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!");

can someone smarter than me help me or point me in the right direction to convert my updater-scripts to edify. i think im sort of getting it but i want to make sure because i'm not a programmer. for instance, is the update-binary file required or just updater-script? also, the code posted below, it what i've come up with for flashing my themes, is it correct? and will it work with the new recoveries?
Code:
ui_print("Preparing system for istallation...");
ui_print("Wiping Cache / Dalvik...");
delete_recursive("/cache");
delete_recursive("/data/dalvik-cache");
ui_print("Installing Project_Bliss HD...");
show_progress(0.100000, 60);
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
show_progress(1.000000, 0);
i am unsure whether or not i will have to mount the specific partitions for data and cache for this to work. i can always leave that part out but the less the person flashing needs to do the better. if i do have to mount in the script will the code below work for just a simple theme flash.
Code:
ui_print("Preparing system for installation...");
run_program("/sbin/mount", "/dev/block/mtdblock4", "/system");
ui_print("Installing Project_Bliss HD...");
show_progress(0.100000, 60);
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
show_progress(1.000000, 0);
Anyone?

No one? Hmmmm?
I'm also interested in the same topic..
trying to build rom with dsixida kitchen and converting it from update to updater scripts remove all ui_print functions...
If I add them manually then clockwork refuses to boot that image...
Ditto... same issue about the ui_print... don't get it, because after the update-script gets created to the updater-script/update-binary cant be changed.
try this
show_progress(0.500000, 20);
run_program("/sbin/mount", "/system");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
unmount("/system");
show_progress(0.500000, 30);
ui_print("All done!");
Hi guys,
i was wondering how to edit the updater-script and put some apps in a data/app folder ready to flash....
I thought something like this:
Code:
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/data");
package_extract_dir("data", "/data");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "chmod", "0771", "/data/data");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "chmod", "0771", "/data/app");
unmount("/data");
Well after flashing this i got a bootloop.
Any suggestions ?
This one can be closed.
No one is interested in this i think
I wondering about how to do that as well.. if someone knows it would be great!
I'm working on creating a script that allows me to clean up my system when I do ROM updates (like removing unnecessary system files).
I've got it working almost completely, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to mount the data partition so I can remove some apks from there.
Code:
mount("MTD", "data", "/data");
ui_print("Removing Data Apps");
delete("/data/app/com.estrongs.android.pop-1.apk", "/data/app/com.mx.browser-1.apk", "/data/app/com.twitter.android-1.apk");
umount("/data");
This is what I have so far...and I've attached the file that currently works.
For mounting data partition you can use busybox too and for deleting apks you can use delete_recursive parameter
Burned from my laser torch using pencil cells
Mount partitions:
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/data");
Unmount partitions:
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/system");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/data");
Delete files:
delete("/system/app/app_name.apk");
Delete dir:
delete_recursive("/path/path");
I hope that helps
Edit, you also might wanna get a log from the recovery session.
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "cp", "/tmp/recovery.log", "/sdcard");

But I do not see why
Code:
mount("MTD", "data", "/data");
will not work.
Unless it is supposed to be
Code:
mount("MTD", "userdata", "/data");
Code:
mount("MTD", "userdata", "/data"); ui_print("Removing Data Apps"); delete("/data/app/com.estrongs.android.pop-1.apk",
"/data/app/com.mx.browser-1.apk",
"/data/app/com.twitter.android-1.apk"); umount("/data");
Hi All,
I am trying to create a flash-able zip to remove some apps and I am getting this error
E: error executing updater binary in zip
Now here comes me question: is there a universal update-binary that I can use with CM11 / CM12 and is there a sample how to use it.
This is the updater-script I have written so far
Code:
ui_print("");
ui_print("Moutings Partitions");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/system");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
ui_print(" ");
ui_print("Cleaning System Apps");
delete("/system/app/BasicDreams/");
ui_print("Adding Codename Lungo Sounds & Apex Launcher")
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
set_perm_recursive(0, 0, 0755, 0644, "/system");
ui_print(" ");
ui_print("Unmounting partitions");
ui_print(" ");
ui_print("Finish");
I am using a Mac if that makes a difference..
Hey,
today I got my Z5 and tried to make myself a Deodexed rom. but somehow after I flash it my phone stucks at the Sony logo for a few seconds and then reboots.
I extracted the /system from the ext4 file, deodexed priv-app, app, framework, and put them into a .zip as well as the updater-script file. It seems to be installed properly, just yea, it boot loops.
Thats my "update-script"-File
show_progress(0.2, 1);
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
ui_print(" Extracting files... ");
ui_print(" ");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
ui_print(" Setting Permissions... ");
set_perm_recursive(0, 0, 0755, 0644, "/system");
ui_print(" Done... ");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/system");
show_progress(1, 1);
ui_print(" Please Reboot! ");
