[BINARY] GNU Nano editor v2.2.6 for Android

I have managed to successfully cross-compile GNU Nano editor 2.2.6 to run on Android and decided to share it here.
Please note that you need to set up terminfo (if your ROM doesn't have it already), by running:
Code:
export TERMINFO=/system/etc/terminfo
export TERM=linux
Unfortunately, it doesn't fully work through adb shell due to the fact that [enter]-key can't be used (this is a bug of adb shell).
It works flawlessly over ssh, although.

Great! Thanks for the information. :good:
As soon as I have time for that I will apply the patch and release a new binary.

You are welcome.
I guess you will like this patch too:
http://www.faircode.eu/freexperia/update/terminfo.patch
(I have composed it for CM9, but I guess you known how to modify it, when needed)
Edit: use git apply instead of patch

how do i install this in my phone?

ARM cross-compiling how-to
Assuming a toolchain is already present on the build environment, here are the instructions on how to cross-compile Nano 2.2.6 for ARM devices:
Set the path to C compiler:
Code:
export CC=~/toolchain/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc
After you have unpacked the sources change to the source directory:
Code:
cd nano-2.2.6
Now configure the source:
Code:
./configure --host=arm-none-linux-gnueabi
To compile the sources (statically) type this:
Code:
make LDFLAGS=--static

Here is the fully working version of Nano 2.2.6 for Android (without the [enter]-key bug). Enjoy. :victory:

Great job!
I went ahead and packaged this in a flashable zip for people, it also adds a script to /sbin so you can (temporarily) use nano from the recovery console in AROMA Filemanager during that recovery session.

Good idea! Thank you.

@bgcngm Any way to fix the output when used through AROMA Filemanager's Terminal Console? Scrolling borks things.
Mention me back when you get the chance.

How do I exit Nano in the android Terminal emulator
Edit: I found out hacker's keyboard's ctrl key helps with this problem

If anyone has this issue, let me help out:
In Windows, running nano and vim through ADB returns weird characters on the terminal, and you need ansicon.
Or better use ConEmu.

That's right. It is documented on the internet, that Ansicon is a requirement for Windows if you use command prompt. As you say, better go with a good terminal emulator.

@bgcngm will u update it to v2.4.2 plz?

Just tried to install through CWM on Cyanogenmod 10.1 Unofficial for Samsung Infuse, and got "installation aborted." Any idea what my problem might be?

The .zip that is available is not to be installed from recovery and that's why you are not able to do it.

about Go Language
Go, also called golang, is a programming language initially developed at Google in 2007 by Robert Griesemer, Rob Pike, and Ken Thompson.It is a statically-typed language with syntax loosely derived from that of C, adding automatic memory management, type safety, some dynamic-typing capabilities, additional built-in types such as variable-length arrays and key-value maps, and a large standard library. Beyond that broad category, Go is defined by:
-A syntax and environment adopting patterns more common in dynamic languages:
Concise variable declaration and initialization through type inference (x*:= 0 not int x = 0.
-Fast compilation times.
-Remote package management (go get).and online package documentation
-Distinctive approaches to particular problems.
-Built-in concurrency primitives: light-weight processes (goroutines), channels, and the select statement.
-An interface system in place of virtual inheritance, and type embedding instead of non-virtual inheritance.
-A toolchain that, by default, produces statically linked native binaries without external dependencies.
-A desire to keep the language specification simple enough to hold in a programmer's head,in part by omitting features common to similar languages:
no type inheritance
no method or operator overloading
no circular dependencies among packages
no pointer arithmetic
no assertions
no generic programming
about Go4Droid
Although Go is a Google project ,it has not option for building for Android !Also It has there is no way to use it on your Android device and do compiling(instead of cross-compiling) (beacuase it does not building for external host and target).All this reasons made me think about this project and finally I ported a complete set of Go compiler, Go linker, Go Packages and also net support !.
You can easily write go codes , compile them, run them and install them. There are lots of packages which let you write amazing programs.

usage
This thread is not supposed to be a GoLang tutorial , however I explain main options.
* Do not forget to get root before anything :
Code:
su
1- Use this command to run a .go file (file = helloworld.go):
Code:
go run helloworld.go
2- Use this command to compile a .go file and generate an executable :
Code:
go build helloworld.go
./helloworld
3- Use this command to compile & install a code file:
Code:
go install helloworld.go
helloworld
example
Code:
package main
import "fmt"
func main() {
fmt.Println("Hello, World")
}

help the project
Every single build takes +30 minutes on my Android device so it would be difficult to manage this project. You can help me by donating me a VPS/Dedicated server then I will be able to update and manage this project faster and better.

Well done man! I'm trying it now
Will report results soon

I 've spend +10 hours on this project for 0 people using it !

That's great, man. You beat Google to it!
This looks interesting, but without access to the UI or Android APIs, we're pretty limited, right?

There is no Android JNI support yet (and unfortunately no plan to do it). However it has a great builtin API with net,archive,fs,os,image,... support.

Great project,
Thanks for that.

Still no NDK support for Go?

Go has no Android JNI support thus there is no Go support in NDK .

{How-TO}host web on github

So you want to launch a simple website but don’t want to have to go through the dull process of setting up yet another hosting package.Or you dont have money to buy a hosting package as they are often expensive and limited if you dont have enough money. There is an easier solution. If you just want to launch a simple static website you can use GitHub Pages to host your site for free.
Lets get started.
GUIDE CONTENTS:
HTML:
***How to start.(Requirments,How to make a repository,
How to make a proper branch,
How to prepare your web,
How to upload.
***Using a custom domain.
***Some final thoughts
***Help users(help each other....))
Needed:
PHP:
***A github account
***Some basic git knowladge
***A domain
***Knowladge about forwarding
Thats it.
Step 1:
All webpages containt some basic stuff.Your webpage contains for example:
PHP:
***index.html (your main page)
***example.html (some other page)
***assets (a folder containing your assets)
***css (cascading style sheet){your website style}
***img(web images duh)
***js(some simple or not that simple javascript files)
So all this needs to be uploaded somewhere.You ask me where ?Well we are gonna host on github ,right? Then lets upload it there.
Go to your github account.And go to the repositories tab.Then click new.And name your repository whatever you want.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Step 1 is complete.Congratulations lets move on.
Step 2 is all about a little terminal play.
Step 2:
Now open up terminal (command prompt on Windows) and make sure that you have a copy of your GitHub repo on your computer. Once you got your local copy, move into the project folder using the cd command.
How are you going to that you can see in the following example.
PHP:
// Retrieve a copy of your GitHub repo.
git clone https://github.com/user/repository.git
// Move into that directory.
cd repository
Creating an Orphan Branch
Now you need to create a new orphan branch within your repo that will hold all of your website files.
This new branch should be called gh-pages.
PHP:
git checkout --orphan gh-pages
If you already had files in the master branch of your GitHub repo you now need to delete these from the new gh-pages branch. To do this you can use the following command:
PHP:
git rm -rf .
Adding Your Website Files
Now that your repo has been properly setup it’s time to add all of the HTML, CSS and JavaScript files that make up your website. Once you have added these to your repo you need to commit the changes. To do this you can use the following command.
PHP:
git commit -a -m "Adding pages"
Note: The -a flag is shorthand for git add .
Congratulations step 2 is now complete.
Step 3:
Pushing Your Changes to GitHub
Okay so you’ve got all your files where they need to be. The only thing left to do now is to push the new gh-pages branch up to GitHub. You do this using the git push command.
PHP:
git push origin gh-pages
That’s it! Your website should now be available at http://username.github.io/repository/.

[GUIDE][ARM32] Patching your own init and sepolicy

Hi guys!
I am posting a very noob friendly guide on replacing init with your patched init file. This will help loading the patched sepolicy and can get temporary unrestricted root shell.
This guide is a prequel to the guide I already posted.
A big thank you to my friend @matteogenacio for helping me out to compiling all the files and patching sepolicy and helping when I was stuck!
Requirements:
(1) dirtyc0w temporary root shell tool: Click Here (Windows only)
(2) dirtyc0w files needed: https://github.com/matteoserva/dirtycow-arm32/archive/master.zip
(2) IDA Pro (Demo version is ok)
(3) HexEditor
(4) You need Ubuntu
(5) Android NDK Compiler
(6)android-libsepol : https://android.googlesource.com/platform/external/libsepol
(7) LOT OF PATIENCE

→ Patching your init and loading it into your phone:
(1) Open run_for_arm_devices.bat.
(2) Type "id". You get something similar to this screenshot:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
(3) Type "cp init /sdcard/". Your original init file is copied into the sdcard.
(4) Type "exit" two times to get out of the shell.
(5) Type "adb pull /sdcard/init". The init file is copied into your computer.
(6) Open your init file in IDA PRO.
(7) Compare it with this source code: Click Here
(8) Look for the function which looks similar to this (This actually relates to bootchart_sample() function which you saw in the C++ code above):
(9) Compile shellcode.s using this command: arm-linux-androideabi-as shellcode.s -o shellcode
(10) Open shellcode file in HexEditor.
(11) Copy the content between AAAAINIT and AAAAFINE.
(12) Open init in XDA and copy the shellcode just after the "PUSHW {R4-R11,LR} line.
(13) My patched init file looked like this (more images to be added):
(14) At the end of the shellcode add "POP.W {R4-R11,PC}; NOP" instruction manually. Use ARMConverter. Copy the "Thumb2 HEX" Code.
(15) Click on File> Create DIFF File. Use a IDA Diff patcher to patch your original init.
(16) Now we have to load the init file. Turn off screen and wait 10 seconds.
(17) Type "adb push <your patched init file> /data/local/tmp".
(18) Open "run_for_arm_devices.bat".
(19) Type "run-as con". Then type "cd /data/local/tmp".
(20) Type "./a.out /init ./init". If it gives you "load destination error", try this one "./dirtycow /init ./init".
→ Injecting your sepolicy with rules for unrestricted access:
(1) Compile sepolicy-inject. Type this "gcc -std=gnu11 *.c -o t -I ../libsepol/include/ ../libsepol/src/libsepol.a -DARG_MAX=128" in terminal.
(2) Copy the the compiled sepolicy-inject file into sepolicy_generator. In sepolicy_generator folder, run ./installa.sh file.
(3) Now we have to copy the patched sepolicy file into phone. Type "adb push <your patched sepolicy file> /data/local/tmp/sepolicy".
Finally, open "adb logcat | grep audit". Look for messages that your sepolicy is loaded.
Hey we got root(temporary & unrestricted access)!
→ Notes:
(1) This works for only ARM32 Devices.
(2) This guide works regardless of your Android version. You can check if your phone is vulnerable to dirtyc0w using my debugging tools which I posted them in my guide.
(2) Another big thank you to my friend @matteogenacio for helping me out to compiling all the files and patching sepolicy and helping when I was stuck!

I'm glad I found this. I'm hoping maybe this can be converted to 64 bit, using a 64 bit dirty cow shell.
If you look in my thread, injecting root & setting SELinux, we have a 64bit shell.

Sorry if it's a noob question, but is "sepolicy" compatible between devices? My policy has attributes I wish it didn't have and I don't know how to remove them. So I thought replacing it with another one.

Was looking around XDA for a "guru's thread' on SeLinux - and found this one.
My Util bindfs wont work cos of SeL denials and I need help "neutralizing" the denial by changing SePolicy or alternatively running any relevant chron . So I'm putting my Q here. If ain't of relevance I'll Del it
A non root file explorer can rename existing file with bindfs but it cant create new files aka WhatsApp downloads fail
My Samsung Stock ROM SeLinux logging is disabled.
grep -i avc /proc/kmsg dmesg | grep -i avc logcat | grep -i avc
No results from above. So I cant figure out what's hurting the Create Perm
So I ( hopeully ) recreated the scenario on another Android 9 phone with SeLinux state changeable ( the other 1 is perm. enforced). & I get this avc denial
9421 9421 W com.whatsapp: type=1400 audit(0.0:15540): avc: denied { create } for comm=4D65646961446F776E6C6F61642023 name="LW9n+rkip578Ox9pPGthBD5DGfO7rIMxJyDHRHjQ9ZY=.tmp" scontext=u:r:untrusted_app:s0:c122,c257,c512,c768 tcontext=u:object_r:sdcardfs:s0 tclass=file permissive=0
So the issue could be untrusted app or becos my target /data/sdext3 has unlabeled context ?
ls -Zd /data/sdext3
u:object_r:unlabeled:s0 /data/sdext3
BTW just FYI chron fails. Why so ?
chcon -Rh u:object_r:sdcardfs:s0 /data/sdext3` # before that I `chown -R`ed to `root` entire `/data/sdext3` o/p of ths is `chcon: '/data/sdext3/j37 WhatsApp/data/colornote/backup/1606263606732-AUTO.doc' to u:object_r:sdcardfs:s0:
# Permission denied - throws this error for all files
. Does it mean I have to recompile kernel with updated policy OR any work-around ?

first, glad to see you use programming on linux, i encourage you continue using it and learn it
that "WARN", is normal when starting studio from command line.
check in ~/HOME/AndroidStudioProjects directory, (if you allowed android studio to install location for projects in ~/HOME/AndroidStudioProjects, and in ~/HOME directory check if you have "Android" directory, there is located Sdk tools.
check permissions for directories, just check this website , cd (open directory, terminal command) to ~/HOME/AndroidStudioProjects;
Code:
~/HOME/AndroidStudioProjects
, and check permissions via
Code:
ls -l
, or
Code:
cd AndroidStudioProjects
to get deeper into, to list project directories you have, and check their permissions, they need to have write, and read permissions for owner at least
And replace ~/HOME, with your name you use in linux, if command don't work, so not to get confused there

Thanks so much for you help and encouragement for programming with linux!
I checked the permissions of the folder and am seeing:
Code:
drwxrwxr-x
Which I think means that I have permissions for this folder.
