Q&A:
Q: How to use "boot custom ROM/kernel" option?
A: this is designed for ROM developers. This option executes a custom script (/system/kernel/boot.sh), which may be used for multiple puproses like:
- boot custom kernel
- boot custom ROM from SD Card
- dual-boot
- etc
Q: can you give an example?
A: Sure. Here's the simple boot.sh script to boot the custom kernel:
Code:
#!/sbin/sh
# zdzihu: boot custom kernel
insmod /system/kernel/splboot.ko
sync
cat /system/kernel/miniloader > /proc/splboot/image
cat /system/kernel/boot.img > /proc/splboot/boot_img
sleep 3
echo > /proc/splboot/boot
Q: What's edify scripting?
A: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936175
Q: Will it work with X8/X10mini/X100/T1000?
A: Yes and no. Yes, because it's compiled in compatibility mode (armv6).
But not this particular release. The init files must be changed by X8/X10mini/X100/T1000 devs first. Please check in the relevant threads.

you are a machine sir!!
Zdzihu and Jerpelea will go down in history as Gods of the X10

Thanks so much guys!!!!
You are the greatest!
Trying this out NOW!

Nice work and congrats.

Looks hot, NO offence, but will wait until v0.1 is out. Cause 0.0.1 gives me a little worries xD

Some people have report issues with SEUS (when connecting to restore).
Haven't tried it myself though as i prefer to flash with bin4ry's flasher. Much faster than SEUS.
PS:Although i think that you will need SEUS again, only for the next update.
Absolutely amazing work!!!!!, it works 100% even with apps2sd enabled for me thankyou for this ^^ just hope the bootloader gets cracked soon, or we get custom roms
Someone gimme their file to download..i cnt use megaupload to download..please..

It does not affect SEUS flashing in any way. SEUS works on bootloader-level, which cannot be modified in any way unless bootloader is cracked
Cheers,

Just use Bin4ry's x10 flashtool if you need to reinstall a fresh rom. It works a treat. Make sure to download the correct version though because obviously you won't be able to load an x10i rom on an x10 mini.
working perfectly thnx dude
This is going to overwrite my installed busybox which is larger in size compared to this one. In that case is there any chance that my "Titanium" is not going to work?
Seems that we may also get custom ROMs in future.
Lastly thanks to all who made this possible.
Thanks for the explaination Zdzihu
Glad to say it works flawlesly. Lets wait for that custom roms now, eh? ;-)

Usb mass storage fixed !
In .10 :Changed density back to 120, fixing dialer ASAP
In .10a :/sdcard symlink fix
Bugs:
Camera

Mixer is bit messed up
it reboots sometimes
it has problems with installing apps
Requirements:
Latest 2.1.1.A.0.6 SE firmware(seems to be that kernel is changed bit)

All, here is an update.zip that fixes the sdcard related issues:
To install, move to sdcard, i.e.
Code:
adb shell
# mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/sdcard
exit
adb push update.zip /sdcard/update.zip
and flash via xrecovery.

I'm not responsible if you brick ur device becouse it is you who are making decisions what to do with your device !
Is it have original HTC music player or music mod?
Is volume key working when playing music?
What about dialer is it fixed?
Sent from my unknown using XDA App
It doesnt have SENSE applications. And mixer works but vice a versa. It is bit messed up. When music is playing and you are trying to change volume it changes incall volume but in lockscreen it works .
Dialer is usable, but 1 2 and 3 are bit out of screen .
How can i install this rom? and is posible flash with SEUS after install it?

It is possible to restore your old firmware with your settings or flash original firmware back wuith SEUS or Binary's flashtool. I wrote instructions to first post.
This firmware has the xrecovery?? Or i have to flash with seus to restore my original firmware??
Multi/Dual Touch work ?
No Multi/dual touch.
This is a good try....at least a boost to the froyo thing!!!!

[DualBoot] Special update.zip to get ext2 images mounted in Recovery

FOR ADVANCED USERS ONLY
{ HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL }
THANK YOU anantshri for helping out
hey guys i have made an interesting update.zip which can be flashed (using xrec-v0.0.3) to mount the ext2 images at /system & /data RIGHT IN RECOVERY!!!
basically this allows u to gain a "recovery" type access to the ext2 images, so u can flash any update.zips including any roms update.zip RIGHT INTO THE EXT2 image
the only issue is that u need to remove "format SYSTEM:" / "format DATA:" / "format CACHE:" statements from update-script
before running my special mounting script:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
after running the script:
i have tested this by flashing a 2.1 modded rom (rdannar's ECLAIR flavor) [by modded i mean format commands removed from update-script]
[ WHAT IT DOES? ]
basically this is a normal update.zip which can be flashed via recovery
BUT during flashing it will run a special script which will do the following:
mount /data /system /cache
capture mount points/MTDs
unmount /system & /data
create temporary mount points for mtdsystem and mtddata in /mnt/t_system & /mnt/t_data
mount MTDs in the temporary location
start loopmounting:
mount /mnt/t_system/dualboot/system.ext2 to /system
mount /mnt/t_data/dualboot/data.ext2 to /data
interested people can check the special_mounter.sh in the update.zip package
[ REQUIREMENT ]
so the obvious requirement is that u need to have the ext2 images placed in the right folders
/system/dualboot/system.ext2
/data/dualboot/data.ext2
[ IMPORTANT ]
as always take backups of ur current system & be ready to use flashtool to go back to stock FW if things screw up
this will work for any rom 2.1/2.2/2.3 the ONLY ISSUE IS that we currently have modded dualboot ramdisk (custom kernel provided by zdzihu) ONLY FOR 2.1 ROM...
so u cant really boot into the embedded 2.2/2.3 rom cause the dualboot custom kernel ramdisk needs to be modded to support those...
i am trying to get that working and have contacted zdzihu... lets hope we can run ANY ROM inside these ext2 images soon
i havent tested if this can allow us to take backup/restore of the ext2 images... but if u do want to do so u can just copy the ext2 files manually to sdcard right!
i havent tested the provided update.zip (or the script) on FreeXperia recovery OR xRecovery v1.0.0...
u can keep checking the output of the commands: adb shell df
before/during & after flashing any roms update.zip to check if the free space is filling up or not
[ DOWNLOAD ]
(amend syntax)
DUALBOOT_mount_in_recovery_v2.zip
P.S.:
i dont want this thread to be filled with questions from noobs
follow the above ONLY IF U KNOW WHT U ARE DOING and how to get back to original system
Cheers!
DooMLoRD
seems most ppl either didnt realize the power of this special update.zip OR they are not sure how to use it!
in anycase i am providing two example files which will make it a bit more clear on how this special update.zip can be integrted into existing ROM installer update.zips and smaller update.zip for patches..
Examples of existing update.zip which are conveted into an update.zip (which has the special code) to flash it directly inside DualBoot ext2 files using recovery of MAIN OS
modded ROM installer
ROM used : X10x EWJet xKernel X.ex based on SE stock FW 2.1.B.0.1
Download : X10x.2.1.B.0.1.EWJET.XKernel.Xex_DB.zip
modded PATCH installer
PATCH used : ewX.tweaks.xkernel.X7
Download : ewX.tweaks_DB.zip
P.S.: these files are Amend syntax files to be flashed by xRecovery v0.0.3 OR FreeXperia Recovery
I highly recommend that u check the update-script of each update.zip which i have linked to!
Few considerations (FOR modded DUALBOOTING ROM's update.zip):
remove chargemon & recovery files from the update.zip of the ROM installers cause they will affect the booting of the embedded DUALBOOT rom
replace the chargemon with original SE chargemon (some roms keep it at /system/bin/charger)... just rename /system/bin/charger to /system/bin/chargemon
remove custom kernel folder (/system/kernel/) from ROM's update.zip cause anyways anything within it will never be used
Where can this be used?:
obviously this can be used to flash ROMs into the embedded dualboot ext2 files
the existing patches (baseband patches) can be modified to include these changes so that u can change basebands of the embedded dualboot OS
WARNING!
when u make ur own update.zips based on this BE VERY CAREFUL that REMOVE ALL FORMAT LINES from update-script AND THE mounter script get executed before the rom specific files start getting copied ELSE u will flash the ROM onto ur MAIN ROM and may need to relash to stock se FW using flashtool!!!

tnx OP
good work
can u plz fix RTL for this rom or make patch for it?
OP updated with RC2. Just flash the new version over the old.
@s-android, you mean "Right-to-Left" languages? Gellmar will release a separate version with other languages, but I'm not sure if he will include RTL languages, just European.
Overclocked version added to OP.
New nightly of StockMerge RC2

Man, I would try this, but only in the last case... I want to mod that kernel to add native Init.d support, but the normal methods ("exec /sbin/sysinit") don't work... BTW, thanks!
Good night all
I wonder if this method also works on a LG E400g. Is that the phone not mine but of my head and gives me some fear that it looks like brick
In advance many thanks for your attention.
As long as I know, the E400f, the E400r and the E400g share the same hardware, so you can give it a shot! But do a nandroid backup first, we don't know when things can go wrong... ;D
Have a question, how you modified this ROM to have access to the new data partition? I know it's something to do with vold and stuff, but why it doesn't work with the stock ROM or other ROMs here?
Guys i have a little question...i wanna do a personal merged version of stock of lg l3...but....how can i put for example italian language into the rom?thanks...
