Running Init.d Script On Our Galaxy W - Samsung Galaxy W I8150

Hi everyone, i've such a good news for all the galaxy w users. I've tested that our device can run init.d script on startup(currently with Bionic Cow 1,dont know whether stock rom works or not). Here is the original post from DOOMLORD.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1236446
Here is the guide for our device to run and support init.d script on startup:
What you need:
1)CWM for galaxy w
2)The file from DOOMLORD (init.d-autorunner-stock.zip),you can download from his original post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1236446)
Step:
1)Boot to cwm recovery and do nand backup first(Just in case if got bootloop,you still can restore)
2)After backup, go to ADVANCE menu and mount system (this is important,if you didnt mount system, then the flash will not be install)
3)Select the file that you have download and flash it.
Test:
1)The easiest way to test whether the script running or not is to install ZEPPELINROX V6 supercharge script.
2)when install the script, do select to integrate to build.prop and enable init.rc
3)if you have installed the v6 script, please do unsupercharge first and do a clean install of the script. DO NOT RESTORE, cause restore will not make the script to auto start.
Hopefully this will help COWITHGUN to implement this to his next BIONIC COW 3.
EDITED:
i've try new improvement to our device. if you are using custom rom, you may wanna try this.first, you need to un-supercharge and download the adrenaline engine from this post by IMBAWIND :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24390564&postcount=2
then,flash it using cwm recovery. when flashing remember to mount the /system/ first. And do remember, after flashing this adrenaline engine, you no need to supercharge again. cause the script is included inside already. try it out guys, and post your comment. happy modding!!

come on....56 views but no one dare to test or give comment???? i need to know whether it works with all of your gw or not!!! we supposed to share and learn. pls give comment. thank you.

Gonna try as soon as I come back home.

Ehm, the files he provied are still update-scripts?

the flash file it self doesnt hv script inside. we need to install script by ourself. what i can suggest is v6 supercharge and adrenaline script. i hv combine this 2 script in my phone and it work like charm. i hv use it for a week without problem and battery for heavy 3g internet usage can last for 7 hours. try it and let every user know.

Indeed, too bad people don't seem to understand how awesome this is

Haha....sharing is caring. I just want sammy to know how good is thier phone, and how bad is it for us without ics update. If sammy really care for thier customer,surely they hv a team to develope new ics for us.

Guys, can I ask.....
I am going to try this on stock ROM, just to see will it work......
I have Zepps V6 SC already, so I need to UnSuperCharge????
This installs run-parts binary in /system/xbin/run-parts (which is basically busybox 1.16.2 binary)
Will this overwrite already installed run-parts [Busybox]
I'm using stericson installer, and have busybox 1.19.3 already installed...
Also, is there not a test script called installed /system/etc/init.d/99test
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
touch /data/local/tmp/init.d_log_test.txt
echo "done" >> /data/local/tmp/init.d_log_test.txt

Thanks for interesting with my topic. First, and yes you need to unsupercharge first. It will replace the run-parts, but you can copy and paste the command that you have inside. And make sure set back the permission. And last,it does hv 99test,but i think it doesnt matter for me.
This autorun init.d actually can run at most firmware....include stock. Just make sure u hv cwm recovery and make nand backup. When u flash,make sure u mount system in advance menu.
Happy trying.

It works, thanks!

OK...I'll give it a go today.....
Just on the Busybox version, can't I run the stericson BB Installer again after I flash the init.d zip via CWM???
Ohh, and that 99test thing, it's just to verify that init-d has worked.....
if it works, all scripts which use init-d should work, including our beloved Zepps V6

I'm not pretty sure it will work to STOCK kernel
There is something missing to run /system/bin/sysint
Code:
"missing part" -> Run sysinit ("run-part" xbin binary to call bussybox to running the bin file) -> Run init.d folder
The missing part should have command for run sysinit
Code:
#!system/bin/sh
/system/bin/sysinit
If this run you must have init.d_log_test.txt in /data/local/tmp/ folder
If isn't not there the script is not run
Actually it's interesting
I will make one based on this
Regards

hi, thanks for your information. It make sense by your explanation.
i've tried this auto init.d on both my galaxy w(cwm 5) and x10 mini pro(cwm 3.2) with stock rom. it really works, just not sure others people work or not. from the log file it all saids done. so i confirm it really works on stock. if you have others phone do give it a try, if it works, try to spread this good news. cause there is some user which dont wanna use custom rom but want to have auto script installed on stock rom.
thanks again for sharing information.

Yes. Because you are special and deserve ICS while million of others don't. Take your head out of your ass for a moment and think like this:
You are Samsung executives. You own a line of smartphone called the Galaxy phones that are many and all very different from each other. Also you have MILLIONS of customers to please. Google announces ICS but only makes it available a few days prior to release. Now you have to update most of your entire line of phones in a matter of months and you had no way to prepare ahead of time for it. Do you:
1) Hire dozens of techs, programmers and testers to make updates for all your phones that you will most likely fire at the end; or
2) Hire a few that you can keep on board but only upgrade the flagship phones/tablets on your company?
If I was a Samsung executive, I would have gone for the 2nd. Why? Because no one promised ICS upgrade on phones like the Galaxy W, S, Ace, ect. Second because Google ****ing screwed up the timing in giving the manufacturers the SDK and source.
So if you blame Samsung, blame Google aswell. Also, if you blame them then get an iPhone or a WP. But shut up with your self entitlement issues.
When I bought this phone I wasn't expecting Samsung to give a middle-range, not widely known phone an ICS upgrade. I was however expecting the dev scene at XDA to grow around this phone because of its sheer potential. And guess what, I was right
I am thinking of releasing an update to my KezraVP with built-in supercharger support. I won't make promises though, because right now I am trying to get a job in Poland and thal will force me to move countries and stuff so I dunno how much time I'll have.

first thank you for your comment. second....pls use nice words!!i'm not special,i'm just a human like u. if every people will think like you then we dont need this forum or any other developer like you!!! we appeal, we complaint just try to make this phone better. if we didnt complaint, how do sammy know that his customer is having so much complaint on the os upgrade??? u try to think like this way.......if there is no customer service....how ur company can improve??? no feed back???
i've tried your firmware also....no doubt it's very nice n beatiful rom. maybe u can try add in the init.d to ur rom so users can get rid of script manager. or another suggestion is add in adrenaline script v6 to your rom.
good luck in your job finding.....

[REQ] A Good Guide To Sztupy's Universal Lagfix. Sztupy Chips In Here.

Hi,
I for one is an eternal seeker of a lagfree SGS. But, being Sztupy, he can only spew out TECH. Most people either misunderstand, misinterpret or misdo things that he says & get into trouble.
My request here. Can a dev put things into perspective & give out a simple detailed guide for everyone? It needs to be lucid & comprehensive, & to be understood by both a layman as well as Einstein.
Thanks to all of you for the good work. I now feel proud I chose SGS over X10, my daughter gave me 10 seconds to choose.

A guide for a kernel that is meant to be for people to make experimenting easy... kinda strange
Of course there might be a guide which tells you how to achieve the most stable config with ultk, but I'd rather flash voodoo in that case as it's much more stable. (but it's not really meant for people who want to experiment with different hacks and tweaks).
Btw. some cookers already use ultk in their config, and provide some guide on which option to choose (usually they tell you use no-rfs advanced ext4). They also have the added benefit that using the same rom there are less problems and more people can actually try to guess what went wrong (as all of the people on that rom topic are actually using more or less the same config).
The ultk, because it's just a kernel can be flashed to a lot of different roms, and it's possible some of it bugs are there because it's in some way or another incompatible with that particular rom.
Although a simple guide would be:
- Reboot to download mode (by holding voldown+home+power while switching on)
- Flash a complete JPM or JP6 based ROM, using Odin (re-partition ticked, use the 512 pit, and use a package that contains all images (dbdata,cache,system), although dbdata might be optional)
- After flashing reboot to download mode.
- Flash the kernel image over on that rom, using Odin (re-partition is not ticked, only the image is set as the PDA part)
- After flashing reboot to recovery mode (by holding volup+home+power while switching on)
- In the recovery menu chose Advanced ULK features->Lagfix options->No -RFS Advanced (a=e4)
- Press "reboot to recovery"
- After reboot chose not to create a backup, nor a restore
- After it boots up in recovery again press reboot again.
- You'll have a clear system with ext4 on all data partitions

Yep, it's actually preferred to use that rom as a base.
Ok, I'll try and flash it. Sztupy, your ROM is the only Froyo ROM I'm using. Thank You GREAT JOB!!!!
Pls correct me if I am wrong (still learning):
'Ext4 + ext2' means loop means buffer does not fsync ? It this safe? Not always 100% sure everything if saved?
Bind means using a faster but smaller partition ? Safe except for 'running out of space' problems ?
Correct? or?
I still need to test read speeds: How fast is RFS reads compared to EXT4 reading speed? I still believe an ALL EXT4 would be the best lag-fix!
Can /efs be made EXT4? I know /SYSTEM can. I need 48 hours in a day!

2.3.4 Gingerbread for the Sprint Tab [CDMA][DEV-FILES]

For those of you that want to get in on early GB development but don't have the skill to compile it from source, I compiled the new source code that dropped for the gingerbread build for the Sprint Tab. This is NOT an installable rom. This is a zip containing the compiled AOSP kernel and system, purely for research/development purposes. Download, unzip and play. I doubt this will boot on a CDMA device without the proper bootloaders, but you're welcome to try. You can even develop AOSP roms from it that will probably run on your tab after the update on the 5th. Enjoy.
Download​
Hope someone comes up with a great rom be it asop or other. Im truly looking for great things to come out of this.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA Premium App
im expecting alot from these files!!!
a working 2.3 rom means the following for cdma tabs:
1.working skype video calls!
2.Working hulu!
3. Last but not least, Working Netflix!
it would make the tablet experience so much better for us CDMA owners.
i want to be the first to make a bug list on the first dev to release a rom
it would be a honor
and glad to see you finally posting something space. you have been in hiding so long, you rival osama lol

I guess I should add: you'll need the driver libs to get this running... you'll have to gank what you can from the gsm GB build. Stuff in /system/lib/hw and /system/lib/egl and so on. Just compare and you will get the idea.

Thanks! This is useful. I am merging the CDMA kernel sources with GSM right now and the PowerVR module is updated so it looks like I will have to switch to newer OpenGL driver from this archive.

I hope it's useful. Sadly, the proprietary files weren't included in the source, so of course you'll have to patchwork from other builds or wait until the official release for some of those.
You're welcome though, glad to be of service.

Yeah, I just noticed that, no EGL, etc. Maybe they put this stuff in /vendor now?

It seems OTA may be pushed to some users now. Anyone care to rip all the files in /system and post them?

Open adb shell and run this:
tar -czvf /mnt/sdcard/system_dump.tar.gz /system/
it will create file system_dump.tar.gz in on your sdcard with the contents of your factoryfs (system) partition.
alright! So when my update comes i will do just that and put it on my dropbox, providing you a download link!

Otherwise i'll get the update installed and see about running the sys dump as well.

has anyone tested this? i don't wanna brick my tab!
I've got it up and running on my tab and there's at least 1 other person from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1148447 that has it up and running as well.. Odin'd back to stock EA24, did the OTA EB28, and then ran the update.zip from stock recovery. All is happy on my tab. Now I just have to wait till i'm at work tomorrow to get ADB to work, and I'll dump /system.

(Calling all devs) Porting a build(s) for continuum!!!

Hey guys!
i am very new at this but i have ported a build from fascinate over to our continuum and am looking for some devs to jump in and start helping me fix stuff.
this is very early but you can grab my first port here.
it is very much not ready for every day use.
Please flash if you are going to help me fix this for everyone
Code:
[B]
Rap sheet of things to fix will be here:
Screen placement overlaps the ticket screen, i was thinking we could
somehow code this thing so it will ignore the ticker
screen and only use the top.
Also we need to enable the soft keys.
Keyboard is non existent.
phone is not functional yet.[/B]
Well since this phone is virtually Unbrickable.... why not try our best.

Sent from my SCH-I400 using xda premium
thanks for the well wishes... anyone know where to go in the rom to edit the screen dimentions yknow so it uses the top screen only? i think this is kernal
yea the problem with ports on the continuum is u cant flash mtd files in recovery a friend and i tried to port the fascinate miui 2.3.2 rom to the continuum we got everything resised and made it flashable but it just said installation aborted. the fascinate can flash mtd files straight from recovery and the continuum can not.
i still have all the files for miui if someone wants them pm me the problem is converting it to a .tar file so we can install via odin.

mtd files? what's those for? the above build was ported from a fascinate rom. very asop
most roms use mtd sum to install everything im not going to go into detail about everything because i would just sound like an idiot lol.

sure, gimme a few and i'll update post 1, last night late i posted it with minimal info then went to bed...
alright here goes nothin im going to see what happens lol
The demensions seem to be within the framework, or at least the call to the kernel for the screen size..
So porting it is pointless, because you'll have to modify the framework back to the continuum's which would defeat the point...
As far as I think/know
That is actually why I stopped
But, feel free to prove/show me up
Sent from my SCH-I400 using xda premium
it does boot but i couldnt even get to settings and about phone to tell what it was and he still hasnt updated the op yet.
Yeah, i know it boots, haha.. I did this like two months ago
But the screen isn't divided properly for the ticker/softkeys... And won't be unless you can find the right part to edit
What language are we talking about? If it's Java I'm happy to help.

From what I have seen, in other posts about other phones, the screen size is written into the kernel. So, to do this, we need the source code for the kernel.
joshkoss: Great effort, but to do any serious mods, we must have the kernel source code. Without that, there is no way to compile the fixes/changes into the kernel. I have been able to use modprobe to do a few things, but, generally, the modules must be compiled against the source code of the kernel to work properly.
If someone can get us the kernel source code, we will be golden... Up until then, porting anything is not going to be fun.
If one was REALLY interested in doing this, one would take the generic Gingerbread kernel and ROM and work a build from the ground up that way. Especially since I don't think Samsung, nor Verizon will be handing out the kernel source code.
There is an off chance that Samsung might give the Continuum kernel source code to a developer AFTER Verizon sunsets this phone... (It's a very remote chance...)
Verizon gave me this number for the Samsung Mobile Helpline: (888) 987-4357. I haven't called them yet, but if enough of us call, someone MIGHT be able to knock something loose... Who knows. Let me know if I can help... This phone is my only phone, so I can't go flashing it every night to try things, but, over the weekend, I can try things.
Ciao!
I agree...collectively we should be capable of anything...even gettn sammy source...sumhow
sent from my XDA phone - its more than a continuum
I for one think y'all can do anything. Y'all have already done so much and I really think y'all are on to something huge!
Put a thread on cyanogen.com asking for assistance with this topic. What do you guys think of doing a donation pool to get a build working on our device?

[Tweak]INIT.D

Not sure as this belongs here or not, but I think this is the best place for it. This will allow you to add init.d to your phone without CWM. I got it working for me, so I hope everyone else will have the same fortune.
Requirements:
1.Root
2.Fully installed Busybox
3. Windows computer
Instructiions:
Download and run runme.bat

Added the CWM version to the OP - Quick instructions:
Put on your SD card or somewhere you can find on your phone and flash with CWM - done!
Files from his forum - Xperia S - has been edited to remove errors
Please note this will fail if any of the Busybox symlinks are not complete!

I am not sure it works.
1. the 06dalvik script did not create /cache/dalvik-cache folder.
2. the 99test did not create any file in /data/local/tmp.
does our kernel support init.d?

Mine is working, if you got some errors during the load process, I need to know.
If thing to do is check your symlinks and make sure that they are all there for busybox.
Use this to check your symlinks:https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsInN0ZXJpY3Nvbi5idXN5Ym94Il0.
If any one is missing, it could stop the install process.
On the thing about our kernel supporting init.d, the answer is not currently and that is why we have to use this program. It will allow compatibility with our kernel to have init.d.
The busbox is ok.
I can run it rom my terminal on the phone as well as adb shell.
There were no errors during installation.
Edit:
I ran the script again today.
The init.d works. the 99test did create a file in /data/local/tmp.
INIT.D installed. Excellent! Now to look up some tweaks. You da man Popfan.

Running it at 50% is pretty good also. The script will at least zipalign, check for proper permissions on all apps, clean the delvik-cache, and reorganize the task manager priorities and also your ram manager settings. You should try the battery calibration script that is there also, it is really nice.

Script manager is easiest. Don't forget to use as root for all those scripts.
I did forget that it will also allow for a powershift, so you can change your settings on the fly if you need more multitasking capabilities than power savings or more power.

It looks like it is going to be a little tricky, but at 50% I can tell the Xperia Launcher is working better and almost never see any lag. With Nova Launcher, it just flies.
That's awesome news. What exactly do you mean by 50%... The CPU? Or what?

It reads like there are extra manual steps to get ICS fully super charged.
Sent from Rooted LT28at with ICS.
It does not look like the latest CWM that I put will be compatible with the extra mods, after I put the cwm together and flashed it bricked my phone. I have put my phone back to where it was before the modifications for the ICS supercharger (the service.jar and service.odex modded part) and works just fine without the additional mods, but I don't think I am going to try to mod the phone again (wife will get mad at me if I hard brick my phone).

[ROM][.45][OC]PowerXperia

Ok, I really should contribute to the community somehow So I decided to fix any little problem in my rom i'm currently using and release it, so people like me, that means people who like clean and tidy ROMs with some extra horsepower under the hood and few tweaks that increases usefulness of their device a bit will have their life a little bit easier because I'll try to implement as much awesomeness without unnecessary bloatware to this ROM and learn a bit about modding in the process
And I proudly present you PowerXperia ROM for Xperia S
It's based on official .45 ROM, with following changes:
StatusBar toggles
Percentage battery mod
^ these two were one mod, p3001ee's statusbarmod with quickpanelsettings.
krabappel2548's XperiaSSpeed Kernel V6 with stock bootlogo and "Xperia" background in recovery

exciting stuff!! Btw, is it overclocked by default??
Harsh7689: The point of this ROM is to ease the effort patching it up to others with similar requirements from their device. I've not said that I have done something special, I don't know java and I know very little from bash and other scripting... only thing I've learned up to today is to find a mod, test it and if it works well use it until i find better. This is my little I can do for the community... Maybe I'll learn from this baby-in-sandbox project something that will allow me to do a bit more for community than this... I agree, it's nothing much fancy, but it might help someone, that's why I posted it here.
imrock: It's kernel is krabappel2548's XperiaSSpeed Kernel V6, so yes, it is overclocked by default and can be overclocked up to 1899 MHz, which me personally finds quite hazardous Anyway default overclock is somewhere around 1,7 GHz which is safe value The package also contains Voltage Control free edition, which will allow you to alter those values to your taste

What is the difference between this "ROM"and the other ones like Eratcher and DualCore "ROMS"
It is supposed to be as much stock as possible, while getting some extra functionality, to be honest, i'm not keen using AOSP - themed rom, if i would want to, i'd bought galaxy nexus... i've bought xperia cause i like it's design... by the way, being arrogant and rude is not the best way how to support someone trying to learn something...

i think he(Felimenta97) is asking for the kernel because ladynaamah has the ka kernel with default sony logo.
You may extract zImage file from archive and flash it via fastboot using command
Code:
fastboot flash boot zImage
provided you have connected your device in fastboot mode
geekygrl: I'm aware of that, but what shall i do? Type here guide how to extract it, modify it, repack it and flash it separately? That's not making much sense, would excessively complicate process that is supposed to be simple...
