chromeos-apk and piratebox for android
September 25, 2014 10:00PM
hi

what would it take to adapt the piratbox for android so that it could work on chrome using chromeos-apk? [github.com]

i have packaged piratebox for android as chrome zip file using [forum.xda-developers.com] and progam launches but fails when switching on with
the dnsmasq wrapper returned an error. the piratebox may not work properly

getting this to work on a laptop using chrome would be great smiling smiley

thanks

Hi,

seems like the dnsmasq backup was not created correctly.
You can check that by issuing the following command:

ls -l /system/bin/dnsmasq*

The following file should be listed:
dnsmasq.pb.backup

If the file is not there you can try to create it manuallly:

cd /system/bin
cp -p dnsmasq dnsmasq.pb.backup

Hi,

The APK does not include the dnsmasq command, it has to be provided by the system.
Chrome OS has to support Android WiFi tethering (which uses the dansmasq command).
I doubt that this will work ...
