I to have been curious as to the best linux distro for android development. I'm not looking for afull blown linus os...more along the lines of dsl for android and app development. I have only dabbled with linux, mainly dsl and phlak livecds. I want something a little more capable then that.

UBUNTU IS THE BEST OS because android is developed under linux with java base...

if you tray windoze you must to adjust a lot of thinks and make compatibilities... don´t complicate and try UBUNTU 10:D:D

Linux is best os android development application. Android is an operating system based on Linux and a robot body or synthetic. It is open source as a Java library. It is a software stack for mobile devices because it includes an operating system and middleware, application key.
[General Questions and Answers] GuestD2806:
I think the best Linux for Developing Android is Ubuntu. There is a new version, 11.04. Try it :)
[General Questions and Answers] itstheshawnp:
i know linux is the obvious choice for android development as it has the same base as android. i also understand ubuntu is the most popular of the linux brands, but i dont really need a full blown linux os. i curently use my mobile-ap for internet with about 2 bars if that...so internet speeds are slow. i dont want to spend alot of time and bandwidth downloading a linux os with features i will probably never use. or is there a light version of ubuntu with just a basic environment i need to develop for android?

as for my other computing needs, im still a windows fan!

[General Questions and Answers] insomniateam:
Since you might be using Eclipse as IDE, there shouldn't be too much difference using a windows or linux OS.

We're using windows and we're satisfied...
[General Questions and Answers] Vendito973:
Just try different OSs. You'll notice windows is slow when compiling Java. Why is that - the OS, or the usual virus scanners sitting on it - don't know. I'm pulling my hair right know why my Macbook Pro on a 7000 rpm drive is much (3x) faster to compile than windows XP on a 10K rpm drive. My office buddy's telling me Linux is faster then windows.
[General Questions and Answers] taranasus:
Wow... some of the answers in this thread are just... wow...

Ok listen up people!

For just pure development it doesn't matter which OS you choose. You can code just as well in Linux, Windows or Mac since they all run the JDK, Eclipse and the Android SDK just as well. HOWEVER:

Linux has some advantages over the two:

1. The Android emulator will run better on certain versions of Linux depending on how they are set up. The AVD works by using an emulation technology called qemu which is now integrated in the Linux kernel giving it direct access to the processor thus improving the speed of the emulator significantly. Windows and MacOS don't have qemu integrated in their kernel as far as I know therefore the emulator works like S**t.

2. Linux distributions by default are optimised to work faster on hardware than Windows. Take note of the words "than Windows". MacOS is highly optimised to work as fast as possible on Macs therefore it can't really compete in this category. But for PC users, if you invest the time and effort to make your Linux machine tweaked accordingly to your hardware settings it will blow windows away when it comes to processing speed, therefore enhancing the quickness of your IDE as a result.

Now that we got that out of the way, I do have a warning: Linux Is Hard To Configure Properly! Unless you know exactly what you are doing you will brake it over and over and over again until you get it working. If you really must use Linux, here are the distributions I recommend for developing Android apps:

Linux Beginners: Ubuntu - any version above 10.04 I think. Take your pick at what works best for you

Linux Intermediate: Spend some time configuring a Slackware Machine with Eclipse + ADT + JDK + qemu. You won't be sorry.

Linux Advanced: Gentoo or Archbang depending on preferance

Linux Experts: The bloody hell are you doing on this thread?
[General Questions and Answers] Xyzodiac:
Awe but Archbang is easy, how about pure Arch Linux ;D

I cant seem to uninstall any of the stock apps that came with the phone. I can delete all the apk files by simply doing rm file.apk, but that only removes the installation file, it doesnt actually uninstall. i found various threads saying they can be uninstalled using the package manager, but i dont have any success.

# pm uninstall com.sprint.zone

pm uninstall com.sprint.zone

Failure

is the error i receive, and that is regardless if which stock app i try to uninstall. ive rooted using the standard method detailed here, not the unrevoked, and i use 'su' before attempting my uninstall, still no luck.

any ideas?

not sure if i just have it rooted in some weird way, but mounting the /system as rw still wont allow me to delete files. it tells me it deletes them, but they remain after a reboot. if i go thru recovery instead, it seems to resolve the problem, apps removed :)

I got excited about this and went to the beta page. It said it was still closed, and about two days ago I submitted my email address and stuff.

About five minutes after that, I got another email saying that I've been accepted into the beta.

Got into the beta, but I run into a number of different problems downloading and validating installtion. Haha. Anyone want to post the download like in the other thread, please?
[EVO 4G General] AshMa:
I just came here trying to find the answer too. Then I checked the Swype site and found the answer. Using some of the below info, I first uninstalled Swype and the Swype Installer. I then installed Advanced Task Killer from the Market and killed a lot (but not all) of the running apps. Then I went back to the Swype email and thru the link, installed the Swype installer again and went thru the same steps again and this time the validation worked.

" Advanced: I receive one of the following errors when I try to install Swype:

1.Registration of the License Failed

2.Swype is already installed. Please uninstall Swype and try again.

3.Swype is configured for another device and will operate with limited functionality.

4.You do not have the necessary permissions to install Swype or

5.The ID of this of this phone does not match your registration at beta.swype.com

These errors are often shown when the Swype installer is terminated prematurely by the Android OS system activity manager as it tries to reclaim resources. Regardless of the cause, these steps should resolve the issue:

1.Uninstall both Swype and SwypeInstaller from your device - detailed directions here

2.Reboot your device

3.Close as many widgets from your desktop as possible

4.Download the SwypeInstaller

5.Use a task-manager to kill all non-essential running apps

(If you are not familiar with the task-manager, you can skip this, but you may see the error again)

6.Install and run the SwypeInstaller"

The whole series of pictures from this project are located here. I slapped together a great swiveling mount from an old Hero ProClip, a $5 case, and a standard iso pattern car bracket (can be used to hold anything with the standard pattern, generic).

I am including pictures of everything to help others rig a mount with spare parts if they don't have an old ProClip to steal from. Just like the ProClip this swivels to point left, right, up, down and can be spun 360 degrees.

Please excuse the filthy car, just got back from a road trip:

I used the stock Hero clip as a quick guide to drill 3 holes in my new Evo case.

I like the ProClip Mounts except for two things:

1) They are too expensive

2) They take too long to release new products

I got a great $5 case from handhelditems.com that grips the phone from the sides and bottom. This makes it a great candidate to become a car mount. I did have to drill three holes in this case to mount the bracket to it.

I had the luxury of cannibalizing the ball and screw mount from my Hero ProClip. I took pictures of these parts from a few angles to help others create their own from hardware store parts. If you need pictures of something let me know and I will get better lighting and a few good shots.

The only issue that I have left is that the two screws holding the bracket on cannot be countersunk flush because the case's plastic is too thin. I am going to dremel the heads of these screws nearly flat and then cover them with rubberized grip. Liquid rubberized grip can be bought at the hardware store and is used to treat handles of tools usually. This should make the screws and the case one piece.

The fit is very snug AND it is quick to pop the phone in and out of this holder right to left (volume keys first). Honestly I like this better than my official Hero ProClip setup because it is less bulky and easier to take the phone in and out of.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Kiraly:
Very nice! I used an old ProClip mount as well for my EVO car mount. I had a ProClip mount for a Treo 700. All I did was use a heat gun to reform the ProClip to fit the EVO. Worked great and looks great. I did the same thing with an old Treo ProClip for my wife's Nexus 1.

Hi Richard,

Thank you for your interest in our ProClip Holders. At this time we do not have a Holder for the HTC EVO 4G. We do anticipate making one, however due to the large number of new products we are developing, we cannot give a specific date as to when this will be available. You will be notified by e-mail as soon as the Holder has been received at our warehouse and is ready for online ordering.

The HTC EVO does not fit in the holders for the HTC HD2. The width is the same but the HTC EVO is slightly thicker which doesn’t allow the device to slide in. Also the charging port and HDMI ports on the HTC EVO don’t line up with the HTC HD2 holders.

I was thinking of doing something like this too since proclip is indeed taking way too long to release a new vehicle mount. I'm using invisible shield atm which worked in proclip mounts (was a bit tight) on my TP1 and TP2. My question is, how snug is that case from handheld and would it possibly work with invisible shield installed you think?
[EVO 4G Accessories] danknee:
It is tight, but the case is flexible and I think it would work fine with an invisible shield installed.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Shady Gambino:
You could get one of these arkon holders and attach it to your bracket with the adapter that comes with it:

My friend said it fits his EVO perfectly without covering up the USB and HDMI ports on the bottom. The same company also sells brackets for different car makes:

Thanks, Dean
[Desire General] MasDroid:
Unfortunately, reverse tethering or connecting the phone through computer's Internet connection (through an ad hoc wifi) is not possible, which is quite annoying. It would be nice if this type of feature, although highly unlikely, could be incorporated an upcoming ROM update for example.

That is annoying, especially since I could do this with my old WM - although thanks for the reply and info.

I wonder if it could be done through an app perhaps.

Yes it's extremely annoying. I had this on my HD and HD2, but i really don't know why HTC could not incorporate this with the Desire. Afterall, it's a desirable (excuse pun) feature.

it has nothing to do with your phone, since it all depends on the host computer. On mac: you can do it easily by sharing your internet connection in system preferences.
