bluetooth device not found

i have installed OpenMobileSuite on my ubuntu 11.10...all the installation process went fine..and in Technical Information dialogue box it shows that all the plug-ins are installed perfectly..but i still having problem connecting my Samsung Galaxy Mini ( emanoN v4 2.3.6 ) to openmobilesuite...its continuously showing "no bluetooth devices found"..will somebody pls sort it out what should i do?
[Android Apps and Games] LuHe:
The contact sync will be rewritten in the next release, if there are still errors it would be great if you could get a log from the device (using adb logcat)
[Android Apps and Games] LuHe:
This is a bug in pybluez, which i could fix in their SVN version. I'll include this in my PPA too
[Android Apps and Games] LuHe:
Windows Port finished!

(this means that i managed to build dbus under windows, including the Qt mainloop integration and the python bindings; more information about that is here: http://web.archiveorange.com/archive/v/2mxmYng5gCA0MCJamGh9 )
[Android Apps and Games] eiric:
Cool, tell me when it's ready I cannot wait to test! :)
[Android Apps and Games] eiric:
Hi Lukas,

I've seen you've updated open mobile suite packages recently: https://launchpad.net/~lukas-hetzenecker/+archive/openmobilesuite/+packages

I tried a fresh install, but I couldn't send the android application to my mobile:

How to get it?

By the way, the svn version seems to be outdated (http://sourceforge.net/projects/openmobile/develop).
[Android Apps and Games] LuHe:
Argh, I shouldn't have enabled automatic publishing.

There is still a small bug in there, another update will be available in the next few hours.
[Android Apps and Games] LuHe:
Erm.. i don't know this project

Mine is developed here: http://series60-remote.svn.sf.net/viewvc/series60-remote/branches/work/series60-remote-dbus/ ;)

(the project will soon be renamed to openmobilesuite, series60-remote was the old name)
[Android Apps and Games] eiric:
No problem, I'll check in few hours your new version :)

Do you advice the ppa or (right) svn version ?
[Android Apps and Games] LuHe:
openmobilesuite-base 0.9.91-2ubuntu1 should fix the error, could you try to update?

They are currently the same. PPA should be alright, I'll release a new version whenever some important new feature is implemented.
[Android Apps and Games] eiric:
Hi Lukas,

I've updated, now I can send the android application to my phone, but I'm facing another issue: https://imgur.com/EBJkG

And if I click on "Update Open Mobile Suite service", I can't update it because of an "OBEX Error: Connection request failed!".

Any idea?
[Android Apps and Games] LuHe:
Have you already updated to openmobilesuite-mobile-android 0.9.91-2ubuntu1?

If not, please install this package.

The error just says that PyOBEX could not establish an OBEX connection to your device. This could have many causes, for example that the device needs to be paired with your PC to send files.

If this does not work try to send the file

/usr/share/openmobilesuite/mobile/android/OpenMobileSuite-0.9.91.apk

with another application (bluedevil, bluetooth-sendto ...) to your phone.
[Android Apps and Games] eiric:
I had to install the package manually, maybe because it was considered as a downgrade:

Anyway, I could send the android application to my mobile. But I'm still facing the force close error when it's syncing contacts.

I will, how do I generate this kind of log?
[Android Apps and Games] LuHe:
Okay.. 0.9.91-2ubuntu1 is the right version, don't know why this is marked as a downgrade.

Damn, I hoped to have fixed these bugs now..

You need to have the adb tool, which is in the Android SDK.

If you haven't already installed the SDK it is available for download here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

Then launch the AVD Manager (execute ./tools/android) and install "Android SDK Platform-tools"

Connect your phone to the PC using a USB cable.

Then cd to platform-tools and run ./adb logcat

(If you get spammed with too much messages you might try this command: adb logcat |egrep -i "openmobilesuite|hetzenecker|AndroidRuntime|System.err" )

Afterwards start Open Mobile Suite and connect to your phone.

You should see debugging messages in the terminal (please check them for sensitive information!).

At some point there will be an exception, please copy this and the lines before it.

Thanks for testing! This feedback is really important for me! :)
[Android Apps and Games] eiric:
Hi Lukas,

Sorry for the delay, I finally did it and sent you the log by private message. Tell me if it helps! :)
[Android Apps and Games] nenobr2:
Working great w Xperia Play r800a, its the only nice bluetooth app.However i think that is better use Airdroid, since its over wifi.
[Android Apps and Games] LuHe:
Thanks! Yes, your log was really helpful. This error will be fixed in the next release.

(the necessary change can be seen here: http://series60-remote.svn.sf.net/viewvc/series60-remote/branches/work/series60-remote-dbus/mobile/android/src/com/hetzenecker/openmobilesuite/service/ContactManager.java?r1=946&r2=945)
[Android Apps and Games] LuHe:
Glad to hear that ;)

Wifi support will come with the next release (it's already implemented in SVN, if anyone is brave enough to give it a try)

The next connection method will be Google Cloud to Device Messaging Framework.

That means you can basically connect to your mobile phone from anywhere in the world over the internet (useful for e.g. ringing your phone / getting the GPS position if you've lost it; or when you've forgotten your phone at home, but want to send some text messages - which often happens to me). (before anybody starts discussing about safety concerns: it will be disabled by default)
[Android Apps and Games] eiric:
You're welcome, thanks for your fix!

I tried:

- svn co https://series60-remote.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/series60-remote series60-remote

"revision 946 extracted"

- cd ~/series60-remote/branches/work/series60-remote-dbus/mobile/android && sudo ./setup.py install

- cd ~/series60-remote/branches/work/series60-remote-dbus/pc/gui && sudo ./setup.py install

- cd ~/series60-remote/branches/work/series60-remote-dbus && sudo ./setup.py install

But I still have an ImportError:

How to install from svn properly?
[Android Apps and Games] Concrete Donkey:
I'm extremely interested so far, have there been any new updates? I hope this project doesn't disappear, it's something I've been wanting for a while now.
[Android Apps and Games] LuHe:
Fixed the error in SVN (rev955). A temporary workaround for older revisions is to run the setup.py script again.

BTW, you could install all modules by running

cd ~/series60-remote/branches/work/series60-remote-dbus/pc/ && make && sudo make install
[Android Apps and Games] LuHe:
Thanks! ;)

Yes, there are some updates:

- Working TCP server, so you can connect over Wifi (or even over the Internet)

- Windows build

I can't release a new version right now, because my main notebook is currently in service and I don't want to set up a new VM for the Windows build. The next release will be there as soon as I get my notebook back. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] eiric:
Hi Lukas,

Indeed fixed with rev 955, thanks!

I had to make a

sudo

make to install it properly and avoid some errors ("error: build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.7/openmobilesuite/gui/ui/firstrun_wizard/ui_connection_type_settings.py: Permission denied" and "ImportError: No module named ui_connection_type_settings", here's the complete log).

Then I could launch opemmobilesuite-gui, but I needed to build the mobile apk (log) but I don't how, would you please tell me?

Finally, I could detect my android phone with a bluetooth scan, but not my S60 phone althought I used the same laptop, strange isn't it?

I wish you to get back your notebook as soon as possible :)
[Android Apps and Games] LuHe:
This happens when you've run the build - either make or the setup.py - script as root before.

You can either install Eclipse and the ADT Plugin for Eclipse. This is a very userfriendly method for generating the apk file.

Or you could use the "create_package" script in the android directory. You also need to have the Android SDK installed.

Are you using the pybluez version from my PPA?
[Android Apps and Games] LuHe:
Could anybody test the Windows binary of the new release?

The download link is http://netload.in/dateivQFmCr87Kj/openmobilesuite-0.9.92.exe.htm

If it works I'll upload it so sourceforge and make the release for Ubuntu.

P.S.: Here is the (partial) Changelog for the GUI:

[Android Apps and Games] marc0012001:
Thanks :-)

Now downloading and testing...
[Android Apps and Games] eiric:
Hi Lukas,

You're probably right, is that a problem?

I'm not familiar with Eclipse, sorry I couldn't generate it without explanations.

I tried too, but the generated apk couldn't be installed, without any more explicit error message.

Anyway I've installed yesterday from your windows release. Back to linux, I had do update OMS on my pc to match versions (svn revision 985).

And now it works! Actually, it worked… because now connection etablishment stays stuck forever at 60% (debug log here: http://pastebin.com/ZAQ0YUau).

Any idea to fix it?

Yes I'm.
[Android Apps and Games] LuHe:
Open Mobile Suite 0.9.92 (1.0 Technical Preview 3) can now be downloaded from my Ubuntu PPA too.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lukas-hetzenecker/openmobilesuite
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openmobilesuite-gui
[Android Apps and Games] LuHe:
Source code and Windows binary are uploaded to https://sourceforge.net/projects/series60-remote/files/openmobilesuite/0.9.92/

Important notice for upgrades from previous versions!

The layout of the database has changed in the last release.

Automatic database updates are not supported in the Technical Previews.

Please delete your database before upgrading! (It's located in $HOME/.config/OpenMobileSuite/data.db under Linux or %APPDATA%/OpenMobileSuite/data.db under Windows)

Sorry for the inconvenience.
[Android Apps and Games] eiric:
Hi Lukas,

I updated from your PPA, but I still have the same bug (at the very first time OMS can connect to my phone, at the second connection etablishment stays stuck forever at 60%). Any idea?
[Android Apps and Games] LuHe:
Sorry for my late reply.

The PC requests a hash from all contacts of the mobile phone. This can take some time.

Please check if the service is still running on your mobile phone. The debug messages from your phone (logcat) would be important to debug this error.

Thanks,

Lukas

How about "What size should wallpaper images be?"

I suggest this because I dont know :P
[Nook Color General] wvcachi:
I didn't resize them manually, I just used an app - will update OP in a minute with that, and again later when I get the chance to research manually setting them . . .
[Nook Color General] pest789:
I don't know either, but I've had good luck with searching for 'wallpaper' on Google images with size set to 1024*1024 and then using 'set as wallpaper' from dolphin browser HD.
[Nook Color General] wvcachi:
The Galaxy Tab wallpapers I've used all look phenomenal too. Same resolution, so its tailor-made. Easy to find them with a google search.
[Nook Color General] Beejis:
For some reason changing the lcd density didn't do a damn thing through build.prob after reboot. What did I do wrong?

Edit:

And I did save it before rebooting so I'm not sure what I did wrong...
[Nook Color General] wvcachi:
@beejis - make sure you're losing the xdpi and ydpi parts and merging it into a single entry. Look closely at the example in the OP. Also, make sure you're editing the entry that isn't commented out (don't bother editing the lcddensity entry with a # in front of it) a few lines earlier. If for some reason that didn't work, then use the free app from the market to change it.

@k8108 - if you're using Root Explorer, it's a little button up top when you're navigating system/, which lets you toggle mounting system as 'read-write' and 'read-only.'
[Nook Color General] ThrowingKs:
Comment out these lines (add # to beginning):

# ro.sf.lcd_density.xdpi=169.3333

# ro.sf.lcd_density.ydpi=169.3333

Add this line:

ro.sf.lcd_density=254

I already had a line similar that I uncommented, and I run mine at 254.

169.3333 / 2 = 84.6666

169.3333 + 84.6666 = 254

I am probably overthinking it, but it looks good. You can make that number 250 if you want.

The Program LCD Density lets you select specific densities as well, but is only soft. Nice for testing.
[Nook Color General] ThrowingKs:
http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_Making_system_partition_Read-Write

From adb shell, run this code:

mount -o rw,remount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
[Nook Color General] wvcachi:
...I got the impression he was using Root Explorer, in which case it's a little button that says r-w.
[Nook Color General] foethalove:
I have used the free market app to change the lcd density and it makes most of the interface fantastic except for a couple things. As noted the status bar doe mess up but that I am not worried about but the screen density change to, 250 in my case, really screws up the formating of my nook library and shop. I use them quite a lot to read newspapers and such so if anyone else has this experience let me know how/if you deal with it.
[Nook Color General] wvcachi:
Good point - I'll note that in the OP. I don't use the B&N stuff, so it's easy for me to forget that not everyone on xda is in the same boat.
[Nook Color General] cgtombstone:
Where does the SlideIT.apk go after you install it from the market? I can't put it in the system/app folder because i can't find it. Any ideas?

NookColor+ XDA 4 ever
[Nook Color General] wvcachi:
Look in data/app, and find the file named com.dasur.slideit.apk. Copy/paste that into system/app (hit r-w first of course), then reboot and switch keyboards via NookColorTools.
[Nook Color General] cgtombstone:
My bad I was searching for it in root explorer and I gues the search function was skipping the data folder for some reason ( or I'm missing something). Thanks anyway.

[Nook Color General] swapdotavi:
Ah perfect did not see your update. I see you found Set and Save, but you mentioned you might update with exact size instructions later. I actually went and did a bit of research, so maybe I can save you some time :)

To get an perfect wallpaper using 5 screens, like in ADW:

- Get an image that is at least 1200x1024

- Crop (dont scale) it to 1200x1024. A really easily way to do this is open the file in Photoshop, copy the entire image, then create a new file that's exactly 1200x1024. Then just paste the image and use the arrow to drag it around to whatever looks best to you.

- Save the file as a .png

- Get it on to your nook. (SD card transfer, email and download, whatever)

- Open Wallpaper Set & Save

- Point it towards the folder you have your wallpapers in

- Select the wallpaper you want

- Hit apply

Bam. Perfect wallpaper, no stretching, no compression. Looks great! I'll post screens later today if I remember :)

I used a 1920x1200 wallpaper I had on my PC, cropped it, emailed it to myself, then used Set & Save to place my wallpaper. It's really crisp.

edit: And thanks for the lock screen information! Going to do that tonight; sick of the stock screen :P
[Nook Color General] fprice02:
MOD, can we get this stickied? Lots of good info!
[Nook Color General] wvcachi:
Thanks for the tip - updated OP with a paraphrased version of your instructions.
[Nook Color General] swapdotavi:
Cool :) Glad to give a bit back to a community that has helped me so much.

edit: Just keep in mind that if you change the number of screens on either side (IIRC launcher pro uses 3. Stock does for sure) you also need to adjust the resolution of the image to fit the new space. 1200x1024 works for 5 screens, like ADW uses.
[Nook Color General] PHiZ:
I don't have it in front of me, but I think that 116 should be 114. Also, you need to do this to another file called something like OMAPxxxxxxx.kl.

See: http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_Remap_volume_buttons_for_back_and_menu
[Nook Color General] wvcachi:
Good catch - it turns out 116 is for power . . . OP updated.

I only edited the file that I mentioned in the OP and it works fine. The omap file still reads volume keys, but it did what I wanted nonetheless.
[Nook Color General] PhantomHacker:
Thanks for the new tips.

[Nook Color General] Paul22000:
In # 3, "set the system as r-w" -- what the heck does that mean?

Any chance someone might be willing to explain? :)
[Nook Color General] wvcachi:
Mount it as read-write, instead of read-only, meaning you can copy and edit files there.

If you're using a mobile file browser, it's probably a simple toggle (in Root Explorer, which I had in mind when writing these instructions, it's a little button that says r-w when you're browsing system/).

If you're using adb, use the following:

adb shell

mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system

Posted this in another thread, but figured I should post here too:

Can you add books to your Home screens from the Library if you install a different Home screen (like LauncherPro)?
[Nook Color General] ColdH33t:
It's not really necessary or really fully finished but I made a really simple Python Script to auto crop wallpapers that are 1280 by 1024.

Uses PIL: pythonware.com/products/pil/index.htm

I'm not sure how to go about other resolutions b/c it would require user input at some point as far as I know without forcing the crop box to start at a predefined location.

dl.dropbox.com/u/1265704/crop.py

Yes I'm aware there are programs which would do this and such but I just like using Python to do stuff instead of another downloaded program :cool:

[Nook Color General] LordDavon:
Now that I have all of the utilities that I needed (without needing to type busybox in front of all of them), I wanted to SSH into my NookColor. I like using Putty when I am working on a device since it provides me with a larger interface, allows the arrow keys to work, tab completion, works well with vi, I don't need the NookColor attached to my computer, etc.

I guess I need to research more and see if anyone else has already done this. If they have, I apologize. I am just trying to help, haven't researched as much as I should have, am loving this little thing and may be a bit over zealous with things. I just got it and am having lots of fun and am posting this because I want to help others who may be trying to do the same things I am.

I am not sure what everyone else has done but, here is what I did.

I downloaded dropbear.zip from the following thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=442754&page=10

I extracted it into my Android SDK Tools folder. I then ran the following commands to make my /system folder writable:

adb shell

mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system

exit

I then ran the following to push the files over:

adb push dropbear /system/bin/dropbear

adb push dropbearkey /system/bin/dropbearkey

After that, I got back on the device and ran the following:

mkdir /system/etc/dropbear

chmod 755 /system/bin/dropbear

chmod 755 /system/bin/dropbearkey

dropbearkey -t rsa -f /system/etc/dropbear/dropbear_rsa_host_key

dropbearkey -t dss -f /system/etc/dropbear/dropbear_dss_host_key

To start the server, I ran following command:

dropbear -A -N root -U 0 -G 0 -C test

You can now connect via wifi to your NookColor as root. The "-C test" in the above command is the password used for login. I used "test" for the password to test.

The SSH server will not restart when you reboot the NookColor but, I will update this when I figure that out.

If you want to shutdown the SSH server, just run `killall dropbear` or reboot the NookColor.

Anyway, it is very late so, I will probably look at all of this tomorrow, shake my head and realize that I did things really poorly tonight. Again, I apologize if this has all been done before.

Here is where I found out most of this information:

[Nook Color General] MattZTexasu:
Auto-nooter puts busybox in /system/xbin. It's the only thing in there. I solved the linking problem by creating the links in this same directory.

execute this from adb shell or from a terminal on the device itself.

/system/xbin/busybox --install -s /system/xbin

Then I tack this directory to the end of path:

export PATH=$PATH:/system/xbin

That way, the busybox functions will only be invoked if equivalent doesn't exist. So, if you want a full implementation of wget, just put it in the /system/bin directory which is before the xbin in the path, and it'll use that one instead of busybox.
