[android-developers] Controlling Android init process / staged boot
Hi, I am trying to achieve something like a controlled or 'staged' boot process, where I can make sure that a specific program or script is executed first in the init process and then the remainnig services are started. I was able to start my own services from the init script (init.rc) in Android, following the guides found at: http://www.androidenea.com/2009/08/init-process-and-initrc.html or with the official documentation found at http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/system/core.git;a=blob;f=init/readme.txt;hb=HEAD There is a trigger called on service-exit-name where 'name' is the name of the service which has to exit before the actions of this trigger are executed. However, this trigger does not seem to work. I started a small shell script as a service and created the trigger accordingly to start all remaining services afterwards. The init process seems to be stuck after the execution of my script and does not continue with the remaining services. Example layout: on boot #default entries # changed from start of default services to class initialize class_start initialize #service section for my own app to be started first before anything else service runfirst /system/bin/logwrapper /sbin/myapp class initialize oneshot on service-exited-runfirst #start remaining services class_start default # further service descriptions, e.g. service zygote ... etc. Any help on that subject is very much appreciated. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Loop Mount system.img file of Android emulator
Hi, is there a way to mount the system.img file included in the Android emulator from the SDK. I tried to loop mount the file but mount keeps telling me that I need to specify the FS-Type. I think they are YAFFS type but I am sure that this forum knows how to mount the image so I can access the files in the image. Any hints are welcome.

[android-developers] Re: T-mobile G1 for testing purposes
Sorry Timbobsteve, I just realized I made a mistake in my previous email: I wrote free device but I did'nt mean free of charge but free of lock, unlocked. I realize it was quite stupid, sorry for my english. My concern is that in my country Android is not going to come until 2009 and I would like to buy a G1 in USA but I don't know if the ones that they sell in T-Mobile stores are unlocked or not. I know that the full price is 399 but will I be able to use the device abroad, with mi SIM? Can you explain me more about the 90 days unlock? I mean, if I came to the USA and I buy a G1 how can I unlock it after 90 days? Is the unlock something like a software update or it is a physical modification? Thank you very much!

[android-developers] Re: T-mobile G1 for testing purposes
shadowdrakken, I know that more phones are coming out with Android, but apart from the USA, the situation is quite confusing. In many european countries we still don't know when and if Android phones are hitting the market. I will try to buy a G1 next month in NY, if it will not be possible I will take one from eBay, like Timbobsteve suggested, even though I don't still know if the ones from eBay are real G1s or fakes. Anybody knows something about the unlocking after 90 days from T- Mobile? Is that a software modification? Anyway I read on some blogs that in T-Mobile stores they don't want to sell G1s at full price, so I think it will be very hard to get one in USA...

[android-developers] Re: T-mobile G1 for testing purposes
I agree with you: I think the G1 on eBay are fake, anyway I will check the auctions feedbacks. In Italy, we have Telecom Italia that is in the open handset alliance, but there are no info about an Android release date. Anyway I hope in the future that it will be possible to install Android on other devices, like Nokia; it will be much easier for developers... especially not in the USA.

As it takes 90 days to get an officially locked T-Mobile USA device, I am assuming that all unlocked G1’s currently listed on eBay are fake. I am also unsure of how well a device apparently *optimised* for T- Mobile USA 3G frequencies will perform on my local network.
