i cant connect via browser, ssh or via remote.

EDIT: It works! I have to use my wifi IP, not the "13.10.11.12."

SO YES! ME was silly!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DesktopECHO:
Glad to hear this worked out for you! Looks like v1.5 has worked out really well for the majority of folks. Hundreds of installs on scores of devices with just one so far that has refused to work (Samsung Galaxy Tab 2)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Senichan:
so, little update for interested and reading enthusiasts. And yes, also for the DEV and your great work!

but before: please excuse my poor english

So, here we go:

I have now again a lot of work with the Android Pi Hole done. The first thing I did was to take the Samsung tablet out of service again. There were too many difficulties with the CPU display:

Performance was always at about 400 percent according to the display, but the CPU did nothing in reality.

In addition, the tablet only ran via Wi-Fi, which would be a no-go for me in the long run.

BUT, i have found in the drawer still an old ORBSMART S84 TV Box. This seemed perfect to me, since:

-Cortex-A53 (Octa-Core ARMv8-A), GPU: ARM Mali-T820 (Octa-Core).

-prerooted Android 6 from the factory, completely open

-only 10 watts power consumption

-Multiple USB ports and SD card slots for storage, Mouse, Keyboard and everything you need.

First i factory reset it, uninstalled the no needs and frozen the Google services, launcher, media tools, etc of the box via root with the app: "app quarantine". Everything that is not needed is therefore not disturbed. Lo and behold, 1.4 GB of free RAM and a processor that almost sleeps - perfect.

Then I installed the Android Pihole according to the instructions. Everything without problems. I also installed Busybox and the T-UI launcher for the feelings.

The whole thing runs wonderfully, in the router I have the GoogleDNS and OpenDNS via IPv4 route routed to the Pi-Hole. Thus, even devices like the Google Chromecast, which have the GoogleDNS hardcoded, no longer receive advertising. (YES no Youtube Ads on Chromecast! GREAT, WONDERFULL) EDIT: A few days later google must have fixed it, because ads on Chromecast are back. Apparently, the ads now use the same DNS as YouTube videos, so they can no longer be blocked via DNS.

After installation and configuration, there were still some problems with the update. The web interface showed an update, but pihole -up claimed everything was up-to-date. The command sudo p4a-install fixed the problem.

So, thank you DEV, GREAT Projekt and now my daily driver!

I write the whole thing here just to push the project again a little.

I find that the Rasberrys have become very expensive and also difficult to get. Of course, I know that the Orbsmart TV Player is also expensive, but I had it lying around unused. Therefore, I think the Android Pihole project is great and I'm glad to finally have a way to use Pihole.

I still have one small question:

How do I set the Pihole the correct time over the Internet?

I did it first over SSH via "Date --set="STRING"". Nevertheless, it would be great if the Pihole sets its time automatically once a month.

Greets and thanks again!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DesktopECHO:
Have you tried letting Android take care of time sync? The Linux container should inherit the time from the host OS.

If that's not OK for some reason, you can try instaling NTP in CentOS.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] csas25:
Hey, Im hoping someone can spoonfeed me this because I cant figure out why it's not starting :

I tar gzipped from the git of this project because the link to v1.5 doesnt work anymore.

Im using android 4.4.4, linuxdeploy 2.5.1-257 and busybox 1.31.1-46.

I get this error when trying to Install : rc.local ... chroot: can't execute '/bin/su': No such file or directory
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DesktopECHO:
Maybe you're having an ISP issue? Link works for me.

I tried downloading with the phone and not the PC and got the file. It's working now... AWESOME!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dad1nh0:
Hi @DesktopECHO, I'm installing on a rooted Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge running Pixel Experience on android 10. Maybe it's a silly problem but I can't set the right folder to install.

According to Solid Explorer, the file is located in /storage/emulated/0/Download/p4a15.tar.gz but Linux Deploy cant find apparently, always fail to import rootfs
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DesktopECHO:
Hi @dad1nh0 maybe SElinux needs to be disabled.

Try this: https://xdaforums.com/t/app-tool-2-0-official-the-selinux-switch.3656502/
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DesktopECHO:
One more idea.. try copying the file to some other place on the device, maybe

/data/local/
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dad1nh0:
Yes! This worked for me. As of now, im just suffering a little to get RDP working, but ssh on termius is working fine
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dad1nh0:
Nvm, i got it! Thank you so much for your work, I was looking for something like this in a long time. Using ths method, can I install AdGuard Home instead of Pi-hole?

As soon as I have enough time I would like to translate this, bc I know that many are looking for this in my country.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DesktopECHO:
No idea about AdGuard home, give it a try and let me know.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dad1nh0:
Hey @DesktopECHO, I've saw that you have a nextcloud pi project similar to this one in your GitHub. How can I use both simultaneously? Is it possible?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DesktopECHO:
Hi... Normally it would be, but Pi-hole is having issues in PHP 8.0/8.1. If a fix comes out, it would not be difficult to have them co-exist in the same Linux Deploy container.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DesktopECHO:
Hello all -- Pi-hole dropped support for Linux distros older < mid-2018, so I'm asking for feedback on my updated p4a-install script. To deal with this, when you upgrade Pi-hole, instead of downloading the install binary it builds the latest Pihole-FTL from source.

Login to your device via SSH or RDP and download the updated script. If the container has less than 300MB free, back-up and reprovision a bigger image file (2048MB as a safe minimum)

sudo bash -c "wget -O /usr/local/bin/p4a-install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DesktopECHO/Pi-hole-for-Android/main/usr/local/bin/p4a-install ; p4a-install"

Moving forward, to update Pi-hole for Android run sudo p4a-install and not the equivalent pi-hole -Up

Hi, I am using this app and it is great. However it seems like I can't use pihole as a DHCP server as related ports (67 and 68) of the "docker" (I'm not sure this is the right term, feel free to correct me) can't be accessed from my network. I can reach the DHCP related ports on the device that pi deploy is installed and all other devices in the network, except the "docker".
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DesktopECHO:
Not sure why you're having issues... Can you SSH or RDP to the device and run the following to check if anything is listening on those ports?

sudo ss -lnp '( sport = 67 )'

I'm not on here very often, best to file an issue on GitHib instead.

i picked up on a s5 neo because of the 64bit cpu over the snapdragon 801, cost only 60$ and is supported by lineage-os to my surprise the latest official version of it runs on 32bit even though the cpu can run 64bit, i did look at phone info [samsung] on the stock rom and it ran in 32 bit as well, the most i know about it is that it was android 6.0.1, so my questions is will lineage-os put this phone on 64bit since it can run it and did it ever have 64bit support at all from android, because i didn't try android 7 at all, i did try the Cosmic-Kernel that appears to run in 64bit but truth be told i haven't got a clue what im doing as to install it so i didn't try to hard to install it, heres a link to the github for it

[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
You have to distinguish between a device's Linux kernel and device's Android OS. Both are different to each device.

A kernel for Android OS basically is a mainstream Linux kernel, with additional drivers for the specific device, and other additional functionality, such as enhanced power management or faster graphics support.
[General Questions and Answers] altir:
If I'm not mistaken the kernel determines if the OS is 32bit, not necessarily the OS am I right or can the OS and kernel be 32bit
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
Actually any 64-bit ARM SoC can run 32-bit software ( Linux kernel -> modules, Android OS -> libraries & executables ) due to its 32-bit compatibilty mode.

This will change: ARM has announced that from 2023, all of its new smartphone CPU cores will be 64-bit only, with no 32-bit compatibility mode.

BTW:

Have never heard that Linux kernel determines whether Android OS has to run in 32-bit mode or 64-bit mode.
[General Questions and Answers] altir:
I know of running 32bit software on a 64 bit processor works on the same way with typical desktops and laptops, I'm trying to figure out how to make it run in 64bit mode, and determine the easiest way to do it

I'm trying to keep from running Google Play Services at all, but it seems like Galaxy Wearable is one of the few apps that simply will not work (will not sync) without it.

However, I was going to try and segment anything that requires Google Play Services in a work profile, but I am getting an error when installing it. I've tried on 2 Samsung devices (S21 Ultra & Galaxy Fold 3), and I'm seeing the same thing.

Any suggestions?

Attached is an image I took of my wife's phone after putting her case back on.

Now, since I work in Frontend Web Development | Design & part-time Penetration Testing, she assumes I will know.

I have never seen this before. I have UTFSE and to no avail. I also am working hard on deploying this React.js web app, and I cannot figure out what the heck this is.

I did restart the phone in safe mode, then restarted back to normal. Everything is fine, failing to understand what this is and what happened.

I was hoping smarter people with Android would know this better than I did.

Samsung Galaxy S20

Carrier: Google Fi

Plan: Simply Unlimited

Bought: About 5 months ago, completely unlocked from Samsung, same with my S21 Ultra 5G 256GB.

Developer Options Enabled, only for USB Debugging, which I turned off because we never sideload apk's onto her phone.

When she put on her weird and overly complicated case, did she possibly press some button combinations that caused this odd bootloader sequence? Or what the heck is it? Never seen it, and it only says information about the bootloader. I am failing to understand. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, everyone.

There are basically four modes to android phones

System - normal everyday operation

Safe mode - normal everyday operation - Doesn't load 3rd party apps ie: apps from playstore etc. Usually pressing vol down key while phone is starting.

Recovery Mode - for clearing system cache, format etc. This mode is entered by pressing certain keys on your phone when starting the phone.

Download ( Odin ) Mode - Used for flashing Samsung firmware through PC app called Odin. This mode is entered by pressing certain keys on your phone when restarting the phone or using recovery mode.

From your screen shot you have entered into to 'download mode'. Press and hold the keys on the display to reboot back into system ( volume down + power buttons ) or recovery, safe or download mode again.

How to Boot Your Galaxy S20 into Recovery Mode or Download Mode

Recovery mode and download mode are useful for modding and they can come in handy in a pinch. Booting into recovery mode to do a factory reset or wipe cache fan save your Galaxy S20 from a soft brick, and entering download mode lets you install firmware with utilities like Odin and Smart Switch.

I also get drops in LTE network and it goes to H+ depending on area.

I call sony support and they say this issue is related to T-mobile and not the phone because people can call me using the internet using an app like viber etc. I go to T-mobile and i switch my sim card and reset network settings and i still received complain that someone called me and it did not go thru.

[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] MrGoodtunes:
If it is a hardware issue (which sounds likely), there's an old electronics trick you might try: Power it off, put it in the refridgerator awhile, take it back out and power it on. This has work'd for me with stereo components, for example, as well as a phone. It once revived a hard disk drive long enough for me to capture important data. Oh, but the phone this has brought back for me, an S10e BTW, works only while still cold and has issues with charging while its temperature is low. Still may be worth a try.
