http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Android_Debug_Bridge

Ok, to get to a shell on the Nook you have to use a shell on the host computer.

In Windows, a shell is known as cmd.exe, "MS-DOS Prompt" or command.

That's the (by default) black window with text.

You can start a Windows shell through the Program list if a shortcut already exists.

If not, you can start it by holding down the Windows key, hitting "R" and typing cmd.exe in the box.

The little box is in a sense already a shell, but it makes a bigger looking shell.

The program adb.exe is the one that you will run to interact with your Nook.

You will have to either be in the same directory as where adb.exe or else have that directory in your PATH.

There are a bunch of commands that you can use (documented in the second link above).

You must first tell ADB how to connect to your device through either a "connect" (for WiFi) or "usb".

Once you are connected you can issue the other commands.

adb shell

This will let your Windows shell access a shell on your Nook.

Since this is an entirely different system, the commands are different.

In Windows, to list files you type "dir", in Linux (the basis of Android), you type "ls".
[Nook Touch General] vdguzman:
I can get to the directory of adb.exe on command.

I don't get it what am I supposed to do next.

If I run adb.exe it starts to load something and then nothing. The Nook is connected, it has Noogie as it's CWR.

After running adb.exe what do I do? Do I go to the nook directory or something? The thing is that I don't even know if I'm running ADB correctly. I followed everything on the wiki
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Um, Clockwork Recovery and Noogie are two separate and unrelated things.

C:\>adb usb
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *

At that point it will either say that it found a USB device or that it didn't.

If it's connected, you can type "adb shell".

On Windows, when you click on the USB icon on the taskbar it will list what is connected.

Normally with CWR you should see two lines, USB Mass Storage and ADB.

Does anyone know how to get an open NAT or get upnp with Android WIFI Tether or any other tethering??

I am using my Galaxy S3 to play on XBOX LIVE and it really sucks not having open NAT. Tons of problems. Can't play with friends, party's don't work, etc. This is now my primary internet and I get like 70-90MS even... but without this working I'm sort of out of luck =(

If anyone can help point me in the right direction, or anything I would GREATLY appreciate it. Thanks!

RE:

I don't think you can open or close NAT on your phone.

I've had this problem with my router and I fixed it with port forwarding, but I don't believe you can forward ports on your phone.

As far as UPnP goes I don't think you can enable that as well.

Your best bet (probably) would be to plug a router into your phone somehow and then enabled UPnP and port forwarding on it through router settings.

Either through wireless tethering, or connect laptop to phone via wireless or usb cable, then run a crossover cable to x box and use Windows connection sharing. Once upon a time I actually got this to give me open nat, but it was several months ago and I can't figure it out

Was reminiscing my HD7 days again...

When I had my HD7, most of the apps were, I will be honest, paid. Now before you pull the trigger on me, let me explain something.

A. I am not against paying for an app.

B. But is it necessary that a good app SHOULD b paid? (WhatsApp, Flipboard)

C. Many people do consider this as a deal-breaker before buying a phone. (My boss is one of them, to an extent I'm too.)

D. By good app, I don't mean mind-blowing 3D games. But basic apps like the ones mentioned above.

Shouldn't MS, being MS make deals with other brands and give the buyer some relief?

Opinions, view points, perspectives now welcome. :Z

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StevieBallz:
Apps are created to make money - or at least most of them are.

That being said there are different ways an App can make money:

1.) It connects to a service and by it's existence promotes that service or makes it easier to use that service. In those cases the service behind the App pays for the App. (Twitter, Facebook, etc. are prime examples)

2.) Advertisments - this is the route most free Apps to my knowledge take on the Play Store. Pretty obvious how this works but I actually would rather pay 99 Cent instead of having an advertisment in my face all the time.

3.) In App Purchases - those will come with WP8 but in my experience are most often used in a way that you get a basic App with severly limited functionality which is then made functional through those expensive purchases. I personally prefer to have a price upfront so I can decide if the App is worth it.

All in all and working in software development myself I believe that good apps should be payed and I do believe that they actually should cost more than they do today. People whining over a price tag of 99 Cents for something they are going to use every day. Buy a coke at McDonalds and you pay pretty much the same for it without much whining that it should be free. Most developers don't make much money on Apps (WP or otherwise) with prices being what they are. This is by the way one of the reasons why many developers go iOS first - iPhone users are far more likely to pay for an App than Android users (looking at the statistics).

Prices being what they are Microsoft and Nokia in certain regions added a gift card to phone purchases worth 20$/€. This might be an interesting strategy for the future as well.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lamplighter13:
No, the phone itself was probably expensive enough.

The monthly bill is probably more than you are getting out of it.

Where does it stop ?

Television was once free in many places, now I believe everybody pays for it.

If you want "premiuim" channels you pay more again.

We pay for internet connections.

If the developer of an application wants to charge for it so be it, if he wants it to be free so be it.

Freedom of choice.

LL13-
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StevieBallz:
When TV is free it is paid for by the country that operates it. Somewhere someone has to pay for it. If it is payed through taxes you also pay for it although you might not notice. Pay-TV-channels are new - which means: they would not exist were they not payed. It is the same for many of those Apps. If Microsoft were to intervene to get certain Apps for free on the platform they would have to regain that cost somewhere which perhaps would drive up the per-unit-pricing of the phones.

I'm not trying to force people to make their App payed, of course it's the developers choice. But all this whining about 99 Cents for a good App you use frequently just has to stop. Effort goes into making those Apps, people spend time implementing and polishing them. They should receive something for that.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skander1998:
Soo, here i am thinking about the newest (and first) WP8 phone ever announced, the Samsung (insert weird name here).

Now on android i am having 90~ apps that i use daily.. now i am pretty sure i'll find them once the OS get's released but if everything will be paid that's a dealbreaker for me.. i don't want to pay too much for a phone and (0.99$ per app) 90~ $ more.

So nope, for me they should be free, actually app developers should decide.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HumanXv2:
Most of the apps on my last 3 wp7s were paid and most of them were awful. I do not mind paying for apps at all.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DavidinCT:
If your in the US, TV is free if you can live with the programming you will get. FCC mandates that all HDTV channels (non premium channels)are broadcasted over the air.

Depending on where you live you can get some but, you might only get a few (I get 4 and not the major networks but, it is free)

Not everyone pays for it...but, most people pay because they want more than 5-7 channels.

As for the topic on hand. I think there should be free apps, some apps I will never use if I can't try them.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lumpaywk:
It amazes me how cheap some people are! Devs work there nuts off to bring you apps and you don't think they should get paid for that hard work?

MS will NEVER demand that all apps be paid apps that's crazy1 They limit the daily submissions to stop crapware like soundboards that plague the play store. Its a choice the dev makes and most offer you the choice with free versions supported by adds or paid versions (supertube for instance). The WP market place even has a section for free apps and games etc and some rock (archery for one).

All in all i think MS has done a great job keeping app standards high. They could of gone the Android route and let anything pass just to get the numbers up but they didnt! Also not MS offer trials when android and ios normally have lite versions though i see more slipping into the market.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] xamindar:
Has anyone been able to find a way to get ad hoc networks working on the A510? I tried a different wpa_supplicant file I found which was the same version (0.8.0 I think) but it did not work. Do we need to build our own for this tab?

Thanks for any help.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] pawitp:
I haven't checked, but recent devices using bcmdhd don't have in-kernel ad-hoc support at all and will need more patches than just wpa_supplicant.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] xamindar:
I don't understand why they would do that. Hasn't ad hoc been part of the wifi spec from the beginning? They would have had to remove it for some reason. I saw a Google site that has people asking for support for the last 5 years. Oh well, hopefully the dev community really picks up for this tablet. I really like the a510 a lot more than the tf300. It's strange that the tf300 is so much more popular.

with a file explorer you can go check contents of sdcard.

Copy the folder with game info to external, copy back, then when reinstalling pray that copying back the progress is viewable in game.

Never tried it, but theoretically it could work. Rooting would be safest bet.

Team Win Recovery Project 2.2, or twrp2 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. It’s a fully touch driven user interface – no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.

Phone look:

Tablet look:

CHANGELOG (for 2.2.2.0 compared to 2.2.0.0):

Mostly bugfixes:

Significantly improved sd-ext handling (ext partitions on sdcards)

Changes to kinetic scrolling in file selectors

Fixed a problem with using periods in backup names

Fixed problems in XML layouts with mounting system and USB storage

Fixed a problem with unmounting a partition before formatting during restore

Add Jelly Bean decrypt support

Updated 320x480 theme to match others (thanks to Llewelyn)

Improve "symlinking" of /data/media to either /sdcard or /emmc

Added sanitizing of device IDs for invalid characters (thanks to bigbiff)

Fixed free space calculation when switching backup devices on /data/media devices

Fixed a problem with using OpenRecoveryScript to create a backup without providing a backup name

DOWNLOAD:

The fastest and easiest way to install TWRP is to use the GooManager app:

Play Store Link

Direct Download

1) Install GooManager from the Play Store

2) Open GooManager and provide root permissions

3) Hit Menu (or the button with the 3 dots on your screen) and then Install OpenRecovery

OR:

You can find more information and download links on our website!

NOTE: If you're coming from another build of TWRP, you may need to go into settings and tap reset defaults to reset the storage paths so that you can see your zip files.

BUGS:

If you have found a bug, please consider posting it to our github issues log. It's pretty much impossible for us to keep up with the more than 30 threads that we have for the devices that we "directly" support. If you have a significant problem that cannot be answered in this thread, your best bet is to PM me directly, contact us via our website, or find us in our IRC channel below.

Does TWRP require any particular hboot version, or will it function with any of them? I know you need to be on Android 2.3 in order to install TWRP, but I'm wondering... does it also mean that if you flash back to a stock ROM that TWRP won't work properly?

EDIT: My question was obviously stated with some knowledge missing. Recovery is obviously not dependent upon the ROM, as the ROM is loaded after the recovery program is done! But... I'm curious to know, if I made a nandroid backup with TWRP 2.2.2.0, will TWRP2 be able to restore it?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cytherian:
* DELETE *
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DizturbedOne:
There has been a small oversight with the GooManager route of distribution and the original post for this particular phone. You must have a PC or have a phone that can flash .zips or has a 2.3 or up ROM installed so it can run GooManager, even though this phones last OTA was Android 2.1, so it probably should have a .zip posted instead.

For example, I have a stock but rooted HTC Hero from Sprint as my backup with the latest OTA. So I can't use this method of install for this recovery without flashing a different recovery first, and then either flashing it as a .zip or upgrading my ROM to a 2.2 or 2.3 based ROM. In reality, I think most will just stick with whatever recovery must be flashed first in this situation as I will, even though I wanted TWRP. That said I think most of the users that use this will just want a .zip.

But there is no .zip posted for the guys that can flash it. This also makes it an overly cumbersome option if the handset is in stock state. As I said, I probably won't bother re-flashing, I kind of like sticking to one recovery on a phone and prefer to do minimal NAND writes.
