Busybox on Rooted HTC Desire w/ Android 2.2 Froyo

Leave a reply

Install Titanium Backup and use it to install busybox.
Boot into Recovery. If using clockworkmod, be sure to mount system and data. Using the Android SDK, from the command line, run this stuff:

adb shell
cp /data/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup/files/busybox /system/xbin/busybox
chmod 755 /system/xbin/busybox
./busybox --install -s /system/xbin

Enable External Mail on Ubuntu

First, install the appropriate packages:

sudo apt-get install mailutils

Configure Exim for external mail:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config

Options:

  • mail sent by smarthost; no local mail
  • FQDN of the system
  • 127.0.0.1  (This will prevent external use of the server to send mail.)
  • localhost; hostname
  • FQDN of the system
  • External (ISP) SMTP server
  • Dial-on-Demand? No
  • Split config? No
  • Root/postmaster recipient: (enter the email address you wish to receive messages sent to root/postmaster on the system).

The root/postmaster recipient is stored in /etc/aliases

The Exim configuration is stored in /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf.  To apply configuration manually changed in this file, run:

sudo update-exim4.conf
sudo /etc/init.d/exim4 restart

Actual Exim configuration is stored in /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated. Don’t edit this file directly.

This was tested on Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid)
