Set .bashrc for Android ARM cross compiled bash

November 30, 2012 by ·

Set .bashrc and copy to / (root folder) and, /home ($HOME)

Use a default shell with adb

adb shell /system/bin/bash

I tried changing the default shell with the console process

[email protected]:~/kernel/bootimg/ramdisk$ grep -n 'console' init.rc
168:    copy /proc/apanic_console /data/dontpanic/apanic_console
169:    chown root log /data/dontpanic/apanic_console
170:    chmod 0640 /data/dontpanic/apanic_console
176:    write /proc/apanic_console 1
636:service console /system/bin/sh
638:    console
642:service console_user /system/bin/sh
644:    console
650:    start console
653:    start console_user

Create a boot.img and flash the new kernel..
