Ok, this means that we also have some problems with log printing.

Using "busybox su" seemed to be a bit safe command (it worked on all devices we have for testing). Now it turned out that it doesn't work on every device.

By the way I think I should introduce myself - I'm one of the Wishnu developers, so with any problems you can write to me.
[Android General] GoTeamScotch:
The website claims the app on android can run by itself without using a computer. Does this mean the Debian environment is self-contained and can be run as such? The app seems to start linux, but a computer is then required to view the desktop, correct? How does one view the linux desktop from the phone itself?

The app runs fine on my phone. The image file needs to be place on the internal memory, rather than the SD card itself for it to run properly.

[Android General] Might_of_Sun:
You can use any VNC client from the android market to get the picture from the linux desktop on your phone.

There connection address is "localhost", port 5901 and password is "android".

You can check gallery on our site to see how it works (photo with phone connected to the TV).

Checked the source code of the app - version that should be on the android market and the site shouldn't run any "busybox su" command (however it is always possible that we made a mistake).

So first of all I want to make sure that your busybox has chroot applet.

Please, could you perform "busybox chroot " command from the adb shell (or in the terminal emulator in your phone) and post here a result of this command?

If it works I'll attach the launching script (nearly the same we have in the app) and I hope we will find out what's wrong with the launching procedure.
[Android General] GoTeamScotch:
Awesome, thank you very much for the tip! I downloaded a free VNC viewer app from the market and entered the info you gave and it worked! The desktop is a little sluggish but that's sort of to be expected, even with a dual-core phone.

This is very cool software! I didn't realize running Linux on a Droid 3 was possible as of yet because of loopback support. I've been looking into ways of installing Linux since I got the phone, but couldn't find a way around my kernel's lack of loopback. How does your software overcome this obstacle? Are there any plans of improving speed in future releases?

By the way, if your group would like a graphics designer for UI elements or website images I am available! I work for a company in Olympia, Washington making graphics (in-store signs, exterior posters, skins, icons, etc...). This seems like a cool project and I'd be willing to help out for a cup of coffee or something.
[Android General] meego-nexus:
Great project.

Do you have more info on building Debian for Android? Also, how much of the "native" Debian UI apps are transferable (and usable) from the phone?
[Android General] Might_of_Sun:
I can't tell you how our software solved your problem because I can't say that I really got the idea what troubles you got while trying to run Linux on your phone.

Update: Oh, I think I got the idea (just remembered problems with first Droid). Direct "mount -o loop" command doesn't work. However we make "a long way" - first prepare a nod for the image, then tell the system that a loop device will be mounted to the nod we created (performing losetup), and finally mount the system. And this way seem to be usable for most of the android systems.

What about improvements? Well, first of all we want stability. Images we made seem to be a bit unstable (at least sometimes we get problems with installing new software using apt, always catch myself with an idea that I have forgotten something to check before trying to modify an image). Also Tight VNC, that we use for running desktop on the Debian, seem to be a bit "tight" place of the system - it doesn't use the features of new processors - improving it should give us a significant speedup (fortunately it is an open-source project). And of course, using newer packages compiled for modern processors should help with the performance - unluckily such packages only included in Debian 7.0 distributive that seem to be unstable.

Yes, I used multistrap tool and instructions found in EmDebian site ( I can't include hyperlinks as far as I don't have enough posts on the forum - antispam protection - so just enter "multistrap" on your favorite search engine ). Also I can post an instructions of image building procedure - steps I preformed while making a MIPS image ( they are differ a bit from an EmDebian site ).

About Debian native apps - I can't say how many of them are usable from the phone - it depends of the model (some of the applications require huge amount of memory and just don't start if you don't have enough), however I believe that most of apps found in the Debian repositories are at least in "runnable" conditions. However installing them may crash any Debian subsystems ( it won't affect any Android native systems, only one that used with Debian ). So you are free to try.

[Android General] AllGamer:
very interesting project

nice!
[Android General] Might_of_Sun:
This means that we have some problems on detecting SD card - we try automatically detect one as on different devices they can have different names and parsing all file system for the image file seemed to be "strange" since we decided to have a specific directory for the system.

Please could you post the file void.fstab found in /system/etc/

(you can get it using adb - command is "adb pull /system/etc/vold.fstab") or send its content to me. I think the problem is that this file on your device has different format of it and that's why our file parser fails.

I have a case on my phone that makes using the hardware buttons a real pain. Has anyone found, or does anyone know of any custom kernels or roms released that allow a 'sweep glass to wake' feature? I'm using widgetlocker now which allows a wake by pressing the volume buttons - which are easier than the power key, but if anyone has any suggestions (other than removing the case), I'm all ears.

I'm running the unNamed 2.1.1 rom w/entropy's kernel btw.

Thanks!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] axis01:
Don't know of any. Don't think anyone would even want one, besides you. I leave my phone in my pocket and it would constantly turn on when walking, if it was just a swype gesture. IMO, it would be a massive pain.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
I'm 99% certain there is no way to do this without increasing battery drain significantly. Having the touchscreen controller active while in sleep would increase drain a lot, and also it's about 50% likely the touchscreen controller is not even capable of waking the CPU from deep sleep.

It would require a MASSIVE amount of kernel hacking to make it possible, and the battery drain would be awful.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] superdog404:
Check out "Tap Tap App" in the market. I've been using it. It's a little strange as it doesn't always work. It does most of the time. I don't know what it does to the battery. I haven't checked it yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phoenix84118:
You're closest bet would be to find something that allows the capacitive keys to wake the screen (I believe some HTC devices can do that, as can my gTablet).

It might be as simple as editing a keymap file.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpate86:
I have a Motorola Triumph (running CM7) and stream music via Bluetooth to my Sony DSX-S300BTX head unit in my car. The quality and consistency of the audio is flawless and can also use my head unit to change tracks and pause/play music with no issue. I recently began using Google Music on my PC and it made sense to use the Android app for accessibility purposes. The only drawback I have experienced is that the artist and song title info is no longer shown on my car stereo. This functionality worked perfectly using my previous phone (WP7 LG Quantum w/ Zune Pass) and on my current Triumph with the stock music app packaged with any version of CM7. I download and listen to quite a bit of new music and this functionality is pretty much a must have feature for my primary music app.

Does anyone know of a fix/hack for this issue? The only workaround I have thought of would be to sync music via the Google Music app and then listen to it via the stock music app. This is less than ideal due to the fact it involves 2 apps and takes away the option to stream music not downloaded to my phone. Also, the Google Music app has a much nicer UI compared to the stock app. If you don't know of a specific fix, but have some knowledge of A2DP and AVRCP Bluetooth profiles and could point me in the right direction as to what all goes into making this work, that would be awesome.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melvinchng:
I've a suggestion, most of the Sony headset has aux in, so you can buy an aux in cable in shop, it is quite cheap, I get my 3 metre cable for about Rm3.50 ~2us$. The output quality of the sound should be good compared with Bluetooth. You won't be able to change track via headset, only phone. If you want a great quality, it is a good choice

Accidentally sent from my Google Nexus S using XDA Premium
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpate86:
It has an auxiliary input, as well as 2 USB inputs, but I definitely do not want to use a wired connection. I considered mounting a Nook Color in my car using the aux input and purchasing a head unit that focused purely on audio quality since the Nook would be the central control mechanism by design. The big reason I bought the Sony head unit was for the excellent Bluetooth integration. I don't want to mess with wires, worry about carry a thumb drive with music on it, or worry about constantly updating the flash drive with new music. My current setup is exactly what I envisioned except for the track info problem which I am almost certain is app/phone specific. If I can just get this last little thing figured out I will have everything I want out of my set up. Information regarding this issue seems to be pretty spotty, so any input would be appreciated.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tchamberlin:
same issue

I have the same issue with my 2012 Volvo and my Sony Arc. While streaming with my 2 year old blackberry it will show the song info text in the car stereo but with my Sony Arc it just says "streaming". The skipping of songs back and forth works fine with the car controls although it seems for both phones you cannot scroll the song menu in the phone like you would with a USB stick or play random.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hopscotchjunkie:
I'm not really clear on what you were trying to do here... You've gone through the process of downgrading to an older software version (seemingly successfully), then as soon as you've booted you've tried to upgrade back to where you were before you started?

Have you tried pulling the battery and then trying to boot into bootloader? Does adb recognise the device?
[HTC Inspire 4G] buttons_PhD:
I just rooted my phone using Ace-Hack, everything was fine and dandy until I tried putting a custom rom on.

Everything was going smoothly, until I went to re-boot my phone. hearing from friends that it takes a little while before the phone fully re-boots. I let it sit awhile... after about 10 minutes I got a little worried. After 20 I got really worried.

Now it just sits there and plays the booting animation over and over and over.

Anyone have any advice?

By try again, he means reflash the rom after wiping. Don't just wipe and try to boot the phone again.

Flatmate picked up a Galaxy Nexus from Telstra and the Baseband is one that hasn't been posted so far.

Used the dd method to dump it from /dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/radio but as with the UGKK7 baseband posted by bakedjake it needs to be trimmed to be flashable.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djfl:
Hi all. New to the forums...watched the degrading vid before signing up even and am somewhat newby with phones. I've scoured this site, the motorola support site...which is apparently down til next week now...and a few other sites I came across via pages of google searching. I cannot find the answer other than doing a factory reset...which I really do not want to do as I have a LOT of apps and info of my phone. It should all be backed up via motoblur and the lookout app's backup. But I have months worth of scheduling info in there which will take me more hours to reenter...I reeeeeally don't want to if I don't have to.

Problem: My Atrix 4g is caught in a bootloop. While this is a somewhat common problem, mine seems to be a little different. I'll point form details below and will greatly appreciate any help I get. If you need any more info, please let me know.

-caught in a boot loop. It boots regularly, but reboots about every 2 minutes. There is a good 30-45 seconds where I can access apps etc. However, I don't think that the phone completely finishes its boot cycle before rebooting.

-Occasionally...and I believe ONLY after I reboot via the down volume/power button method...the phone will stay on long enough to receive notifications from the web. Facebook notifications etc etc. Most of the time it doesn't.

-If I had to guess, it's trying to boot some app near the end of its boot cycle that it doesn't like. And I'm assuming it just doesn't like this app's latest update as I've never had this problem before.

-Prior to rebooting via volume/power button, I was getting an error message which I wrote down...and have since accidentally erased. It was something along the lines of "system process failed" and I then had the option of force close or wait.

-Every 3 seconds or so, my notification light flashes purple. It typically shows green during startup, red for notifications...I've never seen purple before.

-I downloaded almost every app I could over the last 10 days of 10, 10c apps from the market.

-I haven't opened most of the apps, and haven't had any problems with any apps that I have opened

-Most of my apps are set to auto-update. Therefore, I don't know which app update could be the problem...assuming this is the problem

-I'm in the process of removing my apps 1 at a time every 2 minutes or so...as I get a chance during the final stages of the phone's rebooting. So far, 10 apps in and no success. Only another 200 apps or so to go. ugh...

Any ideas? help? booze?

Thanks in advance. :)
