Both the SGS3 and the Nexus 7 approve of that gzip binary. I wonder why they don't like the plain ARM7 version then though? It should be a case of least common denominator...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] alireza7991:
My GCC uses hardware floating point emulation so it strongly depends on the hardware floating point processors. cortex-a8 & cortex-a9 are using vfpv3 floating point unit but cortex-a15 uses vfpv4 . Linux kernel prevents the exebutable to be executed on a wrong cpu.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Nazo:
Is there any way to make all of these more universal? I can't help but to think that it's functionality that matters first and foremost with these tools rather than performance.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] alireza7991:
Yes, by building for armv4 (20-10x less performance). however I cannot have two seprated build systems on my android device

It 's a heavy job for that!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Nazo:
Well, one relatively universal build would work on everything, whereas if you make it something that only works on a select number of devices you're always going to have a lot of people complaining that it doesn't work. If performance matters, is there anything that's maybe a bit of a compromise? For example, someone brought up ARMv6 earlier. Would it work on all modern processors too like an ARMv4 would? I don't think you'll find anything worse than ARMv6 out there in any semi-modern device...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ricky Divjakovski:
by far the most useful thread i have came accross in months. thanks mate, great job!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] alireza7991:
If I build for armv6 then it absolutly won't work on cortex-a15. I mean armel by using armv4. It should support cortex-a(1-15).

It uses a pure and non-opimized code which does not use vfp so it would be more supportive in this case.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Nazo:
My opinion, and you may take it as you will, is that compatibility is more important than performance in this since you're filling a functionality gap with this software. IMO it would be better to have really slow universal binaries that actually work. You're providing source code anyway after all, so people who really needed better performance could recompile. Well, you can take that as you will. I'm grateful to see someone working on this as it was bugging me for the longest time that we were missing some very basic tools in Android even with BusyBox being added by root utilities (and of course built into things like CyanogenMod.) I still think that stuff like this should be built in frankly. (Like I said, modern smartphones have plenty of storage. These are definitely not little super-low end embedded devices with 8MB of flash storage, so I don't really understand why they treat them like minimal embedded devices.)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Setting.Out:
I installed these on my Nexus S and all seems well.. :) I cannot note any noteable differences, but no issues either.. :)

I installed all these manually, but I created a zip to flash them with permissions set to

set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/system/xbin/FILENAMEHERE");

Will this work to properly install these?

If I install the ones that aren't already in my xbin will this help/harm anything?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] alireza7991:
These are command line tools so you should see no difference .

Try a software, if it works then you have installed correctly. e.g.

gzip ---help
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Nazo:
It might also be wisest to stick with 0555 as 0777 gives anyone write access any time /system is mounted as read-write (as some root applications do.) Well, honestly I can't imagine anything trying to overwrite any of those by any means though, so it's mostly just good security practice rather than necessity. (I imagine if someone wanted to do some sort of virus for rooted users, they'd probably want to just take over the su binary itself rather than anything this replaces as that one would make the most sense for the stuff they'd want to be able to do.)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Setting.Out:
It installed fine, but it seems to effect my read ahead settings.. Without these added my read ahead is 512 (modded by a script) and with these installed it's back to 128...

Good to know, I didn't take security into account.. :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] alireza7991:
Try renaming the utils to avoid conflicting issues.However this utils does not effect any thing/scrip on your phone!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Setting.Out:
Just tested again... Same effect..??
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Nazo:
Are you sure it was these which modified it? Something else perhaps could have... Alternately, are you saying this affects everything or only these tools? It may be that they don't use whatever it is that you're modifying. (Just out of curiosity, what are you modifying to affect the read ahead anyway?)

It probably really doesn't matter. In general /system is, in almost all "distros" automatically mounted read-only, requires root access to remount with write permissions, and so on for starters, and even then I'm not sure what good it would be to try to infect one of these binaries since it's unlikely any normal tools call them (aka the user would have to manually run it.) I can only see it being beneficial on a multi-user device (Android lets you have multiple users defined) but the database access you can get with root access probably gives them anything they could need in that respect too (and for that matter, they could probably install some sort of snooping apk anyway if they wanted to gather data from other users) plus the other user would then have to use the modified binary. So realistically speaking, there's probably a 0% chance that 0777 versus 0555 will in any way matter. Really I guess ultimately it's just good practice that you don't set system binaries to be writable by any user, even if in this application it doesn't matter.

So, what i benefits of this?

If you don't know what this project does, it has no benefit for you. The benefit is for linux users that like to work in the shell
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rs tony:
Yeah, don't know alot about linux, but i know how to use utilities. I tried manually install these and when i rebooted phone, "su binay not found" don't know what is problem, i tried overwrite old utilities, wifi stopped working. Atleast i got backup so no problems.

[MENTION=4825267]alireza7991[/MENTION] I must be really dumb, because I can't find any binaries anywhere!? Where are they? (The link you provided only points to sources and some documents.)

How about adding the "file" and "hexedit" command utilities to your list?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] alireza7991:
same here ! I don't why this happens. I have experienced it in the past too :(

However, I 'm gonna re-upload them in a few hours;

about these ones, I will try to do ;) feel free to suggest any utils you need.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 7175:
File can be found in the zshaolin, search xda for the post. ALSO hd and hexdump can be succinctly scripted for speed. It's in my mkshrc as an exported function in the full mksh installer I posted in another thread.

Really appreciate all the great tools you've posted, especially bash 4.2, grep , pexec.

For anyone who wants to speed up shell use by parallelizing it:

I've been using this as my root "COMMAND LINE " in terminal emulator:

/system/xbin/su -c exec '/system/xbin/pexec --shell /system/bin/mksh -z -15 -c "/system/bin/mksh"'

NON-root:

/system/xbin/pexec --shell /system/bin/mksh -z -15 -c /system/bin/mksh

Replace the mksh path with bash or whatever shell you want to initialize with .

Really great job on the 0*lib dependant bash binary alireza7991. It's absolutely the best bash for android. I use it right along side full mksh and rolo's zsh.

I was wondering if you could put together full gnu find-utils (find, xargs, cpio , ) which still have half a testicle in busybox. An updated mksh to R49 is really what's number one on my wish list though . I just don't have any skills in compiling. I feel like all android devices need an up to date full mksh shell to see how beafy and capable mksh android shell is.

TThanks again for your work thus far.:D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] alireza7991:
thanks

I 'm working on an interesting project at the moment but when it finished I will return back and complete the job.

By the way, I have a replacement for pexec :

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] alanthehat:
don't use 'cp'

I'm getting the feeling that a few users are unpacking these binaries on one partition (SDcard?) they copying them to /system/xbin from there.

There is a widely noted problem with using 'cp' for this.

Use an alternative, 'cat' works well from the command line, or any of the graphical file managers (eg ESFileExplorer or RootExplorer).

With all options permissions & ownership will need correcting. Permissions can be 0111 or 0555 for binaries such as these (scripts need 0555), the original binaries have ownership root:shell.

Also worth considering is 'touch'ing with the correct date.

Simpler than this is unpacking the archive directly into the proper place.

---------- Post added at 10:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:41 AM ----------

thank you for this.

1) all binaries are absent from the link in the OP

2) why are you recommending to install to /system/xbin rather than /system/bin?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] alecxs:
Respective all links are down again, i recommend CrystaX NDK - a widely used, open-source drop-in replacement for Google's Android NDK.

In addition, there is also an alternative download source for some binaries. Beware to always copy libcrystax.so to /system/lib as all binaries depends on.

http://dl.crystax.net/builds/.../linux/cache/android
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] alecxs:
Because the CrystaX build is not working on newer Android, here is a Linux version of GNU tar which is compatible with Android 7. This one supports (SE) for Android™ security context (tar --selinux for restoring SELinux labels) - which means we are now able to fully unpack TWRP backups for example :)

edit:

you can find following pre-compiled binaries (nightly) for Android ARM, ARM64, x86, x86_64 in Open GApps:

busybox

tar

xzdec

zip

unzip

just unpack open_gapps.zip and rename the binary, for example tar-arm -> tar

We have an immediate need for an Android Technologist / Hacker. This project will take around 100-120 hours and there will be future projects available if the person is interested. All work can be done from home (100% remote) but the person does need to be within 100 miles of DC so we can hand off the devices.

Our company creates digital marketing experiences for national brands at sporting and entertainment events, retails stores, conventions etc. We recently completed a large project for the Super Bowl and we also have exhibits at the Final Four and many other large events.

The first large project will be to make a 360 degree photo booth using android cameras. We want to be able to press a button and have all the cameras take a picture at the same time. We need this person to hack the android devices so that they can trigger their cameras in real time and then save the images locally so the client can pull them off the devices.

Requirements/Skills of the Android Technologist / Hacker:

• Strong experience rooting, networking and streamlining android devices.

• Basic android app development skills (functionality, not front-end development).

• Ability to work independently (100% remote).

• Ability to tackle the project described above.

If you have any interest please email me at CCasella@G1440.com
[Networking] Lgrootnoob:
Don't think this belongs in networking but it could definitely be done.

Sadly, I'm in TX.

Hi folks,

you want accessories for your Fairphone? Here we go.

If you found other accessories which fits for the Fairphone, let us know and post it in this thread.

Official Fairphone Accessories

Finally the official Fairphone case is available at the Fairphone accessories website. Choose your language at the upper right corner and go.

The first official accessory is the case.

Video from How do I fit my Fairphone in its case? (Video Tutorial)

Review by [MENTION=5415412]MoreThanADev[/MENTION]

It's probably a mistake, the case is black, not blue as shown in the second image. But maybe it will be available as well.

Price is currently at 19,42 EUR (

without

VAT -

ohne

MwSt). So you have to add your VAT, for Germany for example it's 19%, results in 23,11 EUR incl. VAT. On top of that you have the shipping fees and it's toll free within Europe (Information about the German Zoll). Can anyone help with the toll fees for Switzerland?

Third Party Accessories

Amazon.de (Germany)

Ok, above it's Amazon.de, the German website. But just search for Fairphone at your local Amazon website and you'll find something. Anyone with other websites where we can find Fairphone accessories?

Personally I own this car smartphone holder, which I really like, as shown below. I tried it with a Galaxy Nexus, Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE, Nexus 5 and even a Note 2 fits. It should work for the Fairphone as well. Only charging could be a small problem, as you have to plug in the usb cable at the top of your device.
[Fairphone 1] MoreThanADev:
about the case

I bought the blue case, here is my opinion.

good :

-The case protect the phone :)

-In the case, the back of the phone is flat, therefore you can put it on a table, and touch the screen, it wont move.

bad :

- Using the volume button in the case is a pain in the ass. Basically every time i want to shift the volume, i remove the case.

- I don't know if that happen only with my phone of if it's a global issue, but when having a call with the phone in the case, the person i am talking to complains a lot about hearing it's own voice. This is a very big issue. The only work around for me now is to remove the case whenever i receive a phone call, or to use an hand-free kit.

-The phone doesn't really fit perfectly well in the case. There is no risk of the phone getting of the case, but there is always a corner that is not as deep in the case as the others.

-This is the first time i see the kind of plastic used for the case, (it's some kind of recycled plastic), it feels like plastic carton (ie : you keep having that feeling that it will stay folded if you fold it once).

-The sailing page states that "For your reference, the audio/headset jack port is sized at 6mm diameter.", i didn't encounter problems about it but others ave reported difficulty/impossibility to plug in their jack plug.

[MENTION=1656095]benxda[/MENTION] maybe you want to add this video of the case to your post ?

[Fairphone 1] benkxda:
Thanks for your review. I added the video and linked to your review. The blue version is only available when buying as a bundle with the Fairphone? I did not see a blue one being available in the store.

About your review, hehe. The second good point is the reason I buyed a "case" for my Nexus 5. The device has a big camera module, popping out of the device... this should not happen at a Nexus. Ok. I bought a case, I would call it "case lite". The case cut outs are so nice for reaching all buttons, audio jack and USB micro socket. Yes, it's not suitable for the Fairphone of course, but maybe this is an idea for Fairphone's next case. Should we add this to the requests to Fairphone?

Two other benefits beside the plane backside and the best cut outs. The case is very grippy (like the Nexus 5 is by itself), slim and it looks beautiful. I don't use the screen protector which is delivered with the case. Also, you can get it for 10 Euro from Amazon (in this case German site).
[Fairphone 1] MoreThanADev:
In late 2013, the blue version was definitely available in the store, along with charger and sim adapter.

Probably only black case where left unsold when they started to link the accessory shop on the main page ?

(Actually i just checked here , it seems nothing at all is left to be sold (the page is displaying "No products found..." in my browser). Is it just a temporary bug ? or did they sold everything ? hmm)

If someone really want a blue case, maybe s/he could wait, they may make some again ? For exemple for FP2 's release (if FP2 is similar to FP1) ? :)

Anyway, you have 3d files so you can always build some with a 3d printer. (Not sure if it's that easy thought :) )
