Hi, have anyone tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/hardware-hacking/hardware/ref-devices-ant-hardware-t2879990 ??
He said that moto x have internal ant antenna, could be enabled by flashing the zip in the post.
If anyone tried can say if work?
Thanks!
Actually he says "If you are running standard CyanogenMod" you can flash the zip. There may be OS dependencies to watch out for (although, the package does seem to have all the drivers and applications you might need). I wouldn't flash this without having a full backup using TWRP first.

One of the system apps (ANT HAL Service) in the package needs to be signed with the same signature as the platform build, for it to have permissions to access the drivers. That's why you need to be running an OS that used the same signature as antftw used when building from source.
Of you patch this package on to a different OS, it will still boot and run - but I don't recommend this as ANT will be broken and apps will get confused.
FYI: I have tried using root access to modify the driver file permissions so any app can access them (allowing the ANT HAL Service to be installed as a standard app). This worked temporarily, but I lost WiFi and Bluetooth after a reboot. Still a work in progress.
Welcome to the thread on Kali NetHunter for the Samsung Galaxy S5.
If you don't know what Kali NetHunter is, well, it's the entire Kali Linux operating system in a chroot on your phone, plus a bunch of awesome apps for executing exploits, fixing things, doing cool things. It goes on, I suppose.
I'm gonna be honest guys, I'm not a security person. When it comes to security, I'm more of a Paul Blart.
What I do know though, is that there is apt-get, and apt-get is life.
Find much more information here: https://github.com/offensive-security/kali-nethunter/wiki
The answer to all your questions, generally the answer is YES, IT CAN DO THAT.
The installer zip will add a few files (including busybox) to your /system partition, and install all of the NetHunter apps to your /data partition.
The chroot is located in /data/local, so you don't have to worry about your system partition being full. It's full read/write capable.
Understand that the zip will replace your current kernel with a completely different one.
This is necessary because most stock or custom kernels don't provide the drivers needed to operate most of Kali NetHunter's features.
These Kali NetHunter builds are designed and tested for TouchWiz 5.1, 6.0 & CyanogenMod 13.0.
DOWNLOAD
Current version: 3.1.0 (release, 2016-04-29)
Please be careful to download the right version for your device variant and ROM.
CyanogenMod 12.1 or any Android 5.x based AOSP ROM: lollipop
CyanogenMod 13.0 or any Android 6.x based AOSP ROM: marshmallow
TouchWiz 5.1: touchwiz-lollipop
TouchWiz 6.0: touchwiz-marshmallow
Download here: https://idlekernel.com/nethunter/nightly
Your device is: klte
Recommended install method: Use TWRP 3 for klte
Install kernel-nethunter-klte and nethunter-generic-armhf-kalifs-full-rolling zips in any order.
Kernel only installers are in the kernel-only directory inside each build directory. It might be a better idea to try and install that first and see if you can boot before flashing the entire NetHunter.
You can actually only install the kernel if you want to take advantage of its features without having to install the rest of NetHunter!
BEFORE INSTALLING
Do not flash the NetHunter update zip with a fresh data partition!
Most ROMs will wipe it clean on the first boot if you haven't completed the Android Setup Wizard yet, there's no need to wipe your ROM or data to try it out. I do advise backing up your data partition before flashing the zip though.
(this should no longer be possible now with added installation checks)
Please make sure your phone boots fine and runs fine before flashing NetHunter. It's confusing when people report bugs that exist in CyanogenMod by itself.
The Kali chroot and apps are installed on your data partition (in /data/local for chroot). To initialize the chroot and install Kali Linux, you need to start the Kali NetHunter app.
The NetHunter installer will automatically install SuperSU in system mode, which I consider to be more stable. Since NetHunter already modifies your system partition, there is no need to use systemless SuperSU anyways.
FULL INSTALL STEPS
Boot into TWRP
Flash kernel-nethunter-klte and nethunter-generic-armhf-kalifs-full-rolling zips in any order.
Reboot into device
Open the NetHunter app
Let the NetHunter app finish setting everything up
You're done!
UPDATING TO A NEWER BUILD
Going from 3.0.0 and up, all you have to do is flash the new build in recovery. On some ROMs you may need to wipe dalvik cache.
UPDATING YOUR ROM
To get all your NetHunter and SuperSU functions back after flashing a new ROM, just flash the new ~60 MB update-nethunter-klte zip in TWRP.
RUNNING WIFI PENETRATION TESTS
The internal WiFi chipset of the Galaxy S5 is not capable of running services which use monitor mode such as Wifite. For this, you will need to use a monitor mode capable WiFi adapter through a microUSB OTG adapter.
As for compatible adapters, I highly recommend the Alfa Networks AWUS036NEH (eBay) which uses the Ralink RT3070 chipset. There are currently no monitor mode supported Wireless-AC adapters available.
Once plugged in, you can run the command from Kali terminal to turn on your adapter:
[email protected]:~# ip link set wlan1 up
RAN INTO AN ISSUE OR BUG?
In order for me to help you, you have to at minimum reply with:
The link to the exact zip you downloaded
Your device model (it better be klte)
The name of the ROM you're flashing it on
The version and build date of the ROM you're flashing it on
A complete description of your problem
Optional: An audio recording of you reading this entire post
If your issue is with a specific app, it might be better to contact the developer of that app.
If your issue is during the installation (ex. flashing the NetHunter zip), then please collect a TWRP recovery.log for me.
If you found a problem and were able to fix it, and no one's mentioned it in the thread already, it would be kind to state the issue and your fix for others to make use of as well.
You can join me and the other NetHunter developers on IRC at the #nethunter room on freenode to more handily diagnose problems together.
I apologize, but I can't do house calls at this time.
KNOWN ISSUES
USB Keyboard & VNC - Google Keyboard, AOSP Keyboard, CM Keyboard do not work due to a depth bug, use Hacker's Keyboard as a workaround.
Terminal App - Full screen programs like nano or vi are unusable unless you use the resize command. (always type resize when opening a new terminal window)
THE KERNEL
The NetHunter kernel for the Samsung Galaxy S5 is based on nVidia's rel-24-sb-r1-1 kernel sources.
It has the following changes:
F2FS added using Jaeguek Kim's latest kernel.org:f2fs-stable sources (available on system/data/cache!)
UKSM - Ultra Kernel Same-page Merging support
Cortex-A15 & Neon-VFPv4 + -O2 compiler optimizations
NEON-asm kernel & sha/aes support
Compiled with Linaro's branch of GCC 4.9.4
Updated and enabled USB (OTG) Atheros, Ralink, and Realtek WiFi drivers
Simple IO (SIO) scheduler as default IO scheduler (updated for modern kernels)
USB HID Gadget keyboard support
mac80211 packet injection support
TCP congestion control updates and fixes
Westwood or Cubic (default)
DriveDroid compatibility
Some small security fixes (pipe, keyring, etc)
Additional drivers built in for the full Kali NetHunter experience

Just want to be the first to say thank you for this. I have nethunter on my grouper and love it. Now I can have it on my S5.
Quick question before I start, I'm currently running VRToxin 6.0.1 with a modified version of their kernel. What is the best method if installing this?

Hey guys, had a mod close the previous thread so I could add it to DevDB and clean up the posts from when the kernel was broken.

Okay, in that case (assuming you want to keep that kernel), then you just need to:
Do a full unroot of SuperSu or whatever root method you are currently using
Install any generic-armhf package from the NetHunter nightly downloads
Wipe dalvik-cache
Boot up
This will modify and install everything except your kernel zImage.
You will not be able to use OTG WiFi, Wifite, HID keyboard attacks unless your current kernel supported them. It will pretty much just be a chroot.
Alternatively, you can:
Do a full unroot of SuperSu or whatever root method you are currently using
Install the kltespr-marshmallow package which is for AOSP based Marshmallow from the NetHunter nightly downloads
Wipe dalvik-cache
Boot up
This will also replace your kernel zImage, you will have full NetHunter features - but you will lose additional features of your current kernel.
@crazyraiga: your logs show that system is mounted read-only, everything will fail in such a case. I'll add a check to the installer and refuse install in that case!
Update: 20160122-1305 build now checks if it can write to /system and /data before running the installer.
OK. First I've installed kernel-only and everything was fine. Then I installed update zip for TouchWiz and stuck on boot animation. Then I reflashed my ROM and found all NetHunter apps installed already. So I flashed kernel-only again and now when trying to install chroot geting following:
Code:
CreateChroot >> Error:
java.lang.RuntimeException
java.lang.RuntimeException
Is it possible to fix?
My device: klte
ROM: Revolution S5 v5.3
UPDATE
I've just flashed full chroot zip and everything seems OK. But kali mode in terminal not working: terminal just makes toast '1)No title' and crashes.

If you don't want USB OTG WiFi or HID keyboard gadget support or want to keep your current kernel, then no you don't need that.
Generic-armhf installer will work on ANY armv7 device, not just S5. I put a lot of work into all this.

It should work on any ROM that is AOSP / Slim / CyanogenMod based. Basically as long as it isn't TouchWiz it *should* work. I don't know what bless rom is.

thanks for your reply, spell mistake Bliss Rom 6.0 most customize-able rom ever , installed your build on it but some issues.
i already installed kali nethunter on my nexus 5 and was running it fine also cracked a wifi password successfully (WITH TP-LINK TL-WN722N)
but now on Galaxy S5 G900T in Bliss Rom 6.x installed your build with kernel you mentioned in your OP but can't open Nethunter Terminal (terminal Emulator is running fine) also tried to start/launch Wifite in custom commands but a tiny Terminal screen opens and show me " 1) No title. "
Please will you guide me how to run and activate external usb wifi adapter (TP-LINK TL-WN722N).
Thanks.:good:

Did you go into the NetHunter app and download/install your chroot?
You can't do anything without the chroot installed lol.
If NetHunter app has issues downloading chroot, just install this zip which includes it instead:
https://idlekernel.com/nethunter/nightly/3.0.1-20160124-1518/chroot-full/
Keep in mind you need to run the NetHunter app after installing any chroot for it to set up the scripts and run properly.
If chroot is installed properly and terminal is still not opening, can you get me a logcat?

TP-Link TL-WN722N is what most people use because it doesn't pull excessive power from OTG.
I think the S5 can probably handle ALFA AWUS036NEH though, which provides the best wireless connectivity / speed of all the supported devices.
If you need 5 GHz band, check out AWUS051NH. About the same range as WN722N, faster, about the same power usage, but not nearly as portable.
I have a AWUS036H, from first steps with Backtrack, works also fine with the S5.
Wow, just came across this thread today. Very happy to see this come to the S5! I bought a nexus 5 for the soul purpose of being able to run nethunter, now I can finally stop carrying my "extra" phone around. Can't wait to try this out with my pineapple.
Hello XDA,
Im back again with another personal project I'm having some issues with. First, a bit of explanation as to why I've chosen to attempt this.
I was running a heavily modified stock rom with nethunter 5.1.0 that was incredibly unstable, and eventually crashed right out on me (modified using root based apps so the crash was my fault) .
So I grabbed the CM13 snapshot for hammerhead, and layered on nethunter 3.0 (big fan since BT3), only to find out my wifi card isn't supported. On 5.1.0 I also had this issue
(see here http://forum.xda-developers.com)/showpost.php?p=64400679
which I managed to fix with a simple source build with a few extra options checked in menuconfig.
Sadly it doesn't seem to be quite that easy with CM13 and marshmellow.
I'm using the DWA160-b2 wifi adapter, which from my research, uses the rt2800usb chipset, which supposedly points to the rt5572 driver. So, I enabled the corresponding options in menuconfig , although I cant remember the exact wording at this moment (using winblows to write this, and not my linux) and I still have no life in my wifi card.
So, after even more research, I found out I should be able to cross-compile the required drivers using the arm-eabi tools. However, after trying I've come to the conclusion that there is no arm based config for this driver. So then I tried backports, and recieved an error about incomplete linux headers (I assume because of the chroot, because my headers are all installed).
Now finally my question:
How do I go about compiling this driver for arm? Or is there a know working arm driver for this particular card? As I have not come across one in my searching. Also please dont say get a new wifi card lol I have a few different usb wifi cards, all with the same issue (albeit different chipsets).
Are u trying to port kali kexec to cm13 kernel?

The Bug:
Connecting Phone to PC using USB, no Notification appears for switching USB modes.
The Fix:
Go into Developer Settings and under 'USB Configuration' change option to 'MTP'. This doesn't survive reboots though and has to be repeated.
What we know:
There have been many reports of MTP issues with Oreo:
https://www.theandroidsoul.com/unable-to-connect-pixel-nexus-to-pc-android-o-fix/
https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/...on-menu-missing-mtp-after-oreo-update.688153/
https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/phone-by-google/DfpqXN1UfWY/IloXRZB3CAAJ
https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/nexus/PP_MDA4y0kU
The early reports of this bug date back to late 2017 when the only devices on Oreo were using Official Manufacturer ROMs. Particularly Nexus and Pixel devices. It looks like reports of the bug declined as the manufacturers got to grip with Oreo and fixed the issues. It seems to me that the bug exists in AOSP and so custom ROMs built upon it are now the only ones facing this issue.

Permanent Fix..
LOS 15.1 maintainer has fixed this in LOS Kernel:
https://review.lineageos.org/#/c/LineageOS/android_kernel_oneplus_msm8996/+/215091/
Caesium Kernel has also been updated with the patch.
Thanks to dianlujitao for finding the fix and to MSF Jarvis for getting it out there to test.
I never had such an issue on OxygenOS, LineageOS and Resurrection Remix (usually with custom kernel, Magisk's root and Xposed). Connecting to Windows 10 x64 PC with original Dash cable. USB debugging disabled. I didn't tinker with USB mode in developer settings at all, because I didn't have to. My current config in signature.
Other phones with Oreo onboard in my house are Nexus 5X with LOS 15.1 + ElementalX + Magisk + Xposed and Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X with similar to N5X's config, both of them are also ok.

I wonder if having Magisk installed does something to remedy the issue. It might explain why it doesn't affect everyone.
Hello guys
I have a rather "funny" issue with my MTP/USB connection on PC; All files (apk, zip etc) except media (mp3, mp4, jpeg etc) show up as Folders in windows file explorer when i connect the phone via MTP/USB. I have the Oneplus USB Drivers installed. Due to this I cant transfer any file (except media) from the phone (they are all folders).
I have tried connecting it to another computer but the issue is still there; which makes it rather an issue on the phone itself. Any help?

Did it always do this or has something changed? You have the phone in MTP mode when you plug it in? Does Device Manager in Windows flag any issues? See if this helps:
In Device Manager, (with the phone connected), look for your phone in the list. Right click on Phone, Update Drivers, Driver from Computer (Local Search), Select "MTP USB Device".

That's great! Enabling USB modes at Boot is exactly what is needed. It's what is supposed to happen but for some reason hasn't been. It doesn't override what you have set in Dev options though. I run with USB Debugging disabled in Settings, and it remains that way.
It's MTP that i'm most concerned with and so far everything is working normally!
This is an unofficial build of LineageOS 16.0 for the Motorola razr I, (XT890/SMI).
Lots of thanks to Hazou. This rom is based on his los-14 rom and I got help from him with los-16.
This rom has full hardware support and should run stable. It has been tested by me in daily use. I'm using the rom without google apps, but with microg. Installing google apps requires some apps to move to data partition because of limited system size. See install description for more info.
Special Features
-All features of Hazous 14.1 rom
-MicroG signature spoofing patch is included.
-Adaptive icons can be disabled in homescreen settings.
I can include more features if requested
Known Bugs
-The camera preview image sometimes shakes at random

Update
If you already run an earlier version of this rom, just boot to twrp and install the latest flashable zip file
Install
1. Backup everything you don't want to loose.
2. Download and install TWRP 3.2.3 (download in attachments. Can be flashed with fastboot or with another recovery)
3. If you come from another rom do a full wipe with twrp
4. Download and install the rom flashable zip (download from mega.nz link is in section download)
5. If you want to install opengapps or need system partition space for other things. Install the move_to_data.zip file from the attachments. This will move the Webview and the LatinIME app to data partition.
6. Choose one of the following options:
-either install google apps (download form https://opengapps.org/. Choose x86 9.0 nano or pico)
-or install MicroG (can be installed with the unofficial installer https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/microg-unofficial-installer-t3432360) this is lighter in ram and cpu usage but you will get problems with google chrome and other apps
7. If you want root access install the addonsu-16.0-x86.zip (download in the attachments)
8. Reboot the phone. First reboot will take some time

DATA Encryption
If you want to enable data encryption this would break the pds partition backup. To prevent this, the cache partition can be used as backup location:
-edit /system/bin/pdsbackup.sh
-change PDS_FILE=/data/misc/pds/pdsdata.img to PDS_FILE=/cache/misc/pds/pdsdata.img
-resize data partition in TWRP:
Code:
umount /data
umount /sdcard
e2fsck -f /dev/block/mmcblk0p17
resize2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p17 1367079
-reboot the phone

This if I did not expect it, I'll try to see how it goes. Thank you.
Download links and install description are up now. Download from mega.nz because xda download section is broken at the moment. I'm waiting for your test reports
It's really great works, thank you!!
I quickly tried and found several points.
- USB connection with PC
All USB connection option including File Transfer, USB tethering, PTP are grayed out.
Disabling/Enabling android debug in setting didn't work.
- Wifi with storage encryption
When you enable storage encryption, WiFi always become disabled, not be able to enable.
Just FYI, it required deleting /system/bin/pdsbackup.sh AND reducing partition size of 'data' (/dev/block/mmcblk0p17).
- SElinux
Although it is designated as permissive in device.mk, it's actually worked as "disabled".
I'm not sure it's related or not, however, when building "user build", it's failed with "ERROR: permissive domains not allowed in user builds".
I know "user build" is not officially supported in Lineage release, however, it's really helpful if we can do it for AFW usage.
Previously I could use Lineage 14.1 smi build for AFW and safetynet app with user build.
BTW, performance is really great, seems to be almost same as Lineage 11.

I also noticed that. Will see how this can be fixed. It is just a problem with the option dialog. Usb connection works fine. As a workaround you can set a default USB configuration in developer options

I think lineage trust doesn't differentiate between permissive and disabled. Selinux support is planned for future releases
Thank you for quick check.
Regarding USB connection, I also confirmed that Ubuntu can recognize as external storage with above option, besides Windows still does not recognize. Maybe depending on my environment.
Also I noticed that Chrome, Chrome Beta and Chrome Canary (therefore another Chrome based apps such as Maps Go) always crash. This is also maybe my environment only, though. BTW, I could install MicroG, besides couldn't install OpenGapps 9.0 pico due to partition size limit.
Additionally, I couldn't find any LED settings, currently LED is always off during charge or any notification.

Notification Led should work. Can be configured under settings->apps and notifications->notifications->notification light. I don't know what happened with the battery light. It will hopefully come back if I upgrade the driver to hidl.
Google Chrome is a known problem with MicroG. It requires official gapps. I will check if some of the unprivileged lineage apps can be moved to data partition to make place for google apps
Newbie question
Hi all, I know someone who's selling her old RAZR i XT890 and I'm interested (for experimental reasons but also the oddity that it's Intel powered). I've never owned a RAZR i so I've got some questions:
-The phone is from 2012 so quite old and has 1GB RAM, does it work well with this Lineage 16? Because usually newer software would perform bad on older SoC (I used to have iOS 7 on iPhone 4 back in the day and it was painfully slow compared to 6).
-On Lineage 16, can it run any Android app as a standard new Android Pie phone? I ask because this is an Intel x86 CPU, so can it still run Android apps as normal or are most of them only designed for ARM and therefore unusable?
If I get the good news, I may buy the phone and try this Lineage OS custom ROM.
Regarding LED, maybe it became working after modifying some option of notification light. Battery connection light is still always off.
Regarding opengapps, I moved webview and LatinIME from app directory to external SD in TWRP, then installed as normal app after system boot. Webview worked fine besides LatinIME always crash. I'm using different IME, so it's no problem. With this environment, opengapps nano can be installed, then Chrome, Maps and other google apps worked.

That's good. Than we can make a flashable zip to automatically move and symlink them to data partition.
I will provide a new build till end of the week with improved usb and notification LED implementation. I already got it working in my local setup

Newer android versions have been designed while keeping low ram devices in mind. Ram hungry special features like the picture in picture mode are excluded from builds for older device. So the situation is much better then on iOS. But a newer phone would run better thought.
Most android apps are available for x86. But some are still arm only and get automatically emulated. The intel houdini emulator integrates these apps natively into the system but they are a bit slower then x86 apps. These are for example Skype and a few unity based games

Thanks for the response. So I should be alright with it then, hopefully. I just hope it won't lag on that old SoC. I'd love if you could upload a quick video of it in action.

I've installed the OS without problems, but when i try to get GApps Pico or any other version TWRP prompt error 70. How should i proceed? There is any additional configuration needed?

Yes, system partition size is limited on this phone. To install GApps some files need to be moved to data partition.
I created a flashable zip to automate this process. Take a look at the modified install description in the first post
New build is up now.

Sorry don't have enough time to make a video in the near future. Maybe someone else can record a video of it
I could confirm that notification LED and USB storage works fine with lineage-16.0-20190713-UNOFFICIAL-smi. Thanks.
Still WiFi with storage encryption does not work.

Alright, thanks. I bought my friend's RAZR i and I am planning to use it as a daily driver with this ROM (I'm a light user anyway), I can't thank you enough for making this LineageOS for such an old device. I wonder if such a recent Lineage has been developed for the 2011 Atrix, haven't seen one.
I have questions though, firstly I've never used a custom ROM before, can I simply follow the instructions on this thread to get it working, or is there anything that has to be done beforehand like rooting? Secondly, are any other OSs successfully booting on this x86 phone, as I can't find it on XDA? (it surprisingly hasn't gotten much attention as a hackable device like HTC HD2 or Nokia N900 got).

If the phone never had a custom rom yet, you have to unlock the bootloader first. Description is in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1928551

Thank you for bringing my old RAZR i back to life! I really appreciate the time and effort you spent for this obselete phone. Looking forward for more updates and for a bug free ROM. Using it now

I'm not sure if I misunderstood but when you said "it required deleting....." and "reducing partition size of data", did you mean you can get WiFi to work if you do those things? I'm no expert at these but I can atleast apply the "fix" (if it really is) given that you guide me, if it's okay with you. Thanks!
