GS2KernelWipe Script

[ironass]

Bravo old boy!

It does exactly what it says on the box... wiped, clean as a whistle.

Will link to it in my, soon to be obsolete, http://androidforums.com/galaxy-s2-...-6-2-dummies-guide-installation-settings.html

I notice that on the xda, Siyah thread, that gokhanmoral is having to come up with an init.d wipe script and the merits, or otherwise, of the Ultimate Kernel Cleaning Script are currently being discussed.

Thanks hawker, I owe you a lemonade.

Personally I don't think the ukc script actually does anything of use unless you have the files it specifically deletes from the init.d folder.
It does a feeble job of wiping cache and dalvik cache as the first boot demonstrates and on top of this, it runs a module cleaning script that is not even bundled in its zip file.

Take your pick as to which one you all use but I know which one I shall be using from now on.

gokhanmoral is having to come up with an init.d wipe script

I don't know why he's bothering. Anyone using a custom kernel must be rooted, and if rooted can surely access /etc/init.d and delete one flippin' file (01siyah) before rebooting into recovery to flash the new kernel?

Any other scripts will either be user-created or placed there by the ROM, so all bets are off as to whether they or Siyah's settings should/will take precedence.

Never underestimate the human capacity for stupidity!

You just have to look at this years Darwin Awards nominations to prove that:-

or you could go the whole hog and run GS2CleanV1.1 script beforehand of course!

Why not offer him yours hawker?

Good idea hawker!

I'll second that.

Old age getting the better of you again old man!


I get repeatedly shunned over on xda but if any of you want to put the suggestion forward to gokhan I would be more than willing.

Consider it done old fruit!

The ball's in their park now.

Erm no, because that would wipe out my DlevROM-specific scripts.

Then I shall do you a dlevrom init.d restore flashable zip then sir!

Thanks but there's no need, as I'll have to go through everything once v2.6.3 appears and work out what's duplicated in the new startup scripts. My plan is to (eventually) have everything non-Siyah in the one script, but the bloomin' goalposts keep moving!

 

[Hawker]

I did one for you (and anyone else on DlevROM3) anyway butty, just in case. Might come in handy in the future for you.

Restore DelvROM3 init.d scripts

Did that as well.

Both steslatt and slug seem to be concerned about losing what's in their roms start up scripts. What's the issue with deleting these files?

 

[Hawker]

None really. Most are just tweaks. But it depends on the ROM, as I can't say categorically as I've not seen every rom's startup scripts.
My handset on checkrom 4 runs just fine with no startup scripts at all.
If you want to keep them then just flash the associated ROM file I created afterwards.

I've not been on a stock ROM for a long time. I would be interested to hear off people on a stock ROM as to what startup scripts, if any are present. I've a feeling the stock kernel has no init.d support.

 

[Hawker]

Just to let you all know, my kernel cleaner script does not seem to want to play with the latest Siyah 2.6.3. This version of Siyah (or CWM) does not seem to execute certain commands as expected (eg. getting the firmware version). It is not clearing init.d folder.

I'm working in it and will keep you posted....

 

[Shotgun84]

I was wondering if all the files in /customkernel/property are relevant to the kernel you are running. I'm wondering as the file customkernel.cwm.version says cwm is 5.0.2.7 even though the new siyah has a different cwm. Its confused me a bit as all the dates of the files match up. Anyway if some of these are old files is it possible for your script to remove these?

 

[Hawker]

I'll look into it butty.

Issues with latest Siyah now fixed. I've not updated the version number, as the script doesnt do anything new.

GS2CleanV1.1

I've just flashed this before flashing NEAK. It took no time at all to reboot - it was quicker than usual if anything. Cheers dude!

 

[Hawker]

V1.2 now up
Does everything v1.1 does, but it recreates the init.d folder. This is handy for NEAK 1.2 kernel users who want to activate governors/tweaks from the NEAK-modified CWM Recovery.

GS2CleanV1.2

 

[turbohobbit]

Tasty, cheers mate.

does the job cheers!
