Hello guys!!!I have tried to port bootmenu from defy.It ported successfully,but with some bugs!!!

NOTE:
THIS MOD IS EXPERIMENTAL AND IS IN PRE-ALPHA STAGE.

FOR ADVANCED USERS ONLY!!!!

Installation instruction:

• Download the package from the link given below
  
• Extract it somewhere on your sd-card
  
• You will need  app like ES file explorer or root explorer and mount the system with rw permissions
  
• Copy the bootmenu folder to the /system folder(Have to copy manually.Dnt know why it doesnt work with flashable zip.Will fix soon!!!)
  
• Copy the files from the bin folder to /system/bin folder
  
• Download attached userinit.sh.txt file and rename it to userinit.sh and copy into /data/local/ folder
  
• And you are ready to rock and roll!!!Just reboot to boot into bootmenu(If everything goes right)
  
• Screen will be inverted.Use vol + and - key to scroll through and use power button to select
  
• For now,Dual booting is not working.Working hard to get it working.
  
• To boot into recovery,Go to recovery option and select stock recovery
  
• To boot into system go to boot and select normal boot.

Download link : BootMENU for Blade

Working:

• For now,it just boots and some features like boot into recovery,normal boot.enable usb storage works.

Not working:

• Everything else like dual booting overclocking etc.Working hard to get it working.

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO REPORT BUGS!!!!

Eh? You don't seem to have mounted system yet.

[android@sam]

Thanks tilal.Got it booting.will upload the tool soon!!!

[wuiwu]

so ,we can run another android on SDcard?

great job,dude

[tilal6991]

We've already been able to do that for quite a while. This is more for having an boot menu at startup to choose what we can boot.

This boot menu starts at the time of boot.And also has the option for dualbooting,overclocking etc.

I was also thinking about that.Just downloaded the source and about to compile.

OK.First try it with the terminal emulator. Open the terminal and type following commands:

su
bootmenu

and report back what you get.

I have compiled it from the source.Now dual boot works but screen is still upside down.will update the thread soon.

Sorry for the ignorance, but what sane utilities that?

[tilal6991]

That's great. I know how to fix the upside down menus. Can you post the source on github?
