################################################################################ _ _ ___| || | |_ / || |_ / /|__ _| /___| |_| mod by Elia Yehuda (c) 2010 GPLv2 ################################################################################ z4mod started as a modest idea - as a new Android user I wanted to ditch RFS in favor of a real filesystem. But thanks to the great support of XDA users and testers, z4mod grew and evolved, and it is now a very ambitious project - To allow any kernel be rooted, patched, customized, and yes - replace RFS with a filesystem of your choice. z4mod aim is to provide standards to the choatic SGS platform. z4mod is a set of three seperate utilities: + An automated kernel patch that will allow the kernel to mount partitions to filesystems other than RFS. + Android recovery scripts to convert the partitions from RFS to other filesystems - "update.zip" files. + A z4mod apk to apply a lagfix. The online kernel patcher aims to allow anyone without any knowledge of linux the ability to patch a devices kernel in a simple manner. It also provides users with an easy to use web interface tool to create customized update.zip files. ################################################################################ Howto use: Patching the kernel. To patch a zImage file and enable non-RFS mounts on it, use: $ ./z4build.sh The above command will show you the usage help. Usually you will use z4build like this: $ ./z4build.sh zImage recovery root The above command will patch the zImage kernel, and add a new recovery binary, followed by adding 'root' functionality to the zImage. Creating update.zip for converting. To create update.zip file use: $ ./z4zipgen.sh This will show you the usage help. Usually you will use z4zipgen.sh like this: $ ./z4zipgen.sh ext2 root busybox This will create an update.zip file which will convert the RFS filesystem to ext2 and install root and busybox to the target system.
