Hi Guys,
I compiled an eclair rom using the 2.9.26-eclair branch of Cyanogen kernel on github . And I ported the camera-related sources from donut branch to eclair branch. Now both 3d and camera can work on my G1. But I still canoot play mp4 on G1.
Would you please tell me how to make mp4 work on G1? I knew Kingklick had succeed to make mp4 work. Is his sources open?
Thanks.

working dec libs come from the 2.1 drioderis dump which you can find in the eris dev forums.

Would you please tell me which libs I should push into my 32B G1? I pushed libopencore_mp4*.so libOmxMpeg4.so from droid eris dump into my g1. But after that when I reboot my phone, my phone cannot be rebooted and stays at the first "G1 Tmobile" splash screen.

now you can compare files in two dir on your linux box against the ones on your phone, tells you whats 'missing' what are the same and what are different
PS the files you need are in the zip files in the link I gave you
just thought that the above script might come in handy for someone wanting to compare files
Thank you very much!
I downloaded the CE-12-Patch_3D_vid_signed.zip you prodivded and pushed all the libraries in your zip (except the wlan.ko) into my G1. The kernel my G1 used is built from Cyanogen kernel eclair branch. After pushing the libraries, I reboot my G1.But the G1 got stucked in the first "T-mobile G1" splash screen and couldn't be reboot into the system.
Why did it happen? I should use your kernel?? The opencore library depends on the kernel?? I think the opencore is independent. Even if there is something wrong with opencore, G1 can always be reboot. Am I wrong?

your linux will be running fine, its the Android that isn't happy
the libs are not dependent on the kernel, but may be dependent on something which is already in CE
tbh I can't really help you , I have no idea what 'ROM' you are pushing these libs to.....
logcat is your friend, I have a whole bunch of them on one line
Code:
adb logcat;adb logcat;adb logcat;adb logcat;adb logcat;adb logcat;adb logcat;adb logcat;adb logcat
make sure your phone is connected the first time, and it will happily sit there when you unplug, 'waiting for device' till you plug it back in.
and in another console
adb shell busybox top
sometimes you can even shell in if you are not seeing anything on logcat
'busybox top' will give you an idea of what is running
and there is nothing stopping you from having a couple more terminals open
one with a shell for 'doing stuff' and another for pushing and pulling stuff
all while watching top and logcat
your loop is probably to do with drm, but the logcat will tell you

I used your method and found it is because my rom could not load the libwebcore.so in your zip. So I pushed my orignal libwebcore.zip back into G1, my G1 can boot now. But after that I still cannot watch Mp4 on my G1...
Would you please give me some advice? Thanks.

Installing/Pushing CE-12-Patch_3D_Vid_signed.zip
Got a question... I recently downloaded the v4_1.zip, and was wondering if it's possible to incorporate the CE-12-Patch_3D_Vid_signed.zip in to it. I'm not new to the whole rooting thing, and have tried several variations of the Eclair and Donut roms floating around here. Unfortunately, I'm not to well versed in ADB. My main interest in pushing the above zip is to finally have an Eclair rom with working video. If anyone can help me out with this, it'd be greatly appreciated.

the v4 is a different beast
King's Eris has working video
King's Eris CachHacked has working video and is a lot faster
CE-12-Patch_3D_Vid_signed.zip
Thanks for the response. Actually, I was only using the v4 rom as an example. I have tried King's Eris rom, and I think I have the most recent version of it, but the last time I tried it the camcorder did it's I'm not gonna work for you thing. Is there a way to push the CE-12-Patch_3D_Vid_signed.zip to this rom instead, or did I misinterpret the description of this patch? At any rate, it is fun trying all these new and different roms. Can't wait for a fully working 2.0 pastry.
P.S: I just tried the FR-v4OL-CH-0-1_S.zip rom, and it does have video playback. Unfortunately, the camcorder is still non-funtional, of course, and data doesn't appear to be working.

/data not working?
if data wasn't working it wouldn't boot past the bootanimation splashscreen
if data is 'full' reboot, it will correct itself
Unfortunately, when I try to do something that requires a data connection, it suggests using wifi. During setup, I did select the first connection option, which I think was data and wifi or something like that. When I try to go into Market to sign in that way, I can't connect. Is there a step I'm missing, or has this happened to anyone else? Also, is there a way to push the CE-12-Patch_3D_Vid_signed.zip into the FR-v4OL-CH-0-1_S.zip rom, or can I just flash like a normal zip? Thanks in advance.

ahh, sorry I'm getting all mixed up, because everyone is stressed out over FR-a2sd using /data for something useful instead of leaving it as an empty,wasted space.
yes, data connection is not working, tbh I don't know why the Market doesn't work even if wifi is working..
The CE-12-Patch_3D_Vid_signed.zip isn't going to do anything for FR-v4OL-CH-0-1_S.zip
its just a 3D kernel , and libs I took from the eris dump which got video working.
infact , the libs are 'mostly' the same as the ones already in v4OL
( which means I'm totally not understanding why video is dark, got to be a framework thing, maybe, I don't really know, just guessing )
Flashing / pushing CE-12-Patch is just going to kill v4OL
I did CE-12-Patch a long time ago, shortly after re-visiting xda after initially rooting my g1 way back in Feb '09.. kinda wished I'd stuck around then.
anyway, CE-12-Patch WILL break v4OL, is it doesn't mount mtdblock4 in the right place.
the v4OL is beta , lots of things don't work
if you get your kicks trying to fix broken things, or making yourself understand things you don't understand ( i.e. you self teach )
then it is for you.
if you want things to work 'out of the box' ,
King's Eris mostly works
ce12 cachehack works
ce2.0 works ( with a 'lil' fixup, facebook fix is in the thread FR*S.zip coming soon.. )
OE1.3.0.1 has things working ( anyone flashed ce12-patch over oe1.3 ? )
and good ol' SuperD works very well.
personally I think your best root is the CE12 CacheHack
It's fully functional, and best of all, CE2.0 is a *no wipe* update
You can flash CE2.0 , just a couple of fixes that need to be consolidated
they are in the thread , minor fix is at post #1401 ( which I will update to a "no hassle,flash straight after CE2.0" soon )
This post is now irrelevant, Alex put these commands into the main program. See second post for links.
I figured out how to get it fully working. Big thank you to tonyb486 and canteenboy for figuring out that you need to disable adb and usb mass storage for tethering to work. That only left the problem of disk mounting not working after you are tethering. Here are two scripts to get the whole thing running smoothly and without a problem.
First, if you haven't already, install android-wired-tether. Next install GScript Lite (on the Market) which will let us automate toggling the USB function switch.
Create a new script with SU enabled and use this as the code.
Code:
echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/msm_hsusb/usb_function_switch
That command shuts off usb_mass_storage and adb so everything is disabled and ready for Wired Tether to come in and do its job. Your usb_function_switch will look like this after running the command.
usb_mass_storage:disable
adb:disable
diag:disable
serial:disable
ether:disable
modem:disable
nmea:disable
When you are done tethering, use this command to re-enable adb and usb_mass_storage:
Code:
echo 3 > /sys/devices/platform/msm_hsusb/usb_function_switch
If for some reason you don't use USB debugging (adb), you can use this command to turn on usb_mass_storage by itself.
Code:
echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/msm_hsusb/usb_function_switch
For those of you new to GScript, you can place shortcuts to scripts on your home screen. To simplify my life, I put them in a folder with Wired Tether so I have everything in one place. It's not an elegant solution, but you won't need to reboot your phone to get SD card mounting to work again. Perhaps someone with more knowledge of GScript can write some code that will automate running the first script, starting Wired Tether, and then running the last script after it notices that tethering has stopped. (Or better yet, get these commands into the actual program itself.)
(Optional)
For completeness, if you use any of the other usb functions listed above, you can use other 'echo #' commands to find the right combination. They don't toggle individual settings, but rather represent entire combinations of settings. I think around 32-33 it cycles back to 0 (everything off), I didn't have time to figure out if there is a pattern. You can find out what each number does by using another script to read out the switches.
Code:
cat /sys/devices/platform/msm_hsusb/usb_function_switch
Huge thank you to Alex C. Hofbauer. He implemented these commands into the program. Now the program works flawlessly (or I assume, I haven't tested it yet).

Same here, I'm using netarchy's 4.0.3a kernel and SteelH's stock Froyo RevE.1 ROM.
I have stock froyo on my evo and use easythether, it works perfect, all you have to do is set it to debug mode in the settings, install the app on your computer and when connected set it to charge only.

The problem with that is having to install stuff on the computer. With wired tether you don't have to install anything on the computer.

I've been able to make this work on my stock kernel, rooted FroYo Evo, so this is indeed possible and I've narrowed it down to what is necessary. Please star/follow issue 23 in the Google Code tracker for updates.
Unsupported Kernel message...

Hi EindhovenOne, I responded to you on the issue tracker for Wired Tether, but I'll respond here just for some others to know the situation.
I found a fix that worked for me on my stock, rooted FroYo Evo and I coded the change and sent Harald a patch. He incorporated the patch and did the build for Wired Tether for me to test, which I have done (and it does indeed work for me, but does currently have the unsupported kernel dialog*). At the same time, though, it is listed in the downloads (you have to select all and then search), but this is in beta state for the changes (hence the deprecated tag I believe).
* I have fixed the unsupported kernel message and sent Harald a patch on this as well, so when he finds time to build it, that should be corrected, too.
So back to the "it's not working" portion, since I'm not running anything but stock (ROM and kernel), my system won't be the same as everyone's. I have no problem with other variations of ROMs and kernels (Evo's and non-Evo's) trying the 1.3 APK, giving feedback, and I'll try to do what I can (and someone else can step in if more suited than me even).
If you do run into issues, you can tag them in the issue tracker, which I try to follow frequently right now. Also, most importantly, if you can provide as much information as possible (what ROM and kernel you're using, a LogCat run just after the error occurs, any other pertinent information we can use to diagnose the problem, etc.), that helps tremendously in tracking down the problem and identifying a fix.

The beta-in-progress version 1.3 is located here. It still warns about the kernel currently but you can ignore it (simple lapse in patching that as well at the time). It works perfectly for me (starting and stopping), but there are a couple of issues outstanding right now that I'm working through with the users.
If you do run into a problem, though, just let me/us know through the issue tracker preferably, but you can also contact me directly (here, or my email via the issue tracker).
PS: I have patched the kernel message already, but I don't have write access to the project yet and I don't have the build system in place to handle the native code just yet, so I have been handing builds off to Harald who graciously has done the 1.3 so far for me. When he has time to do the one including the kernel warning fix, I'll post again with an update on that.
I'm seriously confused about CIFS...
I'm new to Android, so i'm not sure what tools to use to accomplish certain tasks.
Here's my drama, I'm running TNT lite 3.1.4, i can see the CIFS.co file in the system folders, I set cifs up to use insmod and pointed it at the right path.
I can set up the share but no matter what i do i get a message that says "mounting has failed with an error Mount: no such device".
My shares are hosted on win7 x64 machines and a few Server 2008R2 boxes. If i use ES File Explorer i can see all drives (C$, etc) and explicitly naemd shares (Videos, Documents) but i can only successfully access explicitly named shares (with correct UID/PWD)
The same shares (User, Video, etc) accessed via CIFS yeilds that above error message...
I'm out of ideas. I believe others have this working...any thoughts?

As much as things change around here I may be wrong but I don't think Roebeet put the Cifs kernel into TnTLite. I think that is one of the things he left for the user to patch. There is a Cifs kernel patch for TnTLite in one of these threads that will likely fix what you have going on.. It acts just like that when it is not there... You are using something like CIFS manager to set things up right?
The CIFS module doesn't work with the default TnT kernel - I added it just so the user had it available to them in case they added a customized kernel that could use it.
You should consider it unusable OOTB.
In case you search and don't find it....

I feel kinda dumb now...i saw the thread with the patch but assumed it was only for full STOCK TNT, then when i saw the CIFS.KO file in the TNTlite folders i thought it was active.
I'll try the 3389 CIFS patch on TNT lite (which is what i think is being suggested) and i should be good to go.
thanks all.

Yep.. The latest TnTLite is built from 3389 so the TnT patch will do the trick...
The kernel I posted for TnTL has CIFS built in, thus the kernel module roebeet include is not required. Grab CIFSManager and use UMASK=0755 as the option.

I don't want to lead anyone on a goose chase if there is a specific TnTLite build... If it is in the middle of the big thread then maybe you could put it somewhere more obvious maybe? I seem to remember post 195 from somewhere?
Hello!
I'm very new to the android os and owner of an infuse (android 2.2.1, kernel version: 2.6.32.9, froyo.uckd5) since a couple of weeks.
Honestly I feel a bit lost because I'm looking for a tun.ko module for this device and as far as I can see there isn't, at least for the production rom. All the tun.ko I found are compiled for kernel different from mine.
I really need openvpn and now I'm wondering if I should:
1) keep looking
2) figure out how to compile a tun.ko on my linux machine for the arm7 architecture
3) look at some modified rom with the module built in
Do you have any suggestion?
Thank you
Cheers

3) As far as I can tell, all of the alternative kernels have this module. The Infused ROM contains the Voodoo kernel, but I believe you can run the Voodoo or Infusion kernels on the stock ROM.
ok I see.
Could you suggest to me a starting point to deal with the custom roms?
I'm have a good experience with linux since years but not enough on smart phones and android in general.
For instance, is there an official website for Infused ROM?
Any tip is welcome.
Thank you!
@dventurin - I had the same issue. I have the Infused rom installed and it has the same issue. I installed SL4A and wrote my own scripts, the app is what's broke everything works at the CLI. I then used Tasker but I think you can do it with Gscripts as well build my own shortcuts. As for where to find the Infused ROM look in the Dev section here. There a several ROM's available but I've only used Infused.
@3GBeyotch
were did you get the Infused rom? Is there an official website with documentation? Honestly I don't feel comfortable when I have to use stuff found on a forum: how can I trust them?

If you want the Infused ROM, head over to the "Infuse 4G Android Development" forum....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1161
From there, you will want to look at 2 threads....
1. You need to root your device first. Check out the very first thread (entitled: [How To] Root the Samsung Infuse 4G) shows how to root your device.....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1082247
(the second link under SOURCE: has a video tutorial)
Side note: When downloading Superoneclick, make sure to get the one that has the drivers included. Also, make sure your external SD card is unmounted!
======================
2. Next, you'll need to install the Infused ROM. Look at the thread (entitled: [ROM] Infused v1.5.0 - (06/18/11) - Faster and smoother than ever!), which has the instructions, etc, for installing the Infused ROM.....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1105413
You basically need to root your device first, then install the Infused ROM.
As far as feeling comfortable with using the sources from the forum, you have nothing to worry about. In regards to the Infused ROM, gtg465x is the one who developed it. All you have to do is follow the instructions, and if you feel uncomfortable about doing one of the steps, ask someone here!
I've had the Infused ROM installed now for a few weeks, and I have not been disappointed! Hope this helps.
Open VPN on Infused ROM tun.ko problems?
Greetings! This discussion is about what I am trying to solve, so I decided to post here. I have searched and read other threads, but can not figure out a solution. I am a noob in this.
Anyway, I also would like to make OpenVPN working on my Samsung Infuse.
I have rooted it, installed the Infused ROM Version 1.5.3 (awesme!)
About Phone gives me the following info:
Firmware version 2.2.1
Baseband version i997UCKE3
Kernel version 2.6.32.9
Build number Infused v1.5.3
No the problem. I have openvpn installed with OpenVPN Installer. My config, key, certificate files are in /sdcard/openvpn folder. Everything seems okay.
When I try to connect to my router at home, however, the tun.ko module would not load. It gives an error. I even tried to load it manually from the Terminal Emulator (insmod /system/lib/modules/tun.ko) It gives me an error still. The module file is in the folder.
What am I doing wrong? Has anyone been able to make openvpn work on the Infused ROM?
I had the same problem on the original AT&T ROM, but that one did not have the tun.ko at all, so it was understandable.
I would appreciate any suggestions.
Thank you in advance.

OpenVPN Settings gives the following error: "FATAL: Cannot allocate tun/tap dev dynamically".
When I run "insmod /system/lib/modules/tun.ko" it gives me: "Failed (Exec format error)
Again, thank you for your response.

out of curiosity, is there also a tun.ko in /lib/modules in addition to /system/lib/modules?

Man, my hat is off!
Indeed, there is one in /lib/modules and it did work when I tried to load it, instead of the one in /system/lib/modules/. Any idea, why the other one did not work? Not that it matters now.
Also, your signature says that you run Cyanogen Mod with Infuse. My understanding was that Infuse was not yet supported. Is it easy to install it? Any published instructions?
Again, thanks a bunch for the tip.

My guess is in your previous attempts to add a tun.ko module, you stuck one in /system/lib, or maybe gtg accidentally included some "cruft" in /system/lib that shouldn't be there.
As to CM7 - Right now it's a source-only unofficial build, links to the git repo are in the Development section. There are occasionally binary releases floating around, however not anywhere on these forums. Good things come to those who expand their horizons and do research.

It seems, you are right. /system/lib/modules/ has only one file in it and it is tun.ko. That one did not load. Must be some left-overs from previous reincarnation. The one in /lib/modules/ has lots of different *.ko files and tun.ko among them. This one loads just fine.
Again, thank you very much for your help.

By the way. Perhaps, I can get a bit more help with this. My joy was short-lived. My Infuse connects to my Tomato - no problem. However, it does not force traffic to the VPN tunnel. It is still using whatever service I connect: Wi-Fi, or Cell Provider's.
Any hints on how to fix it? I tried the "Fix HTC Routes" option in "OpenVPN Settings." No luck.
I would appreciate some help.

Unfortunately someone else will have to help you there - I haven't used VPN functions on my phone.

Having the same problem, am able to connect to openVPN running on ddwrt but the phone isn't directing traffic through it. Anyone have any ideas?
Does the OS itself include a text editor? I want to be able to ssh into my phone (a Samsung Galaxy SII running stock 2.3 if it's in any way relevant) and edit configuration files on the command line.
I have already installed an ssh server and have poked around in the OS and the only option I could find was sed which, although excellent for its intended task, is far from user friendly for editing config files.
I'm not surprised that there is no emacs, or even vi (my favourite) but I thought that at least ex would be available.
Just to make it absolutely clear, I am not looking for a marketplace type app, I am looking for command line editor within the OS itself.

If you root, you can install busybox, which includes vi.
Excellent, that's what I needed to know.
I thought busybox was already installed because I remember seeing all the binaries in /system/bin linked to the same binary but having checked I see it's something called toolbox, which is presumably something similar but not as good.
Since I had already rooted my phone and in the process, installed busybox, I thought I was home and dry.
Unfortunately, when I tried running busybox, it appears that it doesn't include vi or at least the version I have doesn't.
Code:
# busybox vi
vi: applet not found
It looks like my problem is still unsolved after all .
Root Checker will verify if it's installed correctly. Advanced mode will list all the commands included. You can use this to install or update it.
Thanks for your help. The first app verified that I do have busybox installed but as I thought, my version doesn't include vi.
The second suggestion did try to install a newer (and more complete) version of busybox. It didn't appear to succeed but I'm reasonably confident of being able to debug this myself without further help.
