Any other links for ubuntu.zip on a faster fileshare service than the one's in the www.androlinux.com guide?

It says 2 hours to download :O

I'll rehost it myself when it eventually finishes but if anyone has another link before then then please post it.
[GT540 Optimus General] TacoLoco:
works for me, now I connect via TightVNC from Windows 7 and see greay screen with "X" as mouse pointer.. Also I'm connected via SSH with PuTTY.. I don't know much about Linux but I typed startx and it does something, I hope it will show desktop ;)

Edit:

It says "Fatal server error: no screens found".. What should I do??

Edit2:

got it typed "gnome-session &" (I love you google :D) and it seems to load gnome (at this time only Background Image).. Crossing fingers :cool:

Edit3:

Now grey bars at top and bottom, maybe it hangs, but hopefully it just starts slowly..

Edit4:

should it take so long??

Edit5:

yep it takes that long, desktop is build very slowly but this is still some crazy ass **** :D btw. enough edits for now ;)

My desktop was created in few seconds. But I was working with some old and modified Ubuntu version.

I was working with this instructions: http://nexusonehacks.net/nexus-one-hacks/how-to-install-ubuntu-on-your-nexus-oneandroid/ on 2.2 android version.

I hope this would help you (sorry because my bad English).

[Windows Phone 7 General] ameel:
After seeing this video here, I feel pretty outraged, not at the guy, but at Microsoft.

So, here goes nothing:

1.would you really believe today Microsoft has such weak security for apps marketplace, I mean comeon just https would have been nice?

2.would you really believe today Microsoft knowing all these holes and weaknesses has not done anything so far?

3.I think it's very obvious that WP7 hasn't been as successfully commercial so far as Microsoft would have hoped (comeon, I think AT&T was giving away a free WP7 phone when you purchase 1, I doubt you can get any more desperate than that). That coupled with an incomplete OS in many way that leaves consumers lacking.

3 very simple things, but one BIG conclusion: Microsoft is most likely using a deadly tactic to win consumer sales: let a few people around the net fiddle with WP7, WP7 marketplace, make it not too hard for them to get through and access files and pirate them. What's the result? The community have access to pirate apps? No, MORE THAN THAT people see it as an incentive to shift and join the WP7 piracy waggon. If it's that easy to get those quality paid apps and games for free, maybe we should all move to WP7, yah?

It is clear that Microsoft has quite commanding agreements with several top phone manufacturers htc, samsung, etc, but the reality is most likely that these manufacturers would rather tell Microsoft to stop bossing, particularly if their WP7 phones barely any sales.

So, end Microsoft gets desperate, manufactures get desperate, carriers get desperate. Carriers have no power at all. Manufacturers have limited power since their hardware has to stick to what Microsoft required. Hence, only Microsoft can do anything about it.

I'm just guessing, but I believe it goes way beyond mere tactic for fighting marketing and sales failure. I believe it was a pre-emptive or contingency plan from Microsoft all along. Make sure everything is hackable to a certain extent so people can just join easily, with the announced January updates as an option to close the holes and tighten the security if they are satisfied or people get too suspicious.

Either way, it just seems too dodgy that Microsoft has produced such poor security and has not done anything about it at all. Put 1 and 1 together, and you get the big picture.

I might just be crazy, but well, that's what I think..
[Windows Phone 7 General] comeradealexi:
Oh please. what a stupid stupid theory. you've wasted your time writing this and my time reading it! windows mobile was like fully hackable and was that a really popular phone OS?
[Windows Phone 7 General] ameel:
I never used Windows Mobile, but come on, Windows Phone 7 seems so easy compared to other OS out there, in terms of effort required... -.- Besides, it doesn't look like Microsoft has done anything so far has it? Given how silly and simple to fix some of the basic problems are and how easy it would be for them to implement why have they done nothing, huh?
[Windows Phone 7 General] vbetts:
All of the OSes have security flaws. That's why there's root and jailbreaking. Plus, hackulous is pretty well known on iPhone but there's been nothing done about that for a long time now. It's not a conspiracy at all, it's just a flaw in the security like every other os has.

Would you believe that AT&T was also giving away a free Captivate when you buy one? Or Verizon giving away any Droid phone free with an equal or lesser priced droid? Tmobile does the same with almost all of their phones, no matter the platform. It's called a deal.

Well people sure have joined the Iphone and Hackulous bandwagon haven't they? Well actually, no not really. Hackulous is a big issue in Ios, but not big enough for the average person to know about. Plus we have this site, which is Windows mobile and Android based completely. Another proof that people aren't going on any band wagon.

The OS is still new, and has only been on 2 carriers in the US. Plus, it's not like when Android came out where your only real competition is the Iphone, and a couple of other smart phones. Now it's down to competition from other Android phones, to phone features, to OS even. The hardware manufactures are taking this seriously too. If they weren't, then why does HTC already have 5 Windows 7 phone devices out?

Carriers have no power? Are you joking? Microsoft doesn't have any power over the carriers. When they did, the Kin didn't sell too well and eventually stopped service completely! After a couple of months! You want someone who has complete control over the carrier, look at the Iphone. The Iphone doesn't even have an AT&T logo on it, that's how much Apple is in control of AT&T. Hell, the first Iphone you had to buy at full price. AT&T finally demanded that they sell at a contract price. As for limited powers, 3 buttons and a 1 ghz cpu requirement. Yup, that's a huge limitation considering we have multiple ARM platforms that run at 1 ghz, and it's too hard to just have 3 buttons isn't it?

Oh please, there is no plot for piracy from Microsoft. Bottom line is, it wouldn't be a Microsoft OS if it couldn't be hacked.

So your logic, it's simple to use so it's simple to hack? That's not how it works, the security of an os isn't based on the UI. The phone was made to be easy to navigate through features. Not navigate through file systems.
[Windows Phone 7 General] truffle1234:
so u have not used WM.... great, DO HAVE A WP7 device???
[Windows Phone 7 General] comeradealexi:
i'm sure there will be a fix for any known problems in the next update! it takes time - cant believe your actually trying to defend yourself! its not a conspiracy get over it.

the moon landing was REAL btw incase you had any conspiracy theores about that too.
[Windows Phone 7 General] GenkaiMade:
Wahay! Someone knows what they're talking about ^__^ OP is a total moron, end of thread.
[Windows Phone 7 General] emigrating:
You do realize that WP7 has outperformed both iPhone and Android launches in terms of hardware sales and apps available in the marketplace, right?

As for the security breach - it makes no difference as you still need an unlocked phone to load these apps onto.. Something most people do not have, and the ones that have used Chevron keep having to re-unlock their phones every time they sync it with Zune (or put the phone into airplane mode). Until there is a permanent unlock available it doesn't matter how insecure the marketplace is.

Also, pirated iPhone apps have been floating around the net for years now - most people still purchase the apps. There just isn't any point in pirating an app that costs a buck, especially when it's 10 times faster and easier just buying it thru the marketplace than it is to download a cracked version, unlocking your phone and sideloading said app.
[Windows Phone 7 General] JamesAllen:
What the.....?

Have we actually run out of worthwhile topics in this forum? This one is very funny. I respect your right to have an opinion, but certainly can't respect that opinion.
[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
They're running out of things to bash about the OS... Lol... As for the topic, no, I don't agree with a single word you said... It's impossible to make a completely secure OS, and Microsoft can't push out updates every four days to ensure everything gets patched instantly...
[Windows Phone 7 General] kennyken747:
Wow this made me laugh pretty hard. You must be new to the smartphone arena if you think that virtually every other platform besides iOS hasn't had buy one, get one free or similar sales for devices.

And you must be a very deranged person to think Microsoft purposefully has security flaws, something that every OS has, desktop AND mobile.

Waste of time. I wish I was a mod so I could edit your post with "No one read this."
[Windows Phone 7 General] ameel:
Haha, love the replies :P

But seriously chill guys. I was just bored, and decided to write some crap, dnt take it too seriously leh
[Windows Phone 7 General] Yakkaimono:
It's pretty simple actually.

piracy so early after the initial OS release > more and more developers jump off the platform > no quality apps > no apps to pirate

So on the long run MS would kill their own OS with such a dicision and no software company is that dumb.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
mod, please close thread. Op states he was just "joking".

Sent from my HD7 using Board Express
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
wow... this has really worked out for the iOS and Android community hasn't it?

the more security flaws get unearthed, the more the creators can make it better. The platform has been out for only a couple of months... if you think about the task required to change over to the recommended https instead, it requires both server and client side updates... but even then, that isn't the root of the problem, the root of the problem is in the XAP, so a change in that would still require an update to server, client, and dev machine...

anyways, as said above... "joking" = close.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Yakkaimono:
I believe the WP7 community is a bit different atm than the other communities were when they started out. So I think my "theory" has a bit of sense behind it.

But anyway lets just forget this and close this thread!
[Windows Phone 7 General] pillsburydoughman:
wow that's a terrible theory. Companies that make 20+billion dollars in profit come up with simpler solutions to their problems. Like discontinue an entire product line!

Sorry to say but not very bright with the conspiracy theory. If you really want a conspiracy theory try this. Why would microsoft release a almost complete os to the public? Free beta testing my friend. You release an incomplete os and you have microsoft fanboys, elitests, and others reporting bugs, optimizing applications, sharing ideas to improve the os, and reporting various bugs that exist, all for free. Real world testing for free. But anyways this is really a waste of time thread. Please put more time and effort into posting threads.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] itenos:
Hi Ragin, I have a suggestion and request at the same time for you:

Probably the easiest way for your Indian fellows to use and try out any kind of ROM is to do a backup of their APNs while they are still on stock Rom with the following program available for free in the market:

http://www.appbrain.com/app/apn-backup-restore/com.riteshsahu.APNBackupRestore

After having flashed the ROM of their choice they can simply restore the APN settings through the same program and they are immediately online again.

Now my request: as I will travel to India very soon I would like you to backup your APN settings for me with this program and either post the xml file here in reply or PM it to me.

Thanks a lot and cheers from Bali
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ragin:
Yes, I am aware of that. I myself did that till today. This ROM is meant for those who want to stick to STOCK roms without any modifications, as the present 2.2.1 ROMs are quite fast & lagfree. And still have the benefit of having their regional MODEM & CSC because of vast number of mobile providers in India.

Those who are using XXJPY stock rom in India can actually try using this ROM & give a feed back about battery use.

Here is my backup of APNs http://www.mediafire.com/?93uexsdw1ywodwf

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fulcrum1971:
Tried flashing it two or three times but couldnt. Couldnt flash stock 2.2. Had to flash stock 2.1 to recover it and update to 2.2 through kies. Tried the battery pull out thing too. In one case it got stuck in clockwork recovery and two times it said something like cant mount e........ May be i messed something up.Tried it on both stock 2.1 and 2.2.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ragin:
I think you got it all wrong, because of that mount e error, you first need to flash a STOCK 2.1 ROM if you are on a 2.2 ROM. Then go into download & flash this 2.2.1 over it. If you are already on stock 2.1, you can flash this ROM directly over it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seltaeb:
Qs

Just out of curiosity, how is this useful? What localization benefits do we get?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ragin:
I was on Darky's & here's what I did. Fired up Odin3 1.7, selected 512 pit, it automatically selects the re-partition for you, put the phone in download mode, connected it to my computer, waited till the com # showed up in Odin, pressed Start. It flashed & showed Pass in green & pulled battery. Fired up Odin again, flashed stock DDJP4. Fired up Odin again, No Pit, Select XXJPY PDA, MODEM & CSC, put my phone in download mode again, connected, & pressed Start when it showed up in Odin. It boots up & I am in XXJPY.

The localization benifits are better wifi, better 2G 3G & better integration with Service Provider's. PDA is universal whereas MODEM & CSC are region specific.
[HD2 General] itsjoshy:
Hi, i have a problem with my HD2 in which the screen has completely stopped responding, it wasnt damaged in any way it just suddenly happened. Anyways i sent it off for repair to HTC, thinking since it was still under warrentee the problem would be fixed. However what i didnt realise is that i hadn't flashed my custom rom off it, and so i was caught breaking the warrentee, meaning that the repair would aparently cost £180, which is rediculous. I asked for them to return it but now im left wondering what i should do as i simply dont have that much money. If anyone can give me any advice at all it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance (:
[HD2 General] ezee_gee:
unfortunatley thats the going rate for repairing the digitizer problem (HTC repair factory or independant repairer). HTC will probably charge you £20 to send it back to you. You then can flash stock rom and send it back for repair under warranty. It may work if they havent documented on the system that your S/N warranty is voided :/

Its worth a try to do that... if it doesnt work then try find a way to raise the £180 :(

Worked for me. The hardest part is changing the time, date and ticker text to white since the only way I found is through manual means.

/system/framework/lge-res.apk contains the control bar, however if you want other color to control bar you'll have to hex edit lge_status_bar_expended.xml (in layout directory) search d0 d0 d0 and replace these with what colour you like.

Hi all !

I have bought a branded HTC Desire HD and I wanted to :

- unlock SIM

- change rom with unbranded one

I have used "[TOOL][VIDEO] One click Radio S-OFF, SimUnlock (Easy Root Guide)" and setup an unbranded ROM

But now I can't register on any network (according to the SIM I have inserted) but when it's start it asks me my PIN.

Another thing is when I do manual network search I can find network, but never the good one according to my sim.

I have tried to update the radio and change the ROM (Cyanogen included) but nothing works. I have tried 3 sims with differents providers and none can catch the good network.

Does anyone has an idea to solve my problem ?

Thanks !!!

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hummelchen:
Seems that your system partition is broken.

You could try to S-off your phone and erase your partitions manually:

-fastboot erase cache

-fastboot erase system

-fastboot erase boot

After that try to flash a RUU during fastboot or the EXE-Way :)

Fastboot:

Extract the rom.zip from ruu or download a PB99IMG.zip and flash it:

-fastboot flash zip Rom.zip

Maybe it helps
