So many of you may or may not know, but thanks to drhonk we now have init.d support for our roms
init.d is a folder in your system/etc area and its a folder that can contain different kinds of tweaks such as:
startup tweaks
ram boosters
performance tweaks
etc
How do i use it? simply by having drhonks 2.1 kernel and the init.d folder(with whatever tweaks you may like) in system/etc
Here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/ja5t131d395blty/init.d.zip
is an init.d folder with tweaks from: darky, the bionix frost rom and the trigger rom, all in one folder
just unzip using file expert or whatever you use, and place init.d in system/etc then reboot
Thanks to:
darky for rambooster
birge and edt for tweaks
and teamwhiskey/ drhonk
and the rest of the community
Copied it to /system/etc ..rebooting

How do I tell if its working?
doesn't appear to be a folder within the archive. just the files. if i rename it, it just shows up as a file, not a folder. am i doing something wrong?
Should I...
A) create the init.d folder manually and extract the files into it
B) move the .zip file and rename it even though it doesn't show up as a folder
As above, how do we tell if it's working?
Thanks!

I went with option A and that must have been right because I have just over 200mb of ram free and the phone is just insanely fast and sooooooo buttery smooth.
thank you so much for this!
If option A in my original reply was the wrong one, please let me know....

although apps do re-open almost immediately, some apps stay closed.. my phone bogs when i have alot of apps open, especially when i try to use intensive apps.
that being said i dont use the task killer much to free up memory but to kill apps right before i lock my phone- saving me alot of battery while my phone sleeps.
the article talks alot about processes but i dont go crazy with auto kill and advanced options.. bc they do create instability..
the truth is even the stock rom includes a built in task killer, as do many high end android phones, along with a task manager widget..
Just downloaded and will post my opinions asap. Thanks alot for this and for sharing it with the community! This baby just keeps getting better and i'm already woopin ass on everyone's phones that i know. Out preforms anything im coming across!
So what do we do with the init.d tweaks that r inside the folder?

One of three things:
1) push the tweaks into system/etc/init.d
2) if you do not have init.d folder create it and push the tweaks there
3) push the init.d folder from the download as a whole instead of just the tweaks into system/etc

Thanks man. I noticed the folder came with the kernel. The folder is already in system/etc. So im guessing I don't do nothing then just as long the folder is im system/etc right

Hi, I would like to know what folder apps on both the system and sd card can be found in. This is so that I can can change app permissions.
Thanks!

You can only change permissions of apps in "system/app"!

What permissions? The read write permissions or the AndroidManifest permissions?
U can't change the manifest permissions, and judging by your knowledge, u don't wanna change read write permissions either

For moving apps to System/Apps, you need to be rooted!
If you are, use Root Explorer to copy app from your sdcard and paste them in System/Apps and then change their permission to rw-r--r--

Ok, i have modified my flies.apk using winrar and when i pasted in system/app it was not fine.There were two my files . It should have asked to overwrite...
Then i deleted the old one and copied the new one. Then i rebooted it
Nothing was there. My new modified my files was not there. It was in system/app but not shown in app drawer(it was not hidden). I restored my old one (Thanks to titanium backup) but now it is not shown in system/app.
Well i want to know is there a problem in modified apk?
I have also signed it
I have used this method
Opened my files with winrar
Changed things
Closed winrar
Signed it
Is this correct?

I didn't mean mounting /system R/W
I mean your modded apk file permission, use an app like Xplore or Root Explorer to give it 644 permission in order to see it in the app drawer.
Or just install it as user app and use Titanium Backup to convert it to system app.
But how do i do with titanium backup as its not installed
In titanium backup old my files is shown not new one

Hi there
My experiments come to an end. Pls note the steps below
(1)at first u need a sample zIP download it from below link
http://d-h.st/ZYX
(2)download "PowerGrasp file manager" from link below
http://d-h.st/t3u
(3)open the sample zip from file manager(do not extract) u will see
Folder meta-inf (don't modify it leave it as it is)
now make another folder named system under this make folder app(For apk's)now cut and paste any desired apk into app folder
(4)now file manager asks compression level choose normal(6)
(5)Now exit this zip operation
Hurrey u have created ur first cwm flashable zip from ur phone itself
Goto recovery and flash it. Off course it will work just try and hit thanks
-----------------------------------------------------
Hints
/system/app - all the system apps (SystemUI.apk etc)
/system/framework/ -framework-res.apk,android.policy.jar
/system/media - bootanimation.zip
/system/lib - libraries (*.so)
---------------------------------------------------------------
For rom's flashable zip u need to edit the updater script u can do this also in mobile(like notepad++ in PC)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aor.droidedit
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HIT THANKS if u like my work. Don't think just hitttttt
Great thanks testing

Why would you need to make a flashable zip of your phone, what's wrong with a normal nandroid? This idea makes no sense.

If u want to make flash able zip of boot animation then u need PC
With this u don't need PC. Understand the thread now u can create flashable zip right from your phone
Basically it can be used to make flashable zips/roms. Or edit existing roms to remove stuff you don't want before flashing all from your phone.

How about the permissions from the apps that get flashed?
Are they automatically set to 644 after flashing?

Yes it requires. It is actually related to ROM modifications via flashing the zip through cwm.
