Adding XBMC to custom rom
#1
Hi guys,
I'm building a custom rom for DroidTV X1 device and I'm facing the following problem:
If I manually install XBMS from apk file it copies apk to /data/app/ and libraries to /data/data/org.xbmc/xbmc/lib
Everything runs fine

But if I add it to the /system/apps then it doesn't copy lib files to /data/data/org.xbmc/xbmc/lib although it creates the folder.
if i try to start it it runs for the first time quite slow and than crashes. and after that it crashes every time I'm trying to run it

Am I doing something wrong?
Is it actually possible to add XBMC to the firmware so I would have XBMC pre-installed after factory reset?

The device is RK3066 SoC, 1GB ram, 4GB internal storage.

For system apps, lib files should be in /system/lib. One way to go about it is first install XBMC as a user app, then copy out all the files from /data/data/org.xbmc/xbmc/lib. Then in your custom rom, put all those lib files into /system/lib and the XBMC apk into /system/app.

I've tried that, but it doesn't work. XBMC crashes when I try to start it.

on my Onda V972, I use a "preinstall-script" to install user apps at the end of the first boot.
something like this:

In your extracted "Rom-Folder":
first create directory /system/preinstall and copy your apps into it.

second create: '/system/bin/preinstall.sh'
(example code):
Code:
#!/system/bin/busybox sh

BUSYBOX="/system/bin/busybox"

mkdir /bootloader
mount -t vfat /dev/block/nanda  /bootloader

if [ ! -e /data/system.notfirstrun ]; then    
    echo "do preinstall job"    
  
    /system/bin/sh /system/bin/pm preinstall /system/preinstall
    /system/bin/sh /system/bin/pm preinstall /sdcard/preinstall

    $BUSYBOX cp /system/etc/chrome-command-line /data/local/
    $BUSYBOX chmod 777 /data/local/chrome-command-line
    
    mkdir /data/data/com.android.settings/shared_prefs

    $BUSYBOX cp /system/settings/com.android.settings_preferences.xml /data/data/com.android.settings/shared_prefs
    $BUSYBOX cp /system/settings/accounts.db /data/system/users/0/accounts.db
    $BUSYBOX cp /system/settings/wpa_supplicant.conf /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf

    $BUSYBOX chmod 666 /data/data/com.android.settings/shared_prefs/com.android.settings_preferences.xml
    $BUSYBOX chmod 666 /data/system/users/0/accounts.db
    $BUSYBOX chmod 666 /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf


    

    $BUSYBOX touch /data/system.notfirstrun    
    
     mkdir /databk
   mount -t ext4 /dev/block/nandi /databk    
   rm /databk/data_backup.tar
   umount /databk
   rmdir /databk
   echo "preinstall ok"
   exec /system/bin/reboot

elif [ -e /bootloader/data.need.backup ];then
   echo "data backup:tar /databk/data_backup.tar /data"
   mkdir /databk
   mount -t ext4 /dev/block/nandi /databk    
  
   rm /databk/data_backup.tar

   $BUSYBOX tar -cf /databk/data_backup.tar /data
   rm /bootloader/data.need.backup
  
   umount /databk
   rmdir /databk

else
   echo "do nothing"
fi
umount /bootloader
rmdir /bootloader

third: call "preinstall.sh" from init.rc (at least) like this:
Code:
service  preinstall  /system/bin/busybox  sh  /system/bin/preinstall.sh
  user root
  group root
  disabled
  oneshot

on property:sys.boot_completed=1
    start preinstall
