[Shield Tablet Android Development] grizzlema:
So i am a complet noob when it comes to playing with android/ i was wanting to try this out since i have played around with kali before and wanted to get a nexus to try nethunter, but never wanted to dish out the money. I have a K1 and correct me if im wrong in installing: was going to install TWRP, flash the optimized stock rom posted by grtcraft, then flash the posted kernel and nethunter. after im done with all this will the tablet still look like the stock rom or different? again really new to all of this.
[Shield Tablet Android Development] FrankVGL93:
does this work on the latest ota??
[Shield Tablet Android Development] hotshot247:
so I'm having an issue with nethunter that i'm not sure if somebody else ran across but my issue is that the nethunter icons are not there anymore. it was rooted and it has a custom recovery on it and i updated to the latest firmware version from 1.4 to 1.5 using the custom recovery and i had to reroot the tablet and reflash nethunter but now, the nethunter icon isn't showing up and i don't have any idea on how to bring it back... is their a way to fully uninstall nethunter so i can reflash it again because i was thinking that getting it totally off my tablet and then reflashing it might help. thanks for the help!
[Shield Tablet Android Development] fattire:
New firmware? I've been out of it. You're saying the nethunter icon doesn't appear in the launcher? Does it show up in the Settings->App list? Do you see it's installed if you shell into the phone and check /data/apps or whatever..?

If you're intent on removing it, do you mean you want to remove the chroot as well? Or just the app?
[Shield Tablet Android Development] hotshot247:
hey, thanks for reminding me about the /data/app directory, i didn't even think to look in there. the weird thing is that i seen the nethunter.apk file in there but the icon wasn't anywhere else, almost like it wasn't installed so I installed the apk file from the /data/app directory and now the icon is showing up and everything is working. that never happened to me before, lol

Update 5.0 (Nougat)

Will this work on Nvidia's 5.0 update for the shield k1? Im on nougat, have root, unlocked bootloader, and twrp.:confused:
[Shield Tablet Android Development] hotshot247:
no, unfortunately it won't work because you have to flash a custom kernel for nethunter to work right and the kernel is a marshmallow kernel so if you try to flash it on nougat, it'll brick your device.
[Shield Tablet Android Development] pinkbandit315:
All i did was restore a previous TWRP backup while i was on MM, but you updated to Nougat with Kali-Nethunter installed.

ALSO a little off topic, but when you updated to 5.0, did you update with a custom recovery and root?
[Shield Tablet Android Development] hotshot247:
yea, i updated to nougat with kali-nethunter installed. i had to reroot it but i have the latest TWRP installed so that didn't take long to root it again. i downloaded the Full update, not the partial by going to system update and then found where it downloaded it and moved it to my sdcard then flashed it with twrp and flashed the supersu package. when i booted up is when i realized that they don't have a custom nougat kernel for nethunter yet.
[Shield Tablet Android Development] Sk8er1024:
1 more question, is it because i am using a standard otg cable and need an otg y cable?

Edit: nvm thats not working either.
[Shield Tablet Android Development] Sk8er1024:
just wanted to update, i was able to resolve this by reflashing the latest nethunter kernal.
[Shield Tablet Android Development] hightechstl:
Ok I'm still having issues. I've tried Stock 6.0.1 and CM13 and re flashed multiple times. Can anyone help?

[Shield Tablet Android Development] SwisSwiss:
hello all, so there is no work around for those of us on nougat? or am I missing something
[Shield Tablet Android Development] Bryanx86:
I don't think it could just be a work around for a kernel to work on a whole different Android version, just sayin...
[Shield Tablet Android Development] alvertosk:
So I have a question. With Kali Nethunter can the K1 use all the ports? Mini HDMI? Sound? Micro SD? Thanks for your time. I will make it a weekend project!
[Shield Tablet Android Development] equi_design:
Edit: I have Kali Nethunter up & running on Nougat. I'll post a detailed tutorial later today after further in-depth testing.

So y'all... We need a Nougat NH kernel so we can update our Shields. I'm researching now. Is anyone else willing to help?
[Shield Tablet Android Development] nicotinoo:
Thank
[Shield Tablet Android Development] lswordfishl:
Can anyone help with installing proper kernel on nougat? I have manged to install and run nethunter but could not use all its features due to kernel problem.

Tried to install different kernels but nothing , some of them cant be installed via twrp with some strange error: 1

I have LTE RoW
[Shield Tablet Android Development] equi_design:
Sorry y'all for the delay. Offline life threw some zingers at me. Anyhow, here is what I did to upgrade my Nvidia Shield tablet (RoW LTE) from Marshammlow to Nougat and then install Kali Nethunter.

1. Make a nandroid backup. REALLY!

2. Find an AOSP Nougat ROM you like & throw it on your SD card.

3. Download your Gapps & Superuser. I'm using the Pico Open Gapps & Chainfire's su version 2.52.

4. Boot to Recovery & wipe.

5. Flash the ROM, Gapps, & su.

6. Wipe caches. Reboot.

7. Let your ROM settle & set things up a bit. Mainly here you just do NOT want to flash the new kernel on a "clean" setup.

8. I pulled the kernel from here:https://www.securityaddicted.com/2018/01/02/kali-nethunter-nvidia-shield-tablet/ (A big thank you to Alex!)

9. And the latest Kali Nethunter rolling generic.

10. Reboot to Recovery.

11. Make a nandroid backup.

12. Flash Nethunter.

13. Flash the kernel.

14. Reboot the most awesome tablet ever!

15. Open your Nethunter app as usual & finish the setup, install chroot (f needed), etc.
[Shield Tablet Android Development] bluegizmo83:
Can I simple install the Kali nethunter rolling generic and your linked kernel for nougat over top my current tablet setup?

I've got an Nvidia Shield Tablet running on stock rooted 7.0, with TWRP as the recovery and Bit-O's custom kernel.

Edit: nevermind, I missed the AOSP ROM thing... I assume that's an absolute requirement?
[Shield Tablet Android Development] equi_design:
You most definitely need to be on AOSP for this to work.
[Shield Tablet Android Development] bluegizmo83:
If you don't mind me asking, what AOSP Nougat ROM did you use? What would you recommend? I was looking at LineageOS but I see they remove all traces of google based apps and I need those so that won't work.

Edit: also, I'm curious, what would it take to get Nethunter working on a stock rooted nougat rom instead of an AOSP? The OP of this thread said back during the marshmallow releases that Nethunter would work on the stock rooted shield tablet Rom. Is it just because a kernel needs to be created that's compatible with Nethunter and the stock nougat Rom, but for now a kernel was just created for AOSP nougat Roms?
[Shield Tablet Android Development] bluegizmo83:
Ok so I just decided to go ahead and try that lineage kernel anyway with my stock rooted shield tablet and it worked just fine! I installed Nethunter through the Magisk module though, not the zip flash way, but everyone works great!

I do have one problem though, I can't get nethunter to put my external WIFI adapter in monitor mode. It's a TL-WN722N (which I know works in monitor mode as I use with on my desktop Linux box as such). It's being recognised in the system, I can ifconfig it and see wlan1, but when I try to enable monitor mode it says "SET failed on device wlan1 ; Operation not supported." Any ideas?
[Shield Tablet Android Development] Digital DJ:
Any chance this thread is still alive?
[Shield Tablet Android Development] kbeezie:
Well... the last reply before yours was July 2018... so guess not.
[Shield Tablet Android Development] UsPdSr:
What do you expect?

Be happy to have a working kernel for Nougat.The device, altough with very well specs, is hugely outdated.

If you desire another Android environment for Nethunter then you have to build the necessary kernel.

I hope I could help.
[Shield Tablet Android Development] UsPdSr:
I decided to take on Android development, since awhile and the used Shield in good condition(of course, with (Kali) Nethunter support, was the deciding factor.

Anyhowsel - after 2 weeks intensive compiling etc., can I proudly present a Oreo compatible kernel;I have tried the following custom roms so far:

LineageOS (no microG)

Resurrection Remix

Omnirom (best results)

I wanted to emphasize that the kernel is in Beta.

Kernel Source was the legendary one, the rom, which shall not be mentioned by name.

Lineage was catastrophic, Omnirom will I perhaps give another shot with a different toolchain.

The 8.0+ kernel is made with Linaro, Wireless patch, Vnc is working.

The guys made a excellent kernel, good battery life etc.

HID is not working, but that needs to be tested.

The Drive Droid functionality is not of interest, but as long as the Shield runs, have I intention to work on this or other kernel.

I have a little problem detected with specific TWRP versions and roms, but as usual didn't thought to make a notice, somewhere..

You have to mount the system manually, before the kernel installation and/or the chroot, which images I will upload if there is interest, gladly.

Sometimes, the kernel has not enough space system-wise, but I build 3,4 different types.

I would appreciate a feedback..

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=298817
[Shield Tablet Android Development] UsPdSr:
So

the best installation procedure and most compatible files.

Latest TWRP 3.3.1.0

Omnirom 8.1.0-20180807

Opengapps 8.1arm (pico!)

Magisk 19.4

Setup Wizard, Magisk modules(can be found in my androidfilehost account)

Before flashing the kernel as well as the chroot, please make sure that 'System' is checked in TWRP.

This is the 'beta part', but no worries.

Chroot full Installer

No issue whatsoever..I would be glad to get feedback from the user.

[Shield Tablet Android Development] discomilk:
Interested in testing this kernel with L4T Ubuntu as it looks like I'll be needing to update that kernel myself like you did here. Before I test you have any idea if it'll work with L4T? I'm trying to update to Ubuntu 18 but am running it touchscreen, bluetooth, and peripheral issues.
[Shield Tablet Android Development] UsPdSr:
Sorry, even though I like the 'linux'/tegra project, do I have no knowledge about their development.

Like I wrote did I try 4 or 5 kernel.Three were all different branches of Lineage, Omnirom has definitely potential if you will and the last was pure luck.I found the source later an have struggled with the right toolchain, because I wanted to build with UberTC instead of Google's, linaro was a very good solution at the end..

If I were not such a beginner in Android development, would I proceeded with Omnirom's kernel source, but this was at day 3 (after sitting 2 days straight in front of the PC from, ~ 8 or 9 days total.

I wish you good luck.

I was beginning to think the forum is abandoned. ;)

PS

On Github did I came across several sources of the stock kernel.

Is this a option/possibility?
[Shield Tablet Android Development] discomilk:
Ahh seems like your guess is as good as mine as I'm also a beginner in Android Development, however I do see nvidia still updating L4T https://nv-tegra.nvidia.com/gitweb/ so I can hopefully take a look at what Bogdacutu did on his kernel and even your kernel and cherry pick what I need from the linux kernel, then hopefully update and I won't break anything!
[Shield Tablet Android Development] UsPdSr:
It is definitely a quite interesting approach.

Kudos, to take this on! :svetius:

Ya, I have to get much familiar with github.There are many things I have to re-re... -read, but hey.Do you know hiw proud I am of this little piece software above.

It is not so that I strut around the street, but you know..

I use (Kali) Nethunter since years and finally wanted a screen which doesn't ruin my eyesight forever, without spending a fortune, because it's a gimmick in the end, a powerful one, but not in relation to Kali Linux+common Pc.

Anyway, I bought this guy used on eBay, replaced without any fine motor skills the backcase, which I found nearly in new condition for 14 Euro and voil
[Shield Tablet Android Development] UsPdSr:

[Shield Tablet Android Development] marek_m37:
Shield tablet 1st gen

Hey, would this package work for Shield Tablet 1st gen (not K1)?
[Shield Tablet Android Development] UsPdSr:
I earnestly can't say.I had the K1 and focused on that, but the kernel source is from DU's repo.

They rarely do bad work ;)

If the kernel installer is still online, then try it with them, as it is based on the lazy flasher/anykernel.

If you can't download the kernel installer alone, just let me know and I'll upload it happily again.

Don't forget to use the recommended roms.
[Shield Tablet Android Development] marek_m37:
I would be grateful for kernel installer upload. I will try install Kali NetHunter Marshmallow if it's compatible. Previously i had Marshmallow Cyanogenmod but it didn't work well.
[Shield Tablet Android Development] UsPdSr:
I forgot my AFH account.. Just take a pick.^

Here you'll find one of the recommended custom roms.

How far did your Kali Nethunter experience has come so far?

Any user experience to share?
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ozgurce:
Hi

I discover something when I try everything to work something out for *#06# on a custom rom.

Samsung made some changes in the csc code on their phones.

When you try to fial a secret code it looks the spesific file with csc code in /system/etc

File changes csc to csc. It name is for example on my devic TUR_keystrings.dat . Only the TUR part changes in the file name. As i see it from my experince file is same on all international roms.

So what to do when secret code doesnt work on custom rom ?

First find the csc base of your rom. I mean when you look at the /sytem/SW_Configuration.xml file you see douzen of csc listed there. All name there should work.

For example. You find the THL Part in the name.

Now we need to find the keystring file .

Look at this image. You can look at /system/csc folder deeper and you will find the file.

See the sup_keystrings.dat

Copy that file to /system/etc and name it THL_keystrings.dat and give 644 permission.

Reboot.

Boom its works.

I share default keystrings file to you. I hope it works for you too.

Important part is finding your base csc.

If you cant find it download a hex editor and open the /system/csc/salescode.dat file with it. It will show you your csc.

Click thank if it works for you too.

doesn't work on custom oreo rom
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TrayDays:
I can confirm, this certainly works on nougat. A custom rom I'm using is s6 rom and the dialer for the codes wasn't working. So I basically copied my TMB_keystrings.dat into both folders just to be sure it worked. Because my ROM didn't have no TMB_keystrings or any ___keystrings.dat any system/csc or system/etc

so, i got TMB_kystrings from my original stock csc that I have as backup and paste in both directories (system/csc) and (system/etc).

Confirm. It's working for nougat. I don't know about oreo, I can't get oreo on my phone. (N920T).
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjlabais:
The location of the ???keystrings.dat is listed from within csc/contents.db file as shown in the attachment. There is no guess work needed to try and put them elsewhere.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TrayDays:
Sorry for the late reply, but yes the keystrings.dat file shall be inside the folder of the "stock rom" in system/etc/___keystrings.dat but this is a stock nougat rom. It may also be in the folder of omc/(___)/etc/___keystrings.dat

just grab the file from stock and paste it into the internal memory of your phone or sdcard. Then copy and paste it into the root of the phone using a file explorer(i use MixPlorer) into both directories system/csc/___keystrings.dat &system/etc/___keystrings.dat

since this is what worked for me on nougat but should work for oreo as well if you find the ___keystrings.dat file.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjlabais:
Let me rephrase what I have said earlier. The location of XXXkeystrings.dat IS DEFINED inside the file "contents.db". You don't need multiple copies of the file as you described above. You can use DB Browser for SQ Lite to view "contents.db" You can also relocate XXXkeystrings.dat to another location, you just need to update "contents.db".
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TrayDays:
Ah, that's what you meant. I thought you were talking about the location of it. But that's good to know that., thanks.

I was changing the font on my rooted LG G3. This required a reboot. Upon doing this, my phone showed the splash page, went blank, and the LED started to blink. Every time I pressed one of the buttons, It vibrated two times. And when i pressed again, it vibrated once. I took out the phone battery a number of times. and it chooses to do the same thing. I set it to charge for 20 minutes with/without the battery. I unplugged and ejected the battery, held the power button down, and reinserted the battery. And I even held the power/vol-down buttons to reset the phone, but even this proved to be useless. I searched profusely online, and I found nothing. There is <50% battery remaining. I cant even access the internal storage. Please.. Help.. Me..
[LG Optimus 4X HD] lg-optimus:
I try ROMs and ROMs and ROMs and all are unusable, because the

phone freezes with nameless-5.1.1-20151107-p880-nightly or

reboots when starting apps with euphoria-os-1.1-p880-unofficial-20160208-user or

is extremely slow and is stottering with aosplp-20151122-p880

a..s.o

The apps which lead to a reboot with euphoria work fine with aosp and nameless. Euphoria is fast, faster than nameless, which would be fast enough for me. There are no problems which exist with every ROM.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a ROM for the P880 which works without big problems. At the moment I think about to go back to 4.4 and try beanstalk-4.4.4010-20140904-p880cm

I'm running Euphoria version 1.0-p880-20150130 (Android 5.0.2), it's the best Lollipop based custom ROM for our device in my opinion. Unlike AOSP it has more settings (& features), and it's more stable than later versions of Euphoria. If you want to stick to KitKat, check out the latest CM nightlies.

To be honest, after 2 years of testing custom ROM... today i finally found the best one to keep... STOCK!!!

I've re-discovered the pleasure of see who is calling me at once, not after 20 seconds. I can finally take photos, hear who is calling, open apps without having to wait like 20-30 seconds.

I appreciate the effort of every developer... but at the end, the result is that out of 20-30 custom ROMs for our phone... no one can be used for daily use and being happy with it

Here's the issues I found with LG stock JB-4.1.2 ROM v20 euro-open. If you can live with them, then good for you.

- Bluetooth button action broken. Cannot invoke Google Search or Voice Dialer from bluetooth headsets. Fixed in custom ROM such as CM/AOSP KK and LP.

- No update for Google Maps. Version 7 is the final version for v20c. Fixed in CM/AOSP KK/LP.

- No notification from Lock Screen. Fixed in CM/AOSP LP.

- No smart lock to avoid the hassle of entering PINs for known location and known BT device. Fixed in CM/AOSP LP.

- No screen cast. Fixed in AOSP LP.

- No bluetooth tethering. Fixed in AOSP LP.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] bs360:
Actually I'm on stock now (euro 20c), and my version of Maps is 9.25.1.

But yes, you're right...I'm ok because for instance I don't use bluetooth at all.

I still miss to test "AOSP Lollipop 5.1.1 | MoltenMotherBoard"...but my question is: is smooth as the stock? Are these working ? camera, flash, barcode, dialer reader, calls in general..

thanks in advance
[LG Optimus 4X HD] csk1jw:
When I was still on LG stock JB, Maps somehow got updated. But then the device slowed to crawl and I factory reset it and I didn't get Google Play store to update it again. Glad you have it and it works for you.

Barcode and FM radio are not working. If these 2 are important to you, then you should stick with LG stock.

For UI smoothness, I think Lollipop itself has made tons of improvement that it is at least the same or better than JB. Don't take my words for it, you should try it out yourself and pass on the judgement.
