Hi,
Here is a "test" package for camera under android.
IMPORTANT : this thread will only deal with XDANDROID Rom. Cyanogen's mod or any else might not work if camera have not been enabled in userland (checkered camera screen).
Current working devices are :
-Diamond
-Rhodium
-Raphael
-Blackstone
-Topaz
This package allow camera to be used for picture but video will fail (bug fixed, will soon publish libs).
I need some people to test it (I've tested it but when you are working on something for a long time, you sometimes need external testers...because you know where it may bug and you don't really want that so you avoid those use cases...)
1/ MAKE A BACKUP of the system.ext2, rootfs.img and data.img files so that you can revert back to normal state if something goes wrong
2/ See intructions in the 22/01/2011 update.
3/ If you have a CMDA rhodium, add the following content to the startup.txt file :
Code:
board-htcrhodium.is_cdma=1
This is a quick hack to detect CDMA board till I make it as the other board do.
4/ Replace the kernel + modules with the ones provided in the latest update.
Any feedback is welcome. If you're experiencing problems, please attach a dmesg log and logcat log so that I can analyze them. If I don"t have those files, I probably won't be able to do anything to help you.
THIS THREAD IS FOR PEOPLE WHO KNOW HOW TO USE ANDROID AND ADB. Others, wait for the final release in the common tree.
Source tree : http://gitorious.org/~jbruneaux/linux-on-qualcomm-s-msm/linux-msm-home-work (lot of changes almost every days as used as a gateway between computers)
[23/02/2011] :
* New kernel for rhodium only. This is an attempt to fix the pink screen problem.
Link to the package : http://www.4shared.com/file/OMMJkB4Q/kernel_modules_02232011.html
[29/04/2011] :
* New libraries for camcorder to enable the hardware codecs for video recording.
These libraries will make camcorder use the hardware accelerated codecs for qualcomm hardware. That will make quite good quality videos (much more than the software codec actually used) and will also make sound recording work with video.
Link to the libraries : http://www.4shared.com/file/fLEiesLy/libomx_xdandroid.html
Please also patch your froyo.user.conf with those two lines :
Code:
mount --bind /sdcard/lib_camera/libOmxCore.so /system/lib/libOmxCore.so
mount --bind /sdcard/lib_camera/libmm-omxcore.so /system/lib/libmm-omxcore.so
Note that these libraries are to be used with the official xdandroid FROYO build (FRX05 or later) and the official kernel/modules.
Don't use the kernels / libraries (except the 29/04/2011 camcorder libs) from this thread, they are now included in the offical release.
Once again : if you have a crash or a bad behaviour, please make a dmesg log + logcat log ! I can't work without these files. Thanks
PLEASE, READ CAREFULLY BEFORE POSTING AND CHECK FOR ANSWERS IN THE POSTS !
IMPORTANT : If the camera does not work, first, try to find the solution by yourself in this thread, then send me dmesg log + logcat of the boot and camera start.
Thanks to bzo for its modified libGLES_qcom and its work on rhodium (working hard on camera). Thanks to everyone who helped me with testings and logs.
Awesome... I was hoping this would make its way out into the wild soon!
Hi,
before release, i wanted to make clocks working without rpc calls, that's why it took longer. Now, the code is "cleaner" and should work for any device (with small adjustments for amss and memories configuration).

Testing on Fuze.
Edit: Does not work, Haret freezes on boot..
i encounter this when playing around with angry bird.
Code:
msm_proc_comm_wince: DEX Code not match! a2m[0x8a], m2a[0x0], a2m_num[0x7b5], m2a_num[0x7b5]
whooooopieee! trying it out
Haret does not boot with included kernel...
test diam100:
tried this on a donut version. Camera aint working. hehehe. but it has green crash on it.
Great one. works great. the bad thing is, hardware buttons wont work after sleep on diam100. I don't know why. can anyone with diam100 comfirm on this?
everything copies successfully except gralloc.msm7k.so. The folder is unwriteable through ssh. Any suggestions for getting it moved?
it says it's a read-only file system. do I need to be in a different mode other than through adb in order to mount the file as rw?
Great! I hopefully it will work on TP2 also
This is GREAT NEWS! Yes I hope once things are ironed out it will be easy to run it on my Rhod400!
Try sudo command.
u need to mount -o remount,rw /system to make it writable
Amazing ! ^^ It works fine for me !

I don't know if it's related to my kernel. Can you send the full dmesg + logcat if you've got the problem again. Also, it might come from the modded libGLES_qcom.so. What device are you using ?
I'm currently modifying blackstone files. I will need someone to test it but he must be patient because it may fail a few times before it runs (memory layout is written in a more "tweakable" way, but it may need some adjustement.
Blackstone sensor is not the mt9t013 as in diamond but mt9p012. Anyway, liboemcamera.so seems to know this sensor and it should work. I'm also looking at the CDMA diamond to make it work with camera (mainly memory configuration to do).
Will try to put a package for theses devices before xmas.
im on blacstone.maybe i could help.i saw you modified gralloc that have dynamic memory allocation from standard pmem to 3D pmem.im using qcom library for OpenGL ES 1.1-CM GL_RENDERER Q3Dimension MSM7230 01.02.08 0 4.0.0.Im testing 3D library to get better fps

I've used libGLES_qcom from bzo, just some memory size stuff modded. For camera, right now, I don't care about fps, but I will care when camera will work for almost every devices. Winmo can use more than our 7 & 8 mb of gpu memories, so I think we can make linux to do the same.
-UPDATE-
Add support for Diamond CDMA, Raphael (all models) and blackstone. Need some (patient) testers.
See first post
cool upload the library i can help testing for blac100.Normal qcom library use MSM7500 OpenGL ES 1.0-CM same as in winmo.I could play HomeRun battle 3D smoothly using MSM7230 OpenGL ES 1.1-CM.maybe MSM7500 need opengl patch
Known Filemanager.
Most popular is sTune.
PSAS 1.5 with TFS Browser (Samsung Modem)
PSAS can create folder.
BUT folder can't be delete.
Write protected. So maybe this is 1 reason why not possible in sTune...
TkFileExplorer_2.2.exe
Seems Original leaked Samsung stuff, but extreme old... 2001 or something.
Not really tested yet by me.
Maybe someone saw newer Version TkFileExplorer?
PSAS will soon offer few more features.
In PSAS 1.5 SD card is included, so not use Backup to Zip...

stune hangs a lot
still searching for the best file manager!
it wud be really helpful if u cud provide the download links..............for all these managers

- Backup FS to Zip not work correctly
But you can create folders.
TkFileExplorer is attached. But not tested by me... maybe tooooo old.
Maybe someone could upload newer or complete TKTool.

You can use mini commander on the phone to access all the internal files of the phone. its a java version..
mini commander sounds interessting.
Thanx for hint.
I will download and try and post later result.

Edit.
Now tested, seems nice. But not what I thought...
Anyway. Thanx.
Try MyExplorer. Its a native Bada app.
Today I tried MyExplorer.

I'm working on a FileExplorer for Samsung Wave, you can read about it in the other bada section (which i'm not allowed to post in):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=958457
I had a good play with TkFileExplorer. It should be able to connect with the Wave, but I was not able to make a connection stick.
TkFileExplorer isn't very friendly in terms of how to set it up, but I was able to get it to at least try and connect to the phone. However it times out afterwhile, and you see there's a new drive letter P:. But it disappears from TkFileExplorer as soon as you click ok on the error message screen.
I tried connecting it in Kies mode and also usb debugging mode. Still not sure which one it's supposed to be set to. But I did find some posts for older Samsung phones where they connected in PC Studio mode.
I'm going to try again on another computer as I think the usb drivers and such might be conflicting.
It might help to know what the COM settings are that WaveBackup and sTune use to connect to the phone. I've been leaving all the settings at default but there might be some trickery that needs to occur.

Thanks man! you save me!
You're welcome! I just uploaded Version 1.0.10 to my homepage. It has an option to add files and folders to a 'blacklist' so that they won't be copied in file explorer operations anymore.
... Mortara hello I've been on your forum and I downloaded the application ... Unfortunately, the release is 1.0.9 ... where that next ... thanks by psycoy
Oh, sorry, you're right. Something must have gone wrong with the upload. I've fixed that now, so just download it again from my homepage (can't put external links here yet).
Version 1.0.12 of WaveBackup is up since a few days. I have done some smaller changes to stop annyoing owners of Wave II and 723 with that long error-message when connecting. Another change is that sizes of folders will be displayed now in explorer view, when the complete folder tree has been fetched. I've also fixed a few bugs.
Oh, and last but not least: Files can be copied now to the phone in explorer view (but still restricted to some special folders (<Appid>/Data for example)
I still can't post in the other bada board here, where the 'real' WaveBackup Thread can be found, so i hope everyone there sees this too!
@ All
I found a "new" version of TkFileExplorer - 2.4, it works fine with my Wave. TkFileExplorer is able to delete or rename folders and it is more stable than sTune.
UPDATE: Still working on a newer version of the webserver, but I've been distrcted by a number of other projects lately (including getting a new job). The most important news is that the Root Webserver works great with WP7 Root Tools; you don't need a full-unlocked ROM or HtcRoot compatibility anymore! Just mark the app as Trusted in the WP7 Root Tools policy pivot, and you're good to go.
Sorry for the long delay, I've been working on many different things. One of them is re-write of a substantial part of this app, to make it more modular and extensible and also to add more features. That re-write is far from done, any may end up being broken into a few smaller pieces once any of the new or re-written features reach release-quality without the whole app being unusably broken.
This project started out as a child of the HtcRoot project. It no longer requires HtcRoot; full-unlock or WP7 Root Tools work fine. It's also a child of the Functional Webserver / WebServer (Mango) projects, and builds on their open-source foundations. Its goal is to allow unfettered access to your phone through the convenience of a web browser.
Fifth release (v2.3.1)
Platform release, minor feature release, minor library update, bugfixes
Should now be compatible with fully unlocked custom ROMs, even if they can't use the HtcRoot project.
This release does not include NativeIO_Mango source, as it was not changed. If you need the source for this library, extract it from the 2.2.0 download.
Homebrew library (v1.6.3)
Better detection and reporting of exceptions due to not being root.
Should be safe to use the HtcRoot functionality on fully-unlocked ROMs.
Please see the changelog in the app for details and history
Note that this app requires a slight update to NativeIO_Mango from @fiinix's version. There were some bugs in the library that were making things difficult, so I fixed them. I also changed the return values of a couple functions (though the signatures are unchanged) to give the ability to return error codes from COM. Source code for both the managed Homebrew and COM NativeIO_Mango libraries is included, along with compiled binaries. Source code for the HtcUtility library can be downloaded from the HtcRoot proect.
Features:
View folder and ROM Module last-modified dates. (NEW 2.3.1)
File attribute info now presented better. (NEW 2.3.1)
Upload files anywhere. (2.2.0)
Create and delete directories anywhere. (2.2.0)
Delete writable files.
Add or Remove readonly attribute from files. (2.2.0)
See file size and attributes for any file.
Browse the entire filesystem.
Download any file (still not ROM modules, though).
Static HTML files in a "Content" folder for easier editing.
Easy link to browse (and add your own files) to Content folder (2.2.0)
All features of previous WebServer versions (IsoStore uploading, authentication, etc.)
Changelog
Bugfixes:
Fixed a case where setting file attributes or uploading a file would fail due to lacking permissions.
Fixed the potential for infinite loops on fully-unlocked ROMs compatibel with the HtcRoot project.
More effort to eliminate RootException / Error 1260.
Upcoming:
Access the registry as well as the filesystem.
Better access to installed application info and folders.
View, edit, move, and rename files.
Rename and move directories.
Server-side commands (process provxml, for example)?
Filesystem/Registry/Application search?
Known Bugs:
App may take several seconds to close; don't re-launch it immediately or weird things may happen.
Touching the screen while the app is in "root" mode appears to cause a crash, and posible resource leak.
Error 1260 (Least Privileged Chamber) may still occasionally appear on first access attempt or two... really wish I knew why.
Requirements:
Developer-unlocked phone (if you remove ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES it will work without root access, cutting off most of the filesystem).
For root access, you need *EITHER*
* A fully-unlocked ROM
* An interop-unlocked HTC phone with working HtcUtility driver
If your phone is compatible with the HtcRoot project, you're OK.
Thanks To:
Davux (original author of the "Functional Webserver" app)
Fiinix (Ported the NativeIO library and Webserver app to Mango)

Have fun!

I'm not by my HTC HD2 but anybody know if will this work on it under the B.t.t.F ROM?
Awesome work GDTD!
EDIT: Doesn't work on a HTC HD2 on B.t.t.F v2.1 @ 8107 (no SP1) I get the following error when trying to connect from my PC:
Code:

It is interop unlocked so I don't get the error.
NOOOO I AM CRYING !!! THIS IS WHAT I WANTED AND I CAN'T EVEN TRY IT !!
Kill me now ;_; sigh sob sigh
EDIT : good work and good luck
@voluptuary: If you can run the HtcUtilityTest app successfully (from the HtcRoot page) then yes, this will work.
On that thread, I have the following listed as compatible:
HD2 (BttF [XBmod-Yuki] v2 SP1)
That your ROM?
@Voluptuary:
To quote from the Known Bugs section:
First attempt to access the filesystem will often fail or take too long; hit refresh a couple times and it should work.
I don't know why it does this. I built in some delays and some automatic retries, and that improved things dramatically - it will *almost* always work on the first freresh attempt (or second click on the Filesystem link) now - but didn't eliminate the problem. I'm not sure what it is; on the test app the switch to SYSTEM token is effectively instant. Maybe it has to do with the number of threads or something?
Anyhow, give it another shot and it should work. I contemplated just putting in a 5-second auto-refresh on the error page...

Sorry, I should have read your post better. I hate when people do that to me in my threads, I should know better.
Anyways I got it working, kinda. It still gave the error at the top of the page but then it listed the directories anyways, then navigating to Windows always fails, just times out or stays loading forever. This is over Wifi, I guess it could be a latency problem but everything else on my network runs fine.
I install but it does nothing.It shows serial on usb, softwareloopback interface1,bcmsddhd1
I'm looking into ways to resolve the read error issue. Once it decides to work, I can leave the app running for hours (on USB power, idle detection disabled of course) and browse with no trouble, but when I first open the app it's ornery for a few minutes. Very weird (and annoying). I'm guessing it's due to a threading issue, which would technically be a bug in the HtcRoot library, but I'll need to explore more.
By the way, the Windows folder takes a moment to load (it's huge). It should work pretty reliably though (you can open it for reading without having root at all, actually) and it opens a lot faster on my version than it did on the earlier ones (StringBuilder + half as many FileSystem calls + eliminated one of the slowest calls).
@Ttblondey: Dude, it's a W E B S E R V E R app. It runs a web server on your phone. You browse it through a web browser. I literally don't know what else to tell you, except to go read the threads on the other web server apps.
New version uploaded!
This contains some bigfixes - in particular, the Error 1260 bug (failure to elevate to root before trying to access the filesystem) has been mitigated to the point where it shouldn't be a problem.
It also uses a new version of the Homebrew library, 1.6.0, which incorporates access to the HtcRoot project under the Homebrew.HtcRoot namespace. Previously, the HtcRoot project was tacked onto the webserver directly, which meant the Homebrew library was unaware of its existence.
Requirements and major features have not changes in this update. Source code is included.
Great work you are doing here man! Too bad i don't own a HTC
@Briefcase: Thanks! I wish I could support more phones. Heathcliff74 may be able to enable something for Samsung (gen1 at least) but he hasn't released a library for doing so yet.
FEATURE RELEASE 2.1.0 is out.
Major changes: File attributes information, file deletion.
You should talk with ROM chefs here to include read/write enabled HtcUtility in their roms because all recent ROMs unfortunately doesn't support your findings.
@Pr0xiMUS: That's a good point. This tool is potentially more powerful that TouchXplorer or Registry Editor from TouchXperience, but those are the primarily-targeted apps in custom ROMs.
I wonder if adding registry support will be as straighforward (and simultaneously frustrating, due to bugs) as filesystem support...
New version (2.2.0).
Some bugfixes, more file operations (uploading any file anywhere, adding and removing directories). Add your own files to the Content folder so you can serve them directly, if you want.
If anybody knows of a ready-made and Mango compatible registry COM library (that's open source, thanks a ton @schaps), this would save me some time. If not, I can either ports one from NoDo or write my own well enough.
I am not able to browse the File System getting the following error.
Exception while getting the listing for /!
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x8007001F): A device attached to the system is not functioning.
Using DFT V3 rom on Htc 7 Pro (Gold)
@Kr3i0s: Your ROM is not compatible with the HtcRoot project, due to it having a crippled HtcUtility driver. If the ROM is updatable, it might be possible to downgrade the HtcUtility driver using a custom CAB. Otherwise, you'll need to wait for (or switch to) a ROM that has a working HtcUtility driver.
EDIT: Actually, a fully-unlocked ROM can probably use this app even without HtcRoot compatibility. I'll modify the app so that it detects Error 31 and tries to fall back on whatever permissions it already has.

Smooth debian linux with and without GUI.
I am not linked in any way to this App or its developer. But I have been searching for an out of the box linux that works on the SGS3. Out of the several I tried this was the only functioning one,
called Linux Deploy (playstore link here).
Its installs a variety of debian distros by loop method and then chrooting in VNC (or SSH). ( i use bVNC)
- may sound complicated but the app does it all . just select what you want to try and how big you want the image file and where you want to place it (internal or external SD). default settings are fine for most except if Gnome and KDE will need increase image to 1.5Gb otherwise fails)
It also gives a variety of GUI, I tried XFCE and KDE
It runs on top of Android so you can still call and receive messages etc.
The only thing I would suggest is that you unmount the loop before killing app or rebooting android. I think it will remain running in memory even if the app is killed.
Linux Deploy 1.2.7
The new Linux Deploy version, programs for automation of installation process and start of GNU/Linux of distribution kits on devices with the Android platform is available. Application creates an image of a disk on a flash card, mounts it and sets there the selected distribution kit of GNU/Linux. Also distribution kit installation directly on the card section is supported.
Applications from new Linux-system are launched in a chroot-surrounding parallely with standard operation of the Android platform. Installation of a distribution kit is carried out on a network from official mirrors on the Internet. For operation to application privileges of the superuser (ROOT) are required. Access to Linux-system is carried out through SSH, VNC or X Window System. The code of the utility is available under the license GPLv3, ready assemblies are placed in the directory Google Play.
Characteristics:
Supported OS: Debian, Ubuntu;
Assembly under architecture of armel and armhf;
Installation type: loop-file, SD card;
Supported file system: ext2, ext4;
Management interface: SSH, VNC, X;
Possibility of use of surroundings of a desktop: XTerm, LXDE, Xfce, GNOME, Unity, KDE;

hi can i use it on a note2
Very nicely done.
This app works really great!
At the moment I am using "Ubuntu precise" with KDE. Ist works quite well. What do you use ?
I just installed Fedora 18 with Gnome on my Nexus 10 using this app.
I am having trouble to mount the USB flash drive to it ( using an OTG usb adapter)
I don;t know enough about linux to mount the USB drive
when I plug in the drive in android the path is
/storage/sdcard0/usbStorage
This application is awesome. Everything works perfectly. Well, not everything, but I guess that is chroot's fault. Anyway, can I somehow make digitizer work? I am successfully controlling my phone through x2x, although it would be merrier if I could use my phone's digitizer for input. I'd be grateful for any kind of help.
P.S. superdave42, try custom mounting that path in Linux Deploy's settings.

but 'I still have problems with postgresql 9.1
and the wifi
wireshark with no problem only with airmon-ng does not recognize the wifi
and tells me to install 'iw-3.10.tar.bz2
I downloaded the 'iw-3.10.tar.bz2
I tried to install it in every way possible but nothing some advice
thanks to all
sorry I'm wrong the page post
It's okay. You are posting in the right thread as there's no official thread for this application in the Applications section, or at least I am not aware of it. Anyway, as far as my knowledge reaches, the reason why you can't mess with WiFi in a chrooted Linux installation is mainly because it is running in a chroot jail (feel free to correct me if I am wrong). In order to make Kali Linux (or any other Linux distribution installed through this application) able to manage WiFi state, I think you need to do some mounts that I'm not aware of at the moment, unfortunately.
EDIT: Try typing this command line (credit to Robertozzz for this post, check out the rest of it too) either from adb shell with superuser permissions or by connection to the SSH client run by Linux Deploy:
Code:
mount -o bind /dev /data/local/mnt/dev
Tapatalk seriously needs some text formatting, otherwise I need to type BBCode myself... and an option to preview.
hello nice to see someone using this beautiful app as well! there should be an official thread for this..
I manage to use both vnc uaing bvnc as well and framebuffer method.. vnc got that slight lag especially when scrolling image dense content on chromium, but framebuffer is buttery smooth!
I'm thinking of upgrading this GTN 8000 (I got the same processor as you mate exynos 4 quad 1,4ghz 2gb ram) to something with snapdragon 600 or even better 800.
anyone here with snapdragon 600 got experience with Linux Deploy? how much boost might I get from those beast? :cyclops:
thanks
Android 4.3 Supported
Just an FYI for anyone using this app. It does work in Android 4.3 with Debian. Not sure if it XVNC or Framebuffer work (download of Gnome failed), but I was able to get a chroot and shell to Debian. Looks like the developer himself hosts the downloads for the supported distros (the "MIRROR" variable in prefs), and I'm not totally thrilled about that... Nothing personal, I just like to be careful.
But on that note, the code is Open Source, and available at:
https://github.com/meefik/linuxdeploy
You don't actually need the github download. All of the real work is done with a shell script(s). After installing the app, you can find the workhorse script linuxdeploy in "/data/local/linux/bin" and this handles almost everything. Some pretty nifty code in there, a couple of cool recursion tricks I might use later.
If you're handy with the command line, you can forego the UI after initial setup/distro download.
Code:
<android> % su -
<android> # export MNT_TARGET=/data/local/linux/mnt
<android> # cd /data/local/linux
...To see the settings file
<android> # cat etc/deply.conf
.... To start the distro you already downloaded (Debian)
<android> # bin/linuxdeploy start
... To get into the now-running distro (this can be done from multiple windows in Android Terminal!)
<android> # bin/linuxdeploy shell
.... If the prompt ain't enough, test it out (hostname isn't standard on Android)
debian # hostname
localhost
...
Now, I totally hate that it downloads everything piecemeal after selecting a distro, but it may be that I just have the settings wrong. Not all distros worked for me. I got failures on finding "apt-get" when installing Ubuntu -- probably easy to fix, but I didn't look into it because I was new to chroot. I notice that there are updates in the github from just 3 days ago, so it's actively supported.
I liked his competitor Complete Linux Installer better in Android 4.2, because it's super newb friendly and explains every single step very clearly, and it worked the first time I used it. Unfortunately it failed on my Nexus 7 (2013) / Android 4.3, so I moved to Linux Deploy. Not regretting the change because I've learned a lot, but I hope to see both options on Android 4.3 soon.

I'm having difficulties installing it on a Galaxy S4 I9500. Here's what I get as an output: /data/local/linux/bin/linuxdeploy: line 1411: dd: Permission denied I tried changing the size of the image, but that didn't help either. For what it's worth, I'm running a stock ROM as well as CWM. Also, I read somewhere that Busybox is required, so that's already installed. Could it be because I'm trying to install it on my external SD card, and not my internal memory?
Kali Linux working with "Linux Deploy" app on S4 i9505
I've found this interesting post about Kali Linux working with "Linux Deploy" app on S4 i9505
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2400638
Another suggestion I would like to make you is to consider some alternative remote session that would speed up the interface like for example:
- xrdp (much faster than vnc)
- teamviewer or Splashtop for easier access even from another computer/phone in another network. Splashtop video performance and real-time interface is really impressive
With Splashtop you can just have your own Linux PC and connect to it anytime. You could avoid to to install ARM Linux on your mobile...

First of all, awesome app! Takes a lot of the steps out of getting a desktop OS working on our portable computers....
I am asking this here because I dont know where else I can ask it. So if there is a support/discussion forum specifically for the app somewhere my apologies for posting here.
Is there any way to do an install from ISO image? Kali is giving me a "failed getting release" error at the moment no matter how I put the path in (cross checked it on the site, but welcome to suggestions if anyone elses is working).
Thanks in advance.
