[Vibrant General] tonomon:
I also deleted mediahub and the drm services through titanium. Then I deleted the 0kb drm related references through the task manager.

Now I have the same music player issues that you guys have. I also get fc on video player sometimes and the major lag+freeze after changing input method to android keyboard but I don't know if those last two issues are rom related

How can I fix the music player? Am I going to have to reflash bionix fusion 1.1?

EDIT: I flashed bionix fusion 1.2 bought key to titanium. I froze the three drm related services in titanium and I froze mediahub. I also decided to free task manager. I'll report back on the battery life with all those frozen. No problems on the music player anymore.

Can someone real quick tell me if I should also remove the DRM stuff in system/lib?? thanks

Is there a way to choose a contact that whenever they call it is forwarded to my google voice number.

IE: this company somehow got a hold of my cell phone number(unfortunately not my GV number) and calls me about 3-4 times a week. They don't leave a message or anything. So i am looking for a way to be able to forward this contact to my GV number with the "this number has been disconnected" message.

any ideas?

Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jmajor1111:
this is how I've done it:

Set GV as your voicemail, then add the contact with the "send to voicemail" option on your phone (view contact, menu > options and check the send to voicemail box) and of course mark the number as spam on GV. works for me just fine.

otherwise, get a blacklist application. don't always work but they are nice in most cases.

Thanks

I've been waiting to hear feedback, was it a simple process.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mizch:
I see two problems at first glance with the instructions above:

1. This will only work with two brands, the one

being HTC ("0bb4"), the other

not known to me. For a list of other vendors, have a look at http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html .

2. You're mixing up adb-related instructions with instructions to change Ubuntu's UI, which is totally unrelated. This "Extra goodie (Aero Snap Windows.)" is neither needed for the task in question nor is it asked for by many Linux users (like me). Also, I wouldn't recommend -- at least not to an average user -- to bypass Ubuntu's package management in order to get some visual sugar. Bypassing might conflict with further updates and lead to a situation where thorough knowledge is required.

As a simple, efficient and painless way I recommend the app adbWireless. No need to install anything but the SDK (downloaded from developer.android.com and only from there) and the app. Then start adb and the app and give the command line provided by the app's display, and you're connected without any messing around with udev and permissions.

Excellent Post. Thank you very much.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Mogomra:
I can't get anything but "No command 'adb' found"

I'm trying to follow your instructions, but the section with the export PATH stuff is very hard to follow.

I know that adb is located in:

/home/USERNAME/Applications/android-sdk/platform-tools

So I would put this in my .bashrc:

#AndroidDev PATH
export PATH=${PATH}:/Applications/android-sdk/platform-tools
# include

And then I'd type this into the terminal:

export PATH=$PATH:/Applications/android-sdk/platform-tools

Right?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Devildog8791:
I followed your guide for adb installation and it worked great. I just want to say thanks.

In the Aero tip, I just wanted to know what you meant by setting it to the right and left edges. When I put my pointer to the edges, the windows resize like you said and I wanted to set it up like you have yours.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] blas4me:
You'll get it

Your SDK folder should be in your home directory. You should rename your SDK folder to androidsdk for simplicity, if your pasting the commands from my post. I see the path you tried to export and it's not correct. I said in my post that they changed the location of the adb file, but to follow the instructions. You need to redo your bashrc file, just copy and paste my code lines, and you can't go wrong, trust me. I want your adb&fastboot up & running. Let me know what happens.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Mogomra:
I figured it out. I should have put a ~ in front of "/Applications" or "home/USERNAME" in front of it.

Thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] blas4me:
You can set edge bindings from two applications, SCSM or Compiz
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] blas4me:
That's strange I've never heard of anybody using that path, can you still just type in " adb devices " and see you phone or do you have to type " sudo adb "
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Devildog8791:
So instead of going to the sides, you are going to the corners, correct?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] blas4me:
Yes, just choose left & right corners.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Devildog8791:
Thanks, I appreciate the help.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] midget_3111:
I'm getting my self confused here, I've downloaded the SDK, placed it in my home directory, gone to /androidsdk/tools, but adb is no where to be found in the whole SDK?

EDIT: Okay, so I had to run android first and download it - Doh!, followed the rest of your instruction, yet I have be in the platform-tools directory to run it, and can only run it wil "sudo ./adb devices"; and my G1 only shows up as ??????????
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] blas4me:
I don't think you followed the instructions because you wouldn't have to sudo to start adb. My method gives you root permission. so you don't have to navigate to your tools directory to start adb, just type " adb devices ", so you went wrong at some point, your getting ??????????? then adb is recognized but you did something wrong. Go back through the steps and make sure you didn't skip anything. There used to be a method that used that command "sudo ./android...... I used to see guys using that command on the droidforums, never worked for me though. Try pasting a copy of adb file in usr/local/adnroidsdk/tools
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Gerain:
Doesn't work for me. I don't have adb in the tools folder.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] blas4me:
adb file is in the platform-tools folder, make sure you make it executable and open with auto-prompt, and see if that works. Let me know what happens.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Gerain:
shoul i write export PATH=${PATH}:/androidsdk/platform-tools?

I don't have installer zip. Sorry for the noob question.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] blas4me:

Can you please write the new how to install ADB on Ubuntu 10.10?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] blas4me:
I just reinstalled 10.10, and used this tutorial to get adb&fastboot up and running and it works just fine. I simplified things as much as I could, trust me if your having problems then your missing a step. You need to let me know exactly where your at so I can guide you through the rest of the process. Because the contents of the SDK have changed doesn't mean new instructions have to be written.

got it woking after 'usb debugging'

I tried all possible methods and failed only discover that I didn't enable the 'usb debugging' mode... how lame :p
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] FileFixer:
It is very simple. In my instructions he must read few first lines... :) And he don`t forget to download attached file which include ADB for Linux.:D

Open terminal and you will see this...

your_name@computer_name:~$

Then type this in your Terminal window. Only BOLD text must be typed... Don`t forget to press ENTER after type the command in Terminal.

And don`t forget to type your root password after sudo command.

your_name@computer_name:~$ cd Desktop

your_name@computer_name:~/Desktop$ cd ADB_install

your_name@computer_name:~/Desktop/ADB_install$ sudo cp adb /usr/bin

your_name@computer_name:~/Desktop/ADB_install$ sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/adb

Don`t forget that USB Debugging MUST be enabled on your phone !!!

Connect your phone via USB cable and type this...

your_name@computer_name:~$ adb devices

After that you can see that is your device properly connected to your computer and will see this...

List of devices attached

0123456789ABCDEF device

After over an hour of struggling, I finally got my ADB device working on my Ubuntu 10.10.

For whatever reason, restarting udev didn't seem sufficient. I finally tried rebooting and after that, it worked fine.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] blas4me:
Anytime you install anything or modify you should reboot, It's just a good habit.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mikereidis:
I figured rebooting all the time came from the Windows world.

Rarely have I had to reboot under Linux, except for the expected stuff such as kernel updates.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] blas4me:
Yeah me to, but lately I've had to reboot for certain changes to take affect. IDK but ubuntu 10.10 is really unstable to me, I've had to reinstall about four times in the last month. I always test the latest ubuntu out in my virtualbox for a couple of months just to see if it's stable enough to install alongside window 7. I had no problems in the box, but since I've installed alongside windows, pure problems. I've been thinking about trying other linux distros, have any suggestions.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mikereidis:
Ubuntu has been pretty good to me for 4 years now, currently running on 5 PCs in my home. I have no reason to change, and am not aware of any general stability issues, although I turn graphics effects off. May be something specific to your hardware.

Ubuntu may be an "easy" distro, but it suits my needs just fine for all the techy/development stuff I do.

I stick with popular distros, in part so I can easily google answers to my issues.

Anyway, for other distros see:

http://distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=major

Fedora Core and OpenSUSE have been popular for a long time.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] blas4me:
I like the graphical effects, that's what attracted me to Ubuntu, I saw a compiz-fusion video on youtube. I've tried OpenSUSE, Debian, Gnome, KDE, and a couple other distros in my virtualbox and I like them, but couldn't find a lot of forums to get information from. Debian took forever to install, and you have to really know what your doing because there seems to be several ways to install, it was way over my head, but I'm a little more advanced since then, so I waiting for the new Debian release, and I'm going to give it a try, in a virtual machine of course. I have three laptops, and two of them are running Ubuntu only, and I run Windows 7 in virtualbox, I also have a new Toshiba with all the latest hardware, I'm dual booting, so I thought sense Ubuntu runs swell on my older machines, then It would do even better on my new machine. Like you said Ubuntu is very popular. My system runs swell without the graphical effects and many times I thought to just disable them, but I'm drawn to them:D. When I install I use my Nexus to tether, maybe the next time I will use my modem. Also Ubuntu would be unbeatable if we had the option to create restore point, if a package breaks or you f something up, and you can't fix it, then you have to start all over. Thanks for the feedback though.

ADB don't detect my tablet

Hello, I have the same problem that ADB don't detect my tablet. Ubuntu mounts the file sdcard system perfectly and I can access to it, but ADB says no device is attached. I do it from my laptop and this is the lsusb exit:

Is it possible that the integrated webcam generates the conflict? how can I disable it on Ubuntu 10.10?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] blas4me:
Do you have the third party add-ons installed, if not then you need to install. Once you install check list of installed packages and make sure they are installed. On windows I had to install 3 or 4 times. I just noticed that I don't have them installed on my Ubuntu, so I'm going to do the same. From my experiences dealing with Samsung and Motorola, you have to install their drivers to communicate with, and recognize you phone, and now we're blessed with tabs. After I install, I'm going over to t-mobile and see if they let me adb with one of the tabs. I let you know what happens:D

Note: make sure you accept all when installing third party add-ons.

Here are Samsung Vibrant drivers, since the Galaxy in basically a larger version of the phone, it might help, also check this site out, these guy seem to have had the same problem.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] blas4me:
I tried to attach to post but no go, so here are instructions for installing Samsung drivers.

Prerequisite: You need Wine installed

1. Exract driver zip to your androidsdk folder or whatever you named it.

2. Make Setup.exe, executable and to open with Wine, then run.

3. If dual-booting, select browse for installation.

a. navigate to your /home/user/name-of-your-sdk/amd64, then install and let it do it's thing.

NOTE: Installer will notify you if installed correctly or not

Hi - I'm having issues to work with my G1 via ADB, under Ubuntu 10.10 64bit

I have -

1 - installed SDK.

2 - created an "/etc/udev/rules.d/99-android.rules" file with -

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0bb4", SYMLINK+="android_adb", MODE="0666"

3 - I have run - "sudo chmod a+r 99-android.rules"

Now even after reboot - nothing will happen when I plug the USB, nor in the G1 (no indication in the status bar about USB connected), and on the Ubuntu. needls to say that there are no devices in the ADB :confused:

I have run - "udevadm monitor"

But when plunging the G1 I don't see anything.

BTW - Under windows the ADB is working - So I can say that the G1 is probably OK, and I did something wrong in Ubuntu.

Please help. :o

Thx in advance

Blas4me please help (somehow noob).

I have Imac (intel based) with vmware (ubuntnu 32bit 10.10). I follow your instructions and i can not see my galaxy s I9000(running CM7) through adb. I can see my phone on macosx but when i start the ubuntu the debugging icon disappeared from my phone. I read a thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=570452) that i have to determine in vmware the usb connection. Also what kind of android.rules must apply ? something like that ? SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="04e8", MODE="0666"

04e8 =samsung

but when i connect my phone to macosx it says samsung nexus s

Any idea or help?

Sorry for taking so long to reply, I'm in a bootcamp preparing for my A+ and Network+, but you can try installing Samsung drivers, on Ubuntu I had to install the drivers for Motorola, Samsung, and Sprint. And you might have to install Kies, that's what I read on the Droidforum. With those phones you need to find the drivers for your phone or pad type. I'm just starting to use VMware, I used to use Virtualbox, so I don't know if that's the problem, when I have time I'll install Ubuntu on my VM and see if that's your problem if lack of drivers isn't your problem. Let me know what happens.

What is NOT worked for me: macosx+vmware fusion . As i told when i connect the samsung galaxy s i9000 with cm7 the debugging mode looks to stopped. I installed parallels on macosx and everything worked fine. I now working on vmware desktop with ubuntu 10.10 64bit as a guest and win7 64bit as host (on bootcamp).Just to make sure(on ubuntu 10.10), after installing java6 and update ADB (i also installed eclipse) the android rule that worked for me is the following

gksudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules

and then

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="18d1", SYMLINK+="android_adb", MODE="0666" GROUP="plugdev"

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0bb4", SYMLINK+="android_adb", MODE="0666" GROUP="plugdev"

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="04e8", SYMLINK+="android_adb", MODE="0666" GROUP="plugdev"

the 18d1 is for my htc desire hd+samsung galaxy s i9000 (on CM7) .The trick here is that if you running samsung galaxy s i9000 with cyanogenmod7 the pc recognise the phone as samsung nexus s and not as i9000

the 04e8 is for pure samsung (running stock rom)

the 0bb4 is for the old htc devices

Hope to help

Another way of installing on Ubuntu 10.10 x64

I tried ALMOST ALL ways ON GOOGLE, on ubuntu 10,10 .. :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

including that one, but didnt work too..

I m on ubuntu 10.10 x64 ! FINALLY INSTALLED!!!!!!!!!1 AGRYFACE!!!!

What i 've done:

check if i have missing drivers(didnt have) :

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

Download sdk

, extract it to home, blablabla.

Check if it recognizes your adb devices:

plug your android. Navigate through terminal where is adb file(in platform-tools, or in tools),

and type: adb devices

if it says "xxxxxxx device" then you are okay, and you dont need the "99-android.rules" trick..

where xxxxxxx is a alfanumeric value.

Edit the .bashrc file:

And all the trick was in the .bashrc file!

Edit by: ~$ sudo gedit .bashrc &

And insert these lines at the end of the file

PATH=$PATH:/home/[B][COLOR="Red"]USERNAME[/COLOR][/B]/androidsdk/tools
export PATH
PATH=$PATH:/home/[B][COLOR="Red"]USERNAME[/COLOR][/B]/androidsdk/platform-tools
export PATH

where USERNAME, user your own username of-course ;)

Save, and close it.

then from ternimal run: exec bash

(magic command!!! :D )

Then install the rest of the android sdk using:

cd ~/androidsdk/tools/

./android

then try typing "adb" only on the terminal. If you get the adb manual, hit thanks button :)

If i could, i would thanks my self, for finally got working the god damn adb!!!! :D:D

(it was installed correctly, but i couldn't figure how to run it directly from terminal)

Some of the reasons didnt worked, was that adb moved from tools folder, to platform tools.. so you have to put both files into .bashrc
