Persistent permissions in dev/am*

[muk]

Hi All
Running a M8 Box with Finless 1.8 which is working much better than the default firmware.

Only problem I have is permissions in dev/am* appear to vanish after a reboot.

Is there any way to make it persistent? I did notice various script apps in the Android Market. Perhaps I could make a script to automate this?

Cheers

My ROMs enable init.d which will run any scripts placed in /etc/init.d/

Create the script with a number in front like 01amperm
do not put a .sh or any other . extension on the file name.
set permissions on the script the same as the init.d folder

On boot wait a few seconds to give the script a chance to run as it usually runs after the launcher comes up.

PATCH for Permissions - PLEASE TEST

This was posted in 2 places..... So repeating it here:

OK so this was pretty easy. Not sure why they are making a modified XBMC to fix the permissions when it can easily be done in boot.img.

Please test this patch.
All this does is replace boot.img in my Finless 1.8 ROM for the ENY square box.
I have tested and check the permissions of the files after applying and they are correct. Just don't have time to test standard XBMC.

It does not erase or do anything else. The boot.img is a modified one to fix permissions and is to ONLY BE USED with my ENY Square box Finless 1.8 ROM


No instructions! Just apply the update from recovery. If you don't know how to do that then you should not be messing with it.

REMEMBER TO TEST THIS, Remove all the init.d script you may have added BEFORE applying this patch. If you don't then your not testing it!

If this works for everyone I will start to add it to all my future ROMs.

Let me know how it goes...
