Some help for an Ubuntu Noob/Not a Noob to Windows

Hi all,

Long story short, I no longer have Windows (nor a way to load Windows without a purchase; I'd rather not). So I have a fresh install of Ubuntu Linux 11.10. I have read this guide and some of the helpful responses and have yet to be able to get adb and fastboot up and running. I am beginning to understand the nuances of Ubuntu and have tackled adb and fastboot in Windows but Ubuntu is different. I would say I have put in two 12 hour sessions with no desire to pack it in and go back to Windows (I am avoiding a VM as well).

Here is where I seem to be stuck (mind you I have done a fresh install numerous times to start with a fresh playing field in case I have messed up something): Whether downloading the full SDK through Eclipse (cos I'd like to dev apps soon and why not have it?) or downloading the SDK on its own, I get it without fail. The steps leading up to entering in commands for terminal so that the computer recognizes either just my Nexus or a slew of OEMs are easy enough but maybe I am messing up. It is where getting the computer to see my device (udev steps) I can't seem to get it right. I have even looked at other guides for reference (most seem messy and convoluted) but keep coming back here.

I know you probably need more to go on and I am sooooooo willing to tell more. I just hope someone is down to help a brother out. Like I said, I just need some direction. I have manually rooted and all that jazz, just in windows. Thanks in advance for your help.

Are you getting a "waiting on device" message or something similar when you run adb or fastboot?

Forget about the udev nonsense (not important really until you start developing full time) and just drop a sudo before your commands.

You can shoot me a PM or a gtalk (same username as my xda) if you want and I'd be more than happy to help you get your system going.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dcarr622:
Thanks, still a bit more annoying that Windows but this tutorial makes it easy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] grantith:
Sorry if this is ignorant, but can I use these instructions with Unix & terminal on Mac OS X? I'm thinking yes???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lost Dog:
I rooted mine in linux as well... No problems. For some reason I was able to do it much easier though...

I did the fastboot oem unlock step above (Part 1). Rebooted then installed superuser from the android market. Then I installed Clockworkmod from the android market.

Done.

Not sure if I'm missing out on something by doing it this way but so far I've had no issues....
[Android Apps and Games] xenio2000:
I am looking for a multimedia player that can play a folder with mixed images and videos like a presentation.

I have downloaded all the player in the Android Market but all those just plays only video or only picture slideshow.

I would like to put some videos and some image in a folder and the player start playing videos and when the video ends if there is an image just show it in a slideshow.

Something like the Photo Frames that can plays all jpegs photos and video in sequence.

Any ideas?

Thanks
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mprince8071:
I've searched other threads and other forums but can't seem to find anything regarding my specific problem. I can scan for and pair with bluetooth devices from the bluetooth settings menu. However, I cannot connect to any devices. It always says "paired but not connected." I have tried both soft and hard reboots but get the same problem. Here's the crazy part. If I use a third party application that requires bluetooth connectivity (such as text messaging, bluetooth file transfer, or PDANet), I can connect to the paired devices and use them appropriately even in other apps and with a pretty decent range. However, bluetooth settings in the settings menu still shows the device as "paired but not connected" even when it is clearly connected and functioning properly via third party apps. I can also connect to the NC from other devices like the phone or computer though the NC still shows the device as "paired but not connected." The reason this oddity is a problem for me is because I cannot find a third party app to allow me to connect my headset, keyboard, or mouse through another route. The NC will find and pair with the devices but will not connect. I'm using CM7 stable version 7.1 and it was a clean install from stock. Is there any way to fix this issue to allow me to connect to devices like keyboards, mice, and headsets, or can someone point me to an app I may have somehow missed that will allow me to connect to these devices through a third party app?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mprince8071:
So I have found a couple of applications that will connect the mouse and keyboard but still no go on the head set? Does anyone know of a fix for the problem of not being able to connect from the settings screen or alternatively of an app that will connect the headset as a workaround? The headset is a Plantronics 520.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mprince8071:
Guess no one can help with this one. Tried flashing the latest nightly build but that only temporarily fixed the problem. I'll assume this is a shortcoming in the ROM and keep looking for a third party app that might provide a workaround.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bigjohn_S:
So you say you can't use a bt headset with CM7.1? I'm sure my wife did use a headset w/ our cm7.1 nook-color... never tried a keyboard or mouse... I have a computer for that...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xdanapo:
Hi,

I compiled ICS by myself. At first I initialized the repo with

repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-4.0.3_r1

and then I synced it and installed the binary drivers.

Then I did

source build/envsetup.sh
lunch

and I choosed number 8 (full_maguro-userdebug). After that I compiled it with:

make -j1 otapackage

After all that I get a flashable rom which runs nice on my Galaxy Nexus. But it seems the build was not complete. For example phase beam was not compiled. How can I get a full build of Ice Cream Sandwich?

Hi recently added SamsungGALAXY_S_GTI9000_XXJVT_2.3.5 along with Amestris_IceCandy_V7.0_RC1 I added CWM but am not getting any media sound. Can hear the ringtones when I scroll through and pick but no sounds from media player or games any ideas what I can do?

Much appreciated
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ishangoyal:
you would have checked but still.. have you checked the volume settings for your phone..

if they are fine then you should reflash the rom ..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lartious:
RE:

Yes volume settings are as they should be did another flash of the rom still no sound :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ishangoyal:
try some another kernel maybe :confused:

if this one supports voodoo sound, you can install voodoo control app and check if there is something amiss there...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nabil alami:
try going back to stock and check there also check if you flashed the rom correctly...

i see most of the mods are for 4.0.3 . any good kernel that works with this rom? that has oc gpu and uv?

The senior member Theos0o has created a skype mod for our i9003, you can download it here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20781120&postcount=1695

The video works well, and now appears the option to rotate the camera during a video call, so the rotation issue, can be corrected during a videocall now. I've tried a video call between skype PC and my i9003, and everything works perfect!

Today is another happy day for our community, we already have two videocall app working prefectly: Tango and Skype.

Between this, and the advances in CM7, MIUI, Kernels,.... we can be happy and proud of our community.

Merry Christmas!

[Samsung Infuse 4G] jefffeely:
When I bought my first Infuse back in July i was pretty excited to learn how to use it and get into developing for Android. It was my first Android phone so I didn't know enough to know that I was buying Samsung's red headed step child. Since then I've been working on learning the various ins and outs of the phone. I've read all the posts in the Infuse forums, and looked through the githubs of the various amazing dev's who have worked so hard to give us the awesome roms we have. I feel pretty comfortable with the phone, and I'm still excited to take things to the next level.

Yet I can't help but feel discouraged. I have very few doubts about my ability to get ICS working on the Infuse, but I'm getting pretty tired of seeing nothing but naysaying from the last wave of experienced dev's. Obviously there are going to be hurdles, but how about offering encouragement to those of us who haven't given up yet? Isn't XDA about making the impossible happen? I have other phones I could focus on. I bought a Nexus 4G so I could learn how ICS AOSP is supposed to work and look before I bothered trying to blindly get it running on the Infuse. It is a ton of fun developing for that phone and I've already been able to do some pretty nifty things. I bought an sgs2 so that I could have a phone that had current dev work being done on it. I bought a rezound so that I could have a good solid daily driver (man I love that phone). In spite of all that, it is the Infuse that I want to do dev work for because it was my first love, and because it will be a fun challenge.

I just don't know if it is worth the effort any more. Are there enough positive people still left here that I would want to care about? I'm going to work on the phone regardless, but as it stands now, I don't see anything to gain from continuing to grow to be a part of this community.

I keep reading that things can't be done because we don't have the right drivers, or the right sources, or bad sources or etc etc. Is it true that it can't be done at all? Or is it true that it can't be done because no one wants to (or can) put in the amount of time that it will take to get things working?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Optimus-Prime:
Meh, you cant get something down with out the right equipment, the equipment being the codes, drivers, and sources. it could be possibly done, but you got to understand that the people who dev for this phone, got lives too. they cant just be stuck to a computer trying to get something to work.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] diablo009:
Put it like this... we have an amazing hardware... we have software ready to be used... but we don't have the interfacing unit with us... and this is what is holding back the devs
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jefffeely:
If it is just a matter of time then great. Obviously it takes time to write the right drivers/driver wrappers etc etc. That just isn't the tone of most of the posts. "It can't be done" tends to be what it is said.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Drivers can't be written without documentation.

That's the problem - there are a lot of proprietary binary blobs required to support various hardware, for which there is no documentation. Reverse engineering these would be hundreds of hours of effort.

See Bluetooth on CM7 as an example.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jefffeely:
I agree with this. But given that we already have CM7, shouldn't we be able to look at that code and use it to translate to the changes in ICS? I'm not being able to describe very well what I'm thinking. Something like using the CM7 code as a HAL?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
its a crapshoot maybe it will work out like cm7. maybe it wont. I wish you luck. Im simply not a programmer. if I was I'd offer help. it depends a lot on what can and can't be used or adapted from gingerbread.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] viniturb0:
I have just bought an unlocked skyrocket and I live in the UK.

I'm very happy with it,

1)It is running 2.3.5 and I can't upgrade it and shows a communication failed error there is an update but it's not available cos the servers are busy I went to device manager and cleared the cache and it still says the same thing. How do I upgrade?

2) What is the best way to remove the AT&T apps

3) what is the best and safest method to root which does a proper unroot later if required?

4)How do remove carrier iq as it is on this device?

5)Is there anyway to remove the AT&T branding?

I would be so happy if an expert could help me

Thank you in advance
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jedah:
This is the method that I used to root. But be careful when you do it. Supposedly this doesn't work with the 2.3.6 update.

http://forums.androidcentral.com/sk...27-want-root-under-10-minutes-what-i-did.html

After that, I used Root Uninstaller (in the market) to freeze or uninstall apps I didn't want. Another popular app to uninstall bloatware is Titanium Backup.

Unfortunately, I have no experience with putting the device back to stock.

Not sure how to remove Carrier IQ. I think this requires a custom rom (can someone else confirm?).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pentafive:
After calling 911 the other night for an emergency my phone wouldn't let me use data for 5 minutes. I tried to turn WiFi on and it would not connect either. Did a battery pull and replaced it with fully charged battery and still - wouldn't let me do any data until this Emergency Callback Mode timer expired.

Just wanted to let everyone know...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
Seems like the "authentication" issue that was going around for awhile. Phone failed to authenticate with the network or just couldn't find a signal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pentafive:
I don't think it was an auth issue, more like a feature. Blackberry users have had the same thing. On a BB you can make a regular call and clear the timer, not so on my Nexus.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
Seems like a network feature then..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kangxi:
That's neat. So your data connection can't interfere with anything if 911 tries to call you back.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Very smart.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GeLopez:
after a few minutes the phone will alert you that it is out of emergency mode. a very cool feature i think.

it happened to me when i called 911 on my original droid.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aindow:
I wonder if this is the same for 999 or 112?
[Milestone 2 General] Gauche:
I got an old version of Argent2Stone (1.7 or 1.8, I think) on my phone. Do I need to do something specific or should I try to install as if my phone is on stock froyo?

Thanks!
[Milestone 2 General] ZyrByt:
copy zip from tezet`s site into sd card

go to recovery in bootmenu

make full backup (system,data,cache,boot and devtree)

double wipe (wipe cache and dalvik cache)

optionally wipe battery stats

Install zip from sdcard
[Milestone 2 General] boorce.com:
I'll add this to the operations described by ZyrByt :

Do a full backup with CWM before flashing !

As CM9 is still in developpement, you can have annoying issues.

The backup give you a way of quick rollback to your old AgentStone.

EDIT : HOOOPS !! Too fast readoing... ZyrByt already said what to do with the backup ;) sorry;..

Hey guys,

Thought it might be good to start a topic where people can share what can be removed from autostarting every time their SGS2 boots. The app 'Autostarts' reveals that there is ALOT of stuff that starts - I've managed to disable stuff like Social Hub, Music Hub etc but just wondering what else I can disable in order for a quicker boot and for less things to run in the background?

Thanks (:

I'm not sure, as I can only speak from my own personal experience.

I currently have +56gb downloaded this billing cycle, and I'm still getting as of my last speed test 42.56mbps down.

I think if they throttled, they would have already cut me off a while ago.
[HTC Rezound] THE-COPS:
Awfully long PING time. Although you had 3 signal bars. Maybe the network experiencing slowdowns in your area due to heavy usage??

---------- Post added at 07:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:08 PM ----------

56gb?????? WTF
[HTC Rezound] Slacker101:
There have been issues with 4g everywhere throughout the day. Unless you were in the top 4% of the data users for last month they most likely didn't throttle you and if they did you would have noticed it already. They do it on a month by month basis and unthrottle you at the end of the month assuming that you didn't somehow end up in the top 4% again.
[HTC Rezound] randpost:
I've been trying to improve my torrent ratio on private torrent sites via 4g. so i nearly filled my sdxc64gb card to pad my upload stats. Thank god I have excellent 4g coverage in my area. 4g easily beats my Cox Premiere connection, although I do have to limit my peer connections to maintain excellent speeds.
[HTC Rezound] THE-COPS:
Well then, dont be surprised if VZW throttles your connection. Thats hella HUGE bandwidth.lol
[HTC Rezound] randpost:
TBH, I expected some throttling long ago on previous 4g phones, yet it never happened. I wouldn't be surprised or upset, I actually feel as if I deserve it. Anyway I currently have 6 phones on my account, 5 which are family planned and 1 that isn't (My Rezound), and all have unlimited data plans, but my phones is the only one actually using abnormal amounts of data. I'm not sure if that plays a part in the scheme of things.
[HTC Rezound] brisdaddy1207:
There's no reason to be using that much data from a phone. I'm going to try to be nice but you are the reason they cap data and throttle speeds, so the best decision is to get a home network before they cap even older plan's.
[HTC Rezound] randpost:
I have a home network connection and i get 50mbps down and 5mbps up. I'm still going to use my unlimited 4g data for all it's worth and more. Is there some unwritten rule that I should police myself in regards to 4g data consumption?
[HTC Rezound] AndroidGraphix:
Rotflmao. Seriously man. Keep it on the DL.

[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
I think the point is that wireless data is limited bandwidth so as more users come on 4g, there is less to go around. It's not wired which should be more unlimited. I can understand them limiting the top abusers.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
You're not being throttled. Verizon doesnt throttle 4G, only 3G, and on congested towers during peak times. The whole network is having an outage today. So that's probably what it is.

What ratio are you trying to pad? It's an easy way to get caught sharing illegal content sharing that much at that speed, I should know and I got caught sharing at 20 kbs kept it low to stay invisible, worked 99/100 like they say about everything. After the email from cox I am done at torrent sites.

torrents can be legal. With that said, I'm on private torrent sites. I'm free of the MPAA and organizations like it reporting my actions to my ISP.

Seems the built-in ICS Calendar has a bug when creating 11pm events. Seems to default to 25 hours duration (till midnight of day after next) rather than the normal 1 hour. Plus, editing that event, automatically adds another 2 days to the duration.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jirv311:
I've been on Samsung for the last couple years and just picked up the SGS2 a couple weeks ago mainly because it already had root. Now that the Vivid has an unlocked bootloader, just trying to decide if I should jump to it before the 30 days is up?

Anybody here had the SGS2 and gone to the Vivid or vice versa that can assist?

I'm so torn!! :D
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
My opinion: Jump. While I've not tried the GS2, I had a GS1. Other than Voodoo sound, it was pretty rubbish, and I definitely don't trust Samsung to make a smartphone anymore.

Also, Touchwiz looks like poo and runs like it too. Sense is a bit fat, but you get a fully functioning and fully integrated experience.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ClippinWings:
That all depends....

Do you want an over-saturated, painful to look at, cartoonish display with a bad UI?

Or a higher res, vivid, true color display, decent UI.... and LTE?

See my sig.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Longcat14:
Only advantage the vivid has is LTE, but you can get the skyrocket.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ClippinWings:
I'd consider the display a HUGE advantage.... bigger than LTE even.

the SGSII display is so bad I would have returned mine whether the Vivid was released or not. And that's saying something considering i was using a Dell Streak with a shattered screen previous to my SGSII.

And the Skyrocket is a joke...

It takes the already bad screen in the SGSII, and destroys the pixel density by supersizing it without bumping the resolution.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jirv311:
I agree. I didn't care much for the Skyrocket.

So, is it safe to say now that the Vivid will probably end up with MIUI and/or ICS eventually?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] kxhawkins:
Absolutely. It's on HTC's official "Will get ICS" list, which makes AOSP/custom ICS even easier.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jirv311:
How's the quality of the phone itself? As in, how does it feel in hand? My local AT&T store didn't have it and the Best Buy near me that does would not open a box for me to look at so I haven't even held it yet.
