I can’t believe there is no way to do a screen shot with a stock phone. What the hell is wrong with Sony? It is so easy on the iPhone.
[Xperia Play General] Laird_Attwood:
Not used it myself but I see lots of people using MPE to take screen grabs.

I'm rooted so just use a screenshot app from market.

[Xperia Play General] FK1983:
I just use screenshotit :)
[Xperia Play General] Logseman:
I've used screenshot with proper results. Still, it's a bit stupid to have to root the phone in order to get a screenshot. The Galaxy S, for example, allows you to do without.
[Xperia Play General] matknny:
I am not a fan of having to root to screenshot.
[Xperia Play General] duqueso:
Ok, thanks for the answers, i try Screenshot It and it works, but it's not a free app, so i really don't want to pay for taking ss of my phone. Screenshot works well too, and it is free. I'm going to try the asm.jar solution today, later i tell you if this work too.

Thanks
[Xperia Play General] ncaissie:
???

Please explain.
[Xperia Play General] Logseman:
"ScreenshotIt" and "screenshot" are two different apps.

[Galaxy 3 General] ahsanaimad:
Please answer this?

Hey Im planning to install ubuntu based on your thread I have downloaded the ubuntu.zip file and now I just want to confirm will it run perfectly on my Galaxy 3? Will it conflict in any way with my operating system? Will it function properly without any possible problem? And also which kernel can support loop devices? Please answer my question. Hope you reply soon. Thanx in advance. :)
[Galaxy 3 General] mcd_legend:
no its not conflicting with anything

i checked i was able to recieve calls messages perfectly

just make a point of 1-2 things

when in android vnc server u need to give nick as root and pass as whatever u set

besides Ip localhost (127.0.0.1) and port 5901

and the color format should be 24color (4bpp) and it works awesome

i am using gnome havent installed XDE

[Galaxy 3 General] niteshtak:
have downloaded the zip file...but from the above post it seems like the resolution is not enough for it's proper functioning ?? is it true ??

secondly,what is the method for reverting back to android ??
[Galaxy 3 General] mcd_legend:
resolution aint a problem

u have scaling option ... u can fit it to screen

or put it zoomable where u can float the full screen :)

well the android is running

ubuntu is in chroot mode

that is that android is running as usual and ubuntu is just running over it :p

that means its using the linux/ android /(marcellusbe's kernel)

for going back just hit the home key

and to go back go back to android vnc viewer (long press home key and select)

** this will work untill u have manually shutdown ubuntu from terminal emulator/adb or something
[Galaxy 3 General] mcd_legend:
hmmm

how do we do that ?

i dont know and dont have a camera

after i typed 'apt-get update'it shows 'could not resolve ports.ubuntu.com'

can anyone give me a help?
[Galaxy 3 General] mcd_legend:
that requires internet connection

so make sure u are connected to wifi / network data

it was about 7 MB i remember for me
[Galaxy 3 General] mcd_legend:
can u also tell me where do they get saved ?
[Galaxy 3 General] niteshtak:
Even i'm facing the same problem on my desktop...the internet connection is working but still the updates can't b fetched from the server.

Also, the vnc viewer is rejecting the address "127.0.0.1"...i even ran the 'ifconfig' to check if it's my ip and it's correct??

any suggestions !! :(
[Galaxy 3 General] niteshtak:
well the updates are not my main concern but the problem is that the vnc viewer is also not running the present version !! :/
[Galaxy 3 General] Rapier07:
"Screencapture" folder on sdcard..

Sent from the 3rd Galaxy !
[Galaxy 3 General] niteshtak:
Finally figured that out..install "Busybox" on ur phone !!!
[Galaxy 3 General] mcd_legend:
check if u have root / busybox

now if u have rebooted the ubuntu for any reason

then check whats the name of the log file

if its log4 then ur port would have changed to 5904

if u havent removed the log files it generally increases by one on each start

also sometimes vnc viewer shows white / ornage screen only with no bars

just disconnect and reconnect a few times and it will all get normal
[Galaxy 3 General] niteshtak:
Oh noo...all this trouble just to get a white screen :P :/

and now not even getting connected through vnc..

how can i check the log file ???
[Galaxy 3 General] mcd_legend:
when u start the vnc server

using “export USER=root” and “vncserver -geometry 1024×800″ commands

u will get something like

3new "x" desktop is localhost:1

if its 1 that means port is 5901

if its say 4 then its 5904

a couple of lines below it will show

/root/.vnc/localhost:1.log

this no is also the same

Thanks a lot

Ok im very thankful im just going to install it and try it out. I guess it would be cool. I want to try ubuntu at any cost. Hey were GPS and Wifi and bluetooth working fine? Well before you answer I think I would have tried that. Well for any future problems I have a important question Which kernel did you use? SE kernel or Fugumdo.Hey I want a kernel that is Non Overclock by default so please share the link to download a Non OC kernel that supports loop devices. Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy 3 General] Mohanshbhr:
I tried ubuntu on my g3 long time ago when fugu kernel was not available, it was fine but not good there was no way to access sdcard from ubuntu so "g3 ubuntu computer" without hard disk
[Galaxy 3 General] mcd_legend:
i am not using G3 anymore so wont be able to help much

my dad is using it now so i just flashed the stock JPM for him

but i used the fugumod 2.4 standard and beta 5 wioth 1300MHz

both worked fine with it
[Galaxy 3 General] mcd_legend:
didnt try that
[Galaxy 3 General] Mohanshbhr:
i cann't understand what u want to say, i tried ubuntu on my g3 i have done it only with terminal enulator not with adb
[Galaxy 3 General] Vermillon:
Ok, it works partially.

From the prompt, everything is ok, but I cannot see something on my phone =/

Edit : I can see a kind of desktop from the phone, but I can't travel through it neither "click" on the button. The page take only 2/3 on my screen.

Using TighVNC Viewer, I can't connect to my phone =/
[Galaxy 3 General] mcd_legend:
go to settings scaling

there u can change it also check the input options

No pan , trackball works for me

u double tap anywhere and mouse goes over there

Which kernel do i need?

I managed to root my SGS III and i did this so I could install UBUNTU on android with the app ubuntu installer.

But it seems i need a "loop device" and apparently the stock kernel is not "loop"?

So do i need another kernel?

If so which one?

I do not need any fuss in this kernel, i rather have a stock but with loop capabilities. (or something)

Hope anyone can help me with this?

Hy everyone,

I know it's kind of closed topic, because in the past year no more replies come, but I found this topic a few days ago and I really want to give a try for ubuntu on my phone (SG3). So, I almost accomplished everything, but the end, I got an error message:

chroot: can't execute '/bin/bash': No such file or directory

I have tried to create these folders by myself (I checked it, they are not exist), but then I got another error message:

mkdir: can't create directory: '/bin': Read-only file system

How can I make my file system to writable? I'm certainly sure that this is the last step before bet ubuntu on my phone, and it kind a frustating me :)

Thanks for your replies,
[Galaxy 3 General] zygis10:
Use root explorer and in the top right corner press mount R/W
[Galaxy 3 General] zsoltmazlo:
Hy,

thanks for your reply.

I installed the root explorer, made my root writeable and made these folders, but the message still appearing and I don' t know why. I set write permissions of the folders to 777 but it not works.

Any ideas?

Ps.: I attached an image about my phone, if there is any unusual or wrong about it, please tell me!

Hey guys noticed Jcases' gingerjane was no longer posted in the forum's considering that since I do have previous permission to use his rom as a base I thought I would post my daily driver. This is plainjane with sense 3.0 weather mms and lockscreen i didnt need all the fancy shmancy stuff i just really like the lockscreen shortcuts and weather.

Download SMS time fix from market if you have issues with timestamps on the rom

Instructions to install

Ensure you have latest GB radio (refer to Jcase thread for warning please)

place rom on root of SD card

the radio

[Thunderbolt Android Development] Daswolven:
Stock is safe.

Question: what kernel is this rom carrying? I'm back and forth from Froyo to GB because of two issues: BT calls breaking occasionally when I answer, and camera stability. Wondering if you're having issues with either.

And when I say camera stability, I mean being able to shoot 20 pictures and not have it freeze or have to pull the battery. Lol.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] n0thing2bdone:
oh i see i thought this was something different. it uses the radio that people have been warned not to use. thanks
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Carnage9270:
Just as a follow up...sorry for being abrupt there. It just frustrates the crap outta me seeing people in here asking questions that should be known before they ever rooted their phones. There's times when I think this rooting process has become waaaay too easy for people.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Zarboz:
Please refer to OP for statement on radios

for kernel this is carrying imeyosons right now but will carry twisteds modded kernel buoy on device I've had best camera results off that one and I take a lot of pictures
[Thunderbolt Android Development] DroidTh3ory:
Zarboz, people should be thanking you for another ROM to check out.

This uses the same radio ANY other GB ROMs use. There is no reason to **** on the thread and not any of the other GB ROMs.

Plus... There is NO evidence GB or the radio caused a brick.

Lol.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] miketoasty:
*Facepalm*

All right smart asses. Jcase pulled his ROM since he knew it was using an alpha radio that bricked phones. Using any gingerbread ROM with a connection to data (I.e. Using the alpha radio) gives you a chance to brick your phone. No one knows why this radio causes issues but it does.

Happy now?

I am not trying to defer people away from this ROM I am as happy as anyone else that we have another toy to play with but people need to now there is a serious risk that cannot be avoided by making sure you flash correctly or don't mess with the wrong thing. It just happens. Again Zarboz thank you for the ROM I just want people to have a heads up about the issues.

And just so everyone knows I am currently using this ROM and don't plan on jumping ship anytime soon.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Zarboz:
10chars please edit this post asdfnasldkjf;a

Really so for some reason people on GB had random bricks while NOONE on froyo had the same issue? Hmmmm interesting.

Lol.

Edit: Misread, Apologies.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mathiase:
Hi,

I just successfully rooted my former stock european (german) Xoom. Before I come to my actual question: When I rootet the device I typed "fastboot flash boot boot.img" - this flashed a new SPL - correct? Why did "adb remount" not work before this step? I believed it's just a bootloader and should have nothing to do with mounting file systems on a running OS ...

Now to the actual thread: So I guess the next step would be to update from Honeycomb 3.0.1 to 3.1. What is the current state of this for EU Xoom? I read I would lose 3G - is this still the case? and what about this Tiamat kernel? Will it come with the Update to 3.1 or this is required before or after the update?

Hope you can throw some light on my darkness ;)

cheers

mathiase
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ydaraishy:
The image you flashed is not the bootloader. It's a kernel image. adb remount didn't work before because you hadn't flashed the image to put Android in insecure mode.

Everything else you are after are in other threads easily found.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mathiase:
Hi,

thanks for your reply.

Hmm, I though it was a boot loader as the name "boot.img" suggested this ;) I always thought the kernel would be part of a ROM and therefore only be changed if I for example flashed a 3.1 custom ROM. Still I am not sure what "insecure mode" means at all - does it mean the bootloader no longer checks ROMs when they are flashed?

cheers

yes it plays the videos, as a matter a fact i was watching one last night (although i prefer to use skyfire because of the optimization feature!) but yes it did work and it worked smoothly! :D

That wud b good! But still it did let me install and I saw signifigant improvement in the speed and quality of my games on a real note!
[myTouch 3G Slide General] mingolianbeef:
wait everyone they were right it is INSTALLED but doesnt run, i jus happend to be on a site that allowed me to test it. hey was it adobe flash or HTC flash that is installed on custom roms because i had a FROYO 2.2 rom and it worked just fine i was watching flash vids and everything someone please clear this up for me!

-and by the way, it is true that the speed and quality of my games improved after installing flash 10.3 on my phone that is definitely still a fact (playing asphalt 5 as we speak lol) :-) :D
[myTouch 3G Slide General] cramill:
The stock Slide has a version of Flash Lite that i think HTC implemented. I don't know if that works with non HTC Sense ROMs. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

If Flash doesn't work on the Slide, I kinda doubt that it was the installing of Flash 10.3 that improved the quality of your games. Maybe it was something else you did at the same time you installed it. Try uninstalling it and see if you have the same performance in your games.
