INADYN for Android

This is simple cross compile of INADYN 1.96.2 for Android.
"INADYN is a free DynDNS client. It gives the possibility to have your own fixed hostname registered on the internet, although your IP might be changing. It checks periodically whether the IP address stored by the DNS server is the real current IP address of the machine that is running INADYN."
http://www.inatech.eu/inadyn/
To install:
1) extract inadyn.zip to your sdcard
2) copy inadyn to /system/bin
You have two ways to run it:
1) from the shell, run: inadyn --username <DynDNS username> --password <DynDNS password> --alias <DynDNS alias>
e.g. inadyn -u test -t test -a test.thruhere.net
2) create inadyn.conf in /etc with the following contents: "--username <DynDNS username> --password <DynDNS password> --alias <DynDNS alias>" then run inadyn
You may want to use the following commands
--iterations 1 (this will cause inadyn to update the ip and exit)
--background (inadyn will run in the background)
--update_period 6000 (how often the IP is checked. The period is in [ms]. Default is about 1 min. Max is 10 days)

Running Froyo on LG Optimus S. Any ideas?

I have not installed this, but I would like to know the answer to this question before I do:
Is this supposed to work over cellular/3G? Or is it just wifi?

Does this work on all phones ? anybody get this to connect on tmobile?

And a BIG thanks to ecips for helping with this
NO LONGER NEED TO DO ANY OF THIS , JUST USE OpenVPN.zip & FOLLOW ON FROM STEP 4!!
Ok guys had alot of problems gettings this too were it working, hopefully you guys might see some errors/fix's to improve on this
Requirements:
OpenVPN-Settings - Market
OpenVpn Binary File - Located in the openvpn4DesireHD.ZIP
LeeDrOiD HD v1.2 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842802
Buzz OC/UV 1.51Ghz 1.1.4 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835616
UPDATED 17/12/2010: CONFIRMED WORKING ON, LeeDroiD HD v1.2 & Buzz OC/UV 1.51Ghz 1.1.4
A) Not sure if this matters or not but i copied LeeDroids iptables file from the Desire.
B) Copy your client.conf or .ovpn file and certs to /sdcard/openvpn
C) Implementation:
1. Unzip/copy openvpn binary file to device.
1.b replace the current openvpn file in /system/xbin with this new one
1.c -- chmod +x with it.
Code:
adb remount
adb push openvpn /system/xbin/
adb shell
chmod +x /system/xbin/openvpn
exit
If " adb remount " didnt work
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system
in order to mount system as read/write
2. Make folder /system/xbin/bb
Code:
adb remount
adb shell mkdir /system/xbin/bb
exit
3. Make symbolic links to ifconfig and route & busy box.
THIS IS WERE THE PROBLEMS ALL COME FROM AND IF YOU HAVE ISSUES THIS IS WHAT WILL BE CAUSEING IT! SOMETHING TO DO WITH LINK BETWEEN BUSY BOX AND IFCONFIG......BUT I TRIED FROM FRESH BOOT AND IT WORKS FLAWLESSLY NOW WILL TALK TOO LEE ABOUT GETTING EVERYTHING INBUILT IN LEEDROID
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
ln -s /system/xbin/ifconfig /system/xbin/bb/ifconfig
ln -s /system/xbin/route /system/xbin/bb/route
ln -s /system/xbin/busybox /system/xbin/ifconfig
reboot
4. Install/Configure OpenVPN-Settings
4.0 Install OpenVPN-Settings from "Market" its free dont worrie
Code:
4.1 On device, launch OpenVPN Settings.
4.2 Long press openvpn.conf, Preferences.
4.3 Check "Use VPN DNS Server"
4.4 Enter your VPN DNS Server
4.5 Script Security Level Select Built-in + scripts
4.5 press back
4.6 Click click the sub-menu option select Advanced
4.7 Load tun kernel module and make it 'insmod /system/lib/modules/tun.ko' before starting openvpn.
7.8 Change path to openvpn binary to /system/xbin/openvpn
Click " Fix HTC Routes "
You should now be connected
IF I FORGOT ANYTHING PLS LET ME KNOW VERY TIRED WHEN I DID THIS HAHA
Here is my config anyways for reference and here is my client config
Code:
client
dev tun
proto udp
remote XXX.XXX.XXX.XX 1194
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
ca ca.crt
cert mero-android.crt
key mero-android.key
comp-lzo
verb 6
script-security 2
Have also realised if you go terminal and do following gives you nice log
basicly , su root, cd to your openvpn folder location, run openvpn on your client conf
Code:
su
cd /sdcard/openvpn
openvpn client.ovpn
For added security. To make the OpenVPN request a password on connect. do the following
change step 4.5 to Script Security Level Select Built-in + scripts + passwords
add the following to your server conf.
Code:
username-as-common-name
plugin /usr/lib/openvpn/openvpn-auth-pam.so login
and this to your client
Code:
auth-user-pass
Change Log:
Use OpenVPN.zip & step 4 and beyond.

It's a VPN (virtual private network). I can access my home and work computers from my android.

I am super-impressed mero. But I wasn't able to get it to work .... I think it's my fault .... I've stuffed around so much. I'm right now starting a clean install.... It should work..... I hope.

So i did a full wipe. then flash to 1.2 reboot. flash to 1.0.1.fix. and then first thing i did was follow those steps.
connection worked first go
please update me, as im sure i can help.

Walker Street,
I attached a screen shot of the actual adb session i did just incase. the bottom 3 commands to my knowledge and what i can see dont work so i ommited them from the tut. but they might do somthign and not display it so thought i might upload incase.

Silly me. I forgot to set 'Fix HTC Routes'. Now I've done that and your method rules.
You're a genius mero. It works.
I changed permissions for the new openvpn and iptables using root explorer so they could execute. Maybe you didn't need to because you were doing adb push from linux (I was doing it from windows).
I don't have a DNS server, so I didn't need to specify one.
I would highly recommend these changes to LeeDroid for his rom. Have you messaged him yet?

Yes and tunnel all your internet traffic back through the VPN encrypted in many ways

also works with buzz 1.0.8.
and after pushing the openvpn binary, you need to do chmod +x with it.

anyone tried with 1.1.0 ?

Hello,
i'm in trouble....
At first, i have an error when i try the adb remount command : Operation not permitted
Then i have a second message when i try to create the "bb" folder : mkdir failed for bb. Read-only file system.
I'm confused because tel is rooted, S-OFF and suped-CID. I even changed the Kernel with Buzz's one 1,2Ghz.
Did i miss something?
Thanks for your help

hmm thats very strange... adb remount should work...
actually quite puzzled at that dunno why it wouldnt work if you do have root etc.
only other thing i can think of is have you got busybox installed ?
what state is your phone in when your trying to do this ? ie off. on, recovery mode.

Hi,
thanks for reply!
I have a branded SFR phone in France but i managed to root it and S-OFF it without problem.
I switched to another Kernel with the tun.ko file and that's all.
When i tried adb remount, the phone was ON (no recovery or anything else).
I will try in recovery mode.
Busybox is installed.
Note : impossible to connect adb while in recovery.

This seems to be the problem :
when switching kernel only, i don't change the property ro.secure because it's nested (of what i read) in the boot.img. I have a branded phone and this property is set to 1.
Is there a way to change this property without changing the whole ROM? I would llike to stay with this one.
Thanks for your advice
lionel

Ok,
switched to Leedroid 1.2 and re-changed kernel to Buzz 1,22Ghz.
This tutorial is awesome!
Thanks mero01!!!
Is there a way to use the WIFI connection instead of 3G?

Sensation 4g running Ubuntu 10.10 LDXE

just as the title says, with the valiant effort of #teamwin granting SU and busybox, we finally have ubuntu running on the S4G!
MODS: DIDNT KNOW WHERE TO PUT THIS, HOPEFULLY THEMES & APPS IS OK.
i take ZERO credit for any of the source material, please give props to devs beecause without them, none of this would be possible!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28LQElx2zPU
and, yes i know that i couldnt get any of the apps running, but that is beacuse it was like the 4th time i mounted and vnc'd in, so the RAM was pretty full

note that this is pretty simple stuff, if you cant get it running, you werent meant to run it!
READ READ READ the posts before asking silly questions that have already been answered!
EDIT: i WILL help with any relevant questions to getting the res correct, and any connectivity issues you may have, etc., but i will not be answering "how do i use terminal emulator", or any questions like that

nice ive been trying this but in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1197377 it says i need a certain kernel can u tell me what kernel ur using for the sensation to allow this?

It runs through the script without an error, but VNC just throws a Connection refused error.

Stock TMOUS kernel
2.6.35.10-gb7a86da
If you're getting connection refused, make sure you're rooted with busybox, and typing in the login info correctly ( nickname: ubuntu, user:ubuntu, pass:ubuntu), and using port 5900 for the first time connection. That will have the image stretched, but after the initial log in, you can modify the res.
EDIT* also, give the TE like 1min to load the image, and BE SURE its still running (press HOME instead of BACK) when you run VNC)
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App

I put an echo at the end of the script to notify me when its done. But even if I give it 2, 3 minutes after the last line, VNC refuses to connect. The info put into androidVNC is correct.
Edit: I'm rooted, with busybox, but on a stock rom

hmmm...i could be app ver issues, im running the following

TE 1.0.31
VNC 0.5.0

hit home and load VNC and input the following:

Linux Installer

There is this linux installer app in the market (link).
As it needs root, and I haven't done it yet, is there anyone here that have tried it??
Thanks,

Thanks, gonna give it a try later.

What about this?

Oh crap, I completely forgot.. Got mixed up with other stuff
Gonna put a reminder.
EDIT: Done. Screenshots attached, one for the standard terminal, the other from aptitude, before updating packages.

Anyone else tried this? I'm having some issues with getting mysql up and running. If anyone is asking well, I'm trying to transform my phone into a server and host my own site
Just because I CAN! *evil laughter*

It seems we now have a computer much more than a smartphone...
Maybe it's time to root to test this.
If it has aircrack-ng then it will worth the work.

Managed to connect via SSH from PC. Still haven't looked into the MySQL issues though.

I finally unbootlocked and rooted my ChaCha and installed this.
I installed Debian, and I'm ready to start testing things.
I installed stable but manually upgraded to testing. But I couldn't setup a SSH server.
Where did you got from??
What do you have in your sources.list?

Update apt from the Distribution Manager and afterwards:
Code:
apt-get check
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install ssh
I still couldn't get MySQL server 5.1 up and running; I have a strange feeling there's something wrong with the distribution, as I've just installed it on my ubuntu box without any errors.
Can you give it a try?
Code:
apt-get install mysql-server-5.1
It should print out something about package not configured yet at some point.
EDIT: Forgot to add
Code:
apt-get install openssh-server
Start the ssh server with
Code:
/usr/sbin/sshd
with "sshd" only you'll get the following error:
Code:
sshd re-exec requires execution with absolute path
Afaik, the sshd $PATH is defined wrong for the service so that's why running it simply with sshd won't work.
Test the functionality afterwards with:
Code:
ssh localhost
Forgot to add the info you requested for sources.list:
Code:
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian squeeze main non-free
deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian squeeze main non-free
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian squeeze/squeeze main non-free
deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian squeeze/squeeze main non-free
Should be the same though I think. What's yours?

Ok. I'll try that.
I already installed psmisc so I could try the lsdev command.
But as it uses /proc and /dev folders, and none of them are in the chroot, they are useless...
But I will try to somehow link from inside the chroot to the actual folders, to try if they work.
EDIT:
I tried mysql server, and I had an error just in the very final stage of setup.
Is this the same for you??

someone got succes?

Yep, it's the same.
I'm thinking that mysql 5.0 is already installed and when trying to upgrade to 5.1 a know issue is occurring, where my.cnf does not contain a skip-bdb command at the end, but it doesn't seem to work either; also tried chmod a+r on the my.cnf file as permissions were not granted properly on my device.

Modifying the init scripts in the boot partition, I think it could be done.
Take a look here to have the information that could lead you to do it:
http://www.androidenea.com/2009/06/android-boot-process-from-power-on.html
http://www.androidenea.com/2009/08/init-process-and-initrc.html
Well, that is really the tip of the iceberg, because you would have then to port the X.org server, searching/porting/writing for the drivers for it to work, and finding a desktop enviroment that would run smoothly and with enough room in such a small screen with such a low resolution.
And not only that... What about the radio? Not the FM radio, but the GSM or CDMA radio that allows you to make voice calls and have mobile internet.

Funny thing is that if you check the market app screenshots, there is a screenshot of a running deb dist, apparently on a device.

I sent the developer a couple of questions and had no answer...
This was a kind of experiment, but I think it won't last that much in my ChaCha, because it has no practical use -- for me.

Hmm, got a few extras:
mysqld (the mysql server's main program)
[ERROR]: Can't create IP socket: Permission denied
[ERROR]: Aborting.
So the ld ain't turning on since it has no "permission" to open up sockets, therefore both the mysql-server and the mysql-server-5.1 won't be able to install, since both of them require the mysqld to start first.
Addendum: missing socket file mysqld.sock in /var/run/mysqld/ seems to be the cause of this problem.

130415 15:34:49 [ERROR] Can't start server: can't create PID file: No such file or directory
note the two last lines. it seems that there are no permissions somehow to create the PID file. i edited the my.cnf file to point to that dir, tried to change the user from "mysql" to "root", nothing worked.
the dir is valid and has wide open access (i made chmod a+rw on it just to be sure), so the permissions should be ok.
the wall is starting to be bloodied from so much headbumping. any ideas in this?

Yes, I sincerely apologize for kicking an old thread but I ran into this issue today and nobody seemed to know the answer.
The fix is:
adduser mysql AID_INET
It adds the mysql user to the AID_INET group. After this MySQLd will start just fine.

[GUIDE] Building Chromium for Snapdragon devices

Due to the apparent lack in proper documentation on building the Snapdragon browser CAF (Code Aurora Forums) has developed, I've decided to take it upon myself to try and build it. You can find out more about it on the Code Aurora Forums Wiki. This guide only builds for m46. To build for m42, repeat the process but with the .gclient configuration provided on the CAF Wiki.
Requirements:
- At least 50GB of free space (to be safe)
- A stable Internet connection (fast one preferred)
- Ubuntu 14.04 x64 ISO
1. First, you'll need to install Ubuntu 14.04 (64-bit) on your system. You can grab the ISO image on Ubuntu's website.
2. When Ubuntu boots, connect to the Internet and open the Terminal. Run the following commands:
Code:
sudo apt-get install git-core
git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/tools/depot_tools.git
export PATH="$PATH":~/depot_tools
* - Note: If you are doing it on a daily machine you may cd into another directory for your convenience, and change '~/depot_tools' to where depot_tools is installed.
* - If you wish too you can add the export line to your ~/.bashrc for convenience too.
3. Create a file called .gclient and enter the following into the text editor:
Code:
solutions = [
{ "name" : "src",
"url" : "git://codeaurora.org/quic/chrome4sdp/chromium/[email protected]/remotes/origin/m46",
"deps_file" : "DEPS",
"managed" : True,
"safesync_url": "",
},
]
target_os = ["android"]
* - You can always type 'nano .gclient' into the terminal to launch possibly the world's best text editor, just type CTRL + X, Y, then ENTER when you're done to save.
4. Now here comes the part which will take up a load of disk space (and Internet bandwidth). First run the following command:
Code:
gclient sync -n --no-nag-max
This will download the Android build dependencies and sources.
* - Make sure you do not disconnect from the Internet in the process.
* - You may see nothing change for a long time, just let the process run.
* - This personally took me 12 hours to finish due to my slow Internet connection.
(Optional) Then open src/build/install-build-deps-android.sh and remove the following lines:
Code:
DownloadFromBucket() {
bin=$1
path=$2
gs_url=$3
known_hash=$4
tmpfile=${bin}_$(/bin/date +%s)
if [ ! -x ${path}/${bin} ]; then
/b/build/scripts/slave/gsutil cp ${gs_url} ${tmpfile}
md5=$(md5sum ${tmpfile} | cut -d' ' -f 1)
if [[ $known_hash == $md5 ]]; then
/usr/bin/sudo /bin/mv ${tmpfile} ${path}/${bin}
/usr/bin/sudo /bin/chmod a+x ${path}/${bin}
/usr/bin/sudo /bin/chown root:root ${path}/${bin}
else
echo 'ERROR: Bad md5sum. Not installing' ${bin}
exit 1
fi
fi
}
DownloadFromBucket apktool /usr/local/bin \
'gs://chromium-apktool-bucket/apktool_1_5_2/apktool' \
89d099df9f8b12c043dc74f6f1368f36
DownloadFromBucket apktool.jar /usr/local/bin \
'gs://chromium-apktool-bucket/apktool_1_5_2/apktool.jar' \
2d616934a8eaa37c4501868f05c62871
* - These lines were supposed to be removed but CAF did not update their sources.
* - They are near the bottom of the file.
Afterwards, run the command:
Code:
cd src
. build/install-build-deps-android.sh
5. When all the dependencies are done installing, enter the following commands to build:
Code:
GYP_DEFINES="$GYP_DEFINES clang=0 OS=android" gclient runhooks -v
ninja -C out/Release swe_browser_apk
Have fun! Let me know in the comments below if there are any problems and I'll try my best to reply.

Started to build couple weeks back from m46 branch and never needed to deleted the lines you are deleting / never run the build deeps. Don't get it why you need to run this and over mine don't need.

Chaosdroid is building m46 already using Jenkins: http://chaosdroid.com/jenkins/job/chrome4sdp-beta/

I'll put that in the OP, thanks!

Nitpicking a bit here, but you can't edit install-build-deps-android.sh until you gclient sync because you have nothing to alter also you have to cd src before building. Maybe this will clear things up for some noobs.

And don't forget you need also play services before runhooks

install-build-deps-android.sh should install that. It did that for me.

Just installed it from XDA Labs.
Question: how can I login to my Google account and get sync?

The official version of SWE from the CAF repository has removed Google account sign-in. You'll need to go to accounts.google.com and sign-in again.
I didn't add it because I wanted the build to be completely original and synced with the CAF repo. If you want Google sign-in I believe you can try JSwarts's browser, it's also on XDA Labs.

Hey been using the browser for a couple days but i run into a problem where if the browser sits idle for a bit and I go to use it, I cant click the address bar and type so I end up having to kill the app to get it to work again. I'm on nexus 6 btw

I don't get that problem though, is there a specific website that experiences this problem?

No just through regular use of the browser.

Unfortunately I can't recreate the problem... Maybe you'll want to contact CAF about this?

how do I compile chaos' build? I'm a newbee
