I want to make a rom i know to tweak it all and its almost ready for release xD
But what about the meta-inf
In guides it says that any other roms meta inf will be fine ^^ but i dont think so
I noticed it sets permissions for files
What is cache_to_sd, bmlunlock, i know what installbusybox is
How do i make a update script with all of thease(and any more if i missed anything ) and to mount data cache and the system as ext4?
I saw other roms have thease futures(or features)

First of all hello XDA this is my first topic so i apologize if i break a rule or seem stupid.
As what my title says, how do i do it? The script most specifically is "Blazing Thunder". It doesnt state in the OP how to remove it. If you are asking why i am gonna remove it? Its because i plan to install a different but similar mod/script.
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE and GOOD DAY TO ALL!

Just locate that script using any root explorar nd delete it..
Mostly the scripts are in init.d folder

Then you will have to replace it with the originals
do it carefully , take a backup first .
another way would be replacing the files in the mod zip by original and then flashing it again by cwm .

Ok buddy,
Ive installed evo x3 from a fresh stock, then boot up 1 time.
After that installed all Ota updates from rom, another reboot and setup rom.
Then installed hells fusion 50#.
Reboot, put amarullz script
Give permissions rwx r-x r-x.
Reboot two times.
First reboot takes few minutes, second is a bit faster.
For detailed instruction read his thread.
I can live with longer boot time,
because i got more space.
Hope i could help you.
Umm so the a2sdx zip?? I tried to instal... It says install failed. Please upload the zip u flashed?:thumbup:

My fault sorry.
extract the zip and put the 40ad2sdx manually in init.d folder and ggive right permissions.
That should work.
Let me know if you have problems
Can we install without a data wipe?

You mean the script? If yes then yes.
Remember do everytime a backup if you change something, it saves a lot of time in the worst case
Some of your data will be moved to your 2nd partition in sdcard with this script.

Hi,
Can you give some more details
Did you build from source?
Port it from another devices?
Simply unzip a ROM for your device, make changes and rezip?
When you flashed the ROM was it a status7 error?
You say you made changes in the updatet-script, what were the changes?
The more details you give the better answers you will get

Dude I took my base rom as the standard custom rom for xolo q700i- the x rom and I ported it with the galaxy Quattro stable cm... it had almost the same specifications........ I had updated the updated script of x rom by cm rom but then I used original updater script of x rom... This guide I took was from YouTube on porting and he was from XDA.....
So you took a ROM from a similar device, replaced some files, apks and libs, then changed some things in the updater-script and rezipped and signed?
Is this about right?
If so you will need to be a bit more specific about what you changed in order to help you fix your issue, again, the more specific the better your help otherwise I and others helping can only give the best guess on what to do

so dude yes it is the status 7 error regarding the build.prop ....... so i need help to edit my updater script so should i use the updater script of the base rom .........or do some major editing ...
Thanks for supplying more information, now I have a better idea of how to help.
You should use the update-binary for your device, not the one ported,
All editing of the updater-script will need to be done in UNIX format, not windows as EOL differs, if your using windows be sure to use notepad++ and set it up properly,
I use 7zip normally not winrar but it shouldn't matter, you need to have compression set to store,
It has been years since I have tried to make a ROM in this fashion but I don't think much would have changed, the point your at now is to get it to flash (not get the ROM to work) this means you need to fix the status 7 error, which will be done by fixing your updater-script
If you want, post a copy of the meta-inf folder for your device and the one you are porting from an I can help further
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Thanks so much.......... Ur thnx meter is getting one more thanks
Dude should I replace the whole Meta in folder or only the updater script....
Take a meta-inf for your device and replace the updater-script from the other one and swap it. Then you'll more than likely need to edit it to flash on yours
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Sorry I didn't understand anything.... I just swapped the cm 11 meta inf file with the original meta inf file.....
Well you can't do this, you need to have the update-binary for your device specifically and you need to edit the updater-script to work with yours as well.
So keep meta-inf specific for your device, and only swap updater-scripts, then you need to edit this updater-script to match the partitions of yours as well as make sure there aren't any get_props that conflict.
I highly suggest reading up on updater-scripts so you understand the changes that need to be made

@demkantor has guided you very well.
U should take advantage of it.
I repeat once again.
get the update-binary from any other ROM specifically made for your device.
Then modify the existing updater-script.
Make sure Mount points are correct.
That's it.
USE NOTEPAD++ else surely if you would get status error.
Good luck
