I need parted for android x86, have Samsung GT-P5210 with LineageOS 14.1 and CPU Intel(R) Z2560. Anybody can help? Version I've got is "parted: ELF executable, 32-bit LSB arm, static, stripped":
- cm-11.0/android_bootable_recovery/utilities/
- sdparted-recovery.zip
Either binary file or how to compile it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you, it worked! Did that:
Termux:
Code:
pkg install root-repo
apt upgrade
pkg install parted
pkg install tsu
sudo su
which parted
/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/parted
adb from pc:
Code:
adb shell
su

Howto build them?
Install chroot Ubuntu or any other distribution on your Prime.
chroot to the distribution
wget the kernel source from Asus
$ mkdir linux; cd linux
unpack the kernel source here
modify Makefile, Find the CFLAGS_MODULE line, add -fno-pic this flag to the end of the line: CFLAGS_MODULE = -fno-pic
$ zcat /proc/config.gz > .config
$ make oldconfig
modify .config or use "make menuconfig"
$ make -j5 modules
$ make modules_install
$ depmod -a

Module: ah4.ko
+CONFIG_TUN=m
http://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/TUN.html
TUN/TAP provides packet reception and transmission for user space programs. It can be viewed as a simple Point-to-Point or Ethernet device, which instead of receiving packets from a physical media, receives them from user space program and instead of sending packets via physical media writes them to the user space program.

Module: iforce.ko
+CONFIG_CIFS=m
+CONFIG_CRYPTO_MD4=m
This is the client VFS module for the Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocol which is the successor to the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol, the native file sharing mechanism for most early PC operating systems. The CIFS protocol is fully supported by file servers such as Windows 2000 (including Windows 2003, NT 4 and Windows XP) as well by Samba (which provides excellent CIFS server support for Linux and many other operating systems). Limited support for OS/2 and Windows ME and similar servers is provided as well.
Module: cifs.ko md4.ko
ChangeLog:
v4:
cfq-iosched.ko
deadline-iosched.ko
v3:
added cifs.ko
v2:
stripped the modules from the debug symbols, package is much smaller now
Version 2 now a lot smaller, because the debugging symbols have been removed.
added cifs.ko
Could you attach the .config you're using?
Thanks

It's in the zip-file ... "config.txt"
Any list as to what each of these new driver modules included goes with? are these like controller drivers or different/new USB drivers not included on stock prime. just trying to find out what each of them go to.
kind of surprised to see:
# CONFIG_CRYPTO_DEV_TEGRA_AES is not set
My initial looking indicates that unless that's baked in, android might not make use of it
I'll research a bit more tho.
Should be useful when we can get custom ROMs in the oven!

Did you explicitly use the NDK to cross-compile? Or did the package from Asus just work?

Since Asus had only release .7 kernel version, I assume this would not be with source from latest ota.
I plan to try it on .11ota. Have anyone successfully use it on latest ota?

Yeah, you can "make modules_install; depmod -a" and afterwards you can "modprobe" any modules without thinking about the dependencies

Is this thread about finding/compiling drivers for things so that they will work when plugged into the usb port on the keyboard dock? If so how would I go about making this usb headset work?

# dmesg | tail -20

I have script that I want to make sure works on Mac OS X.
Could anyone test it for me?
Download here. Thanks.
Run it by:
Code:
chmod +x
./test
It's just a simple user input
Script output should be somewhat like this:
Code:
Enter input: [COLOR="SeaGreen"]XDA[/COLOR]
You typed: [COLOR="SeaGreen"]XDA[/COLOR]
What's the script do? I don't think most people want to just run a random script without knowing what it's purpose is.

I'm not 100% sure but I'm fairly sure that won't work on OSX ( I could be wrong ) you need to compile for Darwin which is what OSX is.
works great on linux tho

Hacking Acer Chromebook C720P -
using...
Node and NPM on Chromebook (Chrome OS) - very inconsistent material & literature on it - could not make it install properly so far - /thread https://yoember.com/nodejs/the-best-way-to-install-node-js/
This command to get npm working
sudo mount -i -o remount,exec /home/chronos/user
(presupposes r/w system)
The purpose - getting further capabilities without having to buy a newer Chromebook - & without having to change or hack the underlying original Chrome OS which uses Linux Kernel 3.8 -
I will be posting some of the results here - & others associated to using crouton with xiwi...
Instructions:
cd ~/Downloads
sudo mount -i -o remount,exec /home/chronos/user

[ -s "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" # This loads nvm bash_completion
command -v nvm
nvm list
nvm ls-remote
nvm install 10.9.0
nvm use 10.9.0
nvm alias default 10.9.0

Crouton, xiwi, Linux, arcwelder & other resources...
In here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77252924&postcount=71
I posted how to get Skype working without Android, because Android in Chromebook Acer CB C720P does not support USB host mode, so we cannot have usb webcams from within Android.
However USB Webcam works in hacked & non hacked Chromebook with UVC.
So using crouton & a Linux distro allows to get Skype with webcam fully working, also with xiwi in a window in Chrome OS.
I tried to get Android Skype working using an apk through arcwelder with no success - versions below 5 load but redirects to install newer versions, disallow operating.
Latest version like 7 or 8 would not load through arc welder.
& I bumped onto chromeos-apk.
To use chromeos-apk to install Android apps, one needs npm, so this is how it led me to node.js -
Run Android Apps in Chrome OS OR Chrome in OS X, Linux and Windows.
https://github.com/vladikoff/chromeos-apk
with (in the downloaded chromeos-apk-master folder from above vladikoff git)
npm install chromeos-apk -g
or
sudo npm install chromeos-apk -g
& you should get something similar to this -
[email protected] ~/Downloads $ cd chromeos-apk-master
[email protected] ~/Downloads/chromeos-apk-master $ npm install chromeos-apk -g
/home/chronos/user/.nvm/versions/node/v10.8.0/bin/chromeos-apk -> /home/chronos/user/.nvm/versions/node/v10.8.0/lib/node_modules/chromeos-apk/chromeos-apk
+ [email protected]
added 13 packages from 6 contributors in 8.137s
Note - I used v10.8.0 of node.js - but v10.9.0 should work same.
Usage
Run chromeos-apk [path to apk file]
... tbc/...
chromeos-apk results
Results not encouraging - any apk I submitted so far to chromeos-apk leads to the error: (it creates an unpacked extension to load from chrome://extensions)
Failed to load extension
File
~/Downloads/org.xbmc.kodi.android
Error
There is no "message" element for key extName.
Could not load manifest.
waste of time?
I guess, I learnt how to install node.js & npm
Result - news -
It depends on the apk version, for instance
Es File Explorer version es-file-explorer-4-1-7-1-28.apk installs OK using either Arc Welder or chromeos-apk...
latest versions do not -
(also tested on Asus Chromebit CS10 which is Arm 32bit)
this is a battle of wits between Google developers, & independent developers - Google sabotages community efforts for obvious reasons, stay in control.
Dual Boot ChromeOS with Linux or Windows!
Update 1: This thread has been fully rewritten for Windows too!
Update 2: Added Steps for Arch Based Distros!
This guide will tell you how you can dual boot ChromeOS with Linux or Windows! This guide is based on the official GitHub page!

AboutChromeOS, is an Operating system based on Gentoo Linux and designed by Google based on the ChromiumOS an open source project but unlike that ChromeOS is not open source, ChromeOS uses Google API and has intergrated Google Apps and Google Chrome as its interface! It also supports android apps!
Why chromeOS ? ChromeOS is a very smooth OS unlike other Android-x86 projects it is a fully functional and powerful OS, though it is not an ideal choice for gaming because it does not support the keymapping function. But if it ever gets Key Mapping there is no better option for running android for your PC other than chromeOS
Brunch, To keep it short and simple brunch is a framework which can help you to run ChromeOS on your Device even if its not a chromebook!
Requierments
• qs-x86_64 based computer with UEFI boot support (you can check that just search on google if you don’t know)
◦ With MBR patch your MBR/Legacy device might be supported
• Administrator Permissions
• Should have an Intel CPU (check conditions for that too)
◦ Intel 1st gen Core are supported only till ChromeOS 81 (This release may not be available anymore)
◦ Atom, Celeron and Pentium processors are supported since Baytrail and later versions!
• AMD Ryzen and AMD Stoney Ridge are supported, but it is limited
• Nvidia GPUs are not supported (if you have one then its ok, but ChromeOS won’t detect it)
• No Virtual Machines (VMs) are supported
• ARM CPUs are not supported at all, No luck guys
• Intel Core 2 Duo and older CPUs are not supported
Now if you are supported then Great! Lets move on!
DOWNLOADS
NOTE: you can even download the eve image which is the best as its the official Pixelbook recovery, but remember the boot chances are less with that so If you don't have time/data download from the below images
Intel CPUs
• If your CPU is 10th and 11th gen open this Link note the versions and proceed to download from HERE but before read below
◦ 11th gen and some 10th gen CPUs may need kernel 5.10
• If your CPU is 1st gen to 9th gen then after opening this Link, note the versions and proceed to download from HERE and before downloading read below,
Stable Builds
For daily and frequent use [Recommeneded for average users],
these builds are reliable and are pretty stable for day-to-day use and are recommended.
Beta Builds
Good for daily use and more Beta features [Recommended],
these builds are pretty stable and relaible with a few more Beta features and just a few bugs. These are recommended and also if the stable build is not availible.
Dev Builds
Buggy and more features [Power users only, Not Recommended],
these builds are not very stable and are buggy but have more features! Not recommended for daily use. These builds are ideal for developers who want to test out some features (Liveboot)
Canary Builds
Unstable! Experimental feaatures! [NOT Recommended][DEVs ONLY],
These builds have a lot of bugs but the most of the features! These builds are not intended for average users and are only for testing.
AMD CPUs
• For Stoney Ridge and Bristol Ridge Click Here but before read the above info carefully
and proceed to download from HERE
• For Ryzen Click here but read above before downloading then carefully
and proceed to download from HERE
• for Ryzen 4xxx devices you need kernel 5.10
As of I am writing this I have an Intel 10th gen CPU and the Stable builds are unavailable so I will be downloading the BETA Build which are quite stable too!
Now we have to also download Brunch, download the latest stable version from HERE
LINUX
Prerequisites,
• You should be on a Linux Distro
• Root access
• Atleast 16gb storage you can give to the OS
• Your PC should support Brunch
• Some basics of linux terminal (if not I recommend to learn because this helps in troubleshooting problems)
• Grub2 Bootloader
Preparing the Environment
Now open Terminal by Ctrl+Alt+T
and run,
Lets enable super user permissions using the following command
Bash:
sudo su
Enter password if it asks and hit enter
Debian based Distros:
Its a good thing to update and upgrade the packages by running this command,
Bash:
sudo apt update && upgrade
Lets install the required packages the command below will install pv, tar, unzip, cgpt and gparted,
Bash:
sudo apt install pv tar unzip cgpt gparted
Arch Based Distros:
Bash:
sudo pacman -Syu pv tar unzip gparted && yay -S cgpt
Side Notes
____________________________________________________________________________________
pv,
Pipe Viewer, known as pv is a package which allows the user for the monitering of data being sent through pipe, it helps the user by giving them a visual display
Tar,
tape archive. Known as tar is used to create and extract archive files in the format of .tar, .tar.gz etc...
Cgpt,
Cgpt is a tool to manipulate GUID Partition Table from command line. It also supports ChromiumOS extentions
Gparted,
Gparted is an Advanced disk manager, its simple yet powerful UI makes it easier to create, delete or modify any partition!
Unzip
unzip command simply extracts zip files!
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Now lets go into Documents using the cd command cd simply means change directory
Bash:
cd Documents
Now lets create a new folder and open that to keep things clean and tidy
mkdir command means make directory (make folder) and cd is change to directory
Bash:
mkdir ChromeOS && cd ChromeOS
now cut/move the downloaded files to documents/ChromeOS from your file manager
Installation
Now we will extract the tar.gz archive using tar we previously downloaded! Tar calles the command to run tar and zxvf is to extract the file in format of tar.gz
Bash:
tar zxvf brunch_ filename.tar.gz
Replace the brunch_filename.tar.gz from your actual bruch file’s name
now we also want to extract the chromeos zip file this file can be extracted by using the unzip command!
Bash:
unzip chromeos_ filename.bin.zip
Replace the chromeos_filename.bin.zip from your actual chromeOS file’s name
once done
if you already have an empty disk and are deciding to use that for installation then just check these things:
the partition should be ext4 or ntfs (ext4 recommended)
if not or if you don’t know what partition is it then
1. open Gparted and if under the file system your partion shows ext4 then close Gparted and if not then
2. right click the patition then
3. select format to and
4. select ext4 after that
5. click the ✓ logo and proceed after that
6. close Gparted.
If you don’t have a free partition or you want to create a different partition then,
minimize terminal and open Gparted (if you ran the first command it is automatically installed).
1. Now open Gparted and
2. Resize your storage and free up 16-100 gb of storage, to do that right click the partition you want to give storage from,
3. Click on the resize/move and
4. In the Free space following (MiB) text box enter the amount of storage you want to give to chromeOS in MB and click resize,
5. now you will notice a new space created called unallocated right click on it then click on new.
6. Now select Create as Primary Partion and File System: ext4 and click add! Now again click the ✓ Icon and proceed.
Also in Gparted note the name of your ChromeOS partition below the “Partition” table
for eg: /dev/sda11, /dev/mmcblk0p5 or /dev/nvme0n1p4
now open terminal,
now we will create a new mountpoint for that we will create a new directory using mkdir. The ~ is a symbol of your home directory so ~/tmpmount actually means home/tmpmount!
Bash:
mkdir -p ~/tmpmount
Now its time to mount the partition at the mountpoint
now this command will mount your partition named dev/partion to tmpmount!
Bash:
sudo mount /dev/partition ~/tmpmount
here replace the ‘partition’ to your partition name you saw in Gparted
Now
as we did before replace the chromeos_filename.bin to your actual file’s name and also replace the size from the amount of storage you want to give to chromeOS, minimum 16gb maximum your choice.
This command runs the chromeos-install.sh file in bash this file runs the installer! With the source (-src) being chromeos.bin file and the destination (-dst) being ~/tmpmount/chromeos.img and the size (-s) is what you desire
Bash:
sudo bash chromeos-install.sh -src chromeos_filename.bin -dst ~/tmpmount/chromeos.img -s size
Now if it asks for confirmation then type yes in the prompt
Now after it is over you should see something like this:

*******************************************************************
Now copy the text similar to this from your terminal and paste it in a notes app or save it somewhere.
Now the end is near!
Now run this command which will copy the given
Bash:
sudo cp /etc/grub.d/40_custom /etc/grub.d/99_brunch
Running this command will open the nano text editor to edit these files,
Bash:
sudo nano /etc/grub.d/99_brunch
Now a file will open,
1. Now paste the text you copied before in a new line
2. then press Ctrl+X then type y to save it and hit enter
Now lastly run,
Debian:
Bash:
sudo update-grub
and
Bash:
sudo update-grub2
Arch:
Bash:
sudo pacman -Syu
this will update your grub configuration!
Now for those who have secure boot enabled you will have to follow some extra steps.
Now there are 2 ways:
• Way 1 [run if Way 2 does not work]: Go to BIOS Setup and simply disable SecureBoot and boot into ChromeOS
• Way 2 [Recomended]: Download the file from this link and paste the file in the ChromeOS folder
open terminal and run:
Bash:
cd Documents/ChromeOS
Bash:
sudo mokutil --import brunch.der
and thats it!
Windows
Prerequesites,
• Administrator access
• you have to give atleast 16gb to ChromeOS minimum, the disk should be
bitlocker disabled, and the format should be NTFS
• Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL2) or use Cygwin
• pv, tar, unzip and cgpt should be installed
• Basic Linux command knowledge
Preparing the Linux Environment
• For windows 10 and 11 users
Open Powershell and run
Code:
wsl –install
thats it
NOTE: You must be running Windows 10 version 2004 and higher (Build 19041 and higher) or Windows 11.
• for Windows 7 & 8/8.1 (works for windows 10 and 11 too)
Download and install Cygwin from HERE
after this run the CygWin terminal (for CygWin users) and for WSL2 users launch it!
Preparing Environment
And run this
Bash:
sudo apt update && sudo apt -y install pv cgpt tar unzip
If the process ends with errors then run this:
Bash:
sudo add-apt-repository universe
and run
Bash:
sudo apt update && sudo apt -y install pv cgpt tar unzip
Installation
Bash:
cd /mnt/c/Users/username/Downloads
Here replace the username by your actual username
Now run,
Bash:
tar zxvf brunch_filename.tar.gz
replace the brunch_filename.tar.gz from the real filename
Now run,
Bash:
unzip chromeos_filename.bin.zip
Here replace chromeos_filename.bin.zip from the actual filename (cmon you know the drill)
Now run,
Bash:
mkdir /mnt/c/Users/username/brunch
Again replace the username from the real username (if you want to install it in C disk)
Run,
Bash:
mkdir /mnt/d/brunch
(if you want to install in Disk D)
Now run,
Bash:
sudo bash chromeos-install.sh -src chromeos_filename.bin -dst /mnt/c/Users/username/brunch/chromeos.img -s size
Here replace chromeos_filename.bin from the real one, and replace size from the storage you want to provide (give atleast 16 gb)
Now Install Grub2Win from HERE
and run it
then click on the Manage Boot Menu and then add a new entry
Select the create user section from the type section.
Now open chromeos.grub.txt saved earlier, it will be in the same directory and copy the grub boot entries saved in that file and copy them to Grub2win
then click Ok and Apply to save the entries into Grub2win
To prevent windows from locking the NTFS partition I recommend you to switch off secureboot!
Troubleshoot
ChromeOS boot fix
this fix includes:
• Grub bootloader does not show up
• PC/Laptop directly boots into the MainOS
• the menu boot time is too short
• etc
Now there is a common issue where you have installed ChromeOS but the grub menu does not show up and your PC directly boots into the MainOS (Windows/Linux) these steps will help you fix it!
open terminal and run
Bash:
sudo apt install gedit
this will install Gedit
Gedit
is a simple text editor which is commonly used to edit system files
next run,
Bash:
sudo gedit /etc/default/grub
This will open a text document in gedit
If it asks for password then type it
Now the usual default format of the text document is like this:
# If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update
# /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
# For full documentation of the options in this file, see:
# info -f grub -n 'Simple configuration'
GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=hidden
GRUB_TIMEOUT=0
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
# Uncomment to enable BadRAM filtering, modify to suit your needs
# This works with Linux (no patch required) and with any kernel that obtains
# the memory map information from GRUB (GNU Mach, kernel of FreeBSD ...)
#GRUB_BADRAM="0x01234567,0xfefefefe,0x89abcdef,0xefefefef"
# Uncomment to disable graphical terminal (grub-pc only)
#GRUB_TERMINAL=console
# The resolution used on graphical terminal
# note that you can use only modes which your graphic card supports via VBE
# you can see them in real GRUB with the command `vbeinfo'
#GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480
# Uncomment if you don't want GRUB to pass "root=UUID=xxx" parameter to Linux
#GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true
# Uncomment to disable generation of recovery mode menu entries
#GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true"
# Uncomment to get a beep at grub start
#GRUB_INIT_TUNE="480 440 1"
Now you will see GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=hidden
here replace the hidden from menu
next
in GRUB_TIMEOUT=0 change 0 from any number this is for how many seconds the grub menu should be visible, I recommend replacing 0 from 30.
thats it! save the file and run the command:
Bash:
sudo update-grub
and
Bash:
sudo update-grub2
Reboot now you should be able to see chromeOS in your menu!

Added tutorial for windows!
Cygwin uses less data (and storage space) than the WSL route, right?
Also from what I understand there's no need to setup a dedicated partition for brunch? I had used Puppy Linux earlier where the file system could be located in a folder.
Edit: Cygwin does indeed use very little data no more than 30MB downloaded in the default config.
Edit2: Couldn't run the commands in Cygwin. Some error about sudo not being found. WSL2 was easy to install and didn't take more than 500MB data.
