Connect Joystick to play games on android


All most all of the android v4.0 and higher tablets are USB host enabled and comes with kernel modules of  ps3/xbox joystick etc but i had a cheap chinese made USB joystick (DragonRise gamepad) which i wanted to connect and play games with on my momo9 tablet with CM10 and there was no kernel module available for my requirement so here is my story how i compiled kernel module.

Prerequisites
  1. Requires a root access.
  2. Joystick and micro USB OTG cable.
  3. Android Terminal emulator and busybox.
First i verified that the joystick is being detected as a USB device using the lsusb command. I connected the joystick to the tablet using a micro USB OTG cable and run lsusb.

Then i started searching for the kernel module of my joystick and found many versions of generic joydev.ko but none of them were compatible for my device. When i used dmesg command to determine the cause for one of such module i found that the mismatch of vermagic which means that an android (linux) kernel module can be loaded only if it is compiled for the same linux version and if it is compiled for the CPU. Using uname -a command i found the linux kernel version and CPU which powers my android.


Once the kernel version is determined i again google for kernel module of my joystick which are build for my kernel and CPU but i was not able to find joystick kernel module for my momo9c with CM10 so i downloaded allwinner kernel source from https://github.com/christiantroy/linux-allwinner and the Sourcery CodeBench Lite edition from http://www.mentor.com/embedded-software/sourcery-tools/sourcery-codebench/editions/lite-edition/ and then compiled the kernel module. I compiled the kernel module on Backtrack5 virtual machine using following commands

make ARCH=arm sun4i_crane_defconfig
make menuconfig ARCH=arm 
make modules ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/sourcery-arm-toolchain/bin/arm-none-eabi-



Then i moved the compiled module hid-dr.ko to the tablet to /system/modules/lib and loaded the module using insmod command and verified the new input joystick device using ls -l /dev/js? command. At last i downloaded a generic USB joystick android keylayout file for the joystick and moved it into the /system/usr/keylayout directoy.


Then i configured input devices and key mappings in nesoid emulator and started playing my favorite game on tablet with joystick. Though i have not tested but i am sure that if two joysticks are connected using USB OTG cable and USB Hub then multi-player games can also be played.

 

My compiled hid-dr.ko kernel module for Linux 3.0.36+ and the keylayout file can be downloaded from
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/48560079/joystick_hid_dr.zip contains hid-dr.ko and Vendor_0079_Product_0006.kl files.

Happy gaming!!! and enjoy :)

Peformance improvement tweaks for CM10


On my momo9c i have CM10 but there were few performance issue. After some analysis i found that there were certain kernel modules which were not relevant to my needs or my device so i decided to remove them using following commands

#Remove ethernet modules
rmmod asix
rmmod mcs7830
rmmod qf9700
rmmod rtl8150
rmmod usbnet
rmmod gt2005

Also there minfree parameter were inappropriate for 512 MB which were making background application/services get kill by the lowmemorykiller module and making user experiance worst. I adjusted the minfree parameters of lowmemorykiller module using

#Adjust OOM minfree parameters
echo "1024,2048,4096,8192,10240,51200" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree

Currently I have consolidated these commands into a scripts (download myinit.sh) and i run the script after every boot but in future i will add a post to move them into /system/etc/init.local.rc or modify the init.rc and init.sun4i.rc.
 

Android Auto Hathway Authentication


Here it is, my first android app and the first version of AHA. The application is not yet published on android Play Store but will be added in future. As of now it can be downloaded from my dropbox

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/48560079/AHA_Driod/AHA_Test_Signed_Aligned.apk

Here are the few screen shots

When wifi is enabled and if hathway modem is detected by the AHA then AHA will automatically authenticates you into the hathway network whenever required.


Use the setting screen to define your hathway user id and password.


Hack Facebook user's Id and Password added in android Subway Surfer


Many android users who likes to play the renowned game Subway Surfer keeps their facebook account added in the game to compete with their friends. When the user account is added in subway surfer the facebook credentials are stored in a sqlite database by the subway surfer game without any encryption. So a potential attacker can easily determine the victims facebook account user id and password using following commands

su
sqlite3 /data/data/com.kiloo.subwaysurf/databases/webview.db
select username,password from password;
quit;

So beware and think twice before adding your facebook account in Subway Surfer or rather any unsafe application.

DOS Variable substring

To substring a string variable in Dos use following syntax.

%variable name:~N,L%

where
variable name = any variable with a string value
N = Zero based index from which the substring should be started.
L = Length of substring. If ommited full string from starting index is returned.

The substring can be very usefull in dos specially when we want to format Date. e.g. if we want to take the first two character of string

set alpha = abcdefghi
echo value of variable is = %alpha%
echo substring value is =  %alpha:~0,6%

Output:

value of variable is = abcdefghi
substring value is = abcdef
