[Nexus 7 (2013) General] k3v0:
This is how I create a larger image on my Nexus 7:

#Create a new larger image file using Android Terminal. You must have busybox installed from the play store

su

#navigate to the directory where you old imagefile is located

cd /sdcard/Bodhi

#create the new image file newbodhi.img or whatever you want to call it

#count=1572864 is 6 GiB (i.e.1024^3/4096*6)

dd if=/dev/zero of=newbodhi.img bs=4096 count=1572864

#Format as ext4, change to mkfs.ext2 for ext2

mkfs.ext4 newbodhi.img

#create the loop devices

mknod /dev/block/loop255 b 7 255

mknod /dev/block/loop256 b 7 256

#attach the images to the loop devices

losetup /dev/block/loop255 oldbodhi.img

losetup /dev/block/loop256 newbodhi.img

#make directories for the mount points

mkdir -p oldbodhi

mkdir -p newbodhi

#mount the old and new image files

mount -t ext4 /dev/block/loop255 oldbodhi/

mount -t ext4 /dev/block/loop256 newbodhi/

#cp files from the old image to the new

cp -Rp oldbodhi/* newbodhi/

#unmount and clean up

umount oldbodhi

umount newbodhi

losetup -d /dev/block/loop255

losetup -d /dev/block/loop256

rmdir oldbodhi

rmdir newbodhi

#don't forget to point the Complete Linux Installer shortcut to the new image

#delete the old image once you are sure everything works in the new image

Yes, all settings are saved in the img file.

bodhi is working really cool.

i would like to test arch a bit more. but i still have the problem with pakage manager:

tried pacman -S chromium (just to install a test) but get some error like:

/etc/mtab not found,

could not determinate filesystem mount point

also i like to install some gui for pacman but can not find any pakage like ocopti or something like that.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] k3v0:
Did you update your bootscript.sh?

I created one just for Arch as it needs to bind /dev. That bootscript will still work with other distros:

Download and replace

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] BPM:
I used the linuxbox of a friend. Forgot to ask this here: there is no applet for mkfs.ext4 in busybox
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] k3v0:
Oh right. I only have ext2, vfat, and exfat. For ext4 I had to chroot into the distro I was using.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] BPM:
why do we need the chroot? is it possible to install linux withou separating the filesystem and access all files within android and linux?

this is also very interessting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxats9ejrG0

added this one too: http://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=3921&sid=cb0e2eb0d1d3b9529fee0c65205e8288
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] devwithzachary:
Yes it is possible BUT there are alot of limitations and chroot in my eyes is still the best method to get stable linux running on top of Android, sure we are still working on getting around using VNC but still keeping support for cross devices.

We hope to increase the time we can work on the project to get chroot to the level it should be but without funding this has been hard.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] giorss:
I'm trying to use it to play an online game by java (as many people is tryng to play it on android)

I installed ubuntu 13.10 (small and large)

I installed also firefox, openjdk, icedtea

all seems to work well:

I open the site (fumbbl.com), I try to watch a match as spectator, it downloads the jnlp file, then it successfully downloads the java applet (ffb client)

then nothing happens

am I doing something wrong?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] BPM:
i bought the key for complete linux installer.

the base reason is to support the developers.

but i am not able to see any difference.

there is still promotion in the app and i can not see any additional features.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] BPM:
can you make a img of chakra linux (4-6GB)?

this would be really great. its my favorite distro.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] k3v0:
Does chakra have an arm version?

No. Its based on arch but there is No arm version

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] vevmesteren:
ho? Say what? I missed that. That is the problem?

Well that is dissapointing, where did you see that ?

EDIT: All is done!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] userdelroot:
It seems that some peeps are having issues, and it takes forever to download 1-4 gig images every time you wanna change or screw up your chroot enviroment.

I hope to help out this project by making scripts to allow the images to made right on the device.

Which will be a lot quicker then downloading.

It should create an image in approximately 5 minutes, depending on your device and internet speed, as it does need some internet

to download the minimal files for the image.

Hoping they can incorporate this into the project.

UPDATE:

I have the scripts correctly making the images on the device itself, it takes roughly 5 minutes.

No need to download gigs for the image files...

It downloads packages and installs. Approximately 200megs gets downloaded.

Yes it is possible, however unity is quite the resource hog. I do not use it on my laptop either. Just an FYI.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] DoggieChick:
Hi all,

I'm new to android (and run Mint 16 on my PC - beginner ability!). Have installed cyanogenmod rom using multiboot / TWRP. I have the latest Nexus 7 (2013) running android 4.4.2 kernel 3.4.0. What is the best way for me to install linux desktop while keeping multi-rom boot and my other roms (stock internal + cm11.2)? My goal is to use a standard desktop browser (i.e. firefox) while connected to the web via 3G. Is it possible?

Cheers.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] userdelroot:
Yes it is possible...

If you want a full working bootable Linux OS then try Ubuntu Touch

If you want a chroot type enviroment where you can run firefox and have a GUI that you can connect to via VNC

then go to

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=49806282#post49806282

That should install a fully working chroot for you using ubuntu.

Hi

While im waiting for my universal to arrive (need to wait for 7th of november :-() i have been rading though this forum.

I was just wondering, now that it seems like ringtones for contacts has been integrated into the contact software, is this a HTC implementation or is it a microsoft? would the the selection sync to outlook 2003 so i wont have to set it up everytime i hard reset?

Regards,

Allan Boegild Pedersen

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Carnivor:
ive not tried contact ringers, but i do use the contact pictures, which does sync with oulook 2003, i shall experiment with ringers shortly
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] herpi:
As far as I can see it does NOT sync the ringers with outlook. But maybe I am wrong.

After a hard reset I had to do them all manually.

If there is a solution for this I would be greatful.

Maybe the contacts database on the Jasjar can be backed up?

Huib
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] abp:
Just as i thought :-(

anyone knows if the ringetones support is integrated into wm5 or is it a htc add on?

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dreamtheater39:
integrated by microsoft into wm5....

San
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dreamtheater39:
you can store your ringtones on the root of your sd card....and can assign them to your contacts etc....thats a sly trick ;)

so, you can preserve space on your device root....

S
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] herpi:
And you think, after a hard reset, Outlook Mobile finds the ringtones where they were if they are on the storage card? Or better said: is the relation with the location synchronised/stored in the main outlook file?

When I search the Outlook fields on my PC I cannot find any field containing this information.

It is however a good advice to store them on your card because they take pretty much space.

I had the same problem on my Nokia 9500.

Huib
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] deank:
Ringtones on Storage Card

I used to put my rings (wma/mp3/wav) in the storage card. A problem I faced was that the Universal would sometimes need more than 5-10 seconds to wake-up/read the ring tone/play it/show the incoming-call-box.

I moved all the tones in my windows/rings folder and it is all okay now. I believe my MMC card is slow or may be it takes too much time after waking-up to power the card and read from it.

The tones are converted to smaller versions, so a 30secs ring i no more than 200-400k with good quality.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dreamtheater39:
here's how u can manually back up ur pim info....

1. use the built in file explorer (u cant use resco etc.)

2. choose show all files

3. go to device root, and copy "pim.vol"

4. paste it on to ur storage card....

to restore,

copy it back the same way using file explorer....

hope this helps!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] saman0suke1:
Hi, I want a phone with Android stock, and good specs, I was thinking about a Samsung Galaxy S4 GOOGLE play edition, but I'd like to know, if anyone from here have it, and if it's like having a Nexus, where all the updates will be received as soon as Google release them, and not like Samsung that I must wait months for them? thanks in advanced.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] RiverCity.45:
Updates to your phone's operating system are released by your cellphone carrier, not Samsung. Samsung releases their updates, which are then modified by each phone company to meet their unique needs, and then are released.

Some phone companies are better than others about releasing updates. Phones in Europe tend to get updated first, which allows people in the US to load those international ROMs, but they usually are missing the US carriers' special "features" (sometimes known as "bloatware"). Of course, you have to be rooted and willing to accept the risk associated with loading third-party ROMs to use those in the US.

For example, the international version of the latest ROM for the Samsung Galaxy S4 works on US phones, but does not have T-Mobile's wifi calling feature because T-Mobile has not yet released their version. Other carriers have released their version of that update, but T-Mobile has not.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] saman0suke1:
So,does that mean that, even If I get an "Android stock" phone, it depends on my carrier to receive or not the latest updates? thanks, sorry for the lack of knowledge regarding this!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] iPwnapple:
No, he is incorrect for the Google Play Edition Galaxy S4, if you buy the Play edition, you will get the latest Android version about a week or two after nexus devices receive them, since it is contract free, no carrier can control the updates. Instead, Google gives the code to Samsung and they then release the update for the Play edition S4.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] saman0suke1:
That's what I'm looking for, first of all, I don't like the Touchwiz UI, and then I always have to wait a lot for the updates, so, is this the way how it works? thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] iPwnapple:
Yup, Google gives Samsung the latest Android version and then they work on it to add some additional features, such as S-view functionality and they release it normally a week or two after nexus devices, which is much faster than the normal S4.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] saman0suke1:
But they do not convert it to TouchWiz right? I know that there is the HTC One Google play and the Nexus 4 as well, but I guess the most powerful between these is the S4 right now, do you know if all the Samsung Galaxy Note 3's comes with Android stock? I read something about it, but this is offtopic really, thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] iPwnapple:
Technically it is touchwiz without the theme, Samsung basically uses the touchwiz framework but use the stock AOSP theme instead of their own, but it will NOT look like touchwiz, it only uses the framework, but will look like AOSP, and the user interface on the Nexus 4. No, the Galaxy Note 3 will not come with stock Android, it will come with touchwiz and all its features that Samsung has planned for it. Unless they release a Google Play Edition of the Note 3.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] saman0suke1:
Do you know if this Google Play S4 is as "open" as the Nexus in which an Ubuntu version can be installed without major problems? thanks!

Hi,i got Sony Xperia SP C5303 for my birthday,i've been having it for 2 months but i still haven't found a way to make it SIM FREE.So i was wondering if any of you can set sim free rom or somthing like that. Thank You :)
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zolaisugly:
From my understanding A ROM won't make it sim free.

it needs a code look on internet for company who sell unlock codes or try your network provider for unlock code.

It will cost.

If i understand correctly sim free is a phone with no simlock? If so, here is my idea. When i was reflashing my phone with flashtool i noticed is skipped/ignored the file simlock.ta.

I'm already asked my carrier, that's the first thing i've done, but they can help me. I'm from Serbia, my phone is bought in Austria. In Serbia no one know how to unlock it.

As far as I know you are stuck with white and black for the initial offering with pink to perhaps follow. Pink phones don't sell well and require inventory space. Space is At a premium for most retail shops.

After watching the drop test video, I ended up pulling the trigger on a slim Spigen case. I'm hoping that at least maybe the impact to the case would help minimize shock to the phone a little bit.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Furby076:
When receiving or making calls the phone turns off when it approaches the ear. I understand the reason and like this function - so prefer not to uncheck this. I also understand the proximity sensor should turn the screen back on when the phone leaves my face (this used to happen).

Now, the phone stays black the moment the call is dialed or answered. I can press any button on the phone and it stays off. This presents a few problems 1) I can't dial through menu IVR menus, 2) I can't hang up calls (had to pull battery a couple of times), and 3) cannot due things like mute/unmute.

How can I get it, that if the screen is off and I press a button then the screen turns of (or the proximity sensor to work correctly).

Again, this used to work just fine - it's only recent (no changes to the phone have been made). The screen is clean so nothing is blocking the sensor.

Thanks
