OpenVPN setup:
mount -o remount,rw /system
Requires a manual installation To perform a manual installation you will require a root explorer such as Root Browser.
Navigate to "/data/app/de.schaeuffelhut.android.openvpn.installer-1.apk/assets"
copy the file "openvpn-2.1.1-static-busyboxinsbin" to "/system/xbin".
Afterwards rename the file to "openvpn"
and set its permission to "rwxr-xr-x".
Finally open the Openvpn Settings and it should detect the installation correctly.

Fix for Titanium Backup "Insufficient free storage space" (not writable)
edit /etc/permissions/platform.xml
change:

<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
</permission>

Add the media_rw group:
<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
<group gid="media_rw" />
</permission> 

Then reboot the device.

I have to use this once in a while and I keep forgetting it.
