[Q] help with my kernel.zip, doesn't install kernel modules

In my kernel installer ZIP file, I have added some modules in system/lib/modules ... however they never end up getting installed.
My updater-script is:
Code:
ui_print("");
ui_print("Flashing Kernel");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p24", "/system");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
symlink("/lib/modules", "/system/lib/modules");
set_perm(0, 0, 0644, "/system/lib/libhardware_legacy.so");
set_perm(0, 0, 0644, "/system/lib/hw/lights.msm8660.so");
set_perm(0, 2000, 0550, "/system/etc/init.qcom.post_boot.sh");
set_perm_recursive(0, 0, 0755, 0644, "/system/lib/modules");
unmount("/system");
show_progress(0.500000, 0);
assert(package_extract_file("boot.img", "/tmp/boot.img"),
write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p8"),
delete("/tmp/boot.img"));
show_progress(0.100000, 0);
ui_print("Done");
I've included my kernel zip file also so you can extract it and find the directory structure. Is it because the initramfs in boot.img overwrites this directory or something?

it appears that anything put in the root of /system or in /system/lib is not honored. If I put something in /system/etc it will get installed via the updater script

Update script permission?

I am finishing off an update script and ran into a problem trying to set the permissions on an init.d script that I am loading to the system. Here are a few things I have tried to set on "crystal_clear" without success.
set_perm_recursive(0, 0, 0777, 0777, "/system/etc/init.d");
set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/system/etc/init.d/crystal_clear");
Am I even close with this? This is my first update script. I bet i'm just missing something stupid but it's been killing me for hours and tried so many variations.
Here is everything so far. If there is something else you see here that doesn't look right please let me know.
show_progress(0.1, 0);
ui_print("Mounting System Partition");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p14", "/system");
package_extract_file("tweaks/buildprop.sh", "/tmp/buildprop.sh");
package_extract_file("tweaks/sysmount/sysrw", "/tmp/sysrw");
package_extract_file("tweaks/sysmount/sysro", "/tmp/sysro");
set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/tmp/buildprop.sh");
set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/tmp/sysrw");
set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/tmp/sysro");
ui_print("");
ui_print("Patching Build.prop");
run_program("/sbin/sh", "/tmp/sysrw");
run_program("/sbin/sh", "/tmp/buildprop.sh");
ui_print("");
ui_print("Patching adreno_config.txt, and egl.cfg");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
run_program("/sbin/sh", "/tmp/sysro");
show_progress(0.1, 10);
ui_print("");
ui_print("All tweaking processes are done");
ui_print("Adjusting framebuffer and color depth");
package_extract_file("system", "/system/etc/init.d");
set_perm(0, 0, 0777, 0777, "/etc/init.d/crystal_clear");
show_progress(0.2, 0);
unmount("/system");
ui_print("DONE");

General comments.
A simple
Code:
set_perm_recursive(0, 0, 0755, 0755, "/system/etc/init.d");
after I've extracted the all the files I've wanted to the right place has always worked fine in the CWM ZIP I keep for personal use to install BusyBox etc.

You don't need these. CWM/TWRP will mount /system rw by default and you don't really need to remount it ro in CWM.

Is "system" a directory or a file?
That said, I think you want the former - just have a system folder in the root of your ZIP mirroring where you want the files to be placed (so in your ZIP, create a "system" folder at the same level as META-INF and then have a "etc" folder inside that, then a "init.d" folder inside "etc" with your script inside "init.d").

THANK YOU!
I'm going to try a few things you said and go from there.
Here is my current hierarchy...
4xMultiSampling_Antialiasing.zip
......META-INF
..........com
.............google
................android
.....................update-binary
.....................updater-script
......system
.........etc
.............Init.d
................crystal_clear. <-----this is what would not change to 0777
......lib
........egl
..........egl.config
......tweaks
.........build.prop.sh
.........sysmount
..............sysro
..............sysrw

If that's not a typo, it needs to be init.d - ext* file systems, unlike Windows', are case-sensitive

Yes that was a typo, but I appreciate your attention to detail because that's is exactly what I need. As you know, its that sort of thing that can kill a script. Critique away!

It appears I was able to pull it off with your help. Thanks. All is well here now.

Glad to hear it.

[Q] Help with update-script (status 6)

Hi guys, I have this error on my own update.zip, so I need help
- Edited with notepad++
- I checked, end of line, it's correct
- I checked, unix system, not windows.
So, I think is a bad mount command, my file system it's rfs (i think, just flashed with odin) , not ext4.

Thank!!

check on CMW - advance - show log
it will show what wrong after you flash the zip

Nevermind, i fix the problem
deleting line:
ui_print("=================");

how can it fix your problem? I got a staus 6 too
You mean if I remov this lines
set_progress(0.95);
ui_print("**************************************** ******");
ui_print("* Creating system links *");
ui_print("**************************************** ******");
and this...
set_progress(0.99);
ui_print("**************************************** ******");
ui_print("* Install kernel *");
ui_print("**************************************** ******");
assert(package_extract_file("boot.img", "/tmp/boot.img"),
write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p8"),
delete("/tmp/boot.img"));
unmount("/data");
unmount("/system");
unmount("/custpack");
set_progress(1.00);
ui_print("**************************************** ******");
ui_print(" DONE !!! ");
ui_print("**************************************** ******");
will fix it

[Q] DPI??

So i have my dpi set manually to 440 in build.prop. Is there a way to retain my dpi settings after flashing nightly. I know it's possible with a script but can't find any for nexus 5. Maybe someone here knows how and can kindly guide me. I don't want to use an app. I am running cyanogenmod.

Yeah easy.
Create a flashable zip and in the system folder create a text file called "build_prop.sh"
The contents of which being
Code:
#!/sbin/sh
sed -i 's/density=480/density=440/g' /system/build.prop;
Then in your updater-script, do this
Code:
show_progress(0.500000, 0);
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/system/build_prop.sh");
run_program("sbin/sh", "/system/build_prop.sh");
delete("/system/build_prop.sh");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/system");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/sdcard");
ui_print("");
ui_print("...and we're done!");

[GUIDE] [TUT] Enable Bootanimation Sound On/Off Device For CyanogenMod - ‏LineageOS

Today Present way to enable sounds at bootanimations turn on/off device
if you open that file named bootanimation in system/bin, will find the way and follow, i have prepared the guide for cyanogenmod lollipop & marshmallow & nougat​​
Let's Start​Marshmallow & Lollipop :​​just i explain to you how to find it go to system/bin and open bootanimation
will conclude the following :
1 - codec for audio file must be [only 16 bit WAV files are supported]
2 - file will put in system/media [boot.wav & shutdown.wav]
3 - file zip will be named [shutdownanimation.zip & bootanimation.zip]
4 - open your build prob and add this lines
PHP:
ro.config.power_on=boot.wav
ro.config.power_off=shutdown.wav
​
Nougat :​​just i explain to you how to find it go to system/bin and open bootanimation
will conclude the following :
1 - codec for audio file must be .wav
2 - file will put in system/media [audio.wav]
3 - file zip will be named [bootanimation.zip]
4 - open your build prob and add this lines
PHP:
ro.config.power_on=boot.wav
ro.config.power_off=shutdown.wav
persist.sys.bootanim.play_sound=true
marshmallow & lollipop guide may work with some of nougat's roms
app help you to get and set audio file 16 bit WAV
Guide not confusing, it's very easy just put audio files and lines in build prob, guide long because i explaining with details
