SEAndroid, SE as Security Enhanced

Hello guys,
As I didn't succed to find an artical discussing SEAndroid so I decided to make this thread
To my understanding, SEAndroid, is a security enhanced Android version built by NSA which uses SELinux as it backbone, this version enforce the separation between apps, and thus it solves the critical issues coming from mallicious apps.
It is totally Open source, so everyone can download it and use it

Ubuntu will boot on the Sensatin.
Do a search. There's a whole thread on it somewhere around here, complete with instructions on how to do it. From what I understand it worked pretty well.
It's been a couple months since I've seen that thread though. So sorry, I don't recall which of the Sensation forums it's in.

I'll give it a search I'll let you know the results

Sorry guys this no longer works...
Ubuntu removed alot of the files needed to run it on a phone off of their website which is why you are getting the errors on the script to try and install it.
Recapped:
Here's what I mean the website the script is going to to get the files no longer exists...
Heres an example to see for yourself: http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports....9-4_armel.deb
I will try and find a new link to plug in but for now it DOES NOT WORK!
Thank you for your patience on the thread,

[Q] gingerbread

As of right now, what is holding us back from porting gingerbread to our sidekicks? Is it drivers? Or a 2.3 kernel that runs? I need a list of what needs to be done exactly.

And, here:

Hope that helps!

Thank you, but I've seen both of those and followed them to the end. I'm looking for a specific list of what is needed to port gingerbread to our device. As in i may take up the task of porting it
Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA

Would probably be a good idea to continue where windixxi left off since hes the closest person to get ginger working on our phone.

i think i remember Sduvick explaining that the drivers for this device are not exactly generic, so we really need an official Gingerbread kernel from Samsung. i'm pretty sure he tried porting a gb kernel from another device, but without updated drivers for the SK4G, it was basically impossible. that's how i understand it anyway.

Thank you yogi for the info and yes pintek im aware of windxixi great work but i cant figure out his github at all. Its not labeled well.. so more or less its a drivers issue?

Basically? That's what I understood as well.

So instead of trying to port drivers we would have to write new drivers in theory since we don't have a source to build from?

It's no small job. Here's sduvick's assessment of the issue:

Thanks for the reading orange. Gave me the idea that the kernel is going to have to be a makeshift mix and match type thing from kernels from multiple phones.

I agree.
As mentioned previously, maybe windixxi can provide some insight as well.
You're probably going to need some experience and knowledge of coding (i.e. C, Python, Java) and access to a Linux rig of some sort as well..

Yes im going to setup a linux enviroment soon i was thinking ubuntu but i havent setup a linux in a while are their any better alternatives?

I recommend installing a hard drive specifically for your Linux environment and using the bios to switch between your boot OS.
But, I also have Ubuntu installed inside of VirtualBox. It's a bit slow, but it works inside of Windows.

so awesome that Samsung are such *****es about this haha

Sounds like i may be in need of a better computer. Ill see what i can do with what i have and start looking into kernels with stuff we need
Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA

I think there's a kernel guide here you could look at.
A OC/UV Kernel would be fabulous.

I might try that to get me back into the groove of things, things are going slow with classes though so nobody should get their hopes up yet. But if i manage to buil an oc/uv kernel sucessfully, then my next project will be working on a gingerbread kernel. Ill keep you guys posted in the weeks to come.

If you (or other SK4G developers) are interested, I may be able to arrange a build server.

As in a place to host the kernels we build?

Who Would Like an All In One Android Dev Set Up Script?

Hey everyone, I am thinking about writing a shell script for getting all the stuff you need for andoid dev set up. I think this would be really useful for some people and would save a lot of time for aspiring developers. Of course this would be for linux at first and it would more or less include:
1. install repo and offer to download aosp/cm9/any other you want source
2.set up basic dependencies for building source and such, including proper java version
3. install rom kitchen
4.install apktool/apkmanager and all its stuff
5. add stuff to path and add useful aliases
and anything else you guys want.
Let me here some input here on what you think before I spend a bunch of time doing this, and if people seem to like it I will go ahead.

Cm 11 -experimental-

Hi,
Where I can get the .zip for the experimental builds?
Not the nightlies
If these .zip files doesn't exist, how can I do my own? Where I can find a guide or somenthing to do that.
Thanks!

I don't recommend trying to set up a rig to build for novice users. With that said, it is something you can do with some time and effort. If you choose to build Android on your machine, it will (probably) be tough. It also may take your machine hours to do the work. Keep that in mind..
Google is your friend. Keep in mind, you cannot compile Android on Windows, so you will need a virtual machine or a (dual boot) Linux partition on your hard drive.
Once you have the basics in place, I'm sure the rest of us can help you iron out any little issues with linking.

The CyanogenMod Wiki has some good information for how to get started:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Build_for_apexqtmo (This guide has a few things specific to building CM 10.2, but you change the repo init line to read cm-11.0 instad, and you'll be fine to follow along with what I'm mentioning)
To build the Hypnotoad builds, you follow that through the point that you are done with Section 2.7 (Get prebuilt apps)
Then instead of running breakfast, and trying to extract blobs, add the manifest linked in the development thread to .repo/local_manifests.
Run repo sync again,
apply the cherry pick list (after envsetup, repopick <list>)
Then skip to section 2.11 (Start the build)
If you want to use ccache to speed up subsequent builds, follow section 2.10

Thanks! I gonna research and try.
Thanks for the information
