[Droid Incredible General] Treken:
This distro was created with all the tools needed for android development. After you install this os, you're ready to start developing for Android.

GreenRom Dev Kt is now available. It has Android SDK/NDK, Eclipse, ADB(from any location!), ThemerStudio, all required dependencies for compiling roms, repo init for pulling source code from github, and Gimp for theming/editing graphics.

Q:Why is this important?

A:Because all you need to do is install this OS, plug in your phone, and begin having fun as you dev. There's no need to try and download and install ANYTHING for Android development because it's all been done for you. Do you need to run ADB Logcat? Go ahead. Now there's no need to make sure you're in a certain directory because you can run ADB from anywhere.

Some common questions might be:

Q:Do I have to install GRPdevkit to my HDD?

A:No, you can run it from live mode and store your progress on a pen drive. Alternately, you can install it on a pen/usb drive and run it from that if your bios detects usb drives.

Q:Will I be able to install this alongside another OS?

A:Possibly, although LivLogik and I haven't had any luck with dual booting this nor Ubuntu.

Q:Will this screw up my computer?

A:As with any Linux OS that's experimental, the possibility is there, although LivLogik and I have been testing this OS extensively to ensure all the bugs have been work out before making it available to you. Nevertheless, we are in no way responsible for your actions!

Q:What if I don't want to dev and just want to use this for an every day system?

A:That's quite fine as this OS is built from Linux Mint 11 and has all the stuff you probably use such as Brasero, X-Chat, Transmission, Libre Office, Movie Player, Calculator, Pidgin, G-Thumb, and much more!

Q:What if I can't burn an installation disk?

A:As with the majority of mainstream Linux Distros, we will be offering an installation disk for a small fee + s&h. LivLogik and I have to come up with a design for the cd decal as I have access to a cd printer. We will post the availability when we come up with it.

Q:How do I use the tools that are in this?

A:There is a get started guide on the desktop that you can move to your home folder or delete that explains briefly how to use the tools, however, I didn't include instructions on Eclipse as I've never used it. For Eclipse just go to it's website here: http://eclipsetutorial.sourceforge.net/totalbeginner.html and learn how to use it. Eclipse is used to make programs for Android.

LivLogik will be making a video so that you can see it in action. Enjoy!!

Note: you may need to right click on the desktop and change the wallpaper mode setting from zoom to whatever fits your screen best. -Fixed in update

**EDIT** if you have problems signing in to gtalk on the messanger... go to software manager and in the search box type in gtalk and download that plugin and it should work and if you have problems with anymore accounts like facebook do the same and it should work fine :) -Fixed in update
