Where is Terminal??

I know absolutely nothing about Android but I do run Linux. Where is everyone finding Terminal on their GT? Hopefully I can start making this thing work better after several hours of frustration.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] digitalmatrixio:
You can download "Terminal Emulator" in the Marketplace - It has more options. Or go into "Dev Tools" on the device then go to the bottom to find Terminal Emulator.

I have updated the wiki to provide more detail on setting up the SDK and accessing the device via ADB. I have included the steps I took on my Windows 7 64bit machine to set it up.

Something posted on Engadget

AugenDev Posted Aug 7th 2010 5:45PMNEUTRAL

Florida- August 07, 2010*– Augen Electronics Corp., an innovator of tablet pc’s, netbooks, and eReaders, would like to deliver the following statement to address the circulating media gossip regarding Augen’s preloaded apps.

On July, 29 2010 Augen had a constructive conversation with Google Inc. The topic of the discussion was Google’s Application Suite. As you know, Google Inc. has released the source code for the entire Android platform under the flexible and commercial-friendly Apache 2.0 open source license. *Augen is free to use that open source code; however, the suite of applications comprising Google Mobile Services on Android are proprietary to Google and have not been released under open source licenses. The Google Mobile Service and Android Apps were pre installed during the development process on our tablets for testing purposes, and were not removed unintentionally before releasing the products in the market place.

Google and Augen came to a mutual understanding that the Google Mobile Services Application Suite pre-installed on the GENTOUCH/ GENBOOK Series; could not be removed due to technological constraints for the products that were sold, shipped, or already produced.

For future production runs and deliveries, Augen will block and remove the Google Mobile Services Application Suite from the current devices until further notice. We are currently in communication with Google Inc. to obtain the required licensing for upcoming products, and will announce in our future statements the timelines and availability of these products as it will become available to us. However, for your convenience Augen will add applications to accommodate the absence of the Google Mobile Services Application Suite.

OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU…

The future of Augen holds a key to develop market conscious products with a vision of delivering the latest and emerging technologies, being available and affordable to every household, big/small corporation in the United States of America and worldwide.

We are at the final stages of releasing an entire new line of products which incorporates the newest technology and concepts, that will make a difference in your every day lives. We encourage you our Gen Nation, to follow the exciting products that Augen will be unveiling in the very near future. We are here to put the world at your fingertips and take you beyond the realm of the market that exists today, bringing you with us into a new era of open world communication and computing.

We are a US based company and understand and incorporate your wishes, desires, and requirements in our company’s DNA. We are here for you and are looking for your continued support, and excitement in our current and future releases.

Gary Gofman

CEO

Augen Electronics Corp.

Unfortunately I cannot even get into the marketplace because apparently the product I bought was already bought by someone and returned (the closest Kmart is pretty far from me so I don't really feel like going back and exchanging it). Since I cannot do a full restore of the system, I cannot delete his account from my device and access the marketplace (at least not until they release the next software update).

Once I am in Terminal, how do I type? With the command for ./system/... etc. am I having that folder on the actual device or on my computer?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] digitalmatrixio:
Hold down the Menu button for a few second and the keyboard will pop up.

When you are in Terminal on the device or after issuing the command "ADB shell" you will be browsing the contents of the the device.

now the GT has become another regular tablet with no google apps :( sometimes i wish that android was completely open source. who knows maybe they'll actually come to a agreement with google.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] v_lestat:
well... everything is gone except the basic apps.

wtf happened.

the thing locked up during the reboot after pushing the Vender.apk file and then doing rm -r

which looks like it deleted all kinds of ****...

now im pissed...

how do i get that stuff back.

i had initially gotten 1 app to download from the market, installer.apk which then allowed me to install stuff from the sd card.

now nothing is there. just the bare basic stuff.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] digitalmatrixio:
I have updated the wiki with directions on how to install the custom recovery. I also included a batch file to do most of the work. Just drop the 2 files in your sdk/tools folder.

http://augendev.wikispaces.com/Custom+Recovery
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cblah001:
Well when I do step one of the Wiki (now switched back to Windows 7 to make it easier) I get this error message when I run the setup.

Failed to fetch URL https : //dl-ssl . google . com/android/repository/repository . xml, reason: HTTPS SSL error. You might want to force download through HTTP in the settings.

So... where do I go from here? It doesn't look like I can continue from here right? I had to throw spaces in the url because it wont let me post links.

EDIT: Just had to go to settings and click to force download it and everything is fine now.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] digitalmatrixio:
Are you using 32 bit or 64 bit Windows 7? Not sure- right click on computer then go to properties - it'll be next to System type.

I am looking for examples of what other people see when they try to go through the steps for "ADB Access" that I added.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] asonpar86:
One click root?

Can anyone confirm this works. I can not get adb to work at all. Says xml can't be verified? One click root will be great if somecan can verify it b4 i brick my GT lol
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] v_lestat:
mine uploaded and i guess flashed fine

i added @pause after the 2 commands in the bat file so you can see if there were any errors.

which it did not show any.

oh yeah... hold home and power on,,, yup this is clockwork recovery.

getting closer, cant wait for the custom roms!!!

or maybe just some customization like screen sensativity or calibration so the stupid keyboard will type what i am pressing!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] thatguythatdid:
Well everyone that knows, knows I returned my gt I was wondering if they ever got a working recovery on there and how the screen calibration update posted on augenus turned out? Did it fix the problems?

Edit nevermind the recovery thing

RotateD not working now!!!

Thanks to everyone here with all the good work i have been able to do all the fixes and mods. But know that I have done them all..

- 7800atpsoftware.zip update

- rooted

- market fix

- ClockWorks Recovery

- the update.zip through CW Recovery

- SetCPU

After all that :confused: now when I try to use NewsRob I can’t do it in portrait mode is there another screen rotator program out there?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xguntherc:
brink, yes it's in the Wiki. Called RotateD and it's online and in the market.

xbox and other guy asking about the little monster. The Penguin at the beginning is a Linux Penguin and that was added by Augen and I'm not sure how to remove that.. But you can change how it's black after that like I did. Any boot animation for any phone you can use. Just size might not be right. Look around in Droid, Nexus One, Incredible, EVO forums for custom boot animations and any of those will look great on the GT, but the penguin will remain. I don't know if that can be changed. I like the linux guy.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] v_lestat:
rotateD doesnt work for you?

B.S.

you have to use RotateP once you install the RotateD app to go Portrait mode.

then use RotateL for Landscape.

easiest thing in the world to do is to download it with your phone from the market.

use root explorer or what ever file manager you want that will have root access and search the entire phone and SDCard.

search for Rotate

once it finds the APK copy it to the root of your SDCard

plug the phone into your PC and copy it off the phone's sdcard to your SDK Tools folder

plug the Gentouch back into the pc

open a command prompt and type

adb remount

adb install xxxxxx.apk (where xxxxx is the name of the rotateD apk file.)

(i actually just used root explorers FTP option and FTP the apk to my NAS

then i copy it off the nas to my tools folder in windows (not via ftp)

then use the install adb command.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] thebrinkster:
RotateD still not working..

thanks xguntherc for getting back on this but yes i know about RotateD. And it don't work. I was using that program but now its not working. anything elas???
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] v_lestat:
you mentioned an update.zip via CW Recovery

what update.zip are you refering to? i hope you dont mean the calibration update

that zip is not to be flashed... its just a zip with the instructions and update files and usb fastboot drivers inside. you run the bat file inside and boot to recovery (not clockwork)

what update.zip do you have? i havent seen any updates.

god have i been so busy today trying to crash my GT that i missed an all important update ? lol
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sgyee:
Did you load LauncherPro? If you don't and you're using the stock desktop, RotateD won't work.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] v_lestat:
hey guys, after doing the calibration update if i flash clockwork is it messing anything up?

i lost root and had to reroot. (took all of 30 seconds)

but i lost clockwork recovery too so i want to reflash but dont want to mess anything up.

if Augen puts out another update, and we have to do it the way they did the calibration update, how can we when clockwork is installed?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] thebrinkster:
I am using ADW.Launcher.. but never mid it was a setting in ADW. Thanks for the help and everyone keep up the great work.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] v_lestat:
guys what about some of the market access apk's out there?

i know there what a cache issue found but only a few people from what i am reading actually have market working. so if we are all doing the cache fix (i havent yet as it blew out the stock tablet stuff once already) shouldnt it be working for all of us who did it successfully?

has anyone tried these market enablers. they are a carrier simulator and as such should work.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] followinginsanity:
The carrier emulation is not the issue. If you follow all the steps in the market enabler howto. Then you should be good. I personally only did the steps for getting and androidID onto my device. After that I was good.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] thatguythatdid:
Augen just needs to admit they are out of their league and ask to use clockwork on their site ;) Also anytime you use a update from a corporation you risk losing root and everything you've worked for so best bet is wait for a dev to make an update zip
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mogrith:
Next weeks update from Augen should remove Tuz Tasmanian devil with Tux beak

Tuz is for raising awareness and funding for fighting Tasmanian devil face cancer.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] v_lestat:
hahahha yeah, their roms feel like I cooked them and i dont know the first thing about it.

its just a bunch of chinese guys throwing **** on a shingle and calling themselves Dev's. (no offense to the chinese, i love my asian fellow man and woman, but your right these guys suck and cant even make a website)

looking around youtube there are a crap ton of these near i dentical tablets.

im looking for the 1ghz models though... that would be nice.

i guess my above statement that you quoted was meant to ask, is it cool to put CW Recovery back on, or are people seeing that 'F up' their update ?

i'd love to have the ipad skin thats on the ePad
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] andrews240:
Putting CW back on will not F up your update.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] geebake:
I'm having a frustrating problem.

I can't seem to get my GT to show up in Device Manager. At least not in the way the wiki shows that it should.

I have installed all of the Augen patches. I have installed the SDK and the USB driver thingee. I have updated the android_winusb.inf file.

When I connect my GT to a PC, two things happen.

1. Under 'Disk Drives' I get three new entries. that all say 'Telechip's Android USB Device'

2. Under 'Portable Devices' I get 3 new entries ' L:\, M:\ and N:\'

None of these entries will allow their driver to be updates with anything in the USB folder.

According to the instructions, there should be an entry under 'Other Devices' that says 'Android Eclaire'

I am currently working on a Win 7 64 bit machine, but I have also tried this under Vista 32 bit with the exact same results.

Am I missing a step? Does anything need to be done to the GT to get it in a particular mode or something? I have tried this with USB connection mounted and not mounted. Same results.

I'm at my wits end. I thank you guys for your hard work. If anyone can advise me on this, I'd really appreciate it.

Greg
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cblah001:
I am in the same situation now. The only place I see the device in all of that is under G:/ and it only wants to update some audio driver or something.

Also, to the people returning your GTs. I personally think you're making a mistake. I think you should at least wait until your (what I believe is) 30-day return policy kicks in. I think there is a lot more to be done with this thing. As an early adopter there are going to be bumps in the road that you must deal with. Just my 2.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] digitalmatrixio:
Make sure that the device still has USB Debugging turned on (Under Settings --> Applications --> Development)

My Kmart receipt shows a return by date of October 26. I bought it July 28. That is 90 Days.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] v_lestat:
hey guys, just did something that i have to report back about.

after doing the calibration update last night and being frustrated that the market wasnt working this morning i decided to do a wipe/factory reset and cache wipe via the Recovery Menu. (mind you i did have clockwork installed but the calibration update killed it, but they have their own working recovery now)

so after booting up i skipped the setup, and went into settings, and immediately disabled "allow mock locations".

Fired up the market, waited for the sync icon on the task bar to finish then signed in with a completely DIFFERENT google account i have.

it accepted it and closed the market like it always does after you first sign in.

I went back into the market and it loaded and BAM! fully working downloads.!!!

i immediately started grabbing a few key apps just incase the downloading stopped working.

and it has not, i can still download apps.

BUT WAIT, There's More!!

immediately when the market loaded and i started downloading my first app, a **** ton of wacky oddball apps that i never requested started attempting to download....... and i mean atleast a dozen or more.

None of them downloaded, all said unsuccessful, but mine that i chose were still downloading.

These must be residual apps left over from when the so called Dev's were Cooking the Rom...

I am just kicking myself for NOT turning off "Allow Moc Locations" prior to the Wipe, but thats totally cool. It's not like its my phone with all my **** in it.

so what do you guys think, was it one of the things i did, or was it more than likely a combination of the two ?

ALSO--

The screen autorotated once when using LauncherPro - haven't been able to get it to do it again, but it did do it by itself.

The screen now wakes up when you touch it

The screen now wakes up when you hit any of the buttons on the back.

none of those 3 things worked prior to the cache wipe and factory restore (wipe)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cblah001:

does anyone know how to install a contacts apk on the gt.

i pulled contatcts off of my droid1 and put it on the sd card but now i am stuck on what to do. I tried to install it with the package installer but that did not work. So deos anyone have any suggestions
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] digitalmatrixio:
I just realized that "functionality" is caused by another development mode: "Stay Awake"

With it checked off it functions like that, without it set the only button that turns it on is the power.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] v_lestat:
yeah it doesnt even pull your google contacts which is odd, but i guess not if there is not contacts.apk

there is a ContactsProvider.apk in the /system/app folder but it doesnt do anything when you install it.

i would think a contacts.apk from another device wouldnt work... ???

also if there are no communication devices in the device it may not allow any contact.

i believe its more of the core OS, the contacts maybe have been removed all together? especially since it wont pull your google contacts.

Yup, but this did not work before, only after I did the update then the full wipe
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mogrith:
See the fix I posted on slatedroid. Making this in to a slatedroid wiki entry is on my to-do list.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] v_lestat:
aaaaand the market is broke again.

i rebooted and then got a network communications error when i clicked the Menu then Downloads.

web was working though. so i rebooted and now the market is broke again.

going to try a cache wipe again.

edit - nope, cache wipe only didnt fix it. - so could it be possible that the market doesnt see that i am on a bogus android and i can download things at first but then their servers catch up and wont let me install anything?

and the unit's battery is sh|t, wow. it shut off at like 14%, and it went down to 14% in a matter of minutes from where it was, maybe 35-40%
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] digitalmatrixio:
That replacement screen idea is starting to sound like a nice idea... :(

Something (heavy) fell over on my desk and knocked it to the floor.

The screen displays fine but the digitizer (The glass layer b/w the plastic cover and the LCD screen?) does not work anymore. (no more touch input)

I think it goes without saying that I won't be able to do much with the device unless I can figure a way to setup the VNC server on it without requiring input on the device.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Rainsphere:
I was able to get the contacts app installed by first ripping the contacts.apk from the emulator.

Boot up a 2.1 emulator and type:

adb -e pull /system/app/Contacts.apk

to transfer it, make sure your gentouch is plugged in and type:

adb -d remount

adb -d push Contacts.apk /system/app/Contacts.apk

Hope this helps.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cblah001:
I'm not sure if this is possible, necessary, or just stupid but I am wondering if you could replace the screen with a capacitive screen or maybe just a better quality screen.

Also, sorry to repost but I think that there are so many posts at this point that nobody goes to any of the other pages. Can someone give me more info on rooting when I get to the terminal menu? I just get permission denied when I type in the first command line.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] zendick:
to install google apps on any device they must be signed with the same keys as the os, luckily our os is signed with test keys (the same as emulator) so we can use the emulator apps.

Hi linckraker,

Sorry for my question but how do you restore the image. I did the clockwork like shown on the custom + recovery page I didn't notice anything when I ran it. I already have the superuser but not the market working I only was able to make it work one time and I downloaded 3 apps but I haven't been able to make it work since then. To install your image do I just copy the img file to the tools folder and then run the following commands

adb push boot.img /sdcard/boot.img

adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/boot.img

or do I follow the steps like rooting

adb push ./system/app/Superuser.apk /system/app/

adb push ./system/xbin/su /system/xbin

adb shell rm /system/bin/su

adb shell ln -s /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su

adb shell chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su

adb shell reboot

Thanks

"here is an update zip to install superuser. this also has a workaround for the /cache problem. along with the nexus one boot animation.

THIS MUST BE INSTALLED VIA CLOCKWORK RECOVERY"

if you have any problems let me know.

did i do something wrong when i created my AndroidId then added it the file on the phone.

i got market working but i am noticing an unusual amount of japanese apps.

not a huge amount but a few at the top of the popular list that i wouldnt fine if i was on my EVO.

i also am not able to find Dolphin HD browser, but if i go to AppBrain, it will find it but it wont let me install it.

this must be a location issue?? or device id issue?

it shows regular dolphin browser also but i cant install it.

it does find and allow me to download Dolphin HD themes and add-ons

edit - even using the emulator it wont find Dolphin Browser HD
