I'm trying to compile a ROM from CM7 sources, but when I try it I keep getting this error.
Code:
sed: illegal option -- r
usage: sed script [-Ealn] [-i extension] [file ...]

I'm using SDK 10.6, as it says on CM Wiki.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong please?
If you're interested in running more complete Unix/Linux environment on your Android device, you might have heard about Optware for Android, here is thread for example.
Well, that project had few issues, like: shipping binaries of unknown origin and running them on user's device as root; coded and advertised as applying to one particular device; making too much changes on the device in one turn (like alter rootfs image).
That's why I decided to create another Optware install script to address those points. It is explicitly envisioned to support Android as an OS/Platform, i.e. all devices, not one particular model. Well, that may be not exactly easy, but that's at least good aim to pursue. It also doesn't come with any random binaries, but instead downloads them from a trusted source during the installation process (sources being Optware itself for bootstrap packages and CodeSourcery toolchain package for libc on which Optware depends).
Due to the last point, the installation script runs on a Linux host, so ADB connection to the device is required. Device also should have working "su" command (i.e. be rooted).
The source code is on github: https://github.com/pfalcon/optware-android
Just a bit of DISCLAIMER: you should run this script only if you understand what Optware is, and how to use it. Some experience with Unix/Linux command line and shell scripts is required, in particular you should skim thru the install script before running it.
Otherwise, it works quite well on my Nook Tablet, and I'd be happy to receive suggestions, success/bug reports, patches, etc.
Great work.
I took the liberty of using your script as a base to install OpenSSH. Should work on any device. I can't post links so I attached an archive with the script and the necessary files.
CyanogenMod on my Touchpad has some sort of sysinit '/etc/init.d', so I initialize Optware and Optware init scripts from there. I don't know how other mods handle this, probably different. SSH authentication is key-based, since passwords are not set. Have a look at the script to figure out how to deal with that.
Glad it was useful for you. Issue how to automatically start up daemons on Android indeed exists. The native Android way is /init.rc config file (of adhoc format). The problem is that this file is located on rootfs, which is ramdisk, i.e. any changes are lost and not available during boot. And initial content of that ramdisk comes from initramfs/initrd, but it has many ways to be implemented - compiled into kernel or on separate partition, checksumed against any changes, etc. So, in general case it's not possible to update, and even if it is, a mistake can lead to bricked device.
So, I for now skipped that issue altogether in my installer, but hope to get to it eventually (have some ideas).
So, if you have CyanogenMod, then using /etc/init.d is for sure a good solution.
One suggestion/question... is it possible to alter the script to run directly off of the device's command line? That would eliminate the Linux (and optionally would eliminate the ADB requirement).
I'm sure there's a static wget binary for ARM already compiled somewhere, and the rest can be done through busybox.
That would really make it universal. I'm a Windows user, and haven't had the time to parse out your script and figure out what the end result is supposed to look like on the device

There's now FAQ at http://sf.net/p/optware-android which discusses why this isn't possible on pristine Android system (lack of basic POSIX utilities and wget). It also has a suggestion for Windows users ;-).

The question is not if it's available, but whether you can trust such binary. The responsible user's answer is "No". Nook Color's optware installer does exactly that - ships binaries of unknown origin, and dissatisfaction with such approach is what prompted be to develop alternative installer.
The only way you can trust it if [easily buildable] source is provided, then it's up to the user to either compile it themselves or on their own risk to use provided binary. I don't have such source at my hands, and not interested to make it zillion's time just for this adhoc purpose - instead, there should be well-established community project to provide such build framework for all other projects to reuse. I hope, we'll tackle that under auspices of f-droid.org project.

Other possible approach is to just skip "shell script" (and need for busybox) thing at all, and write installer in Java, to be run as normal Android app. That's certainly neat idea which will make users' life easier, and I have that on my (very long) TODO list ;-).
awesome! great work!
i have one small issue though: /etc/hosts doesnt seem to have any effect. a lot of stuff won't work because localhost cant be resolved. any suggestions?
2 onemandivision: Confirmed this issue, looking into it.
Ok, it turns out that GLibc's nsswitch default is weird in favoring DNS over /etc/hosts, and with Google DNS it didn't even look in the latter. Fixed by installing explicit nsswitch.conf:
# ping localhost
PING localhost (127.0.0.1): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.274 ms
Let's dub this 1.0 then (tagged).

Most phones that are rooted have a fairly recent version of busybox on it, which includes wget. Also, standard practice on kernels these days (non stock ones) is to have all scripts that exist in /etc/init.d execute. That would solve any service startup issue.
I don't see any problems with requiring root and busybox
Solves all of the issues.
Hello
I tried the script and i was able to install ipkg on my Samsung Galaxy II
the only problem is... if i try to install any package... i get a segmentation fault error

any advice? :'(
If you already have shell access to your device and don't want to connect via ADB, I modified the script to have the ability to run directly on your device (your device will need at least a functional wget executable already, which I had from SSHDroid):
Code:
# OPTWARE_DIR is where to install optware, it should be on a partition with
# normal Unix filesystem (permissions, etc.)
OPTWARE_DIR=/data/opt
# Particular field to install from, stable by default

Hi all. I recently upgraded and was having a heck of a time trying to find out how to install java6 on the new Mint 13 since they pulled all the PPA's due to licensing restrictions. These are the steps I took to get it installed and working with Mint 13 Maya. This SHOULD work for other flavors of Precise.
Open terminal and in it type:
Code:
sudo apt-get purge openjdk*
ENTER
Code:
sudo apt-get purge *jre*
ENTER
Open up synaptics package manager and do a search for JRE or any other java related packages, make sure they are uninstalled.
NOW.
Once you are sure you've cleansed your system of any other java muck that might conflict you need to download this script.
https://github.com/flexiondotorg/oab-java6/blob/master/oab-java6.sh
Alternatively, open up a plain txt file and copy this code into it. The download link will more than likely be more up to date, but i'm putting this here for shiggles. Name it whatever you want.

Whether you download the script, or if you make your own text file, you need to enable the executing permission bit. So change your directory to wherever you saved the script and then in terminal type this and hit enter:
Code:
chmod +x ./whatever_the_script_is_named
Then in the terminal run the script with:
Code:
sudo ./oab-java6.sh
or
Code:
sudo ./whatever_you_named_this_script
What this does, is build packages for your system and places them in a local repository for apt-get to install. This bypasses java anal retentive licensing bullsquash. So, now we need to install it with:
Code:
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre
ENTER
Wait for it to finish and ensure your version is correcty by typing:
Code:
java -version
ENTER
You should get an output similar to:
Code:
[email protected] ~ $ java -version
java version "1.6.0_32"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_32-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.7-b02, mixed mode)
[email protected] ~ $
Hope this helps someone and I hope this is in the correct forum!
Im going to be editing this as it seems there's really no reason to purge OpenJDK from the system, I think. I'm also having some compiling errors so once I get those nailed down, I'll probably just write a guide detailing the entire setup/config for 12.04.
It works !!!
Thanks for posting this, this worked well.
Only thing I would like to add is that if someone is looking to add the java plugin to firefox, then they would need to manually create a link in the firefox plugins directory:
$ cd /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins
$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.32/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so
$ ls -lrt
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 57 2011-12-20 11:05 libnpjp2.so -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.26/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so
Restart firefox, it should work now.
Keep It All!
Hi folks
I'll just chuck an alternative method in for good measure and one that I successfully on ubuntu versions 11.10 , 12.04 and 12.10 as well every other debian derivative
Add these three repositories like so.
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy main multiverse"
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-updates main multiverse"
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner"
sudo apt-get update
You can then install both version 5 and 6 of the sun jdk and leave any existing installs in tact.
For extra beans you can install openjdk-7-jdk without any adverse effects - I ran the following
Code:
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jdk
sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk
After that you can use /bin/update-aleternatives to manage which version to use. for example
Code:
sudo update-alternatives --config java
This gives me the following versions of java to use as my "java" command
Code:
There are 4 choices for the alternative java (providing /usr/bin/java).
Selection Path Priority Status

3 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java 63 manual mode
* 4 /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java 1051 manual mode
Press enter to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number:
Pick which version you need/want to use and away you go, you can switch most of the applications on the java platform painlessy with this method this includes javaws, javah , javac , jdb. if you're working with android only javac and java is required however, so do the same for javac
Code:
sudo update-alternatives --config javac
see "/etc/alternatives" for a list of application which may have alternatives and obviously the man and help has full details and how you can manage applications I also think there is a Kde, Gnome front end for it as well.
I got the repo info for sun jdk 5/6 from google's Android AOSP build instructions

thank you!
Thank you! I've tried many other scripts and sites without success. I should have started with xda for this. Thank you again.
Script location update.
Just an FYI, the location of the script has change, as the author has also included it to install Java 7.
The new location is https github.com/flexiondotorg/oab-java6
NOTE: the script pasted in the OP no longer works as making the .deb file will fail unless you download the jce_poclicy-6.zip. (which the script deletes the next time you run it)
EDIT: I also tested this on Ubuntu 10.04, and it is working for both JRE and JDK
Can you confirm whether this method still works? I have followed the directions here and on the source.android.com website to install sun-java6-sdk and my ubuntu 12.04 is not finding the install package. When I run the update script the hardy repository is giving me 404 errors. Have things changed significantly since this was posted?

Hi There,
Yes I believe they have as I noticed the same thing just recently, Although I will be looking a bit deeper when I installl 13.10. You are better off using the webupd8 team oracle java installer now I think, additionally AOSP master branch doesn't build anymore with the sun java version.

which java version is worth using then? Openjdk v6, 7 or 8? I am considering trying to build CM 10.2 and I see they recommend to use Openjdk. Any thoughts?

I haven't use the openJDK offerings so I couldn't recommend one, I'm afraid. However, I did a little moreresearch google search into Hardy's disappearance. it turns out Hardy Heron 8.04 was EOL'd in May [ Announcement on the Ubuntu Fridge ]
All is not lost though as the hardy repos have just been moved to http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ .
so if If you really need the sun java6 jdk or even sun's java5 jdk you can add these lines to you /etc/apt/sources.list and they should install fine.
Code:
deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-updates main multiverse
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy main multiverse
However as previously mentioned the sun java6 jdk no longer builds the master branch of the AOSP but at least the correct links are there for future reference. Currently Webupd8 team have the latest (now) oracle's version of the java6 jdk which is what I currently use for building. So to install oracle's versions of the jdk, do the following
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository --yes ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer
sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer
sudo apt-get install oracle-java6-installer
Obviously you can use update-alternatives to switch between them as/if required and make's the question of which is worth using/installing kinda moot ... Install them ALL! I haz every java. lol
Thanks

Common Commands used in Linux.
Since, Android is based on Linux, there is much possibility that there is a need to use a Linux based OS. For such use, UBUNTU
is favoured, for its easy and more user friendly.
Today, I am going to Post a few commands that are very useful to the newbies to development
I myself am new, and have faced many problems with this, so I am posting a this thread, to help all the noobs/newbies find what they need in a single place
Okay so, lets start with some basic commands, which can be classified as general commands, and each Linux user MUST KNOW ALL OF THEM !!
Code:
sudo
It simply means "Superuser do". It requires password.
Code:
sudo apt-get install APPLICATION_name
This installs the application finding it on the internet, and gives you the suitable output(If the app exists or not).
Code:
sudo apt-get remove APPLICATION_name
It Removes the application
Code:
sudo apt-get update
it updates the repositories
Code:
sudo apt-get upgrade
upgrades your installed application with their latest versions from Ubuntu repositories
Code:
killall APPLICATION_NAME
kills (terminates) an application
Code:
ps -e
displays currently running processes
Code:
kill APPLICATION_PID
kills an application; where APPLICATION_PID.
NOTE: YOU CAN FIND "PID" USING EARLIER CODE.
Code:
wget http://path_to_file.com
downloads a file from the web to current directory
Code:
cd /PATH/TO/DIR
changes current directory to DIR. Use cd to change the current directory into any dir
Code:
cd ..
Like ms-dos, goes up one directory
Code:
dir
OR
Code:
ls
lists directory content
Code:
man COMMAND
Displays manual for command.
eg: man sudo
Code:
cp ORIGINALFILE NEWFILE
Copy a file
Code:
mv SOURCE DESTINATION
Moves a file
NOTE: YOU CAN ALSO RENAME A FILE WITH THIS.
EG: mv old_filename new_filename
Code:
mkdir FOLDERNAME
Make a directory/folder
Miscellaneous: Level 2
Code:
du -sh folder name
This calculates the size of the folder
Code:
ps -aux
This shows all the running processes
Code:
chown -R User:User dir
Change owner of files and directories
Code:
chmod 777 yourScript
This makes a shell script ".sh" extension
Code:
netstat -anltp | grep "LISTEN"
See all open ports on your machine
Code:
sudo apt-get install ufw
sudo ufw allow 80/tcp
sudo ufw allow 22/tcp
sudo ufw allow 443/tcp
sudo ufw allow 21/tcp
sudo ufw enable
Ubuntu provides a uncomplicated firewall (ufw). To install it and only allow SSH, FTP, and webtraffic use the following command.
Network Commands
Code:
ifconfig
Shows the network connections
WILL UPDATE REGULARLY AS MUCH I COULD.
Code:
passwd
Run after installing Linux when you see "[email protected]:~$" to set your root pass word
Code:
adduser
Replace and run to add a new user
Code:
adduser sudo
Replace and run to add that user to sudo
Code:
sudo apt-get purge
Replace and run to purge your system of that package
Code:
apt-cache search
Replace and run to search for new packages to install
Note: "wild cards" eg "*" are acceptable
Code:
find -type f -iname 'some-compressed-file*' -print0 | xargs -0 sudo tar -vxpzf
Replace with at least the "root" directory you want to search through and Replace " some-compressed-file " (leave the single quotes ' ' and the wild card *) and run to find every file under the given directory that has that name and the pipe " | " it out to tar so that'll extract to your current directory
Note: "find" does the finding, the "-type -f" tells find to only look for files, the "-iname" tells find to search parts of file names, the ' ' around "some-compressed-file" keeps the * from doing bad things, the "print0" tells find to "scrub" for spaces and such before outputting a result, the " | " pipes the results of find to xargs, the "-0" is because of "print0" in the find side of the pipe, and "sudo tar - vxpzf" is where tar extracts the findings of find.
Code:
find $HOME -type f -iname '*zip' -print0 | xargs -0 ls
Run to find and list every zip file under the home folder
Say you want to make a file to contain some notes wile in the command line
Code:
sudo cat > $HOME/someNotes.txt <<EOF
# place a command here
echo "hello world, I update aptget"
sudo apt-get update -q
EOF
Try editing the part after $HOME; type it in or write a file that contains the combo of " cat > $HOME/someNotes.txt <<EOF " some text or commands " EOF " and you'll find making custom scripts of varying complexity to be easy.
.......
Hope some of these are also found to be useful for others.
Thanks for starting this here thread.

To delete contents of a large text file ..
Code:
cat /dev/null > NameOfTheFile
Useful variations of ls command :
Show dir content in a list
Code:
ls -l
Show dir content in a list sorted by modification time (newer first)
Code:
ls -lt
Show dir content in a list sorted by modification time (older first)
Code:
ls -lrt
Show subdirectories recursively
Code:
ls -R
If you want to show files starting with . (hidden file), you can add -a option.
More options with command :
Code:
man ls
Useful variations of grep command :
grep is used to print lines matching a pattern.
Find the entry for current user in file /etc/passwd :
Code:
cat /etc/passwd | grep $USER
Find all the entry except current user entry in file /etc/passwd :
Code:
cat /etc/passwd | grep -v $USER
Find all the numbers in file /etc/passwd :
Code:
cat /etc/passwd|grep '[0-9]*'
Add color to grep command :
Code:
cat /etc/passwd | grep --color $USER
(You can add
Code:
alias grep='grep --color=auto'
in ~/.bashrc to always have colored grep)
Useful variations of tar command :
Create archive_name.tar from dirname :
Code:
tar cvf archive_name.tar dirname/
Create archive_name.tar.gz (compressed) from dirname :
Code:
tar zcvf archive_name.tar.gz dirname/
Extract archive_name.tar.gz :
Code:
tar zxvf archive_name.tar.gz
Useful variations of mkdir command :
Create directory and subdirectories if not existing :
Code:
mkdir -p /tmp/a/b/c
(mkdir /tmp/a/b/c will fail if /tmp/a and /tmp/a/b don't exist)
Useful tip :
Use bash variable "!$" to get the value of the last argument of the last command interpreted.
For example :
Code:
mkdir /tmp/test_a
cd !$ (equivalent cd /tmp/test_a)
or,
Code:
mv /tmp/a /tmp/b
ls !$ (equivalent ls /tmp/b)

I installed the latest version of Flashtool for Linux. I followed the instructions at flashtool. net/install. php and tried to run './Flashtool'. here is the output:
[[email protected] FlashTool]# ./FlashTool
Running as root.
JAVA_HOME not set. Using default value : ./x10flasher_lib/linjre64
libusb.LibUsbException: Libusb not found. Minimum libusb version is 1.0.15. It can be downloaded on libusbx. org

I have libusbx 1.0.16 and libusb 0.1.5 installed, so how can I debug this? if someone can forward this to Androxyde I will be very grateful.
I am running Fedora 19 x64 with both 32 and 64 bit libs installed, as per Flashtool site instructions. Current Java (Oracle) is Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_45-b18), 64-bit version.
Thank you

I found on my system (arch linux) the libusbx libs were named differently from what flashtool is looking for.
FlashTool was looking for "/usr/lib/libusbx-1.0.so" and "/usr/lib/libusbx-1.0.so.0.1.0"
but what i had was "/usr/lib/libusb-1.0.so" and "/usr/lib/libusb-1.0.so.0.1.0" respectively.
I created Symbolic links so that flashtool would find what it was looking for...
"ln -s /usr/lib/libusb-1.0.so.0.1.0 /usr/lib/libusbx-1.0.so.0.1.0"
&
"ln -s /usr/lib/libusb-1.0.so /usr/lib/libusbx-1.0.so"
(Ran in root terminal without qoutes) That fixed it for me.
Perhaps those libs are also named differently on fedora too? i used "find / -name libusb*" (in root terminal without qoutes) to check for them on my system.
It's also possible to change the searched for filenames in "FlashTool" (the launching script) itself by editing it but that would need to be redone with every new version unless fixed/changed by the developers. the lines that would need changed are..
"ln -sf libusbx-1.0.so.0.1.0 ./x10flasher_lib/linux/lib32/libusbx-1.0.so"
"ln -sf libusbx-1.0.so.0.1.0 ./x10flasher_lib/linux/lib64/libusbx-1.0.so"
(I've bolded the part to be changed for flashtool-0.9.13.0, it might be different in the future)
Hope this helps :good:
I decided to change flashtool's script/launcher so it looks for libusbx in a more robust (i hope) way. i've attached the changed file. If this works for you then we can submit the changes to the devs for their consideration.

***EDIT*** I found a downside. The the new script/launcher is going to find and use either the old libusb or libusbx so it may create more problems than it solves for some users if they dont install libusbx before using flashtool.
Another problem will arise if the distro's libusbx package maintainers havent over written the old libusb libs to use libusbx as a drop in replacement like on arch and fedora 19 (i checked inside the fedora libusbx package before) because the changed script/launcher will likely link to libusb before libusbx if they are sitting next to each other.

first go to this http://www.libusbx.org
and download latest source (tarball)
extract that .tar.gz and go to that dir
now run the following commands
Code:
./config
make
sudo make install
assuming your Flashtool folder is in home
run the following commands
Code:
cd
cp /usr/local/lib/libusb-1.0.so.0.1.0 FlashTool/x10flasher_lib/linux/lib64
cp /usr/local/lib/libusb-1.0.so.0.1.0 FlashTool/x10flasher_lib/linux/lib32
replace the FlashTool script in FlashTool folder by this one FlashTool
FlashTool developer decided to bundle full JRE (both 32 and 64 bit) plus all these binaries and libraries with a relatively simple Java application for some strange reason. Lame. I've spent more than an hour downloading the 113 MB 7z archive from some sh*tty file-share service, instead spending just 1/4 of that time, and do something useful for the rest!
An average Linux user should be able to install these deps by herself, all she needs is a decent README specifiying the deps...
At least with the Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy), libusb, which is at version 1.0.1.16, should work, so one does not need no freakin libusbx... This is for Saucy x86_64;
Code:
# One also needs basic 32-bit support, for running stuff like bin2sin, check libc6:i386 or similar:
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot libusb-1.0-0 default-jre
sudo ln -s libusb-1.0.so.0.1.0 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libusbx-1.0.so
# Remove 260MB of rubbish:
cd <wherever you unpacked FlashTool>
rm -rf x10flasher_lib/{adb,fastboot}.linux x10flasher_lib/lin*
ln -s /usr/bin/adb x10flasher_lib/adb.linux
ln -s /usr/bin/fastboot x10flasher_lib/fastboot.linux
ln -s swt64.jar x10flasher_lib/swtlin/swt.jar
