So it looks like the system partition isnt restored, but instead some script must check the su and sh commands. I assume then that the recovery partition isnt flashing because its either in a different place (odin), or it needs to be signed properly.

Since we have a script that can run on boot, we can store a file on the sdcard called updat.zip, and extract it over system on boot.

However the playlogo (and any other file we choose) HAS to run AFTER the init.rc because the init.rc mounts the partitions.

That means running a custom rom is a little more tricky, because we need to kill system processes and restart them. I'm definatly up for making a custom rom, and have several ideas how to do it. I really want to port the sense UI actually.

As soon as i get a behold i'll start on it
