[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crossjaw:
I just went throught the same thing

I just unlocked my phone and flashed the latest CWM recovery and then the latest SuperSU zip; and all was fine. But whenever I was exiting from CWM recovery, it said "Possible root access loss" and if it can "fix it". Whenever I say "Yes" I lose root access; and when I select "No" the root privileges stayed. I could have lived with that but I thought screw this **** and flashed the TWRP recovery. This one doesn't say anything about losing access; all's cool.

But I still want to know what CWM was trying to do. It was trying to "fix" /system/bin/su and losing root access. Anybody?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
cwm is most likely installing a su that isnt up to date
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crossjaw:
Oh... I've never had problems with CWM before( this wasn't actually a problem anyway). Thanks
[Sprint LG Optimus G] tritron777:
Is there zip or apk of diagnostic tools for sprint that works with custom firmware. I tried zip and flashed it but it crashes evrytimne I try to update prl.

If i need original firmaware is there is a link to rooted orginal firmawre ?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] AFschizoid:
ok, what exactly is going on? what rom are you on? what rom did you try flashing to? what exactly is happening when you try updating? need some specifics before people will help.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] tritron777:
Well so fair I used lifless, gennex rom and now I am on revolt. All roms sprint diagnostics crashes
[Sprint LG Optimus G] AFschizoid:
So is just not updating prl? Did you restore efs already with either freegee or twrp already? If using twrp just deselect everything in the nandroid besides efs and restore
[Sprint LG Optimus G] williamjr27:
Worst case use lgnpst to flash back to stock zvb.bin and update everything (not sure if a zvc is available yet) then re-root with fiddy, unlock with free gee and flash whatever you'd like. That's how I updated to zvc, fixed GPS, updated profile+prl. Not Too familiar with sprint diagnostics but this method could help with any updates.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] shabbypenguin:
sprint diagnostics as in the app made for the gnexus by bigrushdog? that would only work on a nexus device?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Morningstar:
The Sprint Diagnostics app will only work properly on the device it was made for. One or two things might work, but most (such as PRL update) will just FC the app. If you're just looking to update your PRL without having to flash back to stock, you can use DFS CDMA Tool (from a PC)...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Txholdem87:
Hey,

I am looking for a solution for streaming my music from my pc to my S4. My criteria is that I have to be able to access it from anywhere i.e. not on the same wifi network, I need it to be secure, and I would prefer not to have to upload all of my music to a cloud. I also want to be able to directly stream from the server. Does anyone know of a good solution for this? I would be willing to pay a reasonable price if it has all that I need but of course free is better ;). Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soraxd:
well.. I question if you know what that entails. to directly stream music you have on your computer to your phone, would require your computer to be constantly on and it constantly be connected to the Internet at all times, always having a server running in the background. which; in the end is essentially what Google music does for you. the difference being instead of YOU constantly using up all of your own computers resources and network to keep your server running at all times, Google uses ITS (much more powerful, stable, reliable, and polished) servers to keep up that 24/7/365 readily available monster fast connection to fulfil that service for you, letting your internet be freed up, and your computer do something OTHER host a music server 24/7 never shutting your computer down..

you know you can set Google music to just run quietly in the background never doing anything unless you drop music off in your normal Windows 'Music' folder, right? then it syncs it real quick in the background without you ever knowing it happened.

still, if you want to do it yourself, VLC has plug-ins to do so, just make sure VLC never shuts down, and your computer never turns off or sleeps, you may want to upgrade your internet cause upload speeds on most home networks are small, and you probably won't be able to do much else on it, consider 2 home networks, and possibly another computer to actually USE, that hasn't dedicated it's life to being a Google Music replacement, then you can use one of the VLC remote apps from the market to strem your music.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Txholdem87:
Well, my computer is already almost always on and connected to the internet, so that isn't an issue. As far as Google Music that is specifically what I don't want to do (upload all of my music to a remote server) I'll check out VLC's plugins since I already have VLC player and see if that's what I'm looking for. Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Txholdem87:
I found a program called Tonido that let's me do what I need
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Vaykadji:
I can upload an ext4 ubuntu.img (described in step 2), but only if it really is necessary. The image is 4.0 Gigabyte and it will take me a long time to upload this... (My upload internet speed is 40Ko/s so it will take 30 hours to upload, and I'll be glad not to^^)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Muikkuman:
Awesome guide thank you.

Sent from my HTC Desire HD
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] bogii4:
Could some one post the image prefered-large one because i do not have ubuntu and it seems complicated for a 'noob like me :(
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Vaykadji:
This will not work "as it" with the large image, because you are adding the command startlxde to Ubuntu, which will start LXDE, not Unity.

Do not forget that small image uses LXDE, when large image uses Unity. I don't know which command you should use to start Unity in the xstartup script for VNC.

But, if you want some programs that are inclueded in large-image, you can always use "apt-get install nameofthepackageyouwant" in the terminal-emulator while using Ubuntu. This command will download and install the program. But if you want Unity, I can't help you, maybe some else know...

And, by the way. You don't have Ubuntu on your PC but you want to use it on Android ? That's odd^^
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] DsturbD:
can you verify this works on Flo? it's not clear that you have this on your Nexus

reading the working devices list on linuxonandroid.org, it says "It does not work when going to the mount step since there is a bug in 4.3. It should run perfectly after that is fixed."

have a link or two where someone has successfully installed this on their Nexus 7 (Flo)? or do you have screenshots of it on yours?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Vaykadji:
It works on flo, I posted here in "Neuxs 7 (2013) > Nexus 7 (2013) General" and the title of this thread is "on N7 2013".

I also explained in the introduction that this is a way to bypass the bug with 'mount loop'.

I also said in the "informations" box that it works with 'flo'

I also gave the credits to users from LinuxOnAndroid forum, who made this possible. There you'll find some testimony of people who were able to run it. You can also check RobbH's post on LinuxOnAndroid thread, here, on XDA.

Sorry, but I think that it's pretty clear haha :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] DsturbD:
sure, ok, seems odd though that you edited your OP after you tell me the info i was looking for was already in the OP

whatever, thanks anyway
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Vaykadji:
I added this to OP :

Example :
mkdir /home/yourname/loa

I'm trying to help you and others here, I'm not here to be insulted and called a liar. Thank you.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] bogii4:
anyway (workaround) we can boot the 'large image as in Unity the full desktop experience? or do we have to wait for an actual fix ?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] devwithzachary:
Just thought I would pop in and say hi.

Thanks to [MENTION=5076651]Vaykadji[/MENTION] and everyone else in LoA land that helped get everything running on 4.3 we are finally sorting the bugs.

A beta version of the app featuring the edits needed in the boot script has been pushed to our beta test group and new ext4 images are being cooked as we speak.

Should not be much longer now and LinuxonAndroid will fully support 4.3
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Vaykadji:
as I said : the part in the guide where you add "startlxde" to the xstartup script is only for LXDE (so: small image of Ubuntu only). But if you find the same command for Unity, you will maybe be able to boot with Unity.

Note: Unity and LXDE are both "desktop environment", but different ones. Google it if you don't understand, I can't explain this with my poor English :/
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] sdwshlsdx:
I used this method,but in ubuntu 12.04,it's only X cursor and gray desktop.

in ubuntu 13.04,solved this problem. so we best use ubuntu 13.04.

now I have a problem:in ubuntu,I installed openjdk and run java application .if java application not close and run background.then I press power button to close screen,battery drain very quickly.I saw "android os " always awake.one hour maybe drain 5% battery.

if close the java application battery drain normal.and "android os " no longe awake.

this problem only found in nexus 7 (flo), I have run java application in other android device(like nexus 7 2012,htc evo 4g lte,htc incredible) all of them didn't appear this problem.

some people can test this problem?

and how can I resolved it?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Vaykadji:
The X cursor and gray desktop appears when you don't add "startlxde" to you xstartup script. I'll try with 13.04 if I have the time, I couldn't tell right know.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Vaykadji:
Works well on Ubuntu 13.04 small image (but in 13.04, you don't have to do the "echo startlxde | tee /blablabla" command)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] bogii4:
a little off topic but.. i was able to boot Windows XP using Bosch it took 10-15mins to fully boot but it is not usable i expected more mouse seems smooth but clicking - the start menu, open something takes forever :/ worth it?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] DsturbD:
you're right, did not mean to insinuate anything or insult you, that was not my intent. please accept my apologies
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Vaykadji:
Thank you ! We're good.

Now, since this guide will soon no longer be usefull (with LoA being updated), I'm willing to do some researchs on how to improve Linux ARM experience. Because I noticed that they were plenty of cool things that were not ported (or not officially though).

Some repo's are broken for example. Official repo's (I was planning to install LightSpark, a flash-player fork, but no can do). Maybe this will be more usefull for LinuxOnAndroid user's.

And Touch should be released soon for Nexus products (not including flo, but hopefully it'll come quick).
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] jova33:
So, with this, it's not touch screen?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] LSWaard:
It most certainly is. Although it's the desktopversion, which isn't touch-optimized :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Vaykadji:
You use your screen as a "touchpad" to control the mouse's cursor. And your Android virtual keyboard to write ;) but, it's the desktop version so it isn't optimized for touch.

In fact, except the "2 fingers to zoom", I haven't seen other working "touch friendly" options.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] jova33:
So I could run eclipse ide on this? I have a mini Bluetooth keyboard coming in the mail tomorrow, I'd be able to connect that as well I take it?

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] pham818:
Just some quick questions, will I be able to still use bluetooth for mouse and keyboard? I want this to be a mini computer.

and will i be able to run python 3? i want to use my nexus 7 to code.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] LSWaard:
Got it working!

Please follow these steps:

- Get this zip-file: http://sourceforge.net/projects/lin...Small/ubuntu-13.10.SMALL.ext4.v1.zip/download

- Unpack and rename these files to 'ubuntu.img' and 'ubuntu.img.md5'

- Move your ubuntu.img and ubuntu.img.md5 to /storage/emulated/0/ubuntu/

- Edit /data/data/com.zpwebsites.linuxonandroid/files/bootscript.sh

- Find the line that says: '$bbox mount -t ext2 /dev/block/loop255 $mnt'

change the value 'ext2' to 'ext4'

- Save this .sh-file

- Now, in the Complete Linux Installer App, go to 'Launch'.

- Edit the entry with the location to the .img-file, which is going to be: /storage/emulated/0/ubuntu/ubuntu.img

- You are now able to 'Launch'

* It seems I have to 'type' exit in the terminal to get this script going...

** Make sure to watch the command-line to change the user-credentials

*** Please hit 'Thanks' if I helped

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] LSWaard:
Please check your bootscript.sh, chances are you didnt save your changes.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] giorss:
ok it works, but why I can't find firefox or any browsers?

and app installed seem really few ones :(
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] LSWaard:
You have to use the terminal (command-line) to install additional apps.

See this reference for detailed info about using apt-get: http://www.ccl.net/cca/software/UNIX/updating-redhat/apt-howto/how-to-use-apt-get.html
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] k3v0:
All the ext4 images should now work with the Nexus 7 and Android 4.3 without additional configuration; except Arch Linux which requires a slightly modified bootscript (included at the link).

Check them out here:

I got a little ahead of the App development so not all images are linked through the App yet.:beer:

with this guide you need an .img file.

i want to run bodhi linux. but i only have the iso.

is it possible to install bodhi with comlete linux installer?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] k3v0:
It is, but you need to build an image file for Bodhi. You cannot install from the iso directly.

I was going to build an image file, but stopped because Bodhi recently dropped support for ARM devices.

http://www.bodhilinux.com/about_news.php

It should be fairly straightforward as Bodhi is an Ubuntu-based distro. I will look further into creating a Bodhi image this weekend. This image will be unofficial and won't receive updates.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] BPM:
Thx a lot
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] k3v0:
I've tested the following Linux distro images on the Nexus 7 running Kit Kat:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxonandroid/files/?source=navbar

Running without issue:

Arch Linux

Running requiring a password or selinux set to permissive:

Ubuntu ( the superuser password is ubuntu by default)

Debian Testing ( the superuser password is debian by default)

Running with selinux in permissive only:

Kali Linux

Fedora

Set selinux to permissive by running in Android Terminal as root

setenforce 0

This change is not permanent as a reboot will set selinux to enforcing as will passing 1 using the above command.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] k3v0:
Those images at the link are official Complete Linux Installer images and have been updated to work out-of-the-box with Android 4.3. The changes in my post are all that is required for Android 4.4.

Edit: Linux-on-Andoird, Android Terminal, Jump Desktop and the Complete Linux Installer work just fine using Android Runtime (ART) in developer options, for those looking for a modest performance boost.

I managed to get Bodhi and Enlightenment working. You can download it here:

it possible to use this "as is" and skip step 2 from the op?

i do not have a linux box atm. (broke my notebook and only have a windows box at work)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] k3v0:
Just as well. I am unhappy with this release as there are some bugs with E17 that make it unusable. If you want to run E17 I've found that Arch Linux has a stable functional release in the official repositories.

I'll keep working on improving the Bodhi image, so when you do make sure to grab the most recent upload.

Update: I uploaded an Arch Linux image with E17: https://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxonandroid/files/ArchLinux/Small-E17/

is there a way to start an installed linux with one klick (start linuxOnAndroid => start "specified linux" => connect via vnc => autologin)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] k3v0:
Yes, add the Complete Linux Installer widget.

Edit: well 2 clicks. If your VNC client has a widget or shortcut. Jump Desktop has this functionality.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] BPM:
THX.

It would be very cool to get it running automaticly on boot (this way i can fake linux in multirom)

view questions:

-bt keybord is working, mouse does not work?

-is there any pakage manager?

-is it possible toget the windowmanager run native (so that we do not need vnc)

installed bodhi:

-same problem with mouse

- some dbus error on startup (popup message on te gui)

if i start arch, exit it via exit on terminal and want to start bodhi i get authentication error. after reboot android it works.

seems the vnc server did not shutdown correctly?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Bogdacutu:
There is an opensource driver for Adreno already (used it myself, but couldn't get everything to work properly), and potentially libhybris too.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] k3v0:
You still need to exit from the command line after logging out from E17.

Does your mouse work in Android? If so, it is support from your VNC client. Arch doesn't need to support bluetooth as Android handles everything. We are running in a chroot jail and not natively.

Try the version of Bodhi I just uploaded shouldn't have the dbus error.

Bodhi fixes for Android 4.4

DBus

For dbus to work in Bodhi you need to switch selinux to permissive. From android terminal before launching the image run

su
setenforce 0

Then launch the image

Synaptic

-In android terminal after launching the image run

apt-get install gksu

-within E17 launch "run everything" and navigate to system>synaptic

-edit the shortcut to: gksudo synaptic

Should be good to go.

one more question:

if i reset the data on my tab i only have to save the folder with the bodhi/arch.. image copy it to the tab again and can boot the same status as before? all applications and settings are stored in the img?
