1.3 is currently cooking.
as well as all the usual stuff, this version also deletes kernel-specific temporary files. this includes Siyah and void (NEAK does not create any temp files)
I will keep on researching for more stuff that can go, and post it up when its done.
Ever since I flashed neak and noticed the max clock wouldn't stay where my script was supposed to put it after boot, my phones been weirder than, well me. I've always been kind of old fashioned and clear the caches and delete the scripts manually but after reflashing siyah and deleting init.d scripts about 10 times the max clock was always 1200 after reboot and all the other crazy stuff still continued. I'm beginning to think neak unwittingly put some hidden script in there that I couldn't see to delete. So once with the cleaning script, reflash siyah and job done.

I think there was/is a problem with the way NEAK executes the files in the init.d folder. If I remember rightly, it only executed files beginning with 2 numbers (or something like that) so S* scripts (and hence voltage control's S91voltctrl) were being ignored in the startup procedure.
I think I remember seeing in the NEAK thread that this will be fixed in 1.4, so I'm not entirely sure if 1.3.2 would have addressed this yet.

Yeah I think I remember reading that. The problem was it persisted after changing the kernel to siyah. All logic should've said stick a different kernel on, it should be able to read it, but here we are.
Does the following
1. wipes cache+dalvik cache
2. removes all startup scripts from system/etc/init.d
3. removes old kernel-specific files (currently void, siyah and neak are supported)
4. removes /data/user.log
5. re-wipes cache+dalvik cache

I think I'll be sticking with the Wiper since I have no idea what startup scripts this AndyX rom uses o.O
Open up your rom zip file with 7zip, then go into system/etc/init.d
select all those files and drag them onto the desktop
then create a zip file of those files you placed on the desktop
give me a link to this file, and I will create a flashable zip for you
A Blitzer wipes init.d startup scripts. It is safer to wipe the lot as there is no knowing for sure what may be in there from previous kernels, thereby losing voltage controls settings (if saved this way) and custom ROM scripts. These ROM scripts are not essential to the ROM and will work perfectly well without them, but nonetheless they may still be worth keeping. Personally I just keep the zipalign script. I've not had time to study the others in checkrom v6 yet so I got them all currently. To get these scripts back after a blitz then run this script.
Remember Wiper does not wipe init.d folder but you run the risk of having old kernel files in there. If you know the state of your init.d folder, and you know that all it contains are vc and ROM scripts then Wiper is your better option. Blitzer is better when changing to a completely different kernel and it used init.d scripts, or you're not sure what scripts are already there.

Its definitely some sort of bot web crawler that's created those pakistan threads. That Chicken Biryani, i mean Hamari Biryani "bloke" has 134,000+ posts and many of those threads were created at the same time. So either he can type faster than a million monkeys and never takes a shit, or we have a crawler intrusion on here.
Now i've signed up I can say THANK you Hawker for the wonderful scripts + Checkrom script restoration files. Been using them often when required, thanks for all the work

Hawker, I am going for a new ROM, one which I haven't tried before. I know to use the GS2 Wiper when installing a new Kernel, am I right in thinking that with a new ROM I should run the GS2 Blitzer? or both? thanks

He there, first of all thanks on the scripts!
I have 1 question, first time when I moved from siyah to NEAK I flash GS2BlitzerV1.6 but without CheckROM RevoHD V6 startup scripts. KNow I would like to update to NEAK 1.4.2 and I will flash Blitzer again, can you confirm this:
1. run blitzer
2. flash CheckROM RevoHD V6 startup scripts
3. flash kernel.
(all from CWM , doing step by step without reboot)
Is that ok?

Apologies in advance for the noob question, but I'm going by the premise that if you don't ask, you don't get.
I've been having an issue with my SGS2, which I think stems from items not being cleared out. I initially rooted, and flashed a new ROM to my phone, and everything went swimmingly. However, now, if I try to flash any other custom ROMs, I get kernel panic download mode when the phone re-boots.
The only one I can successfully flash, is the one I put on there originally.
Just wondering if one of these scripts might be the best way of getting out of my predicament?
Kernel panic mode?
what's that then? never seen that before.
what kernels are you using
are you on GB or ICS?
Running a Wiper certainly would not harm matters.
I'm on ICS, the ROM I can flash is from XDA, Thebyani Rom V3.3. They're up to 3.8 now, but can't go past version 3.3 (and no other either). I believe it's Chainefire Kernel XXLP6 Kernel.
