Would it be possible for someone who is rooted on 2.3.4 to copy the startXServer.sh file in /etc/init.d and post it?
I used the HDMI Mirror hack over in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1169457 and for some reason the original one that was backed up in startXServer.bak was overwritten. I think it is the reason I cannot get my media center to work again.
Thanks.
I am on K. Penn's 4.5.91 beta 3, and this file does not exist for me in that location.

Thank you very much for this. Worked like a charm. I basically used it to rewrite the .sh file. You're a life saver. MODS please close if needed, unless someone else runs into the same issue.
I want to make app symlinks to sd-ext on booting.
I made a short init.d script, And It correctly worked on JB based rom.
But after I downgraded to GB, It doesn't work anymore.
I founded that pure bone shell doesn't support arrays.
The script uses string array to declare apk list I want to symlink.
So is there a way to use string array or make similar effect?
Here is my script.
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
if [ -z "$SD_EXT_DIRECTORY" ]; then SD_EXT_DIRECTORY=/sd-ext; fi
SYSBLOCK=`mount | grep system | cut -f 1 -d ' '`
sysapp2sd=("BackupRestoreConfirmation.apk" "BasicDreams.apk" "Bluetooth.apk" "CertInstaller.apk" "Calculator.apk" "CMFileManager.apk" "CMScreenshot.apk" "DSPManager.apk" "DrmProvider.apk" "Email.apk" "Email2.apk" "Exchange.apk" "Exchange2.apk" "Gmail.apk" "GoogleBackupTransport.apk" "InputDevices.apk" "Music.apk" "OneTimeInitializer.apk" "PhotoTable.apk" "PicoTts.apk" "SamsungTTS.apk" "SharedStorageBackup.apk" "SoundRecorder.apk" "Talk.apk" "ThemeChooser.apk" "ThemeManager.apk" "Torch.apk" "VpnDialogs.apk" "WAPPushManager.apk")

# make sure $SD_EXT_DIRECTORY is actually mounted
if ! awk -vDIR="$SD_EXT_DIRECTORY" '$2 == DIR { exit 1; }' /proc/mounts ; then
mount -rw -o remount SYSBLOCK /system
mkdir -p /sd-ext/symlink/system/app
# /system/app/ -> /sd-ext/symlink/system/app/
FILES=`find /system/app -maxdepth 1 -type f`
for file in $FILES; do
filename=`basename $file`
for pattern in ${sysapp2sd[@]}; do
if [[ $filename == $pattern ]]; then
cp /system/app/$filename /sd-ext/symlink/system/app/
rm -f /system/app/$filename
ln -s /sd-ext/symlink/system/app/$filename /system/app/$filename
fi
done
done
# /data/app/ -> /sd-ext/symlink/data/app/

fi
done
mount -r -o remount SYSBLOCK /system
fi
You can use echo or cat command to wrap list and grab it with awk.
and add another for loop over for loop for getting the counted numbers to be used on awk...
Greetings!
I have tried some ROMs -Ace I SCAPE, REINCARNATION, simplicity v5- and kernels -bieltv 3.0 for cm7, rafael 201211201515- but no matter what, after a few reboots my launcher -that is in the internal memory- and link2SD -that is in the internal memory too- just disappear, I don't know how could I track this since is not consistent -is like after 8-11 reboots-.
I don't have a clue of how to prevent this or what could be triggering it.
PS: Everytime I tried any of the above ROMs with their Kernels, I got back to the stock in ODIN 3.07 then did a fresh clean installation.
Logcat says it all
Try re-creating the case scenario, then using a PC, connect your phone (make sure to enable USB Debugging after the flash) and open a command line (Start->Run->cmd.exe if on windows)
Once open, try the instructions on this thread and upload the logcat here, try to make it as short as possible, I suggest you prepare it all before taking the logcat and once you find the issue, immediately do logcat
Good luck!

Right after the bug right? Because I wasn't sure if the logcat would explain why is after some reboots and not in the first one.
I'll be updating this post as it happens -usually is "conviently" when I finish installing all of my previous apps, then after 8-10 boots happens-.

it's a possible way, but note that it's useless after a reboot lol so it has to be right before you install your apps

I installed some apps to see if because I'm installing too many of them are making the phone to cause this -not quite sure if link2SD is working properly-. I had 140 apps before the upgrade -before switching between/roms kernels-, the reason why I upgrade was that I couldn't upgrade from the store the installed apps -it always told me I was running out of memory-.
Anyways, I have tried these days to recrate the scenario , one of the random reboots -when suddenly a message telling Link2SD was not responding- my launcher got out again, when I tried to logcat this by rebooting it worked again
But my whatsapp was gone
Here's the logcat available at paste bin of what I think are the problems:
http://pastebin.com/3jMNX7LV
If needed, I upload the whole thing in box:
https://app.box.com/s/i66rfop429c0wgwldqv4
Anyways I attach the logcat in pastebin
PS: I have read that VFY is missing / replacing in the logcat, for what I have read here
Could be superuser got messed up while flashing the cm7 kernel?

Try reflashing... Although the issues I've experienced with Link2SD are usually related to /data/ partition getting full when having too many apps..
If after reflashing, installing Link2SD and linking your apps again you still have issues, download Link2SD again from the Play store, you could also try the following after installing Link2SD and linking your apps: connect your phone to a PC and use adb shell, while the phone boots, once shell is up, do:
Code:
su
cd /data/
ls (make sure here that you have an sdext2 directory, if not, it means Link2SD is not installed properly)
cd sdext2
ls (make sure that you have a dalvik-cache directory in this place, if not, start Link2SD for a
cd /data/dalvik-cache/
for file in data*
do
if [! -h $file] (we make sure it's not a symlink already, you don't want looping links!!!)
cp $file /data/sdext2/dalvik-cache/
rm $file
ln -s /data/sdext2/dalvik-cache/$file $file
fi
done
try that without the text in the parenthesis lol
hope that helps, it could help anyone with space issues in /data/!!

For what I can understand everything is supposed to be linked right? hence this is shown "! not found"?
But I'm still not getting why randomly the SSlauncher is not working in some reboots -and when this happens my link2SD gets vanished too and the message low storage is shown-.
Should I make this everytime that happens? -if it happens again?-

you shouldn't need to do it every time, mainly when you install new apps, alternatively, you can check the apps' data directories to see which one is consuming a lot of space, you can do that by issuing the commands below:
Code:
su
cd /data/data
du -hc
that should tell you how much space every dir is using (I think, lol)
PS: HIGHLY IMPORTANT!!! You should no longer link dalvik-cache via link2sd with this, or you might experience Force Closes due to the apps' dalvik cache being missing, and I say being missing because if you link a dalvik-cache file that's already linked, Link2SD might move the link and overwrite the physical file, and you'll have a symlink loop
How can I add u2nl to init.d? I have an HTC Evo 4g LTE and need to make android 4.3 Viper4g Rom run my script on boot. I've tried to use Root Explorer and Root Browser apps to manually add them to the init.d folder, set permissions and changed owner and group to root. But my phone won't boot after I've added my script. The name of my script file is autostart.sh and this is what it contains.
#!/system/bin/sh
export PATH="$PATH:/system/bin"
iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT
iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT
iptables -F
iptables -t nat -F

sh -c "sleep 5;kill `ps|grep nk.bla.android.autostart|grep -v grep|awk '{print $2}'`" &

I know someone here has the knowledge to make this happen. Please advise and assist. Thanks. P.S. I have tried to rename the script to 99data and placed it init.d directory so it would run last but phone won't boot.?

have you tried a dummy test script that just echos a number to the sdcard file?
Thanks for replying. The script term-init.sh that I found elsewhere on XDA, had a test and set perms output file that can be found in /data/Test.log. I have solved the problem on my Evo 4g LTE but, not on my Sprint Galaxy S3. Turns out that I couldn't use Root Explorer to manually add the file! I had to REALLY MANUALLY add the file using the terminal emulator. That worked on the Evo but not the S3. I had placed the scripts in one postboot.rc files on S3 and it worked fine but, my battery seemed to be draining a lot faster, which was not acceptable. So I guess my problem is half solved. So, do you know how to make it work on the S3? Thanks in advance to anyone that can help me.
