Guest kendon Posted January 20, 2010 Report Posted January 20, 2010 I'm cooking a rom and i want to include MoDaCo's automatic apps2sd, can you help me? are you sure you should be cooking roms with features you don't understand? and you should state your problem here, the answer to your question would be "yes, we can help you"...

I've already seen a2sd script in /system/bin folder, I just don't know how to make it automatic So if you don't want to help just tell what's with the attitude, i said you need to state your problem, you didn't even say where your problem was, the answer could have been "go to a store and buy a hero". you have to show a little effort if you want anyone to help you. start it in the ramdisk in init.rc, good luck.

I'm sorry if i seemed grumpy In any case, i gave a look to init.rc file, there are some lines about a2sd, including this: start a2sd and this service a2sd /system/bin/logwrapper /system/bin/sh /system/bin/a2sd So i have only to copy a2sd script in system/bin, right?

Guest kendon Posted January 20, 2010 Report Posted January 20, 2010 (edited) see, now we have a conversation :) i am not entirely sure what logwrapper does, but otherwise this should do it. just test with a simple script that writes something to a file on the sdcard or whatever... edit: logwrapper does this: Usage: logwrapper [-x] BINARY [ARGS ...] Forks and executes BINARY ARGS, redirecting stdout and stderr to the Android logging system. Tag is set to BINARY, priority is always LOG_INFO. -x: Causes logwrapper to SIGSEGV when BINARY terminates fault address is set to the status of wait() Edited January 20, 2010 by kendon
Guest Dr. dre Posted January 21, 2010 Report Posted January 21, 2010 (edited) I want to do this thing on a generic Hero ROM and not on a Modaco custom ROM, so i don't have this script init.rc file in my /system/bin/ folder. Edited January 21, 2010 by Dr. dre

Guest Exit93 Posted January 21, 2010 Report Posted January 21, 2010 (edited) Ok, i tried to make a script called a2sd and i put that in /system/bin it has this code in #!/system/bin/sh # mkdir /sdcard/testfolder But it doesn't work, the folder doesn't appear Any ideas?

Guest Dr. dre Posted January 21, 2010 Report Posted January 21, 2010 (edited) Kendon i have that script file init.rc, Actually i'm all new to this so i'll be very thankfull if you can give me a step by step procedure to edit that file and what to do after that. Edited January 21, 2010 by Dr. dre

Kendon i have that script file init.rc, Actually i'm all new to this so i'll be very thankfull if you can give me a step by step procedure to edit that file and what to do after that. like i said, it is not trivial... most of the information (if not all) you need is in there. if you have specific questions how to do this in linux (esp. ubuntu) you can ask them here, but i don't have time to walk you through "how do i use a script" or stuff like that... edit: lol, i actually forgot to paste the link. the information is in there: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=551711 Ok, i tried to make a script called a2sd and i put that in /system/bin it has this code in #!/system/bin/sh # mkdir /sdcard/testfolder But it doesn't work, the folder doesn't appear Any ideas? did you start it in init.rc? did you check logcat (or whereever logwrapper directs the output) for errors?

Guest Exit93 Posted January 21, 2010 Report Posted January 21, 2010 can't find where logwrapper saves log The init.rc code about a2sd is this start a2sd and this service a2sd /system/bin/logwrapper /system/bin/sh /system/bin/a2sd disabled oneshot Should I remove disabled? If yes how can i do this by an update-script? I read modaco's script but it doesn't edit init.rc file

If yes how can i do this by an update-script? I read modaco's script but it doesn't edit init.rc file i think the "disabled" is correct, but idk about the syntax of that file... it is in mcr aswell, so it should be right. the init.rc is flashed with the boot.img that is included in the update.zip. you have to create a new boot.img (which contains the ramdisk which contains init.rc) for your rom, you can not alter files inside the ramdisk once it is on the phone. check my previous post, i added the link i forgot.
