Universal Init.d
Free AppAbout Universal Init.d
A simple, open source, root application which emulates the behavior of the init.d kernel mechanism (automatic execution of the scripts contained within the /system/etc/init.d folder at each boot).
What makes this method really universal is that everything happens on the app side, no system files modifications are required whatsoever. The tool basically emulates the behavior of the init.d kernel mechanism : it will detect whenever the device is rebooted and execute the scripts located in /system/etc/init.d.
With this init.d support granting mechanism comes a kernel-sided init.d support detection mechanism, so that your int.d scripts don't get executed twice, which would only make for a longer boot time. Basically, when you run the test, it will generate a little init.d script which creates a file on your sdcard. Then, after you rebooted, it will check if the file that the generated script creates has indeed been created in order to determine if your kernel already has init.d support built-in. If the file was created, it does. If not, it doesn't, as simple as that.
An additionnal functionnality to this app is the ability to manage, edit, delete & run your init.d scripts with the touch of a button.

I installed this on my Huawei Ascend Mate 2 non-consumer cellular unlocked phone which has CyanogenMod 13 nightly currently installed on it. CM 13 doesn't have init.d support for my device. This allowed me to have such support and it allowed me to install the Viper4Android audio mod. Wow!!! My music sounds ten times better then it did two days ago. Huge thanks to the developers of this app!!!!!

Immediately force closes - so it's not quite UNIVERSAL yet. So, those looking to solve SGS4's lack of init.d support in their stock Sprint ROM/Kernel - will have to keep looking (or run a different ROM/Kernel).

Vlad... Add a line to your first script to have it start the next and only initiate the first script with the app. That's a lame reason to give one star to a free app that works. Sorry... LoL.. Awesome job is all I can say. I used TiBu and converted to system app to get it to start earlier during boot. Works like a charm too. Less works than SManager and faster at execution.

At first I noticed I had to run my script on the app, but when I added "sleep" to the script it loaded. Only this app makes me able to initiate init.d! 5 stars!
