Change log.
0.2 Added WPA2 script , user just have to edit and enable it.
0.1 Added boot from loop or second partition.
0.0b first release
There is already a thread for this...
Here is what I would do:
1)Rebuild your kernel without virtual terminal,
2)use/boot this kernel with android.
3) use es file explorer to find the write /dev/block/mmcblkXXX???
use this in the init script of the initrd
4) use terminal emulator and ls -la to find out the MAJOR and MINOR number
of the right /dev/block/mmcblkXXX
use/change this in the bin/MKNODE script in the initrd
-> Done

You can try step 3 and 4 also with the default android system. It is likley that it shows the same behavior.
Yea, but where is my motivation to buy a transformer, when you already have done the fun part.

i thing makedev is not even running as i dont even see the intro .( make is after intro )
think i have to dd the image to sdcard and that the kernels calls directly to init on root dev
you remember that sdcard is not mounted because of makedev , here its already working i think

and have you seen any progress at the thread? cmon the thread title says: coming soon (i assume)
dd the image to sdcard (or even better to the internal nand sometime in the future) should end up in an better performance anyway.
If the intro doesn't show up there may be a problem with the arguments of mkbootimg.
It was the following if someone else want to give it a try:
./mkbootimg --cmdline 'init=/init rw consoleblank=0 fbcon=rotate:1' --kernel zImage --ramdisk ramdisk-new.gz -o boot-new.img
Maybe you can add a the link to your zImage and to your ramdisk in the first post if someone else want to try/help.
Otherwise the link can be found in the coming soon (i assume) thread.

I just tried this, and it appears that the tweak to the file makes a difference in speed tests.
I'm trying to get my hands around how to actually test it in real-world situations.
So for CM7 - this would definitely be a nice addition to this already excellent ROM...

This should have been posted in the CM7 thread. Why start a new one?
Here is a flashable zip that will add the fix to an init.d script and will survive reboot. It checks to see if the value is 4, and if so changes it to 128. You have to apply it after each new rom flash.
This can be tested with adb pull.
Pull it with the setting at 4. pull pack the cm rom to a local folder. you will get speed stats. after the first pull, set the param to 128. pull again.
syntax from adb: adb shell echo 128 > /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb
from terminal - just skip the adb.
one note, I tried this on my Aria - it broke adb transfers. Then I tried it again and it worked.
Before I add this to CM, I want to make sure it's reliable.
The gallery loads even faster.

the correct way is to add it to init.rc - that's when I had a failure. but the failure is not consistent.

On cm, if you want to preserve an init script, you can do anyone of the following:
Save it in /sd-ext/userinit.d/
Save it as /sd-ext/userinit.sh
Save it as /data/local/userinit.sh
Use cm's backuptool, it runs on rom installation. Just save its path (without the leading "/system/") into /system/etc/custom_backup_list.txt
Code:
etc/init.d/04sdcardspeedfix
Apparent improvement
Just flashed the above posted zip on CM7 Nightly 18 - seems to be a dramatic improvement, at least in stats, on my cheapie class 6 card:
before update: Write 5 / Read 6
after update: Write 4 / Read 12
I did not conduct this test at all scientifically - just ran one speed test before and one after the update, so take it for what it's worth I guess...just figured I'd share.

[HOW TO] activate JIT on 2.2
PEOPLE. NO OFF TOPIC HERE!
if you dont know what JIT is it basically speeds up your phone, very recommended! more info ---> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just-in-time_compilation
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi all! i know some of you want to test JIT complier... so i did a little research and found greek forum ---> http://www.myphone.gr/forum/showthread.php?t=286161
there our friend kyrillos13 has posted a way to activate JIT. so heres guide in english how to do it:
Activation Wizard of JIT
You need to install the root explorer (find it by searching on google). After the installation will take you to leave a message superuser. Press allowed. Download the file from here http://www.multiupload.com/9HK3NP4MML Unzip and copy the system folder on your memory card. With root explorer access the bin folder, select all the files and copy them to the path / system / bin / on your mobile. Upon return to the system folder that you copied to your phone and open the folder lib. Select all the files and then copy the path / system / lib / on your mobile. Then execute the commands listed in the file folder JIT instructions to download either via the adb pc or terminal emulator through the phone. Stir in and reboot. Download from the MARKET linpack do the install and run. If you pull MFLOPS 7 + (maybe even 11+) your ok. The linpack is optional. The jit will work anyway. just if you have doubts about whether you did it right then test it with the linpack (from market)...
the commands:
(adb shell) write this IF using ADB,
su
chmod 755 /system/bin/dalvikvm
chmod 755 /system/bin/dexopt
chmod 755 /system/bin/logcat
---------------------------------------------------
automatic batch script is the best way!!

Everywhere you can read that you have enable Jit in this file,
but I can't see any difference if I write : dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:jit
or if I erase this.
If I change the the heapsize, I can't see any differences too.
Can anybody tell me something about the build.prop ?

Well, I was struggling to get JIT for three days before it came up here.
All I learned about JIT is that you have to have DEODEXED ROM and be ROOTED. This package of JIF is specific to our phones but do you have to be on JPM - I`m not sure. This may even work for Eclair. Until not tested can`t say. I`m not going to test it on Eclair or any other version and who does have Eclair anyway nowadays
If I`m wrong please correct me.

Hello again xda, today I want to present something tiny, but nontheless important (in my view) for our old TF101 ...
The first working HOTPLUG governor for this device!
Q: What the hell is 'hotplug' ?
Hotplug Governor:
The “hotplug” governor scales CPU frequency based on load, similar to
“ondemand”. It scales up to the highest frequency when “up_threshold”
is crossed and scales down one frequency at a time when “down_threshold”
is crossed. Unlike those governors, target frequencies are determined
by directly accessing the CPUfreq frequency table, instead of taking
some percentage of maximum available frequency.
The key difference in the “hotplug” governor is that it will disable
auxillary CPUs when the system is very idle, and enable them again once
the system becomes busy. This is achieved by averaging load over
multiple sampling periods; if CPUs were online or offlined based on a
single sampling period then thrashing will occur.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
As you can see, hotplug is able to deliver you the fastest experience and the most fps in game (kernel independant), but it also allows for completely switching off one core to save battery life. In my testings, that worked very well. I also found out, that with this governor, my TF is deep-sleeping like a baby. No governor around here (not even smartassv2 ... could deliver me this performance while maintaining a decent battery life).
Tested on EOS 4.2.1 with EOS4 kernel
But try out yourself:
NOTE: This works on any 2.X kernel available (my Harmony series, ELiTE series, KatKernel series, or any other kernel except my divemaster)
Code:
1) Download a terminal emulator (if you don't have one already)
2) Download the .ko module from [URL="https://dl.dropbox.com/u/31119007/xda/hotplug-tegra-2/cpufreq_hotplug.ko"]here[/URL]
3) Remember the path you saved the module to (or preferably move it into /system/lib/modules)
4) su
5) insmod path-to-module/cpufreq_hotplug.ko
6) Switch to 'hotplug' governor with your favourite tool.
If you were too lazy to read my instructions, this is for you ..

As always, have fun, share, and report back!
I have followed the instructions, do I have to run it every reboot or just this one off?
Nothing really happened when I ran it but I guess it just loads the module.
Cheers buddy
Must say thanks again for all the amazing work!

Wow I derped that up, thx lol.
Was running fine at 1.2 decided to bump it up to 1.4 hit apply and it rebooted on me, is also didn't stick after reboot like others have said.
In here you may find how to make permanent the governor insmod.
Long story short is "add a script in /system/etc/init.d , it can be something like 91modules. . Add execution permission and it can contain the same code as before. Reboot and it should load your module at boot (be sure that the path to your module is right).
Also, you can do that in one line as root in a terminal. First, be sure that your /system is mounted as rw, not ro. If you don't know how to do that, as root, in a terminal, execute:
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /system
Then:
Code:
echo -e \#\!/system/bin/sh'\n'insmod [B]/path/to/module[/B]/cpufreq_hotplug.ko > /system/etc/init.d/91modules | chmod +x /system/etc/init.d/91modules
"
It should load automatically next time you reboot.
I created the 91modules file and done the editing and file permission in ES File Manager, but the above instructions should work flawlessly.
Don't thank me for this. Thank MapleSyrup

Posts like this are keeping my work up and my releases coming.
People like you are the reason I am putting this much effort in this kinda old device .
For those who experience SOD/RR with hotplug and can confirm it's not related to anything else, please gimme a dsmg/ksmg (I recommend using 'Lumberjack' from the playstore (made by Chris Trotman, EOS founder).
*NO* logcat, that isn't any useful for me in this case ..
I do now have 2 days uptime with hotplug governor, not a single SOD/RR, pretty much usage (wifi on all the time, a little Riptide GP, web browsing, most of the time playing music) and still got 20% left with EOS4 kernel while achieving full performance while needed. This thing is deep-sleeping just perfectly.
I have placed the hotplug in the system this morning and my battery life still 99% im using it with dock and dono m8 but if theres any problem but seems my tf101 dont consume energy at all im starting to get scarry lol

I typed all this in and it wont survive uve a reboot. I placed the module in /system/lib/modules and typed that. When i see the | is that a new line or all one line?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium
You can make that code in 2 commands, 1st is all before the | and 2nd the command after the |.
In order to work your final 91modules should look like
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
insmod /system/lib/modules/cpufreq_hotplug.ko
In order to test if it's working you cat try to run it from the terminal (it may need "su" before)
Code:
./system/etc/init.d/91modules
If it's not complaining about not being executable, you may test to see if it's loaded with "lsmod".
If it's loaded it surely will survive the reboot.
I hope that helps you.
Looks like it created the 91modules file in init.d but when i try to set permissions using chmod +x it says bad mode. Maybe thats why it isnt working, wrong permissions.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium
Indeed the chmod +x command doesn't work.
You may use ES file explorer to set file permissions but also you need to allow it superuser access, mount /system as writable and "up to root" and mark execute and write to the user. At the end the file should have the following permissions: rwx r-- r--
Ill give that a try and see if that does it. Thanks!
thanks
Thanks RaymanFX, this is a great addition to our device.
Also thanks to all your work, you are keeping this device alive...
This should probably go in some general Q&A forum, but this is by far the most helpful community I've come across so I wanted to try here first. I've finally got my Ubuntu box up and running again (upgrading to 14.04 wasn't pretty) and was able to build for both my 700t and my n5 without error, but I'm afraid to pull the trigger and flash it. I'm building straight CM for the tablet and AOSP for the phone, so what is the worst that could happen? I haven't gotten either of them to run in the emulator, but I'm not completely sure that is even possible. Any insight you may have would be most appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Just thought of this, since I'm running Crombi ROM2SD, could I just install my zip on external, and then refresh the right kernel?

The worst thing that can happen is that you brick your device, but you must do something sufficiently stupid for that to happen. I can't say anything about your phone, but for the TF700T, as long as you have a working recovery, flashing a ROM won't brick it. You may want to create the nvflash blobs if you want to have another safety net - it is possible to brick the TF700T if you force it to boot to the recovery and the recovery is broken.

That's normal - ARM devices are just too different, and the emulator is just another different device.

I can't say anything about your phone, but for the TF700T, as long as you have a working recovery, flashing a ROM won't brick it. You may want to create the nvflash blobs if you want to have another safety net - it is possible to brick the TF700T if you force it to boot to the recovery and the recovery is broken.
That's normal - ARM devices are just too different, and the emulator is just another different device.
See my Android dual-booting thread in the dev subforum. I originally developed ROM2SD to be able to test my self-built ROMs without breaking my working installation.

Thanks _That, I appreciate your help! After reading your post and the f2fs post, i thought i was in the clear, but i still managed to screw something up. i'm unable to get the tablet to boot off of external, regardless of whether its my ROM or CROMBi. I see a "segmentation error" listed in the output from the the preinit, and then it always boots to internal. I thought maybe i got the mount points reversed in recovered, so i reflashed recovery, but no luck. i also tried deleting the preinit script and then reinstalling CROMBi, but i still get the same error. any thoughts?

For some unknown reason, dynamically linked executables don't work for preinit in KitKat. So if your *internal* ROM is not stock 4.2-based (I have no data about 4.3), the only way to run a preinit script is to use a statically linked busybox.
You still get that fault with a static busybox but it seems to copy files fine.
@psudeke you can compile the static busybox yourself simply with make static-busybox in your build folder - or just steal mine from /system/boot

Your fault may come from one of the programs that you call in your script (did you forget to prefix some line with "busybox"?).

it comes from the ls -l /init* which indeed doesn't have the busybox prefix but if I do it gives some other error I forget now
Anyway it doesn't harm the boot process - just an error message

Internal is the 5/17 build of Crombi, and its a brand new install. with a full format of the data partition (which in my haste to get this working yesterday, i wiped out my nandroid from right before i tried this).
is there any connection between when the internal is flashed compared to the external? in other words, if i reflash the internal rom, it should still recognize an existing external rom? hope that makes sense, i'm still shaking off the effects of a little too much whiskey last night.:laugh:

No currently if you reflash internal it will only see internal. You need to reflash external for that to work.

Ahh, thanks sbdags! that fixed the issue with ROM2SD. i got that impression when i pulled the preinit and saw it only had an entry for internal. but, i'm still very much in a learning phase so i didn't want to jump to a conclusion.
and after getting crombi to boot on external, i swapped sd cards and my build of CM11 actually booted! now the real learning process begins as i figure out how to customize it.
Thanks again to both you and @_that, you guys are the best:good:

Just wanted to thank you both again for your help. After much trial and error, i was able to build the 5/27 version of CM and merge in that's 9 f2fs kernel, its running well so far. not a bad quadrant score for someone who doesn't know what they're doing!

Be careful what you wish for, I've got a laundry list of questions ranging from basic Linux commands to the nature of the multiverse, lol.
I do have one question out of the gate about the update-binary file. I'm trying to add a couple apps to either the system or data folders, but I'm not sure what commands are available from the stock CM file. I think for the most part by looking at your updater-script file I can figure out the commands to do what I want, but given the little I know about this and the size difference of the binary file between CM and the one i was looking at of yours, I'm curious. Is the best way to see what's available CM's git? I basically just want to install a different Launcher and Viper instead of DSP manager for sound. Do I need to study up on edify to look at the binary or is there an easier way?
Thanks again!

yes the easiest way to do it is just make 2 folders with your extra apps in it say /extras/app
then add the following to the updater-script (you don't need to touch the update-binary unless you start using aroma)
package_extract_dir("extras", "/system");
delete("/system/app/DSPManager.apk");
delete("/system/priv-app/Trebuchet.apk");
What that does is copies the extras/app folder into system and deletes your unwanted apps
note apps can be installed into 2 folders /system/app or /system/priv-app
similarly you can install your user apps into /data/app but this is dangerous with launchers as if the user manually uninstalls it you can't do anything on the tab

Thanks again! i can see how this becomes addicting fast :fingers-crossed:
@sbdags do I need to mount data before installing anything to the /data/app folder? I saw in your updater-script this line, and i'm assuming i need the same:
Code:
mount("f2fs", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p8", "/data");
one other quick question (hopefully), I saw in the XDA WIKI that i can possibly test the script using the update-binary, do i have to do this on the tablet itself? i spent all afternoon trying to fix a problem that amounted to an errant quotation mark in my script (and i knew it was something like that too. too many years of non-terminated string errors to not look there first:laugh, but the only way i could find to test it was to rezip the file and flash. any suggestions?
thank you good sir! :highfive:

just zip the /meta-inf folder, and flash that to test. obviously comment out any format commands as they will fail. That is what I do.
Hey @psudeke you ever need any help with anything to do with source or git let me know
I am also willing to help out
and just a FYI be careful of @sbdags :cyclops: LOL

I do. If I plug my phone in, and then turn on the display to see how far it has charged, the battery percentage is DROPPING! So, I created this. If you want faster charging than your USB port, use ADB over WiFi. But this did help me hone my skills.

OP = overpowered or may be "Original Poster"
Is it possible that your tool only runs on 32Bit systems? I use 64Bit OS with multilib and no chance to make it fly / run or whatever you like

Yes it is built for 32bit systems but you should be able to run it on 64 bit as well. You need to unzip everything of course and make adb and dialog (in the same folder as the script) executable. The command is chmod +x adb && chmod +x dialog
To change it to 64-bit, you'll need to replace the adb and dialog files with the 64-bit versions.
You might need ia32-libs or somthing like that.
Also, OP I think it overpowering. You shall port it to Windows. You shall thank me. LOL, don't have to do it.

Im familiar with chmod Commandline version works well (see signature for phone's setups) while the guy version causes a never ending error output:
libgtk-3.so.0 shared libraries can't be found . All files are present in my Linux so I really have no clue, why i can't open it.

Are you using GNOME? You might need to install libgtk. But, like the readme file says, this is bit is still alpha (it's more beta than beta.. If that makes sense).

It's pretty strange that it used "can't" instead of "cannot". Maybe try using gnome. I dunno, it works on mine.
