[FIX] VPN is working on Simple Streak ROM! - Streak 5 Android Development

Hello there! After months asking for the developer of Simple Streak Rom for a fix in the VPN connections (and no answer) I have been trying to fix it. Well, I made it! After several days of frustration, I have finally made it work
What do you need:
1. Working VPNServices.apk (I pulled from the PlayDoh ROM, which it is based on 354 ROM which it is supposedly the same of Simple Streak 1.2 Testing V4)

2. Working tun.ko for our devices (thanks gpmg762 for that!)

3. Need to give special permissions to the VPNServices.apk. In a terminal emulator, or using adb, type:
Code:
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/null /system
chmod 0644 /system/app/VpnServices.apk
mount -o remount,ro /dev/null /system
sync
reboot
3. Load for the first time the tun.ko. In the same console, type:
Code:
su
insmod /pathofwheretun.kois/tun.ko
4. Edit the init script to load the tun module every boot. Edit this file: "/etc/init.streak.post_boot.sh", adding this line to the last line:
"insmod /system/lib/modules/tun.ko"
ASSUMING you have the tun.ko in /system/lib/modules folder.
And that's it!
**UPDATE: It works! The problem seems to be my router, in 3G is working fine!!
**UPDATE 2: In my case, it is not working on WiFi. I'll try on other ones in the night.
**UPDATE 3: My bad, problem with the chmod. I have fixed it on the thread
**UPDATE 4: In the Simple Streak 1.3 testing 5, Splida added the tun.ko but he didnt add the VpnServices.apk nor the postboot modification. So, just skip step 2. And it is still not working using WiFi.
WiFi problem probably with dd-wrt router. Will test this night.

This is awesome! VPN working on Simple Streak?! Downloading now.
Excited to use my blue tooth mouse with windows remote desktop (2x Client) away from the office and secured tunnel.
::EDIT:: working great on my WiFi!
Ok, so how do we script tun.ko? You could figure out how to run the insmod /data/tunko/tun.ko at every boot -TheManii, I'm looking at you
Or create a shortcut that will run tun.ko on demand and preferably connect the VPN with the same single click.

This is more of DJ_Steve's area of expertise I think, I dont really know much in regards to launching scripts on boot.
I guess you could make a script in /system/etc/init.d or just /system/etc
with
Code:
insmod /system/lib/modules/tun.ko
I dont see where streakdroid has it's scripts to run it, mabye it's automatic if it's in that folder? If it does in fact still need to be scripted i believe init.d runs with root privs?
Really I'm just guessing

May be you can try scriptmanager run on boot option

Guys, you can put the line "/system/bin/insmod /system/lib/modules/tun.ko" into /etc/init.streak.post_boot.sh, that loads it for me after a reboot.
Or you can use GScript from market to load it manually.
Hope that helps.

That's right, I figured it out minutes later I posted this post.. but I was lazy to put it here
In my case, I just put on the last line:
insmod /system/lib/modules/tun.ko

i'm testing your method now....
here is the result. ..
terminal emulator:
su
insmod /system/lib/modules/tun.ko
insmod: init_module '/system/lib/modules/tun.ko' failed(Exec format error)
need your expertise. . . .TIA
in init.streak.post_boot.sh
the last line says "esac"
will i put it like this{ esac "insmod /system/lib/modules/tun.ko"}
or like this:
esac
"insmod /system/lib/modules/tun.ko"
noob here....thanks again.

Try to ask him via PM and then, provide the tun.ko, so I can put it on the mirror server to everyone.

yes it is, that's why openvpn can't open the tun device.
type here what you write on the terminal

same as your post...
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/null /system
chmod 0644 /system/app/VpnServices.apk
mount -o remount,ro /dev/null /system
sync
reboot
then after reboot:
su
insmod /system/lib/modules/tun.ko
i tried the one gpmr provided ad the result is:
no such file or directory
then i tried the one that he gave you last:
Failed (file exist)
anyway,what does 0644 do to the vpnservices.apk?
