Here are the steps I took to make OpenVPN work. You HAVE to be rooted to make this work.

1) I am going to assume you already know how to configure the firewall side and export a legitmate config.

2) I am running TnT 4.2.2 (great ROM IMHO)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=842004

3) I had to run Clemsyn's kernel to get the tunnel to nail up. I don't beleive the stock kernel or any of the TnT mods will fix that.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=895825

4) Download from market OpenVPN Installer AND OpenVPN Settings.

5) Run OpenVPN Installer first. I selected /system/xbin option on all screens.

6) Make a folder /sdcard/openvpn. Copy your vpnconfigname.ovpn and vpnconfig.p12 files into it.

7) Run OpenVPN Settings. I unselected "Load tun kernel module" option, the "Fix HTC Routes" and (optional) "Show Ads". I did not alter the "TUN module settings in any manner.

No guarantees, but this worked for me without any fiddling.

-D
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] cybermage1:
I'm not being so lucky - I installed Clemsyn's kernel and the same OpenVPN settings / key that I've installed on my Galaxy S so I know they're functional.

It connects and auth's, creates the TUN device, but shows "Connect to (myserver) as" and netcfg always shows:

tun0 DOWN 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0x00001090

It never brings up the tunnel IP on it.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] cybermage1:
Well I got it working.

I had to install BusyBox from the market - the "FileBox" versions apparently installed in my rom wouldn't do it.

Then I created /system/xbin/bb/route and /system/xbin/bb/ifconfig linked to the /system/xbin/... versions installed by BusyBox.

I even downloaded and installed the statically linked executable from https://github.com/fries/android-external-openvpn/downloads and thought that fixed it, but turned out the MD5 of that and the market one were identical.

*** EDIT ***

Actually the OpenVPN I installed WAS different from the Market and appears to be the actual fix for me. I must have checked the wrong file the first time with md5sum because I double checked the backup I copied to the desktop and it was definitely different.

As a general rule, task killers are ok to use as long as you understand the following things:

1. Never set your task killer program for auto kill and if you absolutely must auto kill something, never auto kill core processes, mail, messaging, DRM services, location services, or any other vital service for communication.

2. Make sure your task killer program is "meant" to run on your device. Make sure you look to make sure it's compatible with donut, eclair, or froyo... If you use Advance task killer (most popular one), there is a separate Advance task killer froyo version.

3. Task killers are meant to mass kill unwanted tasks from running so you don't have to manually go through and kill each one... they are not meant to optimize your phone... do not attempt to optimize your phone with a task killer

4. Task killers are not meant for the average android user. If you don't know what ADB, fastboot, acore process, build.prop, apk sdk, kernal flashing, bootloader, customer recovery or any other extremely simple acronyms or development activities (this is a beginner list) then that means you should not have a task killer on your android device.

Have you run through the tutorials and read all the documentation on developer.android.com? The "Dev Guide" and the "Resources" tabs are a good place to start, as is just reading through the javadocs for the API. If you're already a Java programmer, you know the code semantics already. It's just a question of understanding the Android concepts. Not to say that's trivial, but the foundation of the language is Java, which means knowing it gives you a head start.

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdelliott31:
I've read some about this through Google but no real concrete solutions that I found. I have 1.7, and thanksvto DJS, I uninstalled volboost from my text file and reflashed. The free version works great. The paid version does the download but no, installation. I did a clean dalvik cache, cleaned a few programs, email, Internet cache lol. I have 4 gb on the sd card and 1 gb on the internal card that is free.

I keep thinking there must be a file that is installed that I can run the free but not the paid.

Any suggestion?

Also as a secondary Q. Are most users moving available programs to sdcard instead of the internal?

Thanks.

Volboost

Sorry I can't be of much use re extra storage, but I was interested that you mentioned about removing the volboost hack. Does this help gameloft games? Which game on free version could you run? I am having no trouble with assassins creed, ashphalt and dungeon, but I am keen to try others like nova, modern combat or gangsters...

Thanks
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdelliott31:
Ok, I solved the problem. Since 1.7 has factory reset and I am expecting a 32gb sdcard from Kingston in the coming days, I chose this method. Asphalt, paid version this time installed and ran fine. No problem. I am assuming there was just files on the internal sdcard that kept the install from happening.

I was told from DJS, that possibly the volboost option was the culprit for gameloft games. At that time I couldn't even get the free version to install. Deleted this from the text file and reflashed. The free version finally installed and ran. Hope this helps.

If anyone has advice on moving apps2sd? I think I am going to do this as it seems logical and would save some internal spaces. I guess since they are both sdcards, its not that big of a deal, so memory (2gb vs. 32gb) would be the biggest factor.

Thanks.

[Droid X Themes and Apps] thelumberjack:
Hey xda, just a stupid noob with some questions.

I've rooted my Droid X with z4root a while ago, and I have the essentials (Clockwork recovery/ Titanium Backup/ etc.). I recently came across ROM manager and attempted theming, despite not being deodexed. Somehow it actually worked, and now I have a black notification bar and other UI enhancements, but is it a bad thing that this was accomplished without being deodexed?

Also, I've heard that gingerbread is coming to the X as well. With my root and theme, will I still be able to receive an OTA update (assuming it exists)? I haven't touched the bloatware, so only some UI bits have been changed. I can still restore from a point from before the theme, but would I need to unroot?

And lastly, assuming this update doesn't actually exist, I will end up downloading Liberty or something like it. I understand how to do it, but I'm not sure what will happen to all my contacts. What is the best way to back them up just in case?

Thanks in advance.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] SysAdmin-X:
Yes, you can apply a theme withouth deodexing, but best practice is to deodex as theming odexed files can lead to issues sometimes. Gingerbread MAY br coming to the DX. P3droid is working on a release, but I believe they are working on getting it rooted.

As far as going to liberty, just make a backup prior to loading the rom. And I recommend syncing your contacts to your google account. Loading liberty will wipe everything out, but when you sync your google account if your contacts are synced to ur google account, you can restore them easily

[Droid X Themes and Apps] PalmerCurling:
Make sure to always do backups between updates and rom changes. Having a fall back has saved my butt on many occasions.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] thelumberjack:
Yeah, I compulsively backup my phone. What's the best way to get rid of some of these unneeded backups? Just a manual delete from the SD? Or am I being an idiot and they don't take up much space?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] SysAdmin-X:
I connect my phone to my pc and put my phone into usb mass storage mode. Then I copy the backups to my pc and then delete them from my sdcard. While some backups may not be large, the more you load and have on the phone the larger the backups will be. Many small backups can add up over time...

android does not provide reverse DUN or PAN bluetooth access to other devices

I had another tablet that you could use an app that let you connect to other phones using the DUN capabilities.

I could connect my old nokia to the tablet and it really worked, but I couldn't do the same on my X10 nor my G1, I suspect the Gtab would be the same case(mainly for the lack of bluetooth profiles on the tab)

Since updating to the latest baseband, I haven't been able to get a signal indoors or outdoors, and it is a good reception area.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zdravkobg:
I hadnt really thought about a new phone since last week, just because i didnt need one, but now that I have lost my MyTouch 3g i need a new phone.

Im wondering if i should go out and buy the glacier from Tmobile this month at hopefully some discount, or wait a bit more. The thing is, i know there are 2x core coming out in the near future (may?) but i dont know if i can wait 3 months without a phone...

Or should I get another phone (TMOBILE ONLY GUYS) instead of the Mytouch 4G...ive looked at pretty much all their phones and i know people with some other android devices..and i dont want a physical qwerty or the touch sensitive bottom dock buttons... so i think i will be perfectly happy with a MyTouch 4G running CM7.

Any advice please? (and i want to keep this hopefully in the low 200$'s)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
I absolutely love this phone (with CM7) and I think this is the best phone I've ever had but, if I was in your position, I would not get it, or at least not right now.

You're right, dual-cores are coming out as early as this spring and this means that you either will get a phone with better tech for the same money (LG 2x, rumored HTC Pyramid, whatever else is rumored for T-mo) or you will be able to get MT4G a lot cheaper as many people (like myself) will start off-loading them to pick-up newer phones.

My advice: if you can wait couple of months - wait. If not - MT4G is the best phone on the market right now and you will not have any regrets with it. For what it's worth, 5 people on CM team own one and that is a good indicator of phone's quality and performance.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zdravkobg:
Thanks man, I cant really wait 3 months with a crappy nokia 2330 lol...so i guess ill just get the MT4G. And really, would the 2x core change THAT much more? at least in its first months of being released. The mt4g seems super fast already, so would i really need more? and I just found out that I can get it for 30$ from Tmobile so that seems like a great price. Thanks for the reply!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
Dual-cores are supposed to be more powerful and more efficient then current procs. No, we will not see THAT much improvement until it's implemented properly.

As I said, if you can't wait - get MT4G, especially for $30 ( I bet you can get on for free if you call loyalty department or go to Costco), you will love it.
