[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheManii:
Apparently Bstacks only exposes a single cpu core to the underlying android.

Obviously it's still a beta, but it still has a huge ways to go before being able to run circles around native devices.

To-do list:

Expose all cores to android

Actual hardware gpu acceleration

USB passthough?

Native rotation support?

ICS

Front end to control host file sharing

Ability to remove annoying sidebar

Ability to not choke on emulating arm-only binaries

Excluding arm-only binaries, bstacks virtualizes the cpu and does very little emulating.

(this is an assumption: there's no reason to emulate x86, that would defeat the purpose of bstacks)

The 1st 3 things are definitely possible, vmware can fully expose all cpu cores and virtualize the gpu too.

It also allows usb passthough, but that requires additional drivers for windows.

It was surprising that they didnt bother updating off android 2.3.4 from alpha -> beta.

Seeing as they also made it so it has a specialized launcher and you can actually see the desktop,

it's almost embarrassing to not have ICS since GB is so unsuited for tablets in comparison to 3.x+

There's already a fair amount of devices with ICS, and bstacks doesnt have platform specific drivers(?),

it's drivers are merely glue to pass host resources to android
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MedicalFlyer:
A proper look at http://code.google.com/p/android-market-installer/ reveals a few things.

Their install market link downloads and runs AMI-debug-1.1.apk which was uploaded on the 16th of this month

I'm sure someone with a bit more interest can dissect this and tell us its secrets :-)

Would be nice to get the new Play store up and running with full access.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheManii:
All it does is take the 3 apks and runs them though pm, as using the shell requires root, so does AMI.

Thing is that bstacks IS rooted, it's just not what we normally consider rooted. It gives you access to most functions except remount.

But remount wouldnt do anything, the filesystem is functionally incapable of saving any changes. You need to repack /system to be able to save changes.

I got the market (v1.82) installed that way through AMI-debug, and as of right now I Can NOT install Google Play Store_3.5.15.apk taken from a live tablet. After clicking on install it shows at the top: "Application Not Installed".

I've tried the 4 or 5 market apk's I have and tried a fresh backup from my phone but none will install. I've tried repacking the AMI apk but get errors about the certificates.

This is mail I sent to Link2sd developer

Help me, please!

I have an error call mount warning at boot. Link2sd mount 2nd partition sd card before the scanning media is finished. Once I reboot device I meet mount warning nortification. And I have to use Quick reboot function of Link2sd in oder to mount 2nd partition sd card successfully.

Thank you very much!

Sorry for my bad english

And they reply (thanks them)

Hi,

New Samsung Gingerbread roms do not have install-recovery.sh and init.d scripts to mount 2nd partition at boot.

Therefore Link2SD mounts the 2nd partition after system finishes mounting and you need to perform "Quick reboot" after each "real boot".

But there are some ways of adding this missing scripts to the ROM, search for the internet.

Regards,

Bulent

But I had tried to find in the internet but nothing that i've found

Who can help me??? Thanks a lots

Hi y'all,

Since 4 weeks I'm working on a new project; White 'nd red Desire. I got a brown HTC desire (GSM) from a friend as a gift, after he threw it on the ground and destroyed the LCD.

My first plan was to disassemble the Desire and order a new LCD. However, the external case was scratched and had many bumps and pits. I thought I should fix it and that's how this project started.

Below are some pictures and what's left to do.

Order LCD

Red accents on both sides.

Hi All,

This is the solution to the thread CM7 with working VPN

With lots of source code sifting and debug monitoring and finding most of the problem within a specific file namely "system/bin/mtpd".

I have compiled a CWR zip file for people to flash with this file inside.

This will replace the broken file and replace it with my file. After flashing the VPN PPTP will connect and work but does have some disconnecting problems sometimes. Still trying to find out why. But at least now it will connect and work until it disconnects.

I wonder if I could get some help from more devs to sort out the stability of the connection sorted out.

Some files that need to be check

mtpd - Needed to be exchanged for Typhoon and Hyperdroid

ip-up-vpn - Needed for Hyperdroid

pppd

racoon

VpnServices.apk

Would really appriciate some logcats so that we can pinpoint where the connection is being lost.

Confirmed working: Typhoon roms. v1.0 & v 1.4

Hyperdroid from v1.4

Not working: You tell me

Other Issues: You must at least set up one VPN connection with the default android settings menu for it to export the libraries, if you are using 1VPN.

Regards,

Arne.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] arne182:
I have check this with, TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 Nightly v3.0.4 to v3.6.9, all of them will now work with VPN PPTP.

It should work perfectly with Hyperdroid's CM7 aswell, but at the moment it doesn't. Still having to check the dependancy of the pppd file.

I don't mind if this gets included into the ROMS. But wait until I have sorted out all the bugs and it is working on all the roms.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] arne182:
v1.4

After some hard work the v1.4 is out and this will work on Hyperdroid and Typhoon CM7 roms. Still the VPN disconnects randomly but at least you can get it to connect.

I use 1VPN as it allows me to set an auto re connect but this is not a good solution.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mamv:

[HD2 Android NAND Development] arne182:
To repair the disconnected I need to get a few log cats together. I susspect it is a program specific command that is causing the VPN to disconnect. Pinpointing the program and command can help me repair this.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] Yank555:
Hi,

I'm currently on an AOSP ROM (tytung's NexusHD2 v3.2a). I know the thread-title says CM7, but I hope maybe I could get some help anyhow :o

VPN is extremely important to me, I need it for support issues at work, and since support situations rarely come with a predetermed planning, access to VPN over mobile data is an absolute must for me...

Sadly for me VPN works just fine over WiFi but doesn't over mobile data, I'd rather the opposite :rolleyes: Mostly when a WiFi is around me, a PC I could use is not far, so that wouldn't be that much of a problem. When a support issue happens at work during non business hours I'm likely neither around a WiFi nor a PC, so that's where VPN over mobile data would really come in handy :(

I tested loads of ROMs, AOSP and CM7 (including Hyperdroid, Dorimanx's 2.9.9, Amerciandoid...), but all have the same behaviour for me.

So to me this seems to be a general issue.

Here are the symptoms I'm experiencing :

VPN will connect fine, a ping will go through, but after a certain volume of data goes through the tunnel (really not much, less than an initial VNC frame, so after just a second or so), it will brake, no data going through but stay connected as far as the notification of VPN shows.

And it's a question of data volume (traffic) not time, I left it pinging for over an hour, and it was still pinging, but ICMP packets are really tiny. After that I tried accessing a Windows share on the other end of the tunnel through filemanager, it showed the 1st level of folders, I could drill to one folder deeper and than it broke off again :(

Is this something you've experienced as well ... ?

I tried Dorimanx's v2.7 kernel on NexusHD2 ROM installing VPN patch (I suppose it is the 1.4 patch in the first post that is installed since Dorimanx gives credits to Arne182), didn't help either.

I wasn't really expecting this to help, since his ROM 2.9.9 also has the fix, and it behaved just the same...

I'd be thankfull for any clue pointing me in the right direction !

JP.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tilleke:
This thread has not been updated for a while so I am unsure if the problem has been resolved for good or not.

Anyway, although I don't know if the stability is related, but there used to be an Android-bug which caused disconnections. You could avoid it by disabling password-encryption.

see this post of mine:

Tested with l2tp and I can report that l2tp is way more stable than pptp! Been connected for hours, with periodically Internet use.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] se1988:
Ciuld the problem be with the service provider? Maybe they are cutting you off or something?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] arne182:
Thanks for testing, I still have not found the time to get into the code, but at least I know that the l2tp is more stable.

With 1vpn you can set up a ping rate so that the connection does not time out, but timing out connections doesn't even come close to why it is disconnecting.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Yank555:
Nope, if I turn my HD2 into a WiFi hotspot, I tether my Asus TF101 to it, the Asus can connect through my HD2 mobile data connection and use pptp to the same destination just fine :(

unstable performance

Thank you so much for the time and the effort you put into this my man! You have no idea for how long have I looked for a fix for this!

The good news is that it worked, the bad is that on my HD2 its is very unstable! It will burst out opening a page or two through the VPN before going dead on me ( We are talking a few seconds worth working of connection max here!!) The only thing left to do would be to disconnect and then connect back again. but the thing is a few times of doing that and the entire VPN panel goes haywire and won't connect no more until the next reboot!!!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] arne182:
The unstable nature is due to the Gingerbread PPP code, in ICS google fixed the code to make it very stable. I use 1VPN to make the connection autoreconnect when it is dropped.

When I checked the issue, it appears that Windows Phone takes the carrier broadcast name, rather than obtaining it through the SIM card.

And in order to verify that this is an OS specific bug, I put my SIM card in my HTC Touch Cruise runnnig WM6.5, and the carrier name appeared correctly (Resolved through the SIM card I guess)

I'm not sure if this is a known bug or has been discussed. But couldn't find an answer to this question anywhere.
