Which reminds me, there is a bunch of cool stuff that is not removed along with factory files before shipping -- just disabled by removal of a flag file in root '/'. The scripts themselves show the factory enable flag filename which I do not recall. Good not just for exploring the factory firmwares, but also some left-over factory options on consumer firmwares. I discovered those when I found a new way to display text on the titlebar (like the 5.6.5 JB does) on the 5.7.4 firmware. I was trying to fix the battery extension hack, but did not get that far (though I did find some cool UTF-8 symbols like an airplane icon you can display in the title bar text). Repeated long term "not allow to post here" events halted my progress (and interest) in that line of research. I know I published the details here in *some* thread (but not previously about the root flag file).
