Auto Swap ----- linux-swap

Thanks to JAC for telling me how to do it, and to Denkai for providing all the necessary parts.
This is a modified ap2sd.sh to auto run the linux-swap partition on boot.
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/bin/a2sd.sh
adb push /pathtofile/a2sd.sh /system/bin
adb reboot
this can be done in terminal too.
The file is attached.
NOTE: I HAVE ONLY TESTED THIS ON JACHERO2.3.2 use at your own risk.
Please reference this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=531988 to see what swap method I'm talking about.

What build is this for?
I am using soulife's rogers with a modified a2sd and this would definitely put my phone in a boot loop.

AWESOME! Thanks ccyrowski!

For JACHero 2.3.2

Where does init.rc go? On system/sd?

is it necessary to use swapper after this.. should we turn swapper off?

don't use swapper.
You have to have three partitions on your sdcard to do this
fat32
ext2 or ext3
linux-swap

it is.. I just wanted to be 100% sure.. just wonderling I also saw a format for linux swap2.. any difference?

I know it has been asked already. But were does init.rc go?

Worked fine for me.
Just actually included it in a ROM I whipped up from JAC 2.3.3 so you can flash the ROM with three partitions (swapper app already removed) and everything loads up for you without you doing anything.
Any requests for additional things to be removed?

i followed your instruction but after the reboot there was no swap.

Is the third partition on your sdcard "linux swap"?
Open terminal
$ su
# free
If you want ill upload the rom i made for myself with a few customizations. It will do everything for you.

yes the third partition is linux swap and if i use denkai's method it works.
After a reboot the swap settings are lost and #free prints only 0 within swap.

man xda is so slow lately

c:\Android>adb shell free
total used free shared buffers
Mem: 98908 97152 1756 0 32
Swap: 0 0 0
Total: 98908 97152 1756

its not working for me
i put the script in the correct area
but its not swapping anything
i know it says its for 2.3.2 but im trying it on 2.3.3 maybe thats why

[Script] Darkness in the dark hours

hi everyone
I present to you:
Darkness in the dark hours​
this is a pack of:
- a script I made
- Gscript lite
- Screen filter(optional, but recommended)
I strongly recommend to you to read the whole post and only then apply my script!
A lot of users tried to find a way to do this, so I polished my script I used for Eternity to make it universal(hopefully )
this script made to work with rooted 2.1+ firmwares and busybox properly installed.
1. Install Gscript lite
2. To make this script revertable on the newer brand of kernels, you will need to add one line to hw_config.sh (because I just don't trust init.d scripts)
run this from adb or any terminal emulator from phone as superuser
Code:
echo "\n\n\nrm /data/noled_tmp_reverse.prop" >> /system/etc/hw_config.sh
3. in Gscript choose Add a script and name it whatever you want(e.g. NOLed) and paste these lines in it
Code:
#! /system/bin/busybox sh
# "turn off keyboard and notification LEDs" for ANY android firmware
# this script needs su access
# made by Adolf1994
# thanks for the help diimaan
# maybe final version - revertable
# requires hw_config.sh modification to be properly revertable
DIR=$(cd /sys && find | grep brightness | cut -c 3- | cut -d : -f 1 | head -n 1)
LED=/sys/$DIR
LED1=$LED:rgb1:red/brightness
LED2=$LED:rgb1:green/brightness
LED3=$LED:rgb1:blue/brightness
LED4=$LED:sled/brightness
if [ -s /data/noled_tmp_reverse.prop ]; then
chmod 00644 $LED1
chmod 00644 $LED2
chmod 00644 $LED3
chmod 00644 $LED4
rm /data/noled_tmp_reverse.prop
else
echo 0 > $LED1
echo 0 > $LED2
echo 0 > $LED3
echo 0 > $LED4
chmod 00444 $LED1
chmod 00444 $LED2
chmod 00444 $LED3
chmod 00444 $LED4
echo 1 > /data/noled_tmp_reverse.prop
fi
exit
4. tap on "Needs SU" then save
5. run the script and enjoy surfing at night without the annoying hw leds
(most likely you WILL get stderrs on 2.2+, but it's normal)
Note: if you get EMPTY stderrs, that's no problem. BUT if something is shown next to the stderr, like permission denied, then please report
optional. install Screen filter from market: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.haxor&feature=search_result
This is only for 2.1 and/or 2.2. On 2.3 I experienced a problem that's I couldn't press install in package installer activity. I nearly reinstalled the whole thing. You've been warned!
Night is over? Just run the script again and wait till the LEDs light up.
If You Don't Like LEDs At All, This Pretty Line Will Disable Them At Startup
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17514012&postcount=27
Q: Why modifying hw_config.sh?
A: Because if you reboot your phone while the leds are off, there will remain a file that normally indicates how the script should act upon running it. That one particular file should not present after boot.
Q: I'm on Wolfbreak's ROM. Won't that mess tweaks up?
A: In no way. Impossible. Unless you didn't follow steps properly.
hope you like it
and don't forget to press thanks button

can I use script manager to run this at boot?

I think it'd be fine

the script didnt work for me i went to my dolphin browser copied text pasted it saved i run it it showed up stderr twice that's it?

from gscript I get a bunch of stderrs, too. however, from a terminal emulator it runs fine, so no problem.
It's the most noticeable if the phone is on the charger, because you will see that the led suddenly switches off.
you can revert the script back with a simple reboot.

Sorry for being a noob, but what does this do? :$

It disables the l.e.d.s. It should be made a little clearer in op.
Is there a script to turn them back on?

@Adolf or @My_Immortal
any new experiments with sd card mounting?
There was some interesting posts by one shaun in link2sd thread! he's using x10! somehow he managed to find more free space in /system than in /data!
so no need of an extra partition, you can just run the script to mount the /system as rw on boot and then link the link2sd mount point to it! I sent a PM to him about how is it working! let's see...

Ohhh but i tried terminal too pasted the script and nothing happened?

There are currently 190 MB free in my system partition, 219 MB in data and 11 GB in my sdcard, so I really want to use Links2SD on an ext partition in my SD, rather than anywhere else!
But it's nice that there's progress!!

Should explain how to do it, just need to add commands to a start up script that is editable on your phone, that runs before the GUI is started. Dunno how I would create a universal script as you will need to edit diff files on diff phones.
If there is anything you don't understand from my post I'll try and help.

[Q] fjfalcon swap

Is there a way that i can reinstall the swap directly from my xt720 without have to hook to my computer or be at home? If so would someone please be kind enough to share this info with me.

Nope. Because of Motorola's locked bootloader, we have to use fastboot over USB.

Cant see how you could, knowing you need Android SDK and fastboot to boot the kernel. So I guess no.

can i do fastboot from a mac or linux emulator? cos my external hdd just crashed and i have my windows VM on it which i use for rsdlite.

Yes you can.
All you need is kernel: http://xt720.ru/Files/Kernel/boot2.img
And fastboot tool: http://xt720.ru/Files/Tools/fastboot
Don't forget chmod +x to fastboot and run it as root(or use sudo)

is this boot2.img different from the original boot.img kernel that you posted initially?

But it was created long ago.. i think.. =)

I was not updated, I folllowed reverendkyle's tutorial and used the boot.img that was posted on the tutorial video, i was not aware that there was an updated one. I'll push this new (for me it's new) one now.. LOL Thanks!!

Kernel is now showing as "[email protected] #7" would this be correct?

if i do a quick reboot its shows the cache.
i dont face this problem before in khal's steel blue rom...

It's always been that way. You have to fastboot to get the custom kernel with the locked bootloader.

am i supposed to adb reboot into bootloader and from there reboot the phone into fastboot? what am i supposed to type on a mac? because you need the boot.img to be in a specific directory on windows, but im not sure about doing it on mac. should i put the boot2.img into the android sdk too? sorry for asking so many questions, but i dont wanna risk bricking or anything. thanks!
edit: after i watched reverendkjr's vid again i decided to try and i put the boot into platform-tools and from there i rebooted into bootloader, and then typed fastboot boot boot2.img and now my phone is on [email protected] #7
but just curious, what was the chmod + x for?

Allow to launch fastboot binary.

I'm on XDA-SPECIAL-HELLMONGER-RC2. when I run - chmod 777 /system/etc/unit.d/00_swapon it fails and says"Read only file". And swap is not enabled by fastboot.. wondering what am i doing wrong?

Brian! Welcome! There's a thread about your ROM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1206018
You may need to post 10 times before you can reply there though. So, how's the weather?

which one should i use for cm6.3 rc3? havent fastbooted for a long time. ive tried boot2 but when i fastboot, setcpu doesnt show any swap. in my notifications, android keeps "checking sd card for errors". any help?

For now, is there any way to fastboot fjfalcon's kernel without using any PC?
I've heard something about hot reboot that reboots the phone but keeping the fjfalcon's kernel.
Thanks for the info.

market fix for download limitaton-froyo based old market (doesnt work on new market)

forgot to post this before but if you ever have issues downloading files that are beyond 30 mb
here do this from adbshell
umount /cache
busybox mount -o rw,remount -t rootfs /
rmdir /cache
mkdir /data/cache
ln -s /data/cache /cache
that will remove the 40 mb limit of the market (shouldnt apply to gingerbread)

FOR3V3R ROOT for Bionic - applicable for the A2?

http://droidmodderx.com/bionic/maintain-root-through-any-update-bionic-with-forever-root/
Anyone want to give it a try? It seems like it should work for the A2- all it does is change permissions of su and Superuser.
EDIT- hm that's strange, it seems to change the file's permissions to what they already are?

Yeah, it is for after an upgrade, which changes the perms to 000. So by putting the chmod command for su and Superuser.apk in the mount_ext3 script it will do it on EVERY boot even if it is not needed, so after an update, it will save you a ton of headache. I did it on mine, but we won't know how it works until after an upgrade.
