[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 }'`
if [ "ram" -gt "97884" ];
then
model=32a
else
model=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
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

I'll try that, THANK!

Optware for Android, another try

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

[GUIDE] Simple Java6 installation on Precise/Mint-Maya/Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

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).

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

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

I'll post a new file.
To see what happens.

in the first topic i have a txt file rename it on linux.
mv tizen_run.sh.txt tizen_run.sh

news??

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

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.

rooting
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":{}}'

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.
