Sorry to bring back a year old thread. A friend of mine has this phone with no warranty. It is Boost Mobile stock unrooted. He tried a factory reset and that didn't work. I tried to catch the logcat during a reboot but while connected to the computer for several hours it never rebooted ( maybe...

A friend of mine has a Suamsung Galaxy S II from Boost Mobile. It has been randomly rebooting on him. I offered some assistance, though I am not an expert (perhaps slightly beyond a novice). I am going over to his house in a few hours to pull the last kernel message and to run ADB to and...

Cool, someone else found the link. My lazyness. Going over the article one more time I realize, I was wrong. It is actually only $30 for 28 days of tracking. Not that it matters, unless your government is wrong on some issue and stalking protesters who disagree with them.

CNET recently posted an article about the cost of cell phone tracking being a big factor in why they want to be able to track people that way instead of actually following them. So the cost of being able to monitor your actions via your cell phone is a major factor in them trying to strip...

I left Sprint after the first month. I bought one account, my first bill was for two plans, either someone got a month of free service on me, or no one got free service and I had to pay double. I just stopped paying and kept all their fancy gadgets I got with the contract, I am not sure how that...

bump Where can I upload some files to for free? Apperently my root-fs's and zips are too big...

How to add glibc stack to Android, bringing out the Penguin within. Important note: I am still working out the kinks, learning, etc. This is not ment to be a daily use rom, esspecially what I put up for downloading and testing. Consider them teasers to get you to build your own. Downloads...

My bad, as soon as I got into recovery I flashed a known working zip. I am going to keep trying to build a custom kernel but I would like to figure out how to configure it within my source tree and let it get compiled with a rom. but here is a cat of /proc/last_kmsg just incase it survived...

Scratch that, I pulled the battery and pushed the buttons more cautiously (nervous shakes), in recovery. What do ya think it coulda been? I disabled paranoid networking, removed CIFS, and changed NFS to Modules instead of built-ins. Edit: I'll try cross compiling on my lap-top, maybe had to...

Well, I hope all is not lost. I took my last working zip I built and used an archive manager to crack it open, I replaced the zImage with the one I built on my phone. Then I replaced all .ko files that where built in system/lib/modules and closed the archive. I flashed it to my phone and...

If you don't mind me asking, Why Ubuntu Touch, what makes it so much better than just adding /lib, /bin, /usr/* , /var etc... as empty folders in ramdisk and then mounting to them from linux.img mounted during boot with a custom init.linux.rc, x11 based gui programs wont work obviously, but I...

There is a pppd-ril option in the kernel, hope that helps.

I just successfully built a kernel with my phone over nfs (wifi). I used gcc-armhf or rather to be specific, when it complained I set 'CROSS_COMPILER=/usr/bin/', cleaned, and retried. Everything seems to have went fine, and as expected I have the zImage in arch/arm/boot and the modules are...

Probably not, Theoretically yes, Stick to the market and do not download apps from untrusted sources, Same goes for any system, Ever have a program ask for admin privledges to make changes to this computer on Windows? Same thing, except on Android that data the apps get access to is divided so...

I am compiling a kernel on my phone right now using gcc for armhf (if not its armel), so my question is: Do I need to us an arm-abi toolchain or what ever? I ask becasue this is not cross compiling, I have the source on my pc and is served via NFS. I have a glibc stack with Android and I just...

Lots and lots of frustration and no freaking authoratative documentation, I HATE YOU, I HATE GOOGLE, I HATE ALL. I set repo to sync last night, it was slow as ****, so I thought I might as well go to sleep and check in the morning, error [2] or some ****, tried again, same. Speed, 0 - 1 KiB/s...

After breaking my build, I deleted my kernel directory tree and re-sync'ed. I then did "source build/envsetup.sh" and "breakfast d2spr" and then I when to "kernel/samsung/d2/" and did "make menuconfig" then I unselected in networking options "Only specific groups can create sockets" or some such...

hmm I dont use vmware if I don't have to. For me, the ethernet had something to do with Linux kernel and tcp windowing, not sure, but using wifi for syncing works. Start fresh, try CyanogenMod http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Build_for_i9300 if that recipe works, then PA's recipe is probably...

Are you using ethernet? I had issues with repo stalling to a stand-still, but not crashing when using ethernet, I switched to wifi and I was able to synce. Something about tcp windowing. Also, XML is notoriously finicky. Sometimes a cut and paste of the whole page has fixed bugs and errors for...

Still no go [email protected]:/etc/init.d# ./postgresql start [....] Starting PostgreSQL 9.1 database server: main[....] The PostgreSQL server failed to start. Please check the log output: 2014-01-06 16:48:59 UTC LOG: could not create IPv6 socket: Permission denied 2014-01-06 16:48:59 UTC LOG...

I've had a few similar events for a few different reasons. I would suggest booting into recovery but it seems you have tried that already. If the device is plugged into a wall or pc, unplugg it, that has seemed to cause and fix boot issues for me before. Other than that, I dunno, if you can't...

I have been having issues with the Paranoid Networking feature added to the Linux Kernel preventing some of my programs from creating sockets. Appearently the process must be of a certain group id, either one of the AID_INET or AID_BT groups in the 3000's range I believe. I was cgreping through...

I am fairly new to the game so this might have been solved before or maybe a project somewhere is already working on it, but I'll ask anyways... I want to build a version of Android that runs on glibc but also has the Android specific libs to run it's framework, system services, dalvik, etc...

I just put glibc in /lib, at boot /lib is empty, but then I mount the contents of /lib aftwards. Ideally it would mount from a custom init.rc script. I suppose if you put the libc in /data/lib you could sym link that to /lib during boot. I am pretty sure that /lib needs to be in the root dir and...

This feature should be available upon request, that sounds like a cheap excuse to keep us from reseting the counter and getting the warranty. Or least a "ha ha" to those who tried to mess with it and it brickes their phone, idk . Ima conspericy theorist kinda guy. We are in a locked down...

It's an early undercooked breakfast: localhost system # breakfast d2spr including vendor/cm/vendorsetup.sh build/core/envsetup.mk:81: *** Unable to determine HOST_ARCH from uname -sm: Linux armv7l!. Stop. Device d2spr not found. Attempting to...

So is this Knox a Sprint thing, or a Samsung thing? I can understand the reasoning for Knox(money) but, dang, I guess it's a dog eat dog world out there. This doesn't affect CyanogenMod does it? I'm scared...:( edit... I remember reading about a brick api or command, I never executed it...

This might have more to do with custom firmware count... Though I started messing with Android and Linux only 7 or so months ago. ---------- Post added at 03:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:31 PM ---------- I would recommend checking out "High on Android" video's at youtube, that...

I guess kind of a bump/update on my current progress: 1) Source code mounted via NFS as you can see above. > Check 2) Create swapfile in tmpfs on Linux device and export to phone > Check 3) swapon the swap file > Error Invalid argument (darn) maybe to help you see : Server side...

Uh Oh... I got NFS working over wifi, figure out it was the whole hostname resolution ( That doesn't work on Android, yet ) so while I was taking my morning dump, I ssh'ed into my server and changed the exports file so that it use an IP address instead of a hostname, then I used the -o nolock...

Wow, I always out of habit type https:// prefixing everything with it. So I kinda jus took it for granted and thought it was https:// I am kind of shocked that it is lacking... One app to prove its just wrong NOT to have https://, anywhere D-Sploit Use the cookie sniffer and bam, you can...

Because I like little devils. I rebooted to Linux, just now ;) Figure better not torture myself just yet. Update: [email protected]:~/Projects/Java-stuff/drd-hello-cmdln$ adb shell ANDROID\_DATA=/sdcard dalvikvm -cp /sdcard/HelloWorld.zip HelloWorld Hello World! hmmm, but I shelled in...

Absolutly. I am using FreeBSD now insead of Linux, that being said their is near zero support for Android development on Unix OS's as of yet, which really makes no ****ing sense, why try hard as hell to use BSD/Apache2 liscenced code only to build it with GNU and GPL style licenced tools? Makes...

I found this amongst a bunch of stuff on dex2jar but all that is the opposite of what I wanted. http://www.cs.duke.edu/~schfan/blog/blog/2013/09/19/executing-dex-file-in-android/ So I will do hello world as java to dex and see if it works on the cmd-line. If yes, then proceed to try and use...

A little background info: I got SL4A and Py4A and then ran the standalone script to run python from the command line over adb or ssh, but the Android api's wouldn't work. Cause, SL4A server needs to be running and python needs to be able to send info to the server via AP_PORT and AP_HOST with...

Ah, just a lil' project I decided to torture myself with. It's CyanogenMod with added Linux executables I picked from Kali's and Debian's armhf repos. It requires glibc to be placed in /lib of the Android file system hierarchy, which is normally not there. Also, a few tweaks to file and...

Run Kali with Cyanogenmod (no chroot)?

No Really, I think I got it figured out this time. If your running python 2.6 via Py4a then youll use the first script to access python from the command line or over adb, you'll need su to but it in /system/bin or /system/xbin and to use this command to write to the system partition "mount -wo...

Maybe with USB 3, forward port over adb, I heard something about ppp and this but that might be for vpn (little over my head). But I think the G S4 only has usb 2.0. Maybe Solid state disk with micro usb adapter, still USB 2.0 seems to be the bottle neck, If I could only wire in gigabit...

I was wondering if it is possible to build/compile the Android OS against embedded glibc instead of bionic? Has it been done? What would some forseeable problems be, as in, would much Android code need to be modified to utilize glibc properly , and would existing proprietary firmware bug out...

Has anyone tried compiling Android itself against embedded glibc? As in, get rid of bionic all together. I'd imagine a lot of changes to Android's calls to C based code may need to be tweaked to fit glibc, but at least you don't have to reinveent the Linux wheel, and C++ exceptions would be...

Yeah, I had a lot of that in mind, I need to set time aside to learn how to set up a samba server and find out if it functions like an nfs server. If not, then I need to try and fix the nfs stuff on android, I read some people having similar problems and some people saying it was a piece of...

Ok, so if your even reading this like "what in the world?" I wouldn't blame you, that just means you understood the question the way I meant it. I have a Linux system running side by side on Android (I'd imagine this might be possible in a chroot as well), anyways I am installing...

I have a sprint G S III sph-l710 I am looking through the kernel source for CM 10.1 right now, I am just wondering if this is the right place to start this journey and maybe piggy-back on some work thats already been done, of course I have to have the source or else there is no way I am putting...

I do have Kali/CyanogenMod running on my phone right now, I can launch and use Metasploit but postgresql doesn't yet work so no database, it works just no db to store info thats all, maybe connecting to a db on laptop over network might work but I haven't tried it. This is not a chroot...

Cleaned it up a bit, more of a guide, this would probably work on most Debian distros. If the Orange is too much, let me know but for now it is all the new stuff in case you were following along, most of the other stuff is just me talking to myself in public. peace, Edge-Case

Makes Sense. So if I am learning anything... I would need binaries ("blobs"), I am sure Sprint, Google, and Samsung proprietary apps, and the nessiccary make (Android.mk) files, maybe some kernel patches and/or kernel object files, and hopeful to all hell I don't have to do too much XML...

Thanks Well I just flashed ReVolt, works well I'll let ya know how it runs, if the battery lasts any longer than CM10.1 and if this doesn't freeze up when in landscape mode then I'll be happy. Still, not enough run time to determine if its running real nice through out the code. I just got...

hmm I thought it would be a lot easier than it has been to build a stock rom, but I guess not, I am not trying to build kit-kat though, I want to build for 4.1.2 as I think thats where their updates left off but maybe I am way outta the loop. What about the factory images? Are those flashable...

I have built and slightly tweeked CM 10.1 but to be honest, it does drain that battery quite a bit and sometimes it freezes in landscape mode. So I sync'ed up the source for the AOSP and then I realized that I needed binaries and I don't have the stock ROM to extract them from. Are these...
