[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bkid001:
I've tried CyanogenMod, I really have. I just can't seem to get it going correctly without HORRIBLE slowdowns and other crap that just doesn't make it worth it to me.

For example, I would be in an app or doing something else on my phone, then I exit the app. I pull up my app list to find ALL of the icons bunched up in the top left corner. They then SLOWLY start to space themselves out, as if they were all reloading one by one. This was one of the many problems I had with CM that just made me go back to legit.

Other problems included slowdowns in just about everything else I did, and the Market FCing every time I tried to open it (probably unrelated, but I'm not sure).

I'm wondering if I may have done something wrong (even though I followed the steps perfectly, and I'm hardly a 'noob' at this kind of stuff), or if that's just how it's going to run on a G1.

I just want a custom rom, preferably with Apps2SD (most roms have it nowadays, right?), that won't run like crap on my phone. I hope that's not asking for too much. :]

We all know that running "adb shell" from the command line is pretty crap, and when using a latter busybox version which has coloring support it's ultimately crap. One workaround was usually to start a telnet server on the phone, and use putty to connect to that telnet server. Actually there is a more easier way to do that which also works for non rooted phones.

Actually the Android Debug Bridge has a terminal connection feature (roughly speaking), which will be enabled after you connect to the adb server in "0006shell:" mode. You can actually use the putty to connect to this interface always, by setting the following things:

- Turn off line discipline in settings

- Use RAW mode to connect to localhost:5037

- Enter "0012transport-usb" (without quotes)

- Enter "0006shell:" (without quotes)

Now you've got a full fledged connection to your device. The main drawback is that it's tedious to repeat the above all the time, so I've made some modifications to the putty binary that adds a new type of connection, called "Adb"

To use the enhanced putty:

- Select Adb from the connection type list

- Enter "transport-usb" in the host (or any other connection string, check the adb socket interface documentation if you need something else than connecting via usb)

- Enter 5037 as port, if it's not already set there.

- Connect and enjoy (you might also save this connection, so next time you only have to double-click on the settings)

Thanks for this sztupy! I had scripted out connecting to my N1 via putty, but lost the scripts. :(

I just tried connecting using your tweaked putty, but got an error. Here're a couple screenshots to show how I tried to connect and the issue I had.
[Android Apps and Games] sztupy:
The only place where it uses gethostbyname is while querying "localhost". I don't know why this fails. (maybe IPv6 related(?)...) I'll replace it to actually use "127.0.0.1"...
[Android Apps and Games] goulloux:
Hi there, just go an LG Optimus 2X, and I'm starting to play with it.

But as my linux skill is almost inexistant I do have a hard time :)

So I wanted to use your alternate putty, mainly for tab-completion, but it doesn't work.

Putty is working, but "tab" is just tabing ...

Read that's a server functionality ==> does it mean that I need to install something on my phone ?

Thx for your time
[Android Apps and Games] sztupy:
To have auto complete you need to have an auto-complete enabled shell on the phone. The default "sh" shell is very minimal (as usual phone users won't use it), so you need another one. Busybox's "sh" is actually "ash" which has all of the features you need. So to use this feature you have to have busybox installed (which is usually there if you have rooted your phone, or can be installed from market)

If you have busybox installed, then you have to run it's sh with "busybox sh" or "busybox ash". You'll get a new prompt with the new features.

Putty replacement

Hi there,

I don't know how relevant my post is in the context of this thread but I just wanted to let everyone know that I came across a new free terminal "ClearTerminal" which seems to be good.

You can try this one out if you need a replacement for putty or any other terminal.

It's available at clearconnex.com/content/clearterminal

Have a good time :)

You may need to start the ADB server first. You can do this by running any ADB command such as "adb devices". Then try again your new PUTTY.

Command history ?

Very nice tips and patch to putty !

It works great exept on one point :

I can't use command history, with commands I use before login (so during a previous login)

If I connect with adb shell with up arrow I see last commands I send. Not with putty-adb (neither with normal putty with manual 'login')

Can you access to your command history ?

Kytrix.
[Android Apps and Games] sztupy:
That's because the sh on your phone does not support saving of command history. I don't know whether there exists an appropriate sh version for Android that supports this feature.
[Android Apps and Games] TonyApuzzo:
Now that I have the ADB enhanced Putty, I am annoyed that I have to manually launch the ADB server, so I wrote a batch file to start the ADB server daemon and then lauch Putty directly connected to the Android device. As described earlier, if you want to connect to a specific device, then you'll need to create and connect to a session that explicitly refers to the device ID. In my case I rarely have more than one Android device plugged in at a time, so the following batch file works for me. The session I'm connecting to is named "Android" which is why the command line for Putty uses @Android. If you had multiple connections, you could make this into a parameter and then invoke the shortcut with an argument then you could have a "Tablet" and a "Phone" shortcut. The script will wait until your device is found before launching Putty, so you can run the script and then plug in your phone later if it happens to be unplugged.

RUN-ADB-PUTTY.BAT

@echo off
cmd /C adb wait-for-device
start "PuTTY" /B "C:\Program Files (x86)\PuTTY\adbputty.exe" @Android

Once I created this file, I then made a shortcut to the script and placed it in my Windows 7 start menu.

Hi, I like to use the command busybox for all commands.

Is there a way we can automate it rather than typing it every time.

eg: instead of typing ls /sdcard/

preferred command is busybox ls sdcard

Hence make root@android:/ # automatically use the prefix "busybox " before commands
[Android Apps and Games] lhurtado:
I can think two solutions, one is modify PATH so xbin goes first (assuming that in xbin you have all the symbolic links to busybox [ command]). The other option is define alias for the commands you use most, for example ls alias for busybox ls -la

Multiple devices?

I plan on getting a new phone and I want to continue using both of them and wish to be able to connect to both of them at the same time. Since this connects to the PC then to the phone, I don't see an obvious way to achieve this.

Edit: The answer appears to be on page two; however, the link supplied is broken.

Edit: Except that there's no serial number for devices connected via wifi.

Edit: `adb get-serialno` returns the IP address and port, so it seems logical that "transport-<ip addr>:<port number>" will work, but I can't test it until I get my new phone in 11 days (that's when I'm eligible for an upgrade). Note: Putting in an invalid or disconnected transport (eg "transport-monkey") seems to be the same as "transport-any" when 'monkey' doesn't exist.

Edit: Ok, I think I've got it nailed down: "transport:<serial number>" (colon not dash) and it *does* fail if the device is not connected ("transport:<connected IP address>:5555" connects successfully while "transport:<disconnected IP address>:5555" fails as expected).

Up-to-date putty with adb support

Thanks to the OP for the patched putty but I could not make it work with multiple devices (all blame is on me indeed).

But Here is another version of putty with adb support based on the latest version. Works flawlessly when multiple devices are connected (inl. tcp connections).
[Android Apps and Games] egingell:
I've not had any issues with multiple devices. In fact, I've had both of my phone connected at the same time doing ADB stuff in both. You just need to put the right info in and don't use "transport-any".

[Android Apps and Games] E:V:A:
Ok, I just want to clarify the somewhat fuzzy instructions in this thread.

The confusing part is that you have to enter 2 different port numbers before

the connection is working. This is how you do it.

Let's assume your phone is connected over WiFi on: 192.168.1.1

To use Putty Via WiFi, first start the ADB server with:

$ adb connect 192.168.1.1:5555
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
connected to 192.168.1.1:5555

Then in Putty enter the following:

Host Name: transport-192.168.1.1:5555
Port: 5037
Connection...: Adb

By the way, HERE is a working link to the SERVICES.TXT file explaining

the different transport methods you can use.

[Android Apps and Games] ViperGeek:
Colors are a function of the 'ls' binary, toolbox (default) or busybox.

'busybox ls' will give you colors.

'toolbox ls' will give you black & white.

My Galaxy S4 had:

$ ls -l /system/bin/ls
lrwxrwxrwx 1 0 0 7 Dec 27 23:46 /system/bin/rm -> toolbox

So I changed it to:

$ ls -l /system/bin/ls
lrwxrwxrwx 1 0 0 20 Dec 31 23:16 /system/bin/ls -> /system/xbin/busybox

and now have colored output for the 'ls' command.

Hi Guys,

Thank you @sztupy for this mod putty.

Sorry, I am a real noob, when I try to connect to my daughter's SGJ5 (SM-J510FN) running 6.0.1, I get a "fatal error : device offline" message. How can I bring my device to be online?

Phone is rooted, USB debugging is on.

(same thing, if I run, from cmd in XP, "adb devices" it shows my device but status is offline!)

edit: OK found the answer by doing "adb kill-server" and "adb start-server" at the command prompt!

I thought we'd get a thread going on cool / helpful apps available in the market or web.

Lets try to avoid only putting the name of the app. Tell us a little about the app. It doesn't have to be a story. Please provide a link to app found online only.

Games apps are welcomed.

Ex. NFL Mobile, http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8469781&postcount=628 gives current stats and scores. <-----I don't have the app installed so I don't know why it's any better than one off the market. Feel free to tell me why.

I like Silent Toggle Widget cuz it allow me to go from volume on, silent, and vibrate, from my home screen and only takes 1 icon.

Handcent SMS allows me to avoid small MMS pics and slide shows which are in the default messenger.

I like the game Alchemy. You start off with 4 elements and combine them to create new ones. I think theres over 300 combinations but I've only come up with 40ish. :o It's addicting.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brynn85:
Okay, so there have been a few things that are really kind of irritating me with the videos on the Captivate... of course it could all be operator error and there may be fixes for it all, so that's where you guys come in :)

1. It seems I can't send a video I have shot over gmail unless it's at one of the absolute lowest resolutions and lasts no more than like 10 seconds. Is there anyway around that? :confused: This is even over wifi. Shot a video last night, and couldn't get it to send until I had it on the second to lowest resolution and kept it super short (10ish seconds)... This seems pretty ridiculous considering my old phone could at least send a minute or so of pretty good resolution video without any problems and didn't give an error.

Anytime I try to send a larger or longer video so far on my Captivate, it says file too large and ends up sending a blank email to the recipient.

2. If the battery is below around about 20% I think, the phone won't even allow you to play videos... Likewise, you can't even open the camera app if the battery is on the lower end. I dunno, I feel that's kind of crazy. I mean if I wanna utilize my last few minutes of my phone's life watching a video or taking a pic for whatever reason, shouldn't I be able to make that executive decision? lol.

Soooo is there anything I'm missing here that would fix these problems for me? :o
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shovelhead84:
1. Are you trying to send a video you previously recorded or trying to send new video you just captured?

Have you tried - opening the mms or email app first and adding an attachment. When asked what attachment you select Camera. Then record video and let the app compress it before sending. This has worked well for me.

2. Heard this complaint about videos and music players alike. I couldn't provide any info on that matter as I haven't been agitated by that particular scenareo yet...

Hope this helps.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brynn85:
Umm well mostly video that has just been captured or previously recorded. When I go to the gmail app first and go to attach, it only lets me choose image files rather than video. Sigh. :-/

Anyone have problems connnecting to gtalk? It takes countless retries and forever to connect to gtalk after a phone call, switch to and from 4G, and switch to and from wifi. I know it takes some time to connect to the server through a different connection etc. but everything else works (market, gmail, maps, anything that requires internet). It sometimes take up to 2 minutes to connect to gtalk. I've tried stopping and restarting the service and nothing. This is a real problem for me because 95% of my texting is through gtalk and it's annoying to have to wait so long after I switch to wifi, 4G, or receive a call. People on Verizon don't seem to suffer from this even though they use CDMA too. Gtalk connects almost instantly.
