[Android] Steve Eligoyo:
these instructions are amazing ....

Thanks for this tutorial! I've searched everywhere for something like this and came up with zilch. Linux on android arm v.6 is a very big deal.

Am I required to use my laptop for this??
[Android] S0AndS0:
[A] the directions stated to plug your sd card into a pc for the extraction process. I personally would suggest it too; after much in the way of errors from trials I've found that extracting tar's and such on the device is possible and works but for larger files it's just easier to do it with a PC than risk errors.

Related to Linux on ARM v.6: I've tested many methods and found that setting a partition (for a 16gb car I made a 9gb partition for Linux) instead of a image file of some sort gave me far more "play time" between installs, 2 to 5 gigs is great for testing/proof of concept work but usually fills up quickly if used daily.

Hope ya don't mind the mangleling of the quotes; figured and answer should go above any comments I may have ;)

linux ssh command not found

hi ,i have lenovo p770, i done 1 and 2 stape but on 3 stape error linux: command not found
[Android] S0AndS0:
Likely the script didn't have permissions to write a "short-cut" to the "linux" command.

I have run into this error on some of my rooted devices. And here is how to get around it.

In the terminal window (before typing "su") you should see something like ~

export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH

At the top

~~ note in the settings for the terminal window emulator you can set custom lines like this in the settings

So the part that you'll want want to change is the "/data/local/bin" and change it to the file path to where the "linux" command really is

export PATH=/sdcard/linux:$PATH

~~ Note: if you've extracted it somewhere else then change the example to match, furthermore, if your sdcard is called SDcard or is under the "/mnt" directory then further edits may be required to get the above example to work on your device.

Now I mentioned that you can have this set to run for you.

In connect bot...

1 Press and hold on the connection you've set up

2 tap 'Edit host'

3 tap 'Post-login automation'

4 input the command and tap 'ok'

Now whenever you start that window that command will run to set the short cut so that when you type "linux" the terminal window knows where to find that command.

Hope it helps. Oh and you can put multiple commands in the post login window and have a very automated boot experience :D

HI,

I wanted to download the suitable OS, but the link doesn't work.

Is it no mre valid?

Where can I download it?
[Android] S0AndS0:
I tried too and checked the base web name :

http://ohm.nerd65536.com/

~and it looks like it's down for maintenance or perhaps down for good?

Either way LilDebi and Debian Kit still work fine and Debian Kit can be uninstalled (the app) without effecting the Linux OS so you've still got options.
[Android] irgendwer99:
thank you for your message!

I choosed an other way: Debian kit

It works on my TF700, but only with loop disk!!! I tried all the possible different combinations with sd card, but the only solution for my pad is Debian with 2048 MB loopdisk. Furthermore with the lxde doesn't work the iceweasel for me...
[Android] S0AndS0:
I found using a PC to partition the SD card works great, I've got 5+gigs set up for Debian Kit that way. Links to my guide on the subject and script pack for any Linux on Android have been added to my sig. Let me know if you need more help :)

added : 04302014

Edit; just to be clear, you really should only partition an external SD card. Messing with your device's internal partition table (unless your into bricks) is generally frowned upon.

and if it's an external sdcard then running the mkdebian script, after exiting the installer (when it asks if you want to set up a loop disk file) should do the trick, just be really sure where you point that script...

However, in this ROM only the default (stock) mail app is missing (Mail.apk).

I have already found a lot on the internet and there are some that work, however, are all English.

My questions:

1. Does anyone know where I can get Mail.apk Dutch (and that works) or how to translate a English one to dutch?

2. Does anyone knows or this ROM working on stock speed or overclocked (I hate overclocking)?

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] BlueBliss:
Curious to see if anyone else has this same problem. I've looked around but can't find anyone that can replicate it.

Phone is running 4.0.4 with ATT's 2.20.502.7 710RD. Ever since I bought the phone, 4G connectivity has repeatedly been interrupted; all bars drop, service is gone, and it doesn't return for at least 30 seconds, if not a few minutes. I've been running the phone on a non-LTE sim card, so I assumed something in the network was causing a bug.

Behold, LTE. I got the LTE sim card, installed it, but still noticed the same pattern. If you look at the photo I've attached, it seems like the 4G connection gets disconnected every 15 minutes or so (red bars under "Mobile network signal"). It literally looks like there is a perfectly measured interval of time between the 4G disconnects. BUT, interesting thing you can see is that, during the time my HOX was connected to LTE, there wasn't a single hiccup. The entire green sector in the middle of the same line, "Mobile network signal," is from LTE. The left and right sides of the line, though, mark the 4G service area (my home), plagued with red marks of disappearing service.

AT&T says it has nothing to do with them; for once, I believe them. Does anyone have any advice or observations? The phone doesn't have insurance on it, so I may send it back to HTC and *hopefully* have them figure it out.

Cheers.

Honesty so few people know or care about updates have like 3 friends with droids that didn't know their sensations had upgrades waiting. So obviously we are the vast minority. Also who on xda doesn't have an unlocked bootloader. I'm sure we'll have fruitcakes soon after the us launch
[Atrix 4G General] CSharpHeaven:
About three months ago I purchased Samsung Galaxy Note for its screen size mainly. Getting to that age it hurts looking at small screen for a long period of time. Unfortunately, I have been left without my Samsung Galaxy Note for a month because of the mess and very poor service I have received from my network provider. On the happy note, I'm collecting a brand new one today. So I have been using my Atrix heavily again in the past month.

I have now owned my Atrix for over a year now and I can say I have never been happy with the software side of Atrix. When I started using Samsung Note I even more realised how badly Atrix's ROM was cooked. I own the international version of Atrix and Motorola never released any updates after the GB firmware upgrade in the UK. I'm extremely furious I had to put up with Motorola's shortcomings and ignorance towards its international users.

I cannot simply throw away my Atrix as I still need the phone as Samsung Galaxy Note is too big to carry in my pocket. I rather carry Atrix in my pocket than Note but I prefer using Note for everything else and Note is a pleasure to use for both reading and writing. I love it.

I have never unlocked the bootloader for the warranty reason first and then I don't believe custom ROMs are that better when it comes to the reliability. What deeply bothers me is that Motorola will not allow I unlock the bootloader legally/officially even after my two year european warranty is over. Take my word for it I would unlock the BL after the warranty is over should I need to and wouldn't give a monkey to Google/Motorola about it.

Atrix would still be a good backup phone even for the entire 2013 so I am wishing Motorola would finally do the right/honorable thing by releasing a solid ROM, be it ICS or JB. There is a significant difference between GB and ICS when it comes to user-experience and that is why Atrix will shine with it.

As it stands, I would never give my money to the Motorola again even if they had the best phones on the market. Making promises to the new customers when you have not shown loyalty to your old customers only shows your business hasn't been changed. I would have believed Motorola when they gave international users a solid quarter release date for older devices when on stage trying to sell new handsets. What Motorola did to international Atrix users and other devices is not something I would forget that easily. I will always be there to tell my experience about you, Motorola.

Google owns Motorola but they are not getting any special treatment. They have to wait lie any other manufacturer.

"Woodside says Motorola is not getting favorable treatment from Google though it's now part of the Google family. "Motorola is treated the way every other (manufacturer) is treated," he said during an interview. The company receives the Android software code the same day that rival handset makers get it. And Google doesn't get any special exposure to Motorola engineers."

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jon565G:
Since you have flashed a custom recovery, you'll have to flash back the original recovery in order to do a ota.

It doesn't matter if your rooted or if you have a unlocked boot loader.

BTW, You will loose root if you don't use ota keeper from the market.

Sent from my Xperia Arc
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krelvinaz:
First question is why would you care? Its not like there are OTA's happening all the time. there has been basically one OTA since the device first came out and most people got it as soon as they started to use their device.

Second, if you have a custom recovery, that will stop it from working.

IF you put the recovery back, the question of if you will lose Root or not really depends on the OTA type. Most OTA's are incremental, meaning they only contain the changes of the system, not the whole system. If it is an incremental, unless there is something in the OTA that seeks out and removes root, it most likely will not affect it. However, if you have made any real changes to the system (removed system programs) the OTA may fail to run as it assumes everything in a normal system is there.

IF the OTA is a full system update like what the Kindle Fire was doing for a long time, it will flush the complete system area and load a new one, that effectively removes root since when it is done, it is no longer physically there. OTA Root keeper won't help you in those cases since the entire system area get wiped. Getting root back is trivial though as hard as it was originally.

I'd tend to think that the OTA's will be incremental... and I see little need or desire by Google to be hunting down root since it is a Nexus device and it is designed to allow for that. Its not like it is a phone like device where the Wireless operator is having a cow as to whether or not you gained access... its supposed to have that kind of access.

However, it really doesn't matter. When the next OTA comes out, there will be a number of devs which will take it apart and release an update you can use with the recovery you currently have and root and will keep root just fine. these typically get released within hours that someone notices a new OTA in the wild and sometimes you can get it before you actually even have a chance to get the real OTA over the wire.

So not a real big deal. I'd just stay where you are and when one comes out watch to see what gets released to mimic it.

Note changing the state of the bootloader will wipe your device. Unlocking will wipe it and locking it will wipe it. You are best off, unlocking it and just leaving it that way.
