[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dk_zero-cool:
The reason why I replace as much of toolbox as possible is this. Toolbox is a very limited binary, and on some systems it's even extra limited than on others. So I set toolbox to handle the things only toolbox can do in order to keep android happy. The rest I let busybox take care of because the binary is far less limited and fallows a lot more linux standards than toolbox. This consistency makes shell scripting/work a lot easier and more reliable than having to many toolbox links that you do not know how will react on different systems.

Toolbox has a few android specific things like get/setprop, log etc. These have to be linked to toolbox. But regular linux commands like ls, df, fdisk, cd, mount and so on is handled a lot better by busybox than many toolbox versions. And since I can't say for sure how a toolbox binary works on a rom that I'm not familier with, I have to rely on busybox as it works the same on each rom, only limited to which commands is present and which is not depending on the build. But this is all handled by the --list prefix.

If two busybox versions both have the df command, these two will most likely work the same. This I cannot say for toolbox. Each command in different versions is build with different options. I have had two roms installed where toolbox by default did not allow --prefix's. This means that something like "ls -la" would fail because "-la" was not allowed by toolbox while it would be on others. This makes toolbox very unreliable which is why I target busybox as much as possible.

EDIT:

And if you are missing the "find" toolbox/busybox link?

If you could rely on all of the commands to begin with, this script would have no meaning. Also in that case "which busybox" would be much better to use. But since you can't count on "which" or "find" being available before this script has been executed, simple "if" statements is more reliable. Instead I should remove "[" and "]" from the statements in case these links is not available either.

Thanks. i will try ;))
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rocketero:
I have a question,

Today I was playing around and installed a busybox app from Google play store, called simply 'busybox'. I already had toolbox symlinks in /system/bin

this busybox installed most of the c binaries in /system/xbin including busybox 1.19.4

After installing I try to run a simple ls command and was giving me

ls: not executable magic 7f45

the same with most other commands like chmod, cp, mv, etc.

I then did some search and the reason for that was that the SUID was not set, it was rwxr-xr-x, instead of rwsr-x-rx (the s meaning the SUID was set on).

But I could not set that bit (s bit) on, because I could not issue the chmod command as itself was missing the 's'. I did try with the app Root Explorer but in the permissions window was not listed the needed box for SUID (and GUID in the same column).

So I was forced to re-install the Android system, in this case I was using Bluestacks Virtual Android system so it was not a big loose after all.

After installing that busybox app I could get into the main android screen but most apps didn't run for some reason, I'm just guessing those binaries were needed to run apps, like the internet didn't work at all.

Any comments on this so I can be more careful next time with real device ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dk_zero-cool:
First, you could have used toolbox to change it (toolbox chmod ...)

Second, just dont install busybox via android market

Third, what does this have to do with my script?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] zeppelinrox:
lulz...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rocketero:
First of all I have to say that it does have nothing to do with your script.

It's just that I saw this thread appropiate to comment on the issue I had with installing busybox from Google Market on Bluestacks, and having to reinstall bluestacks at the end as I didn't see an alternative to fix it.

You said that using the command: 'toolbox chmod' it, but how could it if chmod itself was lucking the suid bit on, it had rwxr-xr-x permissions instead of rwsr-xr-x as it should be.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dk_zero-cool:
Toolbox is a small android specific binary with the same goal as busybox. Integrating some binaries into one. Busybox is a lot bigger with more options, not just command options but each command also more options than with toolbox.

Breaking busybox will have no affect on toolbox. So if "busybox chmod" or the linked file "chmod" which links to busybox does not work, then using "toolbox chmod" will.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Miche1asso:
Actually I am looking for a much simpler approach. I prefer to leave toolbox alone. But I really need busybox commands when I use "adb shell". Is there any way just to change the PATH variable every time I login? I am getting kind of tired typing

export PATH=/system/xbin:$PATH

each time. Any .login/.profile or equivalent I can use?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] :
excelent

excelent post mate...it is what i was looking for .... thank you for this excelent post.

i will try it right now:D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Kaskade:
Busybox comes installed in /sbin/ by default from a custom kernel: "busybox (rwxrwxrwx -> recovery)"

Will your busybox_installer-nobin-signed work on this, too? Or does it require a 'real' busybox file being present?

On Ubuntu I used it's multiple screen function. You can scroll with ATL+CTRL+arrows. So I opened explorer in one screen to see content of my phone and on the other screen opened folder I want to copy. Fast and easy.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flakz0r:
I've read people saying you can if you have at least Windows Media Player 10 installed, dont know if it's true though. Make sure you have all the latest updates.

I do recommend you upgrade for Windows 7. :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] obland:
It worked for me using Windows XP.

The first time it did not work for me and I looked around and found some people thought their stock cable was the problem. I thought I'd have to go buy a new one, no biggie.

Today I opted to charge my phone while working and lo and behold I had success! I copied files back and forth, no problem. Same cable, same computer.

Try again?

There was no real difference between the two attempts. The first time I opened up 'Internal Storage' it was blank, any drag and drop was met with the invalid cursor. I refreshed, nothing. The next day, after the laptop was asleep, no problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anthdroid:
There's an old app called XNJB for Mac OS X

I found an app today via Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_Transfer_Protocol

Its called XNJB - it's amazing that it actually works (kind of), considering it was made for MP3 players years ago...

I'm going to keep looking at it- but already it has more (native) flexibility than that of Android File Transfer - keep in mind that that flexibility doesn't actually work (yet).

I can't believe that Android File Transfer is all they gave to Mac Users OTB - it's such crap, reminds me of the various Blackberry tools back in 2004.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Deleted member 4390557:
What about FTP?

If you have Wi-Fi at home you can use the free, open source app File Expert.

It's a really great file explorer for android and has an option to turn your phone into an ftp server. If you're on Linux you can use filezilla or whatever to log into your phone and transfer files. I'm on windows and find the wireless transfer to be much more convenient than using a cable. Transfer speeds are great too.

Bit of a newb post for me this one and I know you people probably expect better of me xD.. but what the hell..

FIRSTLY - Yes I know this thread is posted on other phones! However it's not on the Desire so some people may not know ^_^

If you haven't already noticed (it's hard not to!) the Android Market is celebrating it's 10 BILLION downloads, by offering us 10 popular apps each day, for just 10p/10cents (whatever your currency is)

There are 10 new apps each day, and if you have a problem with downloading them just check out

this

, and you can download them from your PC to your phone!
[Desire Themes and Apps] ZigmaDK:
Might want to highlight the link a bit more :)

Too bad it's not possible to buy an app for future use.

I wanted to buy Asphalt 6, but I only have a Desire, so it's not possible :(
[Desire Themes and Apps] bortak:
As you wish
[Desire Themes and Apps] lalek:
Its hard to, yeah, but there are always people like me... :rolleyes: sooo, thanks. I got 3 apps for .30$ :p
[Desire Themes and Apps] suramania:
i think apps are linked to google account? and you can redownload when you change device if you use your same account..
[Desire Themes and Apps] Jezz_X:
I got swiftkeyx because I figured it would come in handy one day though I prefer to use swype myself. I actually kind of hoped I could use it on a tablet when I get one then I noticed there is a different tablet version :(
[Desire Themes and Apps] davebugyi:
Spent already $ 0.40 LOL :D
[Desire Themes and Apps] android_owl:
Oh... i want to buy these apps but i've got no credit card here -_-
[Desire Themes and Apps] lalek:
Dunno what happened or how this works exactly, but last night i had swiftkey and endomondo for $0.10, and now they are regular price. As I remember, they were not listed on the promotion link in the market on my device, nor on the android market website. Now it's the same thing with awd launcher ex, it's not listed but it's $0.10. Anyone has a clue how this work? Do we know the exact list of apps that are available for $0.10?
[Desire Themes and Apps] xcly:
they only do 10 apps per day, then the previous day's apps go back to regular price I think..

links on market don't update that quick either. better check the website if u want up to date info
[Desire Themes and Apps] Jezz_X:
Indeed they only stay 10 cents for 24 hours then it goes to 10 new apps.

My guess is google wears the cost and still pays the dev the normal money they would get
[Desire Themes and Apps] bortak:
It's 10 different apps every day, so the apps that cost 10p today will go back to normal price tomorrow, and so on and so forth. The website link I sent lists all of the available apps for that day, and I'm pretty sure the new market also has a category from the "main menu" type thing where it displays all the 10p apps.
[Desire Themes and Apps] ZigmaDK:
Yay. Big link for me :-)

I already bought 10 apps.

The reason I was moping was that I can't buy asphalt, because the desire I have isn't supported, so I can't even buy it.

So its not possible to buy for a future tablet, if your current device doesn't support it in the first place.
[Desire Themes and Apps] fezy:
Hi if you have access to another android device bit more powerful than desire then u can add ur google account on that if its got gb running and download it to that device. For example i also wanted asphalt 6 for my next device so i added my google account to sisters nexus s and bought it on there.

Turn data off to make sure its not using your 4G connection, then just tether it connected to wifi and it should work. I've done it before numerous times.

That sounds like a decent solution. Haven't thought about that, do you have a recommendation on a good tether App that doesn't need a whole bunch of UN necessary work.

Settings app perhaps? USB tethering is just above wifi tether. I've done this many times.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mojorisin7178:
tahahawa is right it is built in to the android software you dont need anything extra. All you need to do is connect to wifi like normal whatever network you want to use then shut off your data connection if you want to be safe but it is not nessesary. Then connect to the pc via USB and check the tethering box in settings and then you are done. No need for any other apps or anything else.

try out pdanet its a pretty usefull app theres a pc client u need to install and congifure as well but its really easy...probably best app out there for this...also not sure if u r running the miui.us rom or not but it has a built in tethering client
[T-Mobile LG G2x] enoch861:
Its built in to our G2x's. Just make sure you have the LG drivers installed on your computer and then check USB tethering in Settings and everything should be golden!

I don't know what the deal is with the stock App but it just doesn't want to work with my computer. Wifi hot spot works fine but the USB tether wont. I have all the drivers for the phone as far as I know. Had to instal a bunch when I rooted the phone.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sjtscott:
This is standard charging behaviour and happens on the Nexus S too (which is currently my phone). There were similar questions on the Nexus S general forum about this behaviour too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrOsamaful:
It is for increasing battery life. You should not charge it to maximum or discharge it completely. It's a well known fact about Li-Ion batteries...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flyhighln:
Thanks mate~ I am new on Android, so just curious about this....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robinsmy1:
I have this issue too. I have noticed that if I unplug it and plug it back in, it will charge to 100%. I had assumed it was because I was using the Samsung 700ma charger. Guess not.

I have noticed my Galaxy Tab 7 does the same thing, but it will show 100% until I unplug it then it will go down immediately to a lower level, I plug it back in and let charge and it goes to 100%.

I have guessed that what is happening is that once it charges to 100%, it stops charging and starts using battery, thus the decrease. I have not watched it to try to catch it as soon at it done charging to see if this is the case as I always charge overnight.

I would guess that if I let it get low enough, it would start charging again. I know my laptop will not charge the battery unless it is 90% or less to prevent top offs that shorten battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flyhighln:
will try this tonight！
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flyhighln:
the way you used is exactly what my friend told me to do. He has the same issue, and if he unplug the charger when a 'complete' showed on the locked screen and replug it, you could get a 100%!!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Iain 89:
I had this problem. My GN would only charge to 98% so I left it on charge for nearly 8 hours and it eventually got to 100% I carried out a battery calibration using this app from the market and its been perfect ever since I've even noticed an increase in battery life

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luxferro:
Your not supposed to do this. Charging to 100% and/or letting it drop to 0% decreases battery life in the long run. This applies to all LI-ION batteries, in your laptop, or anything else.

You people that complain about 96-99% just need to get over it. It's like that for a reason. Don't go chasing mods the charge it to 100%, or ways to trick it into saying 100%, just accept that when it says charged it is.

edit: Sorry if I come off as an 8==D. Just tired of seeing posts like this (the nexus S does the same thing. Its by design for a reason.)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bimmerboii:
My galaxy nexus charges all the way to 100%. But when i leave it charging overnight, when i wake up its on 97%. I think its a built in safety feature to prevent the phone from charging when left plugged in for an extended period.
