I've been browing the forums for some helpfull stuff and I found this little mod that allows you to turn Media Scanning on Boot on or off. The original topic by aditya_t90 can be found here
Requirements:
- USB Debugging: ON
- Root Access
Enter one of the following commands in terminal emulator, adb shell or in a script file
To enable media scanning on boot:
Code:
su
pm enable com.android.providers.media/com.android.providers.media.MediaScannerReceiver
To disable media scanning on boot:
Code:
su
pm disable com.android.providers.media/com.android.providers.media.MediaScannerReceiver

}
it says in the link :
The new v2.3 app works on all android devices!! It even works with internal and external sd cards!
so isn't it easier to install the app, u might not be near a pc when u need to change it
edit: actually u can use a terminal emulator ..ahhh
Thanks!!
If you prefer automated batch files like I do, download attached
Code:
@echo off
adb -d shell pm disable com.android.providers.media/com.android.providers.media.MediaScannerReceiver
echo all ok?

Code:
@echo off
adb -d shell pm enable com.android.providers.media/com.android.providers.media.MediaScannerReceiver

Sorry, those scripts can be executed from the DOS command line. I guess they can be created for CWM too, but I am not too familiar with those scripts you can try attached, no idea whether it works (I'm sure broodplank will correct me if I'm wrong)

It enables or disables media scanning of your sdcards at boot (see in your top bar when the device starts)

brood, I need your help... again!
You know... I got this music-gallery /emmc bug (cannot find music, pictures with music apps/gallery apps)
I made a long research, found out that the media scanner doesn't scan on boot. maybe the reason for this bug...
if I try to scan manually, the media scanner just scan the internal sd card.
maybe there is some build.prop tweak that disables the media scanner on emmc.
any suggestions?
tried to set media scanner on boot with this code and terminal emulator... doesn't work at all....

Is it possible to place this script in init.d? Since the media are empty after every reboot, I want to enable it during boot and disable after scan.
Does this work on Kit kat? Speciffically 4.4.2?
I made a simple shell script to enable/disable media scanning. I am a noob, so please don't hate
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
echo ""
echo "<Usage: mediascanner <onboot|offboot>"
echo ""
case "$1" in
'onboot')
echo "Media scanner will be started on boot"
pm enable com.android.providers.media/com.android.providers.media.MediaScannerReceiver
;;
'offboot')
echo "Media scanner will not be started on boot"
pm disable com.android.providers.media/com.android.providers.media.MediaScannerReceiver
;;
esac
A shell file is attached if you want to be lazy. Rename it to mediascanner.sh (or just mediascanner) then push it to /system/bin/ and chmod 655 it. When you want to run it, do: su > mediascanner onboot|offboot (choose one). Ex: # mediascanner offboot
Hope that helps!
@Rehab4Life it does work on 4.4 KitKat

Hey Everyone,
Is anyone else having major issues getting all their apps over to Froyo's Apps2SD? I cant restore my apps using Froyo-compatible apps like Titanium Backup, I cant download them from the market because if fails during the install. Only way ive found that works (but is manual and tedious) is to install to internal, and then "Move to SD" for each app.
Till Apps2EXT gets officially implemented in CM6, does anyone know of a better method of converting to the Froyo Apps2SD. I have BART backups and all the apks, but nothing seems to work for batch install.
I am using the updated gapps that was posted for the market fix, btw
Thanks!

This is the part where I post a sarcastic pic and tell you to GTFO.
But I too am having the same problem. I tried to use ADB and DroidExplorer to batch install my backed up apps but they both failed.
I really want to use CM6 on a daily basis but I can't without my favorites apps.
There's a thread you might have missed where firerat has an implementation... for now.
Go check it out and I think you might be happier...

I saw that he put together a quick script for it, but I also heard that it slows things down. Might give it a shot anyways, though.
If anyone else has a good method of converting over to Froyo A2SD, def leave word here

Batch install on internal worked fine (titanium 2.9.7.6, 150 apps), it's better than nothing.I use FR data patch (85 instead of 55MB free space).

Ya, I found that internal worked okay as well w/ Titanium backup. I just have to manually move all of them to the SD card :-|
I havent had any luck installing directly to the SD card, it gives an error each time, both when installing APKs within Android and using ADB
EDIT: Seems the only method working for me is to restore to internal, and "move to sd" (you need to enable it in CM settings)

this would move everything in /data/app to the FroYo sd
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
#
# move all apps from /data/app/ to /sdcard/.android_secure ( FroYo apps2ext )
pm setInstallLocation 2
for apk in `ls /data/app/*apk`;do
cp $apk /dev/temp.apk
echo "uninstalling $apk"
pm uninstall -k `awk -F \" '/'\`basename $apk\`'/ { print $2 }' /data/system/packages.xml`
echo "reinstalling $apk"
pm install /dev/temp.apk
done
rm /dev/temp.apk
takes a while..
and it will move everything !!
change
for apk in `ls /data/app/*apk`;do
to
for apk in `ls /data/app/*apk|egrep -v "app1|app2|app3"`;do
where app1,2 and 3 are the ones you wish to keep on internal

method works
i tried it on a few apps just to test and it works. only prob is i get :failure container error on some apps. i think it may be because they are not froyo ready. have to leave but will post logcat when i get back. thanx again firerat
The Transparent status bar will only show up if you use ADW launcher, for some reason Launcher Pro doesn't show it as transparent (but the theme does still work, and I am still not sure why)
I have modified the status bar and the background, but currently using the standard icons, and I haven't yet figured out how to change the network provider text and date text colours to change the full theme (will research this tomorrow)
Will be changing the icons fairly soon
Still, here is the very first, mod from me for the new custom ROM or the X10
The status bar for AOSP is using a gradient, I like it, but let me know if you think a solid transparent colour would be better...
(You can see it best from the last screen shot in the market)

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
To install, you will need a rooted X10:
For Custom ROM (AKA AOSP) :download the transparentAOSP.7z and unzip.
For SE Standard: download transparent.7z and unzip
From the unzipped location, run the transparent setup.cmd file and choose the options you want.
Please be sure to select the correct theme for the version of 2.1 you are running. If you flash the wrong one, you will need to reflash with SEUS or update manager.
I would also advise you take a full backup with titanium, just in case
Release:
V0.1 Initial Release, black transparent mods to framework-res.apk
V0.2 Black mods to Conversations.apk, updated installer
V0.3 Red mods made to framework-res.apk and conversations.apk, updated installer to include black and red selection
V0.4 Blue and Green now added
V0.5 'Blank' theme added
V0.6 AOSP theme added

Yes, you will.
I've used the super one click rooting method, as it is the best I have found so far, but if you root through another method makesure you install busybox and super user.

you will need to do this from a computer, rather than straight from your phone and for this I'm assuming you are using windows on your PC (I don't know the specifics for linux or mac OSX)
but, go to start and run, type 'cmd' and press enter. Then you will get the command line, then type as posted in the last post from me, then, finally, try to run the cmd file in the zip you downloaded from the first post.
again...
ok i run cmd n this come out after i typed adb shell ''adb is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.''

OK, do you have the Android SDK installed?
If you have, then you will need to change directory in the command window to the SDK path - e.g. should you install SDK in C:\Android-SDK_windows then type cd Android-SDK_windows
Then run the adb shell command from there.
If you need the SDK, download from here:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
There are also a few ADB guides around on the XDA forums that will have more details step-by-step guides and should help with trouble shooting
(for example, this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821022)
yup i have sdk n now ''chmod 4755 /system/bin/sh <press enter>'' not permitted

but the first line worked (so you are in adb shell and have been presented with the message on your phone asking to give unknown super user permissions)

Hello, I wrote this shell script to make the CM7 nightly the way I like. It was a pain to do it manually every time I would flash a new nightly.
NOOB WARNING:
THIS SCRIPT IS FOR CM7 NIGHTLY ONLY. IT MAY WORK FOR OTHER CM7 BASED ROM BUT USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK. IT DELETE SOME FILES ON THE /SYSTEM/APP AND MODIFY YOUR BUILD.PROP FILE. I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU DESTROY YOUR PHONE NOR IF YOUR PET DIES AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
This script do this:
1) delete some APKs from /system/app that I don't need
/system/app/Camera.apk - replaced by Miui camera
/system/app/Calculator.apk - I use RealCalc
/system/app/FileManager.apk - I use Root Explorer
/system/app/Music.apk - I use the new Music App
/system/app/BooksPhone.apk - I don't use this
/system/app/Protips.apk - Useless

2) replace the boot animation with a sharper and bigger version (file size is bigger too)
The original boot animation size is too small for our screen. Some people could car less for this as you don't reboot your phone that often.

4) backup and edit build.prop to display "Inspire 4G" as device name
Some people asked how it affect the market and so far so good for me.
I have no idea if automatic backup/restore from Google is working or not. I use Titanium Backup to restore my apps before I login with my Google account.

Things you will need:
1) Scripting Layer for Android (SL4A)
Free app. We will use this to run the script.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2) Script and other files - RAR version inspirefy_files_v1.1.rar or ZIP version: inspirefy_files_v1.1.zip
All the files needed for the magic to happen...
VERSION 1.1 UPDATE: If you already have the version 1.0 on your phone you can download the attached zip file from this post to update the script to version 1.1 - Just extract the zip file to /sdcard/inspirefy/ and replace the old 'inspirefy.sh' script.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How to install & use it:
1) Extract the inspirefy_files.rar (or inspirefy_files.zip) to the root of your sdcard (/sdcard).
You will have 2 new folders (or just 1 new folder is SL4A was already installed): /sdcard/inspirefy and /sdcard/sl4a
2) Install the sl4a on your phone and run it.
2a) Select "run-inspirefy.sh" from the main screen. If it's your first time running the script you must confirm the super user request.
3) After the script is done (about 2s) you can close SL4A and reboot your phone.
Done
You can edit the file /sdcard/inspirefy/inspirefy.sh with your preferred text editor to make any changes you would like, maybe you want to keep the Tips widget
Have fun!
Thanks to dog77k for the feedback and suggestions and everybody who is using this script.
Good stuff LGSilva. Will let you know how things go after I find a free method to extract the rar (don't use root explorer) or when I get to my desk...
Very cool and glad to see this. Nice job

Just added a ZIP version for the necessary files in case you want to do this on your phone.
forgive me, but I've never ran a script on android before. I loaded up the folders on the root of my sdcard, installed SL4A and ran it. Superuser didn't ask for permissions. Also, I can't figure out how to run what I need to. Help?

When you ran the script did you get the terminal window output with something like this?
Code:
Inspirefy 1.0 by LGSilva
Remounting system partition rw...
Deleting apk files and boot animation...
Copying new boot animation and camera...
Setting permitions and ownership...
Backuping build.prop and changing device name...
Remounting system partition as ro...
DONE
.
The text is tiny but you can read it. Is there any error message on the terminal window?
Check the superuser app, sometimes it will have the SL4A marked to deny root...
Edit: Just testing on build 103... looks like SL4A is not happy with this build, time to investigate.

They (nightly forum) are saying that the SU app is jacked on 103...
Nightly build #103 have a problem with Superuser not working right therefor my script won't work either.
To fix this download the Superuser from Rom Manager > Extras, reboot in recovery and install it.

Yep, you beat me to that, I blame the internet
Two suggestions/hints for the inspirefy.sh code:
"chown root.root /sys..." gave me an unknown user/group error, but "chown 0.0 /sys..." worked for me.
I was getting an error when trying to remount /system as ro that it was still busy so I added a 2 sec pause before trying to remount:
Code:
echo -e "Remounting system partition as ro...\n"
sleep 2
mount -o ro,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system
echo -e "DONE.\n"
Otherwise the code worked well for me. Great work LGSilva.
I was having problems with SU thats why lol I'll fix it and try this again and update when I'm done

Thank you dog77k for the suggestions.
I've updated the script with them and also added a 2sec pause after mounting it as RW just in case...
Files with version 1.1 updated on the first post, no need to reinstall SL4A.
tested and seemed to run just fine on build 104. thanks for the awesome script! very cool
Thank you!
+1 to both of you, thanks for the great scripting solution.

Ability to disable\enable ANY installed app on your phone!
Ability to backup your settings
Ability to restore your settings
Directions and Information
Apps will STILL BE DISABLED when you reboot - rooted or not!
Just download the .zip, extract, and run the viperMOD_Bloat_Manager_v3.1.1.bat file from your computer.
To run this, go into Terminal and type "su" (without quotes) then "viperbloat" (without quotes) and it will run. You can also set Terminal Emulator to run this right when you run the app by going to Menu > Preferences > Initial Command > Press "Enter" > type "su" (all lowercase, no quotes) > press Enter > type "viperbloat" (all lowercase, no quotes)
You can also run this through ADB on your computer by doing adb shell then ""viperbloat" (all lowercase, no quotes). Much easier to read the app list!
You can MAJORLY screw up your phone by using this! Be mindful of what you're playing with and if you really mess things up, just reboot and reroot.
Here is a helpful link to what some of the apps are.
Known Issues
None!

Download .bat HERE

giving this a go now. ill report back ;-)
Cant seem to get this to work. i just type viperbloat in adb or terminal emualtor and it says not found. then i type /sdcard/viperbloat and i get permission denied?
ran through terminal emulator and just removed safe bloatware and recommended. no errors and ill report back how it does for my battery life. there is a option that says no recommended and i followed it because i didnt want to start from scratch. So far i give this app a thumbs up.
Thanks for the hard work.

Did you run the .bat file? Run it again.
And I assume you guys have the same deal as the EVO 3D and we are using /vendor for /system (symlink)? That's how I have it setup is to push it to /vendor/bin and chmod. Please let me know.

here too, script fails with the "busybox mount | grep /vendor/system" as there are no /vendor/system on my phone, and the grep finds 'ro' from probably /vendor/firmware ?
in /vendor/ i have bin and firmware directory
Also i cant seem to root now heres what i get in adb http://pastebin.com/gWb0eAsP
Also make sure that the exploit ran to ur Sd card. That may be the cause of the errors.

to

and got rw
then when disable bloat, i get
/vendor/bin/viperbloat: line 402: pm: not found

HOW TO DEODEX YOUR I9001
THIS IS A SIMPLE GUIDE FOR THE NOOBS SO THAT THEY CAN DEODEX THERE I9001
What you'll need:
A Windows based machine
JDK
ANDROID SDK
LATEST XULTIMATE
And A Rooted I9001
Process:
1. Unzip xUltimate v2.2, and launch "Main.exe"
2. If everything goes well xUltIMATE should recognize the phone and make a connection. You now should see a list of options.
3. Run option 1. After option 1 is done, run option 2.
4. Now these well take a while. Run option 3.
5. IMPORTANT: After you have run option 3
6. Now run option 4, and wait.
7. Exit xUltimate, and put the phone in USB mass storage.
8. Go back into the xUltimate folder and copy "done_frame", and "done_app", and move them to the root of the internal sdcard not in the external sd.
9. Now Put the phone in USB DEBUGGING mode and DON'T PUT THE PHONE IN MASS STORAGE MODE
10. Open a command prompt, and do the following:
Code:
$ su
# stop
# mount -o remount rw /system
# rm /system/app/*.odex
# rm /system/framework/*.odex
# cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/
# cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/
# mount -o remount ro /system
# reboot

Can be done in one step (option 5 - Pull and Deodex all).
Note that deodexing (steps 3 and 4) sometimes returns errors. Just repeat the procedure and it will work a second (or third) time...

You can also make a batch file to move files from the xUltimate folder onto your device (put this patch-file into the xUltimate folder - this will not use the sdcard and push the files directly onto the device!). Something like this:
Code:
@echo off
jar\adb -d remount
jar\adb -d push done_app /system/app
jar\adb -d push done_frame /system/framework
echo all ok? going to remove *.odex files...press a key to continue...
pause >nul
jar\adb -d shell rm /system/app/*.odex
jar\adb -d shell rm /system/framework/*.odex
jar\adb -d remount
echo rebooting...press a key to continue...
pause >nul
jar\adb -d reboot
pause

Yes, running Main.exe and deodexing requires the device to be plugged into USB. Using ADB also uses USB, although you can do it from your device too with shell tools. And if you want an automated DOS script for moving the files using ADB, see above

One more thing: you need BusyBox too:

Sent from my GT-I9001 using XDA App
It doesn't work with the shell on your mobile since when u type "stop" it totally freezes.. ADB SHELL IS REQUIRED. the poster might want to say that since this is just a 100% copy of the deodex I9003 tutorial
when i tried it my phone got in a bootloop tho.. but I will try later again
I used ADB and it works. No bootloop or errors
to deodex always use ADB
and be sure that you have busybox installed on your device
otherwise the commands cant be executed
Guys, what am I doing wrong?
- Rooted XXKPS
- Ran main.exe ok with all steps.
- All okay until "(busybox) cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/"
It can't find my sdcard.. I'm sure I have the files placed in the root of the internal sdcard.
