hello, basically my question is that, how to apply the fix to a stock froyo rom...i think that it must be done trougth open recovery but i wanted to be sure. thankss
it can be done through the console of open recovery, or through a terminal editor if you have root.
edit: simpler way for stock roms
copy the dsifix.ko to your sdcard
mount the /system partition as read/write
run these commands:
Code:
cp /sdcard/dsifix.ko /system/lib/modules/dsifix.ko
chmod 644 /system/lib/modules/dsifix.ko
echo "insmod /system/lib/modules/dsifix.ko" >> /system/etc/rootfs/init.mapphone_umts.rc
correct me if im wrong, but the second directory, system/rootfs/, isnt that only for cyano based roms?? because in stock roms it doesnt exist. thanks for the reply.
ah you're right, sorry
hmm you could try using the 'install mods autostarts - not needed in many roms' script thats in androidiani openrecovery, and then running these commands:
Code:
cp /sdcard/dsifix.ko /system/lib/modules/dsifix.ko
chmod 644 /system/lib/modules/dsifix.ko
cd /system/etc/init.d
touch 1dsifix
echo "insmod /system/lib/modules/dsifix.ko" > 1dsifix
chmod 750 1dsifix
I'm not entirely sure this will work, but try it and see.
Hi,
to sum it up:
To use additional kernel modules (e.g. dsifix.ko) you need to tweak the startup scripts (e.g. init.mapphone_umts.rc)
To use tweaked startup scritps like modified init.mapphone_umts.rc you'll need a ROM that makes use of 2nd init process.
Stock ROMs do not use 2nd init, because it's a hacked feature and stock ROMs are usually not hacked
On stock ROM there's also no /system/etc/init.d nor /system/etc/rootfs directory, because they are no used there.
Hope this helps
P.S.: Don't know about this androidiani stuff ...
EDIT: Search button is so nice... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1003338
Regards,
scholbert
great i will try this evening, thanks for the repliess.
Sent from my Milestone using XDA App
the androidiani mod enables 2nd-init, which means it checks for scripts in the init.d folder
that link is only for the display update fix, which causes tearing, not for the kernel module fix thats popped up recently. However, we can modify coldsphinx's instructions to suit our purposes.
as usual, you'll need to move the dsifix to /system/lib/modules
Code:
cp /sdcard/dsifix.ko /system/lib/modules/dsifix.ko
chmod 644 /system/lib/modules/dsifix.ko
then rename the mot_boot_mode file to mot_boot_mode.bin
Code:
mv /system/bin/mot_boot_mode /system/bin/mot_boot_mode.bin
then create the file /system/bin/mot_boot_mode
and add this to the file:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
export PATH=/system/bin:$PATH
mot_boot_mode.bin
insmod /system/lib/modules/dsifix.ko
and then finally set the permissions
Code:
chmod 755 /system/bin/mot_boot_mode
it will work.
GReat! thanks!
Hi folks,
here's an easy-to-install busybox for your Galaxy Tab 2. NOW with Cyanogen Mod support.
ChangeLog:
BusyBox 1.21.0-git Nano1 (2012-07-28): initial release
BusyBox 1.21.0-git Nano2 (2012-07-29): applied various patches:
BUGFIX: flush all open files after listing them (ls)
BUGFIX: when setting hostname from file p**** whole name
COMPAT: ps now accepts (= ignores) all options a POSIX ps should
allow passing -mthumb to make
ash applet now exports HOME
silently ignore processes from inittab with terminal names without matching device file
default behaviour of 'showkey' applet changed from displaying interpreted keycode to decimals
do not show a message when testing an uninitialized variable
changed some terms in top applet output (rss vs. vsz)
BusyBox 1.21.0-git Nano3 (2012-08-05): major fix
NEW: rfkill applet¹
several minor modifications to applet
BUGFIX fixed a bug in busyinstall that left system without 'sh' upon uninstall²
provide busybox-patches to the world
BusyBox 1.21.0-git Nano4 (2012-08-15): minor fix / cm 10 edition
updated to latest git (some bugfixes)
BUGFIX: reading profile now works
BUGFIX: adjusted shell paths
BUGFIX: history now works
BUGFIX: no longer replace reboot on stock rom³
NEW: Cyanogen Mod edition (tested on cm10)
¹ Either redo 'busyinstall install', or do 'ln -sf /system/bin/busybox /system/bin/rfkill'
² You can find the original sh in you CWM backup, or here: http://www.nanolx.org/downloads/P3110/original-sh
If you didn't get /system/bin/sh.orig after 'busyinstall install', use this file as /system/bin/sh.orig
³ push new busyinstall into tablet to ensure future install/uninstall is fine. then do 'mv /system/bin/reboot.orig /system/bin/reboot'
from within 'adb shell' as root to get original reboot back.
Prerequisites:
* root access on your Tablet
Download:
busybox (normal): http://www.nanolx.org/downloads/P3110/busybox-nano4
busybox (debug): http://www.nanolx.org/downloads/P3110/busybox_unstripped-nano4
busyinstall (installer/stock): http://www.nanolx.org/downloads/P3110/busyinstall
busyinstall (installer/cm10): http://www.nanolx.org/downloads/P3110/busyinstall-cm
profile (optional): http://www.nanolx.org/downloads/P3110/profile¹
busybox (patches): http://www.nanolx.org/downloads/index.php?dir=P3110/busybox-patches/
¹ profile is a generic file, read on each startup of busybox. Mine sets HOME to /,
and puts /system/xbin/ in front of /system/bin/ in PATH. You can also adjust the
prompt (PS1) or whatever here, it's valid for all users. You could check for
'$(id -u) == 0' to adjust prompt for root, if not 0, for ordinary user.
Ordinary user should get 'busybox (normal)', rather than 'busybox (debug)'.
NEW INSTALLATION (STOCK ROM):
Putting busybox on internal sd-storage:
Code:
adb push busybox /mnt/extSdCard/
adb push busyinstall /mnt/extSdCard/
replace "extSdCard" if you saved busybox somewhere else
Code:
adb shell
su
chmod 0777 /mnt/extSdCard/busybox
chmod 0777 /mnt/extSdCard/busyinstall
/mnt/extSdCard/busybox remount -o rw,remount /system
/mnt/extSdCard/busybox mv -f /mnt/extSdCard/busybox /system/bin/
/system/bin/busybox mv -f /mnt/extSdCard/busyinstall /system/bin
busyinstall install
NEW INSTALLATION (CYANOGEN ROM):
Putting busybox on device:
in Settings > Development > set 'root access' to 'apps + adb'
Code:
adb root
adb shell
busybox mount -o rw,remount /system
exit
adb push busybox /system/xbin/busybox.nano
adb push busyinstall /system/bin/busyinstall
adb push profile /system/etc/profile # optional, if downloaded profile
adb shell
chmod 0777 /system/bin/busyinstall
busyinstall install
UPDATE:
Just download busybox, busyinstall and replace the ones in /system/bin/ - it will instantly work:
Code:
adb push busybox /system/bin/
adb push busyinstall /system/bin/
adb shell
su
toolbox chmod 0777 /system/bin/busybox # if you use windows, the executable bit might be missing in the uploaded file
chmod 0777 /system/bin/busyinstall
UNINSTALLATION:
Code:
ab shell
su
busyinstall --
That's it!
I tested everything and it does work perfect, either way a backup (CWM) is always recommened, when working around with stuff down the stack.
Suggestions welcome.
Out of curiosity, what is the difference between what this does and what BusyBox (by Stericson) from the Play Store does?

mine is a newer version
has all features of busybox (stericsons free version does not have all applets in busybox enabled, eg. 'sh' applet is missing)
installation 100% GT-P3XXX optimized
As of now, mostly personal preference I'd say.
Edit: But I'm currently applying stuff from busybox-power (maemo) which adds serveral bugfixes and stuff to busybox.
OK, improved version of busybox available in post 1 (+ changelog)
OK, thanks for letting me know!
I actually haven't done much with my Tablet lately as I've been busy with my phone as that now has CM10 too
But once I get my phone all set I'll use your BusyBox and give it a go!
Also, you said your busybox version is newer...but busybox via my phone is version 1.20.2. Just letting you know!
Thanks for this btw, I'd rather have a modified version optimized for my tablet versus a more universal version so to speak. Plus, with your updated applets! Thanks!

Oh, ... mine is 1.21.0-git - fixed the typo
First,thank you for your work,second I've a question: I've an p3100 (wifi+gsm) ,it rooted on stock 4.0.4 ,and no busybox installed.It has 16gb onboard ,and I don't have at the moment any external microsd in slot,I've ordered an 32gb,but it hasn't come yet.Can you please tell me if it's safe puting your files in /sdcad (not ExtSdCard like you wrote) and give the commands using ''sdcard'' word ?
For e.g:
db shell
su
/mnt/sdcard/busybox remount -o rw,remount /system
I need busybox to backup my /efs folder ,but I don't want to screw something,so please tell me if it is safe to use internal memory (sdcard) for busybox install?Also ,when I'll receive the microsd ,I will need to install again busybox with your original commands from this topic ?
Thanks a lot!!
Best Regards!

Of course you can. It does not matter where you put busybox. All that matters is, that you adjust the commands to your path.
In your you would push the files using ADB, like
Code:
adb push busybox /mnt/sdcard
adb push busyinstall /mnt/sdcard
also you don't need to re-do this when you got your sd-card, because during the steps you move busybox/busyinstall into /system/bin/.
Edit: updated instructions to clarify this.
Ok,thank you for your time,everything it's clear now.I'll try later,when I'm going home.
Cheers!

OK,first problem:when I try to execute the first comand,it gives me ''permission denied'',so after a little reading,because my kernel it's stock,I've installed Chainfire's ''adbd Insecure v1.0 '' http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1687590 to give me rights.After that I've no more errors,but,when I execute first command in adb,it says nothing,just hanging,and adb doesn't come back to # symbol ,and because of that I can't execute the next command.Any ideea what I'm doing wrong?Thanks!
What command failed?
Gesendet von meinem GT-P3110 mit Tapatalk 2
I don't know how to explain,it not really failed, but when I type
/mnt/sdcard/busybox remount -o rw,remount /system the adb doesn't return anything back,and doesn't come back to # symbol ,it just staying,nothing more,no response.I was waiting 2 minutes,and nothing ,doesn't return to # .I can type the next command
/mnt/sdcard/busybox mv /mnt/sdcard/busybox /mnt/sdcard/busyinstall /system/bin/
it's the same,no output,nothing.
Can you please tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks again!
Now I'm stuck,even with adbd insecure activate I cannot execute commands:
C:\Documents and Settings\X\Desktop\ADB>adb shell

Maybe I need first to install Stericsson's busybox from Market?At the moment,as I said before I don't have busybox installed at all,only su.
One more thing,every time when I save from your link busyinstall,no matter what browser,the file is saved as busyinstall.txt
It is normal ,or I need to rename it?
Thanks a lot!
Hmm... seems I forgot a little thing.
do this after you put busybox on tablet, before anything else:
Code:
adb shell
su
chmod 0777 /mnt/sdcard/busybox
then follow the rest of the instructions.
/goingtofixfirstpost
Same story,take a look:
[email protected]:/ # chmod 0777 /mnt/sdcard/busybox
chmod 0777 /mnt/sdcard/busybox

I don't know if this is what you want,but here we go:
I'm going to check your logs soon and report back.
Meanwhile I updated to Nano3 - see first post.
I got no clue why it does not work for you, but me.
What boot image and ROM are you using? Default boot/ROM, rooted boot/ROM, cyanogen?
I only tested default ROM with my boot. Currently testing cyanogenmod 10, but except some adjustments to busyinstall it will work there, too.
Sorry for the late reply,I'm on vacation until Sunday,and my acces to internet it's very limited here.Now,regarding my problem,first when I got the tablet it was on stock 4.0.3 ,wich I rooted manually to keep the counter to 0 (for warranity) ,and after that I updated to stock 4.0.4 using Mobile Odin Pro,with Everoot option ( it's rooting the rom on the fly) .So now I'm rooted on stock 4.0.4 ,stock recovery, and no busybox installed.I fell more secure and want to install your busybox version,because it's specialy designed for tab2,and it's has features from Maemo (I'm a big fan,I owned an N800,and I've also an N900 ).Maybe,if you have the time and the skills,you can pack it on an .apk version,if it's possible,of course.I will try more Sunday,when I'll be back home.Thanks again for your patience and help.Best Regards!
It will be great if we have a kernel (even stock) with CWM and this busybox...
I am also rooted with flash counter 0 and stock recovery.
Sent from my GT-P3110 using Tapatalk 2
Maybe some contributor creates a flashable zip (for CWM).
So... uploaded 1.20.1-Nano4. See first post for changes.
This time an addtional install-script for cyanogen mod was added, along some fixes.
ah... and: 100th post
So yea I've been working on a proper "app2sd" solution that doesn't involve just switching the MicroSD for the eMMC, but I like the stock rom so far, so I didn't feel like flashing a rom just to get init.d, and I didn't feel like modifying the ramdisk in the kernel either. So I cooked up this script that anyone can run from terminal to get init.d support. It should work for other devices too, as long as they run /system/etc/install-recovery.sh on boot.
There's only three requirements for it to work:
#1 You must be rooted
#2 Your device must run /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
#3 You must have busybox
I tested a few times on my own device (GT-N8013), but haven't had anyone else test it, so don't freak out if it doesn't work. Just let me know what went wrong and I'll figure something out.
Running it is very simple:
#1 Open any terminal app
#2 su
#3 navigate to the folder where you have the script
#4 sh ./enableinit.sh
Your device will be rebooted once the process is done, don't freak out. If everything went fine, you'll have a file in /sdcard called init.d.log created by the test init.d script that is made by the enabler.
You can either download the attachment (rename it to enableinit.sh if you get the attachment), or create the file with the contents betlow:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
# Adds init.d support to any device that automatically runs /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
# on startup.

Can any one make .zip file to flash thru recovery..thanks
The point was not to have to go into recovery...
Anyway, it's really simple...
Download the attached file
open terminal
then do the following commands
Code:
su
cd /sdcard
sh ./Download/enableinit.sh.txt
assuming that your browser saves files to /sdcard/Download
Sorry, I am a computer idiot . I really donot how to do after I had downloaded the text file. Appreciated if you can explain more detail.

So now with init.d support ready, is it going to be possible to run proper a2sd scripts? And which one specifically would you recommend? Excuse me if i'm asking the wrong questions.

It has nothing to do with knowing anything about computers, as you don't need a computer to do this... just your device...
Download the file, on your device, if you're using stock browser it will go to /sdcard/Download
Make sure you have busybox, download a busybox installer from the market, install it, and run it, and tell it to install busybox
Download a terminal app from the play store for free, such as android terminal emulator, install it and open it
then type in these exact commands, just like they're in here, in the terminal:
Code:
su
sh /sdcard/Download/enableinit.sh
Assuming of course, that your stuff is getting download to /sdcard/Download.
If you can't do this... sell your android device and buy an iCrap one...

I'm working on my own app2sd script that should beat anything ever made. Here's what it does:
It uses a second partition in the MicroSD card for gaining extra storage, this partition has to be formatted to ext4
#1 It mounts the external ext4 partition to a new location
#2 It detects the location for /sdcard/Android; /data/data; /data/app no matter what device you have (suppose the directories aren't the same for a certain device)
#3 It has the option to mount /sdcard/Android to a folder in the external partition
#4 It has the option to mount /data/data to a folder in the external partition
#5 It has the option to mount /data/app to a folder in the external partition
#6 It has the option to automatically copy everything from any of those folders to the appropriate folder in the external partition
#7 It has the option to automatically wipe from the internal storage anything that it moves
#8 If you have all options enabled, apps will be automatically installed to the external partition and never take any space in the internal storage, while everything else (Download/recovery/backup/pictures/videos/etc...) all remain in the internal partition.
Wow... cant wait for this script

Thanks for explaining. Interesting indeed! Will definitely wait for it eagerly!
Here's a preview of the super app2sd script I'm working on. Much of it is already implemented, should have it all in a couple of days
confusing
I have tried your script and it has successful at first.. then i flashing my note again with stock rom and i try using ur script again but now there is nothing chance.. do you know why?? what must i do now??
You know, this is the damnedest thing, but your instructions call for Busybox installation, and I can't install Busybox on my N8013. And tips you can share?

Only reason you wouldn't be able to install busybox is if you're not rooted.

Dear Community, dear Developers outside..
I'm using Magisk 14.0 on a Redmi Note 4 Snapdragon and super satisfied with it.
I just want to make simple changes like changing the lowmemorykiller minfree parameters - just like an init.d script in Kernel Adiutor..
Most of the commands are effective - but some of them are not..
This is what I want to apply for example:
chmod 666 /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree

I do know that all I have to do is to put my script to one of these dirs - depending on when I want to run the scripts:
/magisk/.core/service.d
/magisk/.core/post-fs-data.d
But, as I mentioned - most of them has effect, some of them has no..
Any comment, any suggestion is more than appreciated.
Thank you!
[SOLVED] - solution is in post #5
Desperate bump..
I searched for help docs for service.d and post-fs-data.d but counldn't find them, can I ask you when each folder is executed, also does the scripts inside them must have .sh extension or not ?
I want to restart my systemui after boot complete, can you tell me if this script is ok ?
Code:
#!system/bin/sh
sleep 20
su
pkill -l TERM -f com.android.systemui
ps : the pkill command works fine after an "su" in terminal emulator
sorry for the offtopic !
@sheraro
https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/blob/master/docs/README.MD
First of all: the solution for my issue was a simple sleep 30 in the services.sh to delay the start.. and I used an auxiliary file as well to make the changes (called from services.sh with 30sec delay, copied with the update-binary file directly, set permission to 0777 via config.sh) after that is all started working..

So, second thing, @sheraro, I think you should delete the command su from your script because Magisk scripts are running as root anyway and if you issue su command it will start a shell with elevated privileges - an interactive shell, not what you want here, a sudo like command.. it works in the terminal because it is interactive but in the shell script if you start su it starts an interactive shell and it halts your script because it won't exit the shell you started.. and the next command will never run.. if you know what I mean.. but you don't need it anyway, because - as I mentioned - it is running as root anyway. +1: The syntax of the shebang is bad in your example, it is missing an exclamation mark. Can you re-test it like this:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
sleep 20
pkill -l TERM -f com.android.systemui
exit 0
.sh extension is not needed, the thing is: you have to set the correct permission in the config.sh like this:
Code:
set_permissions() {
# Default permissions, don't remove them
set_perm_recursive $MODPATH 0 0 0777 0777
[..omitted..]
Thing is: the files must have execute priv. and you can execute them like
Code:
$MODDIR/./desiredfilename
in the services.sh script.
Hope this helps.

I'm just pasting my script in service.d only, set permissions manually to 0777, corrected !#/system typo, removed su command, but no luck...
Where's services.sh and config.sh ?

Reading your comment I think you are not developing a Magisk module, do you?
I do and this is why you have no idea where is config.sh, services.sh and the others I think.
If you just want to have some kind of "init.d script" support and run the script in your own phone *only* then your script should be in the folder /magisk/.core/service.d and it should have execute permission. That's all what you need - probably the sleep 20 is not enough, increase it to sleep 30 for instance.
If this is still not enough info I would suggest to read the Magisk documentation thoroughly (linked in post #4) and if you still stuck I suggest you to open your own thread, describe your problem thoroughly (what is your goal? what would you like to achive? how did you already try? what is happening but should not or not happening but you think it should happen? you know what I mean..) and ask the community. Probably you will be able to solve your issue in minutes/hours.
I changed it to sleep 100, same problem, you're right I should create a new thread for this.
I have a theme installed that mimics oreo style, but the systemUI is not themed until it's restarted, so I thought about a script executed after boot, anyway thanks for your help
It seems that sleep will delay the run of other modules' service.sh. is there any solution that will not affect other module?

I don't experience this behavior - what you described is the post-fs-data behavior.
I did the trick with a separate ("auxiliary") file and tried to explain how in post #5 but let me try again:
- created a file in the module's common folder (I gave the name `tweak`)
- this file starts with a shebang (it's a script..) and continues with a sleep 30 then comes my commands..
- then copied the file from the module to the Magisk module directory into /magisk/$MODDIR with the module file META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary (I added it to the copy section, manually.. I know, I know, it should work automagically anyway, but did not work and I was fed up with the coding, so hardcoded it.. sorry)
- I set the default file permission to 0777 in config.sh (yes, 0777, this is loose AF but works.. and I don't really care, the file contains code that can make the device *better* and has no suid bit set, so there is only little to no room to harm anything..)
- then I included a call in my module's common/service.sh like $MODDIR/./tweak to start my script
- when the tweak script starts it will start with the sleep 30 so implements the delay.. BUT!
- Because services.sh files from the modules are called parallelly by Magisk (by default, by it's nature, by it's code.. you got it) my module does not delays others - but still has the delay.
Hope this helps.

Pleased to help you - but honestly, if the only task you need is to kill and restart systemUI then I would do it via init.d script run by an app that mimics init.d scripting, or using a kernel that supports init.d scripts (if only you want to use that theme). It's just less complex for you I think, but honestly, a simple script file that has execute permission in /magisk/.core/services.d/ gives you 100% the same solution.

..then it is in the wrong dir.. it is clearly described in the Magisk documentation.
I have researched a bit. I think you can use getprop sys.boot_completed to check if boot is completed. We should run init.d scripts after boot is completed instead of just wait for 30/100 seconds.
I place all my init.d scripts I want to run in /magisk/.core/service.d/init.d.
Then, I have a service.d script [exec_init_d.sh] in /magisk/.core/service.d. Magisk will run exec_init_d.sh when boot.
exec_init_d.sh will wait for sys.boot_completed and run all the files in /magisk/.core/service.d/init.d after boot completed
exec_init_d.sh
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
# Please don't hardcode /magisk/modname/... ; instead, please use $MODDIR/...
# This will make your scripts compatible even if Magisk change its mount point in the future
MODDIR=${0%/*}
# This script will be executed in late_start service mode
# More info in the main Magisk thread
if [ "$1" != "1" ]; then
$0 1 &
log -p i -t Magisk "start new instance to let Magisk boot stages proceed"
exit
fi
#param
RUNLOG=0
RETRY_INTERVAL=5 #in seconds
MAX_RETRY=60
EXEC_WAIT=3 #in seconds
INIT_D_DIR=$MODDIR/init.d
LOG_PATH=$MODDIR/debug.log
#init
retry=${MAX_RETRY}
#wait for boot completed
log -p i -t Magisk "wait for boot completed"
while (("$retry" > "0")) && [ "$(getprop sys.boot_completed)" != "1" ]; do
sleep ${RETRY_INTERVAL}
((retry--))
done
if (("$retry" == "0")); then
log -p i -t Magisk "boot not completed within maximum number of retry"
else
log -p i -t Magisk "boot completed"
fi
sleep ${EXEC_WAIT}
log -p i -t Magisk "init.d execution started from ${INIT_D_DIR}"
if (("${RUNLOG}" == "1")); then
/data/magisk/busybox run-parts $INIT_D_DIR &> $LOG_PATH
log -p i -t Magisk "init.d execution output written to $LOG_PATH"
else
/data/magisk/busybox run-parts $INIT_D_DIR
fi
log -p i -t Magisk "init.d execution completed"
This thread will allow you to set up init.d (and services.d) scripts on your phone so they can run at boot time.
Prerequisites
- understanding of what "init.d" scripts mean ...
- your phone must be rooted (see https://www.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t-unlock-bootloader-root/)
- you must have a working Magisk (see https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk)
- linux knowledge (I am not a Windows guy but instructions below should easily apply to Windows / PowerShell)
- adb knowledge
If this scares you, stop reading and go play with something else.
Attached zip file contains
- a magisk.img file
- a directory with init.d scripts
- a directory with services.d scripts
You can use the scripts provided or not use (some) of them, or write your own.
What's the difference between init.d and services.d scripts?
The idea is to have 2 directories on your phone with scripts:
Code:
/system/etc/init.d/
/system/etc/services.d/
The init.d scripts are run early in the boot (when Magisk initializes). The scripts in /system/etc/services.d/ will run a bit "later", to be precise: when sys.boot_completed = true.
Important warrning: even when sys.boot_completed = true, this does NOT guarantee that /sdcard is mounted. Your script can "sleep" until /sdcard is mounted if it relies on things on /sdcard. See for example the code in /system/etc/services.d/LS99maxvolumewarning which will show how you can do that.
Scripts in init.d should NOT rely on any of the file systems being mounted !
The framework will run all scripts in parallel. So be careful that you do not write scripts which depend on eachother!
The framework will run all scripts as background processes so that they do not hinder the normal boot of your phone.
Prepare the basic setup
To use the scripts (or your own), you must first create the directories init.d and services.d; to do that open a linux shell and do:
Code:
> adb shell
$ su
# mount -o rw,remount /system
# mkdir /system/etc/init.d/
# mkdir /system/etc/services.d/
# chown 0.0 /system/etc/init.d
# chown 0.0 /system/etc/services.d
# chmod 755 /system/etc/init.d
# chmod 755 /system/etc/services.d
# sync; exit
Putting the scripts on your phone
Download the attached zip file (initd.zip); create a directory in your linux file system and unzip, e.g.
Code:
> mkdir mydir
> cd mydir
> unzip ~/initd.zip
> adb push init.d/ /sdcard/
> adb push services.d/ /sdcard/
> adb shell
$ su
# mount -o rw,remount /system
# mv /sdcard/LS00* /system/etc/init.d/
# mv /sdcard/LS99* /system/etc/services.d/
# chown 0.0 /system/etc/init.d/*
# chown 0.0 /system/etc/services.d/*
# chmod 755 /system/etc/init.d/*
# chmod 755 /system/etc/services.d/*
# sync
# exit
$ exit
Installing the magisk image on your phone
First important remark: I need to turn this really into a proper magisk "module" but I need to study that first. Open a linux shell and do:
Code:
> cd mydir
> gunzip magisk.img.gz
> adb push magisk.img /sdcard/
> adb shell
$ su
# cd /data/adb
# mv magisk.img magisk.img.orig
# cp /sdcard/magisk.img .
# chown 0.0 magisk.img
# chmod 644 magisk.img
# sync
# exit
$ exit
That's all !!! If you now reboot your phone your init.d and services.d scripts will run.
How can I tell this is working?
Each script has a log file in /data/; whose name is LS00 (for init.d) or LS99 (for services.d) appended with the name of the script. That log file is passed as "$1" into the script and the script code can write to this log file using:
Code:
LOGFILE=$1
echo "Hi I am writing to the log" | tee -a $LOGFILE
To check that the log files are there, open a linux shell and do:
Code:
> adb shell
$ su
# ls /data/LS*
And you should see something like:
Code:
16 /data/LS00blockdev 4 /data/LS99bootclean 4 /data/LS99maxvolumewarning 4 /data/LS99sysctl
4 /data/LS00governors 4 /data/LS99callrecording 4 /data/LS99network 4 /data/LS99trimcaches
4 /data/LS00kerneltweaks 4 /data/LS99cputweaks 4 /data/LS99overlays 4 /data/LS99turnoffnightmode
4 /data/LS00procgate 4 /data/LS99enablecallrecording 4 /data/LS99remounts 4 /data/LS99workqueue
4 /data/LS00readahead 4 /data/LS99hdparm 4 /data/LS99resetprop
4 /data/LS00resetprop 4 /data/LS99magiskhide 4 /data/LS99sqlite
To check the contents of the log files, do:
Code:
> adb shell
$ su
# cat /data/LS*
And you will see logging info:
Code:
>> Starting /system/etc/init.d/LS00procgate at 19700110-17:21:12
-- remounting: mount -o remount,hidepid=2,gid=3009 /proc
<< Ending /system/etc/init.d/LS00procgate at 19700110-17:21:12
>> Starting /system/etc/services.d/LS99maxvolumewarning at 20181201-07:34:00
-- slept for 4 seconds waiting for /sdcard/Android
-- disabling max volume warning
<< Ending /system/etc/services.d/LS99maxvolumewarning at 20181201-07:33:58
What's next
Write your own scripts (and share them). Note that scripts must be owned by root (chown 0.0) and have 755 linux permissions (chmod) to run.
How does it really work?
No secrets ... magisk.img is actually a magisk module which runs the scripts. To see the inner details, do the following after you have installed the magisk image and rebooted your phone:
Code:
> adb shell
$ su
# ls -l /sbin/.core/img/template/
total 12
0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2018-03-12 21:19 auto_mount
4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 935 2018-08-06 17:59 post-fs-data.sh
4 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 498 2018-08-05 10:11 scriptwrapper*
4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2750 2018-08-11 12:07 service.sh
Magisk will run the post-fs-data.sh first and service.sh later. Check the code of both of these files to understand how init.d and services.d are ran (using run-parts). If you want more details please read: https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/guides.html#scripts.
Disable ALL scripts from running
If you want to disable any script from running do:
Code:
> adb shell
$ su
# touch /data/noinitrd
To undo this and get your scripts running again, do:
Code:
> adb shell
$ su
# rm /data/noinitrd
What do my init.d scripts do?
Code:
LS00blockdev: change properties of block devices (non rotational, no kernel io stats, ...)
LS00governors: set all CPU governers (to schedutil; which is actually the 6T default)
LS00kerneltweaks: a few basic kernel tweaks + stop debug of kernel modules
LS00procgate: protections against the procgate security vulnerability (thanks to @topjohnwu)
LS00readahead: change the readahead amount on logical disk devicesw
LS00resetprop: reset model, brand, manufacturer (only useful if you would want to get your phone appear externally as a Pixel; check the code)
What do my services.d scripts do?
Code:
LS99bootclean: clean junk and log files
LS99cputweaks: improve scaling governor
LS99enablecallrecording: enable call recording (must be done at every device boot)
LS99execonce: a whole series of settings; this is only executed ONCE
LS99hdparm: increase readahead on /system and /data
LS99magiskhide: hide some packages from seeing root
LS99maxvolumewarning: remove the high volume warning (I am not sure this will always work !!!)
LS99network: TCP transmit queue and congestion control
LS99overlays: enable all overlays automatically (if you use substratum then no need to enable them manually)
LS99remounts: improve file system performance of multiple partitions
LS99resetprop: increase memory used by dalvik
LS99sqlite: REINDEX and VACCUM sqlite database files (the script only runs every 3rd day)
LS99sysctl: optimize linux kernel settings and TCP/IP performance
LS99trimcaches: trim android cache files
LS99turnoffnightmode: reset the night mode to OFF (night mode conflicts with dark mode in newer Google apps)
LS99workqueue: tune kernel work queue

Looks like a simple typo "/initd.zip" implies that the file is located in the root directory. "~/initd.zip" would be in your "home" directory. Since I don't know if "/mydir" is defined as your home directory and presuming initd.zip is located there try "unzip /mydir/initd.zip" (no quotes).
