How to build Android ndk sample using ant

2011-08-14T15:47:00.029+08:00

This is a walkthrough of how to build the hello-jni sample from Android ndk after you have installed sdk and ndk. You want to use ant instead of Eclipse for building sample project.

Suppose your install paths of sdk and ndk are
~/android-sdk-mac_x86 and ~/android-ndk-r5c

Setup PATH
export PATH=${PATH}:~/android-sdk-mac_x86/tools:~/android-ndk-r5c

ndk-build

cd ~/android-ndk-r5c/samples/hello-jni
ndk-build

list target (assume sdk installed)
android list target

update project with target 1
android update project -t 1 -p .

list avd (suppose AVD4G created during sdk installation)
android list avd

start emulator
emulator -avd AVD4G -scale 0.5 &

debug build
ant debug

install to emulator
ant install

use ant uninstall to remove

If you want to code-sign the binary, first create the build.properties and self-signing certificate and compile release

create build.properties


# location of the keystore. This is used by ant release
key.store= /my-path-to-mykey/my.keystore
key.alias=mykeystore

create self-signing certificate and compile release

keytool -genkey -v -keystore /my-path-to-mykey/my.keystore -alias mykeystore -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000
ant release

This is how to compile C++ program with stlport in ndk


cd ~/android-ndk-r5c/samples/test-libstdc++

modify jni/test-libstl.cpp to


#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
  cout << "hello, world\n";
  return 0;
}

create jni/Application.mk with


APP_STL := stlport_static

modify jni/Android.mk with


LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)

include $(CLEAR_VARS)
LOCAL_MODULE := test-libstl
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := test-libstl.cpp
LOCAL_LDLIBS    := -llog

include $(BUILD_EXECUTABLE)

include $(CLEAR_VARS) 
LOCAL_EXECUTABLE := test-libstl

run:
 ~/android-sdk-mac_x86/platform-tools/adb push libs/armeabi/$(LOCAL_MODULE) /data/local/bin/$(LOCAL_MODULE)
 ~/android-sdk-mac_x86/platform-tools/adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/bin/$(LOCAL_MODULE)
 ~/android-sdk-mac_x86/platform-tools/adb shell /data/local/bin/$(LOCAL_MODULE)

run with emulator


ndk-build clean && ndk-build
ndk-build run

For Windows, add this PATH in environment (path should not have spaces)
C:\Android\android-sdk\tools;C:\Android\apache-ant-1.8.2\bin;C:\Android\android-ndk-r6;

JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_29

and you need cygwin to start ndk-build

Binary strstr

2011-07-15T12:23:00.010+08:00

strstr is a Standard C function but it cannot handle '\0'. Here is the modified version to handle binary data. The bstrstr confronts to strstr and returns char*

bstrstr Select all: char *(bstrstr)(const char *s1, size_t l1, const char *s2, size_t l2) { /* find first occurrence of s2[] in s1[] for length l1*/ const char *ss1 = s1; const char *ss2 = s2; /* handle special case */ if (l1 == 0) return (NULL); if (l2 == 0) return ((char *)s1); /* match prefix */ for (; (s1 = bstrchr(s1, *s2, ss1-s1+l1)) != NULL && ss1-s1+l1!=0; ++s1) { /* match rest of prefix */ const char *sc1, *sc2; for (sc1 = s1, sc2 = s2; ;) if (++sc2 >= ss2+l2) return ((char *)s1); else if (*++sc1 != *sc2) break; } return (NULL); }

It needs a bstrchr function as well.

bstrchr Select all: char *(bstrchr) (const char *s, int c, size_t l) { /* find first occurrence of c in char s[] for length l*/ const char ch = c; /* handle special case */ if (l == 0) return (NULL); for (; *s != ch; ++s, --l) if (l == 0) return (NULL); return ((char*)s); }

here is the testing program

bstsrstr_test.c Select all: /* bstsrstr test */ #include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> #include <ctype.h> char *(bstrchr) (const char *s, int c, size_t l) { /* find first occurrence of c in char s[] for length l*/ const char ch = c; /* handle special case */ if (l == 0) return (NULL); for (; *s != ch; ++s, --l) if (l == 0) return (NULL); return ((char*)s); } char *(bstrstr)(const char *s1, size_t l1, const char *s2, size_t l2) { /* find first occurrence of s2[] in s1[] for length l1*/ const char *ss1 = s1; const char *ss2 = s2; /* handle special case */ if (l1 == 0) return (NULL); if (l2 == 0) return ((char *)s1); /* match prefix */ for (; (s1 = bstrchr(s1, *s2, ss1-s1+l1)) != NULL && ss1-s1+l1!=0; ++s1) { /* match rest of prefix */ const char *sc1, *sc2; for (sc1 = s1, sc2 = s2; ;) if (++sc2 >= ss2+l2) return ((char *)s1); else if (*++sc1 != *sc2) break; } return (NULL); } void printbstr(const char *s, size_t l) { for (; l!=0 ; --l) { printf("%c", isprint(*(s))?*(s):'.'); s++; } printf("\n"); } void test(const char *s1, size_t l1, const char *s2, size_t l2) { printf("\n"); printbstr(s1, l1); printf("locate "); printbstr(s2, l2); const char *r = bstrstr(s1,l1,s2,l2); if (!r) printf("not found\n"); else { printf("result "); printbstr(r, l1-(size_t)(r-s1)); } } int main () { char *s1 = "I\0am a\0manz"; size_t l1 = 11; printf("bstrstr test\n------\n"); printbstr(s1, l1); printf("locate \\%c:%s\n", '0', bstrchr(s1,'\0',l1)); printf("locate %c:%s\n", 'I', bstrchr(s1,'I',l1)); printf("locate %c:%s\n", 'a', bstrchr(s1,'a',l1)); printf("locate %c:%s\n", 'n', bstrchr(s1,'n',l1)); printf("locate %c:%s\n", 'i', bstrchr(s1,'i',l1)); printf("locate %c:%s\n", 'z', bstrchr(s1,'z',l1)); test(s1, l1, "a\0m", 3); test(s1, l1, "z", 1); test(s1, l1, "I", 1); test(s1, l1, "am a", 4); test(s1, l1, "anz", 3); test(s1, l1, "ax", 2); test(s1, l1, "\0x", 2); test(s1, l1, " x", 2); test(s1, l1, "\0a", 2); test(s1, l1, "a\0m", 3); test(s1, l1, "x", 1); test(s1, l1, "z", 1); return 0; }

How to install GIT repo in ZyXEL NSA-320

2011-06-29T12:43:00.012+08:00

ZyXEL NSA-320 is 1.2GHz NAS box with maximum of 2 x 2T harddisk (SATA I/II only)
The current firmware is 4.01 and is OK for the fun_plug

This box provides a very cheap alternative for the git repo plus your other storage need such as video, music download and backup as well.

You can gain telnet access following the instruction here : http://zyxel.nas-central.org/wiki/FFP-stick

and if you want to install GIT repo in this box, follow these steps.

(1) Follow the instruction here to gain telnet access, enable ssh server in the box, move the ffproot to harddisk and reboot your NAS box
http://zyxel.nas-central.org/wiki/FFP-stick

If you failed the installation, I suggest you to download this directly http://www.inreto.de/dns323/fun-plug/0.5/fun_plug.tgz and put the fun_plug.tgz in your USB stick rather than let it download during setup.

(2) install all packages (as you need most of them to build the git binary) from here
assume your server ipaddress is 192.168.0.10 and use ssh to access the NAS box


ssh root@192.168.0.10
mkdir -p /ffp/pkg
cd /ffp/pkg
rsync -av inreto.de::dns323/fun-plug/0.5/packages .
cd packages
funpkg -i *.tgz

(3) remove dns323 utilities which are not useful for NSA-320
funpkg -r dns323-utils-0.7.176-2.tgz

(4) install PERL & python

cd /ffp/pkg
wget http://www.inreto.de/dns323/fun-plug/0.5/extra-packages/perl/perl-5.10-2.tgz
wget http://www.plord.co.uk/funplug/0.5/python-2.6.4-1.tgz
funpkg -i python-2.6.4-1.tgz perl-5.10-2.tgz

(5) install the build environment

mkdir -p /i-data/md0/ffpbuildenv
cd /i-data/md0/ffpbuildenv
svn co svn://inreto.de/svn/dns323/funplug/trunk .

(6) modify the file chroot.sh to this

chroot.sh Select all: #!/ffp/bin/sh set -x CWD=$(pwd) ffp=$(readlink -f /ffp) root=/ffp-chroot if [ -d "$root" ]; then echo "$root exists" exit 1 fi mkdir -p $root cd $root mkdir -p ffp dev etc proc sys mnt i-data/md0 mount -t proc proc proc mount -t sysfs sysfs sys mount --bind /dev dev mount --bind /etc etc mount --bind $ffp ffp mount --bind /i-data/md0 i-data/md0 ln -s ffp/bin bin ln -s ffp/lib lib ln -s ffp/sbin sbin ln -s ffp usr ln -s i-data/md0/ffproot/home home chroot . $SHELL umount i-data/md0 umount ffp umount etc umount dev umount sys umount proc rm bin lib sbin usr home rmdir ffp dev etc proc sys i-data/md0 mnt rmdir i-data cd .. rmdir $root

(7) chroot to the build environment and get the git source and install it in NAS box


cd  /i-data/md0/ffpbuildenv
sh chroot.sh
cd  i-data/md0/ffpbuildenv/source
wget http://kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-1.7.6.tar.bz2
tar xjvf git-1.7.6.tar.bz2
cd git-1.7.6
./configure --prefix=/ffp
NO_NSEC=YesPlease make install

(8) after installation of git, exit the build environment


exit

(9) create git repo in the box (from your desktop)


ssh root@192.168.0.10 "mkdir -p /home/root/git/yourproject.git; cd /home/root/git/yourproject.git; git --bare init; touch git-daemon-export-ok"

(10) push your project to the git repo in the NAS box (from your desktop)


cd ~/yourprojectdir
git init
git add . # include everything below ./ in the first commit;
          # if you want to remove use git rm -r --cache xxx
git commit
git remote add origin ssh://root@192.168.0.10/home/root/git/yourproject.git
git push origin master

(11) If you don't want to build it. Just download this package and install it using funpkg -i git-1.7.6.tgz However, you still need to have some package dependencies like PERL & python in order to run.

How to install debian on Samsung Galaxy Tab

2010-12-05T08:41:00.016+08:00

Assume you have rooted the Samsung Galaxy Tab and want to install debian

The instruction of setting up debian in G1 is in saurik's site here http://www.saurik.com/id/10
But some of the information are outdated, as the rooting is very simple now and the busybox comes with one click z4root

z4root is here http://www.multiupload.com/EPKDWWLWD9

I like this method as the Debian system is installed in a standalone img file which can be copied to other Android phones.

(1) Download the Debain G1 image here
http://rapidshare.com/files/161776007/debian-armel-750.img.bz2

or here
http://www.multiupload.com/VUKS8LQ7EP

There is a ubuntu.img out there and is 2G in size (but trust me, running a graphical desktop via vnc is overkilling on mobile device). If you want shell access only, this debian.img is better.

(2) copy it to sdcard.
adb push debian-armel-750.img.bz2 /sdcard/

(3) su shell access to Tab


adb shell
su

(4) unzip the file in Tab. The image after unzip is 750M in size, so make sure you have enough space in sdcard.


cd /sdcard
busybox bunzip2 debian-armel-750.img.bz2
mv debian-armel-750.img debian.img

(5) setup mount and chroot

create and run this script in


cd /data/local
busybox vi startdeb.sh

startdeb.sh Select all: export kit=/sdcard export mnt=/data/local/mnt export TERM=linux export HOME=/root export PATH=$bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:$PATH busybox clear busybox mkdir -p $mnt busybox mount -o loop,noatime $kit/debian.img $mnt busybox mount -t devpts devpts $mnt/dev/pts busybox mount -t proc proc $mnt/proc busybox mount -t sysfs sysfs $mnt/sys busybox mkdir -p $mnt/mnt busybox mkdir -p $mnt/mnt/sdcard $mnt/mnt/system busybox mkdir -p $mnt/mnt/data $mnt/mnt/dev busybox mount -o bind /sdcard $mnt/mnt/sdcard busybox mount -o bind /system $mnt/mnt/system busybox mount -o bind /data $mnt/mnt/data busybox mount -o bind /dev $mnt/mnt/dev busybox mount -t tmpfs tmpfs $mnt/tmp -o noatime,mode=1777 busybox chroot $mnt /bin/bash #After exit command is executed clear it all up echo " " echo "Shutting down Debian........" umount $mnt/dev/pts umount $mnt/proc umount $mnt/sys umount $mnt/mnt/sdcard umount $mnt/mnt/system umount $mnt/mnt/data umount $mnt/mnt/dev umount $mnt/tmp umount $mnt

run the startdeb.sh script


sh startdeb.sh

# now Tab should be in Debian System

(6) do some fixing and change root password and install OpenSSH and start it


rm -f /etc/mtab
ln -s /proc/mounts /etc/mtab
passwd root
apt-get update
apt-get install debian-keyring debian-archive-keyring
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install openssh-server openssh-client
/etc/init.d/ssh start

(7) If the default package source does not work, you can change this file /etc/apt/sources.list to


deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian lenny main

(8) Then you can ssh to your Tab by using ssh root@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx after enable wifi in Tab, where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of Tab.

(9) If you want to change the DNS server say to Google Public DNS


echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" > /etc/resolv.conf
echo "nameserver 8.8.4.4" >> /etc/resolv.conf

MyWi Not Initialized! Reboot ?

2010-09-28T20:38:00.006+08:00

If you have installed the cracked version of MyWi and sometimes later you get the MyWi Not Initialized! message like below.

The easiest solution is here (do these steps in quick succession)

1. open miwi 1st time
2. when it asked to exit or reboot, click on exit 1st time
3. open mywi 2nd time
4. when it asked to exit or reboot, click on exit 2nd time
5. open mywi 3rd time
6. when it asked to exit or reboot, click on reboot

Once you have rebooted, now open mywi, and it should work.

Everytime you run into this problem, just repeat the steps above and it should work everytime .

Enjoy.

How to download / upload data to Google App Engine for localhost

2010-06-20T00:16:00.010+08:00

The appcfg.py --dump option is not working
with this error appcfg.py: error: no such option: --dump

Deprecated method (Code for Configuration) is used instead to upload_data / download_data to localhost app

Here is an example

(1) modify app.yaml and add this under handlers:

- url: /remote_api
 script: $PYTHON_LIB/google/appengine/ext/remote_api/handler.py
 login: admin

You have to restart the app after modifying app.yaml

(2) create this file : album_load.py


# album_loader.py
import datetime
from google.appengine.ext import db
from google.appengine.tools import bulkloader

class Album(db.Model):
    artist = db.StringProperty()
    title = db.StringProperty()
    publication_date = db.DateProperty()
    length_in_minutes = db.IntegerProperty()

class AlbumLoader(bulkloader.Loader):
    def __init__(self):
      bulkloader.Loader.__init__(self, 'Album',
        [('title', str),
        ('artist', str),
        ('publication_date',
        lambda x: datetime.datetime.strptime(x, '%m/%d/%Y').date()),
        ('length_in_minutes', int),
        ])

loaders = [AlbumLoader]

(3) prepare an upload file : album.csv


title1,artist1,1/1/2000,12
title2,artist2,1/1/2001,22
title3,artist3,1/1/2002,32

(3) Launch your app in localhost and upload using this command


appcfg.py upload_data --config_file=album_loader.py --application=yourappid --kind=Album --url=http://localhost:8080/remote_api --filename=album.csv

(4) check the table data in your Google App SDK console

(5) to download data create this file : album_exporter.py


# album_exporter.py
import datetime
from google.appengine.ext import db
from google.appengine.tools import bulkloader

class Album(db.Model):
    artist = db.StringProperty()
    title = db.StringProperty()
    publication_date = db.DateProperty()
    length_in_minutes = db.IntegerProperty()

class AlbumExporter(bulkloader.Exporter):
    def __init__(self):
      bulkloader.Exporter.__init__(self, 'Album',
        [('title', str, None),
        ('artist', str, None),
        ('publication_date', str, None),
        ('length_in_minutes', int, None),
        ])

exporters = [AlbumExporter]

(6) use this command to download data

appcfg.py download_data --config_file=album_exporter.py --application=yourappid --kind=Album --url=http://localhost:8080/remote_api --filename=albumout.csv

Snow Leopard Screenshots and Grab not working

2010-05-01T23:17:00.004+08:00

Recently, I have upgraded from 10.5.x to to 10.6.2 and then 10.6.3 and the Screenshots (Cmd Shit 3 / Cmd Shift 4) and Grab app are not function properly. That is no images are generated.

The solution is to reinstall the
Mac OS X 10.6.2 Update (Combo)
http://support.apple.com/downloads/DL959/en_US/MacOSXUpdCombo10.6.2.dmg
or
Mac OS X 10.6.3 Update (Combo)
http://support.apple.com/downloads/DL1017/en_US/MacOSXUpdCombo10.6.3v1.1.dmg

Then these problems will be fixed.

香港人支付寶增值方法

2010-01-07T12:26:00.012+08:00

虛擬商品 / 小數目的話

(1) 香港買張中移動神州行手機充值卡 (序列號/卡號為17位，充值密碼為18位的全國通用充值卡)
(2) 支付寶內選擇[消费卡]充值及[话费充值卡]
(3) 選擇[充值卡面值]50元/100元及填入 [充值卡号] (序列號/Serial Number) 及 [充值卡密码]

充值卡面值100元扣除服务费：5.00 元（费率：5%）

大數目的話

淘寶通過「支付寶」平台完成支付，
他們近年努力開拓香港業務。

目前支持香港、台灣、澳門地區通過Visa 3D驗證的Visa信用卡。
香港的部分，包括以下銀行：
BOCI(中銀香港)
Hang Seng(恆生銀行)
HSBC(香港匯豐銀行)
BEA(東亞銀行)
SCB(渣打銀行)
DBS(星展銀行)
ICBC(中國工商銀行亞洲)

服務費用及限額：
從2009年7月7日開始, 支付寶將收取3％的服務費（如發生退款，服務費按相同比例退還，但您需要承擔可能的資金損益，例如匯率波動、銀行收費等）。此服務費與VISA卡組織所確定的附加費用無關，是支付寶對用戶使用支付寶系統進行交易所收取的系統使用服務費。

溫馨提醒：
以下5種情況下不可以使用VISA付款：
1）淘寶以外的交易是不能使用外卡的
2）如運費是由賣家負責，請聯繫賣家在購買前把運費更改為“買家負責” 。
3）如使用了“合併付款”功能，visa暫時是不支持“合併付款” 。
4）虛擬商品是不能用VISA付款。
5）交易金額小於1元人民幣是不能使用外卡的。

Install git for Mac OS X Snow Leopard

2009-11-19T21:19:00.027+08:00



mkdir ~/src

cd ~/src/

curl -O http://kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-1.6.5.3.tar.bz2

tar -xjvf git-1.6.5.3.tar.bz2

cd git-1.6.5.3

./configure --prefix=/usr/local

make

sudo make install

git --version

This is how to create git-repo over ssh
suppose you have a project in ~/yourprojectdir
and the remote ssh server login is user@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
both client and server have git installed

Method 1



cd ~/yourprojectdir



git init



git add . # include everything below ./ in the first commit; 

          # if you want to remove use git rm -r --cache xxx



git commit



cd ..



git clone --bare ~/yourprojectdir yourproject.git



touch yourproject.git/git-daemon-export-ok

then copy the git directory to your ssh sever



scp -r yourproject.git user@xxx.xxx.xxx.xx:/Volumes/HD/git/

setup git repo in ssh server



ssh  user@xxx.xxx.xxx.xx "cd /Volumes/HD/git/yourproject.git; git --bare update-server-info; mv hooks/post-update.sample hooks/post-update"

check the location of remote git binary and the remote ssh login shell



ssh user@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx "which git-upload-pack"

ssh user@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx "echo \$PATH"

mine is /usr/local/bin/git-upload-pack

if the remote login shell does not include path of git, create ~/.bashrc in your remote ssh login shell



ssh user@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx "echo 'export PATH=\${PATH}:/usr/local/bin' > ~/.bashrc"

push to remote git repo



cd ~/yourprojectdir



git remote add origin ssh://user@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/Volumes/HD/git/yourproject.git



git push origin master

Method 2

Create git repo in remote server



ssh user@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx "mkdir -p /Volumes/HD/git/yourproject.git; cd /Volumes/HD/git/yourproject.git; git --bare init; touch git-daemon-export-ok"

Check the location of remote git binary and the remote ssh login shell as per Method 1

Commit project in your local and push to git repo



cd ~/yourprojectdir



git init



git add . # include everything below ./ in the first commit; 

          # if you want to remove use git rm -r --cache xxx



git commit



git remote add origin ssh://user@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/Volumes/HD/git/yourproject.git



git push origin master

Test git clone



cd ~

git clone ssh://user@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/Volumes/HD/git/yourproject.git working

cd working

git log

git checkout

How to Branch

[How-to] install Debian and openssh server in T-Mobile G1

2009-11-01T13:58:00.038+08:00

Assume you have installed CynogenMod and get busybox in it, you can install Debian system in G1 or other Android phone that has been rooted and have busybox in that custom ROM.

The instruction of setting up debian in G1 is in saurik's site here http://www.saurik.com/id/10
But some of the information are outdated, as the rooting is very simple now and the busybox comes with all custom cooked ROMs.

I like this method as the Debian system is installed in a standalone img file which can be copied to other Android phones.

(1) Download the Debain G1 image here
http://modmygphone.com/files/debian-G1.zip

or
http://rapidshare.com/files/161776007/debian-armel-750.img.bz2

unzip bz2 file with
bunzip2 debian-armel-750.img.bz2

(2) unzip it and copy the img file to sdcard. The image is 750M in size, so make sure you have enough space in sdcard.
adb push debian-armel-750.img /sdcard/kit/

(3) su shell access into G1


adb shell
su

(4) setup mount and chroot


export kit=/sdcard/kit
export mnt=/data/local/mnt
export TERM=linux
export HOME=/root
export PATH=$bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:$PATH

busybox clear

busybox mkdir -p $mnt

busybox mount -o loop,noatime $kit/debian-armel-750.img $mnt

busybox mount -t devpts devpts $mnt/dev/pts
busybox mount -t proc proc $mnt/proc
busybox mount -t sysfs sysfs $mnt/sys

busybox mkdir -p $mnt/mnt
busybox mkdir -p $mnt/mnt/sdcard $mnt/mnt/system
busybox mkdir -p $mnt/mnt/data $mnt/mnt/dev

busybox mount --bind /sdcard $mnt/mnt/sdcard
busybox mount --bind /system $mnt/mnt/system
busybox mount --bind /data $mnt/mnt/data
busybox mount --bind /dev $mnt/mnt/dev
busybox mount -t tmpfs tmpfs $mnt/tmp -o noatime,mode=1777


busybox chroot $mnt /bin/bash
# now G1 should be in Debian System

rm -f /etc/mtab
ln -s /proc/mounts /etc/mtab

(5) change root password and install OpenSSH and start it


passwd root

apt-get install debian-keyring debian-archive-keyring
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install openssh-server openssh-client
/etc/init.d/ssh start

(6) If the default package source does not work, you can change this file /etc/apt/sources.list to


deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian lenny main

(7) if you want to install gcc compiler


apt-get install build-essential

(8) exit the debian system
exit

(9) Before you proceed to copy the Debian system to the /system/sd, please consider to check the partition size of /system/sd first. If you want to manually increase the ext2 partition size, please follow this guide below. Please backup before re-partition as the process will wipe your sdcard data.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=534714

This how you can backup the /system/sd and sdcard


adb pull /system/sd/app app
adb pull /system/sd/app-private app-private
adb pull /system/sd/dalvik-cache dalvik-cache
adb pull /sdcard sdcard

and this is how you restore data after repartition the sdcard (remember this is when the phone is booted up and not in recovery mode


adb push app /system/sd/app
adb push app-private /system/sd/app-private
adb push dalvik-cache /system/sd/dalvik-cache
adb push sdcard /sdcard

(10) Reboot G1
reboot

(11) Copy the Debian system to /system/sd if you use CynogenMod ROM and have ext2 partition in the sdcard


cd /data/local/mnt
tar cf - . | (cd /system/sd/; tar xvf -)

(12) create the mount script as /system/sd/userinit.sh


export mnt=/system/sd

export TERM=linux
export HOME=/root

busybox mount -t devpts devpts $mnt/dev/pts
busybox mount -t proc proc $mnt/proc
busybox mount -t sysfs sysfs $mnt/sys

busybox mount --bind /sdcard $mnt/mnt/sdcard
busybox mount --bind /system $mnt/mnt/system
busybox mount --bind /data $mnt/mnt/data
busybox mount --bind /dev $mnt/mnt/dev

append this script if you want to start ssh server automatically
busybox chroot /system/sd /etc/init.d/ssh start

(12) Reboot G1
reboot

(13) Then you can ssh to your G1 by using ssh root@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx after enable wifi in G1, where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of G1.

This is how you chroot manually when you use adb shell access
chroot /system/sd /bin/bash

Fix SSH timeout for jailbreak iPhone

2009-07-19T17:28:00.004+08:00

Login iPhone and edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config and change the line

from

#ClientAliveInterval 0

to

ClientAliveInterval 60

According to man sshd_config, this line,

Sets a timeout interval in seconds after which if no data has been received from the client, sshd(8) will send a message through the encrypted channel to request a response from the client. The default is 0, indicating that these messages will not be sent to the client. This option applies to protocol version 2 only.

Don’t forget to restart sshd on the iPhone after you save the file.

How-to decrypt iPhone OS 3.0 beta filesystem

2009-04-15T16:34:00.017+08:00

The procedure is a step by step example for Mac to decrypt iPhone OS 3.0 beta2 (3G) iPhone1,2_3.0_7A259g_Restore.ipsw

(1) get the tools here

vfdecrypt http://rgov.org/files/vfdecrypt-mac.zip
or here http://code.google.com/p/iphone-elite/downloads/list

P.S. If you compile the vfdecrypt in Mac (sourre code here), you need to amend two things
(a) As Mac OS X does not have byteswap.h


#if HAVE_BYTESWAP_H
 #include <byteswap.h>
#else
#define bswap_16(value)  \
  ((((value) & 0xff) << 8) | ((value) >> 8))

#define bswap_32(value) \
  (((uint32_t)bswap_16((uint16_t)((value) & 0xffff)) << 16) | \
    (uint32_t)bswap_16((uint16_t)((value) >> 16)))

#define bswap_64(value) \
  (((uint64_t)bswap_32((uint32_t)((value) & 0xffffffff)) \
         << 32) | \
    (uint64_t)bswap_32((uint32_t)((value) >> 32)))
#endif

(b) change this line 357 to
while((c = getopt(argc, argv, "hvi::o::p:k::")) != -1){

xpwntool http://www.zdziarski.com/iphone-forensics/v2.x-Base/Xpwn/
or
img3decrypt http://code.google.com/p/img3decrypt/downloads/list

(2) compile genpass.c

get the source file here http://www.theiphonewiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=GenPass

or updated source here http://github.com/posixninja/genpass

First, download OpenSSL from here:
http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-0.9.8h.tar.gz
curl -O http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-0.9.8h.tar.gz

Untar it, and cd to the directory it is in, in Terminal. Then, type:

tar -xzvf openssl-0.9.8h.tar.gz
cd openssl-0.9.8h
./config && make

After that, rename the directory to "openssl" instead of "openssl(version)"


cd ..
mv openssl-0.9.8h openssl

As long as the "openssl" folder is in the directory you are building this in,
you should be able to now compile it with:

gcc genpass.c openssl/libcrypto.a -o genpass -I openssl/include/

(3) unzip the ram disk from firmware file

unzip iPhone1,2_3.0_7A259g_Restore.ipsw 018-4877-7.dmg

(4) decrypt ramdisk

./xpwntool 018-4877-7.dmg ramdisk.dmg -k 875CACE71C62CDA899D1C22C60466170 -iv DC4D3E13D9CB5F7CDC504DB6B5AB137D

(5) unzip root filesystem from ipsw file

unzip iPhone1,2_3.0_7A259g_Restore.ipsw 018-4872-6.dmg

(6) use genpass to get vfdecrypt key

./genpass s5l8900x ramdisk.dmg 018-4872-6.dmg

platform = , s5l8720x (for ipod2g), s5l8920x (for iphone3gs), s5l8922x (for
ipod3g), or s5l8930 (for ipad1g)

Platform is the applications processor (i.e. S5L8900X, S5L8720X, S5L8920X, S5L8922X, S5l8930) but in small caps
s5l8900x = iPhone, iPhone 3G and iPod Touch 1G
s5l8720x = iPod Touch 2G
s5l8920x = iPhone 3GS
s5l8922x = iPod Touch 3G
s5l8930 = A4 Processor used by iPad, iPhone 4, and iPod Touch 4G

(7) decrypt root filesystem

./vfdecrypt -i 018-4872-6.dmg -o beta2_3g_rootfs.dmg -k 59A86B5A4FCC76FCADE07FDDF72C72D36A6E105BC0C727F508F2B1313EB1B74D97CA8A81

How to decrypt iPhone IPA file

2009-02-10T09:31:00.007+08:00

Decrypted IPA
Please take note that you don't need this method to decrypt the IPA file, if you already have the decrypted one downloaded from the net. This method applies to the app that you have directly purchased from App Store and want to decrypt it in order to be useful for others.

One of the decrypt methods is to use a jailbreak iPhone and run the script (source from pr0x.org Forum) below in iPhone to create the decrypted ipa.

To use this method you must have installed the app from App Store in jailbreak iPhone plus the following packages from Cydia
com.ericasadun.utilities gdb gawk zip ldid odcctools

Use the following commands in iPhone to install, if you don't like to use Cydia.
apt-get install com.ericasadun.utilities gdb gawk zip ldid odcctools

To find out the app names that your iPhone have installed, run this command in iPhone
find /var/mobile/Applications/ -iname *.app

and use this command to generated the decrypted ipa e.g.
./DCrypt.sh "Monkey Ball"

DCrypt.sh Select all: #!/bin/sh # # DeCrypt - v1.1 (2008-10-21) # - v1.1 (2008-10-21) # FloydianSlip # # Heavily based on xcrack # # Many thanks to: # puy0, SaladFork, Flox, Flawless # echo "DeCrypt 1.1 (2008-10-21)" echo "FloydianSlip" echo if [ !

If you only want to manually get the decrypted binary for reverse engineering. Suppose the Application Executable is called AppExec and installed in /var/mobile/Applications. This is the script and using the gdb to dump the decrypted binary

Let's use a free app AdHoc Helper (by Erica Sadun) as example


otool -l `find /var/mobile/Applications -iname AdHoc` | grep cryptsize

output-> cryptsize 8192

# get the cryptsize say 8192

gdb `find /var/mobile/Applications -iname AdHoc`

(gdb) b *0x2000
Breakpoint 1 at 0x2000
(gdb) r
(gdb) x/20i 0x2000
(gdb) dump binary memory /var/root/dump.bin 0x2000 (0x2000+8192)
(gdb) kill
Kill the program being debugged? (y or n) y
(gdb) quit

cd /var/root/
cp `find /var/mobile/Applications -iname AdHoc` .

How to install iLife 09 on Mac OS X 10.5.5

2009-02-02T06:13:00.008+08:00

iLife 09 requires Mac OS X 10.5.6

If you want to install it in 10.5.5, you need to change the SystemVersion.plist

sudo vi /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist

and change this


 <key>ProductVersion</key>
 <string>10.5.5</string>


 <key>ProductVersion</key>
 <string>10.5.6</string>

You cannot change the SystemVersion.plist back after installation, as iPhoto 09 and iMovie 09 will check this when launch.

If you want iPhoto 09 to skip the check*, you need to use a hex editor
open and change this file
/Applications/iPhoto.app/Contents/MacOS/iPhoto
then find (do multiple finds) and replace 10.5.6 to 10.5.5 and save it

*this trick does not work on iMovie 09

How to install iWork 09 on Mac OS X 10.5.5

2009-01-29T15:57:00.014+08:00

iWork 09 requires Mac OS X 10.5.6, but I want to install it in my 10.5.5 machine and don't want to upgrade Mac OS

Here are the steps

(1) download iWork 09 Trial from Apple

(2) Use Disk Utility to convert the iWork09Trial.dmg into a read-write image file say iWork09.dmg

(3) Mount the newly created read-write image iWork09.dmg

(4) Use Terminal to enter the command

shell script: Select all: cd /Volumes/iWork\ \'09\ Trial\ Install\ DVD/Packages/iWork09Trial.mpkg/Contents/ vi iWorkTrial.dist

and change this


if (-1 == system.compareVersions(system.version.ProductVersion, '10.5.6'))


if (-1 == system.compareVersions(system.version.ProductVersion, '10.5.5'))

(5) Start the Installation from the mounted image

(6) After Installation completed

(7) Use Terminal to enter the command

shell script: Select all: sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.iWork09.Installer InstallMode -string 'Retail'

(8) Then start any iWork 09 application, it will ask you to register, click register later

(9) It will ask you three times after you close and then open any iWork 09 app, then the option of "never register" will appear. Proceed to click never register.

(10) In case you did not do step (7), it will ask you for the serial number, enter this
Y93U-HMME-3YRG-MOFO-MOFO-5S2

Enjoy.

PCI MZK-NAS01SG / MZK-NAS02SG modding

2008-12-30T18:16:00.010+08:00

This NAS comes with Linux OS and BT download / iTunes / UPnP DLNA AV Server and can be modified using the Dlink - DNS323 funplug packages

Objective of modding
(a) Add ssh server
(b) Add lighttpd (port 80), php & mysql
(c) change the web admin http page to port 81

Steps

(1) Upgrade NAS firmware 1.1.2

(2) Setup the BT Downloader and FTP / Samba server via the web admin of the NAS

(3) Use telnet to gain access
telnet 192.168.1.100 1192
ID: root
PASSWORD: password

(4) install funplug


cd /DataFolder
mkdir ffp
cd ffp
wget http://www.inreto.de/dns323/fun-plug/0.5/fun_plug.tgz
tar zxvf funplug.tgz
ln -sf /DataFolder/ffp /
export PATH=/ffp/bin:/ffp/sbin/:$PATH

(5) download funplug packages

cd /DataFolder/ffp
rsync -av inreto.de::dns323/fun-plug/0.5/packages .


(6) start ssh server

chmod 111 /ffp/var/lib/sshd
sh /ffp/start/sshd.sh start


(7) Install lighttpd, php and mysql

cd /DataFolder/ffp
mkdir -p packages
wget http://81.216.140.39/dns-323/mysql_and_php/mysql-5.1.28-rc-1.tgz
wget http://81.216.140.39/dns-323/mysql_and_php/php-5.2.6-mysql51-1.tgz
funpkg -i mysql-5.1.28-rc-1.tgz
funpkg -i php-5.2.6-mysql51-1.tgz
chmod u+x /ffp/start/mysqld.sh
/ffp/start/mysqld.sh restart
/ffp/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'
ln -s /ffp/var/mysql.sock /tmp/mysql.sock

vi /DataFolder/ffp/etc/lighttpd.conf
mkdir -p /DataFolder/ffp/etc/www/logs
mkdir -p /DataFolder/www/tmp
echo '<?php phpinfo(); ?>' > /DataFolder/www/index.php


when editing lighttpd.conf change these


server.document-root = "/DataFolder/www/"
server.upload-dirs = ( "/DataFolder/www/tmp" )
server.errorlog = "/DataFolder/ffp/etc/www/logs/error.log"
accesslog.filename = "/DataFolder/ffp/etc/www/logs/access.log"
server.port = 80


(8) Modify btdog (so that the modding will be effective even after NAS reboot)

mv /DataFolder/.bittorrent/bin/btdog /DataFolder/.bittorrent/bin/btdog_bak
vi /etc/protocols

and add this line to /etc/profile


export PATH=/ffp/bin:/ffp/sbin/:$PATH


cp /etc/profile /DataFolder/.bittorrent/bin/profile.bak 
vi /DataFolder/.bittorrent/bin/btdog

the content of btdog is

Install mysql in PowerPC Mac Mini and make php-mysql works

2008-11-16T18:52:00.015+08:00

The problem for mysql server in Mac OS X powerpc platform is that there is no binary build for package format (.dmg) for Leopard and the tar.gz binary does not work with the default php5 which uses the unix socket at /var/mysql/mysql.sock plus there is no LaunchDaemon plist. Either you have to change the etc/php.ini or build the mysql server from source.

This guide shows how to build from source

(1) Choose the mirror site and download the source tar.gz file
http://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/MySQL-5.1/mysql-5.1.29-rc.tar.gz/from/pick#mirrors

(2) untar and unzip it


tar -xzvf mysql-5.1.29-rc.tar.gz

(3) config, make and install (make sure you have Xcode installed already)


cd mysql-5.1.29-rc

scipt: Select all: CC=gcc CFLAGS="-O3 -fno-omit-frame-pointer" CXX=gcc CXXFLAGS="-O3 -fno-omit-frame-pointer \ -felide-constructors -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti" ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql \ --with-extra-charsets=complex --enable-thread-safe-client --enable-local-infile \ --enable-shared --with-unix-socket-path=/var/mysql/mysql.sock \ --with-mysqld-user=mysql

make
sudo make install

(4) create database


sudo chgrp -R mysql /usr/local/mysql
cd /usr/local/mysql
sudo ./bin/mysql_install_db --user=mysql
sudo chown -R mysql ./var

(5) create unix-socket directory


sudo mkdir -p /var/mysql
sudo chown -R mysql /var/mysql

(6) create LaunchDaemons in /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.mysql.mysqld.plist so that it can autostart

sudo vi /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.mysql.mysqld.plist

and put this in the file

com.mysql.mysqld.plist: Select all: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>KeepAlive</key> <true/> <key>Label</key> <string>com.mysql.mysqld</string> <key>Program</key> <string>/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe</string> <key>RunAtLoad</key> <true/> <key>UserName</key> <string>mysql</string> <key>WorkingDirectory</key> <string>/usr/local/mysql</string> </dict> </plist>

(7) start mysql server and restart apache server


sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.mysql.mysqld.plist
sudo apachectl restart

and if you want to manually stop the mysql server


sudo launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.mysql.mysqld.plist

(8) create path in ~/.bash_login

vi ~/.bash_login

and put this


export PATH="/usr/local/mysql/bin:$PATH"

run this


. ~/.bash_login

(9) create root password with mypassword
mysqladmin -u root password mypassword

(10) create databse in mysql


mysql -u root -p
> CREATE DATABASE database_name DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci;
> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON database_name.* TO username@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

[How-to] Install Ubuntu 8.1 in Virtual PC2007

2008-11-05T21:03:00.023+08:00

Install Ubuntu in Virtual PC 2007 may have screen display problem (similar to Fedora) and fail during installation.

Here are the steps to successfully install Ubuntu in VPC2007 and this is the easiest method (as there are many tricks to do it in the past) that I discovered.

(1) Setup the new Virtual Machine in VPC 2007 and mount the iso image (ubuntu-8-1.10-desktop-i386.iso).

Please check the size and MD5 Sum to ensure the iso image is successfully downloaded.

MD5 (ubuntu-8-1.10-desktop-i386.iso) = 24ea1163ea6c9f5dae77de8c49ee7c03
ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso 699M

(2) Inside the Ubuntu Install Screen, first Press "F4" and Select "Safe Graphics mode"

(3) Then press down arrow and highlight the menu "Install Ubuntu". (highlight only and don't press Enter)

(4) Press "F6" to bring up the "Other Options"
Then type "vesa vga=771" at the end of the option line
Then Press "Enter", the installation will start instantly.

Note: If you want other resolution, you can try say vga=791 instead of vga=771

I did not try all these, some of them might not work. The codes are listed out for reference only.


vga=769 means 600x480 8 bits color
vga=785 means 600x480 16 bits color
vga=786 means 600x480 24 bits color
vga=771 means 800x600 8 bits color
vga=788 means 800x600 16 bits color
vga=789 means 800x600 24 bits color
vga=773 means 1024x768 8 bits color
vga=791 means 1024x768 16 bits color
vga=792 means 1024x768 24 bits color

(5) After installation, it will prompt to restart. But the restart might not work and you have to manually reset the VM in VPC 2007 as in step (6) below

(6) Then release the mounted iso image and in VPC 2007 menu to reset the VM in VPC 2007, that is, VPC menu choose -> Action -> Reset

(7) Enjoy using Ubuntu in VPC 2007, and you can start installing other packages / sdks for development following my other guides in this blog

(8) To solve the sound problem, start the Terminal in Ubuntu and type

sudoedit /etc/rc.local

At the end of the # lines, but before “exit 0″, type on a new line (again without quotes) “modprobe snd-sb16″
Ctrl + O to write out, enter to accept the name, Ctrl + X to close.

Personal Installation Guide for Ubuntu 8.10 in VMWare for iPhone / Android SDK development

2008-11-03T16:07:00.072+08:00

(1) Download ubuntu-8-1.10-desktop-i386.iso (32 bit Intel i386 Desktop)
http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
MD5 (ubuntu-8-1.10-desktop-i386.iso) = 24ea1163ea6c9f5dae77de8c49ee7c03

Installation is very easy just mount the iso image in the VMWare, and everything goes default. then install VMWare tools. If network does not work try command "sudo dhclient"

If you want to install Ubuntu 8.10 in Virtual PC 2007
see this guide
http://tungchingkai.blogspot.com/2008/11/how-to-install-ubuntu-81-in-virtual.html

(2) VMWare Settings : Harddisk Size 8G, Ram 512MB

(3) Purpose : sdk development on iPhone / Android
Allows samba mount, ssh / scp access
apache2 server with php5 support for sqlite3 db

(4) Add root access for useraccount without password (this does not work, I don't know why, so you still need password)
Ubuntu default root disabled, so you can disable password input by editing etc/sudoers
sudo visudo
Add this line (e.g. sdkuser is the default user account)
sdkuser ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL

(5) install build essential packages so that you can compile llvm-gcc for iPhone toolchain SDK2.0



sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install build-essential bison flex

(6) install server packages so that you can have local webserver and ssh and samba server



sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-cli php5-common php5-cgi php5-sqlite openssh-server samba

Install php5-sqlite3
sudo apt-get install php-db php-pear
wget http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/p/php-sqlite3/php-sqlite3_0.5-1_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i php-sqlite3_0.5-1_i386.deb

(7) Create Project folder for smb mount (guest login ok) so that you can use windows / smb mount the virtual machine folder

(assume sdkuser is the default user account)



mkdir -p /home/sdkuser/Projects

chmod 777 /home/sdkuser/Projects



sudoedit /etc/samba/smb.conf

and add the followings at the end

smb.conf: Select all: [Projects] comment = Projects Folder Share writable = yes locking = no path = /home/sdkuser/Projects public = yes browseable = yes guest ok = yes create mask = 0666 directory mask = 0777

Note : you have to restart samba server to make the new configuration effective
sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart

Why to install apache2, php5 and php5-sqlite3 in Ubuntu ?

Because both iPhone and Andriod SDK use sqlite3 as database engine.
Webserver can be served for many purposes when testing including http get/post access and cydia repository as well.

[How-To] Android emulator

2008-09-29T16:37:00.005+08:00

(1) How to install emulator only (that is no JDK, Eclipse IDE or compiler)

(a) Download Android SDK from
http://code.google.com/android/download_list.html

The current version is
android-sdk-windows-1.0_r1.zip (windows)
android-sdk-linux_x86-1.0_r1.zip (linux)

unzip it and put the folder (android-sdk-windows-1.0_r1) to say under

Windows OS


D:\Android\

Linux / Mac OS X


~/Android/

(b) start the emulator in command windows (windows-R -> cmd) / (Linux/Mac OS X -> Terminal) for the first time to setup data directory

Windows OS


D:
cd D:\Android\android-sdk-windows-1.0_r1\tools
emulator -datadir D:\Android

Linux / Mac OS X


cd ~/Android/android-sdk-linux_x86-1.0_r1/tools
./emulator -datadir ~/Android

(2) How to create sdcard for emulator (e.g. 500M)
e.g. To create a sdcard image of 500M with filename sd500m.img

Windows OS


D:
cd D:\Android\android-sdk-windows-1.0_r1\tools
mksdcard -l SD500M 500M D:\Android\sd500m.img

Linux / Mac OS X


cd ~/Android/android-sdk-linux_x86-1.0_r1/tools
./mksdcard -l SD500M 500M ~/Android/sd500m.img

when starting the emulator and adding -sdcard option
Windows OS


D:
cd D:\Android\android-sdk-windows-1.0_r1\tools
emulator -sdcard D:\Android\sd500m.img  [.... other options]

Linux / Mac OS X


cd ~/Android/android-sdk-linux_x86-1.0_r1/tools
./emulator -sdcard ~/Android/sd500m.img  [.... other options]

(3) How to scale the emulator size when the emulator screen is out of view of your computer

when starting the emulator and adding -scale option (range from 0.1 to 3)

e.g. start the emulator with a scale of 0.5
Windows OS


D:
cd D:\Android\android-sdk-windows-1.0_r1\tools
emulator -scale 0.5 [.... other options]

Linux / Mac OS X


cd ~/Android/android-sdk-linux_x86-1.0_r1/tools
./emulator -scale 0.5 [.... other options]

(4) How to copy Musics and Pictures to the sdcard image for Android emulator

The sdcard image is a FAT32 image. You just double click the file in Mac OSX to mount it.
Inside it, create folders called Musics and Pictures and put your mp3 files and pictures as per screen dump below

(5) How to copy files to sdcard while the emulator is running or when you cannot mount it.

You can mount the sdcard image while the emulator is running, but sometimes you want to copy files to the sdcard in command line mode run this

Make Sure that the emulator is running
Windows OS


D:
cd D:\Android\android-sdk-windows-1.0_r1\tools
adb push mynotebookphoto.png sdcard/Pictures/

Linux / Mac OS X


cd ~/Android/android-sdk-linux_x86-1.0_r1/tools
./adb push mynotebookphoto.png sdcard/Pictures/

However, the emulator will need to restart so that it can acknowledge the new file. This is currently the limitation of the emulator

when copying back from emulator sdcard to local file
Windows OS


D:
cd D:\Android\android-sdk-windows-1.0_r1\tools
adb pull sdcard/Pictures/image01.jpg images01_fromsdcard.jpg

Linux / Mac OS X


cd ~/Android/android-sdk-linux_x86-1.0_r1/tools
./adb pull sdcard/Pictures/image01.jpg images01_fromsdcard.jpg

(6) How to get shell access to emulator
The emulator must be running, and run this
Windows OS


D:
cd D:\Android\android-sdk-windows-1.0_r1\tools
adb shell

Linux / Mac OS X


cd ~/Android/android-sdk-linux_x86-1.0_r1/tools
./adb shell

(7) How to add path of the emulator tools directory to Windows OS, so as no need to change directory to sdk directory
On Windows, right click on My Computer, and select Properties. Under the Advanced tab, hit the Environment Variables button, and in the dialog that comes up, double-click on Path under System Variables and add this to end of the text
Windows OS

(9) How to change wallpaper, add new icons to homescreen and move/delete icons.

At Home Screen, press Menu

+ Add -> for adding icons to home screen
Wallpaper -> to change wallpaper

You can flip the homescreen to left and right and add icons there

To delete the icon just click and hold the button and a trash will appear above the menu button then you can drag the icon to the trash and delete it

To move the icon, click and hold the icon and then drag to new position.

[How-to] Install Android SDK on Asus eeepc Linux

2008-09-27T23:50:00.021+08:00

Asus eeepc comes with xandros Debian Linux version but does not have development tools. This guide shows you how to setup the development tools for Android SDK.

Part (A) You need to add the debian package source and install the compiling tools and JDK from Sun in eee pc Linux

(1) Launch Terminal (Ctrl-Alt-T)

(2) edit the file/etc/apt/sources.list
sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list

and add this line to the end of the file "sources.list"
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ stable main

(3) Run these commands in Terminal to install building tools


sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install build-essential ant

(4) Download JDK from Sun
(Latest Release)
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp

The current version of JDK is
Java SE Development Kit 6u7
Download the Linux version and the file without rpm. That is

jdk-6u7-linux-i586.bin

(5) Run these commands in Terminal to install JDK


chmod +x jdk-6u7-linux-i586.bin
./jdk-6u7-linux-i586.bin

#then follow the install instructions and answer yes and then a directory jdk1.6.0_07 will be created

sudo mv jdk1.6.0_07 /usr/
cd /usr/bin
sudo ln -sf /usr/jdk1.6.0_07/bin/java
sudo ln -sf /usr/jdk1.6.0_07/bin/javac
sudo ln -sf /usr/jdk1.6.0_07/bin/jar

Part (B) Download and Install Android SDK

(1) Download the Android SDK
http://code.google.com/android/download.html

download the Linux version, the current version is
Linux (i386) android-sdk-linux_x86-1.0_r1.zip

(2) unzip and install the android SDK say to /usr/

unzip android-sdk-linux_x86-1.0_r1.zip
sudo mv android-sdk-linux_x86-1.0_r1 /usr/

(3) edit ~/.bash_profile
vi ~/.bash_profile
change
PATH=~/bin:"${PATH}"
to
PATH=~/bin:/usr/android-sdk-linux_x86-1.0_r1/tools:"${PATH}"

(4) Test run Android emulator

starting emulator in portrait mode will be out of view in eeepc, so we need to run it in landscape mode. Moreover the sound does not work.
To start the emuator for the first time, use these commands in Terminal

Assume, Android SDK is installed in /usr and android data will be kept at ~/androiddata


export PATH=${PATH}:/usr/android-sdk-linux_x86-1.0_r1/tools
mkdir -p ~/androiddata
emulator -datadir ~/androiddata -noaudio -skin HVGA-L

or, alternatively, if you have to run the emulator in portrait mode, you need to scale it say by 0.6


emulator -datadir ~/androiddata -noaudio -scale 0.6

Please be patient for the Emulator for the first time as it takes very long to create the data on first installation

Part (C) Test building HelloActivity from the sample code

(1) If you have installed the Andriod SDK and started the emulator for the first time, it is better to reboot the computer first and then start the emulator again.

(2) Create the Projects directory say
mkdir -p ~/Projects

(3) start emulator in Terminal
emulator -noaudio -skin HVGA-L &

(4) copy the HelloActivity from sample of SDK to Projects directory
cp -r /usr/android-sdk-linux_x86-1.0_r1/samples/HelloActivity ~/Projects/

(5) Use activityCreator to create the build file
activitycreator --out ~/Projects/HelloActivity com.example.android.helloactivity

(6) Build the HelloActivity project

cd ~/Projects/
ant

(7) Install the HelloActivity project to emulator

cd ~/Projects/
ant install

Remember, you must start the emulator before installing binary

(8) Then you can test the installed program HelloActivity in the emulator
To uninstall the program do this in Terminal

cd ~/Projects/
ant uninstall

If you need an integrated development environment, use Eclipse and install the plug-ins as described in the Android download site.

If you amend some codes in the Project and want to reinstall use


cd ~/Projects/
ant reinstall

For Mac OS X installation, just skip the Part (A) of this guide and follow similar procedure in other parts, as Mac OS X has these building tools / JDK already installed.

For other sample projects from SDK the activityCreate scripts are

cp -r /usr/android-sdk-linux_x86-1.0_r1/samples/LunarLander ~/Projects/
activitycreator --out ~/Projects/LunarLander com.example.android.lunarlander
cd ~/Projects/LunarLander
ant install

cp -r /usr/android-sdk-linux_x86-1.0_r1/samples/NotePad ~/Projects/
activitycreator --out ~/Projects/NotePad com.example.android.notepad
cd ~/Projects/NotePad
ant install

cp -r /usr/android-sdk-linux_x86-1.0_r1/samples/Snake ~/Projects/
activitycreator --out ~/Projects/Snake com.example.android.snake
cd ~/Projects/Snake
ant install

Enjoy.

How do you create an .ipa file?

2008-09-08T18:10:00.006+08:00

This is taken from discussion forum and I found it very useful

What you need:
1: An app
2: A patched MobileInstallation file installed on your iPhone or iPod Touch.
3: Lastly, you need to know that when I say "ProgName", substitute the name of the program you're working with
Getting the iTunesArtwork file
The iTunesArtwork file is simply a jpeg image with the extension taken off, and is included in application's install folder on your device for every app downloaded from the app store. This image is what appears in the Applications section of iTunes as the icon for the app, and is definitely nice to have -- if you don't have it, you get a generic, black icon that no one wants to see. If you have the iTunesArtwork file, skip all this and go down to the next red headline! Otherwise, read on:
1: Open iTunes on your computer and find your application in the iTunes Music Store. On the application's page, find the app icon at the top-left corner of the page and right-click it. Now choose "Copy iTunes Store URL". Your clipboard now contains something like this:
Code:
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=284962368&mt=8

2. run this script (which I created) in mac, eg ./getappicon.sh 284962368

Shell script: getappicon.shSelect all: #!/bin/sh url=`curl -s -L "http://ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id={$1}&mt=8" | gunzip | grep '100x100-75.jpg' | cut -f22 -d"\""` appname=`curl -s -L "http://ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id={$1}&mt=8" | gunzip | grep '100x100-75.jpg' | cut -f16 -d"\""` if [ "$appname" = "0" ] ; then appname=`curl -s -L "http://ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id={$1}&mt=8" | gunzip | grep '100x100-75.jpg' | cut -f18 -d"\""` fi echo ${appname} url100=${url} curl ${url100} > ${1}.jpg url512=`echo ${url100} | perl -pe 's/100/512/g'` curl ${url512} > ${1}_512.jpg

3: Then you will get two jpg files, 284962368_512.jpg & 284962368.jpg Rename the 512 jpeg to iTunesArtwork. You've just gotten your iTunesArtwork file.

Bundling the .IPA
1: Create a folder on your desktop called "working". Open that, and create another folder inside of it called "Payload". Case-sensitive.
2: Move your iTunesArtwork file into the "working" folder, and your .app into the Payload folder.
3: Mac and Linux users only: Open Terminal and run the following command:
Code:
chmod -R 775 ~/Desktop/working/Payload
4: Go into your ProgName.app folder within Payload (Mac users, right-click ProgName.app and choose Show Package Contents).
5 (For Mac users with Dev Tools installed ONLY): Double-click the Info.plist file. The Property List Editor will open and show a simple table. Click the last row of the table, then press the + button that appears to create a new row at the bottom. In the first new cell enter
Code:
SignerIdentity
and in the second new cell, enter
Code:
Apple iPhone OS Application Signing
Save this file.
5 (For Windows, Linux, and other Macs): Visit the following site: https://brokolice.drsny.net/iphone/plutil/ (You may have to Approve the security certificate -- don't worry, it's safe)
Browse for your Info.plist file, and press the "Convert" button. Save the resulting file to your computer. Windows users, open this file in WordPad. Mac and Linux users can use any text editor.
scroll to the bottom of the file and make a new line just before
Code:
</dict>
And paste the following in that spot:
Code:
<key>SignerIdentity</key>
<string>Apple iPhone OS Application Signing</string>
The end of the file should now look like this:
Code:
<key>SignerIdentity</key>
<string>Apple iPhone OS Application Signing</string>
</dict>
</plist>
Save the file (Make sure the name is Info.plist -- case sensitive!) and replace the Info.plist in ProgName.app with it.
6: Time to zip it up. Use your favorite method to zip the iTunesArtwork file and Payload folder together in one .zip file. Mac users can select both, right-click, and choose "Compress 2 Items". Windows users can select both, right-click, and choose "Add to Archive" (remember to select ZIP, not RAR if that option is available).
If you unzip the file, you should see this structure:
Code:

iTunesArtwork
+Payload
AppName.app
7: Rename the zip file to ProgName.ipa
8: All done! Congratulations!

What is needed to be an iPhone programmer (firmware 2.0 OS)

2008-05-14T16:48:00.008+08:00

Even if you are not a registered iPhone developer of Apple (US$99 program), you still can code and test your iPhone program in firmware 2.0

This is how:

(1) You need a machine running Mac OS X 10.5.2 with Intel CPU because you need to run iPhone SDK for the iPhone OS 2.0
there are several possibilities, e.g.
(a) you can get a Intel Mac with Mac OS X 10.5.2 (which I think is the easiest one and save a lot of troubles, thus you can put omore time in the learning of iPhone programming)
(b) Use the VMWare image (and use VMWare Workstation/Player for PC), read this, and install iPhone SDK in it. You need C2D Intel CPU and lots of RAM (2G) in your existing PC.
(c) Install OSX86 on PC (you must be a power user), read this forum on how http://www.hackint0sh.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=104

(2) Get the iPhone SDK from Apple which is free after registration with Apple.

(3) You need to read some books on Objective C and Foundation framework of Mac OS X, I think Oreilly has good source of books in this subject. This site also gives some tutorial exmaples on cocoa programming http://cocoadevcentral.com/

(4) Get a pwned iPhone with iPhone OS 2.0 firmware beta 3 (build 5A240d)
read this for the pwnage tools http://www.hackint0sh.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=146

(5) Read this Forum and use the Xcode template (open toolchain header) here to start some coding and testing on iPhone
http://www.hackint0sh.org/forum/showthread.php?t=38389

(6) get some project code (based on open toolchain) from the right menu of this blog to compile and test run on iPhone

(7) start coding your own idea in your own iPhone project.

Run Mac OS X Leopard on VMWare (Windows or Mac)

class-dump for iPhone SDK header file

2008-05-10T10:07:00.001+08:00

http://iphone.freecoder.org/classdump_en.html

with this wonderful tool, you don't need to worry about header files problem any more
e.g.
put the class-dump binary (Mac OS X) in your bin and do this


class-dump -H /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator2.0.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/UIKit.framework/UIKit

you will get the most updated header files in your current directory from the SDK

Two versions of Hello World (SDK headers vs Open Tool Chain headers)

2008-05-06T17:52:00.012+08:00

It is possible to use Open Tool Chain Header with the SDK and the iPhone OS 2.0 SDK headers, this example gives these two version to compare

iPhone OS 2.0 SDK headers version

Code: Select all: // // main.m // HelloSDK // #import <UIKit/UIKit.h> @interface MyView : UIView { } @end @implementation MyView - (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect { [[UIColor whiteColor] set]; [@"Hello SDK" drawInRect:CGRectMake(0, 100, 320, 50) withFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"Marker Felt" size:50] lineBreakMode:UILineBreakModeMiddleTruncation alignment:UITextAlignmentCenter]; } @end @interface HelloSDK2AppDelegate : NSObject { UIWindow *window; MyView *contentView; } @property (nonatomic, retain) UIWindow *window; @property (nonatomic, retain) MyView *contentView; @end @implementation HelloSDK2AppDelegate @synthesize window; @synthesize contentView; - (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application { // Create window self.window = [[[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]] autorelease]; // Set up content view self.contentView = [[[MyView alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] applicationFrame]] autorelease]; [window addSubview:contentView]; // Show window [window makeKeyAndVisible]; } - (void)dealloc { [contentView release]; [window release]; [super dealloc]; } @end int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { NSAutoreleasePool * pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init]; int retVal = UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, nil, @"HelloSDK2AppDelegate"); [pool release]; return retVal; }

iPhone1,1_2.0_5A258f_Restore.ipsw decrypt method

2008-05-05T22:02:00.021+08:00

Steps to decrypt the iPhone firmware 2.0 beta 4 (build 5A258f) and extract the files from ramdisk and rootfs
1. Decompress firmware (using unzip command)
2. Decrypt ramdisk (using dd command)
3. Extract rootfs decryption key (using strings command)
4. Decrypt rootfs (using vfdecrypt utility)
5. Extract important files (for Mac just double click the decrypted dmg file, for windows use PowerISO to open)

$ md5 iPhone1,1_2.0_5A258f_Restore.ipsw
MD5 (iPhone1,1_2.0_5A258f_Restore.ipsw) = f7a2937c32615545ba339c330356d9ad

Run these commands to get the ramdisk of iPhone firmware 2.0 beta 4 (build 5A258f)

$ unzip -o iPhone1,1_2.0_5A258f_Restore.ipsw 018-3587-8.dmg
$ echo `hexdump -s12 -n4 -e '"%d\n"' 018-3587-8.dmg ` / 32 | bc

The output is 610816 which will be used for the next command

strip off the first 32 bytes (0x20) and remove the trailing certificate information

$ dd if=018-3587-8.dmg of=018-3587-8.ramdisk.dmg bs=32 skip=1 count=610816 conv=sync

The baseband is in the following folder of the converted ramdisk (018-3587-8.ramdisk.dmg) mounted image
/Volumes/ramdisk/usr/local/standalone/firmware

Run these commands to get the decrypt key of iPhone firmware 2.0 beta 4 (build 5A258f)

$ unzip -o iPhone1,1_2.0_5A258f_Restore.ipsw 018-3587-8.dmg
$ strings 018-3587-8.dmg | egrep "^[0-9a-fA-F]{72}$"

The decrypt key is

198d6602ba2ad2d427adf7058045fff5f20d05846622c186cca3d423ad03b5bc3f43c61c

Run these commands to decrypt the rootfs of iPhone firmware 2.0 beta 4 (build 5A258f)

$ unzip -o iPhone1,1_2.0_5A258f_Restore.ipsw 018-3585-6.dmg

$ ./vfdecrypt -i 018-3585-6.dmg -o decrypted20b4.dmg -k 198d6602ba2ad2d427adf7058045fff5f20d05846622c186cca3d423ad03b5bc3f43c61c

For Mac OS, you need this (universal binary for PPC and Intel)
http://rapidshare.com/files/40981513/vfdecrypt.zip.html

For windows OS, you need these
http://rapidshare.com/files/41004473/vfdecrypt.exe.html
http://pecl4win.php.net/download.php/dll/061dae89b309a98382dedc04942bd8a2/libeay32.dll

Xcode workspace

2008-05-05T12:37:00.004+08:00

In order to use the Xcode workspace more efficiently, these are the additional guides as most of the times, a programmer will work on the text/code editor

(1) Use the View -> Zoom Editor in
when you select a source file e.g. main.m

(2) Use split button (grey square on the right) to create text/code editor window to create additional text/code editor view
when you are editing the source file

(3) Use pragma marks in your code, so that you can jump quickly to your code in the text/code editor window using the navigation bar
e.g.


#pragma mark -
#pragma mark PreferencesTable Datasource Methods
// MARK:
// TODO:
// FIXME:
// !!!:
// ???:

(4) Highlight the identifier and press "command+ double click" to jump definition

(5) use shortcut key "esc" for code completion

(6) View -> Text -> Wrap Lines

(7) Use code folding in text/code editor

Please goto Help -> Xcode workspace guide in Xcode environment for details on how to perform these functions
