hi,
I have modded the config for goldfish to enable netfilter.
And also, a full build of AOSP. The entire thing (system + kernel) works perfectly on the emulator.
In a shell (root), I run iptables -L and I get a 3 rows of data (input, output, forward) with no data (which is expected).
When I try to add a rule like:
iptables -A OUTPUT -m owner --uid-owner 10001 -j DROP
it tells me that it could not find any table/match etc.
I have verified that the "owner" extension exists in the source code. What have I missed here?
cheers,
Earlence
I got it!
a crucial netfilter config was missing
CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_OWNER=m
Once that was in, everything worked like a charm!
Cheers,
Earlence
Can you share how to enable netfilter?
CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_OWNER=m
I want to set this on my HTC phone.
Hi,
I've being watching all the developments about the emerging tablets and I must say that all Tegra 250 devices look very interesting, although Toshiba Folio 100 already has PCB pads to add more ram... I am sure that Toshiba will add more 500Mb ram on the next Folio to give a better android 2.3 support.
Anyway, here's my question: how can I, or anyone else, recompile the Linux android kernel for Tegra 250 and place it in the FolioMod, well, I'm asking this because I remembered that these tablets are excellent for one thing that many are forgetting...
To watch digital television from a USB TV pen, well, the device has USB host support, it has Linux to manage the devices attached... What else is need ? Video 4 Linux... This is kernel built-in... So, how can I recompile the kernel to add this and other desktop usual features ? Any cons ?
Cheers.

I am interested in too, if you make any advance let me know; I am really interested in this!!!!
The process is quite straightforward.
Get the kernel source here: http://tegramid.com/wiki/Main_Page
- unzip the source and cd into the source directory
Get the current kernel config from your device:
Code:
adb pull /proc/config.gz
Unpack and rename the config file
Code:
gunzip config.gz
mv config .config
Adjust the config to your needs.
Now you need the an gcc to compile for arm, the easiest way is to checkout the android source repository (read source.android.com for instructions, actually you would only need the prebuilt toolchain)
Now add the compiler to your path environment variable
Code:
export PATH=<android-source-dir>/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.0/bin/:$PATH
now you can build the kernel using
Code:
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi-
Now you need to repack and flash your new kernel to the device.
An excellent article on how to prepare a new boot.img can be found here:
http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Unpack,_Edit,_and_Re-Pack_Boot_Images
After that simply create an update.zip and flash using recovery.
Note, AFAIK v4l support is already included in the current FolioMod kernel.
WOW
Really thanks, I will try asap!!
Btw according to dmesg output kernel commandline should be:
Code:
[email protected] [email protected] vmalloc=192M video=tegrafb console=ttyS0,115200n8 usbcore.old_scheme_first=1 tegraboot=sdmmc tegrapart=recovery:122000:a00:800,linux:a0e00:1000:800,loader:300:400:800,mbr:700:200:800,system:900:20000:800,cache:20900:80000:800,misc:a0900:400:800,userdata:a1f00:80000:800 boardtype=PR
weeds2000:
So, the kernel is the common Android Tegra 250, have you tried this already ?
I though this could be the thing to do, but I also thought that Toshiba had pulled a fast one by customizing the Android Tegra 250 kernel...
Hum... If this is so, I will buy an Toshiba Folio 100 lol... I hope to add many thing to the kernel... as a programmer I would love to have USB-RS232 adapters too eh eh eh... New horizons then!
I was also thinking, if not this device, the Viewsonic Viewpad 10, that has a BIOS and an Atom, an x86 architecture then, would be much easier to recompile...
It has some modifications ore extra modules.
Compiling the default kernel from the froyo-tegra tree from nvidia failed (not sure what exactly was missing, display simply switched off and it seems there was a kernel panic somewhere)
But yes compiling the kernel from the sources given at the wiki works. I'm running a slightly modified kernel at the moment compiled using the steps given above.
weeds2000:
Its common on embedded devices like most Android devices... The best thing invented is the BIOS lol... Without one, we must hard-code the kernel to map the resources to the specific hardware...
Do you recommend buying a Toshiba Folio 100 ?
Anyway, what modifications have you done (just curious) ?
I would recommend the Folio to someone that can do some modding and is able to flash custom roms to the device.
Before FolioMod the device was pretty much useless to me, but with the modifications done by dexter and the rest of us, it turned out to be a pretty good device.
However I would not order it blind because of the display. Compared to, for example the Galaxy Tab, you can clearly see why the device is that cheap. Viewing angle is really not good on this, so you may want to take a look at a store or something if this bother you or not (it's OK for me though).
Kernel modifications where
- mouse driver (to fix the bug introduced by the rotation fix, without success up to now)
- playing around with the kernel hacking options to get some performance. turning them off however prevent the wifi module to load
- adding utf8 NLS support to the kernel (also this is the default, as this is required to mount NTFS partitions with utf8 support, otherwise some files where missing or have bad encoding and could not be opend by mediaplayer/reader/whatever.
When you do the make config, in the kernel options menu do you recall seeing the video4linux ?
I'm guessing that the tablet only needs that included on the built kernel to fire up TV watching programs, the idea is to load a USB digital TV device and run any Linux TV programs. Not going to MythTV because it might have too many dependencies... and not all libraries are available to ARM...
The view angle doesn't bother me that much, as long as the screen image is flawless eh eh eh, its a media tablet, so, it should be anyway...
One more thing, that key combination to flash the device comes already from factory right? I recall seeing a similar combination on the NVidea Tegra 250 development board. Or does it need the Dexter flasher too ?
I'm new to tablets as you can see lol and I'm seeing lots of tasty looking tablets... I want one that I can use for hack in my (I wish) free time, I guess its just like most people here lol.
The Viewpad 10 is about the same price, has x86 (single core tho) and more 500MB ram and ... a BIOS ... But has pros and cons... damn why can't we have it all... I guess I will try to see some in my hands first. iPad looks great, but lacks connectivity and Apple wants money for a developer membership lol... Android is incredibly but the vendors are crooks that embed the kernel with the hardware instead of adding a BIOS... Windows Mobile is... to limited and simple to use, no console... bah... Is there was one for free I would pick that one, but they all have similar prices... The reviews show that all have pros and cons... oh well...
OK getting mythTV on the device is quite an impressive task.
As not even the c-library is the default glibc known from your desktop PC and may miss a few things here and there. (learned that when trying to port libfuse and ntfs-3g)

Whoa, CONFIG_MEDIA_TUNER and CONFIG_MEDIA_TUNER_SIMPLE on from default ?! Also V4L ?!?! what is going on here?! Is Toshiba thinking about making an docking station with a TV Tuner in it and a custom software to watch TV ?!
Edit: I was dreaming awake... I didn't noticed that you were writing about FolioMod kernel... But it would be fun if they did had added these features...
I used mythTV as an example LOL It has too much dependencies... I could try to get all the dependencies for ARM... or compile some for ARM... but it would take lots of time... TVTime looks better for Android, I'm off to see a real Folio 100 on my hands, I have lots of doubts LOL...
It also seems that radio was not forgotten, CONFIG_RADIO_ADAPTERS on... also a possible digital audio broadcast support... hum...
It could be fun if I or someone managed to get a TV Tunner on Folio, TV on camping, TV on the bed, TV everywhere !
The Android kernel seems to have fewer drivers tho... a pity...
Was anyone successful on compiling tegra 250 image for flashing board
Howto - creating a boot.img with new kernel
Note: I wrote a small guide how to repack boot.img when you have your new compiled kernel (based on http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Unpack,_Edit,_and_Re-Pack_Boot_Images but modified for folio). I also included modified perl scripts and binary files needed under linux (ubuntu 10.10) for that (no need to compile tools from sdk). So that swapping a new zImage kernel instead of an old one is a question of seconds
See - Howto - unpack,edit,repack boot.img: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=915808
hi guys i dont know if this is related to kernel but i would like to get the android policy jar. do you know how to do it?
thanks!
This is quite interesting topic you are discussing here.....
Can you pls gather the information abt the kernel compilation as well as image assembly so others can experiment too ?
What are chances to brick the device during tests ?
Being a linux user for some time I would be very happy to have something like
- either a custom kernel for android for playing
- or linux distribution to run on the device (as Archos 5 IT have dual boot with Linux for example)
perhaps we can gather up to produce something like it for our device ????
thanks
is possible try compiling kernel 2.6.35 for folio?? anyone has tried?
Is the hardware capable? If so, where do we start?
Just found this:
ed.slatt said:
I believe /proc/config shows options used to compile the linux kernel. I appended references to OTG in /proc/config to this post. "# CONFIG_USB_OTG is not set" suggests otg support has not been compiled into the kernel but "CONFIG_USB_OTG_UTILS=y" makes me think there is a chance. Perhaps some insmod command will load the appropriate module. It’s probably worthwhile to determine what these OTG flags really mean. I’ll try to look into that in the next couple of days.
I would prefer to not recompile the kernel because this device is my everyday phone and I would be in trouble without it. Furthermore, I believe not all hardware supports OTG in the first place and I haven't yet seen a declaration that this device does support it.
Does anybody know what USB chipset is used in the htc incredible 4g lte and whether it supports OTG or USB host mode?

It was unanswered in that thread because no one knew. No need to start a new thread. Also, this is the wrong forum for a question, that's why we have the Q&A forum.
Congrats to you for getting the S-OFF phone on eBay, though, since we're already in the wrong place.
Welcome everyone to my RPi Media Center. This project is aimed at RPi 2 & RPi 3. Just a couple of things before we get started:
This project aims to explain how to set up a complete multimedia center (mediacenter), a game station and a download server. All in one. Any use aimed at hacking / stealing content with copyrights / third parties without express consent is prohibited. This project is based on a set of free software that can be easily found on the internet. This project has no lucrative purpose, its sole purpose is to teach and educate people the configuration and use of the different programs. This project was originally maintained by AikonCWD and has since stopped updating the project, so i am taking it on board to get it back up and running smoothly again. Obviously there will and are hick-ups/bugs. Thus for the mean time i will keep the project in Beta until we have a fully functional release.
For DCMA reasons Kodi will be supplied with NO EXTRA ADD-ONS. Please do not ask about them Look HERE if you are such inclined to do so. We do not condone such behavior.
Features:
-Multi-Media Center: Kodi 17.4 Krypton
-Game Center: RetroPie 4.0
-Game Streaming: Moonlight 2.2.1
-Download Center(s): Transmission & PyLoad
-Workstation: XFCE, FireFox & Chromium
-Tools: a bunch of extra tools
Needed Components:
-RPi 2 or PRi3
-MicroSD SDHC card (6gb or more recommended)
-MicroUSB Charger(5Volt and 3Amp)
-Protective enclosure for the RPi
-HDMI Cable
Recommended Extras:
-Power supply cable with the ON/OFF click button switch
-Heat sinks and fan to help keep the RPi Cooler
-Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo
-Xbox360 Controller (USB)
Pre-Configured for ease of use:
-Everything is pre-configured for a plug and play functionality. You shouldn't have to set anything up unless you have updated the files.
-Everything is in English, Originally translated from Spanish. (Please note i can support more languages if its needed in the future)
-Protocols SSH and SMB (Samba) are enabled (Username: root / Password: aikoncwd)
-Transmission setup for maximum torrent speeds (IT IS HIGHLY RECCOMENDED TO SET THIS UP WITH YOUR OWN Username and Password! Info on how to do that can be FOUND HERE)
-Access via Zeroconf enabled (For remote control via SmartPhone)
Whats Been Disabled for Performance Reasons:
-AirPlay
-Time Addon
-RSS news reader disabled
-Library Sharing Via UPnP
Okay Lets get started with the Installation, its pretty straight forward i have shrunk the .img as low as i can for the mean time. After Beta is done i will make more of an effort to shrink the file further.
Installation:
1. Download the preconfigured BETA-RPiMediaCenter.img image
2. Record the image on your microSD card :
-Windows : Use Win32DisKImager
-Linux :
Code:
sudo pv BETA-RPiMediaCenter.img | sudo dd of=disk2s1 bs=4M && sync
-MAC : Use the Apple-PiBakery program , thanks to jagarciavi
3. Insert your microSD with the .IMG that we loaded on to the SD-Card In the previous step
4. Plug in the power
5. The Raspberry will light up (Red/Green LED's on the mainboard) and the start up splash will show.
7. RPi Media Center will start automatically at boot every time.
8. (Optional) Verify that the partition occupies 100% of your microSD with the command:
Code:
df -h
MD5 CHECK-SUM:
Code:
921d4d195a795ddef00cf221160836f6
*Verify on windows with this TOOL
After Install
It is recommended that you set-up a static IP for your Media Center. It makes things a whole lot easier if you're using Moonlight and Transmission.
Which can be done by:
Opening Terminal and Typing
Code:
nano /etc/dhcpcd.conf
Then removing # From each of these lines:
Code:
interface eth0
static ip_address=192.168.1.100/24
static routers=192.168.1.1
static domain_name_servers=8.8.8.8
And then setting up as to how you need it to. Its different for everyone.
Extras Install Guide:
Configure PyLoad (optional)
PyLoad is a program that allows you to transform your Raspberry into a direct download server . The PyLoad daemon is installed and configured, but it is disabled by default since not all users need to use it. If you want to enable and use PyLoad ... keep reading:
First of all we are going to configure the daemon so that it is auto-executed when turning on the Raspberry . Edit the cron auto-boot file with the command:
Code:
crontab -e
We are located at the bottom, locate the line @reboot pyLoadCore -daemonand remove the comment from the beginning, it should look like this: @reboot pyLoadCore --daemon( you have to put the 2 dashes in front of the word daemon ). Save the changes by pressing the keys: CTRL+ X, then Yand finallyIntro
You will have to restart your Raspberry to have the pyLoad daemon running, remember that Kodi turns on automatically, you must close it to return to the console.
We access PyLoad through a web browser using port 8000 , for example: http://192.168.1.100:8000
The default user is root and password root . In the top menu you can manage the user and change the password (recommended), just below you will find the configuration where you can edit the configuration, captchas plugins etc ... and add any premium account you have from the different hosts.
Overclocking (optional) DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK!
I recommend enabling a bit of overclock , you'll get more fluency when moving through the Kodi menus and you'll noticeably boost performance when playing emulators. Your CPU will be able to perform faster calculations and access to ram memory or microSD disk will have lower response times.
Strongly recommend use some method of ventilation / cooling in order to avoid reaching 85C , since the RPI lower speed if it reaches that temperature
If you want you can run a benchmark (diagnostic) to test your overclock level, execute the following command:
Code:
curl [url]https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aikoncwd/rpi-benchmark/master/rpi-benchmark.sh[/url] | sudo bash
Raspberry Pi 3: Overclock settings
Edit your file nano /boot/config.txtand paste the following code, you can adjust the values to have more or less overclock:
Code:

Read the commands well, you may want to modify some to customize your image.
Raspberry Pi 2: Overclock settings
Edit your file nano /boot/config.txtand paste the following code, you can adjust the values to have more or less overclock:
gpu_mem=256
gpu_mem_256=128
gpu_mem_512=256
gpu_mem_1024=256
arm_freq=1100
core_freq=550
sdram_freq=483
over_voltage=6
over_voltage_sdram=2
temp_limit=70
force_turbo=0
initial_turbo=60
hdmi_drive=2
hdmi_ignore_cec=0
hdmi_ignore_cec_init=1
hdmi_ignore_hotplug=0
hdmi_force_hotplug=1
#disable_overscan=0
#overscan_scale=1
#overscan_left=49
#overscan_right=49
#overscan_top=29
#overscan_bottom=25
max_usb_current=1
dtparam=audio=on
dtparam=spi=on
You will find a script called bcmstat that allows you to accurately measure the hardware status of your Raspberry, you can see at what speed your CPU is going and at what temperature it is, for this it executes:
/root/bcmstat.sh

BUGS
-Desktop/Emulationstation and wifi addons are currently not working.
Just use These commands for what you need when it goes to the terminal:
Desktop Environment:
Code:
startx
RetroPie:
Code:
emulationstation
Wifi
Code:
./RetroPie-Setup/retropie_packages.sh 829 gui
Bluetooth
Code:
./RetroPie-Setup/retropie_packages.sh 803 gui
I will fix these at a later date But for the mean time let me know how you go
Raspberry Pi Mediacenter
Hi. The previous version from AikonsCWD impressed. I was looking for ways to update KODI on Krypton, found your topic. Thanks for the update, but the scripts do not work, the command line falls out. Are there plans to upgrade from beta? I was looking for a way to cross Raspbyan XFCE and KODI, but really nothing happened. Do not tell me how to update or build your image? Thank you.
P.S. English is not my favorite language.

Thanks for your feedback, I'm looking at updating it this year but I'm not sure when that will occur. The scripts don't work as stated. If you exit out of kodi you will be met with the command line which is where you run said commands to get them to work. Kodi is updating to 18 later this year so I might update the project to support 18 and the scripts till then this runs as intended.
Hello and thanks for the effort!
Although the image is working fine in my RP2+, I tried it into an RPB3+ and looks the OS is not booting.
Any idea what's happening? I tried default values and also overclock values, neither is making bootstrapping the OS.

It's not for 3b+.
