Enable Developer options
In Android 4.2 and later, developer options are disabled by default. To enable them, go to About Phone, and tap "Build Version" seven times. Now there's a "Developer options" in your settings, which can enable things like
- USB debugging (for use with the Android SDK),
- an advanced reboot menu, and
- hard-killing apps with a back button long-press.
Installing the CACert root certificate
The root certificate:
wget https://www.cacert.org/certs/root.crt cat root.crt > 5ed36f99.0 openssl x509 -inform PEM -text -in root.crt -out /dev/null >> 5ed36f99.0
Rinse-and-repeat for the Class 3 certificate:
wget https://www.cacert.org/certs/class3.crt cat class3.crt > e5662767.0 openssl x509 -inform PEM -text -in class3.crt -out /dev/null >> e5662767.0
Copy these two files onto your phone, then on your phone using the Terminal app:
su mount -o remount,rw /system cd /system/etc/security/cacerts/ cp /sdcard/5ed36f99.0 /sdcard/e5662767.0 . chown root:root 5ed36f99.0 e5662767.0 chmod 644 5ed36f99.0 e5662767.0
Then reboot your phone.
Or use the Android SDK
If you can't be arsed typing all that into a terminal on your phone, fair enough, it's quite tedious. Instead, you can use the Android SDK to copy shit to your phone and run a shell:
~/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools/adb push e5662767.0 /sdcard/ ~/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools/adb push 5ed36f99.0 /sdcard/ ~/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools/adb shell
Then type it here instead. You'll need to enable USB debugging first, which is a developer feature (See above.)
