OK, some advancements - namely a way to speed up applying mods as soon as the camera wakes up from sleep. See more here https://github.com/ottokiksmaler/nx500_nx1_modding/blob/master/doc/Boot_Process_and_Speeding_up_Mods.md
Also, a small poll and explanation:
If you don't want to do it from telnet, wait a few days, there will be a nicer, more automated way to do it.
If you are starting other things (bitrate hacks, whatever) - please do check if they are running already. You can use keyscan as test as it will return 0 only if it's not already running, like this /opt/usr/devel/bin/keyscan /dev/event0 /dev/event1 /opt/usr/devel/bin/ && my_program
Just to make things clear - it's not modifying the firmware.I have no intention to mess with firmware as I have no easy way to repair my camera.
We slightly tweak the "read only" rootfs (like we already do for BT hack - we just change a single line in script) and move our scripts from SD card to internal filesystem - the one mounted under /opt as "read write" by default. It's not going to brick a camera, I have even put a swap file to extend RAM on that filesystem and everything worked.
NB, I have been using and testing this for two days now - no side effects.
The main difference is that right now, when you pop out the SD card with mods and put in a clean one - your camera acts as if it was neved modded. With this it would be modded even without a SD card (ie, it would be modded with every SD card).
All modifications are fully reversible and would be reversible from aforementioned utility.
So, a small poll - do you want me to make an installer that will install mods to the camera internally in order to work faster?

Mod update for NX500 users here: http://***URL removed***/forums/post/57619677
NX1 users can stay on v2.0, no change - yet ;-) - for them.
Enjoy...

I honestly doubt it. I think even mjpeg 4k would be huge improvement, but Vasile is more oriented towards video hacks, I'm more on basic and low level functionality as well as stills.

Cross post from dpreview:
As promised I was working on alternative way to run scripts off the SD card without entering the factory mode (as it limits several functions important to me).
Full text here
https://github.com/ottokiksmaler/nx500_nx1_modding/blob/master/Running_scripts_without_factory_mode.md
What it does: it modifies your root filesystem in camera so it starts a shell script from SD card (if present) every time you start WiFi.
Yes, it's rough. This is a first release just to enable everybody else to test and play around.
Touchscreen works.
Bluetooth works.
Camera works faster than in factory mode.
This might help with increased bitrate as well (don't know, can't test).
Have fun

For people hoping that NX500 and NX1 have the same hardware, bad news, documented here https://github.com/ottokiksmaler/nx500_nx1_modding/blob/master/doc/NX1_NX500_hw_differences.md
TLDR - NX1 has more ove everything.

@Pavel MaÅ¡ek yes, I will make a usable gui in next few weeks (I first have to decide on what's best solution as it should be a single gui for everything, not just this "rooting").

You are not going to brick your camera this way. Also, bring another SD card - once you pop out your SD card with mods (or format it) the camera acts as it was never modded.
Best of luck shooting
