Optware for Android, another try - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

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

[SCRIPT] 32A - 32B detection script

Hi,
I don't know how-to detect if a device is 32B or 32A automatically.... Logically, if we do a free command during recovery install, we can AUTOMATICALLY check if it's a 32B/A, then, we create a gile on sdcard called 32B/A, or a prop, and when it flash kernel, or wifi module or sound things, we include this prop in the script
Can anyone create this script?
[EDIT]
Many Thanks to Firerat who mades the script, and a little to me, who has the idea!
So the script is here:
Code:
#!/sbin/sh
# Idea : Artifex14
# script : Firerat => THE BEST!
# 28.06.10
ram=`free|awk '/Mem/ { print $2 }'`
if [ "ram" -gt "97884" ];
then
model=32a
echo "32a"
else
model=32b
echo "This device is a 32b"
fi
if [ "model" = "32a" ];
then
ln -s /tmp/boot.img /tmp/boot32a.img
ln -s /dev/null /tmp/boot32b.img
else
ln -s /tmp/boot.img /tmp/boot32b.img
ln -s /dev/null /tmp/boot32a.img
fi
I thought about this too. It could be done at the time the rom is flashed, but up to now I only know how to make update-script, not updater-script or update-binary. You could pack all sorts of boot images, and then, say, a system-dream, system-sapphire, and system-magic folder and depending on the board version property, flash the appropriate versions of files, at least in theory that should work, plus it prevents you from having to flash extra files just for cross-device compatibility.

Can you do the script? For the updaterscript, it's OK!
et a script to run
Code:
free|awk '/Mem/ { print $2 }'
and test that, e.g.
Code:
#!/sbin/sh
# KernelPrep.sh
ram=`free|awk '/Mem/ { print $2 }'`

get your updater script to run that, then copy your kernels to /tmp/
Code:
package_extract_dir("kernels", "/tmp");
or
Code:
copy_dir PACKAGE:kernels TMP:
next you can
Code:
write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img", "boot"),
or
Code:
write_raw_image TMP:boot.img BOOT:
edit:
ps, you don't really need the second if statement, but its easier to read like that
oops , nearly forgot about the kernel modules
Code:
mount /system
install -d /system/lib/modules
ln -s /system/lib/modules /tmp/modules32a
ln -s /dev/null /tmp/modules32b

Your prompt takes too much space, and it contains date + time, which are already shown on the screen (top and bottom).
Just make the prompt PS1='\e[34m\[email protected]\h:\w \$ \e[0m' so it's ready for cut&paste, e.g. when you're copying files with scp.

Tizen chrooted for Android

Hello xda-developers!
I'm trying to port Tizen for samsung wave 1.
But now I'm doing some research.
This thread will be my research on doing a chrooted scripts and try to boot a Tizen 2 Alpha working through vnc-viewer.
I'll write here my scripts for everyone to test it.
After these scripts an app. But now scripts.
This thread will be updated everytime I get a spare time to write it.
Thanks!
Tutorial:
First download the image from the torrent file.
Copy it for your extsd or sdcard phone/tablet.
It's to copy the image file from Tizen 2 Alpha for these two places.
And on terminal emulator run the tizen_run bash file.
Test it and I will test it too as I'm writing this tutorial and post.
Rename the script tizen_run.sh.txt to tizen_run.sh
Thanks !
PS: This code was changed to work with Tizen 2 Alpha I'm going to test it now.
I've putted here for everyone can get work it too.

what can we do with this file?
In badadroid vnc-viewer and terminal emulator You can run Tizen under android.

sorry for the noobs questions, but how??
Edit 1:
I saw your tutorial just now, but I did not understand what to do in the terminal emulator?
There's no problem at all.
You need to copy the code into a file bash(.sh) with the name tizen_run.sh
Then in badadroid run it an app called terminal emulator to get into vnc-viewer.
As a loopback image inside android.
I'm trying to run it as an application like linuxonandroid.

I think I am not smart enough to do understand you..
But thanks anyway..
Okay.
I'll upload here the file to run on terminal emulator.
I'm testing the app for android.
I'll upload it here.
Something wrong.There are no permission to tizen_run.sh
I can't test
New link for image tizen:
http://tizen-kernel-s8500.googlecode.com/files/tizen.7z.001
Try this command:
sh tizen_run.sh
or
./tizen_run.sh
Copied Tizen.img (latest one) to sd card
Copied tizen_run.sh to sd card
Then on Android (Nand Ver.) Emulator tried
sh tizen_run.sh ---> no such file or directory
./tizen_run.sh ---> not found
I'm going to check it out.
type this on terminal emulator:
cd /mnt/extsd - if exists
cd folder "where the Tizen.img and script is located"
then
sh tizen_run.sh
or
./tizen_run.sh

Sorry about not saying any news.
Next week another build and a better script with an app for badadroid.

[Q] Latest Linux version of Flashtool does not see libusb

As I still don't made sufficient posts to put it directly to dev forum, it's here. Admins, please move it to correct sections as you desire.
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
at libusb.UsbSystem.initSystem(UsbSystem.java:28)
at libusb.UsbSystem.<init>(UsbSystem.java:15)
at linuxlib.JUsb.init(JUsb.java:21)
at gui.Main.initLinuxUsb(Main.java:47)
at gui.Main.main(Main.java:34)
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
***EDIT*** This post is no longer relevant, check the next post down.

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.

***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
# Now, start the application
java -Xms128m -Xmx512m -Duser.language=en -jar x10flasher.jar

when i execute above command..it gives this error..

Edit: aha..finally flashtool successfully started with this method..i just replaced -s with -sf which forcefully does the operation

Rooting the webOS TV

pivotce.com informs that instructions have been published on gaining root access to a webOS TV. This is much harder than on the old phones and tablets. When this was done on legacy webOS, there was a wave of enhancements and tweaks made available to phone users from webOS Internals and other developers.
The instructions can be found on the Russian webOS forums here: webos-forums.ru/topic4650.html (English Translation via Google).
As the thread itself notes, this creates the possibility of fiddling with your TV in a way that may turn it into a large, thin brick and will almost certainly invalidate your warranty. The general user should stay well clear of this.
pivotCE published this for information only and recommend leaving investigations to those who know what they are doing or who can afford to wreck expensive television sets. We will watch to see if anything interesting emerges from this development.

Detailed analysis of the root access method described above:
forums.webosnation.com/lg-webos-tv/331754-pivotce-seems-webos-tv-has-been-rooted.html#post3450911
Hello!
I'm from webos-forums.ru. I've root on TV for a while and can help you with translation or testing on LG webOS 1.4.

I could use your help rooting my lg 65uf6450-ua if you would. Thank you

1. You need to install Developer Mode App and export private ssh-key with CLI (webostv.developer.lge.com/develop/app-test)
2. Convert private ssh-key with puttygen [import key <your private ssh-key>, then save private key]
3. Download exploit (zalil.su/6937580), then connect with TV User: prisoner, [<ip-tv>:9922] + private-key with WinSCP (or other SCP-client), upload to /media/developer on TV and rename it to root.
on linux
Code:
ssh -i <your private ssh-key> [email protected]<ip-tv> -p 9922 "/bin/sh -i"
4.
Code:
chmod +x root
Code:
./root
5. After try install any app from market go to LG App Store and try to install any app.
6. if third stage ok. the insert password 1111 as said.
7.
Code:
busybox chroot /proc/1/root
Code:
[email protected]tTV:/# id
Code:
uid=0(root) gid=0(root)........
I personally use Linux Subsystem on Windows 10 for all of this.
To install .ipk app:
Code:
ApplicationInstallerUtility -c install -p /tmp/<any-name>.ipk -u 0 -l /media/developer -d
Info about your linux kernel and TV firmware:
Code:
luna-send -n 1 -f luna://com.palm.systemservice/osInfo/query '{ "subscribe": false }'
Launch app:
Code:
luna-send -n 1 -f luna://com.webos.applicationManager/launch '{"id": "netflix"}'
All apps ID you can find with
Code:
luna-send -n 1 "palm://com.palm.applicationManager/listLaunchPoints" "{}"
or at a folder /media/cryptofs/apps/usr/palm/applications/<App ID>/appinfo.json
For permanent root access through telnet:
1)
Code:
[email protected]:/# mkdir -p /media/cryptofs/root/etc
2)
Code:
[email protected]:/# cp -r /etc/* /media/cryptofs/root/etc
3)
Code:
[email protected]:/# mount -o bind /media/cryptofs/root/etc /etc
4)
Code:
[email protected]:/# passwd root
Enter any new root password
5)
Code:
cp /media/cryptofs/apps/usr/palm/services/com.palmdts.devmode.service/start-devmode.sh /tmp/start-devmode.sh
6) Download with WinSCP start-devmode.sh and edit it locally.
You need to add at the beginning
Code:
mount -o bind /media/cryptofs/root/etc /etc
telnetd -l /sbin/sulogin &
Plus you can add the line to launch any App at start, e.g:
Code:
luna-send -n 1 -f luna://com.webos.applicationManager/launch '{"id": "netflix", "params":{}}'
And comment Dev Mode online check.
Here it's mine start-devmode.sh. It's for webOS 1.4. It can be different for other webOS versions:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
mount -o bind /media/cryptofs/root/etc /etc
telnetd -l /sbin/sulogin &
#luna-send -n 1 -f luna://com.webos.applicationManager/launch '{"id": "netflix", "params":{}}'

Ok, so I get run the root app and first ,second , and third stage all are good. then it says try get root password is 1111. But the terminal keeps freezing after that happens. A couple times my tv rebooted too. I cant figure out what i could have messed up. ANyone with any experience using this method have any legit information?

I tried it stil seems to finish step 3 then says enter 1111. But this is where it freezes up and does not get any further.

Hi, would the root access allow somehow to connect other bluetooth devices different than LG? Thanks!
You can do pretty much anything to the system with root, even include support for unsupported devices in form of additional kernel modules.
For example, I've added Samba support so I can mount use my NAS (see my blog at ddscentral dot org for details).
Hey guys is it possible to install android apps into WebOS? I just bought an Lg oled LG 55EG9A7V i want to use Perfect Player IPTV but i cant install it right now...Other then that i dont need anything else..
