Thanks for your replies. However, so far not much luck here. I got the
zygote socket created in /dev/socket and the environment variable
ANDROID_SOCKET_zygote set to 666.
Now i'm getting
java.lang.RuntimeException: Error binding to local socket '666'
at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.registerZygoteSocket
(ZygoteInit.java:164)
the command line i'm using is
#app_process -Xzygote /system/bin --zygote
and the init.rc is like this
setprop zygote.enable 0
service zygote /system/bin/app_process -Xzygote /system/bin --zygote --
start-system-server
socket zygote stream 666
on property:zygote.enable=1
start zygote
on property:zygote.enable=0
start zygote
----
typing setprop zygote.enable 1 on the command line doesn't do anything
either. What am I missing here now?
Thanks,
