[HOWTO] OpenVPN Settings/Install - Run on Desire (LeeDrOiD)

Because of some request, i post here a Mini-HowTo, how i got OpenVPN to work.
There are a lot of infos here at xda-devs and around the net and i like to put them almost here together.
My Setup:
- HTC Desire
- LeeDrOiD 2.2d
In this example i use a Config called "Denver",
which is also running on my PC.
This is not about get OpenVPN running in gerneral.
It is how i got it running on the Desire with a preconfigured VPN-Config-File (*.ovpn),
and Certificates.
In this configuration, all traffic will routed through the VPN if it is activated!
Preparation:
A. Create a password.txt if you want Auto-Login:
Type in the first line your username.
In the second the password.
Save this as "password.txt"
B. Create the script "iproute-wrapper.sh":
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
# ip route wrapper, add 'table vpn' to add/del commands
IPROUTE=/system/bin/ip
case "[email protected]" in
*'route add'*|*'route del'*)
exec "$IPROUTE" "[email protected]" table local
;;
*)
exec "$IPROUTE" "[email protected]"
;;
esac
# EOF
Copy this to:
/data/local/bin/iproute-wrapper.sh
You must create /bin and copy by for example with RootExplorer or with adb.
HowTo for use with adb you'll find here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7610101&postcount=31
Thanks to all, who contributed this!
IMPORTANT: Do NOT put the iproute-wrapper.sh on the sdcard - it won't work!
C. To get A. and B. to work, you must also edit the *.ovpn and add two lines:
auth-user-pass password.txt
iproute /data/local/bin/iproute-wrapper.sh
{

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
D. Create a folder on sdcard: sdcard\openvpn
Copy in here your neccessary Certs and Config (*.ovpn).
In my case/example this:
Copy in here also the password.txt!
Now - here it goes:
1. Install "OpenVPN Installer" from market
2. Open - then click "install" with target /system/xbin
3. Install "OpenVPN Settings" vom market
Open and use menu-button to go to "Advanced":
- activate "Load tun kernek module"
- "Path to configurations": /sdcard/openvpn
- "Path to openvpn binary": /system/xbin/openvpn
4. Now do a restart of the desire!
5. Go to OpenVPN Settings, activate it and choose your VPN to start
I had archived some links, where i got some of the nessesary informations:
OpenVPN Installer
http://www.androidpit.com/en/androi...t.android.openvpn.installer/OpenVPN-Installer
OpenVPN Settings
http://www.androidpit.com/en/androi...chaeuffelhut.android.openvpn/OpenVPN-Settings

Thanks to all that people there and in the WorldWideWeb, who give hints to get this to work for me
and specially to the developer of "OpenVPN Settings/Install" (Friedrich Schäuffelhut/Christophe Vandeplas)!
Hope this will help you guys!

Appreciate it, very simple and good explanation. Thanks, worked for me and i am connecting flewlessly now.

how to make it work in Leedroid 2.3d? Tried the steps and does not work

OpenVPN
Nice and celan tuto!
Do you have links to info on how to setup VPN on my network though?
I guess I could google it but there might be an easy tuto like this one out there that I could miss...

I can't access the /system/xbin folder only, and hence am not able to install it in any way. I am trying to install on Emulator.
Why I can't access the /system of the emulator ? Is that we can access it of real device and not of emulator ! Then how a developer can test its application that uses openvpn.
Really stuck up at this installation part. Just can't access /system even after changing the permission I get messages like "Read only", "Access denied", etc.
Can anyone help me with this issue ?
Thanks

Is there a way to install OpenVPN on Leedroid 3.0.7 without S-Off ?
At the moment, I can't install openvpn with OpenVPN Installer because there is no way to write in the /system/ protected partition...

[KERNEL] TnT Kernel with CIFS and NTFS support

What does this new boot.img/kernel do?
It allows you to mount windows shares on your tablet. That allows you to play music, videos, etc.
WARNING: For right now this is breaking angry birds, and some other apps.
Kernel: Stock 2.6.32.9 with CIFS/NTFS (compiled by me)
Ramdisk: TnT 3389
You can setup your windows share information in Cifsmanager from market. I haven't been able to get it working, but hopefully someone else can. Some pictures available here: http://www.ez-pad.net/android-1858-1-1.html . You will have to leave the last line blank, do not copy what the link shows. The rest of the lines do give you a guide.
Download:

VEGAn B4 CIFS, NTFS http://www.multiupload.com/5YX1XBI4CN
Install:
Place download on /sdcard
Boot into clockwork
Run it as an update.zip
If you see gtabdevs logo, you know it worked

can i use on vegantab build? if yes. which file i should download? with vpn or no vpn?

Hi, is it compatible with Folio 100? (same hardware I guess)
Thanks!

First off, thanks for making this happen. Mounting through cifsmanager does work however something got borked with apps that are on the sdcard (i.e. angry birds)
Cannot restore via titanium backup; install fails through market.
I assume reapplying vegan.b4 update will replace the boot.img to fix.
Was there something I should've done in clockwork before applying this?
P.S. applied the non VPN version

I'm pretty sure something needs to be changed to work with Vegan. I only tested it with TnT so far.

I'm not sure that it works on vegan, i'll build one later for it. I put beside the VPN one that wifi doesn't work, so unless you don't need wifi... That is there for someone more advanced to look into finding updated wifi drivers that work with VPN.

It will not work with the Folio, the chipset is the same, but touchscreen, etc is not.

any possibility you could compile a cifs.ko module separately for the advent vega kernel please?
i pulled ar6000.ko from the device and found the vermagic string with a hex editor incase it helps:
vermagic=2.6.32.9_P10_v1.06.5_20101213_DIX_UK-gb9b276c-dirty SMP preempt mod_unload modversions ARMv7

Btw, in vegan under settings/sdcard shows as unmount in progress eventhough it also displays total use/remaining space. Don't know if this is typical.
Should also point out you mean NFS support, not NTFS.
Again, thank you so much for this.

Thank you, sir! The Gtab just got another bump in the usability department. I can only imagine what lies ahead of us.

Was getting ready to update to this kernel...then I read the warning about Angry Birds. LOL
What exactly is breaking in these apps when using CIFS?

I think the kernel patch we received didn't include some of the latest changes. Therefore there are some vold incompatibilities i think, causing issues with apps that need /sdcard.

Major step taken here! Can't wait until it's stable.
-=Sent from my VS GTablet (VEGAn b4) using Tapatalk=-

Yes Angry Birds is now broken and will not install again either. I get an error. I think it said code 18. This is foreign to me.

For whatever is worth, mount your SDCard on your computer, and while mounted, install Angry Birds RAWRAWRAR!

cifsmanager can not be install on my vegan build after i update this.
and all angry birds were gone.

Like I said, for angry birds: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10133101&postcount=17
And..about the CIFSManager is kinda "lol"......I installed it correctly, I see it in my app drawer, but if I click on it, it will say its not installed. THOUGH, if I go to market, search for CIFSManager, will tell me its installled, click on the app and then go to the "open" button, it will open! LOL

Launch CIFSManager from something other than the stock TnT launcher. It works from LP.

[APP] Compiled lynx binary for android - Shell or ADB

I've searched the web, and found no lynx binaries for android, so I set out to compile it myself.
For the uninitiated, lynx is a text-based browser. No images, no javascript, no flash. Just pure content.
You can use it by connecting to your phone through adb, telnet, ssh or a shell on the phone itself.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This is lynx version 2.8.8 with ncurses 5.9
I pretty much just followed the instructions at http://www.embedu.org/Column/Column294.htm, and added a flag to make the linking static. No code changes were required.
Installation instructions
Root is not required.
You need to unzip the file on the /sdcard folder. The following files must exist:
/sdcard/lynx/lynx.cfg
/sdcard/lynx/lynx.lss
/sdcard/lynx/cache/
Then you need to move the binary to /data/local (or /system/xbin if you want something more permanent. Then you'd need root)
and run this command:
chmod 755 /data/local/lynx
Then run :
/data/local/lynx
and enjoy!
Additional information
If you want to put these files somewhere else, you must redefine the following variables, respectively:
LYNX_CFG (eg: export LYNX_CFG=/system/etc/lynx.cfg)
LYNX_LSS (eg: export LYNX_LSS =/system/etc/lynx.lss)
TMPDIR (eg: export TMPDIR =/cache)
If you receive an error message about the terminal, you need to configure a terminal.
Here are some instruction (for nano, but it works the same)
Sources are at the following addresses:
http://lynx.browser.org/
http://www.gnu.org/s/ncurses/

reserved
soon get the flash-able package

Thanks! I installed this on my ZTE Blade with 2.3.4 Gingerbread, but after setting everything in Terminal Emulator, I get these errors:
Alert!: Unable to connect to remote host.
Looking up lynx.isc.org
Unable to locate remote host lynx.isc.org.
lynx: Can't access startfile http://lynx.isc.org
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
As if there were no internet connection...

Awesome
Will be testing on my thunderbolt later today. I'll let you guys know how it goes.
However, would you mind reposting this on RW, or would you mind if I were to repost it and link back?
[EDIT] In having just configured everything, I also get the error from the post above. It seems as though lynx thinks it doesn't have internet access. This is the case on 3g and wireless networks. Let me know if you want me to test anything for you.[/EDIT]
All the best,
-HG

Looks great.
May I add that to my script ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1191984

Well, I was able to install it from a chrooted ubuntu 10.10 distro on my device. It's already compiled for ARM on ports.ubuntu.com, so maybe it's not so exclusive.

Nice. Can you point me to the correct file? I got as far as http://ports.ubuntu.com/pool/universe/l/lynx-cur/, but I don't know which one contains the binary.

While this is quite cool, why lynx? Why not elinks? It has much better layout capabilities. It has tabs! It even has javascript.

[GUIDE] LinuxonAndroid on the Galaxy S III i9300 -UPDATED

First and formost: I am not the original creator of this work and I am only offering my method of getting this to work with your Galaxy S III. I had some issues which I worked out myself and with a little help from the official support from LinuxonAndroid.
All credits go to the original creators of this work, Android on Linux:
Official website
XDA page
Complete Android on Linux app via Google Play
There are two main methods of getting the required files. One is via the App, the other is from the website. There is a third option of building your own image, detailed in the app, but I had problems with rootstock and qemu so I can't verify it works. Also, rootstock has been depreciated and isn't in the official repositories any more.
Currently, I find the LXDE version to be quite smooth with a Swapfile on. There is also no Audio output.
You WILL need:
Install the app listed above from Google Play.
Also, download Android Terminal Emulator if you don't already have that installed and android-vnc-viewer.
You will also need something like Root Explorer or ES File Explorer. ES is great and free. I recommend that.
The Guide:
Follow the instructions in the app. Download your chosen image and extract it somewhere on your phone's internal SD card. A Folder called Ubuntu might be best You can also use the above website links and get them yourself form SourceForge or BitTorrent.
Now open up your file explorer and navigate to /data/data/com.zpwebsites.linuxonandroid/files/ Inside you should see a file called "bootscript.sh". You can either delete it and replace it with the modified file I provided or you can make the following changes:
Find:
Code:
###########################################
# Checks if you have a external sdcard #
# and mounts it if you do #
###########################################
if [ -d /sdcard/external_sd ]; then
$bbox mount -o bind /sdcard/external_sd $mnt/external_sd
fi
Add Under:
Code:
if [ -d /mnt/extSdCard ]; then
$bbox mount -o bind /mnt/extSdCard $mnt/external_sd
fi
Save or overwrite that file and move onto the next step. This may be incorporated into the next bootscript update, it may not. Make sure you check for this!
Ok, we should now be ready to first boot. Open the Complete Linux On Android app and navigate to "Launch". Point the laucnh page towards the palce you stored the iamge, also hit "Configure Linux" and tick the Swap File option. VERY important to do that. You can click the button that says "Boot" and the Android Terminal Emulator should open up and proceed to boot!
You may get an error here but it should continue normally and won't be a problem. You will be asked for your resolution and Unix password. The Password will be your LINUX password to authorise root access as normal. The resolution you should set is 1280x720 to match the resolution of our Galaxy S III displays.
You should get a read out like this when all is done and successful:
{
"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"
}
Now we can move into the last step, getting to the desktop!
Open up the AndroidVNC app from the app drawer (if you didn't install that already do so now, the links are above).
Enter whatever you like for the Nickname. Ubuntu would be a good one, or you can just leave it blank.
Enter "localhost" without the quotes as the Address.
Enter "ubuntu" without the quotes as the Password.
Leave the Port as 5900
Hit connect!
You should now see something like this:
​
Touch Input seems to be the best input method for AndroidVNC.
Lots of information and support can be found via the app and the official Android On Linux website!
​
Things you could do:
Use a USB dock, Mouse and Keyboard + HDMI to enable this into a full desktop!
Download a VNC program for your PC and connect over Wi-Fi to remotely control your install
Donate
You should buy the donate version of the app on Google Play store to unlock beta features and support the devs! It comes in a few flavours, £1, £2 etc. All donations receive the features! Support these guys!
Phone Fund
Help these guys get more devices to port this over to, like our GS3, then we can expect more features!

Thanks:
Thanks to Zack and Tuxling for getting this off the ground and creating the images and app!
Thanks to Francis Is Bacon, Zack and Brouche on the Linux on Android IRC for their help getting this running

Updated!

Yeah, now i can build cm10 kangs at cinema with my sgs3
Thanks, maybe i will test it later

how could I miss this? :crying:
going to test this, thanks!

I've been looking for whole forum to see it it's possible, and it's not possible yet, you must choose if you use de OTG or MHL. We're still waiting for some kernel developers solve this issue.

Hi mate,
You can remove what they have there or add it as well. I'll clean up the OP now to make this clearer.
Add this:
Code:
if [ -d /mnt/extSdCard ]; then
$bbox mount -o bind /mnt/extSdCard $mnt/external_sd
fi
UNDER:
Code:
###########################################
# Checks if you have a external sdcard #
# and mounts it if you do #
###########################################
if [ -d /sdcard/external_sd ]; then
$bbox mount -o bind /sdcard/external_sd $mnt/external_sd
fi
PUT HERE
REST OF STATEMENTS ARE HERE
You can also just get rid of all the other statements if you want since none of them are specific to the GS3.

I will try later. Thanks for the guide.

Do you have Access to folder: /data/media/0/multirom/roms ? On this location can you find folder internal or cyanogenmod?
Your device is flo "wifi" or deb "LTE"?
If you have this path and folders you can install Debian manualy.
You must have busybox installed!
I wait for reply, then i post next steps to extract Debian archive

It stays stuck at Google Logo(after I've chosen Debian in Multirom) for me. I waited about 30 Minutes.

I Now I have a working GUI with root privileges, thank you Szybol! Even a wireless keyboard and mouse works, with the USB plug on the other end of an OTG cable. The next is to get the wifi and mobile network working...

The point all this is to have dock station with some usb's.
Wireless keyboard, mouse.
And hdmi to monitor, tv.
Of course OS must support second screen.

bluetooth devices
Has anyone test bluetooth keyboard and mouse yet ?
Considering before install

Does it have the same bugs, that the native Arch port had, like issues with rotating the screen or breaking the whole system while updating it? Does the framebuffer output work?

Tried pairing my bluetooth keyboard, sadly it fails everytime for me
Is there anyway to set screen rotation to horizontal? Tried that, but it made Debian crash

The driver that is being used for hardware acceleration (freedreno) does not support rotation on our GPU (Adreno 3xx). Unfortunately, when tried, the driver crashes and takes the entire X-Server with it. If you look in the arch thread, you can find that I had even attempted building freedreno from source with the hope that upstream has this issue fixed, but sadly they do not. That said, the framebuffer works, it's just that the refresher built into the MSM driver is broken. So a separate software refresher needs to be used in order to see anything via the FB. If you don't care much about hardware acceleration, you can easily install an alternative framebuffer driver such as fbturbo or the like, however you'll need to do some hacky work to get X to initialize properly with them. In my custom arch image, I had to make a systemd unit that first started X using a freedreno configuration file, then killed X and started it properly using fbturbo in order to get it to work properly.

It uses the wifi configurations of your android tablet. So if you have your wifi configured on the android it should connect automatically on Debian. (even if it doesn't indicate so)
