DROID 2 ROM! Epic Unleashed 1.0!

This is for the DROID 2 ONLY! Do not flash on your DROID 1 please. I will not help you if you attempt this rom on a DROID 1 and will laugh at you.
For all those having a problem install I have updated the update.zip file. Try it out
Things in the rom:
Removed bloatware(Stupid Verizon!)
Added scripts
Many build.prop mods
This rom is fully Deodexed thanks to bizzshow. Thanks
Themse will be ported. The stock theme comes first!
Still has Motoblur, just took my system folder and edited it a lot. This is the first booted build so please report bugs as you find them to my GTalk matt4542
Thanks to birdman for helping me fix my DROID 2 when I screwed up the system.
The known bug is that the backlight wont turn off when you locked the device, the screen is on but black. Please do not report this bug I will fix it in the next release. This release is buggy and is not for normal use.
Btw I don't have a DROID 1 anymore. DROID 2 now. Will try to keep up D1 development.
I have worked my ass off for this rom so just say thanks!
This has the DROID 1 boot animation for a "retro" feel lol.
READ IMPORTANT!
To install need root and koush's bootstrap app. You will need to make a FULL nandroid backup before doing this because if you screw up your system you can restore. After that go into install zip and toggle the zip authentication check off(or whatever it is) because I wanted this release out so quick I didn't sign the package. DO NOT INSTALL VIA ROM MANAGER!
READ IMPORTANT!
Why the hell have you read all this? Just download it!!

ok so im a noob and this is my first smart phone. i came from a voyager...eww. ive been researching about making a full nandroid backup and am confused by how about doing this. is it the same from a droid x as it is for the droid 2? if someone can point me in the right direction...id appreciate it

Bunch of people on DF have tested it. I've tested it throughly so nothing bad should happen. Take a look if you want

Uh, I'd be careful with this one, kids. I haven't tried it myself, nor have I looked at the entire thing, but the {u,}mountsys scripts are wrong.
Code:
mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system > /dev/nul 2>&1
1) the d2 uses ext3, so the -t param is wrong (and actually unnecessary)
2) our system block device is mmcblk1p21, not mtdblock4 (we don't even have mtdblock4!)
3) > /dev/nul 2>&1 is extremely very not good - silencing error messages means a load of "HELP IT DOESN'T WORK!" complaints that you can't actually diagnose.
The rest of the rom may be fine, and I can't comment on it's quality/safety as I have very little experience with Android, but the above is clearly incorrect, and if something as important as that has been overlooked, who knows what else has.

I just did an adb pull of my system folder. It is in the post.

Cool. Sounds like it is time for me to write another how to or something.
Matt, I am interested in learning more about this. I will see if I can get in touch with you.

Understandable, Matt4542, but I'd fix the mount/umount scripts asap, as literally every other script you've provided depends on those (=

[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?

i cant paste the text corectly ffs i think thats the problem can you upload the script as ".sh" so i can load it whit gscript?

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?

for this script only gscript gives empty stderrs. if I run it with a terminal emulator/adb there's no stderr.

@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?

I use this script most nights now, thanks Adulf! perhaps a mod to the script could be to set an expiry time value? (or is this not possible!)

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] 2.2 Dev firmware for 1 night only

Guys, I've got a 2.2 dev firmware transformer unit for tonight only. Are there any files I should rip before I have to send it back tomorrow? Seems like lots of dev tools installed. I know there are dumps out there, but perhaps the files can be useful.
3.0 version arriving tomorrow hopefully.

It makes sense to dump root and system partitions. Data can also have some useful stuff, but no partition dump needed, may be just /data/app directory. Could you try playing YouTube videos using native app? Does it drops frames?

Seriously. There's been a whole lot of dicking around on this, when this would give us everything to pore over offline. Don't let another one go to waste!

Also get the output from 'cat /proc/partitions' so we know where to split up the partitions.

Why does anybody want the 2.2? Not in a ass way,just actually curious.

It's not about the Froyo ROM, nobody wants that on his TF, really
But since it's a dev device, our devs hope that it is less locked down and perhaps flashable with nvflash for example. This would give us great opportunities. I'm no dev myself, but I hope I could help.

get the files from the /data/ folder.
We believe some dev tools are in the /data/ folder instead of /system/app/, since other people had some apps disappear after they did a factory reset.

I'd back up everything I could.. assuming MicroSD is at /Removable/MicroSD...
Feel free to sub values according to busybox df -h.. for example, if there are 300MB of files on the data partition... create an image accordingly..
busybox dd if=/dev/zero of=/Removable/MicroSD/data.img bs=1M count=768
Bold indicates that it may have to be done in linux.. in this case.. I'm talking about making the ext4 file system on the created images.. in which case.. loop devices wouldn't be in /dev/block/...
for the acutal script..
busybox dd if=/dev/zero of=/Removable/MicroSD/data.img bs=1M count=768
busybox dd if=/dev/zero of=/Removable/MicroSD/system.img bs=1M count=300
busybox losetup /dev/block/loop2 /Removable/MicroSD/data.img
busybox losetup /dev/block/loop3 /Removable/MicroSD/system.img
mkfs.ext4 /dev/block/loop2
mkfs.ext4 /dev/block/loop3
mkdir /Backups
mkdir /Backups/data
mkdir /Backups/system
busybox mount /dev/block/loop2 /Backups/data
busybox mount /dev/block/loop3 /Backups/system
cd /data/
cp -aR ./ /Backups/data/
cd /system/
cp -aR ./ /Backups/system/
then you can use 'dd' to grab whatever other partitions you can find..
I guess this 'offer' is over with.. but I still have a quesiton.. what size was the device? 16 or 32?

Agree, would be great to have the whole thing
I'm mostly interesting in the stuff on the /data partition, since they have apps installed on there that are not in the current system dump

I sent itback and got a nice new 3.0 version. Had to pay again though and wait for ebuyer to collect and spend a week checking the old one though before i get my money back. Consider this very bad customer service.
Managed to rip all the apps from app and system/app. Got the ones that were deleted in a factory reset too! Will find a way to make them available soon.

Guys im not trying to be negative but did no one read what i posted with the last one ? I did post the partitions as well... the 2.2 version is nothing but a device flashed with wrong software.. the sbk is locked it is all locked and the partitions are all different, take the apps if you want but these devices dont hold any keys or secrets for us. :-(

Mms causing force close...

So every time I get a mms from my buddy on t-mo, it causes my messaging app to force close. I am running stock froyo with the overstock kernel. Any thoughts?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

The stock Samsung MMS app has a size restriction on MMS files. I had this problem too. When I get to my computer I can attach the AOSP MMS app that works on froyo. You just have to put the apk into the /system/app folder and rename the existing MMS app to something like Mms.apk.disabled.
sent from my Pinnacle Powered Captivate

Here is the Mms.apk I promised. Sorry for taking so long to get it. It slipped my mind a few times.
You can't just put this on the SD card and install it like any other apk. You have to have root privileges and either use a terminal emulator or ADB.
Put the Mms.apk I attached on your SD card just in the root folder and run these commands EXACTLY like they are written, do NOT type the things in parenthesis, I only wrote that so you know which command is doing what:
Code:
su (for root access)
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system (to mount as read/write)
cd /system/app
mv ./Mms.apk ./Mms.apk.disabled (to keep the stock Mms.apk to revert to, but not to use)
cp /sdcard/Mms.apk ./
Now reboot and you're all set. This is the stock AOSP Mms.apk so it will look different, but you won't get anymore FC's and I prefer this one much better anyways. I do this on every ROM I use.

Thanks! I actually upgraded to kj3 over the weekend, but haven't had a chance to see if the force close issue is still happening

still has it
mine upgraded itself (idk how) but now the 30mb limit is there again

The 30mb download limit is the way android is partitioned on the phone. Samsung basically halfed the partition /cache to give you more app room. Sadly the new market uses that as the download location for the app thus resulting in the limit. I forgot the thread i found this in but if youve rooted and have terminal emulator simply open it up and run these lines of code:
su
cd /
umount /cache
mount -o rw,remount -t rootfs /
rmdir /cache
mkdir /data/cache
ln -s /data/cache /cache
It moves the /cache into /data so as long as you have some free room where your phone stores apps your good. Only side effect is that you have to do it upon every reboot -.- a drag when you keep flashing things or it just crashes. Srry for the long reply, i just couldnt find the thread this was originally at. Post this around anywhere you see people in dismay about the download limit.

Put that into a script and load it with a script manager on boot, or use Entropy's kernel which fixes the market bug.

I finally had it pushed to me today through regulars updates. It's nice. New app logo as well.

Sent from my SGH-I997 using Tapatalk

After my market auto upgraded itself, it always force closed. I narrowed down the problem to me editing the builprop to have density set at 200. When I set it to 240, it works, but non 240 value it failed and force closed. I replaced the market on my phone with the one distributed with ROM and all is well with density at 200.
