Two related changes that ship together because they touch the same
build-script + docs surface and were verified together on-device.
16 KiB alignment
- zygisk/build.rs: pass `-Wl,-z,max-page-size=16384` to lld so the
cdylib's LOAD segments line up on 16 KiB pages. NDK r28+ already
does this by default, but the flag keeps r27 builds compatible.
- lsposed/native/build.rs: new file, same flag, for libvpnhide_checks.so.
- docs/development.md: bumped the NDK requirement to r28+ and noted
the 16 KiB rationale.
Verified via `llvm-readelf -l`: both libvpnhide_zygisk.so and
libvpnhide_checks.so now show `Align 0x4000` on every LOAD segment.
Unified build entry points
- kmod/build.py replaces kmod/build-zip.py. Single script that
auto-detects whether to build natively (we're inside the DDK image
or `--kdir` was passed) or to spawn `ghcr.io/ylarod/ddk-min` via
podman/docker. CI uses the same script with `--inside-container`.
- zygisk/build-zip.py renamed to zygisk/build.py for symmetry; logic
unchanged.
- kmod/BUILDING.md rewritten — local build is now one command:
`./kmod/build.py --kmi android14-6.1` (or `--all`). The old
hand-rolled podman/docker recipes are gone.
- .github/workflows/ci.yml updated to call the new entry points.
The DDK image tag in CI now has a comment pointing at
`DDK_IMAGE_TAG` in kmod/build.py as the source of truth.
- README.{md,en.md}, kmod/README.md, zygisk/README.md, docs/releasing.md,
scripts/build_lib.py: reference updates.
- README.en.md: also fixes a "bacame" typo and tightens the Windows
zygisk-build note (the aux.rs / libgit2 issue is still real).
Verified end-to-end on Pixel 8 Pro (husky, android14-6.1, Android 16):
APK installs, kmod + zygisk modules load, all 26 self-checks PASS in
Enforcing, 22/26 PASS in Permissive (the same 4 by-design FAILs as
before — kmod doesn't cover those paths in Permissive).
Six unrelated drift fixes that accumulated since they were last
synced. Each is independent of the rest:
* README{.en,}.md — kmod claim "filters /proc/net/*" trimmed to
/proc/net/route. The other /proc/net files are SELinux-blocked
for untrusted apps and the coverage table already says so.
* kmod/README.md — hook table and architecture note updated from
dev_ifconf to sock_ioctl. dev_ifconf gets inlined by Clang LTO
on GKI 5.10 so the kretprobe silently never fires; sock_ioctl
has been the actual hook target since the vpnhide_kmod.c fix.
* zygisk/README.md — five inline hooks now, not four (recv was
added separately because bionic's recv tail-calls recvfrom).
Also clarified pre_app_specialize runs in the forked child, not
zygote, matching the lifecycle block in lib.rs.
* docs/development.md — JDK requirement matches CI image (17, not
21); document ANDROID_NDK_ROOT quirk for Gobley; CI lint list
expanded to match what ci.yml actually runs.
* docs/development.md + lsposed/README.md — explain Gobley (the
Gradle plugin pair that builds lsposed/native/ and bundles the
.so + UniFFI Kotlin bindings into the APK). Previously absent
from all *.md.
Audit pass: every user-facing mention of "restart" or "reboot" now
states explicitly which thing — the device, the VPN Hide app, or the
target apps — needs the action. A few were ambiguous (especially the
banner text + module-card subtitles around `selfNeedsRestart`, which
just said "restart the app" without saying which one).
UI strings (EN + RU):
- banner_added_self / dashboard_needs_restart: "Restart VPN Hide
(force-stop and reopen) … no device reboot needed".
- dashboard_installed_restart_app: "Installed, restart VPN Hide to
activate" (the Zygisk module-card subtitle, shown when VPN Hide
just added itself to its own targets).
- dashboard_reboot_needed: "Device reboot needed" (LSPosed module
card subtitle).
- dashboard_issue_version_mismatch: "Reboot the device to apply…".
- vpn_off_prompt: "Results are cached until VPN Hide is restarted"
(was "for the rest of this app session" — now names the app
explicitly).
README.en.md:
- Step 1.3 / Step 2 final lines say "Reboot the device".
Rename README.ru.md -> README.md and the previous README.md -> README.en.md.
Target audience is primarily Russian-speaking. Update language-switcher
links in both files.
