Set up a webserver with Busybox-non-root on Android - Other Operating Systems and Languages

I have found a simple bash commandline script that acts like a CGI-CLI webserver. It should also be possible to use this webscript in Busybox-non-root apk in Android (version 2.3.6+) I guess. IMHO, this is the only way to get a simple free CGI-CLI web-server. But this web-script-server receives/sends its data from/to inetd.
1st question: How to connect the Internet dataflow on Android to the CGI-CLI webserver?
At this moment I use bootstrapped Linux Debian Squeeze (via free Linux Deploy) with Apache, but this procedure will be too difficult for the common end-user that I am developing a web-app for.*
Probably this might be interesting for more people who want to develop/explore webservices on Android with simple means, ie e.g. CLI-scripts-based, instead of "overkill" (commercial) app based.
Thank you very much in advance,
Benny

Lets Do it (Ubuntu)

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=718952
gona have a go at this later but i would prefer to do it with 10.04
It works on the streak
Just trying to get keyboard input working now
Bahh i cant post pictures.
i got it to work but then was pissing arround with 10.04 and broke it now i cant get it working again lol
would love to do this it would be the perfect phone/desktop like when you get home you drop it in the dock and it out to a monitor with ubuntu then when you dissconnect it it would switch to android cant wait to get my hands on this and do a little output to monitor
Going to have a go now will post how it goes
check out the ubuntu karmic rootfilesystem I put together for the htc hd2. can be found on my thread (see signature)
anyone had a go at this?
i have downloaded his filesystem but i dont know how id get it to boot?
Follow the YouTude video, I did it earlier and it worked a charm.
Have fun.
i mean the hd2 image ... i did the nexus one way easily....
i started the thread lol and did it...
only takes 5 mins but the hd2 one has much more funtionality...
Oh! Doh! LOL
No, sorry about that chap.
Sorry to have to ask this but........
What will this give me over the standard browser or something like logmein?
fully functional linux
desktop browser
desktop programs
and unlike log me in you dont need a computer on somewhere else and it doesnt rely on an internet connection
I'm working on a new version of Ubuntu for hd2. If there is any interest in trying it on the streak and people are ready to do some tests for me I will be able to meet the necessary modifications for networking etc to work.

I don't do chroots. What you see in the video is the real deal. Complete stock ubuntu 10.10.
We might run into trouble though with the lack of kernel source code fro the streak.
Can somebody run
zcat /proc/config.gz > streak-config.txt

and pastebin the (possibly) resulting streak-config.txt file ?
It should hold the kernel configuration for the streak. It is important to have some options available.
Possible problems are: You don't have zcat. Then you can do
adb pull /proc/config.gz

and just upload that file
If dell kernel hackers didn't enable some kernel option the file might not be present.
edit: without the full kernel sources I will never be able to make it work as flawlessly as it does on the hd2. if you want to take action visit this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8011812
write a mail to dell. tell them you want a fully copy of the ship and update kernel source code. if they ignore you report it to
https://lists.gpl-violations.org/mailman/listinfo/legal
didn't have zcat, it was included with the market install of busybox though... anyways, here you go!
*running the 8105 2.1 build*
Nice, thanks! It has everything that is needed to boot the way I boot it on the hd2.
If I upload a kernel, initrd and cmdline, can somebody create blob.fastboot from it ?

That's great.
I am interested in running Maemo/MeeGo on Streak, but for first experiments I have chosen Ubuntu, which I am familiar with.
I wasn't able to build android-msm-2.6.32 kernel for Streak and I even started an action to convince Dell to release the sources: http://android.modaco.com/content/d...ell-to-release-kernel-source-call-for-action/
Later I managed to find a way of creating boot.img for Streak: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7959574&postcount=6
and I was able to chroot a rootstrap of Ubuntu on my MMC.
Now I am working on porting Ubuntu standard initrd to Streak boot.img
Using default android kernel as Dell haven't released the source yet.
We may join forces, as I am very new to Android hardware (but not to Linux itself).

Compile X10/x10 mini kernel

Excellent initiative, I could write a short howto for Arch Linux later.
But one thing though, it might be a good idea to mention in the first post that you can't actually boot a custom kernel yet.

Your thread is excellent but I'd guess that this thread would be more oriented towards "hand-holding", really basic guides. Your topic was very broad requiring going to the android developers site and reading their docs on cross-compilation. Gathering that info into easier guides could be beneficial, if not to demystify the process.
As it stands right now just compiling modules seems almost insurmountable. But if the information needed could be condensed into simple guides it could show that while it takes considerable time and effort it's not an impossible task even for developers not familiar with cross-compiling kernels.
And information information on setting up cross-compilers for Win, Mac and popular Linux distros is nice to have available in an easy to find topic anyway.
IMHO, the easiest way to make modules would be a virtualbox image already set up with arm gcc, kernel sources and X10 kernel config. It's a long process to set everything up; virtualbox makes this easier and cross platform.

Hi zdzihu,
I managed somehow install arm gcc on my Ubuntu. Now it's time for the tools.
So i would like to ask what config should i use arm v4? V5?
I am so tired with this linux things, but finally at least the demo busybox compiled well
So i tried to compile with arm-v5te config but for flash read (which is normaly working) it says
Code:
# ./dump_image system /sdcard/tt.bin
error reading system: Inappropriate ioctl for device
My task it not to run flash tools available, but my own, to compile all myself, to try to do the trick with the CPU to accept kernel, that i compiled.
Thanks.

Are you using that tool to build the toolchain? In that case it might not have the option to build for that arch. The best way to make sure you get the correct one is to build it manually from scratch.

Looks like there is no other tut to build the toolchain. I searched days and nights to find something working.
I even compiled bysybox with it and it works on my x10!
But i found some sources of flash backup, called nandtools, compiled them well, no errors but the exec files are 4x bigger than the precompiled ones... And it makes the IOControl error..
the NDK won't compile, it requires Makefile or Android.mk and those are real headache to learn.
The Makefile from the archive is not compatible with NDK's make system and so on...
And so 2 weeks..
Pufff.. I am so tired if just linux things
Any hand?
Hi there, ARM is backward compatibile so compiled for v5 should run just fine. Problem must be somewhere else... I'm at work at the moment so I can't help much
By the way, there was some kind of dedicated flash tool posted already HERE, maybe you could check with jerpelea for re-upload?

You see, i need to compile mine, i have enough tools here already working, but my task is to compile my own and that's why i need a toolchain.
NDK is ok for the kernel, i compiled it already. But the native applications are not supported fully. Like write is deprecated and you can't use this function, and lot other limitations. So independent toolchain would help.
That's the point.

[Q] Looking for a dev to teach me

hey everyone, I've been with android since release on the g1 and have followed it since. but now I'm tired of being just a user and want to learn how to develope roms. I would rather have some one teach me first hand, but links to some places that helped you would be great too. So again, Im looking for a dev who would want to teach me, if some money is wanted, that's fine. thanks for reading. reply here and/or PM me. I am very serious about learning, I dont just want little tips/tricks or pointers.
Edit: I have a bit of skill in C++ and Java, but nothing too significant. I lost interest in writing programs, same with apps, no interest, everything has been done over and over again.
I have created a site specifically just for this. I have a link in the signature but feel free to just click here @green rom project

Some sort of a guide to developing roms. even porting. not an "all in one" guide. thats unrealistic and would most likely suck, seeing as its such a broad subject.
that site, is... i dont even know. not to insult you, but i found it to be useless. the single guide you have on there is for setting up the htc kitchen, which i figured out in 5 minutes on my own. I would suggest making a "Guides" section of that site, so it isnt JUST forums, and adding, well, GUIDES. you pointed me there to help me, but there was nothing on the forums even close to helping me.
What os are you running? Have you succesfully compiled the source yet either aosp or cm?
CyanogenMod's github is a great place to learn repo the source. Read the commits @ github.com/cyanogenmod all commits are commented to make reading changes easier.
Aosp is also on [email protected] github.com/android building aosp can be more tricky.
Cm is aosp with many custom packages included to see what is and isn't aosp [email protected] github.com/CyanogenMod/android
default.xml contains references to what packages are cyanogen and what is aosp
Either way you need to start by getting very familiar with
github.com/CyanogenMod/android_vendor_cyanogenmod
Look in the products folder at the .mk files
and how they are invoked by core/Makefile in
github.com/CyanogenMod/android_build
Also pay attention to build/envsetup.sh

your last post was quite helpful. Barely anything at all.
best bet start by getting the source to compile... sounds simple but can be tricky
most importantly get to know ~/android/system/build
you can't produce a custom rom without understanding when and how everything is compiled

"Dont forget to hit the thanks button if i helped you"
I'm new to the Dev world myself... I've done a lot of reading and research and I've gotten to the point of building and modding Roms to contribute to the community here. I've only done rom's for the Eris, which isn't as complex as some of the other devices, but I'm willing to share my knowledge if you need it.
The basics you will need:
1. Linux (I've tried doing this in windows, not worth the hassle!), either ubuntu or linux mint work well (Mint is a windows "like" os, so it might be easier to start with that).
2. Android SDK Kit (You can google it)
3. APK Manager (If you need to decompile APK's to make changes, this tool makes things a lot easier!)
4. Android Kitchen (A must if you are porting and to keep your Rom's cleaned up!)
5. A working understanding of XML and some java code is extremely helpful!
6. Time and Commitment! Devving, by any standard, is a time consuming process! You can easily make a Rom, but keeping the masses happy requires updates to nightly sources and time to rebuild what you've started!
I've spent so much time updating, compiling, modding and theming that my family voices plenty of complaints! But, the reward of building something that works and seeing others benefit from your creation is well worth the effort! Balancing your time, if you have a family to consider, is key to succeeding with this!
If you'd like more help, send me a PM! I'll work with you as much as I can!
I setup the kitchen, as i previously said, but didnt find any use for it except maybe adding minor features to a completely stock rom. i have linux set up with the SDK. i just dont know where to go from there...even compiling from source

Sent you a PM back, bro.
Having Linux, SDK and the Kitchen setup gets you about 75% of the way there!
The basic steps to compiling from source run through the Terminal in Linux. You will need to pull in the CM repository (the link jbirdvegas posted will give the instructions to do that). Once the repository is setup, you will need to load the proprietary files for the device you're building for in order to sync the correct source. (repo sync -j16 will sync the source and build your folders for compiling). You will need to plug in your phone through USB and extract the proprietaries through ADB. Example, my build location in Linux is "android/system" in that folder there will be a device folder with folders for each device brand and build. My eris is listed in CM as desirec, so my drive folder location is "android/system/devices/htc/desirec". In order to pull my proprietary files, I would have to do the following:
1. In terminal; "cd android/system/devices/htc/desirec" (This puts me in the correct build folder)
2. su (puts terminal in root) - type in password
3. "./adb kill-server" (shuts down adb)
4. "./adb start-server" (starts adb)
5. "exit" (puts you back in standard terminal)
6. "./adb devices" (verify your device shows - if you get ????????, adb did not start right)
7. "./extract-files.sh" (this will extract the proprietary files from your device and place them in the device folder for building)
8. "cd"
9. "cd android/system" (puts you back in the CM build folder)
Once that's done, all you basically need to do after that is:
"source build/envsetup.sh" (Setup source build)
"lunch" (this will give you a list of builds - pick your device)
"make -j# bacon" (# is the number of processors your phone has +1)
The Repo Sync and Make commands will take time, but once you've finished the Make cycle, your Rom (if there were no errors) will be compiled, signed and ready to flash on your device. From there, you can use the kitchen to add "tweaks" to your rom (CM sources are usually pre-setup, but you can still add things like "data/app" access to your Rom).
Hopefully this takes you to the next step. PM me if you run into problems, I'll help you through it.
If you get abd shows your device as ??????????

jbirdvegas has it right on the adb correction if your device isn't found. I'll look for setting up the rules and post the link a little later.
Glacier doesn't have instructions yet, but there are CM builds for it. If you follow the evo instructions that will get you setup. Just replace supersonic with glacier to get your device established. There wasn't one for the Eris, either, and the EVO instructions are what I used.
Also, if you're building for GB and you're on a 32-bit system, it will tell you you cannot build it. There is a bypass; I'm using a 32-bit system and just removed the "end" statement in the make file. My builds work just fine, so bypassing the environment won't mess up your builds...

Start by setting up a build machine. Linux base with Java Sdk6 (not sdk7). If you are running windows you can use a program galled wubi to set a dual boot on your Pc to have ubuntu run, or you can use vmware to set up a virtually Linux emulator over top windows.
Then it will be up to you on what source you want to build from. And just google "build cm7 from source kindle fire" and there will be all kinds of links with instructions from there

First of all, you need to setup Eclipse, Android SDK and ADT Plugin (try to run a "hello world" sample, to ensure that all is Ok). Windows or Linux... it doesn't mater, the result will be the same
Then, search for Android Development tutorials (there are many, just find them). If you have a specific doubt, try to search before post. Many of times the doubt is already solved at specialized sites, like stackoverflow

rom porting even if doesnt need compiling new kernel atleast need modified ramdisk.
afaik ramdisk can only be unpack and repack in linux. dont know if it works natively in windows or with cygwin. even so cygwin is hell trying to figure out its dependency properly.
u better of installing full linux distro then trying to configure cygwin
point is, for hardcore dev job only linux can satisfy the needs

This is not a problem, I have one hard drive too and have dual boot. Read about installing for example ubuntu behind windows and how does grub works.
ughh forgot about this.
ubuntu/linuxmint also got wubi. its installed them side by side with windows, within windows itself. to install it is just by clicking wubi installer like u always do with other windows apps
