[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gaetawoo:
funny, i thought of the same thing two. i had bought at 15' cable (cause what's the point if it's just 6') so i can use it from my couch. the first one was ultra loose. but i got another one that came tonight that is MUCH better, not perfect solid but completely live-with-able. maybe it's just the cable plug. but on either plug i noticed that the plastic end of the plug does not hit the tablet. it seems to bottom out on the connector first. so notsure how beveling my cables would have helped.

anyways... thanks for the comments... makes me want to say, WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST DO MINI-HDMI!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Andreas527:
Think the problem with loose cable is the same you can feel with the charger connection and any other stuff you connect to prime

Prime have curved edges. If you look at the cable when it is connected you can see that there isn't any support for the cable on the backside. On the front it looks right but turn the prime over you can see were the problem is.

This can bee notice with the usb-adapter to, that sits really loose because it seems to bee to short. And there isn't any material that support the connection just because Primes curved edges.

Think this is a big failure from Asus. And that they not going to release adapters and cable that are designed for Prime. instead we have to use the same accessories from the first transformer TF101.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hairdewx:
got my micro HDMI cable from Amazon today.

It fits all the way in, but does feel "loose", but I get full picture and sound comes out of both my speakers. It doesn't feel loose enough to fall out, and I had a blast playing Shadowgun and GTA 3 on my TV with my Xbox 360 wireless controller :D

One thing I noticed is that it still displays on both the tablet and the TV at the same time, is there a way to turn off the main display and only display on an external device?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Juls317:
alright, so I have tried to restore full backups and advanced restoring /data through CWM both through bhundven's kernel and drhonk's kernel and for some reason i've gotten the md5 mismatch error everytime...i have no idea what is causing it, anyone have any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beastmode:
I believe, not 100% sure, that only on bhunds kernel can you successfully do backups n restore through cwm so that might be why it isn't working with Dr.honks kernel
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] finch8423:
I'd be weary with the backup/restore function though. I wasn't able to do it on CWM 5.x.x.x. It sent my phone into a ridiculous bootloop, with no recovery, period. Had to reflash everything through odin. I've done backups before, so I know I didn't do anything wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Juls317:
I used to be able to advance restore through honks kernel so i dont know why i cant get it to work
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] xolanir:
Bhundven's kernel is a cwm5 and it won't restore any backups made with drhonk's cwm3 kernel. He stated that in his OP somewhere. So any backups you make with cwm5, you can to a full image restore through cwm5. Hope this answers your question.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Juls317:
Knew thwt and made sure to double check everytime
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Right, the only limitation I know of with backup/restore on my new kernel is you have to backup with >= 5.0.2.7 and restore with >= 5.0.2.7. I'm still looking through bootable recovery changes to figure out what exactly changed so maybe we could make a version that supports both. But I'm not sure what the limitations of that would be.

You cannot restore a backup made with 3.0.2.8x.

If there is anything different you see, please report it.

I have an thunderbolt that I was running bamf 3.0 (I think), I havent used it for a while so I gave it to a buddy. He took it and started playing with the bamf toolkit changing the font, ever since then it gets stuck at the HTC screen. I can still boot into recovery and everything even still flash roms through CWM, but no matter what it sticks at the white HTC screen, can the excellent XDA peeps help me through this?

I am trying to root my KF for the first time but when I try to run any adb commands, adb can't find my KF. I am assuming that this is a driver issue of some sort, but I've followed instructions to the letter. Here are the steps that I've taken to install the android sdk and google usb driver:

- I downloaded and installed the Java SE Development Kit

- I downloaded Android SDK Manager and from it installed the following packages:

- Android SDK Tools

- Android SDK Platform-tools

- Android 4.03 API

- Google USB driver package

- I edited C:\Users\Name\.android\adb_usb.inf so that it reads:

0×1949

- I edited C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver\android_winusb.inf to read (in part):

- I went to Device Manager, clicked on the kindle listing and installed the Google USB driver such that the kindle is now listed in device manager as "Android Composite ADB Interface"

- from the command line I change directory to c:\Program Files (x86)\Android\adnroid-sdk\platform-tools\ and I type:

adb kill-server

adb devices

and the under "List of devices attached" it lists nothing. Just to be sure, I installed burritoroot on my KF, ran it and then ran adb root on my pc, and again adb could not find my KF.

Does anyone know what I could be doing wrong?
[Kindle Fire General] marty331:
Just reinstall your drivers.
[Kindle Fire General] jpegbert:
I've tried reinstalling the google usb driver both manually, and by using the batch file that comes with the Kindle Fire Utility. I've even tried uninstalling the ADB driver, thinking that Windows 7 would revert back to its own driver, but it just reinstalled the adb composite driver again on its own.

What doesn't make sense to me is why Windows can see the device and mount it as a drive using the adb composite device driver, but adb still can't detect it.
[Kindle Fire General] UserDoesNotExist:
Have you tried completely uninstalling the Android SDK package as well as the driver, then letting Windows reinstall the driver? It might be pulling the driver still from the SDK package.

I actually had a similar issue when using the batch that came with KFU. When I installed it, my computer no longer recognised my Kindle. Not adb, not USB mounting, nothing. After uninstalling the Google USB driver and just using the default driver, everything worked without a hitch.
[Kindle Fire General] jpegbert:
Problem Solved. I ran the Kindle Fire Utility driver installer batch file again and, inexplicably, it works now. Thanks for the help.
[Kindle Fire General] the_kwa:
just to make sure, the only fix for this issue is to delete my andriod sdk? it took me over an hour to download and set it up, it's finally working the way i want it (on my xoom, bionic, Galaxy Nexus, Coby Kyros).

I really don't want to delete it... but if it's truly the only way.
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
no - it's a driver issue - has nothing to do with your sdk:
[Kindle Fire General] the_kwa:
i realized it was a driver issue... reading the thread led me to believe that sdk was problem.

I fixed it by uninstalling the kindle drivers under "devices and printers". My fire was using my Nexus drivers for some reason.

This Kindle Fire is a real pain in the ass when it comes to drivers!!!! We should not have to totally destroy a perfectly good working SDK and uninstall everything just to make room for this thing ----

I'm sorry but you can enable wifi while in airplane mode ;) don't see why this is handy for inactive devices? If someone decides to turn it on?
[Motorola Droid 3] bitz_dv:
This would be perfect for some old d1s and d2s I have laying around. I know its easy to enable airplane mode then re-enable wifi, but being able to do it automatically is great. I use them for remotes and easily replaced devices for reading in the hot tub. The devices last a several days on wifi, but if I forget to kill the cell radio, they last just a day and change.

Id like to see a media centric rom for old phones that can be used in the car or connected to speakers optimized for best battery life on wifi only. Think how many retired D1s are in the wild!
[Motorola Droid 3] spunker88:
You can just set airplane mode and it will retain the setting after reboots. What does this do that is any different?

On some phones the airplane mode doesn't stick. Just makes things seamless. The script works great on my older android phone. I can reboot and walk away. It's just a nice to have.

The remainder of this post contains historical information. Please read the update. Thank you.

__________________

​

BotBrew is

a repository of *nix software (such as bzip2, curl, openssl, python, and ruby) for ARM-based Android

a package manager powered by Opkg, a lightweight program that feels like dpkg+apt

a service manager powered by runit

a build system for anyone looking to build and package his/her own scripts and programs

Thanks: mateorod and xela92 for testing the heck out of this thing; racks11479 for delicious artwork; you for using this project, reporting bugs, and making it better

If I missed anyone, let me know!

Warning: BotBrew has been used successfully on a variety of rooted ARM devices, and is developed using a Nook Color, but you should still make backups before trying, just in case.

Alternative (Command Line) Installation

If the BotBrew app fails to bootstrap, you might be able to bootstrap using the command line:

wget http://repo.botbrew.com/anise/bootstrap/install.sh -O- | su

Such a setup should be compatible with the app, though it may not work perfectly. The manual has more tips for command line usage.

Enjoy!

Changes

5/20: the next release of BotBrew is in development!

4/20: improve support for long package names; fix list of repairable packages

4/16: new UI for devices with wide-enough screens; experimental support for moving to /sd-ext

4/9: Google Play release of BotBrew "anise"; previous release is now BotBrew.oldstable.apk; lots of updates since oldstable

[Nook Color Android Development] mateorod:
Well, I now have python, ncurses, openssl and a couple other packages running on my nook. I have indeed printed 42, and even wrote my own (proprietary) code to advance the project some that printed 43. Advanced scripting.

But seriously, this is sweet. I am all over anything that opens up this device. I don't think I have ever bought a piece of hardware that has so outstripped my expectations.

Thanks for the program. I will report back after I play with it some.
[Nook Color Android Development] poltak11:
Wow, what a great idea! Looks like my Nook will be used for a bit more than entertaining my family with casual games; nice to have some productivity back :) I was thinking about installing Ubuntu on my Nook for this sort of thing, but there's no need anymore.

It would be great to get this a bit more recognition, and getting more useful things such as gcc or even the GNU toolchain installable with this package manager. Might put a link in my signature, if you don't mind.

Now to look for an affordable lightweight bluetooth keyboard...
[Nook Color Android Development] inportb:
You read my mind ;) I got binutils, gmp, mpfr, and mpc working earlier today... and gcc is in the pipeline. My main reason for wanting a native gcc is that some software (such as python) do not like to be cross-compiled at all. I'm having a bit of trouble with gcc, but I'll keep hacking away at it.

Please, go right ahead and share this thread; this is a young project but I think it could be more useful. On the one hand, there's a whole lot of free software (such as the GNU stuff) just asking to be built and packaged; on the other hand, many people who hang out around here have a few scripts/programs of our own to distribute.

In case you're interested, here's where all the packages live. There are actually two more ways to install (remote and local) stuff using Opkg:

opkg install http://host/path/to/package.opk

opkg install path/to/package.opk
[Nook Color Android Development] Fritos2:
Very nice project !!!

I have python 2.7 standalone on android.

One problem, in python commandline i can't import hashlib, i can fix this?

Thanks.
[Nook Color Android Development] inportb:
So, I just got a working build of GCC+binutils and pushed the packages to the stable repo. Please keep in mind that for now, stable means I tested it a couple of times and it works, so be careful and use at your own risk.

To install gcc and binutils, make sure you have about 160mb of storage free in /system and run:

opkg update
opkg install gcc-4.6

That's about 70mb's worth of downloads, and my server's underpowered, so please wait patiently and retry if it fails (failure when receiving data from the peer). When that's done, you might want to compile something:

cd /cache
wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1213413/htdocs/agcc/hello.c
gcc -o hello hello.c

And if that completed successfully, you should have a new executable, which you could run for a classic greeting. I was not able to get the C++ libraries compiled, but C code should compile alright.

@Fritos2: I've been trying to fix this issue, but I'm not confident that I could do it without help. Python (and Perl) are very resistant to cross-compilation, and even after I hammered it into submission, some modules do not work. Another module that I'd really like is readline, which gives you enhanced editing capabilities in the interactive interpreter. I'm a Pythonista, but I've got to say: Ruby does cross-building right. Even sqlite3 supports readline. I suspect that Python might have to be compiled natively, and this is where native gcc comes in.

I'd appreciate any help, of course :)
[Nook Color Android Development] Fritos2:
I'll follow this project with great interesting.

:o
[Nook Color Android Development] inportb:
Hey guys, there have been a few updates:

opkg's lock file has been moved to /cache/opkg/lock so there's no need for a read-write /system just to query packages

gnupg has been packaged, for those who like to sign their stuff

python... well, I'm still working on it >.<

Anyway, I thought I'd do something to make this project more accessible. I don't have any apk's for you yet, but I've attached a screenshot of the work-in-progress ;)
[Nook Color Android Development] mateorod:
I am very impressed with the progress. I am a super-noob but have enjoyed toying with the packages from your opening post. I haven't had time to do much but explore, but this sure does open up a whole new world for the nook, from an accessability stand point alone. I wouldn't be suorised to see an uptick in interest as some if the more experienced coders are able to turn their attention from cm9.

I will probably install those latest packages sometime this weekend. Just real strong stuff.

Edit. Ok, o I just went ahead and did it now. Obviously, I couldn't get it to work. Have downloaded the FCC and got the hello file fro the dropbox. I ran the gcc -o hello hello.c and was returned a hashtag only. If I ran gcc hello, it outputted the hello program code. I tried several things basically willynilly until I got tired of getting a fatal error and having the build canceled.

If this is too basic and will clog the thread, I would happily accept a pm with a good tutorial. Thanks a bunch.
[Nook Color Android Development] Fritos2:
The problem with python maybe relationed with python-devel package?

Sorry is the question is stupid, i'm so noob. ;)
[Nook Color Android Development] inportb:
The Python build process has two steps: first, you get the main Python executable, and then you get the modules. The executable built in the first step is used to test the modules in the second step. So, naively cross-compiling Python would result in most modules not passing the test (because you cannot actually run the Python you just built), and these modules would be removed. As it turns out, you could patch the build scripts to run the tests using a host-native Python, but even then, there are a few modules with particular requirements that still don't pass. This is where we are now, but I think we could do better.
[Nook Color Android Development] inportb:
Okay, so more progress: BotBrew.apk is out in the wild! I decided to put it off until I got some basic functionality working. What is this?

a basic GUI for package management

lists all packages

searches for packages by name

shows package information

installs/upgrades/removes packages

manages list of repositories

I've only really tested it with CM7, but it works on the latest CM9 previews as well.

Screenshots

​

No worries. If gcc did not complain and dropped you back in the shell, this means it's done! Just list the directory to find a new file named hello, which you could run:

# gcc -o hello hello.c
# ls
backup download hello.c opkg
dalvik-cache hello lost+found recovery
# ./hello
hello world
#

I hope this helps!
[Nook Color Android Development] BobbyBest:
Sorry if this sounds ignorant but is there any future usage aside from being a very interesting project? Will we be able to distribute open source projects / software specifically made for Android devices like on common Linux distributions?
[Nook Color Android Development] inportb:
A valid question, I think. BotBrew has the potential of becoming a Cydia of sorts, distributing system extensions, interface customizations, and other useful software for rooted Android devices. Android has a vibrant community of programmers and scripters, but there isn't any standard way to manage software that are not apps. And there's a large body of open source Linux software that might work well on Android. Of course, BotBrew is also able to handle root apps that live in /system/app (i.e. gapps); for user-level apps, the various app stores already work quite well.

In order for this to become a serious platform, we'll need a couple of things: a solid technical foundation, developer support, and a user base. I've been making progress mostly towards the first point; hopefully the rest would follow.
