So with camera support starting to roll in on my TP2, one of the first things I tried with the new camera was Google Goggles. Like many, I received a message that IPv6 is required in the kernel.
I've searched around, and found some solutions. It is possible to enable IPv6 with the following lines in the terminal:
Code:
su
modprobe ipv6
At this point, IPv6 is then enabled, and Google Goggles functions correctly.
It seems to me then that this would be an easy fix. Could it be added to the end of my froyo.sys.conf? And would it be easy to enable IPv6 by default in the kernel?
Wow, it's really that simple? Try adding just the second command to your froyo.user.conf, in the CustomCommands section. See what happens.
If so, I'm sure it could easily be enabled on the kernel. Heck, there may already be a cmdline option for it in the startup.txt...
Indeed it appears to be that simple. It would appear that the IPv6 support is there, in the modules file, as ipv6.ko. It is just a matter of calling the modules file with the modprobe command.
However, this is one of the larger modules, at almost 5 MB. Perhaps some of the devs are omitting this from their modules files, but Jerome's latest modules file for camera support on the Rhodium includes the ipv6 ko, and it simply needs to be loaded.
Oh, and I added the modprobe line to my froyo.user.conf, and it now loads at boot time. After every boot, I can use goggles without issue.
Just running the modboot from terminal requires that you repeat after each boot.
IPV6? Bah! It'll never catch on. But it will be cool to have an IP address of abbacaddabba.

Please read the first post. IPv6 is required by a small number of apps, notably Google Goggles.

I guess he was just kidding.
I can't get the exact quote, but I have read about a good old english man, head of her majesty's patent office, in UK, in 19th century, that interviewed about the great advance in technology happening in the second half of 1800 stated something like this:
"Bad times are coming for patent offices: we already invented steam power by burning coal, what could possibly be invented more?"
LOL!

Yeah...that was sarcasm to the nth degree. I actually already use IPv6 and browse the IPv6 Internet. It does have a few cool things on it. Check it out.

My apologies. Hard to tell sometimes if someone's being serious or not on these forums.
Thanks for digging this up! I've actually never modified my froyo.conf before, so I wanted to double check that I was doing it right before I jacked everything up.
Assuming I have the right set of modules, do I just add "modprobe ipv6" to the very last section? I'm assuming it gets its own line...?
Or is there something I can add to the startup.txt (which scares me a loooot less)

Nope, needs to be froyo.user.conf. Go to the bottom, find the "CustomCommands" Section. Just place the command within those brackets on its own line - easy peasy.
how do you open that froyo.user.conf file? im in windows,synced up to pc and it says windows cannot open this file type. what am i doing wrong?

Right click, open with. I prefer Notepad++, but normal notepad will do... just be careful of carriage returns (Linux and Windows handle them differently...)
Its showing #echo modprobe ipv6 on the line
Do I remove echo? or the # sign too?

Depending on where that is, yes you'd remove both the hash mark (#) and the echo.
I just put (in my CustomCommands section) 'modprobe ipv6' all on one line by itself.
I entered modprobe ipv6 in notepad & opened in notepad++ & it instantly showed that # echo modprobe ipv6 was entered. Thats why I brought it up.

Erm... no explanation for that. Never heard of that before, but I also never use notepad, I always use notepad++... the only thing I've had notepad screw up is carriage returns, which is expected because of the reason I stated above...

You can also do this on your device using Astro.
With the camera support in the main kernel and builds, maybe it's time to implement this in an FAQ or into the builds

Need to add ch13 to wireless. Ar6000 chip can do it, but i can find no config to set it. Reg domain missing on the x10. Anyong know how to re-add it? Phone is rooted, but cant find a config file either. Anyone have any ideas?

Have you tried to manually modify wpa_supplicant.conf? It's located at /data/misc/wifi/ I recommend you to use Root Explorer because it includes a text editor and can easily mount the partition. Be careful to not touch its original permissions or your wifi won't work. BR
Edit: I've been investigating this issue an there's no option in wpa_supplicant.conf to change channel range or to point to a channel, you just set the ssid. I hope it's not hardcoded in wlan_tools binary file... First thing I'd try is to write your wifi parameters into wpa_supplicant.conf and then cross your fingers
I don't think so...
I've spent hours on this (including reading source code from atheros used in openmoko) and I am starting to get an idea of how it is set.
Android passes a hex code to the ar6000 module when it loads it on boot..
That hex code is the regulatory domain... I am trying to find out what the codes are, and also where the X10 is installing that module.
you can do a lsmod as root in a terminal to see what I mean.
I could just use rmmod and insmod to remove/add the driver as needed, but would rather find the place where android is loading the module and edit it there to suit.
regards
Frank
PS, been using root explorer since the day it was rooted.
right now, I'm copying the entire system to the sdcard so I Can browse though it on the pc.
did a dump of the whole system to sdcard and then used agent ransack on a windows box to look inside all files including binaries to see if I can find where the ar6000 module is loaded, but can't find it anywhere.... lots of mentions, but nothing I can see as loading the module.
I may actually have to re-compile the ar6000 module and hard code it to all 14 channels.
I've downloaded the source from SE and I'm looking though the driver and related code trying to find a way to hard code 14 channels or some method of making it settable that doesn't involve locale
Hope you succeed. That's just ridiculous that SE sells X10 with the wrong domain in the first place so that users in Europe and Australia can't use channels 12 and 13. Even more ridiculous is that you cannot connect to ad-hoc network because that is disabled,only infrastructure mode is allowed. Maybe that could be patched too somehow...?
Im gonna set up a build enviroment and compile default ar6000.ko wifi_tools wpa_supplicant etc etc. My biggest concern is that just when i get it sorted...... someone will hack the bootloader and it won't be necessary anymore.
Don't know why they have done this.... i suspect to get the international approvals quickly without having to hack on the code.

I think the answer is the least common denominator. Why maintain two kernels, one with full number of channels available and one with a restricted set when the vast majority won't care and in most cases even won't know it's missing? It's easier to maintain one kernel with the lower number of channels since it'll work just fine on both markets.
Edit: Channel 14 is a japanese "bonus", so I'm disregarding this as it's only one country.
True, but the ar6000 is supposed to look at the locale set, and set the available channels from that. Unfortunately it seema SE broke it and locked it to 11 only. Needing 12 and 13 is more comman than you think

Don't make assumptions about what I think, you'll look foolish. I know full well that those are useful channels, but I also know that it's illegal to use them in parts of the world. And when you're releasing a wireless device all over the world it sometimes makes more sense to limit the number of channels to the lowest common denominator.

So what do you suppose to do with those 3 files?
Simply copy them all in \ of the phone and reboot it?
Interesting, The module ar6000.ko IS actually different... for one thing it is 284 bytes smaller and a binary diff shows there is a small change early on in the file and a bit lopped off the end.
I put them in place in the root dir of the phone.... set the ownership:
chown -R root.root wifi
Turned off wifi so it unloaded the default module.
loaded it manually with insmod:
insmod /wifi/ar6000.ko
And off it went after turning the wifi back on.
Then renamed the old /system/wifi directory:
mv /system/wifi /system/old_wifi
and put the new one in it's place.
cp /wifi /system/wifi
works perfectly for normal wifi...
Just have to wait till I'm at work on Monday to find out if it gives me ch13. My big router has clagged wifi at present and a new card is on it's way from the US for it.. in the meantime I'm using a Siemens piece of junk that is also locked to 11 channels.
It is work I need ch13 for anyway.. will know on Monday.
Mr jerpelea, you are already a legend for your efforts rooting the phone, but you may have just put another feather in your cap.

Unfortunately it still doesn't work, because they have disabled channels above 11 even in japanese firmware. :/
How do you know they disabled the japanese version? It is possible that we need to get japanese wlan_tools, wpa_supplicant and wmiconfig to get it working, not just the driver..... i cant think of any other reason they would change the driver like they have. I will be reflashing soon... i might put dotmoco japanese rom on first and test it properly
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
These files from japanese version are different simply because they are older versions. You won't get channels 12 and 13 if you substitute your files with those.
BUT I'VE FOUND A SOLUTION THAT REALLY WORKS!
You have to turn wifi off and hexedit file /data/misc/wifi/reg_code
Change its contents from 10 00 to 37 00 and you will now get full 13 channels!
Don't try to change to 40 00 (which would be for Japan), you won't get 14 channels because hardware supports just 13 and the driver would simply fail to load.
Wish there would be as simple solution as that also for the ad-hoc issue.
that is friggin awesome.... should tell jerpela so he can add it to root. funny, id looked at that file lots of times ant it never clicked that reg = region..... doh!
What is the ad-hoc issue? i wasnt aware there was one... have not tried it yet.
will look for the thread... lost in newbie "cant root" threads......

Hi Chilly,
Have you tested this?
I ask because it isn't working for me..
I made sure the permissions and ownership was the same as before, (system system for the one in data/misc) and also did the same for the one in /system/wifi and that one is owned root.root.
still not detecting 12 or 13... tis very odd... I am running the latest 23 rooted firmware... are you? Normal channels are working fine still.
I had this issue, where all apps would run fine, but web pages would freeze. Moreover, this would only happen when using 4G. Unfortunately, the problem is due to adfree replacing the hosts file. I am not sure why, and even more confused why it only affects 4G, but it is definitely the culprit. Currently, the only solution I have is to revert the hosts file and deal with the ads. So what it comes down to, is enjoy 4G in the browser, and have ads, or no ads and no 4G in the browser.
Here is the fix, courtesy of RyteSyde:
Open up adfree and choose custom ip, in the box enter
72.3.232.220
Then let adfree do its thing. That is all it takes to have 4G and no ads. If you appreciate this, give RyteSyde a thank you.
It could be one or several individual entries in your hosts. I don't use adfree but use a hosts file I compile myself and use on my win servers, clients etc. No probs on 3/4g or wireless. Have you tried replacing the hosts yourself...ie without adfree?

Sure thing. Here's a zip with the hosts in unix and win formats. You can remove/add to the list but if you make changes to the unix list be sure to convert it back to unix format after saving so the carraige returns are correct. I use dos2unix for that. Also, if you open the unix in notepad they will all run together, but wordpad will line item them.

I appreciate it, thanks. (I run Linux, so format should not be an issue, but thanks for the warning).
also just in case anyone else reads this...
To copy the hosts yourself, though there are several ways, put the unix hosts file on you sd card. I typically just email it to myself since I'll get it right away via exchange and I don't have to USB the phone. Then I save the att to the sd card. From there I use root explorer and Mount R/W mode and navigate to the hosts file on the sd card and copy the hosts file. Then navigate to the /etc folder on the phone and paste the hosts file. If you only have the original hosts there is ony one line in it (127.0.0.1 localhost) so it's not super important to backup the original (I don't). You can always rename the original to hostsX or the like if you wish.
After you've copied it, reboot the phone and you're good to go.
The win version goes in windows\system32\drivers\etc and there's no need to reboot. Just do a command prompt "ipconfig /flushdns" and then "nbtstat -R" to clear the cache. The win hosts can also be merged with your current one with notepad or your flavor of text editor.
This will block a large majority of the ads out there on sites like drudge etc.

Unfortunately no, when I pushed your host file, my phone started boot looping. I did nothing else, just pushed the file, then rebooted. I am really confused by this, as it would have worked fine with my G1. I need to investigate further.
well that's really strange. Perhaps dos2unix didn't do it's job properly or something. Can you open the unix hosts file on your linux box, save it and then try?
Strange it's boot looping because hosts is pretty low on the resolution stack and should just bypass if it can't read/find a hosts and move on to DNS resolution.

That is what I was thinking. I will give it another shot after work tonight.
I got the same problem loading pages on 4G through the browser while using adfree. So I switched to Dolphin browser and that took care of it. That is a temp fix for now I guess but honestly Dolphin is a better browser to me anyway.

I've confirmed this issue on my device as well and I'm about 99% sure I've confirmed what is causing it and it's not the structure or corruption of the hosts file but it has to do with it. Will post back when I have the update.
Okay got the fix for this. Sorry it took so long but my 4G at the moment won't hold a signal so I got in the truck, braved the 25degree temps and went and parked right next to my closest 4G tower so I could hold a signal and finally confirm this. It's not really a fix per-se, rather a correction. What AdFree does is use 127.0.0.1 to redirect domains away from their correct IP's. That's nothing new. When I modify hosts files, I never use 127.0.0.1 because it is an internal loopback designation. Will it work, yes but if 127.0.0.1 does not run a web server, your returns *can* be much slower vs. an actual web server that returns an immediate response, even if that response is "page not found" etc. Compare that to a simple wait for timeout for no response. So, for my setup here I have a domain controller, web/dns server etc. and all of my hosts files point to that server's LAN IP. Result...no ads (or very very few until I add them to the list) and pages are very fast to load. Actually, I just use the hosts file on the server and use that server as my primary DNS everywhere else so I don't have to update the hosts on multiple machines.
Obviously on the phone, it's not able to see my server's IP so I modified the hosts I uploaded to use 127.0.0.1, because we weren't having issues with timeouts. The problem comes with 4G and it's got to be because the 4G is going through a proxy server I'm not aware of yet (haven't investigated further) and when it tries to return back to 127.0.0.1, that is no longer *your* NIC. That's why some pages will load and others won't. If a page has content derived from any source that's listed in the hosts file, it will try to wait for the timeout before moving on to the remainder of the code. If you hit a page that doesn't have any references to anything in the hosts file, it'll load just fine.
So, the resolution is to modify the IP used in the hosts file. I decided to load up sprint.com and see what speeds I got from various derivatives and for *me* the fastest one was now.sprint.com, which resolves to 72.3.232.220. I replaced all of the 127.0.0.1 entries with 72.3.232.220 except for the first localhost, leaving that 127.0.0.1 and put that on the SD card. I went to the tower, fiddled around making sure it was doing the same thing and then loaded this hosts file. (FYI you don't need to reboot after replacing it). Now all the pages load like you'd expect.
So, I hope that drawn out explanation helps you and others. You can use really any IP you want for the hosts resolver, just try to make sure it's an actual web server to avoid the timeouts.
I'm uploading the hosts with the now.sprint.com IP for you and all to use. Let me know if it fixes your problem as it did mine.

I know my Linux, but am fairly ignorant when it comes to networks. I really appreciate the help.
On the topic of adfree, I like to use it since it updates the hosts file with no effort on my part. I realize it is just downloading a list, then concatenating to the hosts file, but it is just one less thing I need to worry about.
I am a mathematician, so if that can ever be of help to you, please let me know.

Glad this thread helped someone else. No ads makes such a difference.
I just tried droidwall yesterday, it's completely non functional, can't block anything. Added browser to black list to test and it functions just fine.
Anyone else has experience with it? I'm on LP8.
Solved, data limit in android disables droidwall. Oh and you people who goes around rate threads one stars completely screws up the atmosphere for a normal discussion, even one of the most useful thread in this forum was crapped on by one of you.
I am on LPS and DroidWall works as expected. Your root access is fine of course?
Works well with me here too
Of course. In my search there are quite a few other instances where droidwall is not working in ICS.
I figured it out, if data limit is set in android data counter, it somehow disables droidwall.
Try to enter 'iptables -L' in an ADB shell. Do you see any difference depending on the firewall being turned on or off? If turned on you should see lines similar to the following one in the droidwall chain:
Code:
droidwall-reject all -- anywhere anywhere owner UID match app_108

Thanks, yeah once I know it works for others it's easy enough to troubleshoot it.
Not sure if this is strictly 'development', but it turns out the nexus Q with debugging enabled can run pretty much anything. So far I've only tested the doubleTwist alarm clock and firefox, but it works! (Admittedly, navigation is slow, but still, it's nice to see that Google was open with this)
how are you controlling the apps?
Well right now I'm just feeding it xy coordinates from a computer, but I'm considering trying to rig something up for wireless communication...if I feel motivated enough.
Nice! If i can run things like netflix and a web browser i will definitely pick one up.

Pandora would be nice with this. How are you running the apps? What if we could have an app that would directly communicate to the Nexus Q and just push the running app to it? Just brainstorming ideas
1. I have actually done some web surfing using firefox, and it works (although its not very easy right now)
2. Netflix streaming in fact does work, although I haven't really tested for video quality at the moment.
3. I can try pandora at some point during the week. Unfortunately, I don't currently have access to speakers for it, so I haven't tested any audio yet.
4. I'm running the app by sideloading apks using adb and then running adb shell to start the app.
5. I was considering writing a service that would allow me to send some commands from an android phone...but somebody may have done that already (there's an app on the play store called Tablet Remote that I may try) so I may just give that a go.
I just got my Nexus Q so I'm definitely interested in development. If you need any testers feel free to hit me up!

anyone know how to get windows to recognize the nexus q when you put it in debugging mode (so I can use adb)

I've had similar experiences, side loading works just fine and all the apps start up. I looked into this tablet remote, and it seems like it would work too, but I hate the idea of Bluetooth pairing.
In the spirit of this device, I suppose the "right" way to do this would be to forward commands through a server. The receiver service running on the device end with a remote on the client end.
The limitation of the Tablet Remote is that it would require all of the apps to be started via ADB. I'm thinking of making a simple interface that starts some of the apps you would want to run (Pandora, Crackle, Netflix, etc).
I've actually developed a little app that I'll post here in a day or two. Its an app that starts a custom web server that runs in the background. I have a few commands running on it now that list the installed packages and to launch a package. Now I'm working on adding support for intents.
The idea is that you just need to load this one app through ADB (and any other apps you need installed). After that, you just go to the URL of the Q to control it.
Some commands that work now, where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the Q:
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8081 - shows home page with a list of supported commands
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8081/listpackages - shows a list of installed packages, each with a hyperlink to launch that package by clicking on it
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8081/launch?package=com.xxxx.xxx - will launch a particular package
So at this point, I'm not sure how to do touch or keyboard input. Has anyone tried a usb hub to a mini usb adapter, and plugging in a USB mouse and keyboard. I guess you can't do bluetooth devices since you need something to select the action to actually do the pairing.

nwadams - I had to edit the android_winusb.inf file manually. Put this in both the [Google.NTx86] and [Google.NTamd64] sections. I'm not sure if you need that &REV_0216 at the end or not. Then I manually had windows install the driver, and pointed it to the android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver folder.
; Nexus Q
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_2C10&REV_0216

thanks man. worked like a charm.
Yeah I was actually going to try something along the web server route. We'll see: I won't have access to a Q until thursday
I've experimented with bluetooth pairing (Magic Mouse) but I couldn't get the pairing to actually complete, and logcat was rather unhelpful with that one.
Also, how're you handling starting apps where the activity needs to be specified? I've found that ones that don't handle the Launcher intent or w/e don't really start properly unless I give it the activity name manually.
I just uploaded my test app and started another thread "Juice Receiver". I figured that would probably need a thread of it's own to report problems or request features.
The background service should autostart since I created a broadcast receiver to start the service. In the manifest, I set this for the broadcast receiver: action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED"

I use linux, and i can detect the device, but it says under device number, ????????????? and no permissions as well. i try to adb shell it, no permissions. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix? Really want to start working on this bad boy.

sudo adb start-server
Or go on source.android.com and follow the directions for the adb permissions section and add a line for the Q info you can get from lsusb
How exactly did you send it x, y coordinates? I got the netflix apk up and running on it: https://plus.google.com/110462891087801857205/posts/Ufu6hT8GX9i
Obviously useless without some sort of input. I noticed that someone got a HID mouse working with it though.
Also to note: this was not rooted, just did a normal adb install with an apk.

Cool, thanks.
I actually got passed the login page for netflix, just gotta somehow figure out how to press the movie to initiate streaming something.
I actually just eyeballed the screen and guessed where to press until I got a movie to play. Not precise, but good enough for testing.
This code is found in init.rc, I believe it's similar to CIQ(Spyware) from the manufacturer. It needs to be removed from everyone's kernels. I've checked and it appears its still there in custom kernels. Found in init.rc.. That or remove the binary. Remote check for root/applications installed
LMI = Log Me In?
Code:
# This will grant permission for LMI Rescue Start Server
chown graphics /system/bin/RescueStarter
chmod 755 /system/bin/RescueStarter
chown graphics /system/bin/RescueServer
chmod 755 /system/bin/RescueServer
# This will start LMI Rescue Start Server
service RescueStarter /system/bin/RescueStarter

Editing mine now. Sank you
Edit: removed lines from init.rc but on viperdna I did not see that binary in system/bin.

Don't think it's spyware. Verizon has had something like this added to most of their recent phones. They're probably gearing up for something allowing reps to tap into your phone like remote assistance for windows and help fix problems

Pretty sure they have software installed on stock that reports various aspects for troubleshooting when you call, this may be something like that.

That I am sure doesn't require prior authorization to use. I would not put it past them to to data mine with it.

Yea, of course I'm sure someone's using it somewhere higher up. Data mining is where every company makes their money now. Being on the floor, nada. Haven't used it (read: found a use for it) since its been out
