"Tester"

Hi I have and HTC Hero from Sprint, I'm not a linux power user but I spent lots of time in my computer running Ubuntu just for 2 big reasons 1 freeware and 2 it has the best an simplest packet manager... I love deb files that installs like any .exe win programs I love that! I'm son not a coder and have little to no skills under Linux shell I use my sudo nautilus commands and so because I need it but I hate to untar or tar gz crap... for me that it old and useless some linux power user may get offended by that comment but hi times changes we love GUI... if you manage to post prints screens or a word open office or PDF documentation dummy proof I'm very up to be a Happy tester... the other thing I'm a Digital Graphic Designer if you need some design for a GUI and can try to help you in making and eye candy app...

Here it the way I will love to see grow this project... finding a way to installed it as an apk file like others in the android market so users can install the app easy then...in top of that a simple GUI to browse to the SD card in order to get the apk2 file... you where talking about not being able to run programs that has GUI that it is sad but still interesting but a lot of work to do without a good community because that means that all GUI may need to be re-design to the different resolution on the phones and be touch friendly...

I'm not sure if I'm helping at all but I love the big picture behind your project...

I'm porting opkg on Android, but i'm can't tell that's a trivial task )))

i also wrote simple howto "building and porting linux apps for android from scratch", but on russian. If needed i can do some translating and put here too.

Also may be we can open project for buildroot-like framework for android and opkg's repository. In my how-to i'm use crosstool-ng + gcc + uClibc.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xela92:
Wow! Please do some translating! :)

But, when you finish the porting, how will you manage to port the packages?

Will you use the debian pkgs changing the extension? Would it work?

Thanks a lot!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] XVilka:
No, we want to create only android repository of packages, based on opkg (ipkg)

for arm, mips and others platfofms.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xela92:
Veeeery good :)

Would you find a way to run X apps on Android?

If you are interested, with QtMoko the Openmoko's developers managed to get X over FB ;)

I think it could be a very great idea!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] XVilka:
See full-tested howto draft on this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=631818

Also i have many other things, which or not work correctly or have some problems during use. And i'm trying to work on this, or patching app or other way.

After ~5 days or later (i'm going to other place for a week) we can see an our full shared work.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bmfc187:
can we have the site so i can check it out? google translate should do the trick....

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] anisebal:
Re: Project:apk2

you are right that Google translator does the trick...

But If you go through that domain particular then it will be more benefited to you because if you do this then it will give you perfect result and after you can use Google translator..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] inportb:
(yeah, I know this is an epic bump... if you think I should make a new thread for this, I will do so)

Hey guys... are we still interested in this? I have built a statically-linked opkg for arm5tel (which works on G1 and other Android devices). It's 745KB, which could be smaller, but it's not bad for a statically-linked program. For android systems without wget, I have also built a version with cURL.

For more information, please see http://inportb.com/2010/10/17/debian-packages-on-android-phones/ ;p

How to make a package: http://inportb.com/2010/10/19/making-an-opkg-package/

How to make a repository: http://inportb.com/2010/10/19/package-management-with-opkg/

I think it'd be especially important to enable developers to publish apps with a common interface, since we're moving towards everyone and her dog (and their phone company) making a custom app store.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xela92:
OMG it's really cool!!!! :D

Thx man! Going to test it ASAP, maybe tonight!! :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] inportb:
Incidentally, in case y'all were wondering, here's a direct link to the downloads: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1213413/android-opkg/index.htm
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xela92:
Can u tell me where to find compatible opks? I tried some shr opk but gives errors for the arch, even if I use architecture compatible opks...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] inportb:
I'm not sure if it's a great idea to install packages for other platforms into Android -- even if the installation succeeded, it might just break something. Since few people have tried Opkg for Android, there are not many packages available; at this point, it's more of a developer tool for distributing your own stuff.

Now, about the architectures... type `opkg print-architecture` to see what architectures are currently set:

# opkg print-architecture
arch all 1
arch noarch 1
arch armv6l 10

You should create a /cache/etc/opkg/arch.conf file to set your architectures and priorities -- the format of the file is as above, and your arch.conf overrides the defaults.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xela92:
Then which architectures are supported by a g1? I'm getting a little confused... is the g1 processor an armv6l, or an armv5e? I found lots of people saying it is armv5, then I read from the settings it is an armv6: but do armv5-compiled apps run on an armv6 processor?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] inportb:
The G1 itself is armv6l, but it is backwards-compatible with armv5tel (the trailing 'l' means little-endian; big-endian is not supported). I am currently building these things on the armel port of Debian (using QEMU user emulation in a chroot), and that generates executables for armv5tel devices; it's easier than cross-compiling imo.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] :
If someone allready managed to compile opkg with shared libs in the NDK, let me know, I would be interessted.

To get inportbs version to run, you need a working wget. The one in my busybox couldnt handle the dns stuff. I compiled the shared libs version of this guy:

http://jacob.hoffman-andrews.com/android/wget/

There is also a ported version of libcurl and curl in the wild. I dont have the link at hand, but I found the Android.mk files.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] inportb:
... reviving this thread again because I now have a dynamically-linked Opkg, and build tools for anyone to make his/her own. Cross-compiling using the NDK works, but some packages require some persuasion!

If you're interested, please see https://github.com/jyio/botbrew
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xela92:
I've just downloaded the binary, seems to work. Nice work man!

Oh, I was forgetting: do you need some help to "cook" packages so they can install in android fs? I can help you :)

PS: VNC + app with gui may be equal to X11 apps on Linux? There's also XVNC on the market, that starts an X server on android :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] inportb:
Thanks for trying this :)

I think it would be nice to get a VNC service working, so that X11 clients could connect somewhere. There are a couple of problems that I think we need to solve before this platform could be viable:

set a filesystem hierarchy standard

build a foundation of basic *nix tools and libraries

make an app for this (i.e. an apk) for easy access

Currently, I'm installing everything to /system (so... /system/bin, /system/lib, /system/share). At some point, it might make sense to take advantage of Opkg's ability to install to alternative destinations such as /data and /sd-ext. The problem with that is two-fold: /data is not on the default $PATH, and the dynamic linker only looks for libraries in /system/lib. We'd definitely need a new linker, and perhaps a new shell, if we want to do this.

The CyanogenMod team has already gotten lots of basics working, so I'm thinking it might make sense to just package them up. For other stuff, we have agcc.bash that comes with the BotBrew toolkit.

And with an app, we'd have Cydia for Android ;)

If you're running Linux, you could try building using BotBrew. And if you manage to get other stuff built, I'd love to know how you did it so I could add it to the kit. I could not figure out how to get readline working for Python, but it works for Ruby (just install ruby, run irb, enter a few statements, and press up/down/left/right for rich history/editing features). I also could not get GnuPG working, and that's important for Opkg security.

So yeah, I'd appreciate the help :) I have not documented this totally, but please have a look at the existing stuff under the cookbook directory to see how this is done. recipe.mk directs the build process, and package/*.yml makes packages.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xela92:
Great! When I can I'll try to do all this stuff.

So which shell do you want to use? Bash?

First, we should decide about the shell, and how to implement this, then I can help you building the base apps, and so I can involve someone else...

So tell me :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] inportb:
For now, I think we should be minimally disruptive, i.e. use what CyanogenMod has already done (and yes, I see bash in there, along with a lot of other useful stuff). So we'd end up with a regular Android distro that's been modularized into packages. Then we could work on alternative packages that provide enhanced functionality without breaking compatibility. I think I could get Python et al. working with the CyanogenMod stuff.

For example, BotBrew's OpenSSL comes directly from openssl.org, and it's somewhat incompatible with the OpenSSL that comes with Android. So I could not make shared libraries of it without breaking things.

If you want, we could also chat about this in #inportb on irc.freenode.net; I usually hang out there as Pinako.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xela92:
I'll contact you in IRC asap, so...

Anyway, I thought we could even create a FS stored in a .img or something like this to mount whenever it should be used, so we can take parted the android os and the other things (without breaking stuff).

Or we can even recreate the dir tree in the data directory of the app that controls the pkgs... It could be another interesting idea... ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] inportb:
Well! It seems that it's not so simple to just package up CyanogenMod bits. I'll investigate further :rolleyes:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xela92:
Remember that with opkg we can use even preinst/postinst to do things that the cyanogenmod does with the update-script, like busybox links, etc... Why is packaging so difficult?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] inportb:
It's not difficult; it's just complicated. The libraries themselves could be pulled from any prebuilt image, but the headers (that let you use the libraries to make other programs) are quite disorganized.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xela92:
got it... I wish I could help...!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] inportb:
Nevertheless, I'll try. Meanwhile, are there any command line utilities that you want to see in the repo? I think it would be nice to have some of the basics.

Updates: I got sqlite3 and binutils working, and now I'm trying to build gcc ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xela92:
We can talk about it in IRC, if you want. Today I'm a little busy, but I'm logging in right now ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] inportb:
Ah, it seems that we might have missed each other! I've also been somewhat busy, but I did get gcc working, at least on my particular device (a Nook Color).

I also have a complete build of CyanogenMod 9 for my device, so I'll see if I could package that up.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xela92:
I can't test, sorry. I have 48 MB free in /system out of 250 MB (Galaxy S)... :/
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] inportb:
Yeah, gcc is a pretty beefy package, and I don't think most people would use/need it xD

I figured I'd do something to make our ideas a bit more accessible to other people. I don't have much experience with these things, but I'm learning!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xela92:
Ehi man, I lost this topic! Your work is just great!!!

Can we talk about this even in private? Send me a PM ;)

PS: how about porting the unix password system to android? Could be great for security! Imagine a Superuser app that let you set a password for root access! :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] inportb:
I think the next step is to port the toolchain so we could make/package things onboard the same way we currently cross-compile everything. This should give us python, perl, sudo, and other useful things.

Also: if you have access to Google Play, you now have another way to install this thing ;)

I Love Your Icons ....

A skin for slider icons should be a dream!!!:p
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ET:
+1

Notification icons, quicklink icons and slider icons in the same style...............me like;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] johnkst:
Jaguaralani's icons on the slider...!

These are really nice icons! I look forward to your next release... ;-}

While I was waiting, I decided to try to make a set of 'Slider Icons' using your original icons.

They took me quite a long time to make as there are no easy tools for this, but I managed to make a set 'by hand' which I am attaching to this post.

Unfortunately, as there was no icon for 'Stocks' (not really needed except on the Slider), I had to make my own. Also, as the 'Calendar' icon did not work as it was (HTC Sense automatically superimposes today's date over it on the Slider), I had to modify the existing icon to accomodate that. I hope you do not mind me taking liberties with your designs, Jaguaralani!

Disclaimers!:

These Slider icons are offered 'as is'! I have chosen which icons I think best fit the functionality. I am not offering a customisation service. If you like them, use them, if you don't, you can remove them.

The manila files installed via the cab are for Sense version 2.5.1920! I do not know if they work for 2.5.1921...! They almost certainly will not work for 2.5.1922!

Install the cab as you would for any other cab you download from this forum. Remove using the 'Remove programs' function under Settings. If any part of the previous sentence confuses you, do not install this cab!

Hope you like...

Note: I have now removed this cab as I made a new version with larger icons in a later post!
