Hey guys,
I'm trying to install a newer version of Manilla2D, but my Kaiser keeps telling me that the file doesn't have the proper system permissions. I'm making sure to disable HTCHome beforehand, but it still isn't working. Can anyone help?
Pan
Has anyone managed to get Open VPN working on a Galaxy S? I have a SPICA on which it is working but I cant find a TUN.KO that works on the Galaxy S. Thanks
Also trying to find a proper TUN.KO for the Galaxy S.
No luck so far.
Read here: http://android.modaco.com/content-page/291919/openvpn-on-android/page/20/
None of the methods described for other phones worked for Samsung Galaxy S. I tried with several tun.ko and all where giving me "format errors" as the kernel was not matching.
Last resort, I compile it myself from Samsung I9000 kernel sources.
Tested it and worked. I know have OpenVPN in Galaxy S (I9000)!
I attach the tun.ko file. I hope other guys out there with I9000 can use it.
Excellent. Will give it a go. Which ROM are you running?
I'm currently running I9000BGF1, I will be soon upgrading to new Firmware.
Kernel Version: 2.6.29 [email protected] #2
Hi Chafw,
Can you talk me through where you put the tun.ko, and where you put your OpenVPN files in the directories? I'm getting no where fast on this!
Thanks

Hi mittu1,
I believe you are already root and busybox/openvpn installed.
I used the same link that tids2k wrote above to setup the whole thing up.
I used openvpn-settings application for starting up openvpn configurations.
In openvpn-settings you can define where the tun.ko driver is located.
Anyway, the simplest thing to do firdst to test whether the tun.ko works for you is to
load it by hand using a root shell:
insmod <path to tun.ko>
I have it installed in /system/lib/modules/tun.ko.
Hope this helps.
The tun.ko is ok, it loads nicely. Many many many thanks !!!
In the "OpenVpn Settings" app, my connection ask me for a password, I see "auth", then nothing, I fall back in front of the "select to turn on OpenVPN tunnel" button.
I have tried with stock libcrypto.so and libssl.so, and then with those from openvpn-binary.zip at hxxp://sourceforge.net/projects/tunneldroid/files/
The OpenVPN app still don't want to establish the connection... In no ways... And no log message in dmesg at all (neither for tun)
So it's enough for this night, but if someone have an idea, you are (really) welcome !!!
Does the module have to match the kernel version exactly? Running european JM2,
kernel is 2.6.29 [email protected]3#2
PS. 1st Post
Do you copy tun.ko in the /lib/modules folder ? or in a new freshly created folder /system/lib/modules (as said on modaco guide) ?
On my system (XXJF3 / XXJF3 / XAJF3), I have no /system/lib/modules folder, and every time a mount in rw my /, then write tun.ko to /lib/modules, then remount in readonly, and then reboot the phone, the tun.ko file disappear...
Do I miss something ? Does the / mount point isn't a real partition ???
thnks in advance
@ Anduru:
No, don't think that is necessary but I'm also quite new to Android.
@raphman:
I created a new folder /system/lib/modules. I didn't have the directory either.
Anyway the OpenVpn-settings applications allow to define the location of the tun.ko. Haven't tried but I believe you could put it anywhere in the system.
Also, make sure the ifconfig and route commands are available and properly linked.
@chafw
thanks for your reply
meanwhile i just tried my luck and it worked.
Guys,
I'm glad it's working but I haven't managed it yet!!
I'm using the I9000XWJM2 rom, rooted! I've downloaded the tun.ko file, the open VPN Setting file off the market, and Open VPN installer. I've got the certs and config files.
Can some one please guide me through installation to get it up and running OR did people use the following link instructions
http://android.modaco.com/content/software/291919/openvpn-on-android/
Would really appreciate someone's help here.
Chaf, many thanks, but in fact, my installation was ok, it was a password problem... Arrrrgggggg !!!!!!!
So now I connect fine to my OpenVpn server, but I cannot reach any server withour using the "Fix DNS" problem.... Strange, because using the connection on my pc automacillay get the DNS given by the vpn....
Many thanks !!!
@raphman:
The DNS is a known issue in Android as OpenVPN uses update-resolv
hook scripts to update the resolv.conf configuration with the passed DNS parameters.
However, this does not work yet with in Android and Openvpn-settings.
You can either use fix-dns or add your hosts in the /etc/hosts file if they are
a limited number.
@mittu1:
Yes, that's the guide.
liblzo
I have got to the stage where my openvpn connection is started but no traffic is being passed through the tunnel. Checking around it seems that I am missing the liblzo.so file that handles compression. Can any of you guys post a working liblzo.so or confirm that your configuration does/doesn't use this file? Thanks.

take it here and 1st step is SAVE your old files somewhere !!!
hxxp://sourceforge.net/projects/tunneldroid/files/openvpn-binary.zip/download
then cp in /system/lib and chmod 755. That's ok on my i9000.
hi,
It didn't work! Still same problem. Any other suggestions?

I tried the tun.ko and it works! Unfortunately my (Endian) firewall can only use a tap device, and apparently both ends have to match. I get the connection, but the the device and IP are never setup. Any chance you can either compile the tap device like you did the tun, or give me the steps so I can do it myself ?
Has anyone been able to successfully re-compile a tun.ko for the captivate kernel?
Office still has old IPSEC group ID based vpn
Thanks.
[mods please move to development]
Trying my hand at building that module from the vanilla Eclair + Samsung code drop. Will let you know how it goes...
I used this tun.ko, installed openvpn with the openvpn installer from the market, and installed the VPN_Connections_v099.apk from code.google.com/p/get-a-robot-vpnc to manage the connections. I am able to connect to my cisco vpn concentrator with my captivate. Hope this helps...
where on the phone do we copy the tun.ko file?
I put mine in /system/lib/modules/ and openvpn in /system/bin/. I also installed openvpn settings from the market and enabled the "load tun kernel module" option and changed the "load module using" to insmod. For some reason it would not connect without this, I guess because the tun module is not being loaded correctly. Also you can manually load the module by typing “insmod /system/lib/modules/tun.ko” and check to see if it’s loaded by typing “lsmod” and you should see “tun 11088 0 - Live 0xbf195000”
This worked for me.
loaded it manually, not sure if it'll load automatically now or not, haven't tried it.
Can't get this working...
Do you have to start OpenVPN and manually load the tun before launching VPN Connections? Of course after all of these settings...
Still not working...
Okay, I can manually insert and load the tun.ko and installed the VPN Connections app to this version. Every time I try to connect, it INSTANTLY says 'failed to connect'. Any ideas? I have all the right things in all the right places...OpenVPN installed and configured (although I can't see how I need this with the tun.ko manually started and running). HELP! I really need VPN to work on this device or it is going back...
Great information in this thread. I have Busybox installed, Open VPN binaries installed and Open VPN settings installed as well as the Vpn_connection_99.apk file. One issue though!
HOW DO I MANUALLY DROP THE TUN.KO FILE INTO THE SYSTEM/LIB/MODULES FOLDER?
I tried to using Droidexplorer with no luck, so I copied it to the sd card and tried to copy paste it using Astro File Explorer with no luck either. How the hell do I get it into that folder? I'm rooted and running the JH7 captivate stock ROM.
I feel like once I get it in there, I can manually start the file and get this puppy up and going! I tried to put it into another folder and just point Open VPN settings to it there but it just won't work like that. It needs to be in the Modules folder!
Thanks in advance!
Ugh I've tried about everything and no luck with copying the tun.ko file into the system/lib/modules directory.
I've gained root access using adb shell and su commands and I don't receive any errors in the adb shell when I perform cp tun.ko system/lib/modules but it does not copy the file. I tried to chmod 777 the lib folder but was denied. I'm learning I may not have NAND unlocked for full root. I tried to manually start the module from my sd card but it won't work that way either.
Any suggestions?
EDIT: OK BIG IMPROVEMENT. I WAS ABLE TO WRITE THE TUN.KO FILE TO A DIFFERENT LOCATION IN XBIN AND POINT THE OPENVPN AT THIS. AFTER AN LSMOD CHECK I CONFIRMED IT'S RUNNING. CAN ANYONE HELP ME BUILD A VALID OPENVPN .OVPN FILE FOR CONNECTING TO MY VPN? IT'S A STANDARD CISCO ASA IPSEC VPN THAT HAS A GROUP NAME, GROUP KEY AND VPN ADDRESS.
Thanks!
Here is the link that got me able to install the module elsewhere for all you folks facing NAND issues and not able to install tun.ko in the system/lib/modules folder!

OK. I've got true ipsec vpn working perfect on the captivate with the latest jh7 build. Cisco asa 5500 is the device being vpnd through.

Is anyone doing anything new and/or differently than what's been described in this thread to successfully connect to a Cisco VPN Concentrator? I know October is only two months back, but a lot can change in two months around here.
Also, there was a question on page 1 asking about whether the tun module had to be manually loaded each time or not. That was never answered. Can anyone shed some light on that, please?

Give me til tomorrow morning. I have EXACTLY what you are looking for. Consider donating if it helps... . It does need to be loaded each time but in the video I point at 2 apps that will make loading it literally a 3-5 second process and not involve you having to use a pc to load it.

Reason for OpenVpn Settings

The reason I use OpenVpn settings is because when you restart the phone you have to reload the tun.ko and OpenVpn settings is an easy way to do that, it also fixes the dns after you disconnect from the vpn by going to setting and fix dns. The process I use to start the vpn is (starting from a cold boot of the phone)
1. I ALWAYS leave the check box in OpenVPN settings UNCHECKED (OpenVPN off) unless I'm starting the tun.ko after a boot. After the phone boots I open OpenVPN settings and check the box next to OpenVPN and wait a few seconds, then uncheck it. This loads the tun.ko and only needs to be done after a reboot.
2. go to VPN connections and click and hold the vpn connection you made to your VPN concentrator and click connect. (you should be connected at this point)
3. after you disconnect the dns on the phone may not change back automatically from the VPN dns servers, so go to OpenVPN setting and click setting and Fix DNS. You should be able to get out to the Inet again.
Cognition 3.04
Has anyone gotten this to work on the Cognition 3.04 ROM? I keep getting:
fatal:cannot allocate TUN/TAP dev dynamically
K, I don't know what I'm missing here. There's not word one about config files or their format in this thread but, as far as I can tell, this is a fairly worthless collection of bits without one.
I've reviewed the thread 3 times and searched the forums, where can I find formats for these mysterious conf files?
Some custom roms have tun.ko built in. I use Paragon RC6, based on speedmod kernel. To activate tun.ko I rebooted into recovery mode, chose speedmod tweaks and activated tun.ko, rebooted and installed OpenVPN Installer and OpenVPN Settings from the market. Then had to adb some symbolic links (google is your friend). After d/l'ing conf files from my commercial OVPN supplier and some editing the setup works very well.

If my ROM doesn't have tun.ko built in, is it possible to use from a different ROM?
Hi!
I have problem with installing my own apk file.
If I create some project in Eclipse and export apk file (doesn't matter if signed or not), even from empty project, and try to install it on phone, I get message: "Could not open xxx.apk as APK file". I'm using Darky's v8.0. I tried no-wipe and then wipe version, but still the same.
What's weird: I've created some simple project few days earlier and apk from this project works fine. Even when I export new one now. But any other apk from new projects doesn't work.
P.S. Sorry for my English

Have you tried with a STOCK ROM installed?
XXJPY and newer ROMs have their /system r/o. And all 2.2.1 ROMs save the app settings to dbdata.

I have system mounted as r/w.
And even if the r/o would be a reason, then why any apk works fine, but not my files?

I am using The Galaxy Note GT-N7000 with Cyanogenmod 10.1 along with CM kernel. I was trying to install WeChat from Google Play. It got downloaded successfully but during installation, it failed displaying the following error: Unknown error code during application installation -24
Now I did try to search the solution for it over the net. I found a forum on this website for a fix, but that didn't quite work out. I did reply there too. I just needed your help too for solving this problem.
I tried using Root Explorer to search that data folder in data/data but unfortunately, that is where I was finding problem. I wasn't able to find the particular data folder of WeChat and so I wasn't able to proceed further in the process. Please help me out with this!
Thanks a lot in advance
