firefox

How can I install firefox on linux?

I tried sudo apt-get install firefox but that doesn't work.

Do I have to manually download it?
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] skymera:
Debian uses a free version of Firefox called iceweasel.

apt-get update

apt-get install iceweasel

oops thanked your post by mistake xD

you can run the command on the terminal / adb shell in su mode, to see if your busybox support all the command (losetup, mknod etc).

I had this working on HD2, and the developer stated that it might work on other devices, however the ones he listed were other htc phones, I'm wondering if anyone has tried this on the SGS2?

Edit:

As is, it won't boot up on an SGS2 running Litening 2.0 and CF KG1.

Thanks Sancher. I think I am making some mistake in replacing the xorg.conf file to the package and thats why I cant get it right.

Could someone explain the actual steps to replace the conf file from system with this file??
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] Sancher:
Well, you can just download it in debian using browser(if default browser doesn`t work you can install iceweasel using terminal and virtual keyboard. Just open terminal and type: aptitude install iceweasel). Then put it instead of original one which is situated at etc/X11 folder of debian File System using File Manager.

Or you can copy&paste it to original one using virtual keyboard))

Maybe there are another way to do it, I`m not sure.

HD2 ToolBox Android v4.1+ compatibility..

Has anyone been able to successfully use the HD2 ToolBox on android v 4.1 (JellyBean) and above versions in NativeSD ROMS??

For me, on installing the HD2 ToolBox its gets installed, but after setting up HBL the phone reboots being stuck on HTC logo (splash screen after MAGLDR) and android doesn't load ever and I have to reinstall the ROM. However, the app works fine on Android 2.3.5 or 2.3.7 versions of NativeSD ROMs.

Any suggestions how to use the HD2 ToolBox in Android 4.1+ versions??
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] Sancher:
Try to install live dmesg lite before installing HBL. I dont know why, but it helps:laugh:

For me - this tool(HD2ToolBox) is the best realization of Linux on HD2. I dont understand why it is abandoned and not being developed. I was able to use GIMP, iceweasel, nodejs and many more on it. It works fast and smooth without need to use VNC.

The only problem - interface is not very touch-friendly. If someone made touch-friendly interface like Ubuntu Phone and placed here, it would be PERFECT!!!
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] james.carter:
Still stuck on 'Loading Linux'

Thanks for guiding Sancher.. Installing 'live dmesg (v3.0)' got me through the successful installation of HBL. But now clicking 'Start linux on local screen' keeps displaying 'Loading Linux' and so I ain't able to boot up linux even now.. :confused:

Can you suggest any specific android 4.1+ ROM which supports HBL or may be the ROM you are using currently to run HBL.. :)
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] Sancher:
I'm using this one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1934000 on NAND without sd-ext or swap and without any app2sd app and other apps like app2sd. I tried to use it with installed app2sd(or similar, I don't remember exactly the name of the app) once and it didn't work. Then I reinstalled ROM without any of those hacks and it worked.
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] dan1j3l:
I didn't know this app is still used, project is not abandoned I just didn't have enough time to work on it. I'll create more universal version of this app (more android versions/os-es compatibility).
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] Sancher:
Thanx!!! This app was more useful 2 years ago than Ubuntu Mobile developer-preview now.

I think the main reason why not many people use it - it was hard to configure(xorg.conf I configured by myself in 2 days of searching\changing\reloading) + it doesn't want to work without installed dmesg lite(that was almost impossible to find out, I found it out almost by random) and it has some problems with ext or app2sd (not sure).

Sorry for deleting GIMP video - should I upload it again? It worked VERY smooth and fast. And there was no need of using slow VNC manipulation.

After updating to long awaited Android 2.3 gingerbread, what are the difference people have noticed in changing from android froyo 2.2?

All what were the pro & cons in your mind.

Anyone else experience this? Please give ur views & feedback.

Greetings.

I have noticed that my Desire Z gets some ghosting/bleeding when looking at high contrast images. In the images I have included the gray area next to the black and white bars get noticably lighter than the rest of the background, although they are the same color. It looks like there is a light bar the same size as the black and white bars, although there is no color difference in the gray. Could someone check if this is a problem with the devices, or just a problem with my phone?

[Verizon Droid Charge] Homestar1217:
I am not currently rooted and I'm running a completely stock EE4 Charge. I'm interested in the Voodoo lagfix, and I was wondering if there is a way to apply it without root. I know on his project website it says you can on the Galaxy S and these aren't quite Galaxy S phones so I don't want to try it and cause problems I don't know how to fix. I had an HD2 and briefly experimented with flashing on that phone but I understand it's a totally different experience with these so I'm pretty much a total noob again. I'd rather not flash a rom if I don't have to, and I have no need for root so that seems like an unnecessary step for me as well. I like the rom that comes stock I just wish it was faster, so Voodoo seems like the best answer!

I did search about it and I found no results, so here I am begging for your help.

I am running a GTX ROM and it is perfect, except that the chef that cooked in the ROM the keypad where you enter your PIN number having almost black numeric keys and with black numbers, so you have to guess which button is what number, because you are not able to read the numbers at all.

I wonder if any of you have a cab of the original PIN keypad, or if somebody will kind enough to teach me how I can edit the skin of that keypad.

Thanks,

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robotukas:
I made mistake that tried to change HBOOT. I made HBOOT to Bravo CM7	130M	5M. By instruction. Why I do this, because I wanted to install proper rom like InsertCoin CM7 HBOOT/STOCK 1.0.5. I done all instructions and my phone is Bravo.

But I can't install this rom InsertCoin CM7 HBOOT/STOCK 1.0.5 in the end. Why You writing instructions which it only damage phone and only is time waisting.

This text:

"E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted."

When I trying to install any rom. Even my backup doesn't work anymore.

Like Guide this:

1) Nandroid backup in recovery.

2) Verify the MD5SUM of the file you downloaded against the one in the table.

3) Flash HBOOT with your phone in fastboot mode (Back+POWER) -> 'fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl.img' (change into the correct filename for the HBOOT you downloaded)

4) 'fastboot reboot-bootloader'

5) 'fastboot erase cache'

6) Boot recovery, wipe everything and restore.

For experienced people. I never so two two lines in my life:

4) 'fastboot reboot-bootloader' (in my phone is "REBOOT BOOTLOADER")

5) 'fastboot erase cache' (this thing I didn't see in my life)

And my HBOOT is:

AlphaRev CM7

BRAVO PVT3 SHIP S-OFF

HBOOT-0.93.1000

MICROP-051d

RADIO-5.11.05.27

How can write this thing ( 4) 'fastboot reboot-bootloader' 5) 'fastboot erase cache'), when it doesn't exist.

I very disappointed XDA developers. Before posting, test all things in various situations. Give all info, not only who making roms. If You lazy to explain nice, better don't post.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rutgerhoorn:
I guess only your first sentence makes sense...

You made a mistake, did something wrong or didn't read things well. Just take it easy and try again, read everything carefully and learn!

Good luck, hope it'll work out!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Turn off signature checking in recovery, as said in the first post of the InsertCoin guide ;)

As for the guide from the AlphaRev site, it makes perfect sense if you actually know what you're doing and know how to use adb/fastboot commands

You need to go away and read some more before you break your phone
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kareemsamman:
Relax dude!

Try reading everything slowly and carefully and write notes on a paper so you won't mess up.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robotukas:
It doesn't work for me. I tried all things before to happen. With Unorevoke work good, but lack of space was. So I changed to HBOOT to CM7, but after this any roms doesn't work. I can install any rom, but these roms doesn't work anymore.

You nice told, carefully. Only in Youtube I found something interesting than in this site.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rutgerhoorn:
And if that doesn't work, you're gonna blame youtube for it right?

Everything you need to know about rooting your desire and flash custom roms is available here, really. Just do it right, like they tell you here.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robotukas:
Roms doesn't work after I changed HBOOT to Bravo CM7.

I tell what I done.

1. UnvrEVOked - successful

2. Gold Card - successful

3. S-OFF - successful

4. HBOOT Barvo CM7 - It done update utill

1) Nandroid backup in recovery. done.

2) Verify the MD5SUM of the file you downloaded against the one in the table. done

3) Flash HBOOT with your phone in fastboot mode (Back+POWER) -> 'fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl.img' (change into the correct filename for the HBOOT you downloaded). done

After update, phone was restarted. I didn't do number 4 and 5, because I didn't see these text.

4) 'fastboot reboot-bootloader'

5) 'fastboot erase cache'

6) Boot recovery, wipe everything and restore. Done

Where I make mistake?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robotukas:
From Youtube proper info I found about S-OFF and Gold Card. These things that I done from Youtube.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
You clearly have no idea about how to use adb/fastboot command so do NOT try flashing a new HBOOT. Just use InsertCoin using the stock HBOOT until you know what you're doing
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robotukas:
So where is explained about adb/fastboot commands? You know just talk and talk, but explain You can't. This not answer what I want hear.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
No I can't answer as I had to find out for myself. I Google'd it. I suggest you do the same
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robotukas:
At least I done, what I wanted. One day big job, until I done. Now is easy to day, because I get a lot experience. Anyway i liked to do. Some things I done from YouTube, other thing form other site, and thats left, I done using this site. Some tutorials is to much difficult.

Like to make AlphaRev S-OFF is easy, but to customize partition table (like Bravo CM7, and other) isn't enough explained. So I was using tools Re-flasher, which was very helpful. And for radio as well is very helpful.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rutgerhoorn:
Cool

I'm glad you achieved what you wanted to achieve, hooray for that!!

Did you read this part on the alpharev site about cutomising your partition table, it isn't hard if you do exactly what it says:

You can also download the corresponding PB99IMG zipfile, put it on your sdcard, and rename it to PB99IMG.zip. Then start the phone in HBOOT mode (VolDown+POWER) to flash the HBOOT without a PC. It is however still necessary to either restore your nandroid, or reflash your ROM after doing this. The partition LAYOUT has changed, the actual data still needs to be 'moved'

Just be careful!
