[MOD] VPN/Tether Compatibility Fix for CM10.1 :: 5/29 :: Should work w/most AOSP Posted By - k0nane Added 062013

Info

Stock tether on CM10.1 doesn't play nice if you use a VPN that sends all traffic through it (tested with OpenVPN, redirect-gateway). A few iptables rules later, it does. This fix applies those rules at startup (they're lost on reboot). Like gapps, this fix hooks into addon.d, and will survive CM OTAs.

This should work on any ROM that's based on AOSP, implements addon.d, and uses 192.168.43.x as its tether DHCP range. Don't even try this on stock.

[HOW TO] [ROOT] Motochopper by Dan Rosenberg Posted By - k0nane added 061412

Note:

The UVUAMDL update includes Samsung's silly root-restricting kernel. You'll need to downgrade it or use a custom one to avoid that.

All you need to know, folks. To get the dev options menu, and enable USB Debugging, tap the build number in About Phone until it tells you it's been enabled.

You'll need the drivers.

Unlike on AT&T devices, we do have a return to stock option, though it is not "virgin" as a Samsung-sourced TAR would be.

[HOW TO] [ROOT] Stupid SU: Galaxy S 4 stock+root helper Posted By - supercurio added 061412

Info

As some of you must have noticed, latest Samsung GT-I9500 firmwares carry a kernel configuration supposed to prevent SETUID privilege elevation.

Stock unmodified firmware with root is my preferred setup but also a strong dependency for all my development, for me this change is a massive setback if not a dealbreaker.

[HOW TO]Building Kernels Posted By - serendipityguy added 062913

Java 6: for Gingerbread and newer

The Sun JDK is no longer in Ubuntu's main package repository. In order to download it, you need to add the appropriate repository and indicate to the system which JDK should be used.

If you are only interested in the kernel, you may use this guide to download and build the appropriate kernel.

The following instructions assume that you have not downloaded all of AOSP. If you have downloaded all of AOSP, you may skip the git clone steps other than the step to download the actual kernel sources.

We will use the Pandaboard kernel in all the following examples

[HOW TO]Developing Kernels Posted By - serendipityguy added 062913

Developing Kernels

To work with the Android code, you will need to use both Git and Repo. In most situations, you can use Git instead of Repo, or mix Repo and Git commands to form complex commands. Using Repo for basic across-network operations will make your work much simpler, however.

Git

is an open-source version-control system designed to handle very large projects that are distributed over multiple repositories. In the context of Android, we use Git for local operations such as local branching, commits, diffs, and edits. One of the challenges in setting up the Android project was figuring out how to best support the outside community--from the hobbiest community to large OEMs building mass-market consumer devices. We wanted components to be replaceable, and we wanted interesting components to be able to grow a life of their own outside of Android. We first chose a distributed revision control system, then further narrowed it down to Git.

Repo

is a repository management tool that we built on top of Git. Repo unifies the many Git repositories when necessary, does the uploads to our revision control system, and automates parts of the Android development workflow. Repo is not meant to replace Git, only to make it easier to work with Git in the context of Android. The repo command is an executable Python script that you can put anywhere in your path. In working with the Android source files, you will use Repo for across-network operations. For example, with a single Repo command you can download files from multiple repositories into your local working directory.

Gerrit

is a web-based code review system for projects that use git. Gerrit encourages more centralized use of Git by allowing all authorized users to submit changes, which are automatically merged if they pass code review. In addition, Gerrit makes reviewing easier by displaying changes side by side in-browser and enabling inline comments.
