Beta 13: MoDaCo.SWITCH HTC One support topic

Sorry, not very clear there. I don't mean the additional reboot on Switch, I mean the ROM loads and after a couple of minutes reboots. Happened once on sense, but a few times on GE. It then locks in a boot loop and needs a soft reboot. After that it runs fine.

Ah right, i've not seen that.

Nope, doesn't. I have the same kernel running for both ROMs, did the changes on both, and they're loaded:


root@android:/ # ls -la /etc/init.d/00switch
lrwxrwxrwx root root 2013-07-22 10:45 00switch -> /system/SWITCH/sense/etc/install-recovery.sh

root@android:/ # ls -la /system/SWITCH/sense/etc/install-recovery.sh <
-rwxr-xr-x root root 104 2008-08-01 14:00 install-recovery.sh
[/code]

Kicking it off by 'adb shell .... ' works everytime, though. Will keep trying.

=> shouldn't that link point to /etc/install-recovery.sh, perhaps?

Hmmm, weird, I would have thought that would work.

Rather than symlinking, you could try copying the install-recovery.sh to the init.d dir...

Another small thing to look at is the home button behaviour, it would be really nice to have it working the same in both ROM's. Currently the GE ROM uses a long press for Google Now and the Sense uses swipe up, they both work but it would be nicer to have consistency across both.

Maybe once custom kernels are sorted we can map the key individually.

I copied it, to the same name, so init.d should kick in.


root@android:/ # ls -la /etc/init.d/00switch                                   

-rwxr-xr-x root     root          101 2013-07-22 11:18 00switch

Maybe the kernel doesn't handle init.d-stuff correctly, I'll try to find out about this.

Hmmm, interesting. The answer to this might be to add an exclusion to com.android.providers.contacts, which in reality probably won't have any ill effects as contacts are synced down anyway.

P

same problem for me. In the sense version, contacts are there, but I can't find them with T9 dialer.

You don't need root and yes, running '/data/SWITCH/sense/firstrun.sense' from the Terminal Emulator app should also work.

P

I get this....

u0_a206@android:/ $ /data/SWITCH/sense/firstrun.sense

Unable to chmod /data/SWITCH/busybox: Operation not permitted

mount: permission denied (are you root?)

mount: permission denied (are you root?)

dd: can't open '/dev/block/mmcblk0p33': Permission denied

rm: remove '/data/SWITCH/sense/firstrun.sense'?

I think a few other syncs are not working correctly too. I subscribed to this thread with tapatalk but don't get notifications when something new comes up. On my N4 they show up. With Falcon and G+ im unsure about this, maybe nothing was posted in between.

Another small FYI - If you restore apps with data from Titanium Backup it seems to cause little issues but if you just restore the app then set it up the results are far better. Obviously it is not every app but it is not just apps with online accounts, one that played up for me is Bar Launcher but wiping the app data fixed it.

Did you restore from backup? I know @lennyuk is looking at if that impacts push services.

P

Yes, I used Koush's Helium. It used to work very well between my Hox and my N4. I will reinstall from Play Store and look if it helps. Next time I skip restoring when testing a ROM

I am investigating apps that use Google's official push service.

For this I am testing with Twitter, Battlefiriends at Sea and tapatalk.

I have a suspicion that if you do not install these apps directly from the Play Store it doesn't register with the Push Service.

I have just cleared data on these three apps, uninstalled, rebooted then reinstalled and logged back in, I will monitor how they operate.

Okay. I cleared Tapatalks Data and signed back in. This time it asked me to sign in to App engine or something. I think this did it. Will test.

It said what now?

Just a suggestion:

In your install_recovery.sh, you might test for the file's existence, before executing?


#!/system/bin/sh


# Run scripts

/data/SWITCH/gpe/firstrun.gpe

/data/data/com.modaco.flipswitch/flip

A simple [test -x $FILE && $FILE] would prevent unnecessary errors?

So far so good (well more frigging amazing than good)!!

Installed following the steps and had no problems, everything runs super smooth and no problems changing between the two. I see some people have been having issues but for what ever reason I'm yet to stumble across anything.

My only question would be in regards to SMS sync between the two stock messaging apps. I realise they are different applications but was wondering if there was a way that an SMS message received on one Rom would automatically appear on the others SMS list when you switch. I'm using SMS Backup+ at the moment, which I think is working the way I want to, but its a bit of a pain. I dont really like using goSMS or handcent, prefer sticking to what ever stock messaging is provided.

Great work Paul and such a fantastic idea!

I could do that I guess for tidiness. ;)

This is coming in a future release, i'm working on the SMS DB translation tool.

Agreed I thought this but I think Paul is trying to get them both stock for now. Also this isnt an issue per say but anyway to get battery apps that display a % in the status bar to appear in one rom? On the sense one I use the HTC provided one but I use a custom one on the GE edition seen as it doesnt have a % meter.

I searched the corresponding thread on XDA about this kernel, and there's someone else mentioning that some init-script isn't executed as it's supposed to be, and another one is asking whether this kernel will have full init.d-support, with the dev answering "some time perhaps"...

So probably that's just the problem.

Beta 6 update zip released - flash over the top of any version when in Sense mode. No wipe required - Switch at least once to activate the new features. This update adds an OTA updater, Switch version in now shown in the settings - about screen, FlipSwitch is updated, contact provider is now siloed, appwidget and wallpaper are also siloed.

The best way to do this would be to install the app and add an exclusion file so seperate settings are kept for each ROM. That way you can have the app settings 'turned on' in one ROM but off in the other.

Switched to 6 and everything is good! Got an error on initial boot for SwitchUp but one switch fixed it. Also, just a suggestion, will the final name be MoDaCo.SWITCH? I feel just Switch would be better or SwitchUp. But hey the version now is also free promotion so that's good!
