[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
Intro:

So, I've had some problems accessing the market from a forbidden country (i.e Sudan, Lebanon). When I tried to use the built-in VPN client in a Cyanogenmod ROM it turned out that it doesn't work so after a well-spent time, I figured out how to use a VPN on my HD2. :)

What Can it be used for?

- Access the internet using your data connection without revealing your IP address.

- Unlock the market for forbidden countries. (my case)

- Basically, VPN on your Androided HD2.

Requirements:

An HTC HD2 with a Cyanogenmod Rom or a ROM based on it.

OpenVPN Settings application (Provided in the attachments)

An OpenVPN config files and certificates (Recommended will be provided below)

An SD card.

Instructions:

1- I recommend using Hostizzle, go to it then register for a free plan. (go for a paid one if you want)

2- After registering, download your keys (only keys and not .exe ) and extract them to a new folder on the root of your sd card with the following name "openvpn" .

3- Go to your phone and install the "OpenVPN Settings" application (attached) .

4- Run the Application and Allow all the SuperUser Requests. Then press menu and choose "Advanced" . Make sure that "Load tun kernel module" is ticked, then hit "TUN module settings" and make sure that "Load module using" is set to "insmod" and "Path to tun module" is set to "/system/lib/modules/tun.ko" .

5-(optional) if you faced troubles using the internet, long press on your configurations name and then "Preferences" then tick "Use VPN DNS Server" and set the "VPN DNS Server" to "8.8.8.8".

6- Return to the main screen of the app and tick "OpenVPN" and then tick your configuration.

Then it will go through a sequence, when you see "Connected to *.*.*.* as *.*.*.*" then you're connected, if you're seeing a blank after "as" then you have a problem and you have to check the procedures again.

Tips & Warnings:

*You can use any OpenVPN service as long as you can obtain the configurations file.

*I have only tested this on "HyperDroid", but it should work with any cyanogenmod ROM.

*

Do not install

"OpenVPN installer" as it will mess up your phone's VPN configurations.

*OpenVPN Settings can be obtained from the market, but in my case I couldn't do it .

*The files you should copy to the "openvpn" folder should at least contain the following : (*.ovpn, ca.crt, client.crt, client.key, ta.key)

*It is ok for the connection to keep restarting, it will connect you soon.

*Anything else you tell me :)

Frequently Asked Questions

-not yet ...

I wrote this tut because I wasn't able to access the Market from my phone because the country was forbidden :)

Hit thanks if it/I helped. :)
[Gen8 Android Development] AlaskaPardus:
This is just a short howto to bring Gapps on Cyanogenmod 7 for Archos Gen8 devices:

First you need two things:

-download a root file explorer like Astro or ES Filemanager or Rootexplorer(costs a few bucks but its still worth! you only can copy a apk of it if you purchased and installed rootexplorer in stock archos firmware. copy the apk in stock firmware from /system/app to sdcard, so you can install it in the bootet CM7)

-download gapps for CM7: http://cmw.22aaf3.com/gapps/gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip

Second you must extract your gapps.....signed.zip to sdcard.

Now make a reboot and boot CM7!!!

The following steps will not work in stock Archos firmware!!

Take your root file explorer and mark all apps in the extracted folder /sdcard/gapps-gb-20110613-signed/system/app and copy all apks to /system/app.

Now close file manager and reboot your device.

Once your device reboots it should take you to the start up wizard.

Open market and enjoy your CM7 on your device!!!

If this helps or if you can improve this how to you are welcome!!

Sorry for my bad english, i read it better than write it correctly ;)
[Gen8 Android Development] Lenn:
Hey, thanks for the cool how to:)

Can i include this into my Instructions thread?;) that would be great:):)
[Gen8 Android Development] AlaskaPardus:
Sure.....do whatever you want!

Werde das auch noch auf android-hilfe.de posten ;)
[Gen8 Android Development] Lenn:
Okey, thanks for your help:)
[Gen8 Android Development] Valorster:
Hey ,

I followed this but it doesnt want to copy to /system/app

what can it be?

just says "failed to copy"

thx
[Gen8 Android Development] AlaskaPardus:
Sorry dont know what the reason could be.
[Gen8 Android Development] Valorster:
Its. Needs to be rooted to copy the files?
[Gen8 Android Development] AlaskaPardus:
I think you have root if you use cyanogen mod 7 - or do you use stock firmware?
[Gen8 Android Development] Lenn:
Even if he use stock firmware, he have root;) (installing the boot menu gives root)

What file explorer do you use? Try a different one:)
[Gen8 Android Development] Valorster:
i used es file explorer and astro (payed version)

Astro gives me the notification that it failed to copy

Es doesnt do a thing

:D

ill try root explorer too then.

Edit : root explorer doesnt copy it either :s

ok i got it , booted in cyanogen , used root explorere there and could copy :)

in stock firmware archos i didnt get asked for super user permission....
[Gen8 Android Development] fzelle:
Because you don't have root in Stock.
[Gen8 Android Development] AlaskaPardus:
Just edited my first post to boot (after extracting all zips) to CM7.

Hope its clearer now.
[Gen8 Android Development] Lenn:
Hey,

I add your instructions to my big thread:)

Just want to say thanks again!;)
[Gen8 Android Development] AlaskaPardus:
Nothing to thank for! I just wrote down what other users knew before! I only made a collection.....
[Gen8 Android Development] leijae:

[Gen8 Android Development] julbra18:
Help!

Pls help! I've copied the apps to /system/app and rebootet, but the drawer won't show me market, even the google setup won't start! :confused: :( Help!

Thanks in advance! ;)
[Gen8 Android Development] dtr145r:
try to adb push them to your device
[Gen8 Android Development] dynamicj:
I find it funny your saying boot to CM7 all gapps does is give you market, and other google apps. It does not give you CyanogenMod.
[Gen8 Android Development] AlaskaPardus:
i find it funny you haven't read all lines......if you would have, you would have seen that i sayd "....copy the apk in stock firmware from /system/app to sdcard, so you can install it in the bootet CM7!"

that means i assume you have already installed CM7.....and the thread says it too:

"How to install GAPPS on CM7 for Gen8" and not "How to install CM7 and GAPPS on CM7 for Gen8!"

;)

i think you should wear your glasses ;)

This was just posted on the facebook page for "S-Off for Sensationa and Evo 3D NOW"!!!

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=659446&d=1311089223

Notice that it does say "shooter" in the top left and "HBOOT-1.30.0000"

Also, notice that this does not say ENG before S-Off... That means this is a retail device, correct?

+1... I think alot of the repeat posts are due to most of us coming from the 4g and being kinda board because we are all flashaholics that usually get our fix at a whim but jumped on the wagon for a newer and better model and miss what we could do on the old one.
[HTC EVO 3D] lyon21:
Thank you. I am new to the evo 3d community, coming from an atrix. It's nice to see that we have people here who aren't just as***les to everyone.

Like it has been said before... The other thread's title says that it's about the sensation. That may not get everyone's attention. The thread with the 3d in the title is probably a little more noticeable. I appreciate that MOST of the people that think I was wrong or double posting, just accepted it and accepted my apology. That is the way it should be. If you think it's wrong, state your point and move on. There are people here who appreciate the post. Most of us are adults and even those who are not "adults" should be mature enough to go about your business or state your opinion and move on, like some have done.

Once again, if you feel that this was a useless thread and/or a double post, I apologize. I didn't mean for it to be. If you are still pissed and can't accept my apology, don't troll here. Just move on.

Thank you all!
[HTC EVO 3D] :
You don't need to apologize for contributing the community.

Seems we have a group of a dozen people or so who are on a hair trigger for dupe threads and unfortunately, some of them don't even know what a dupe thread is! Not sure why there are so many "(m|g)od wannabe's" on here. Goes with the territory I guess.

So I just clicked the thanks button. Until your thread, I didn't know whether the Sensation s-off would be able to be used on the 3vo or not. So it's good to see pics of a 3vo (apparently) s-offed.

Welcome to the 3D forums.

As you'll come to notice, moderation is spastic and confusing....and annoying.

a few members sit on high horses and spit down upon us like peons.

some are bored as hell and USED TO have an epic troll thread to amuse ourselves in *sniffle*

and over there is El_Chamuto (or whatever.) he'll probably be posting a variant of your thread tomorrow. don't make eye contact.

so, WELCOME!.

tip for your thread, too many question and exclamation marks. Or, not enough, as of right now it needs more or less. :D

cant remember where it was posted but im almost positive its the same picture and everyone was saying it was fake.

im not gonna believe it until there is more proof.

just cause i said it was photoshopped witch it does look shopped doesnt make me a troll people on these forums are stupid dont even know what a troll is.
[HTC EVO 3D] nate420:
Lmfao

So your calling them liars?

If you can't provide a link to where it proves its fake then why stand behind your argument?

And by "them". I mean members of alpharevx

They pretty much confirmed it would work on EVO 3d

3D > iClone
[HTC EVO 3D] AyoJake:
if they were able to upload a video of the sensation then they could upload a video of the evo 3d...
[HTC EVO 3D] nate420:
Oh man your right! Cuz obviously alphatevx has a EVO 3d to work on! And they didn't post a video of sOff on the 3d so its gotta be fake... And Myn must be lying and so is alpharev man you brought the light to me!

3D > iClone
[HTC EVO 3D] AyoJake:
you assume i call them liars... quote one of my posts where it says they lied about the evo 3d i said i would wait to believe it.
[HTC EVO 3D] nate420:
You said it was a fake... That Myn and alpharev both confirmed to be legit... So why quote? It's already been quoted... Just keep the assumptions coming!

And again your only argument is its not video taped? You know you can PhotoShop video right?

Oh Damn! The sensation hboot video must be fake then too

3D > iClone
[HTC EVO 3D] AyoJake:
where did I say it was fake i said other people said it was fake IF it was the same picture.

stop saying i said **** i didnt say.
[HTC EVO 3D] mcmikecruz1:
Stfu
[HTC EVO 3D] k2buckley:
The only proof I needed was when Myn said "it's real", and also when these two members of the Unrevoked Team (because Unrevoked and AlphaRev work together, and are soon to be merging) posted in the other thread. Their word makes it solid. Stop doubting stuff, it's real.
[HTC EVO 3D] nate420:
Your telling people to stop posting it so your saying its fake..... And your "backing up". The idea its a fake... Just shut up and take it like a man... You are wrong ... It's ok I've been wrong before I'm not questioning your manhood just proving the point that you have no idea what the **** you are talking about

3D > iClone
[HTC EVO 3D] bso44:
You said it was "proven" to be fake. That's pretty definitive.
[HTC EVO 3D] HTCRALEIGHFAN:
iam near the north campus of wake tech off 540
[HTC EVO 3D] mcmikecruz1:
THIS PROOF IS SOLID !

SOLID AS A ROCK !

I said it , but I didn't say it .

I live here <^>
[HTC EVO 3D] AyoJake:
im pretty sure key words right there means i wasnt 100%...

again i said im pretty] sure it was photoshopped that would mean im not 100% positive its the same picture...all you had to do was prove by quoting myn or the unrevoked devs and i would have said ok but no no no people jump to the conclusion im a troll shut the **** up these forums are probably the worst on xda when it comes to users and helping. now i see why people/devs are switching to other sites xda is becoming a piece of ****.
[HTC EVO 3D] mcmikecruz1:
**** just got real !

Real dumb , thanks to me :(
[HTC EVO 3D] nate420:
Then why even post a couple times and reiterate your statement... If you personally don't believe it then fine but to "slander"A picture because other poeple said it was fake is just ignorant...

If you asked for proof or for a "vouch" that it was real. Then ask... Instead of saying its fake and telling people to stop posting it..

And yes xda is a Hell hole but you have the choice to fallow your favorite developers to "their sites". Or just don't post....

I had an issue with the same thing and this seemed to fix it:

The most accurate recognition will be achieved when all the training images are taken directly from front (i.e. no profile images etc.). Also, you should take training images in different illuminations (in those environments where you usually use your mobile). Sufficient amount of images per person is about 5 to 10.

give it a shot and see if it changes!

I was thinking the same thing! That would be a kick ass feature.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] GeneralSky2004:
I am running the latest MIUI and this works fine. Awesome application. My only complaint is that on MIUI you can drag applications to the top of the screen for an uninstall. If you do that with the app, it will remove it and then you can access whatever you want on the phone. Obviously nobody is going to really know that they can do that unless they are familiar with MIUI, but still something to nag about. :D

Awesome application.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] boomer30:
Same here so what I did was place it in a folder and selected the HIDE APPLICATION option that way it cannot be found
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] GeneralSky2004:
That's what I ended up doing as well. Worked really well since you can't delete the folder with something in it, but you can't find what's in it.

Also, I found that if you hit the home key while the app is loading, it cancels the protection out.

Say you have it protecting messages. You click on messages and while the screen is blank for a second or two (The camera security is loading), hit the home key. Now open messages again and it doesn't lock you out.

Just me or others too?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] boomer30:
Yep i tried that and it actually turned off the app to where i was freely able to go in and out of it without security
