god, i hate how rude people are. I grew up with DOS, so dir, and del come more naturally to me than linux commands. So just ease up on the ppl that don't know linux. I didn't know linux til i started to IRC and wanted to run an eggdrop bot. Not like everyone has irc'd or compiled, or whatever. Heck, it has been so long now, I could not write an irc script or egg addon, and I think i was the first to develop some scripts in IRC 20 years ago. So all I can say is chill.

??huh??

whats the beef all about?

you can google the command and linux and probably have a ton of sites that list and explain the usage and stuff like that for *nix commands unix is a very old OS linus torvalds just woke up 1 day at age 15 or sumthin and said im gonna make a unix kernal that runs on my intel based pc and then instead of selling it and making a fortune I'll give it away and still make a fortune.

LINUS is the greatest man of our time, when the other OS was charging BIG $ to run Apache web servers in the .com boom (even more so now) linux was FREE and gave better throughput on the same hardware

Now if you want a pretty box booklet and packaging as you have become accustomed they have them to, some just feel better if they pay for it, free must not be as good as the one that costs right?

why did I bother just rambling, please ignore the babbling lunatic in the corner he is harmless

Hi Beartard,

Thanks for the info.

This site has such a wealth of information, that it can be overwhelming to many members.

Can you tell me how to copy my apps-private from my ext2 partition to my sd card partition so I can back them up?

Thanks

:)
[G1 Android Development] Nitro212:
uh you wan't to copy your "app-private" folder as a backup in to yoru sdcard correct? well try this

busybox cp -a /system/sd/app-private /sdcard/app-private

if it don't allows you to copy do this command to re mount the system as read-write

mount -oremount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
[G1 Android Development] bestwebs:
Hi Nitro .

I tried it both ways and it says operation not permitted.

-------------------

Update:

But wait, I connected my phone to the computer and the app-private is copied to the sdcard.

Your procedure worked!:D

I erased the folder that was copied to test it again.

Then I used just this set of commands and it worked again:

busybox cp -a /system/sd/app-private /sdcard/app-private

So you still get the same error, but it works.

Thanks alot Nitro!!!

:) :) :)
[G1 Android Development] Nitro212:
u tried it as root? what error u got?

well glad it worked.
[G1 Android Development] bestwebs:
Hi,

The error says:

"cannot preserve ownership of ... cannot preserve permissions of ... operation not permitted"

for every file it tries to transfer.

But then when you look in your sdcard the app-private is there.

So it is a false error.

Thanks again.

:)
[G1 Android Development] Proxin:
It's not working for me...

My error is this:

cp: cannot stat '/system/sd/app-private': No such file or directory
[G1 Android Development] bestwebs:
Hi,

Use terminal emulator jf 1.41 or better

type su enter

then the busybox commands

Connect your phone to your computer and look on your memory card.

app-private is there

:)
[G1 Android Development] onikus:
hey guys need some help here i have the same problem, (as far as the error saying 'no such file or dir') and i tried your suggestion about typing su first then the busybox commands.

i have the most current terminal emulator, unfortunately i still continue to get the same error every time i try to run the busybox commands. it just simply say 'no such file or directory"

you guys have any suggestions for me to try ?

any help would be great.
[G1 Android Development] Nitro212:
the error i get is "cannot preserve permissions of" i think that error is not something harmful im n o *nix expert but is just saying it wont save the permision of that folder i think...

# mkdir /sdcard/bk
mkdir /sdcard/bk
# busybox cp -rf /data/app-private/ /sdcard/bk
busybox cp -rf /data/app-private/ /sdcard/bk
cp: cannot preserve permissions of '/sdcard/bk/app-private': Operation not permi
tted
# ls /sdcard/bk
ls /sdcard/bk
app-private

thats what i did.. worked for me.. moved the app-private in to a folder named bk inside the sdcard
[G1 Android Development] bestwebs:
Hi,

We are assuming that you have already moved your apps and caches to the memory in a ext2 partition, correct?

Otherwise this will not work.

[G1 Android Development] Proxin:
Is there any way to possibly do this without having the apps moved to the SD card?

I'm not completely sure I want to that as of yet. But I do want to back up my apps. :/
[G1 Android Development] onikus:
you can backup apps with astro, or mybackup.

astro you can pick which ones and i think mybackup will do them all not sure about mybackup i have not used it.
[G1 Android Development] bestwebs:
Hi,

I use astro all the time.

But, it won't back up apps-private.

It will back up all the free apps.

I never used the mybackup either.

If you try my backup, post the results.

From what I have read, it backs all your stuff up on a server.

For the people who thought I was being r00d 2 da n00bs, I did give the information requested...along with a warning. What did your replies give?

This site is generally trustworthy, and a helpful bunch, but if anyone sits there and types cryptic commands into his phone without first understanding them...well, I don't know what to say.

Just be prepared for the April Fools posts telling you that you can get video recording and stereo bluetooth by typing rm -rf * on the G1 as root. (Just in case anyone selectively reads, that says "remove (rm) everything (*) recursively through folders (-r) and don't ask for permission (-f).
[G1 Android Development] beartard:
About the permissions problems...

Unix filesystems store read/write/execute permissions as well as owner/group information for each file. FAT partitions (sd-card) don't. So when you copy the files over, the copy command is telling you it can't copy the files with all the filesystem information because the destination filesystem doesn't support it.

This is the reason that we have to use an ext2-formatted partition in order to run apps from the sd-card.

Hi Beartard,

[General Questions and Answers] [deXter]:
Does anyone know of any good scientific calculator that doesn't give the result instantly, but rather allows one to enter an expression (equation) and gives the result only on pressing "="? So for instance I could enter a long expression like (-4+((14^2-4x23x12)^(1/2))/2x4) and it'd show that on the display, allow me to insert symbols/modify the expression and it'd compute only on pressing =/EXE. I've already tried Panaromic Calc and Pocket 15C but they both don't allow to enter expressions.

The calc should also be able to most solve common equations like linear, quadratic, matrices, etc. It needn't have graphing functions though.

If you've ever used a Casio FX series of calculators (fx-991ms or similar), you know what I'm looking for.

I was actually planning on making such a calculator myself, but why reinvent the wheel when there's something like that already? (if..)

I don't mind a j2me or online (javascript/flash) based calc either, so long as all the features and buttons are present.

Freeware preferred, but I don't mind paying for a good full featured program.

Thanks for your time.

echo /dev/block/mmcblk0 > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file

that mounts your sdcard and you would be able to transfer the zip file you want to flash

Yes, I know there are several threads out there asking which is best, prettiest or whatever, but, I have TomTom installed on my Tilt with a flashed rom, but everything I've read says that TomTom will not be issuing US maps with version 7 and later. And then I read that Garmin XT has caused a lot of problems on phones. IGO is expensive. So, what is a Tilt owner to do?!? :mad:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] kareeem:

His next question I'm sure is where did you get your v7 maps, or how did you get v7 maps...

and of course, we only want to know LEGAL ways to do so.

I personally own TomTom Navigator 6, and I love it. I've got maps 6.010, so I don't think I can use them on TomTom Navigator 7. They are up-to-date enough for my driving, but I wouldn't mind the ability to update/edit maps in 7, and the ability to change the 'car' would be fun too.

In my experience Garmin has been the most accurate for me. I have tried TomTom and IGO and neither have been that impressive. I set up directions for places that I knew where I was going to see what route was chosen. Though none are perfect Garmin seems to most often pick the best route. IGO had me crossing barriers, over railroad tracks and driving right through Hershey Park at one time.

IGO and TomTom use Tele Atlas maps which is a European company and probably spends a little extra effort in Europe and Garmin uses NAVTEQ which is US based and seems to put the extra effort into US maps.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] typo:
I think there's a big subjective aspect to all this.

I've tried Garmin XT, TT7, and iGo.

iGo I could never get to lead on my Tilt. I need to try it under the newest ROM I'm running, but it constantly crashed before.

Garmin worked fine, but it ran really sluggish compared to TT and the POI database was missing a lot of stores and restaurants around my area, so the usefulness seemed limited for me.

TT works great, although it has a few little bugs that annoy me. It's definitely the most usable for me, though, and I've been happy with it.

Unfortunately, NONE of those programs have a database as good as Google Maps or MS Live Search, so I often find myself switching between programs for searching and spoken directions. I wish MS or Google would add good, cheap or free turn-by-turn directions...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] cdmccul:
One more thing to think about with TomTom... something I have just run into my self... I bought my copy of TomTom used from a guy who's phone wouldn't support it right. I trust him that he does NOT have it any more... I got all the original packaging and what not, along with the 2 gig card he bought to go with it.

Well, I installed it on my phone... and then bought my wife a phone. My wife and I want to trade phones (she wants to use the front cam), so I went to install TomTom on the THIRD phone now. Well, TomTom only allows for installation on TWO devices. I'll have to call them and see if I can get them to unlock it for me so I can install it on the THIRD machine...
