here is a tun.ko for VPN. Build by scotty2
worksforme
where does this need to be pushed
and exactly does it do lol
Ah, sorry, it can be stored anywhere where it persists reboot.
You need root to insmod it though and right now this needs to be done manually.
Yep, I'm no expert on the inner workings of linux/android, but. I installed VPN Connections v0.99 from here. Then I used the tun.ko from above. I don't know that it'll be persistent, but I'll set up a script in ghost script to move it from my sdcard to /system/lib/modules/ if I need to reboot.
It absolutely works for me.
Thanks for posting it.

Putting it int that dir will not survive a reboot. I put it in /data/local/modules (I created that dir). I am also using the one click root on boot (so it's automatic) and have a script that insmods it. The script must be saved to /data/local/visionary.sh and chmod 755 (at least 744).
#!/bin/sh
insmod /data/local/modules/tun.ko

Yes, you are correct, it doesn't survive a boot. I know just enough to be dangerous, so I created a script in gscript to replace it after a reboot. I looked up the insmod command, it looks like that is a MUCH better option.
Thanks tons
Hi Android Gurus,
I am not a pro in android nor in scripting, I installed VPN Connections v0.99 and followed the mentioned instruction, so now I have Astro file manager installed and I downloaded the tun.ko for VPN. Build by scotty2 and it is on my SD card, don't laugh at me what next?
thanks in advance

Do you have root? You have to have root to be able to get this up and running.
It sounds like this is all that's left.

To me, the easiest way to put the file in that location is with adb.
Then you'll need to go to the vpn gui and setup a connection. For that you'll need the vpn group name and password and your username and password.
where shall I put the file tun.ko ? in the root or should I create a directory like /data/local/modules and put it there?

How can I get that? I like the volume slider, since I have to switch to vibrate the other day (i know it goes to silent but I have an app to make it vibrate instead). If anybody has some tips or a way that'd be helpful.

I'm on the Skyraider rom, don't know if that makes a difference but I'm deleting it with root explorer then the phone shuts off powers up and the file is right back there again.
Careful if you're on the stock rom and delete the default lockscreen apk, I've heard it makes the lookscreen look really bad. But it works on other roms.

The only way you can delete a file in system, is if you've used unrevoked forever to unlock nand. Then in root explorer, change system to rw (read/write), then I'd rename the app instead of deleting just in case you need to put it back.

If you're in recovery, you have to mount system under the partions menu first.

I've used better terminal emulator to remove the lock screen.
Use this line:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
To mount system.
Then:
cd system/app
rm HtcLockScreen.*
(Case sensitive)
Worked great, had to reboot though and it stuck. Until then the old one stayed.
Thanks to adrynalyne for the mount line.

I just removed mine with adb and it worked without a hitch. Word of caution though if you use your alarm, you need install another clock app otherwise you won't be able to turn the alarm off without pulling the battery. I just installed the stock android desk clock and all is well again.

currently if you try adfree on gingerbread you get some java error to solve this do the following
1. uninstall Adfree
2. download this apk file

PHP:
adb remount
adb push AdFree.MCR.apk /system/app
Thanks, I have been trying to get adfree to work all night... Works perfect!
I'm on GingerVillian 1.4. Getting an "Application not installed" message.
Not to hijack but you could also download a hosts file (google one) and put it in /system/etc. This is what that program does for you.

any chance of a .zip? i dont know how to use adb
ADB Works/Copy+Paste, Normal Install Does NOT Work
I’m running GingerVillain 1.4 and it worked for me, but let me venture a guess here: you tried to put the apk into system/app via Root Explorer/ES File Manager/Whatever. Either that or you tried installing the apk as you would install any other apk. Am I right?
I did the same thing, and I ran into the same problem you did. I have no idea why, though I’m sure there is good reason. However, if you uninstall AdFree and then use ADB as directed above it will work just fine. You won’t have to install it or anything; it just magically appears in the application drawer as if you had never uninstalled it in the first place.
ADB works, but RootExplorer-style Copy/Paste does not.
Hope that helps,

I got a mT4G with gingy and adfree works fine. I think one of the updates they did, some ppl were having problems with
4gCM7
I followed the instructions on a G2 with Gingervillain 1.4 and it worked perfectly.
FYI: copying and pasting with Root Explorer doesn't work.
I was lazy, but ended up having to use the adb method.

You nailed it! I used ADB and it's working now. Thanks!
You can put the apk in the root of your sd card and run these commands in terminal if you don't want to use adb:
Su
cd /sdcard
mount -o remount, rw /system
install AdFree.MCR.apk /system/app
You can also make a gscript script with those commands if you constantly flash the GB updates like me. =P

Adb pushing or installing from terminal did not work for me. As in, after uninstall of original and following steps, AdFree did not show up in the app list
However,
What I did was this...
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
rm /system/app/AdFree.MCR.apk
install /sdcard/download/AdFree.MCR.apk /system/app/
reboot
Then I installed from market
Not only did it show back up in the app list but no errors were given when updating the hosts file...

AdFree has been upgraded. Uninstall your previous version of AdFree, go to Market and download the new version and it will work just fine. (Supposedly trying to update an old AdFree to the new version won't fix it.)

I think that will be my job for today, looking into gscripts.
Just out of curiosity though, why is it that using RootExplorer/etc to move the .apk to /system/apps work?
I figure I could have installed it after the movie to make up for the install command. (And ES File Manager generally has no problem moving things to root areas.)
Always good to know -why- something is the way it is. I have a tendency to ignore reasons without explanations, and that has backfired a few times.
Or I can dig around XDA to find the answer; there be knowledge in these here forums.
Either way, thanks!

I extracted the wifi drivers from system/etc/wifi from a system dump of the SBF and placed them into the system.img from the cyanogenmod backup... they work great... I even was able to get wifi tethering to work via Barnacle...
I am currently trying to experiment with enabling it via the settings but I really have no idea to be honest, I added wifi.tethering.ti=1 to the build.prop but it didn't work, i might have failed too though
Posting link soon for the driver files.... I don't know if ALL of them are necessary
I wasn't able to see barnacle in the market for our devices; this is the APK i used.
Btw use root explorer or ADB the files into your system/etc/wifi/ directory; overwrite old ones... ignore the softap directory (maybe that's why i have not had any luck yet? haha.)
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=8M2WSPQ0
adding this flag
wifi.tethering.ti=1 - failed
testing this flag now
ro.mot.wifi.hotspot=1 - failed
So currently I can get adhoc via barnacle but no infrastructure via settings
Great...
Can you make a updater zip and I will add it in my download section.
If you can't.. let me know and I can help ...
PS
Enabling tethering is kernel related unless you use third party apps

You can use wifi update zip as a base. Just add correct system folder with files like app lib etc and delete the old files
For this it would be etc folder
In recovery... if you want to mount sdcard... just start adb in advanced recovery menu then you can mount sdcard.. much easier then having to have phone on to swap and install files

You'll remove all the ads block. So you need to install an ads blocking app when you need that feature again.

I tried it again using "su". I'm pretty sure that is what I used the first time as well because when I entered the command the super user prompt came up to allow access for terminal. Same results. Didn't see any confirmation. Exited app and tried running SDFix and failed again. I then followed your link to your thread and followed step by step. Got all the way to the point where I was trying to save the text document at the end and got the prompt that I could not save the file.
I'm usually pretty good at following tutorials and I'm sure I'm not skipping steps but who knows. I think this one has me defeated lol.
If you put it on your SD card try just /sdcard/wp_mod.ko

Well I ran through both tutorials (yours and the others) once again. Entered the command twice to confirm and got the message "failed file already exists". So I'm assuming that part went through fine but still unable to run SDFix successfully or edit the install_recovery.sh file. Wouldn't allow me to save through es text edit or the standard one.
So now I'm trying to manually change the platform.xml file. When I navigate to system/etc I don't see any file named "platform.xml". Also tried a search through es file explorer and couldn't find any file. Any thoughts?

Are you mounting it as r/w in the file explorer? It doesn't seem like you're doing that. I know the module works.. You can't just install the module and it's magically writable.. you still have to make it r/w in a file explorer before you make any changes. I don't use es. I use root explorer and there is a r/w button on top.

Wow. Excuse my ignorance. I wasn't doing that. I downloaded root explorer and used the button to mount as you mentioned and viola I was able to save the edits! I'm now able to create folders on the ext SD. Still get an error when trying to backup from twrp but I guess that's an issue for another day.
I really appreciate all the help!

As of now recovery doesn't support exfat formatted cards, If your sd card is formatted as exfat it will fail in recovery. You need to either format your external sd card to fat32 or just wait until the recovery is updated to support exfat. It will once they get kernel source code

How far out do you think that is? I was figuring I could just get a cheaper card for my backups. Only thing is if I remember correctly Fat32 only supports up to 4GB files correct? I remember my backups being a tad over that so getting another card might not even make a difference.
