maybe your "app freezing" problem can be fixed by changing the settings!

if you enter preferences and scroll down to "troubleshootings settings" the first option might be interesting for you!

"Adjust this setting if you have problems when restoring or freezing/defrosting apps.

But it did not help for my "uninstall"-Problem.

well... after tempering some more with those settings (i.e select the middle option) I was able to uninstall several APPs now without hanging up TBP... And before, it 100% allways hung.

So maybe thats the trick.
[Nook Color General] quarky42:
It still hangs on uninstall on my Droid Charge running Humble 5.0 (and any other Gingerbread ROM I have tried. I have tried various settings and no luck. I have reported problems to titanium backup and received absolutely zero response and have searched the web and haven't found anything that works yet.)

I wish I knew when I bought AND recommended Titanium Backup that the company was so haphazard about what they support and what they don't. I expect to get, at least, a reply acknowledging my concern. Juice Defender had problems for a long time, but at least those guys would respond even if it took them a long time to admit to finally admit their was a problem.
[Nook Color General] perryny:
I think I might've found the fix for this.

Seems like if I uninstall an app with the phone plugged in... all good.

If I'm running on battery, it hangs.

Every time I start the app, I get the warning:

Your system settings may cause problems. To correct this, go to "Applications" and tick "USB debugging" in "Development".

The USB debugging only takes place if your phone is plugged in. So I plugged the phone in, and it seems... no more hanging.

I didn't test this extensively, so I hope this is the fix for you.

Sounds pretty cool, I will defiantly have to give this a try. Question though, is this installing over top of the rom I am currently using. Example I am using the MIUI 1.22, if I install this is this like dual booting or will it just uninstall every time I reboot the phone??

[EVO 4G Android Development] Homefix:
How would one go about this "wep cracking thing"

please explain further
[EVO 4G Android Development] newsoundwave:
Almost* all WEP and some** WPA wireless passwords can be cracked. IMHO its easiest to do this on a Linux machine (please take note I love all OSs equally!)

*I forget how accurate this is but some WEP keys(like crazy long ones) can cause problems l in cracking, thus being protected (though not by design)

**most wpa specifications are not crackable yet and those that are often have a very stringent set of requirements (off the top of my head: most require someone to be legitimately connected to the access point and very simple passwords with low encryption.

On topic, though, this is sweet. Hope I can get something like this on my galaxy tab too! :D

EDIT: If you really need to know this (please only for testing... not to mooch people's internet) Google "wep cracking on backtrack"

The short simple answer is you sniff packets that the wireless access points send out and manipulate them to decrypt the key.

EDIT 2: I just realized you are also the guy who made this. Let me answer a few questions.

1) For audio you probably need to find a way to register the hardware with a Linux Audio Mixer. I'm guessing Ubuntu uses ALSA? I'd have to look that up

2) For users, kusers is part of the KDE desktop system. Ubuntu uses GNOME. People generally only use one or the other (unless they're trying to show off). That's probably why it either a) won't work or b) not work well and take up lots of extra space

3) It's Linux, not Lenux (but that's fine I can sense English isn't your first language... it's not mine either, but that's fine ^^)
[EVO 4G Android Development] laydros:
the download has a "zipx" extension.

I did a little googling and it looks like that is winzips new default compression method, and the only way to open the archive is with winzip, bitzipper, pkzip, or a couple of others. none of the compression utilities I typically use (7zip on Windows, unarchiver on mac) seem to support it.

Edit: sorry if I sound unappreciative, I just think its funny to use a proprietary closed format for distribution of software that is all about open software and formats. I'm currently trying to find something that will open this on the mac without being a scummy trial, or ill just do it on a pc.

People talking about cracking WEP and stuff, this probably doesn't have a driver to put the wireless card to put the card in monitor mode.
[EVO 4G Android Development] corybucher:
Have the same problems, did you happen to find anything to open it with? I searched a little on google myself but all I find is software that needs to be purchased.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cumanzor:
AFAIK, WEP can be easily cracked. WPA or WPA2 though, will require bruteforcing, there is no way around it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Homefix:
I will repackage it, but it might take 3-4 hrs to upload, sorry.

[EVO 4G Android Development] corybucher:
Never mind, downloaded a trial of winzip for mac and worked perfectly.
[EVO 4G Android Development] newsoundwave:
It definitely doesn't. I don't see why a phone wireless chip would have the ability to inject packets. Was more explaining the concept to the asked.
[EVO 4G Android Development] newsoundwave:
There have definitely a couple of WEP routers I couldn't crack, but they had some weird non-protocol conforming extra layer of protection on them.

Newer WPA cracking methods aren't so much brute force anymore.. yes it involves a decent amount of it, but newer exploits abuse inherent vulnerabilities to having a single password system.

To my knowledge a secure enterprise based wirless encryption has yet to be cracked (for example: one that requires user authentication that checks it against a properly salted and hashed database.)

Help with linux

First of all this is amazing thanks for the hard work.... but I have never used linux before but there is a windows program i want to install on my phone. Ive read how to do it on a pc using Wine.

This sounds awesome! I have a few errands to run, but when I get back later on I'm going to install this. I'm a big linux fan and have been running different distros for years. (started on Red Hat, then Gentoo [which is the best IMO], and now Xubuntu)

One suggestion that I have is doing this with Xubuntu instead of Ubuntu. GNOME is a memory intensive hog. Xubuntu comes with XFCE as default and is much faster and uses less memory. Of course, you can use the package manager to install XFCE (and uninstall GNOME) so this could be accomplished by any user...but it would probably run alot faster and efficiently on a phone with XFCE.

When I give this a shot, I'll be trying to install the XFCE window manager as well.

Thanks for the great tutorial!

Why crack wep? I've been in many situations where someone has forgotten their password for instance. It's also a blunt way to demonstrate to someone how weak their security is. Point being there are legitimate reasons.

That being said, I was under the impression that the wireless chip could at least be put into promiscuous mode. Yes, maybe not inject packets, but it's something.

Right on, either should work anyhow. Not to be an ass or anything, but is it possible that you could upload this compressed file in anything other than .zipx? .tar .bz2 .zip .rar or anything else would be fine...a lot of people who aren't running a variation of windows (including myself) are having issues decompressing this format.

It seems the 7-zip utilities are working on a solution for the problem, although when I extracted it, I got plenty of errors. I'm going to load up the files tomorrow and try it anyhow. The only other workaround seems to be installing wine (or using a windows distro) in order to extract it.

A simple solution would be compressing in .rar format. Although .tar.bz2 offers extremely high compression...(a.k.a. might take a bit to compress/extract but you'd save time uploading files)

If it's not possible, I understand. I've been following your other thread for a bit and might just give it a shot. (It sounds like fun and I'm very well versed in linux methods) Did you use the same method to create the image that you did in this thread?

[EVO 4G Android Development] mwielgosz:
Hello,

I'm currently creating a .tar.bz2 file of your images which I will upload for everyone in a bit. If that format is still too large, I will recompress it using the .tar.7z container. What this does is compress the original files into a .tar container then compress the .tar into a .bz2 or .7z container. All linux distributions have readers for these formats by default, so unless youre using windows to extract these, no one should run into issues. If someone is trying to do this on windows, there are utilities they can download for free which enables extraction of the files.

For now, if you are on linux and want to extract these files in the .zipx container, you need to install wine. This is a runtime environment for windows applications. Once wine is installed, download WinZip 15 and install it. Then you can open the .zipx file with WinZip on linux and extract wherever you please.

But like I said, I will be uploading a recompressed file with Homefix's Ubuntu package.

This is a very interesting project. I want to use your tutorial thread to make a bare bones essential; Xubuntu 10.04 version. It's definitely awesome to see linux running on our phones (yes android is a variant of linux but it's libraries among other things are completely different)

Actually, I'm having the same issues with this on cm7 nightly 21. When I get time, I'm going to see if I can find the culprit. Right now, I know its looping the "bootubuntu" script. Something goes wrong, it shuts down, and tries again.

[EVO 4G Android Development] mwielgosz:
I found the bug where the script loops infinitely causing Ubuntu to never launch. It's not a bug with the script necessarily, its with the kernel you're using. The kernel MUST be compiled with the 'ext2' module in order for the script to be able to mount the 'ubuntu.img' image.

Called in this line:

'mount -t ext2 /dev/block/loop1 /data/local/ubuntu'

The workaround I propose is to NOT install a custom kernel if you want to run Ubuntu. If you are using the Savaged-Zen kernels, the script will fail. The stock CM7 kernel does have the module compiled and it works fine. I am going to post on the Savaged-Zen forums and see if the devs will compile a build with it.

The infinite loop that the script initiates is caused by a line in the 'bootubuntu' script. At the end of the script, it calls to launch the 'bootubuntu' script again, which therefore makes the system launch the same script over and over and over. This also may be why it's impossible to shut down Ubuntu. Simply removing the line at the end of the script (or commenting it out with #) will fix this. To shutdown Ubuntu, go to the Terminal Emulator and type "exit" until you see the normal shell which is just #

There are many copies of these scripts floating around on different forums. They are for different phones or for different distributions of linux. A lot of the scripts are actually unnecessary (and some bash commands fail on every run regardless). Also, from what I can tell, the 'mountonly' , 'fsrw' , and 'unionfs' scripts are never actually used by the 'ubuntu.sh' script. They could be useful for someone having issues, if they need to remount the filesystems or something similar, but are largely unnecessary. One would really only need the scripts if they were debugging something and could be removed (both from the project and the script) safely.

However, there is an error in the file 'mountonly'

The lines:

'export kit=/sdcard/debian'

'mount -o loop,noatime $kit/debian.img $mnt'

Should be:

'export kit=/sdcard/ubuntu'

'mount -o loop,noatime $kit/ubuntu.img $mnt'

If you ran the script unchanged, it would be trying to mount '/sdcard/debian/debian.img' which obviously wouldn't exist in out system. Our image is in '/sdcard/ubuntu/ubuntu.img'

One other thing I added to the 'bootubuntu' script was to remount the '/system' as READ ONLY like it should be.

I have made these changes in the files and wrote documentation on my changes in them. They are posted below in a zip container. If you extract them and copy them to your '/sdcard/ubuntu' folder overwriting the old files, the changes will be included.

Feel free to take a look at them or modify them to your pleasing.

Wow, thank you so much! This is why I love this forum everyone is extreamly helpful!

I'll try it when I get the chance and report back!
[EVO 4G Android Development] mwielgosz:
Just a quick update:

The savaged-zen team confirmed that the ext2 and ext3 modules were accidentally left out of their builds. They will include them in their next version.

This means that you will not be able to run Ubuntu on your phone if you are running their kernel. This is confirmed on version 0.0.4, not sure about their older releases.

I would recommend sticking with the stock cm kernel until this is fixed if you plan on using Ubuntu.
