Someone correct me if I'm wrong but, pretty sure a terminal emulator app is just for exploring/utility for your phone's Linux command.

Init.d support

When a dev says their kernel has init.d support, what exactly does that mean? I've been told if the kernel doesn't support it you can load the script in script manager and tell it to run as root and run at boot.

Yes I know what it is but when they say, init.d support what does that mean, support. If they don't support init.d can't I still put a script there tell it to run at boot. So if they don't support it would doing that not work?

With init.d support, you don't have to make Script Manager manually start all scripts on startup. Script Manager takes the place of init.d for those that don't support it, but that's still another program running in the background.

Does script manager have to stay running after it has executed the scripts?

Not quite sure. I know if you set it to run at boot, there will be a message at startup saying "script manager has been granted superuser permissions".

No. It actually ends the process on its own afterward.
--------------------------
In my experience loopy smoothness needs to be run at boot while v6 supercharger does not. It doesn't seem to take hold otherwise. I could of course be wrong.

Super One Click is easy enough... even though you might have to try multiple times, its the closest thing to a "one touch root".

This is though is that my com doesn't work its stuck in ubuntus command line on boot so I can't use it until I get a different boot image

[Q] Flashing ROM over an emulator?

Hi
I have made some modifications to an MTD ROM posted in dev section.
I would like to test it on an emulator before I flash it to my actual device.
I installed Eclipse (with ADT plugin) and downloaded some Google APIs (2.1,2.2,2.3.3) but I haven't seen our device in the list...
So I just launched a virtual device based on 2.3.3 but I don't think it is heping me much, it's just a general 2.3.3 android device.
My questions are : (and I did read quite a lot, maybe haven't looked in the right places)
1. what target do I need to download and add to AVD to emulate SGH-T959V ?
2. How do I get it to function with recovery ? and actually flash kernel etc.
3. Do I need specific actions to emulate MTD over our phone ? same as in real phone ?
4. Will I be able to virtually flash a ROM on an emulator ?
links to constructive/informative sources are also appreciated.
Thanks a lot !

I'll rephrase, how do you guys test your ROMs prior to flashing them, or you don't...

I have been trying to do that for a while. What I've discovered is that you can build emulater version from source, or use a nandroid backup.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

I was messing around with this last night, but couldn't get a nandroid backup image to load properly in the android emulator. I was following these threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1591924
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=906161
I'll get back to you if I find anything else that works.

I couldn't get it tot work either, but I thought it was just me.

It's not really designed for phones.

Yeah, it works on these devices, but it is mainly designed for media player use, like the Google Nexus Q.

As stated in original thread if you hear sound but black screen you need to send him logcat and device model. Its a known issue.

My friend and I both tried different builds. I always have black screen. Funny thing is that the first time he tried it worked for him. He didn't play any movies but he was going through the settings. He closed it and it never opened again. Just black screen.

Same here.I was able to run once, and thats it.We shoud send log cat or something to devs...
Sent from my LG-P920 using xda app-developers app

I didn't try it yet but...
Could work if we'll trick the program to think that it's on another device? I mean changing the identity of O3D, as it happens in the Xperia 3D rom by Meemo if I'm not in error. With that ROM the update program and Google Play were seeing my phone as a SE Xperia not as LG O3D!
I'll be peeing against the wind but it worth a shot to try.

So we have to edit build.prop?We need to find the line where device name is i gues...
Will try this...

Looking at my build.prop I see the lines:
ro.product.model=LG-P920
ro.product.brand=lge
ro.product.manufacturer=LGE
Anyway you should see first a build.prop file of a device that you know it works
And pay attention to what you modify because you can brick it, get a boot loop or something like that.
And you should ask advice from a developer... they are all good guys and I think that would help you gladly.
Again I might be peeing against the wind - but you never know.

I did a full backup and then edit build.prop to NEXUS S.With no luck, i got the same error.Will try with different edit in build.prop... Thx for you help.:thumbup:

Thanks.But one stupid question: what version have you tried? I guess the Neon version because ours doesn't have Tegra.But one I've tried Tegra designed games and some of them worked.See my early threads.I'll try also but I'm not so brave with coding or something like that
Sent from my LG-P920 using xda app-developers app

Both versions.None of them working.But one thing that I've noticed is that if you go to kill application and clear cache you'll see that this one, the cache is about 45 Mb which is a lot and therefore freezes the phone.Could this be a problem?Cache file too big?I think that in the end it needs bigger RAM, like 1 Gb.
