[BASH SCRIPT][UPDATED] Governor Switch Scripts from the Command Line

UPDATE: Govswitch.sh has received an upgrade and it can now automagically generate an init.local.rc.new which can be used to set a governor on start up. It will also generate the chosen governor specific script and place it in the /system/bin folder. Thank you Duffkitty for the idea!
Original Post:
In the spirit of Open Source, I've written a couple of scripts that I wanted to share with the community. These are meant for advanced users familiar with the *nix command line. I didn't want to buy SetCPU (yes, I'm cheap ) so I decided to automate the process through the Bash shell language. For those interested, I've written a couple of Bash scripts that allow you to switch CPU governors via the command line. One script generates single instance scripts (one per governor) that can be used in conjunction with GScript for single click governor shortcuts. These single instance scripts are also ideal for changing the governor at boot. The other is command line only and prompts the user to choose from the available governors on the system.
I got tired of having to type it all out so I scripted the process. I just wanted to share with everyone else. I'm also planning to write a watch script that changes to the powersave governor automagically if the battery gets low.
I hope someone finds these scripts useful. Please let me know if anyone finds any errors in the scripts.

Despite my harsh warning above, I've designed these scripts to be as failsafe as possible so that nothing is written if the user does not want changes or the governor being selected is already in use. I use these scripts all the time and I have tried to make them as user friendly as command line scripts can be.

govscriptgen.sh
Description: This script generates a set of scripts, one per governor to '/sdcard/governors/'. If a governor is not available in the kernel, no script is generated for it. IE: You can't have ondemand on a kernel that only has interactive built in as the only governor. If you do happen to run a governor script for a governor that is not available, it will simply exit with an error message and no changes made.
Example:
Run:
Code:
bash /sdcard/govscriptgen.sh
Then:
Code:
bash /sdcard/governors/ondemand.sh

Please let me know if you have any questions.

At first I got a yesno error but ran it with sh and not bash.
Working but I can't figure out gscript it sends out stderr's. I have the lite so dunno.
I'm guessing to start at boot I would need to edit a bit =P

I found this for running scripts at boot. It's a good place to start.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=690564&page=2
govscriptgen.sh
This script generates a set of scripts, one per governor. It's those scripts you would want to use at boot or in gscript. If you didn't change the location, and assuming that you could write to your SD Card, they should be located in '/sdcard/governors'. There will be one per available governor (this is dictated by the kernel configuration).
In GScript do the following:
1. Open GScript Lite.
2. Menu > Add Script
3. Name the script. Let's say Ondemand.
4. Check 'Needs SU?'
5. In the text box type (without quotes), 'bash /sdcard/governors/ondemand.sh'
6. Create a shortcut to that script and it will set the governor it is named for.
govswitch.sh
This one is for use in a terminal and prompts the user for the desired governor.

I think I figured out and was gonna post it but you already did thanks. I appreciate it.

I think it needs the interpreter in front of it. Could you try the following?

I'm glad it worked. Yeah, Android's command line fought me most of the way until I learned to just call bash before running any scripts. I suspect it's probably because the command line on Android initializes in a relatively 'bare' state as compared to all of Linux's bells and whistles that I'm used to.
Let me know if you have any more questions.

I started on Slackware and a '/etc/rc.d/rc.local' file would be really awesome. Slackware being one of the oldest distros (if not the oldest) is very similar to BSD. I've had to configure Slack many times, but once you did it was rock-solid.
Android feels more like Ubuntu in some ways and Red Hat in others, but a very slim version of either. I can't really explain it.
Anywho. Glad I could help.

How did you write this script one month in the future?
Seriously....would this script be able to change kernel voltage from command line? Say changing from undervolted to regular voltage for certain tasks (like GPS nav for example), then switch back to undervolt for other usage? Is something like that even possible? I've seen a few others ask about something like that in other threads.

If there is a command line associated with it, I can write a script that can easily handle it. I haven't looked into the specifics on changing voltages...
TBH: That thought scares the bejeezuz out of me.

These are kernel level calls that have to be compiled into the kernel. Unless they make this available as a system variable, like the governors are, I don't think changing the voltage from the command line is possible... or even safe. The governors are routines written to control different CPU modes of operation and are designed to be fairly safe to use in instances of power management. Adjusting the voltages from the command line would prove to be too close to suicidal because Bash can't operate at the speeds necessary to monitor voltage fluctations.
Example: We hit a voltage spike, which needs to be corrected in nanoseconds (billionth of a second), Bash would brick the phone by not responding until at least 50 milliseconds (thousandth of a second) later, if ever.
Now if they had modules written that the kernel had different voltage 'modes' and built-in safeties, then I wouldn't have a problem manipulating them from the command line. As it stands, I'll leave it to people who think in ARM Assembler, C, and C++. lol

However, I am taking script ideas, so feel free to suggest anything else you might think is useful.
No Hero gets left behind!

Govswitch.sh has received an upgrade and it can now automagically generate an init.local.rc.new which can be used to set a governor on start up. It will also generate the chosen governor specific script and place it in the /system/bin folder. Thank you Duffkitty for the idea!

[Mod][Flash] Universal Bootanimation Flash Update.zip - Sense|AOSP|Sprint|HTC|Verizon

Hello World.
Tommy here. This time I have a nifty little trick for you guys.
This took a little creative thinking but I think I got it pretty good. I was chatting with some Team Ramen Noodles guys and someone asked how an AOSP botanimaiton zip can be flashed on a Sense ROM. This was the lightbulb moment
Instructions for dev:
Download from link below.
Place the file "bootanimation.zip" inside the update.zip. I put a placeholder so you would know where to replace it.
Optionally, you can put a sound "android_audio.mp3". If you don't want it, then just leave it out. Not necessary.
When you open it up, you will see two place holder files, "bootanimaion.zip__HERE" and "android_audo.mp3__HERE". You can delete them if you want, but they don't do anything. Just for reference.
Files must be named "bootanimation.zip" and "android_audio.zip", otherwise won't work.
The script "tt_uni_boot" looks for the animation and sound in the rom, and replaces it depending on what it finds.
This works on AOSP, Sense, Sprint, HTC, and Verizion
The update.zip below is what you should use as your base if you want to make your bootanimation universal for all roms.
Also, if anyone wants to flash it as is, it contains this lovely animation:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

Please report feedback. I and dean_fx tested it before I posted, but if you want different feature or something like that let me know.

Hello World.
Tommy here. This time I have a nifty little trick for you guys.
This took a little creative thinking but I think I got it pretty good. I was chatting with some Team Ramen Noodles guys and someone asked how an AOSP botanimaiton zip can be flashed on a Sense ROM. This was the lightbulb moment
Instructions for dev:
Download from link below.
Place the file "bootanimation.zip" inside the update.zip. I put a placeholder so you would know where to replace it.
Optionally, you can put a sound "android_audio.mp3". If you don't want it, then just leave it out. Not necessary.
When you open it up, you will see two place holder files, "bootanimaion.zip__HERE" and "android_audo.mp3__HERE". You can delete them if you want, but they don't do anything. Just for reference.
Files must be named "bootanimation.zip" and "android_audio.zip", otherwise won't work.
The script "tt_uni_boot" looks for the animation and sound in the rom, and replaces it depending on what it finds.
This works on AOSP, Sense, Sprint, HTC, and Verizion
The update.zip below is what you should use as your base if you want to make your bootanimation universal for all roms.
Also, if anyone wants to flash it as is, it contains this lovely animation:
Original Thread Here
Universal Bootanimation update.zip v0.0.1 - January 08, 2012
Enjoy!
Please report feedback. I and dean_fx tested it before I posted, but if you want different feature or something like that let me know.
Tommy

And in case anyone wants to adapt my script, I am more than happy to share. Just give a little credit

I do something a little different, I take the file.from aosp, its named bootanimation.zip, rename it to spc_bootanimation.zip and place it in system/cutomize/resource. Using root explorer. I reboot, and.it works. I use the ics animation on my on my swag rom.

Yep. That is the tradition method. But now the maker of the bootanimation just needs to post one zip that works on all roms. How handy

Tommy,
You are thanked x2.
You're as busy as a cat covering up sh*t.
I've been trying to quantify your knowledge and sum it up in a few words. I finally figured it out. You, my friend, are an "idea man". Your knowledge keeps expanding because of the unique ideas you formulate when you are challenged with each new endeavor. Yet, it goes beyond just that. You have the generosity to share your ideas and solutions with the community, which encourages others to participate. The kindness and respect that you show to all members of this community is refreshing and much appreciated. Thank you for all your contributions.

First off, great concept!
However, looking through the bash script i noticed what appear to be a few bugs.
1: some typos in the comments and echoed text.
2: you check for an existing sound and set it to BOOT_SOUND but if not found the script continues without BOOT_SOUND initialised to anything.
3: you typed "buxybox" instead of "busybox" in two locations (durring the move process)
4: when replacing the animation you move the new file to BOOT_ANI, then check for and delete the temp file. Then you check if BOOT_ANI exists and report success or failure. The problem as written is that BOOT_ANI always exists, regardless if the move operation succeeded. Same problem for the sound.
I'm working on a fix for these issues and will post it later today, after i have a chance to test it.

Thanks for those notes I caught most of these errors directly after I made posted. But this was just a fun idea I had to help out someone.
1. Yep. lol. locatioon isn't a word.
2. Good point. Bad logic on my part. But the script works regardless. If there is no "BOOt_SOUND" then there will be nothing to move and so the script will just error out during this part. No big deal since there isn't a sound anyways...but it should be fixed regardless.
3. buxybox is also not a word. lol. This was my first typo I noticed after putting the script up. I didn't bother to go in and fix it because the command is actually redundant. In the busybox mv -f command, the file is moved from the original location. No need to "busybox rm" it, or in my case "buxybox"
4. I actually didn't think about this. I wrote the script with intent to put any bootanimation where it belongs. I put the logs in there just for testing purposes and didn't consider that the animation/sound would exist regardless of failure.
Feel free to improve the script at your convenience! That is why I posted it so other users can improve.
While these errors should be fixed, the script still works as intended Only detail oriented people will notice.
I already have an updated version prepared but I will wait for your version. I will post it up

Just got home and about to begin working on this. just wanted to note that the check for a BOOT_SOUND is important in the case where a user doesn't currently have sound and is flashing one that does include a sound. In that scenario they would end up with only the new animation and no sound.
I think i have a solution to choose a default location when no sound is currently present. Will test and report back.

ok, after a little work, some testing, and many many delays, my update to your original script:
http://www.soulshadow.net/android/tt_uni_boot
a few things to note:
- i left the first line unchanged, however to work on my evo running CM 7.1 i had to change the path to /system/xbin/bash. *** Also works using /system/bin/sh ***
- I added more logging
- I added more conditional checks and changed the execution order. can now be used to replace an animation, a sound, or both. depending which files are included in the zip.
- Added a "default" location if no existing animation or sound is found.
- Currently only supports single phone distribution. Meaning, each phone model still requires a different animation zip file because of display size differences. hopefully this limitation can be eliminated with planned run time discovery, creating a truly universal script.
To Do:
- check and possibly reorder the animation and sound search order.
- find out which location should be used as a default
- check permissions on installed files
- run time discovery of phone specs (manufacturer, model, rom) to aid in installation choices.
- remove or back up existing files first
- read command line arguments to change run time functionality and allow for usage from within an app
I am currently working on some of the additional features, but wanted to share what i have so far.
Enjoy!

[MT6582][init.d Tweaks][Mix n Match]-[ALPHA version]

INTRODUCTION
I am using MTK6582 device Agua Rio (close relative of Wiko Rainbow, Explay Fresh, Blu) for 4 months now and to be honest I really enjoyed using this Android phone and so I began searching for effective init.d tweaks that will be compatible for my phone. No offense to the other developers who worked hard on building a set of tweak scripts but most of them are not compatible with my phone. It is simply because the declarations of the path is not present in my device or sometimes they are just supported by MTK6582. So I started recreating my own scripts and have been using it for weeks and works as expected.
This is still in Alpha version so I am not expecting a 360-degree change in performance but if there's one thing I can guarantee you, they are working for the devices I've mentioned above and to prove that there are log files from where you can verify if the scripts were properly executed or not.
DISCLAIMER
I will not be held liable or responsible if you brick your device after flashing this tweak. ALWAYS HAVE YOUR BACKUP READY!
FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

REQUIREMENTS
1. Rooted
2. Busybox
3. Kernel with init.d support
4. Custom recovery tool (CWMR, TWRP, Philz, CarlivTouch)
5. Presence of mind
6. Faith!
HOW TO INSTALL
1. Download the flashable zip file and save it to your SDcard (remember where you saved it)
2. Power off your phone
3. Press Power + Vol UP + Vol DOWN simultaneously
4. Choose Recovery mode
5. Select install from SDcard
6. Install the zip file
7. Wait until the installation is completed.
8. Reboot!
To manually Push the tweak
1. Download the zip file into your SDcard
2. Extract the files
3. Copy all the contents of init.d to your /system/etc/init.d
4. Change the permission to rwxr-xr-x or rwxrwxrwx
5. Copy all the content of net to /system/etc
6. Change the permission of "hosts" and "resolv.conf" to rw-rw-rw
7. Go to /data and add a new folder named "Tweaks"
8. Go to /data/Tweaks and add new 2 folders - "scripts" and "logs"
9. Copy all the contents from "scripts" (from the zip file) to /data/Tweaks/scripts
10. Change the permissions of all the files in /data/Tweaks/scripts to rwxr-xr-x or rwxrwxrwx
11. Reboot.
HOW TO VERIFY
With the use of Root Explorer or ES Explorer, go to /data/Tweaks/logs and you will see the log files generated by the scripts. Also if you have a Terminal Emulator, you can check that the rotational scripts are running in the background.
Oh by the way, sorry to disappoint the Antutu lovers but the scripts were not customized to satisfy your eyes with Antutu scores.
To manually Delete the Tweaks
1. Delete all the files mentioned above from your phone using Root Explorer (or any file manager like ES explorer)
2. You can leave the files added in /system/xbin/ as it may help you in the future... 'just a suggestion but you can delete it if you want.
FAQs
Q: Not working. How can I tell the scripts were actually working?
A: Check the logs stored in /data/Tweaks/logs and inspect if there are log files. And with the use of any text editor check one by one the log files for any errors.
Q: There are no files in /data/Tweaks/logs, what happened?
A: It is possible that your ROM does not have init.d support. You can try using [email protected]'s fix for that (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1933849). Then you can try using again the tweak
Q: After flashing the tweaks, I cannot connect to my VPN app like Psiphon. How to fix this?
A: To be honest, I am unsure yet why but you can try either the following:
1. Check again the permission of /system/etc/hosts, /system/etc/resolv.conf and make sure they are set to rw-rw-rw. Then reboot;
2. OR, move/delete /system/etc/init.d/11_Network, /system/etc/hosts, /system/etc/resolv.conf then reboot
Q: My Internet connection is slow.
A: You can try adding the 3G hack from [email protected] (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42185612&postcount=100)
Q: The tweak is actually useless, it is not working. Should this be the case?
A: If I was not able to help you in any way, thanks for testing and feedback. Google is our friend.
Thank you all!
Mix n Match ALPHA 3B is now available
CHANGES 11-DEC-2014:
Please refer to the notes above. for the updates .
The INSTALLER will backup your previous tweaks and any conflicting files with Mix n Match. I have also added now an UNINSTALLER in case you are not satisfied. The UNINSTALLER will revert all the changes made before you flashed the latest tweaks.
Again... Flash at your own risk!
Thank you very much​

great job man.. :good:
what version of rio you're using?
mines s5501 and running on kitkat deodexed by edmhar, is your tweaks compatible with edmhar's deodexed stock rom?

Good, i'll write governer tweaks for hotplug and post link here, i'll make different versions for more battery and more responsiveness

Too interested in !
But I have to ask you how to uninstall if we did not use your special one, because of I have a sad experience before...

Good question, I always make sure that anything I install I create a document or uninstaller.. however, I was too busy at work and wanted to share this to my FB friends so I published it as Alpha version and wanted to get their feedback.
Give me a few minutes and I will update the doc on how to uninstall.

Hi dhampire,
I have updated the docs for you.. in the next release I will make an backup and uninstaller so that if someone does not want this tweaks they can go back from their previous set.

Good Job ser!
Next custom rom

LOL!

[Q] Logcat broken - adb works

Hello,
i got a problem with my logcat. I get no output. I tried "adb logcat" or the app "Logcat Viewer" with root.
What i have done so far:
I installed Xposed and multirom - i also uninstalled both for testing - no changes.
I tried deleting the /dev/logs/
Some infos:
Right now i'm on 4.4.4 (CM 11.0-XNPH44S)
Kernel: 3.4.104~AK.077.OPO.CM11
What can i do? I also got another OnePlus One with the same setup and it's working flawless there...
Thanks for any help

Ok i returned to stock completly - logcat worked again.
Installed Xposed - logcat worked.
Installed Multirom - logcat broken
Any Ideas?

Maybe LogCat is disabled by default in the Kernel Configuration/Setting? Which Kernel are you using?
Edit: Okay you're using the AK Kernel, try to install Synapse and UKM there should be a option to enable CatLog and then you could read it with root...

some info on my init.rc (maybe the problem is there)

Download and Flash UKM_v3.6.1.1_Special_Ed.zip from ak . hiddenbytes . org (Homepage from AK Kernel) to get Kernel Support in Synapse. Then there should be an option

Ok that kind of fixed it. I enabled "logcat" in synapse, but:
now when i reboot i get no logcat, then it takes 2-3min and i get a SuperSu notification that Synapse is granted root.
Then the whole logcat pops in. Why is that?
Isn't there a kernel (stock or stable) that supports multirom without fiddling around with such important things like logcat?

[GUIDE][TUT] Learn basic scripting, how to execute scripts, mod building

Hello guys, I want to share my expirience with users who wants to learn basic scripting stuff, busybox commands, how to use them, how to execute them, how to make .sh files.
Ok, let's start!!! ​
First we must to learn what is busybox. BusyBox is software that provides several stripped-down Unix tools in a single executable file. It runs in a variety of POSIX environments such as Linux, Android.
Busybox allows you or programs to perform actions on your phone using Linux (copied from Unix) commands. Android is basically a specialized Linux OS with a Java compatible (Dalvik) machine for running programs. The Android kernel is a modified version of the Linux kernel (that is why the Android kernel must always be open source). Busybox gives functionality to your phone that it does not have without it. Many programs, especially root programs such as Titanium Backup, require busybox to perform the functions of the program. Without busybox installed your phone is much more limited in what it can do.

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Here is some info about busybox, you can track here release dates, you can download sources...
http://spblinux.de/2.0/doc/commands.html
Also here is busybox installer for our "linux devices" heheh ^~^ by stericson. You have two versions of it as you see paid and free.
Chose paid if you want to donate him for awesome job.
Free:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox
Paid(PRO):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox.donate
After that you need Terminal app, you can download it from playstore too.
Link: Download it from here
This app emulates Linux terminal, with it you can access to android shell.
Lets's start with learning basic terminal stuff
The most of shell commands doesn't need root access, but some of them are need it.
To give root access to the terminal app, you need to type next.
Code:
su [I](press enter)[/I]
After pressing enter, another window will popup to grant root access. Tap on GRANT
***When you typing something into the terminal window, take care because EVERYTHING IS CASE SENSITIVE.***
We all know there are three permissions per group on a file read,write,execute or rwx.
To set permissions as rw-r--r-- we use chmod 644 or 0644 but most don't know why ? Here's why
Read or r has a positional weight of 4, Write or w has 2 and Execute or x has 1. Add them up for each group and you'll get the chmod number to use. For above example, the numbers will be (4+2)(4)(4) i.e. 644 or if you want four digits, use 0644 and that's pretty much it. It comes in very handy if you're learning shell scripting because Linux revolves around permissions. (Thanks to @MSF Jarvis)
Let's go trough basic shell commands. ​
If you interested about all commands, you can check them HERE.
cat [file destination] - use this command to print everything from a file to the terminal window
Example:
Open terminal window, and type next:
Code:
busybox cat /proc/meminfo [I](press enter)[/I]
You will get output after pressing enter
Now, you can see here, if you open any file manager and go to destination which was given for example "/proc/meminfo"
You will see next file and stuff inside it
Heheh, is it same?? ^~^ for sure that it is, you can use it for any file on your device which have text in it.
Let's go to the next basic command ^~^
echo - this command can be used for printing arguments to stdout. Also you can use it for adding text in already existing file which we need here, because we are learning scripting stuff, right? ^~^
Example:
Open terminal window, and type next:
Code:
busybox echo "Scripting is awesome" > /sdcard/test [I](press enter)[/I]
Ok, let's explain this.
First you added a command echo to add something in existing file, then between "..." we need to put arguments, for our case this is "Scripting is awesome" next we see symbol " > " which will forward arguments to next added direction, in our case this is "/sdcard/test".
First we need to have a existing file (IMPORTANT)
After we agreed with that we have a file
Open terminal as I already explained and after pressing enter you will get output on the terminal window.
That is a file from our /sdcard/
Don't delete this file, we will use it later with " sh" command.
Let's go to the next basic command
clear - Use this comand to clear whole terminal window.
Example:
You have a terminal window which have a lot of stuff on it, for example stuff from previous lines, text, etc.
You can simply make it blank with just one command
Code:
busybox clear [I](then press enter)[/I]
And voila, terminal window is blank
touch [file destination] - Use this command to create a blank file on any destination on your android device.
Example:
Open terminal window, and type next:
Code:
busybox touch /sdcard/scripting_007 [I](press enter)[/I]
This will create file called "scripting_007" on "/sdcard/" in this case, you can put any.
As you can see file "scripting_007" exist on /sdcard/
mkdir [file destination] - Use this command to create one empty folder on any destination on your android device.
Example:
Open terminal window, and type next:
Code:
busybox mkdir /sdcard/development [I](press enter)[/I]
This will create folder called "development" on "/sdcard/" in this case, you can put any.
sh [path of a file] - Use this command to execute basic script
Example:
Open terminal window, and type next:
Code:
sh /sdcard/test [I](press enter)[/I]
This will execute file which you make before with "echo" command
sleep [time in secs] - Use this command to make an offset between executing lines inside script.
Example:
Open terminal window, and type next:
Code:
busybox echo "Scripting is"
busybox sleep 10
busybox echo "awesome"
This is a combination of two commands as you can see, echo and sleep.
After launching this simple script in terminal window you will get first "Scripting is" and after 10 secs you will get awesome.
rm [ -f (file) -rf (folder)] - this is a command for removing files (-f) and folders (-rf)
Example:
Create a file called "android" on sdcard, then open terminal window, and type next:
Code:
busybox rm -f /sdcard/android
This simple code will remove a file called android from sdcard.
Now do the same thing with a folder, create one with the name "android" and run terminal emulator
Code:
busybox rm -rf /sdcard/android
This will remove folder called android from your sdcard.
Now, let's go with some advanced stuff​
You need any text editor, I suggesting this one
Link: Download from here
Now, open the app and write a new file and give it a name "test1"
Inside a file write next text:
Code:
busybox echo "Android"
busybox sleep 2
busybox echo "is"
busybox sleep 2
busybox echo "Awesome"
Save the file and copy it to some location, i suggest /sdcard/.
Open up terminal emulator and type next
Code:
sh /sdcard/test1 [I](press enter)[/I]
This thing will execute your script with the name test1 from /sdcard/.
Output will be "Android", then after two seconds will appear "is" and then after two more seconds "Awesome" will appear. THATS IT!!! You learned how to make a file (script) and how to execute it with terminal emulator.
Now do the same thing make a file with the name "test2" and make another file with a name "print"
First open "test1" and write next:
Code:
busybox echo "After 5 seconds"
busybox sleep 1
busybox echo "You will get a suprice"
busybox sleep 2
busybox clear
busybox echo "1"
busybox sleep 1
busybox clear
busubox echo "2"
busybox sleep 1
busybox clear
busybox echo "3"
busybox sleep 1
busybox clear
busybox echo "4"
busybox sleep 1
busybox clear
busybox echo "5"
busybox sleep 1
busybox clear
sh /sdcard/print
I think that you already know whats happened here
You have print, then you have sleep to make offset, and after that you have clear command to make window blank
Now open file with the name "print"
Inside it write next:
Code:
busybox echo "Voila, suprise"
Save this file, and open terminal emulator, and write next:
Code:
sh /sdcard/test2
And magic happens
In this example you learned how to execute second file with first, I think that it's not difficult for you
In this example we will play a bit with colors outputs
Codes for colors are below
Code:
busybox echo -e " 1. Black \e[0;100m \e[00;37;40m"
busybox echo -e " 2. Red \e[0;101m \e[00;37;40m"
busybox echo -e " 3. Green \e[0;102m \e[00;37;40m"
busybox echo -e " 4. Yellow \e[0;103m \e[00;37;40m"
busybox echo -e " 5. Blue \e[0;104m \e[00;37;40m"
busybox echo -e " 6. Purple \e[0;105m \e[00;37;40m"
busybox echo -e " 7. Cyan \e[0;106m \e[00;37;40m"
busybox echo -e " 8. White \e[0;107m \e[00;37;40m"
Try to copy this into terminal window and see what will happened or try whing which you learned before with the executing files. Copy whole code to a file and execute it with "sh" command. USE YOUR KNOWLEDGE.
Here you can see all things based on bash script coloring
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Color_Bash_Prompt
or
http://misc.flogisoft.com/bash/tip_colors_and_formatting
Here you can see all codes and it's nice descirbed.
Now, let's start
Make a file with the name "test3" open it and write or copy next code inside:
Code:
busybox echo " .... "
busybox echo " / / "
busybox echo " / / "
busybox echo " / / "
busybox echo " / /_._._. "
busybox echo -e " /_._._._._./ \e[00;41m SPEED MOD \e[00;37;40m v3.0"
busybox echo "*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*"
busybox echo -e "\e[01;32m Feel smoothness \e[00;37m"
busybox echo " "
As you can see this part was taken from mine L Speed performance/battery mod
Save the file, open terminal and type inside
Code:
sh /sdcard/test3
And you will get the same screen like in first L Speed menu.
Let's play a bit with this
You see the code
Code:
\e[00;41m SPEED MOD \e[00;37;40m v3.0
Just change one number instead of 41 write 42 and you will get green color, then give a try to other nubers. Every number is another color for example:
Code:

On the next phase we will learn how to use variables, in bash scripts this is simple, just add a simple "tag" then what you want to connext wit this tag.
Here is an example:
Code:
file=/sdcard/test4
busybox touch $file
Ok, here is one simple thing, this is same like in touch command explaining, but there is a little difference. We added variable or you can call it shortcut if it's easier for you.
To call variable somewhere in a file you need to use a dollar sign "$" then name of your variable. Let's to next examole with variables.
As we now have file called test4 on our SD, we can go trough.
Code:
file=/sdcard/test4
busybox echo "hey file" > $file
As you can see everything is repeating from previous examples just with variable. This is much easier, and you will save a bit of time.
Now we can see what is inside file Open terminal emulator and type next
Code:
busybox cat /sdcard/test4
And you will get output "hey file"
Simple isn't it?
In this part we will learn how to use if, elif, else It's pretty simple, let's start.
Pattern for this will be:
Code:
if [what]; then
do something
fi
if [what]; then
do something
elif [what if not "if"]
do something
else
what to do else
fi
Ok what we have here?
The first part of code show us simple code which mean if for example something is true then do something and then close if with fi.
Second part of code is a bit "complicated". If somethig is true then do something, then we have elif, in case that if is false then it will do what is under elif. In case that both of them are false, everything what is under else will be executed.
Ok here is an example:
Code:
if [ -e /sdcard/test5 ]; then
busybox echo "hello" > /sdcard/test5
else
busybox touch /sdcard/test5
busybox echo "hello" > /sdcard/test5
fi
Ok, if file test 5 exists add hello to it, else(if not) then create a file and add text hello in it.
Another example with a bit of complications heheh
Code:
if [ -e /sdcard/test5 ]; then
busybox echo "file 5 exists"
elif [ -e /sdcard/test6 ]; then
busybox echo "file 6 exists"
else
busybox echo "files are not exist"
fi
Ok, here is explanation, if test5 exist then print "file 5 exists" going to the next line, if file test6 exist pri t "file 6 exists" and else if both of them doesn't exist print "files are not exist".

Everyone who knows a bit of the performance/battery mods wants sometime to learn what is inside and how it's working
Here is a guide by @Paget96 (me) ^~^
As we know for every mod we need root, this is needed because we must to access to android shell.
init.d support, that is a folder which launch files from it on every boot. Init.d is included on some ROM's by default, but on some you need yo enable it by default(I will explain later how).
Next thing what you need is for sure busybox. And a little bit of free space on the /system partition.
Everyone knows how to root, I don't need to explain how to do that right?
User who doesn't have init.d will make it with next steps.
1. Flash superSU by @Chainfire (IMPORTANT)
2. In /system/etc/ make a file with the name "install-recovery-2.sh and push next code in it
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
/system/bin/sysinit
3. Inside system/bin make a file with the name " sysinit" and push next code in it
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
busybox sleep 30
export PATH=/sbin:/system/sbin:/system/bin:/system/xbin
run-parts /system/etc/init.d
4. Open /system/etc and make folder with the name "init.d"
Now you need to set permissions for all of this files.
Open terminal emulator and do next:
Code:
su
This will give root access
Code:
busybox chmod 755 /system/etc/install-recovery-2.sh
busybox chown 0.2000 /system/etc/install-recovery-2.sh
With this you will set "executable" permissions.
And we need permission for sysinit
Code:
busybox chmod 755 /system/bin/sysinit
busybox chown 0.2000 /system/bin/sysinit
And that's it
To install busybox use app "busybox installer" by stericson from playstore.
***IMPORTANT*** Don't change too much things, because you will get crap in your hands
Tools which are needed is
Text editor, I suggest Turbo Editor
Terminal emulator
ES file explorer
Ok, let's start
We will start with virtual memory tweaking...
Open file manager and create one folder where you will build a mod.
Inside it we will create one file for beginning and call it "00sysmod"
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
busybox chmod 644 /proc/sys/vm/*
busybox sysctl -e -w vm.dirty_background_ratio=3
busybox sysctl -e -w vm.dirty_ratio=15
busybox sysctl -e -w vm.swappiness=40
busybox sysctl -e -w vm.dirty_expire_centisecs=500
busybox sysctl -e -w vm.dirty_writeback_centisecs=3000
busybox sysctl -e -w vm.min_free_kbytes=4096
busybox sysctl -e -w vm.overcommit_memory=1
busybox sysctl -e -w vm.overcommit_ratio=75
busybox sysctl -e -w vm.page-cluster=0
busybox sysctl -e -w vm.panic_on_oom=0
Copy this inside file, save it and copy to init.d folder
After that set permissions to 755
Code:
busybox chmod 755 /system/etc/init.d/00sysmod
Let's explain every line:
First line is a header of every script.
Next line will change permissions (in this case read, write, read, read) of a files which are inside /proc/sys/vm/*. * means every file.
Everything below it are vm parameters.
vm.dirty_background_ratio
Contains, as a percentage of total available memory that contains free pages
and reclaimable pages, the number of pages at which the background kernel
flusher threads will start writing out dirty data.
The total avaiable memory is not equal to total system memory.
dirty_ratio
Contains, as a percentage of total available memory that contains free pages
and reclaimable pages, the number of pages at which a process which is
generating disk writes will itself start writing out dirty data.
The total avaiable memory is not equal to total system memory.
swappiness
This control is used to define how aggressive the kernel will swap
memory pages. Higher values will increase agressiveness, lower values
decrease the amount of swap. A value of 0 instructs the kernel not to
initiate swap until the amount of free and file-backed pages is less
than the high water mark in a zone.
The default value is 60.
dirty_expire_centisecs
This tunable is used to define when dirty data is old enough to be eligible
for writeout by the kernel flusher threads. It is expressed in 100'ths
of a second. Data which has been dirty in-memory for longer than this
interval will be written out next time a flusher thread wakes up.
dirty_writeback_centisecs
The kernel flusher threads will periodically wake up and write `old' data
out to disk. This tunable expresses the interval between those wakeups, in
100'ths of a second.
Setting this to zero disables periodic writeback altogether.
min_free_kbytes
This is used to force the Linux VM to keep a minimum number
of kilobytes free. The VM uses this number to compute a
watermark[WMARK_MIN] value for each lowmem zone in the system.
Each lowmem zone gets a number of reserved free pages based
proportionally on its size.
Some minimal amount of memory is needed to satisfy PF_MEMALLOC
allocations; if you set this to lower than 1024KB, your system will
become subtly broken, and prone to deadlock under high loads.
Setting this too high will OOM your machine instantly.
overcommit_memory
This value contains a flag that enables memory overcommitment.
When this flag is 0, the kernel attempts to estimate the amount
of free memory left when userspace requests more memory.
When this flag is 1, the kernel pretends there is always enough
memory until it actually runs out.
When this flag is 2, the kernel uses a "never overcommit"
policy that attempts to prevent any overcommit of memory.
Note that user_reserve_kbytes affects this policy.
DON'T CHANGE THIS VALUE, YOU WILL GET CRAP IN A HANDS, THIS IS JUST FOR INFO
overcommit_ratio
With this parameter you will set how much space will allocations use in physical RAM. (Percentage)
page-cluster
page-cluster controls the number of pages up to which consecutive pages
are read in from swap in a single attempt. This is the swap counterpart
to page cache readahead.
The mentioned consecutivity is not in terms of virtual/physical addresses,
but consecutive on swap space - that means they were swapped out together.
It is a logarithmic value - setting it to zero means "1 page", setting
it to 1 means "2 pages", setting it to 2 means "4 pages", etc.
Zero disables swap readahead completely.
panic_on_oom
This enables or disables panic on out-of-memory feature.
If this is set to 0, the kernel will kill some rogue process,
called oom_killer. Usually, oom_killer can kill rogue processes and
system will survive.
If this is set to 1, the kernel panics when out-of-memory happens.
If this is set to 2, the kernel panics compulsorily even on the
above-mentioned. Even oom happens under memory cgroup, the whole
system panics
In this part we will tweak kernel parameters
Open file manager as before and create a file with the name " 00kerneltweak"
Here we will use if statement, just for a little practise ^~^
Code:
if [ -e /proc/sys/kernel/shmmni ]; then
busybox echo "2048" > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmni
fi
if [ -e /proc/sys/kernel/shmall ]; then
busybox echo "1572864" > /proc/sys/kernel/shmall
fi
if [ -e /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax ]; then
busybox echo "33554432" > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
fi
if [ -e /proc/sys/kernel/msgmni ]; then
busybox echo "512" > /proc/sys/kernel/msgmni
fi
if [ -e /proc/sys/kernel/msgmnb ]; then
busybox echo "16384" > /proc/sys/kernel/msgmnb
fi
if [ -e /proc/sys/kernel/msgmax ]; then
busybox echo "8192" > /proc/sys/kernel/msgmax
fi
Copy this inside file, save it and copy to init.d folder
After that set permissions to 755
Code:
busybox chmod 755 /system/etc/init.d/00kerneltweak
Same as we learned before if file exist then do next
Let's explain this parameters:
shmall
The total amount of shared memory (in pages) which can be allocated on the system
shmmax
The maximum size of a shared memory segment (in pages)
shmmni
The maximum number of shared memory segments available on the system
msgmni
The number of IPC message queue resources allowed (by default, 16).
msgmnb
Defines the maximum size in bytes of a single message queue. The default value is 65536 bytes.
msgmax
The maxim...

Remove Google Play Services data
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
mount -o remount,rw /data
busybox mount -o remount,rw /data
GSM=/data/data/com.google.android.gms
for i in $GSM
do
busybox rm -rf $i/*
done
make a file, and add this inside, like before
copy to /system/etc/init.d
set permissions to 755
Clear browser data
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
mount -o remount,rw /data
busybox mount -o remount,rw /data
browser=/data/data/com.android.NAME_OF_THE_BROWSER
for i in $browser
do
busybox rm -rf $i/*
done
make a file, and add this inside, like before
copy to /system/etc/init.d
set permissions to 755
first write a name of the browser, some devices have chrome as a default, then name will be
com.android.chrome
I'm sure that its
com.android.browser for default one
Check that inside /data/data, then just change inside the script
Or you can use this package
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
while true; do
mount -o remount,rw /data
busybox mount -o remount,rw /data
busybox echo -n "Enter a name of the browser: "
busybox read -r name
brw=/data/data/com.android.$name
if [ -d $brw ]; then
for i in $brw
do
busybox rm -rf $i/*
done
busybox echo "Clearing done"
busybox sleep 2
else
busybox echo "Browser doesn't exist, please type another one..."
busybox sleep 3
fi
done
Well, this for this file guide is different,
Call the file "ccleaner" copy it to /system/bin
Set permissions to 755 like before
Open terminal emulator
Code:
su
ccleaner

Borked means I changed my recovery and flashed a GB ROM instead of using my friends custom built CM 11 build. My trusty Tahr system also broke down, but I am resilient so I'll manage and you WILL see the screenshots before 5PM IST.[emoji16] [emoji16] [emoji16] [emoji6] [emoji6] [emoji6] [emoji6]
