I didn't make this, the original creator is "DooMLoRD", I just found that it works for our version of the One X as well!

[ info ]
i am attaching a easy to run package which contains the files required for full functionality of executing startup scripts (init.d scripts)...
basically this will allow the user to execute custom shell scripts, placed in /system/etc/init.d/ folder and they will be executed on each boot!
Please note that some custom ROMs/Kernels already have this feature... This addon is ment to be used on STOCK ROM...
[ requirements ]
stock rooted ROM
windows PC with adb drivers installed
[ how to install ]
download the provided zip package
save it on c:\
extract the contents of the package
connect phone with usb debugging active to PC via ADB
execute "runme.bat"
follow onscreen instructions & enjoy!
incase some issue is there post the output/log of script
[ additional info ]
i have added the following things in the package:
corrected /system/bin/sysint file
run-parts binary in /system/xbin/run-parts (which is basically busybox 1.19.3 binary)
correct /system/etc/install-recovery.sh file (this file gets executed by default on stock kernel too!)
test/example script /system/etc/init.d/99test
to check if this is working the test script (99test) will create a temporary file /data/local/tmp/init.d_log_test.txt on each boot

So just follow the instructions after downloading the package below. I'll try making a CWM flashable file when I get home.
I will also port over some nice CPU scaling tweaks from my other devices and some nice maintenance scripts.

So how does this do this without modding init.rc in ramdisk? Or does it? I cant look, just wondering how it works.

Thanks for sharing this useful script. it worked for me on MIUI Sensation sense base rom.

Guide to enable 24bit Audio on Xiaomi Redmi 5 [ROSY]

Hey everyone, in this guide I will show you how you can get 24bit audio processing on your beloved rosy.
Keep in mind that I WILL NOT provide a bunch of files for you to change within your root, because audio xml's changes a lot and its hard to keep track for me as to which files will work and which won't. So rather, I will provide a way for you to edit those files on your own.
Requirements:-
1. Rooted with Magisk
2. A File manager (ex. MiX) with root permission granted
3. Note Editor (You can use MiX note editor)
4. Terminal Emulator like Termux to test if the method worked or not
5. Some Common Sense
ROMs I tested this on:-
1. LOS by Pulkit
2.RevengeOS by Pratyakshm
3.PixelExperience
4.AOSP11 by Pulkit
This method should also work on:-
1. Any Android 10 based ROM
I cannot say about android 9 or the version's before that because i never tested them, however if someone is willing to do that, let me know in the post replies and make sure you follow the guide.
Before we start, MAKE SURE TO BACKUP YOUR OLD FILES IN CASE ANY PROBLEMS ARISES LIKE BOOTLOOP'S.
So the steps are as Follow:-
1. Open up MiX or any of the file manager that you have then head over to /vendor/etc .
2. In there, find "audio_policy_configuration.xml" .
3. Take backup of this file and then open "audio_policy_configuration.xml" .
4. Under <mixPort="primary output"> profile name would be written as "AUDIO_FORMAT_PCM_16_BIT" change this string to "AUDIO_FORMAT_PCM_24_BIT_PACKED" .
5. Follow the same process as given in Step 4 for <mixPort = "raw"> , <mixPort = "deepbuffer"> and <mixPort = "direct pcm"> .
6. Scroll down the section of <device_port> and replace the string shown above for <Wired_Headset>, <Wired_Headphones>,<BT_SCO>,<BT_SCO_Headset>,<Line>.
- - Refer to the Screenshot Attached below, That will be enough for you to understand it properly.

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
6.This step is only for people who also have the file audio_policy.conf in vendor/etc directory.
>> under primary > outputs , change format to "AUDIO_FORMAT_PCM_24_BIT_PACKED" for primary, raw & deep_buffer. [Screenshot attached below]
6. Save the file and put it back in /vendor/etc and give chmod 0644 [-rw-r--r--] .
7. Reboot your device.
- - At this point if your Phone doesn't boot, use TWRP to replace the new file [edited] with the Old one [unedited] file and message me on telegram @bancelhub so that I could look into the matter.
PROFIT!
How to check if it's working.
1. Open up termux with su.
2. Type "dumpsys media.audio_flinger"
3. AudioOut_D and AudioOut_1D should show "AUDIO_FORMAT_PCM_24_BIT_PACKED" as HAL Format. [Refer to Screenshots Attached]
Hope this guide was good enough, this was the first guide I wrote on xda. You might have noticed that I only explained how to do this on one device tree, Pulkit one's, since his dt is public I used it to show this experiment. You can try it on other ROM's based on other DT's but your procedure may vary, mildly. let me know your experience on telegram!
Happy Editing!

Awesome !!
Thanks for detailed guide :good:

Nice Guide ,Working

Question Need help

I been following the updates of Raven ui on their telegram, but there instructions don't work. i can't get it working on my redmi note 11 pro 5g.
I keep getting a error saying "mount system partition read-only" i tried flashing the encrytion disabler, but won't let me flash that either.

The error says that your system partion is RO (Read-Only) and you have to mount the system partion with adb tool in your pc to RW (Read & Write) but for this root (su) super user access is needed

Please correct me if I'm wrong but from what I can see, Raven UI is only available for the Spes device which is not the 5G model which is called Veux.

Ok be instructed while modifing your android half knowledge is more problematic then no knowledge

I don't think that is available for peux/veux. I used Lineage Recovery to sideload ArrowOS 13 stable without issues. The ROM works smoothly and is almost bug free.

You are absolutely right, just searched for it, it is for the 4G version of the Note 11.

after android 8 (in preparation for project Treble), system partition is mounted during boot as read-only by default (as you can find out through the partition's mount flags). so there's 2 ways to achieve what you want:
you remove the shared_block feature from Super.img and mount system as R/W. There are tools to do this, but they're not tested on Samsung devices. Like this Tool.
you root your phone with Magisk and make a Magisk module to add your files systemless-ly. Here is the Developer Guide.
Of course, You would need an unlocked Bootloader. Here is the guide for Unlocking and Rooting. I also advise you to flash TWRP before experimenting with the Module you create. Good luck.

Sorry I forgot to mention that I'm already Rooted with systemless-ly already activated.

Just tested Fx file explorer on my privious phone and it works correctly after mounting the folder.
I passed the root check. is there a diffent option/checkmark to allow Fx access to root or give Fx pemisions in majiks on android 13?

Looking for a guide or tutorial to modify init stuff

Hello,
I have a pixel 6a with Android 13. I'm trying to start a hello world service/daemon that just loops at boot.
From what I've been reading, it seems like I have to add a rc file to /system/etc/something(?). I tried to add a rc file to it, but it's read-only
So it seems like I have two choices. Download a factory image, unpack system.img, mount it, add a rc file, repack it, and flash it or add cpio file to boot.img like Magisk.
Am I understanding this right or is there a simpler way?
Thanks!

looks like a very old guide, though...
Will it work with newer Android versions (e.g: 13)?

Take note that the Android platform consists of the Linux kernel and the Android API Framework.

When a mobile device gets powered o then as 1st thing the Linux kernel gets loaded and its code gets processed - and not the Android framework, hence at this time it's irrelevant what Android OS version - what gets loaded and its code gets processed after boot-up is completed - is present on moile device.

Thanks for the guide!
But will it work on Android 13 though?
I know boot.img for Android 13 no longer contains system stuff
