connectbot has networking permissions. Is there a possibility that your root user is somehow restricted from accessing the network? (i.e. firewall settings)

Because of this, new bootstrap seed images now bundle chmod, chown, run-parts, and sed. The corresponding utilities provided by busybox do not seem to be sufficient for installing botbrew-debian-minimal.

Good question... there's currently no automated way, but I'm sorting it out. Install botbrew-wrapper, coreutils, and e2fsprogs, then try this:

botbrew2
cd /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/botbrew-basil
dd if=/dev/zero bs=1024k count=1024 > fs-new.img
mkfs.ext4 -F -m 0 -L botbrew fs-new.img
mkdir old
mount -o loop fs.img old
mkdir new
mount -o loop fs-new.img new
cp -auxv old/* new/
umount new
rmdir new
umount old
rmdir old
mv fs.img fs-old.img
mv fs-new.img fs.img

Then do control/settings -> restart. This makes a 1GB image; tweak the dd step to taste. Depending on your SD card's sequential write performance, you might be spending a lot of time writing out the new image. You might want to do an apt-get clean before running cp to avoid copying unneeded files. So... plan carefully; if you have a large-enough /sd-ext partition, it might be better to use that.
[Nook Color Android Development] shinji257:
Ok. Well I did that and it seemed to work well. I did the botbrew-debian-apt package then installed the above to give it a minimal load (I didn't have anything installed yet) and made a 2GB file. The longest part was the dd. The mkfs part didn't take long at all. Once it was done it showed the size at 1.97GB (close enough) and I switched over to botbrew-debian-minimal without issue. Thanks!

EDIT: Keep in mind here if you are going to go larger than the 1GB above or even the 2GB for me on FAT32/VFAT it's 4GB max due to filesystem restrictions.
[Nook Color Android Development] inportb:
Awesome! I figured I'd make a script out of this, to make it easier to grow/shrink images. And yeah, the resulting image would contain slightly less file data than the size of the image itself; this is just the filesystem metadata taking up some space.

those having issues with some of busybox commands inside botbrew's dropbear ssh/bash shell this little line will help

[Nook Color Android Development] inportb:
Thanks for the tip; Are you running into problems with missing or inadequate functions? In many cases, you could install coreutils, sed, tar, findutils, and friends to obtain the regular *nix utilities.

Oh, and this might simplify your command a bit:

busybox --list
busybox --list-full
[Nook Color Android Development] rocker2344:
ok thanks, i havent really messed with any type of nix system as basic as this (by basic i mean such little commands) but it has come in handy i can now shutoff my laptop that i used as a server.

oh "coreutils, sed, tar, findutils" where already installed, and i had the busy box issue.

that command i should post the url to where i found it.

AOKP Build ?

I tried to install the pdroid package on the

AOKP-Nook Color-Krylon360 b40 build, but got boot loops.

Has anyone tested the pdroid package with the AOKP build ?
[Nook Color Android Development] inportb:
Does the package support AOKP? It seems that you are doing a framework replacement, which has very little tolerance for incompatibility.

Meanwhile, I figured I'd simplify the installation process a bit. Now, you get a little menu after bootstrapping that lets you install Debian (and other things) with one tap -- easy!
[Nook Color Android Development] KAD79:
this is very nice little package, thanks for the work

I thought I'd pop in and share that I have this running on asus transformer TF300

did not see it listed in the website

I've only test a few things

ifconfig

nano

curl

all working on tf300 and I'm running Hydro-Phonic by seanzscreams

one suggestion or request, I was surprised to find no iwconf or iwlist ....

since these devices are primarily phones or tablets

I would have thought there would be more wireless utilities

oh well, I guess that just means, I can learn to compile it myself :)
[Nook Color Android Development] inportb:
If you are using botbrew basil, iwlist and iwconfig are in the wireless-tools package. They must be run as superuser.
[Nook Color Android Development] KAD79:
ok thanks, I see the basil package, will give it a go
[Nook Color Android Development] KAD79:
a little feedback on botbrew-basil & TF300

I had quite some difficulty getting the package to install

once opening the app, durring the initial set-up

select that I'd like to be able to us botbrew from cmd line

it starts the installation script

then stops to ask y/n to proceed

at this point botbrew does not accept any input from keyboard

resulting in a corrupt installation

that is unable to install any package

through quite a bit of trial and error, I got the package to install without requiring the y/n confirmation

after that everything has been golden

all emdebian packages I've installed have worked great

only exception is ethtool, but that I suspect is a kernal or hardware issue

so now that botbrew-basil is correctly installed, it's definetely a daily use app for me :good:
[Nook Color Android Development] dirtyreturn:
I'm interested to gain information on how to remove system files on the galaxy tab 10.1 T-Mobile edition.

How do you do it properly?

Recently I had seen that pdroid has been ported to ICS and is available through botbrew. wasn't able to get that package to show. Decided to try botbrew Basil a try as the packages seemed more interesting. Ended up going through the list and ended up installing a couple gigs worth. I bit off more than I could chew as I'm still unsure how to make things functional. The removal and force removal of packages cause the app to error when continuing. Any info on the proper order to remove them?

Also tried to remove the files by a root file manager. All that did was make the tab unusable IMO. Reflashed stock via odin-files still there. Data/cache wipe and the files were still there/are still there.

I would like to regain storage space. And then retry botbrew at a slower pace without actually jumping in.

FYI, this Black Exodus 0.5 port is only for CM9. Running this theme on Onecosmic or ICS Passion could have side-effect or other undesired behavior, such as boot-looping, or random FCs.

Make a Nandroid before attempting to run this theme.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Alex9090:
Yea backup is a must. Theme itself should be okay though. He used vrtheme format. I think it is kinda like morph as it only replaces images he changed in framework and sytemUI as opposed to whole apk. Anyways make a backup and flash.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] rsfaze:
I had to flash my phone again today so I figured I would give this CM9 them a shot on Passion 10.6

Flashed through CWR with no issues, rebooted without issue

Looking through at first glance I can see things like the clock are still blue and the pull down quick toggle images are not lined up since the drop down in Passion is not the same as CM9
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] xriderx66:
Can you post some pictures of what seems to be wrong?

Also, you just flashed that over ICS Passion without doing anything else?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] rsfaze:
already reflashed so no pics. I flashed over a stock 10.5
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Exel:
Well, Nexus .pngs are bigger, if that CM9 port to the i9000 has resized all images, it's fairly easy to port them to ICS Passion, the only thing left would be to edit some xmls.

Not sure what .apks would work, but most of them should.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] xriderx66:
Rsfaze already flashed them so I would assume the PNG files are resized already.

According to rsfaze we just need someone to reorganize the status bar since passion has a toggle etc added to it
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Exel:
Easy enough.

Just delete SystemUI.apk (That's where the status bar things are.)

My SystemUI was working just fine.

If you're willing to try it, upload the SystemUI from this theme and link me to it.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] rsfaze:
I might play around with this some more, when I have some time. How is the Nexus S treating you? I'm still going back and forth on buying one or getting the Galaxy Nexus.

Here is the systemUI contents...http://www.multiupload.com/OKF7W8D5G8
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Exel:
It's awesome, man. I love it.

I'd go with the Nexus S, I don't see what the big hype of the GNexus is.

Thanks, now I need the ICS Passion SystemUI.

EDIT: Mind sending me the whole SystemUI from the white theme, too? I need to decompile it myself.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] xriderx66:
I put what i thought u wanted.

i got the systemui.apk straight from the .zip of ICS Passion

but for the theme, it was already a folder and to upload i had to zip it up, and it seems as if the theme has less files than normal...

I also put the entire theme as attachment.

attached:

-ICS Passion System UI

-Black Exodus System Ui ( i don't think its correct though it doesn't look the same as the Passion .apk)

-The entire theme black exodus

edit: the entire black exodus theme didn't seem to want to be a attachment after i waited 10 mins for it to upload on xda...

so i got it up on multiupload.

Here is the exodus theme

[Motorola Photon 4G] CM9onmyMoPho:
Is it possible to change the standard Photon unlock screen to something similar to the Galaxy Nexus/ICS type unlock screen (drag unlock circle left/right to unlock/select something)? Is it possible to get a facial recognition app similar to ICS's unlock screen? Also, can a Google Music widget be placed on the unlock screen somehow?

EDIT: Also, how can I get that transparent Google Search bar? The squared/sharp edged one.

It seems that a new search bar was implemented recently, it just seems a bit bigger.

Yes, by using widgetlocker you can get a lockscreen that looks the same as ICS one. Don't know anything about facial unlock.

You can place any widget on your lockscreen through widgetlocker.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sahilk:
Okay I don't know if this is a bug in every Android version that still hasn't been fixed or is it an app that's causing it.

What happens is when I would be using an app like for example Google talk. I would try opening YouTube it would open calculator. And if I try opening messaging it would still open calculator. No matter which app I'd open it would open the wrong app. And I either have to kill all apps or restart my phone

I had this issue only my G2, my Nexus S, Anyone else having this?

Can't recall if I had it on my Sensation or not...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
If you open apps continually without closing them or going back to the homescreen then pushing back will cycle through them.. that's how it has always been. That's also how it is on WP7

I've seen this once on my Galaxy Nexus only, never on a Nexus S, of GS2. A reboot seemed to resolve the issue. I've not seen it again since.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonathan3579:
This is something i have encountered plenty of times. I certainly do not feel the need to come on this board and complain about my phone multitasking.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thequinox:
You're missing the point. It has nothing to do with the back button or cycling through programs. The problem is icons launching the wrong apps.

I'm on 4.0.2 stock and if had this happen once since I got my SGN. Never on any other of my Androids. A restart fixed it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonathan3579:
Then you guys have defective phones. Simple as that. Return it or stop complaing because most of us do not have these issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lowtrash:
Happened to me too. Usually helps to get rid of all alps in multitasking menu.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krohnjw:
This is an absolutely absurd and incorrect statement. There is nothing "defective" about the phone. It's a software issue that occurs under a fairly specific set of circumstances.

I've had this happen starting with 4.0 builds on the Nexus S as well as on the GN. It didn't happen pre-ICS. What it does occur hitting back actually will back through the entire stack of activities oddly enough.

When this occurs you can back through the stack to a point, hit home and then hit the offending icon again and it will resume in the stack at the point in which you hit home. If you actually back entirely down the stack you'll get to the home screen and the expected app will finally launch. Depending on what's been opened since the last reboot though this can be a huge pain.

From looking in to this the only real thing I found reported was an issue with activity re-parenting. This was causing activities that allowed re-parenting to be launched in the wrong context and causing a similar behavior.

So far I've only noticed it occurring with the gapps (Messaging, Music) launching the wrong activity, but this is merely an observation.

If you can isolate a manner in which to recreate this scenario it would be helpful to report it, as this is definitely not the intended behavior. If you don't want to report it, but believe you can recreate it I can test it on a few devices / builds and submit it.

So far I haven't been able to purposefully recreate the issue, although I've spent minimal time trying as it is only a minor annoyance. If it occurred more frequently it would be another story.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lowtrash:
Have you tried what I wrote? To just swipe away the apps in the multitasking menu/button? I've had it twice and both times that have been enough for me to sort it out.

Sent from my Nokia 3210
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krohnjw:
No, I've just backed down the stack. I am curious as to the trigger for the behavior though as it is a rather uncommon occurrence.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonathan3579:
But the OP clearly destroys your theory seeing as how this has happened on other handsets (pre-ICS as a matter of fact) as well. What's your rebuttal for that? To add to that, if a device pre-ICS did have this problem... Would it not be considered defective? *Keeping in mind that most people don't have the problem.* I have absolutely no issues no matter the number of apps I have open. So is my device defective because everything opens as it should? As I said before, this is a very small group of people who are experiencing this so I think that negates that something isn't defective. There are plenty of "defective" products that function generally as intended but have small quirks. Your turn...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krohnjw:
Where do you see this claimed to have happened on any pre 4.0 rom?

I don't see how anything is "destroyed". The fact remains that you have an app launching an activity that does not belong to its package. The back button then proceeds to back down the activity stack rather than properly exit the app when the main activity is exited.

The fact that it is only noticed by a small subset of users is not indicative in any way of a "defective" handset - its far more likely that it's a very specific software issue triggering the problem.

The fact that the sub system is allowing the user to back down the ENTIRE activity stack with the back button rather than exiting properly when the main activity of *each* package is exited doesn't exactly scream bad hardware....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonathan3579:
I get your point but something being defective doesn't always dictate that it's a hardware problem, wouldn't you agree? I never specifically said it was a hardware issue. Either way, it's hard to say what the REAL issue is until someone takes time to reproduce this. Just for reference though: If a hardware/software manufacturer cannot reproduce said issue, they'd deem said products experiencing it defective.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wonshikee:
Yep I know what you mean, happens to me on Google Music.

Th easiest solution I found was to force stop the app that's bugged out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] offroadr35:
I've had this too. Swiping away the app I'm trying to open and the one it is opening instead has fixed it for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krohnjw:
Defective software I have no issue with - that's a harsh classification for a bug, but not incorrect.

Your statement of "Return it" followed by "most of us do not have these issues" seemed to imply a belief that the physical unit must be defective (in comparison to a unit that did not experience this issue) rather than a behavior or set of behaviors causing as software issue as most users do not experience this. Thereby returning would resolve the issue.

Given the symptoms present when this occurs I can't imagine this to be true i any way, shape or form. Especially given that this bug has existed since 4.0 hit AOSP and on builds for the Nexus S as well (hence why it's absurd to blame this on a singular hardware fault of a single device).

I am interested in reproducing the issue, or capturing a logcat the next time it occurs (it only seems to happen when I am in the car unfortunately) to see if the WindowManager of ApplicationManager are supposedly starting the proper activities or the issue might lie with the package manager.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] SaxManEric2:
Hey all, my wife's original Droid has had one of the pins in the USB port fall out. No charge, no PC connection. Still usable by taking the battery out to charge, though.

I was cleaning it up, unrooting to re-root when this all happened.

Now, I can't get it rooted. I allowed OTA updates (stupidly) and it's at 2.2.3.

I've tried every stock update I can find from 2.0 to 2.2 and I keep getting an error:

error in /sd/card/update.zip (Status 2)

or Status 7 sometimes as well.

So, two questions:

1. What to do about the broken USB?

and

2. How can I root it without connecting to the PC?

All apps and data are backed up through Titanium, but can't get to them.

Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Well, as I mentioned, I stupidly allowed it to go to 2.2.3, which means Z4 and UniversalAndroot neither one work. They stop at 2.2.1 (or .2, can't remember).

If anyone knows of a phone based root that works for 2.2.3, PLEASE let me know!

And just a reminder, no USB port means I can't use Super1Click or SBF.

Also, we only have about 2 months to upgrade and can't really see buying something right now if we can get this to work.
