*/Haters gonna hate/*
ROM currently "DISCONTINUED". But, the init.rc tweak remains :fingers-crossed:
Hi to all those who are reading this! Lemme answer a few questions before I get started.
First of all, What kinda name is this???
TBH, I haven't yet thinked of a name for this... So, I just named it Stock ROM MOD
And, the name has been thought of! The name is... CyanicSense! Why this name? More details later
What does this do?
Though this is gonna be as stock as possible, the major feature that I had planned out for this is reversed-mount. As you might know, stock ROMs definitely do have mounts2sd (which might give some trouble in setting up), but, complete reversed-mount (i.e. the /sd-ext partition mounted as the /data partition as the int2ext script does, hasn't been achieved yet (on stock ROM). So, practically, this does that stuff.
How is this even possible?
Believe me. This ain’t no magic. Simple init.rc tweak… Mounting the mtdblk0p2 partition, which is basically the sd-ext partition as we better know it, in the /data folder does the trick. In CyanogenMod, this is done via the famous int2ext script…This is a more or less similar command, done during startup. Just make some changes to init.rc, and Voila!!! Your sd-ext is mounted in the /data partition.
So, why make a new thread for this???
Erm, but that ain’t the end of story here. I am planning on some more features. Current features are minimal, reversed-mount, and updated apps. Yep. Updated apps, not one but all of them. I can assure you that you will have every single update including Google Play Store v4.0.xx in this ROM. Also, applications which were basically “stub’s” have also been updated, so that you wouldn’t have to download any more apps. P.S. I have added a small file explorer, named “Explorer”, by Speed Software, the same people who brought about “Root Explorer”. Planning to replace it with OI File Manager in next build, if people prefer it
So, those were the two features of this ROM. Also, I am planning to work on some other features, which mainly include, init.d script support, and, removing bloatware. Currently, there are around 10 apps which I don’t use, and presume that most other users wouldn’t be using it either. So, I am gonna either make them uninstallable, or remove them completely, so that one can get more /system space More features might come up too. You can request new features, but… be reasonable
Is it safe???
I can’t answer that question, but, I am guessing the answer is yes. Why I think so??? Because I am using this as my daily driver for the past few days. Also, “reverse-mount” via scripts like int2ext, and mounts2sd do the same thing, so, I don’t think its gonna create problems
Will it make my phone laggy?
Not sure. Works fine in my Class 4, 8 GB memory card. Anything Class 4 and above, I assure you it wouldn’t “visibly” lag.
What about gaming?
Well, this is the part where you come in. I don’t use my phone for gaming, so, I can’t be sure whether Temple Run 2 is lagging, or its I who can’t play it properly But, one fact can be sure that Stock ROM isn’t always the best choice for gaming.
Anything else left?
Yeah… This build is… kinda heavy. 160+ MB is definitely too big for the “stock” ROM. It is because of all the updated apps which were included. I will try to make subsequent builds lighter, and more bloatware free
Now that Q&A Section is over, let’s get back to business. The simple init.rc tweak is explained in the next post.
Instructions:
Pretty basic. Wipe everything, except SD-Card, and flash the ROM.
The following video might give you a slight idea

Here is the link… 162 MB approx. Why so big? You are the typical TLDR case. Read the Q&A section above.
Beta Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41966646&postcount=19
Any issues, please post in this thread. I will try to fix it, ASAP
init.rc tweak that I used:
First of all, get a stock boot.img, and boot_img tools from here: https://github.com/sakindia123/boot-image-tools
Unpack it to some location safe, and, copy-paste the boot.img into this folder.
Then, run the following commands:
Code:
mkdir -p unpack
Code:
./unpackbootimg -i ./boot.img -o unpack
Code:
mkdir -p boot
Code:
cd boot
Code:
gzip -dc ../unpack/boot.img-ramdisk.gz | cpio -i
Code:
cd ../
Thus, you will have the ramdisk of your boot.img in the "boot" folder. Open up that folder, and open "init.rc" with any of your favourite editor.
Now, search for this line:
Code:
mount yaffs2 [email protected] /data
Replace that line with this:
Code:
mount ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /data nosuid nodev noatime nodiratime barrier=0 data=ordered commit=15 noauto_da_alloc nouser_xattr errors=continue
Now, I know you are confused... I too was, at first. So, let me make things clearer for you...
This is basically a mount command, which is executed in this order
mount [type of partition] [partition] [mount directory] [options]
So, the partition type is ext3, to be made more compatible with most devices.
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 is the sd-ext partition.
/data is the folder we are going to mount the partition in.
nosuid and nodev: Allow an ordinary (i.e., non-root) user to mount the filesystem if one of his groups matches the group of the device.
noatime and nodiratime: Access timestamps are not updated when a file is read. So, there is no writing on the partition everytime the disk is read.
barrier=0
This enables/disables barriers. barrier=0 disables it, barrier=1 enables it. Write barriers enforce proper on-disk ordering of journal commits, making volatile disk write caches safe to use, at some performance penalty. The ext3 filesystem enables write barriers by default. Be sure to enable barriers unless your disks are battery-backed one way or another. Otherwise you risk filesystem corruption in case of power failure.
data=ordered
Specifies the journalling mode for file data. Metadata is always journaled.
commit=15
Sync all data and metadata every 15 seconds.
noauto_da_alloc
does give a slight performance increase, especially when working with databases..
nouser_xattr
Support "user." extended attributes (or not).
errors=continue
Define the behaviour when an error is encountered.

Nice work bro.
For I understand it, is a stock ROM with memory script by you only, yes?
Sorry my english lvl xDDD....
Good job
Edit: well.. must say brother you did good work..
Rom is purely stock with only this tiny mod..
No bugs till now
This ain't no memory script.
TBH, I haven't even enabled init.d support yet. This is solely related to boot.img's init.rc... Which initiates reverse mount when you start your phone.
Nice tut. One thing that the rom is 1.43.xx based, right?

Yes.

Stock ROM, version: 1.43.720.2
Brother.. here's a big problem..
The data folder of the Rom is now empty and all the app's apk files and app data installed can't be accessed using the root explorer..
And it is no where.. o can't find them..
Did you make a link to the data folder while mounting the ext partition to data..??
Sent from noob machines
I recommend using another application.
P.s. you will find it in the data folder only. It won't be in the sd-ext folder.
P.s. sorry for the short reply. I ain't at home currently
Sent from my HTC Explorer A310e using xda app-developers app
I used solid explorer..
I got them.. but on es file explorer.. the folder is still empty..
And also there is no sd-ext folder in root... Because you didn't make one..
Sent from noob machines
Did you enable Root Explorer or so...
AFAIK, even in the latest update, root exploration should be first enabled.
Press menu key, and in tools option, there will be the "root explorer" option, or a similar option.
Enable that, and then, you will be able to browse the data partition.
P.S.: if you don't get a superuser request, it will not work.
OK got it...
Thanks brother...
I got my mistake... it works now..:good:

Need help for NextGEN, Xenon, Ateeq, and Explode, and any other sense based ROM that I missed :silly:
I need some info about these ROMs, preferably in the following format:
init.d support: yes/no
mounts2sd used?
If yes, application included or not?
Post this information along with boot.img of those ROMs
Not a stable internet, so, can't possibly download all those files.

I have a question, is all that you changed the init.rc and mount file?
how about make it so we can install themes.. some people posted we need to install diff jf light to install themes
So all this has is the modified mount.conf and init.rc?
It doesn't do the symbolic links?
cant we just do..
install default jf 41 51 or whatever comes next and do..
after instalation boot into recovery go into terminal.. have modded init and mountd on sdcard and do
cp -- copy files from sd to the phone??? and it should work?? or will it not
It works... Lol.
It's in the apps to sd thread.
But this is better nonethless.

yes .. and added the /system/sd folder .. might seem silly but it saves the headache of updating and losing the connection to the MicroSD

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
yes .. this is assuming you already have the links set .. prevents you from needing to remount the EXT2 partition and/or wipe the phone (which eliminates the links) .. i've thought about creating an update to include the links .. but then you might not know who has what link .. right now i only have the apps on the MicroSD .. if i set an update to include a /data/data link then my /data/data would be deleted .. if i hadn't copied it to the card already it'd screw up the phone
not too mention .. adding the links after rooting is pretty simple
Might have to give this a try, once i partition my sdcard, workin with windows xp only... Might try it with my 4gig card as far as partitioning goes to see if i do it right, then put it on my 8 gig card.

As a tip - Just use the Ubuntu LIVE CD (download link is in that other thread, or just Google it) to partition it (just don't delete the host systems partition). Worked like a charm for me, first time.
thanks lucid. works with no issues!
HOLD ON HOLD ON. Excuse me Lucid!! My man. This
May be a dumb question but is this an actual RC33 firmware in its
Entirty or just some modified files Cuz it looks like its the whole RC33
With the modified files donr for us.
My Point:
If this is true why the hell is this not at the top of the forum. I mean
Are U serious. People have been begging for this **** none stop &
LUCID does it & nodody is downloading & posting. I'm bout to really
Post this link all over google & the market cuz this is just riduculous.
People be trippin sometimes. They probobly don't really even
Understand what this is.
Everything is done for U. All u have to do is Partion the SD Card & be
On your way. The only COMMANDS u have to type is a couple small
Commands in Terminal to app private to SD & your good to go.
Nothin to learn. Nothin to complicted. This is for all Dummies & Newbiee.
LucidREM is was gonna do this but u beat me to it. This is genis. Soon everybody
Will have the abilty to not only store 20-30 apps on there phone. U can have 130 apps on your phone. Ill keep postinging cool features of RC33 on this post until this is at the very
Tippy top of the forum. I never post anything from my G1 but I had to sign in for the first
Time on my android browser & voice my opion forreal.
I'm bout to meditate & drift slowly into a REM state. Just to forget about this non
Sense LOL
P.S. Maybe the title of this post didn't tantalize the noobies enough for them to
Read on & fully understand that Running Apps On The SD is basically done for
Them on this post.
It should come with a shell script that creates the dynamic links; then it'd be truly n00b-friendly.
i got a buuf theme installed, should i remove that first ?
has anyone with a theme tried this ?
I agree creating some type of script file (.sh) or script app that would automtically switch the cmds and move the app-private automatically to the SD card would be amazing. Then a Noobie would be set free of google limitations.

yea .. i'm working on things here for the "noobs" but my 9-5 keeps me pretty busy .. i haven't even taken JFv1.42 yet .. probably get to that one when i get home tonight .. i'll have to find out about the script stuff .. my focus right now is mostly to keep people who already have apps on the SD from having to "reinvent the wheel" as it were .. this just keeps everything going smooth

now for those who are willing to test it .. i'm going to attempt creating the script for which people are asking .. if i can put my brain to paper (so to speak) it will be self-contained and will allow multiple commands etc .. you'll be able to do and undo and choose which sections you want to move .. now i know this is possible in linux so i'm only guessing at the possibilities in the android sector
wouldn't that be neat? something along the lines of:
#move app sd
#move data sd
#move cache sd
#move app g1
#move data g1
#move cache g1
well .. seems a bit hokie in my brain .. but might be do-able .. it'll take time but i'll see what i can do with it .. if i can create what i'm thinking i'll include it with JFs build
I have working on a project in the form of an app, which guides you through the installation of Ubuntu within android via chroot. It includes a ubuntu 10.10 image I have been working on which includes lots of program to allow users to develop program/scripts etc within Ubuntu on there phone/tablet.
However I have I have yet to get much testing on this device and would like more feedback from users!
Please post your device/kernel/rom along with what did and didn't work, so I can draw up what I need to change in the next release of the app/ubuntu build.

This image is just under 500MB to download, once extracted 2.5GB, and include only programs needed (LXDE desktop, web browser, + other basic programs) also allows you to define screen size on boot
ubuntuV5-sm-image.zip
12.04 images
I have now started work on building new 12.04 images these come in core (just the bear-bones ubuntu) and full (ubuntu with GUI and other programs) and will be updated as 12.04 moves through its milestones (and when I make new updates to the mods I make from the main stream arm port).
These are for testing ONLY until 12.04 reaches stable release.
You can view the images here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxonandroid/files/Ubuntu/12.04/
I also want to build up a small group of testers who I can email with new images and scripts, these will include all future distros that I do. If you are interested in joining this test group please PM me or send a email to [email protected]
The only requirement is that your willing to test and send feedback along with screen shoots etc where required, it would also be good if your willing to try different roms and kernels for your device!

RocketRom V10 (14Toggle, smoothnessupdate, addperformance, stock theme)
Note freezes after executing ubuntu.sh, only restarting by holding powerbutton helps...
It's a pity, I thought booting ubuntu is only possible on a Rom with loop devices capabilities and now I read that only the stock rom is working

Indeed its VERY odd that stock works but custom roms do not work...should really be the other way round, perhaps something to do with how the device file system in custom roms is different or something?
I don't know, this is the problem trying to support as many devices as possible, I don't have the device to test and work out what's wrong, just got to keep basically stabbing into the dark until I hit something
Change log for new release (release will be in the next few days for paid end of next week for free) - all new images etc will be added to the first post as they are finished and uploaded!
*PAID app now supports 960x540 'qHD' resolution
*ALL Ubuntu lightweight images cleaned up even more saved another 300MB of space
*ALL Ubuntu images updated with all new updates
*ALL Ubuntu images now in .zip format to fix problems with some peoples devices failing to extract the .rar files
*Boot script updated, once booted now terminal acts like a command line interface for Ubuntu, and some boot problems now fixed
*Image and boot script now downloadable separately to allow easy updating of the script
*+more likely before release

Yep, I was really enjoying - had PHP and mysql installed and working as a wee test environment, then flashed FM and no more Ubuntu.
Thanks for the work - appreciated

Place them in a folder called ubuntu on either your sdcard or internal memory as you have both either should work
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
Thanks, by pressing ahead without knowing I put the files there, however, in terminal emulator, after aquiring superuser persmissions, changing to the ubuntu folder wont work. I must be doing something wrong. I came as far as cd /sdcard but /sdcard/ubuntu fails. Asking ls -a says dir is empty ? Linux noob

check in a file explorer where the sdcard is mounted, sometimes the internal memory is mounted as the sdcard directory and then the sdcard itself is mounted in another directory within that.
Once you work out where its mounted then just cd to that location

which Kernel/Rom?
Hi
Before run ubuntu.sh check if loop inst bussy with other kind of programs who use it.
try losetup will show you how many loop you have used and edit ubuntu.sh to get 1 free
like last 1 user will be 10 then line with busybox mknod /dev/loop11 b 7 11
and wher you see loop0 change to loop11 or any free number.
Hope will works for you.

Hi,
Nice work but you forgot something.
Your image wont work on many device since the /sdcard partition if VFAT who limit the file to 2G.
converting /sdcard to ext2 or ext4 is the way to work with files larger than 2G.

Thank you very much I will integrate these changes in the next version of the script
you can also change de fstab line where root partition is mount by uuid and replace by name
losetup returns nothing...
I also asked the dev of FM kernel and he told me that it has loop capabilities
if losetup show nothing then or you dont have loop set or you not root.
for see if you r root type id and the have to show your id. If is not root type su -
For the no loop set then the original ubuntu.sh have to work.
Runs perfectly on my Note
Had rooted it yesterday with CFRootFlasher
Kernel is "KK9" (Android 2.3.6)
Tested the V3 800 first, and now running with the V4 1280 image
Btw I´m an Android noob, came from Ios 2 weeks ago, so i dont really know what is important for you to know. But if you want to know something, just ask

Dear all,
First of all, I do not wish to take any credit for this ROM, I am just sharing it for the community as I do think it is a very nice addition to the collection and may help and progress development for other ROMs.

Yeah, it really is. I must say that this is the best ROM so far. I do have one major issue where I cannot select an APN and therefore have no 3G / 2G connection. Needless to say, this is a huge issue which may render the ROM to be unusable for me... Let me know what you guys experience if there's still some people willing to install new ROMs on their device
Do you mean there is no way to set the APN? I'm seriously considering flashing this ROM, but this APN issue that you mentioned is holding me back...

When you make sure you create a backup you can check and always restore the backup. The APN issue might also be related to my carrier or SIM card.
Please note that I definitely had to format /data (ie. factory defaults) because it will not work with the data of another rom. Also make sure to make an extra backup of your backup onto your system, just to be sure - in my case it has created corrupt files many times (ie. 0 kb)...
Good luck!

Hi all,
I checked today and the external SD is available, but not under /mnt/external_sd but under /mnt/sdcard/external_sd. Not sure why it is in a subfolder, but see below some screenprints to demonstrate this. If anyone knows how to solve something like this, let me know
Regards,
Nika.
Well, that was easy, changed the vold.fstab and build.prop files and zipped it. Works fine when installed using cwm recovery. /mnt/external_sd is now the correct external sdcard
You can download the new version here:
http://www.multiupload.at/8WAHWX3L4S
While searching for a solution to fix my APN problem, I also changed the default language into English. APN is still an issue, so if someone knows what can cause APNs not to list in MIUI ROMs I'd love to know
Here's the download for the English version of this ROM (including the external storage fix ):

Be interesting to see if this will flash to my device, seeing as none of the other custom ROMs have ever done so...
EDIT: Well, it installed OK and runs, but like you, I have no APN's and setting them up manually doesn't seem to work. Also, a fair number of FC's, especially when trying to search networks...

I've not had any FC's - did you Factory Reset / wipe cache etc?
For APN, I'll see whether I have time to test this week. My device is getting buggier by the day, sdcard is not working anymore and has random reboots, so I may need to take it apart again. sdcard is quite a problem as that is impossible to reach without spare-parts did you see the "take device apart" device on the russian forum? quite cool

I needed internet, so for now, I've flashed back to my previous ROM. TBH, I'm not a fan of MIUI, but at least the bloody thing installed!
Oh, what I wouldn't give for ICS or better, JB, on our Smarts....
Yeah ICS would totally rock on the Smart ! too bad Vache broke his, he only needed to fix 3G on CM9. Well "only" may not be the word. Thepasto is using Vache's source to get CM9 on the Liquid MT and they weren't able to get 3G working so far.

Agree, but I must say, that MIUI build is half not as bad as I expected! It really is good, definitely better than stock (other than the APNs not working for some SIMs - note the Russians do not seem to have any issue with it)...

Anyone interested in TeamWin Recovery Project (TWRP)? I've build an initial test version:

Hi KR,
It can be done from both terminal on the phone or PC. Did you root your device? You should be doing to following when doing it on the PC (easiest):
1. Root your device, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17569226
2. With rooting you also install drivers for adb, so that's ok
3. Connect your device with USB
4. Open a Command Prompt
5. Run "adb shell" (adb.exe is also available in the files for the recovery)
5. Type the following commands:
Code:
adb shell
su
cat /proc/mounts
cat /proc/emmc
ls -lR /dev/block | busybox egrep -i "rec|sos"
After each command you can copy/paste the results. Wrap the results between CODE tags when pasting it here or use stuff like http://pastebin.com/ and return the results
Thanks!
Regards,
Nika.

Best result on Android 4.+
Description
Hey everyone,
So, I was experiencing significant lag as we all do from time to time, and decided I was going to get to the bottom of it.
After tracing and debugging for hours, I discovered the source of 90% of Android's lag. In a word, entropy (or lack thereof).
Google's JVM, like Sun's, reads from /dev/random. For all random data. Yes, the /dev/random that uses a very limited entropy pool.
Random data is used for all kinds of stuff.. UUID generation, session keys, SSL.. when we run out of entropy, the process blocks. That manifests itself as lag. The process cannot continue until the kernel generates more high quality random data.
So, I cross-compiled rngd, and used it to feed /dev/urandom into /dev/random at 1 second intervals.
Result? I have never used an Android device this fast.
It is literally five times faster in many cases. Chrome, maps, and other heavy applications load in about 1/2 a second, and map tiles populate as fast as I can scroll. Task switching is instantaneous. You know how sometimes when you hit the home button, it takes 5-10 seconds for the home screen to repopulate? Yeah. Blocking on read of /dev/random. Problem solved. But don't take my word for it .. give it a shot!
Update!
I've built a very simple Android app that bundles the binary, and starts/stops the service (on boot if selected). I'll be adding more instrumentation, but for now, give it a shot! This APK does not modify /system in any way, so should be perfectly safe.
This is my first userspace Android app, so bear with me!
Note that this APK is actually compatible with all Android versions, and all (armel) devices. It's not at all specific to the Captivate Glide.

UPDATE: Seeder_v7 is out, as suggested by pepoluan, it now detects for qrngd (built in rngd for Qualcomm Snapdragon-based devices), if it is there, then it will not start as rngd may conflict with it...the rngd binary is also using the latest version (it is turned off when screen is off)...users of previous versions can just flash it over...
INSTALLING
You need init.d support for this!
Download and flash:
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390248398092764755
Here is a mirror... http://d-h.st/REX
How to use this script?:
After flashing, launch terminal emulator and type
Code:
su
seeder
You will get a menu like this:

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
NOTE: There will be NO app after flashing! This only installs the necessary binaries and scripts...
For those who cannot install via recovery:
You get a status 0 error -> replace the update-binary in Seeder_v6.zip with one from another zip that works with your device
OR
Use the new installation method!
Instructions:
1. Download Seeder_v7_non-CWM.zip from here:
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390248398092764756
2. Extract the zip, you will get a folder named "install"
3. Place the folder in the root of your sdcard (/sdcard)
4. Launch terminal emulator, type:
Code:
su
cd /sdcard/install
sh install.sh
5. Ignore any error messages (those are only warnings, only happens to current users)
6. You are done! The script will auto-delete the "install" folder as it is not required anymore...
Sample output:
UNINSTALLING:
And now for the way to clean up Seeder_7:
Via recovery:
Flash Seeder_v6&7_Uninstall.zip:
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390248398092764753
Via terminal:
1. Download Seeder_v6&7_Uninstall_non-CWM.zip:
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390248398092764145
2. Extract it to the root of your sdcard (/sdcard), you should get a file named uninstall.sh
3. Launch terminal emulator and type this:
Code:
su
cd /sdcard
sh uninstall.sh
4. You are done! Everything gets cleaned up, including uninstall.sh...

FLASH THIS ON GINGERBREAD!?!?!(v1.4.0)
Thanks to Zen Arcade for making a flash for Gingerbread! His Post Here!
I took a look at the original CWM package and made the following changes:
1 - swapped in our update-binary
2 - changed the mount command in edify script (not really needed since system is already mounted in gb voodoo CWM recovery)
3 - removed all mount commands from init.d script (not required since you have to have /system mounted just to read the script)
Here's a link to the CWM flashable: http://d-h.st/Kaq
I'm running this on both my Infuses - no problems noted. At work now so will not have a chance to try with games for a couple more hours at least. Only down side I can note is that the rngd binary is about 1MB in size - a small sacrifice if it does eliminate lag events
Note that this package is for GB, but should work fine for 4.x roms as long as /system is mounted as part of recovery startup. Can someone test on a 4.x (CWM9/10) rom by flashing the zip and then checking /system/etc/init.d for a file named 91RNGD or /system/xbin for rngd? I've already tested on GB and it works fine there.
Thanks bradman for posting this - all credit and thanks to the original devs who posted this.

I stumbled upon this myself a few days ago and have been looking into it... I can easily implement it into my source builds, but want to see how it reacts first before doing so. And btw bradman... CM10.1 is smooth as **** with nothing needed... but if this makes it even better, then thats good to hear.
Anyone tried this on 2.3.6?
im aware its smooth good job! i was just testing it on infuse and i currently had ur rom so i just gave it a try to confirm it working on infuse

that is what i am doing now! im on saurom jvu atm thanks for the quick reply ill let you know how it turns out
EDIT: i hope it works so my online game will run smoothly!
I must say, this relatively minor tweak provides a noticeable boost. I'm currently using Liquid Smooth RC9.11 with no further tweaks. After applying this tweak I've noticed faster loading times for a couple games, Google maps is much more responsive to massive view changes, web browsing is snappier, and as stated above almost no redraw delay when returning to the launcher after running a large app (like a game). I must say this under-powered and under-RAMmed little Infuse just keeps getting better and better thanks to all the work the devs here. Keep up the good work!

Can someone test on a 4.x (CWM9/10) rom by flashing the zip and then checking /system/etc/init.d for a file named 91RNGD or /system/xbin for rngd? I've already tested on GB and it works fine there.
Thanks bradman for posting this - all credit and thanks to the original devs who posted this.
UPDATE - 2012/01/03
I've confirmed the documented improvement in speed at which Maps re-tiles the map display when making big location changes. Still testing other apps. Some games appear a big less laggy, although some disruptive lag events still occur (I suspect due to file system i/o scheduler delays rather than from lack of random/entropy data as addressed with this enhancement). I'll do some benchmarking over the weekend and report back with results.

I currently cant test this but if it turns out to work ill put it on OP. i did hear from someone that the biggest difference on GB but i cant say that for y self because i have not tried yet
I gotta say, it's very smooth so far.
Works fine on Scott's CM10. PS shows the rngd process running. Thanks

I really dunno if the tweak makes that big of an effect but I did discover a nice trick to have a nice fat entropy_avail with zero overhead.
One of the first pages I skimmed was http://linux.die.net/man/4/random which mentioned at the bottom these other files:
read_wakeup_threshold contains the number of bits of entropy required for waking up processes that sleep waiting for entropy from /dev/random.
write_wakeup_threshold contains the number of bits of entropy below which we wake up processes that do a select() or poll() for write access to /dev/random.
Normally, read_wakeup_threshold is 64 and write_wakeup_threshold is 128
I also wondered why most users report that their entropy_avail was by default in the 200ish range while mine was always by default over 300.
I had also found this page at linuxinsight. I had used that site alot when researching Kick Ass Kernelizer's sysctl tweaks.
So I thought, hey I wonder if I can use sysctl to set good values and low and behold, I looked in my script and I already have settings for both lol:
Code:
busybox sysctl -e -w kernel.random.read_wakeup_threshold=128;
busybox sysctl -e -w kernel.random.write_wakeup_threshold=256;
As you can see, I had doubled the default values - and that's why my entropy_avail was always over 300.
So I decided to mess with sysctl a bit.
Connected the phone to the laptop.
In one command prompt I watched the entropy_avail with this one liner:
Code:
while :; do cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail; sleep 1;done
In a second command prompt I did the sysctl thing...
I found that write_wakeup_threshold didn't effect entropy_avail at all.
But read_wakeup_threshold is a totally different story
I did
Code:
busybox sysctl -w kernel.random.read_wakeup_threshold=2048
The entropy_avail just started climbing....
All the way up to 3600+ and just stayed there. Never went down at all.
Actually, the more I did stuff with the phone, the faster the level would climb.
So it would never go down and would never get used.
I thought well maybe I should lower it so it does get used.
I kept lowering read_wakeup_threshold until it got down to 1200 and finally entropy_avail dropped to 2400+ and kept climbing until 3600 and then would drop to 2400 immediately and up again and so on...
I played with different values.
Setting it to 1000... entropy would go up to 3000 and then drop to 2000 and up to 3000 again....
Setting to 750.... entropy would go up to 2250 and drop to 1500 and up to 2250 again...
So the pattern is:
max entropy_avail=read_wakeup_threshold * 3
min. entropy_avail=read_wakeup_threshold * 2 (ie. read_wakeup_threshold * 3 - read_wakeup_threshold)
So it builds up 3 times the read_wakeup_threshold and then when it hits that limit, it drops the value of read_wakeup_threshold.
If you want to lock it it at the highest possible value (4096), you'd do:
Code:
echo 1366 > /proc/sys/kernel/random/read_wakeup_threshold
Or
Code:
busybox sysctl -w kernel.random.read_wakeup_threshold=1366
You can add either of those to any init.d script.
However, on my device, it won't go over 3600 so you can test for yourself how high yours will go.
If all you can get is 3600ish just go with 1200 (ie. 3600/3)
In Kick Ass Kernelizer I'm gonna make it like so:
Code:
busybox sysctl -e -w kernel.random.read_wakeup_threshold=1024;
busybox sysctl -e -w kernel.random.write_wakeup_threshold=2048;
That will make it bounce between 3072 max and 2048 min.
I'm making write_wakeup_threshold twice the amount of read_wakeup_threshold simply because that's what it is by default.
But hey, maybe I can save battery life if I make it 1280 just so it stays locked in at 3600+ and it doesn't have to keep rebuilding entropy_avail lol
So conclusion is: since there is a definite pattern on how entropy was being built up to a pre-determined level and dropped to a pre-determined level, it wasn't actually being used. That's just how it's programmed.
If the setting isn't there to "hold" all the entropy, it just drops/flushes it and force feeding it entropy won't make it not spit it out
So at least I found the setting that will make it hold it in lol
Maybe somebody would like to give it a try and test to see if it actually saves battery by setting read_wakeup_threshold to 1366.

Anyone tried this?
Btw brad im on jvu saurom and flashed it fix permission but this is what i get
Tweak
This relatively minor tweak provides a noticeable boost. I'm currently using Liquid Smooth RC9.11 with no further tweaks. After applying this tweak I've noticed faster loading times for a couple games, Google maps is much more responsive to massive view changes, web browsing is snappier, and as stated above almost no redraw delay when returning to the launcher after running a large app (like a game). I must say this under-powered and under-RAMmed little Infuse just keeps getting better and better thanks to all the work the devs here. Keep up the good work!
BR
I was going to release this as a ROM, but as you may know Rox is pretty busy these days so he hasn't replied to me yet to my request for permission to fork CM11 (if you're reading this, don't feel offended and take your time!) so I chose to reward the DIYers by releasing the differences from it... and of course devs that share my view of the ideal ROM will hopefully reuse them ~
So yes, this is basically an expansion pack for CM11. After downloading the sources, just before `brunch codina` you extract the zip over them.
What does this do anyway? What's included?
The main feature is that partitions 8 and 9 (sdcard/UMS and preload/HIDDEN) are ignored. You can completely delete them and get a 3 GB /data partition for ART or whatever. Unlike swapping storages (or not swapping them!), this doesn't confuse apps written with only one media partition available.
Camera photos, your songs, OBBs and ASECs from apps that use them, archived apps, ... all go to the card you can always remove from the phone if you want to sell it or need service (keep in mind though it's not 100% sure that nothing on it never ends up on NAND), likely formatted in FAT32 with loads of multiplatform undelete tools available, easy to swallow if you feel the CIA is nearby... (do not try this at home)
There are also some other minor tweaks that I consider a core part of my Android experience, see the text file in the zip for more details or just read this box ↓
Code:
External SD only (on sdcard0) with [STRIKE]ASEC, apps2sd,[/STRIKE] OBB, camera, card hotswap, mass storage all working
/preload disabled
device/samsung/codina/overlay/frameworks/base/core/res/res/xml/storage_list.xml

device/samsung/u8500-common/common.mk
packages/apps/DeviceSettings/src/com/teamcanjica/settings/device/fragments/AdvancedFragmentActivity.java
packages/apps/DeviceSettings/res/xml/advanced_preferences.xml
BUG: Mass storage mode creates an empty drive, I suspect this can be fixed by playing with the LUN setting in u8500 boardconfig
"battery saving" profile limits clock to 800MHz
device/samsung/codina/rootdir/*
200dpi default resolution
device/samsung/codina/system.prop
Default screensaver after 2 minutes
device/samsung/u8500-common/overlay/frameworks/base/packages/SettingsProvider/res/values/defaults.xml
Browser autocomplete window size increased
packages/apps/Browser/res/values/integers.xml
So if you want to have a look you can grab it there!
Good job!
However i have two suggestions:
1. You should separate "storage" part from other tweaks... It's great that we have somebody with creativity but not everyone wants to apply all that tweaks (and even less will want to separate that tweaks from storage part (considering that potentially interested in your patch are very few in count)
2. Do you have github account? is "githubish" version of your tweaks?
I played a bit with storages in that overlay (storage list) some time ago, but no success on that time... so i'm really interested in those changes.
When i try to compile stock OC kernel - i had to repartition my long time used custom partition scheme. And then i tried to recreate it without UMS partition but it ended with "no sd card" issue (you cannot take pictures for example) after memory swap... So i need something like your patch, but i don't have time to separate it from other tweaks...

1- Just remove all the unrelated files, I listed the names for a reason (to leave maximum clock at 1 GHz, in device/samsung/codina/rootdir/init.samsungcodina.rc you can see 2 pairs of lines near the end with "scaling_max_freq" to be removed)
storage_list.xml → the highest level part, basically defines the functionality of settings/storage
fstab.samsungcodina → remove internal SD, change voldmanaged= part of external to match mount name in storage_list.xml, if you didn't rename it just change "sdcard1:auto" to "sdcard0:auto"
init.samsungcodina.rc → remove 3-line block related to internal SD, edit name and paths to fit previous configurations
u8500_common → remove swap option from build.prop
AdvancedFragmentActivity.java → remove swap feature from NovaThor Settings
advanced_preferences.java → remove swap option from NovaThor Settings
2- Nope, I don't know how to use git (or any equivalent) and if I was to add the extreme confusion of configuration files assembled from multiple places and quite illogical arrangement of stuff in the sources to a friendlier but completely different system as seen in the repos...
(and github doesn't seem to offer what I would be most interested in - highlighting differences from a previous version)

github is quite logical and well organized . Beside of this, it would be easier to manage your patch when files that you modified will be modified by @Rox or other TC member: You will have to make your patches again or accept that their changes will be overwritten by your patch...
When you click on last (or any) commit you'll see the difference in code it made, btw.
And I try to implement your changes to github code as a commit (should be easy if the sources weren't changed in the meantime).

Just checked a little better, there is a problem with ASEC creation (vold doesn't create disk images claiming something is mounted read only), cheap workaround is to use Link2SD or `pm` to force everything to install to internal storage
@judas1977 I think I found the problem, I should have confirmation in 5-6 hours
Ok, I'll wait for the info...

keeping all other changes I sent you, in fstab try changing the microSD line (sdi0[...]mmc1) so that it ends with noemulatedsd

I haven't managed to try it on last evening's Omni or CM11 as they both got stuck on bootanimation and I can't say if it's this mod or something from 4.4.3 still unpolished...
:good: :good: :good:
That did it. with "noemulatedsd", everything works fine including ASEC (and thus apps2sd)... the job is done :highfive:
So this should do the job?

Nope, noemulatedsd goes at the end (after voldmanaged=sdcard0:auto) :fingers-crossed:
Of course, that's because of that long lines

So if i install that patch, i will not see again the error "could not install on usb storage or sd card" ?
There is patch only for disabling internal sdcard or i have to apply patch with tweaks?
Thanks

You mean the bug where you swap storages but Google Play still checks the free space from the internal memory?
No problem with this method :good:

Hi!
As I see, TeamCanjica has changed the structure of the init scripts recently, so the changes you've made in "init.samsungcodina.rc" have to be applied in "u8500-common/rootdir/init.u8500.rc"
