OpenVPN - any experiences? - Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all!
I am interested in the Nexus Player, but for me it is very important to be able to run OpenVPN with config files of my choice. Has anybody done this? I found one thread here on xda, but it used a customized apk from PIA if I understood correctly.
If this is not possible, some MXIII box running a non-TV Android might be better suited, I guess?
Cheers,
Ben

Developing Windows Mobile Programs in MingW?

Hey all,
I have had a big look on the internet but I seem not to find this.
I am wondering about coding C/C++ in MingW for WindowsCE.
Also, I normally code Console Based Programs. Can I run them in WindowsCE as well? (When Cross-Compiled I mean then).
Also, I am wondering What Librarys / Headers can I use?
Already lots of thanks.
But I cant seem to find what I am needing.. =(
Thanks already,
Kind Regards,
Robin

OS 5.2.19971 Build 19971.1.2.6 VPN Gimped?

Hello all,
Has anyone else noticed that the 19971.1.2.6 WM6.1 Pro build has VPN gimped from a prior WM5 client? I noticed that I no longer had access to do IPSEC and started to do some digging and found that the file sizes for VPN are more like the WM5 roms I have. (haven't yet found an exact md5)
Is it possible this network specific build was built to disable features of the Windows 6.1 VPN client?
Is it possible to just overwrite those windows VPN files to enable this functionality again, or is there another method to enable the new VPN client on this build? The current VPN client only allows PPTP
Thanks,

i just noticed that when i dumped it
im prett sure you can just overwrite them, but i haven't tried yet...
I also found that to be QUITE odd...
good luck

Ok good, it's not just me going crazy. I know that build was made for AT&T so they probably requested the gimping to save on bandwidth. However why they left PPTP in is a bit crazy.
I'm going to try overwriting them and see how it goes, do you have any build you'd recommend me using to overwrite them with?
Thanks,

i like 19202 build (at least that's what I think it is), it comes from the 3.29 kaiser rom that is obtainable from here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_ROMs
let me know how it goes

That's actually the one I had, chose it since I was able to download the MS 6.1 emulator with that build. So I figured if MS uses it for their development emulator it's safe for me.
I ran into a problem though, I'm unable to overwrite the file or change it in anyway. I assume this means I'll have to rebuild the ROM? (sorry a bit new at the whole rom/cooking)
Ok, all of the files named like: ipsecvpn are all for the windows mobile management server to send policy to the phone to require it to communicate over a VPN connection. So replacing those did nothing to enable the connection manager's options for IPSEC. Trying now to figure out which files need to be overwrote to get the connection manager enabled with IPSEC. I am a bit worried that maybe this is just a reg key :-/
Does anyone know what file represents the connection manager in WM 6.1?

Android USB communication

Hello everyone,
i was wondering if anyone could give me any tips about how to communicate with android device through usb from c++ or java(i guess that won't work without JNI though). I was trying to google up some documentation on this matter but found nothing. I wanted to program something like 'nokia ovi' suit as my b.c. 'thesis'.
Thanks for reading this, Tomas Herman
Hi,
Did you found any info on this ?
Certainly should be possible since Sync applications are working ...
Daniel
Yes, this is possible but AFAIK only as a hack. You can install the USB driver for the SDK and use adb's port forwarding. See /code.google.com/p/android-notifier/ as an example. Obviously, not an elegant solution and definitely not for the general Android user.

AIDE (Android IDE) on transformer tab

AIDE is an Android based IDE for development of Android applications. I checked it out this weekend and it is a pretty amazing tool. I tried out their Hello World app which seemed to compile just fine, and then got to work importing some of my projects from eclipse.
Some of my projects worked just fine, but I ran into some errors on my other projects that make use of the Google Maps API.
I was wondering if anyone else has been able to successfully compile/run an android app using AIDE that includes the android Google Map classes. I was able to manually add the maps.jar library to my application, but that resulted in the following error: "Class ref in pre-verified class resolved to unexpected implementation".
This is actually a common error in eclipse and is generally encountered when there is more than one reference to the maps.jar library, but I can't figure out how to get rid of it in AIDE.
Let me know if anyone has any ideas. Would also like to see what everyone's opinion is of AIDE. I think it will be a great tool for developers (assuming I can get it working for all my projects).
Wow, looks like the developer of this is pretty active, already received a response to my inquiry about the libraries.
For anyone who is interested:
Thanks for the feedback. References to external libraries are not supported right now and those are needed in order to correctly compile projects using the Google Maps API. Supporting external libraries is high on our TODO list though.

Looking forward to seeing some other first impressions.
I will be fantastic because I was looking for the same problem. Now only solution of this problem is to get a heavy laptop with me. I will waiting for na new version of AIDE with google libs support.

It already works! Copy the .jar files from you android-sdk/add-ons/addon-google_apis-google_inc_-15/libs into your project/libs, and add the following lines to your .classpath:
Code:
<classpathentry kind="lib" path="libs/effects.jar"/>
<classpathentry kind="lib" path="libs/maps.jar"/>
<classpathentry kind="lib" path="libs/usb.jar"/>
I still got a problem with loading of maps, but you won't see any errors, even compiling and running the .apk works.

How to use a certain Linux App in OnePlus 8 Pro Oxygen OS (rooted w magisk | edexpose

I've looked around on stack overflow and other places trying to find answers. I have software I want to install on my phone so I can more easily chat, send files, links, etc. on LANs that I work within throughout my day. This program works well for me: https://www.beebeep.net/download
I can use this on my windows and linux boxes. I want to integrate my phones into this communications array.
I'm looking at the snapcraft or any of the other linux variants. I can't figure out how to run a linux app on droid.
I can ssh through the terminal and so on. I can perform other functions that one normally does in BASH though now that I think of it, I haven't tried crontab. Anyway, how could I get this BeeBeep script to work on my android? Can anyone help solve this problem?
I have not seen anything on this, but very interested in this Linux development...
I did see an XDA section for only Ubuntu Touch...
I don't know about direct onto android but apparently it can be done to Chromebooks and I know that android apps can be converted to work on Chromebooks too so perhaps it can be reversed?
https://www.androidcentral.com/how-install-linux-apps-your-chromebook
So basically if an app could be converted to work on a Chromebook could it then be further converted to work on Android?
Seems like a long shot but you never know.
I've seen Windows apps / games work on Android, I've had Wolfenstein, quake arena and doom 3 ports on my phone so I would assume that Linux being a much closer cousin to Android would be an easier chore.
What you need is a framework to do the work for you, not to emulate but to directly port..
Can't find much online but I think if you dig enough you may find something
Certainly interesting though, best of luck pal.
If I find something, I'll post in development. This is a backburner project, but clearly it's one I need to take on myself. Thanx for your responses.
