stopping gmenu2x
« on: June 10, 2020, 04:54:29 pm »
What launches /usr/bin/gmenu2x?

I compiled gmenunx (https://github.com/zhuzhe1983/GMenuNext ) but I can't test it because I don't understand what is starting gmenu2x. There is nothing about it in /etc/init.d and /usr/bin/gmenu2x is sitting in a readonly filesystem so i can't just back it up and overwrite /usr/bin/gmenu2x.

Telnetting into the gcw0, I can't kill gmenu2x either: it instantly respawns. Surely I don't have to deal with all the buildroot crap to roll a new rootfs just to change one executable file?

/etc/inittab launches /usr/sbin/frontend_start, which will launch /usr/local/sbin/frontend_start if it exists, or gmenu2x otherwise.

So you can put it as local/frontend_start on the internal memory and it should start (make it executable).

Thanks for that info. Alas, the version of gmenunext above does not have OPK support and seems not to be completely set up for GCW0: defining TARGET_GCW0 doesn't actually do anything other than set the correct path in /sys/blah/blah.... for the battery status..


The only feature I miss in GCW0's old gmenu2x is remembering the last played ROM. I'll have to hunt around to find which of the many gmenu forks has this feature and OPK support. I think the one in retrofw 2.2 does, but I can't find the source code.
