hi people
this is to say i did try this:

1. Dump your current working boot.img
2. Unpack it
3. Uncompress boot.img-ramdisk.gz
4. ADD the dnsproxy line in init.rc for netd daemon service
   Code:
   service netd /system/bin/netd
   socket netd stream 0660 root system
   socket dnsproxyd stream 0660 root inet <----
5. Recompress edited ramdisk
6. Create your new boot.img

on my Ideos s7 as stated on this forum post:xda-developers - View Single Post - [ROM-DEV] Honeycomb SDK port to N1 alpha 3 [02/27/2011]

well i got a nice boot loop but i did try lol

the rom i used was the sdk for a nexus one and yes its S7 old kernel on a nexus one rom update.zip file with boot.img replaced (only the /system partition is on the nexus zip) it was a test so no drivers there ....... maybe thats why it boot loop ...

as i have my running /data /app and /cache on the internal "sdcard" i didn't loose them

i find out that clockworkmod recovery usb mount wasnt working so i had to zip store the backup from my pc to /sdcard2 then copy it to /sdcard then do a clockworkmod restore of the /system and s7 was back to live.

i will not give up anyone has any ideas?

We have to wait for aosp, I think it's because of this: http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...awei-ideos-s7-builds-similar-acer-liquid.html

You could try porting stock Acer Liquid ROMs though in theory, I think... Have to check the memory locations...

well i got a nice boot loop but i did try lol

I hope you've got adb running. If so, what does logcat say?

 

[xaueious]

When porting recovery, I noticed that adb wouldn't run without the vold service. So you might need to look into that.

 

[rictec]

nop no adb running and i found out i got segment faults a lot so something else is terrible wrong or that prelinkmap is to blame
what i read that prelink is just a memory/speed hack and will not prevent a rom from booting even slower but i can be wrong too lol

 

[rictec]

my last try almost got me in big trouble but i manage to get over it
i simple cant get it to boot and tell something it just boot loop.
my internal "sdcard" is behaving like a sdcard i got a lot of fsck000x on my fat a2sd partition and had to fsck the ext2 now you can imagine an internal ruined "sdcard" and no way to get to sdcard2 with recovery
i will destroy this or make it work or die trying lol

 

[xaueious]

If you want to force external SDcard in recovery, flashing the single SDcard recovery should do the trick...

tryed cm7 gingerbread and got a android with blinking cursor i will keep doing tests
then i put prelink map there but some libs are missing i have to find a way to boot to something

 

[rictec]

i builded the prelink map but got the same result
it boots to a ANDROID_ and reboot

remove the # on the razor mtd but same result

 

[iondokk]

You guys have brass balls... keep on trying...

After some sleep, i will flash my S7 with CM7 that i took a mallet to.
I kinda wished they supported more 8x50 chipped phones, would have made the bashing easier.
*fingers crossed*
Knowing my luck though; It'l do something nasty to itself, but its all in the name of science (or a slightly more feature full phone)

 

[rictec]

i found out this is a very, very kernel problem lol so i have to get a kernel that boots

 

[Balcora]

Yea, I might look around for a way to get dumps outta the kernel during boot, see where its spitting the dummy

Sent from my S7

 

[Balcora]

Might just have to suffice with the kernel dmesg, as i'm not finding a lot on android kernel crash dumps.

 

[Balcora]

For general information,
The easiest way we're going to have to build a CM7 for this thing;
is using say, the Desire (HTC Bravo)'s build as it is extremely similar chipset wise,
I'm hoping by the end of the night to have a bootable (perhaps not with many devices working ),
2.3 install.

Anyone who wants to know more, or wants to join in; jump on the androidtablets IRC.
I'll be on there.
