linuxmint setup

i currently installed linux mint as virtual machine is too slow for my laptop!

i followed the intructions by sa1tine but have still to get it working fully. i got upto this point and it i got that problem.

i would like the same setup as you have done with the iso but on my linux so i dont have to use virtual machine,

can you help?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] RagingHarry:
Think he missed this step, if i remember it right, missing that would give the error about not having the repo.

mkdir ~/.bin && curl http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/.bin/repo && chmod a+x ~/.bin/repo

Used that same post to make a working Mint 15 other then Mate install, and works ok, only used my own folder naming, don like that much being hidden files starting with the dot.

still not working

still doesn't work for me.

that command was in the instructions already!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
1. check if "repo" exists in the "bin" folder inside your home directory.

2. check if its allowed to execute

3. re open the terminal window

4. type repo

when it still says unrecognized .. then you have done something wrong.

you can also place it in /bin or /usr/bin but you need sudo for that
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sa1tine:
add:

PATH=/home/YOURUSERNAME/.bin:$PATH

to your .bashrc

if you don't know whether you have it or not, go into your home folder and press ctrl + h and look for it.

to make it, go into terminal and type:

gedit ~/.bashrc

that will solve your problem. also, i went and looked. that mingw45 should be mingw32. i fixed it in the tut. sorry mate!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] adry1988:

the folder .bin is there and has repo file inside.

i sorted out mingw45 problem already but the problem now is only the last part.

PATH=/home/YOURUSERNAME/.bin:$PATH is already in the .bashrc file but no luck.

i followed your instructions carefully but something has obviously gone wrong
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sa1tine:
you need to change YOURUSERNAME to what your username is. e.g. i use saltnafen for my user name so i would use

PATH=/home/saltnafen/.bin:$PATH
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] adry1988:

i changed it to my user when doing the tuturial.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sa1tine:
then in terminal you typed in:

source ~/.bashrc

?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] adry1988:
sorry

i'm sure i did but i cant remember now.

the repo is downloading now, i changed my user in bash again and got rid of the capital letter and seem to be working now.

i let you know if i have any other problems

Good work bro!

You could try uploading the whole ISO to Mega. ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
I will, but my site as mirror is also good, anyways, I thinking of removing the VM very soon since it takes more then 50% of my webspace. :silly:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] adry1988:
So what would I type in terminal? Where did the source download?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
You downloaded a rom source right??

if so in what dir? go to that dir and enter the commands
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sa1tine:
a friend just gave me access to unlimited space on a server, i could put it up there if you want.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
Oh thats a really nice offer, to bad I just removed them from my server XD!! Anyways still have it on my computer but need to reupload, or you must have it but I guess not.

Anyways, I prefer to distribute the iso, its much smaller then the VM. I upload it to mega.co.nz and sourceforge ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sa1tine:
right on, well, if you ever want another location for the iso i would be more than happy to host it :D

Hi broodplank1337,

In first thanks for the great job.

i have download your iso, but when i try to start it from a vmware virtual machine got a bad kernel image message.

Any suggestion?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
You probably have enabled EFI then. check for it.

Just a little information...

In the installation process (setup on root,setup on home directory, upgrade), during setup on my home, i've ask for something regarding configuration file, and i leave the default option (N).

After it, i havent found upgrade link on desktop, but i've found it on my home folder.

At the end of upgrade, i havent found any link on my desktop .(the link in the right side of the screenshot in first post)

Is normal? i must create it manually?Or something was wrong?

I've launch Eclipse and make a little test app, compiled correctly and test on emulator, all works fine.

Thanks again.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kantjer:
I hope someone can help me with the following.

I'm trying to make a script to sync and build a ROM.

I tried the following, but the terminal is closed after the repo sync and the script stops.

#!/bin/sh
clear
echo " "
echo "---> Downloading Latest version of SlimKat to ~/SlimKat"
echo " "
busybox sleep 1
mkdir ~/SlimKat
cd ~/SlimKat
repo init -u git://github.com/SlimRoms/platform_manifest.git -b kk4.4-caf
repo sync -j3
. build/envsetup.sh
lunch slim_jfltexx-userdebug
make -j3 bacon

Is something like this even possible and if so tips would be very welcome :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
Hmm the script has no mistakes, it's 100% correct. anyways, please run the script from terminal and look up why it stops.

also I'm not sure whether 'make -j3 bacon' is the right way, it might be on slimkat but I think not tbh.

I think it's this:

brunch jfltexx

but I always prefer:

lunch slim_jfltexx-userdebug

make otapackage -j3
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kantjer:
Thanks for the tip to run the script from terminal, I will try that and see if that sheds some light on the unexpected terminal exit issue.

The "make bacon" command is working, I have used it a number of times and the resulting Rom's works fine.

I have this from XDA University:

EDIT:

When running the script in terminal I'm getting this error and the script stops.

This is strange if I execute the ". build/envsetup.sh" command directly in terminal everything it's fine.

EDIT 2:

Problem solved, found this here.

After disabling dash the script is now running without errors.

Yesterday i installed your devdistro iso and installed linux successfully. I followed your instructions above and run the setup scripts in root and home directory folowed by upgrade at the end.

Hi from what I know all the shortcuts are supposed to be there :good:

could someone help with this problem?

or do i need to use terminal commands?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
Yes in the ISO there are not as much shortcuts as on the VM, the reason is that when I made it I didn't know how to I think. Anyways, I will update the iso very soon with new kernel, everything updated, shortcut creation etc ;) it will be there pretty soon I think
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] adry1988:

make a shell script, place this in it:

sudo dpkg -i *.deb
sudo update-grub2
rm -Rf /tmp/update

and give it execute rights, (chmod +x filename or chmod 755 filename)

Is it still up? I'm not sharing it anymore since a long time lol. Anyways, no the torrent is the Virutal Machine that you can import.

The http link is a live cd though. but doesn't look like the end product as the VM does at this moment

First thanks for doing all this work :highfive: it massively helps linux noobs like me :o

I have upgraded my Ram (4gb) and hard drive in anticipation and now have a clean 250gb linux partition awaiting this updated ISO :fingers-crossed:

I would rather just do a clean install of the updated version rather than try update the older version so i think I will wait for your new ISO release if it's still going to happen that is?

Thanks in advance.

Guys, I am happy to announce that DevDistro 17 Mate x64 Debian is in development ^^, you might say, brood why debian over ubuntu based? let me show you the pros from LMDE page

Since i learned to properly resquash filesystems now this release will be perfect, no configuration needed, and everything up-to-date

Pros:

You don’t need to ever re-install the system. New versions of software and updates are continuously brought to you.

updates come in UpdatePacks (like servicepacks on windows)

It’s faster and more responsive than Ubuntu-based editions.

True thing!

While the cons of debian are the following:

Cons:

LMDE requires a deeper knowledge and experience with Linux, dpkg and APT.

Since all packages are already preinstalled there is not much knowledge required for dpkg and apt.

Debian is a less user-friendly/desktop-ready base than Ubuntu. Expect some rough edges.

And Debian is maybe less user-friendly/desktop ready than ubuntu but of course I will take care of that and make it extremely user friendly ;)

I will also make an Ubuntu based edition though, so users can choose :)

when will you have it ready?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:

I'm currently uploading one of the first test ISO's, I'd recommend installing it in VM only so far as it's not complete atm. but will serve it's purpose good so far. (regarding building, things like SDK, Eclipse, Android-Kitchen, repo are not setup yet)

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Webspider:
Re: I Cant Install Camera_2.5.cab

I just tried re-installing my camera to see if that file was in use on mine and it wasn't.

What I usually do if I get an installer giving me problems like this, is open the file browser and find the file in question and rename it to something else.

That way the installer can put its own version of that file into windows without a conflict.

So try renaming the file to mp4spvd.dll.bak for instance, then see if the cab will install.

You'll have to use a program other than 'file explorer' as dll fikes are usually hidden in there. Explore from ActiveSync can accomplish this!

Thanks for the help, Webspider, but no joy, even with renaming the dll file.
