Google Maps freeze in Froyo

I should check defy forums more often!
have been suffering with this since GMaps changed to vector based maps.
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/31432-faq-cyanogenmod-7/
16) My GoogleMaps (or other application that uses OpenGL) is freezing/irresponsive. What can I do?
Open terminal or adb shell and type these commands:
Code:
$ su
# mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
# echo sysctl -w vm.min_free_kbytes=4096 >> /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
# chmod 744 /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
# mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system

Wow, Froyo... Been a while...

[Q] Code means Deodex

Hi. What is the meaning of the following code? I mean, what is she?
This is the work that could paste the file or files. Odex to remove that?
adb shell
su
stop
mount -o rw,remount /system/ /system/
cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/
rm /system/app/*.odex
cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/
rm /system/framework/*.odex
mount -o ro,remount /system/ /system/
reboot

Re: Code means Deodex
"adb shell
su
stop
mount -o rw,remount /system/ /system/" are the commands to get superuser permissions and remount "/system/"
"cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/
rm /system/app/*.odex
cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/
rm /system/framework/*.odex" are the commands to push the deodexed .apk files and .jar files from "/sdcard/done_app/" and "\sdcard\done_frame\" to "\system\app\" and "\system\framework\" respectively. The odex files are not required and this also deletes them
"mount -o ro,remount /system/ /system/
reboot" remounts system and reboots your cell phone.
These commands need deodexed system files put in the required directories.
Search the forums or google on how to pull system files and deodex them :good:

[guide] how to deodex stock 4.3 firmware

To make this work you must be on stock rooted firmware!!!
I made a quick guide how to root stock 4.3 firmware, and can be found here
I'm not responsible for any damage caused by using this on your phone!!!
Let's start:
1 - you need deodexed app and deodexed framework. download and unzip. will result 2 folders (app & framework) wich must be copied on your phone (int sdcard)
2 - download adb from attach and unzip
3 - enable USB debugging mode (go to settings > about phone > tap on Build Number 7 times, until a message appears saying 'You are now a Developer.') than go to settings > Developer Options and enable USB Debugging Mode
4 - go to adb folder and open a command window (hold shift and right click on mouse button / choose "open command window here")
5 - connect your phone to pc with usb cable
>>> ml6_deodexed_zipaligned_apps_framework
>>> na1_deodexed_zipaligned_apps_framework
Now enter folowing codes:
>>> adb shell
>>> su (if you are using adb shell in su for the first time, keep phone screen on. after entering "su" code, super user request prompt in phone. press allow!!!)
>>> stop (touchscreen will not be active until reboot, don't worry!)
>>> mount -o rw,remount /system/ /system/ (mounting system r/w)
>>> cp /sdcard/app/* /system/app/ (copy deodexed system applications) (this will take 3 - 5 min)
>>> rm /system/app/*.odex (remove odex files)
>>> chmod 0644 /system/app/*.apk (this fix permissions in system/app)
>>> cp /sdcard/framework/* /system/framework/ (copy deodexed framework)
>>> rm /system/framework/*.odex (remove odex files)
>>> mount -o ro,remount /system/ /system/ (mounting system r/o)
>>> reboot (your phone will reboot) (this will take a little)
Code:
adb shell
su
stop
mount -o rw,remount /system/ /system/
cp /sdcard/app/* /system/app/
rm /system/app/*.odex
chmod 0644 /system/app/*.apk
cp /sdcard/framework/* /system/framework/
rm /system/framework/*.odex
mount -o ro,remount /system/ /system/
reboot
Now you have a deodexed stock rom!!!
do not forget to press thanks

i recommend to remove all knox files from your phone.
to do this you need an application to modify your system files ( i use root explorer )
to remove knox delete this files:
system > app > ContainerAgent.apk / ContainerEventsRelayManager.apk / KLMSAgent.apk / KNOXAgent.apk /
KnoxAttestationAgent.apk / KNOXStore.apk / KNOXStub.apk
system > containers (delete entire folder)
system > etc > secure_storage > com.sec.knox.store (delete entire folder)

Need help on userinit script.

I want a script that will rename a /system/app on boot in userinit (.d or.sh) in /data/local. This is my first script and was thrilled when I was able to get it to work in SManager. I copied the script to /data/local and renamed to userinit.d. Rebooted, checked the file, not renamed. More research, tried various ways, which also work in SManager, but not as a userinit script. I have included the three ways I have tried with attempt counts and used # on two of them. I didn't use these all at once but included them so you could see what I've tried including a delay o allow time for the "mount" to work. This doesn't work in SManager in boot mode. And returns that it cannot rename because it is ro.
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
#
#Renames DSPManager.apk to DSPManager.apk.bak
#export PATH=${PATH};/system/bin;/system/xbin
FN=/system/app/DSPManager.apk
if (FN.exists())
then
# attempt one
#busybox mount -o remount,ro -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
# attempt two
#busybox mount -o remount,rw / 2>/dev/null
#busybox mount -o remount,rw rootfs 2>/dev/null
#busybox mount -o remount,rw /system 2>/dev/null
# attempt three
busybox mount -o remount,rw /system
#thread.wait(3000)
mv $FN $FN.bak
busybox mount -o remount,ro /system
#thread.wait(3000)
#
#busybox mount -o remount,ro -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
#
#busybox mount -o remount,ro / 2>/dev/null
#busybox mount -o remount,ro rootfs 2>/dev/null
#busybox mount -o remount,ro /system 2>/dev/null
fi
Maybe I'm trying more than the userinit is supposed to do. I want this to survive and do its thing after Nightly updates. I use Speaker boost for volume and don't want DSPmanager taking extra memory.

Two things, first make sure you are using a root file manager and have set the directory to rw. Second, if you want the file to execute in /data/local you must name it userinit.sh and set the permissions of the file for execute. Or you can create a folder named userinit.d in /data/local and put multiple script files in that folder. Each script file must have its permission set to execute. To understand this, look at the contents of /etc/init.d/90userint.

I have the file permissions set to rwxr-xr-x (755) as well as the folder userinit.d set to the same. I have been using either Speed software's Root explorer (prefered) or Jrummy's Root Browser. I have named the script in the userinit.d folder "90RnamDSP". Again I can run the script in the root browser as a script and it renames the file. After set the file name back to the .apk I reboot, check in the /system/app and the file is not renamed. I have given the specific script I am using in the userinit.d folder.
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
#
#Renames DSPManager.apk to DSPManager.apk.bak
path=/system/bin:/system/xbin;
FN=/system/app/DSPManager.apk;
if [ -e $fn];
then
busybox mount -o remount,rw -t /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system;
sleep 5;
mv $FN $FN.bak;
busybox mount -o remount,ro -t /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system;
fi;

You have the mount commands wrong for a userinit script. It should be:
mount -o remount,rw /system
and
mount -o remount,ro /system
And you don't need the path statement. You don't need the busybox in front of mount either. And shouldn't $fn be capitalized in the if statement?

Thanks for your help and patience. Didn't need the sleep either. I will be posting this on my help post noted in my signature below. I will give you thanks there as well. Couple of final questions.
Can you recommend a how to script reference ie: init script for dummies?
Can you recommend a how to make an install zip and install script, (again for the untrained)?
I have included the final code to maybe help someone trying to do something similar.
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh

#Renames DSPManager.apk to DSPManager.apk.bak

Unable to mount System as rw in 7.1.1 DP

I am trying to create an overlay folder under /system/vendor so that I can throw a layers apk there to hide the nav bar. I am currently using the build.prop method which doesn't work nicely with the Now on Tap action of Swipe Navigation which is what I am ultimately trying to fix.
I tried using Solid Explorer to simply create the new directory like I did previously in 7.0 and 6.x but was unable to do so (action failed). I decided to try using the terminal and create the folder and move files from there but got the message that the system was read-only. I then attempted to mount system a few different ways all of which failed. I did use su before entering these commands.
Code:
angler:/system/vendor $ mkdir overlay
mkdir: 'overlay': Read-only file system
angler:/system/vendor $ mount -o rw,remount,rw /system
mount: '/dev/block/platform/soc.0/f9824900.sdhci/by-name/system' not user mountable in fstab
angler:/system/vendor $ /system/bin/mount -o rw,remount,rw /system /system
mount: '/system' not in /proc/mounts
angler:/system/vendor $ /system/bin/mount /system
mount: bad /etc/fstab: No such file or directory
Googling around didn't yield much in the way of solutions other than these different methods of mounting system. Am I just unable to mount system as rw in 7.1.1 currently, and if so, is there another way to accomplish what I want?

I'm trying to find thread I read this from, so if I find it I'll post link to it. When I was on early 7 previews that was set up with systemless root I went into twrp and then went to terminal and typed the following, touch su. When your in terminal cd to both bin and xbin and type command "touch su" without quotes. Then reboot and you should be able to use something like es file explorer to get into and write in /system. Hope that helps.
Found it, look to post = 15

Unfortunately that did not end up working for me, thanks for looking up the link for me though!

On Nougat the rw mount command should be typed like this:
mount -o rw,remount /system
then for touch:
touch sbin/su

Thank you blitz for clarifying.

Hmm... it seems like the mount worked but the touch did not. I ended up using just "touch su" but ran into a different error with mkdir. I think I may just be out of luck for now. Thank you both for your help!
Code:
~ # mount -o rw,remount /system
~ # cd /system/bin
/system/bin # touch sbin/su
touch: sbin/su: No such file or directory
/system/bin # touch su
/system/bin # cd /system/xbin
/system/xbin # touch su
/system/xbin # cd /system/vendor
/vendor # mkdir overlay
mkdir: cannot create directory 'overlay': No space left on device

I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish but still:
The touch sbin/su means creating an empty file called su in the sbin subdirectory under the current directory. So if there is no subdir named sbin under /system/bin, then it's not going to work
Secondly, you should know about the ls command: ls -la lists the files in the current directory, and remember than in unix and linux terminology, a directory is also a file so you'll also see directories (including current "." and parent "..")
Third, you should know about the df command which shows filesystem disk space usage. df -h will show you how much free space you have an all of your filesystems, including system.
Last, with great power comes great responsibilities. Running the wrong command as root will easily make your system unusable.
I have substratum installed and inside /system/vendor there is a link (again a file) called overlay which links to directory /system/overlay where apks are.

Are you on the 7.1.1 (NPF10C)? If so it sounds like you have accomplished what I am trying to do. I'm only familiar with the basic unix commands as I haven't actively used it in about 5 years. Would you mind sharing how to create the link to /system/overlay from /system/vendor, or does Substratum take care of that? Offhand it sounds like a symbolic link but my terminology is pretty rusty.

Yes 7.1.1.
Substratum created the overlay directory and the link to it.
Manually that would be:
mount -o rw,remount -t auto /vendor
mount -o rw,remount -t auto /system
mkdir /system/overlay
cd /system/vendor
ln -s /system/overlay
mount -o ro,remount -t auto /vendor
mount -o ro,remount -t auto /system
But links do take a very small amount of bytes (roughly name and target) so for that, you'll need some space in your vendor partition (no space left on /vendor). check with "df".
I have 3.8MB free (that's an original vendor + overlay link)

Well, this works and I was able to mount system and vendor, create the link, move the apk file, etc but it appears that the apk itself is not working on NPF10C. Thank you for your help and the refresher on the unix commands!
