[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hayoung.lee:
Hi,

I'm trying to run fastboot on my mac. Fail to run it properly. But ADB is working well.

Error message displayed like below.

HaYoung-ui-MacBook-Air:~ hayoung$ fastboot -i 0x18d1 flash kernel /Volumes/android/etab/img/zImage
ERROR: Unable to create a plug-in (e00002be)

Have you anyone seen this and solved? I googled a lot but didn't find an answer.

OS: OSX 10.7 Lion

Device: Android 2.3.4

Vendor ID: 0x18d1 (google)

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

The audio company Fiio has been talking about creating a USB DAC that works specifically with ICS. Problem is, I've only ever read of vague support of the idea from Google and zero software suggesting this is even an option. Has anyone else tried to make this work and, if so, does it? Love to know what the gentleman who created Voodoo Control thinks about this.

If it ever did work, you might see a huge migration of audiophiles from the iPhone (which allows for limited DAC access to limited devices through the dock) to Android (which would allow access to budget USB DACs costing hundreds of dollars less).
[General Accessories] 01010001:
I'd really like to know this too. The internal DAC in the SGSII sucks, and it doesn't even have any kind of unamplified line-out. If I could use an external DAC that would solve all (or at least most) of my audio issues with it.
[General Accessories] Hgshgs:
There are some custom ROMs for some devices that are working with USB DACs. Nook color, Archos G9, Nexus 1 and maybe some other devices. There is some experimental USB DAC support in RedPill Kernell for SGS2 but I couldn't make it work with my SGS2+FIIO E10+USB powered HUB.

I have a chinese tablet, Ainol Novo 8 Adv and there are some ROMs that have the libraries needed, but there is no way to route android audio to the USB DAC. Alsa recognizes the DAC but nothing happens.

We should ask Google to implement it. Look at this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1490151

How do you update to 4.0.2.A.0.62?

And if you root your device again using zergRush method, all apps should get their su permissions again. :rolleyes:

try rooting using Flashtool 0.4.2,

put phone to usb debug,

just let it switch on,

plug in usb cable,

see for the lock icon beside the thunder icon,

if it gray it cant be root (means not supported or something like that)

if it black, just click it, wait for the root process, when its done the phone will restart automatically.

and done, see the result for your self.

odd make sure you have cd into the right folder and that the script isn't crupt

interesting so Ubuntu is running but the ui dosnt load, will look into this and get back to you.

you can go back to android just by hitting home. however the sdcard gets mounted for Ubuntu so to stop Ubuntu you have to restart the phone

Thanks dude,

The file missing error is because it's trying to run a script in the Ubuntu image that starts vnc etc.

But as Ubuntu isn't mounting it can't access it.
[Desire HD General] ozaghloul:
Ever since the latest update (which I totally love), my phone takes over 4 minutes until the startup splash screen disappears, and then another 1.5 minutes until things are useable and not jittery. It used to take half as long before the update. Aside from the dreaded wipe and reinstall everything, is there any other solution? Is there a software that will log what is taking long during startup? My phone is not rooted.

Anyone else notice their startup time doubling?
[Desire HD General] shad0wboss:
If you're talking about sense 3 then yes. It is a heavy update and i believe heavier than previous sense that is why you're facing this problem. If you want speed, get custom sense roms...and you won't have this problem.

Official roms are full of junk, for people because not everyone uses everything so to provide every use of the device, official rom provides heck a lot of services, apps to the users but no one uses all of them that is why it takes time to load all of them when in custom roms, bloat is removed so that users can enjoy the speed.

Thank you

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] devwithzachary:
Hello everyone,

I have set up a new server that will be used for the paid apps that should give much faster downloads than the multiupload I use at the moment, it will also allow for direct downloading (i.e. when you press the button in the app the download starts you don’t have to go onto a website to download)

I would like you al if possible to try downloading the test file (the 800x480 sm Ubuntu image) and report back to me with what kind of download speeds you were getting, against what your normal download rate is.

http://zpwebsitefiles.com/apps/ubuntu/ubuntuV4-sm-800.zip

Thank you very much
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] shockem:
Going to try this out soon:)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] devwithzachary:
Ok new paid app has been uploaded the change log is:

*PAID app file downloads now use new fast FTP server and support direct downloading (click the button to download a image and it starts to download right away)

*New boot script which has fixed problems with it not booting on alot of devices, and fixed problem which some people getting a grey screen when loading UI

*Boot script now downloaded in zip file to fix problems with downloading script

*Both apps fixed to support low resolutions

*Both apps cleaned up

Because the FTP server costs me money to run these fast download links will only be available in the paid app. As I will only be uploading the 800x480 images to multiupload in the future (to be included in the free app) the images in the first post will stay at V4 (apart from the 800x480) thus if you have a device that has a different screen rez and want to keep up-to-date with image updates now is a good time to invest in the paid app :).

The paid app will also be getting alot more work in the close future to make the install process even easier (to hopefully the point of just downloading and pressing a button to boot) some of which will likely not make it to the free version, I am doing this to try and give the paid version more 'buying appeal'...I am after all a poor student and need money to eat and drink :P :D

Ramble over, but the future is bright..the future is linux on android :)

In need of help with APP

Hello all, first and for most THANK YOU EVERYONE for all your help in testing and helping me build up the best app and ubuntu/backtrack install I can.

However now I really want to take the whole thing to the next level, something that I need a little help with, while I am happy with my skills when it comes to the ubuntu image, and the boot script I now need some help with the app itself.

There are a few features listed below I need/want to include in the next app release that right now is a little bit beyond my skill set.

Automatic Connecting via FTP loggin to my ftp server for more secure file downloading (i.e only people that have paid can truely use my fast downloads)

Building in a terminal to auto launch the boot script at a press of a button (or widget) (I have looked into this and waiting to hear from someone, but any other help would be great!)

Automaticaly create the 'ubuntu' folder and extract the zipped files and move them to this folder

If anyone could help me with any of the above please PM me, or pass this message on if you know of anyone that might be able to help!

(Also if there are any other features you would like to make the install more automatic let me know)

Other features I will be adding in, in the future release of the app/images include:

Fixing broken programs including Java

Letting the user select which desktop enviorment they way to use before booting

Fixing the boot script to solve the still remaining problems with not booting ubuntu
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] hp420:
I had the same thought about a direct launcher icon, and the only app that I know of for programmable terminal commands is gscript. I tried adding the commands to mount the img, and I noticed it doesn't seem to stay opened in the background. Once it runs the commands, that's it. it would have been great to have a one-click desktop icon to mount, then just launch vnc & load the img. If you could find a way to do it all and direct boot linux with just one click, that would be awesome!!!!

here's my gscript screenshot. It says failed, but the load message pops up, so I'd assume it doesn't really fail. If it would just stay opened in the background, it seems like it should work, in theory ;)

Hi, i've successfully got ubuntu running on my nexus s but i checked out your backtrack thread, downloaded the image and the backtrack.sh file and put them in sdcard/bt5. I can sh the backtrack.sh file but when i connect in tight vnc i connect to ubuntu instead of backtrack. Is it possible to run ubuntu and backtrack at the same time?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] devwithzachary:
The files should be placed in a folder 'sdcard/backtrack' and the password is different, it is 'backtrac'. It should be very much possible however you might not beable to have the both running at the same time but rather have to reboot and the run the other (the amount of resources two would use would likely cripple most devices)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] devwithzachary:
Little update ,the next release while I am working on the automation, and fixing last boot programs will included fixed java etc, with completely new build images (did try building 11.10 but still getting the GUI errors so will hold out for 12.04), and allow you to switch between Gnome and LXDE and also allow you to decide the screen size on boot. Means much less for me to upload and far easier method than opening the init script and editing it.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] GerManiac:
What Kernel do you suggest for the Nexus S, running Ubuntu
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] devwithzachary:
Ok a new test image is ready for download.

This is a updated large image (~3.5GB extracted) with the following updates:

Boot process now asks you for what screen size you want (type in the format 800x480 for example)

Boot process now lets you select what desktop enviroment you want to use (Gnome and LXDE included to start with more to come!)

Image has been recompiled to fix java and other programs

Image has been compressed using a different programs to fix errors when uncompressed in linux

note: this image works fine with the V5 script!

please test and let me know how it goes! if everything works I will update the paid app with a fast link tomorrow!
