[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deviant Ollam:
this is utterly annoying. some of us just want or need to grab the ADB executable for a brief moment, often while working on someone else's phone and on someone else's computer.

i for one don't WANT to install the whole huge SDK, run it, create all those extra steps and dirs, etc... just to grab one goddamn executable that is a few megs in size. is there NO repository anywhere for JUST new versions of ADB.exe ??

it's like Android devs started saying to one another "oh my, it seems that the hoi polloi masses are finding ways to hack and mod their android devices, but this sort of thing should really be the prerogative of us learned few... let's make ADB harder to get!"

i mean, what other purpose does it serve to remove ADB.exe from the standard SDK that you can just extract and then throw away?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adolflow:
Did you ever find the latest ADB.exe?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeCrys:
ABS.exe is C:\Users\*****\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tin_Man_0:
I can't believe this is the top search result for adb.exe and it's taken this long to get to a simple answer. Most of us really don't want a full studio install just to have to download some more platform tools to get to an tiny little exe file. I'm surprised google didn't just say "here, take your damn adb.exe file download and stop hogging all my bandwidth for nothing"..... well it turns out they did, you just had to look a little harder.

Hey, i know there is another thread similar to this, but it went a bit dead and the results werent really what i was looking for, i have much simpler needs than what is specified in the other thread so i hoped somebody could quickly point me in the right direction then thread can be closed.

Is there currently a STOCK desire HD build available in the NAND section of development which is a complete NAND install (ie, no data.img on sd or EXT on sd, my tmous can handle it really (please don't give me opinions on whether it will work or not, i'd prefer to just try tyvm:)) i want EVERYTHING stored in NAND). but it really must be stock, i dont care too much for all the themes and stuff, i think htc has the look i really want.

Thanks in advance, sorry if its a covered question, but i couldnt find anything.

take it easy

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lythandra:
Picked up a Patriot 16 GB card (class 4) and while I know its a class 4, it seems the transfer speeds are fairly slow. Unfortunately I'm in XP so its not telling me what the transfer speed is.

I first put the card in the N1 and let it format it. I then tried to bring over all the data on my old card and it was super slow (like 50kb a sec-was at home and Vista so it told me). Now I'm at work and this time it brought over all my old data more quickly but it still seems slowish (Gonna copy over a couple GB of music today).

Do they just have this slow transfer speeds? Its cool if thats the way it is, I don't mess with SDCards so don't have any experience with them.

Right now I'm bringing over a little over 500 MBs and it looks like its gonna be 30 mins for it to do it at least. The mins remaining is all over the place.

Also, the phone formatted the card in fat32.

I tried the SD Card Formatter download I've seen mentioned on here but it wouldn't install for me on my computer.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prettyboy85712:
Use an sdcard reader. It will be much faster to transfer data.

[Streak 5 Android Development] domin8:
hey guys, my streak is coming today and ive been reading on how to get it on 1.5.3.

i'm coming from the captivate forums and using clockwork over there, so i'm curious as to which is preferred here? i saw on here that he uses streakmod:

http://streakdroid.com/?page_id=122

is there a benefit to flashing with one or the other? If clockwork is better, do i just drop the clockwork's recovery.img in the QDL tool directory instead?

thanks in advance
[Streak 5 Android Development] Radimus:
the streakmod is just a tweaked interface on top of clockwork's workings.

Only a cosmetic difference
[Streak 5 Android Development] fone_fanatic:
you sure its only a cosmetic difference?

with clockworkdmod it keeps looking for a directore printing out an error. Also i remember i couldn't get clockwork to do a nandroid backup on 2.1 and/or 2.2...

Also mount SD card never worked for me on clockwork

everything works fine on streakmod and thats what i'm running now.

Just curious what does squashing mean. I see many ROM which were squashed or used squashFS. Though I haven't tried NAND ROMS myself...primarily because i'm too lazy and the MDJ DHD froyo 4.6 rom has been running perfectly for me...but I will try one day.

Wikipedia states its some kind of compression algorithm. Are there any disadvantages to it?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Mafioso:
no-one???? :O
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] miharkula:
Non US version of the HD2 has only 512 meg of total ram. "Sense" roms take 200-250 meg (vs a stock froyo rom able to come in under 100 meg). I don't know much about squashfs but it's being used on "sense" roms to leave more room for data space.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] despy1989:
Squashfs is a compressed read-only filesystem for Linux. Squashfs is intended for general read-only filesystem use, for archival use (i.e. in cases where a .tar.gz file may be used), and in constrained block device/memory systems (e.g. embedded systems) where low overhead is needed.

Just googled it !!!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Mafioso:
^^yes, i had also gotten similar info from google. But are there any disadvantages to it? Because many people in this forum take it to be -ve?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] shadiku:
Well, it's read-only.. :confused:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] yllivia:
When creating tiny-sized and embedded Linux systems, every byte of the storage device (floppy, flash disk, etc.) is very important, so compression is used everywhere possible. Also, compressed file systems are frequently needed for archiving purposes. For huge public archives, as well as for personal media archives, this is essential.

SquashFS brings all this to a new level. It is a read-only file system that lets you compress whole file systems or single directories, write them to other devices/partitions or to ordinary files, and then mount them directly (if a device) or using a loopback device (if it is a file). The modular, compact system design of SquashFS is bliss. For archiving purposes, SquashFS gives you a lot more flexibility and performance speed than a tarball archive.

SquashFS is distributed as a Linux kernel source patch (which enables SquashFS read support in your kernel), the mksquashfs tool, which creates squashed file systems (in a file or on a block device) and the unsquashfs tool, which extracts multiple files from an existing squashed file system.

The latest SquashFS release tree is 3.x, the former one was 2.x.

You can read more here http://tldp.org/HOWTO/SquashFS-HOWTO/whatis.html
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Mafioso:
^^Seems its a good thing...wonder why people hate it? is it because of read only nature? you aren't going to be writing over system files anyway :confused:

[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] johnny crap:
Hello,

I want a new MicroSd HC Card for my Hero.

After doing some research on the internet, I am confused...

Some people say, that it is senseless to buy an expensive class 6 or 8 card for the phone, because it can not handle the extra speed a card with a higher class has.

Currently I own a Toshiba Class 6 8gb Card,

but this one has not enough space.

I thought about buying 16 or 32gb.

Do you have any recommends for me?
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] takuhii:
I have a class 4 16GB SDHC card for my Hero (it's a sandisk one for a reputable retailer, NOT eBay). when I perform speed tests on it, it says it is a class 2, which is the exact same class as the 8GB SD card it replaced.

Some class 4's can perform better than a class 6, it seems to be luck of the draw. Apparently the CLASS refers to the read speed I believe, Class 2 minimum 2MB/s. I've probably got that totally a*se about face...

I am told the hero can handle 32gb cards, only reason I bought a 16GB was because the Hero was replacing a 16GB iPhone 3GS. I've had no problems whatsoever with it. Another user (on the forum) has loads of issues with lag from his 16GB SDHC card. No reason whatsoever. Just seems to be hit and miss.

I WOULDN'T BUY A SD CARD FROM eBAY THOUGH!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] Janzomaster:
I got a 16gb sdhc class 6 from adata - have been using it nearly from day one, can't say I noticed a change in performance from the 2gb card that came with the Hero.
[Nexus S Android Development] stroughtonsmith:
Ok, so following on from the MeeGo thread, I have Ubuntu booting on the Nexus S using the same method and same kernel.

The Ubuntu image used is the HD2 Ubuntu image (v 0.3), loaded from a file on the internal memory (again, no flashing required - you can thank me later).

The touchscreen isn't yet working, but that's my kernel at fault. Will fix that with the MeeGo stuff.

If you want to try this yourself, first grab yourself a copy of Ubuntu for HD2, and take just the rootfs.ext2 file and drag it to your Nexus S (put it in a folder called 'ubuntu' - lowercase is important!).

Then use fastboot to boot the following image (or flash it to recovery partition if you're daring and know how dangerous that can be):

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8657343/bootUbuntu.img

You will need to do one minor edit once the device is booted; you will see the screen output is very weird; ADB push the following file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and then reboot Ubuntu:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8657343/xorg.conf

[Nexus S Android Development] stroughtonsmith:
In theory the same stuff should work; I don't have a Galaxy S to test on or I'd try it. I don't know anything about the Galaxy S' bootloader, or how much the kernel would differ (I'm guessing not at all, since this is a stock Samsung kernel from the Android kernel source)

[Nexus S Android Development] JDouce:
would it be possible to make an app that re-boots into fastboot and runs the fastboot command. since we dont always have a comp available to run fasboot which makes this useless if your not at home, or have a laptop (in which case you dont need ubuntu on a phone)

It blocks on X screen of my nexus one.. before the classic bootanimation.zip

Someone have any idea about that ? :(
[Nexus S Android Development] Tyruiop:
Ok, so I've got wifi working :). Here is my solution. A little bit crappy but... hey... it's a start ! Also, I tried compiling the kernel with the module built in and it wont boot, and I don't know why ?

Howto get wifi :

1) Boot Ubuntu following stroughtonsmith indications

2) Download http://tyruiop.org/~tyruiop/wifi_nexuss_ubuntu.tar.bz2

3) push the vendor directory at the root. The path must remain (/vendor/firmware etc...) and the bcm4329.ko file wherever you want.

4) reboot under ubuntu

5) *optional, only if ifconfig -a doesn't show eth0* type insmod /path/to/bcm4329.ko

6) Type "ifconfig -a". An eth0 interface should appear. It's wireless. You can configure it with wpa_supplicant without a problem :).
[Nexus S Android Development] diego.stamigni:
Uhm.. with Nexus One, Ubuntu blocks on X SCREEN (before the classic bootanimation).. Maybe something that I do is wrong ?

- Download HD2 Ubuntu

- mkdir ubuntu/

- put in ubuntu/ the fs on the archive I downloader

- put ubuntu/ in the SDCARD

- adb reboot bootloader

- fastboot boot bootUbuntu.img

Is it correct ?
[Nexus S Android Development] Tyruiop:
Yes. But the bootUbuntu.img is made for the Nexus S, not for the Nexus One.

1° ) They haven't the same processors. You should recompile a kernel using the sources for the Nexus One

2° ) They haven't the same pagination I think, so be carefull when building the boot image
[Nexus S Android Development] diego.stamigni:
What's the different between boot.img that I compile, for example, with the default .config of my Nexus One, from the CyanogenMod Kernel and a bootUbuntu.img?

I mean, there are any particulars options that I've to activate ?
[Nexus S Android Development] stroughtonsmith:
The boot.img contains the kernel for the Nexus S; it will not work in any way if you try it with the Nexus One.

You need to create your own boot.img for the Nexus One using the Nexus One or CM kernel tree with CONFIG_VT enabled, and modify the ramdisk in the boot.img accordingly (mount the right nodes, etc).
[Nexus S Android Development] Tyruiop:
stroughtonsmith : do you have any idea on how to make X works with the mxt244 touchscreen ? Afaik, the problem does not come from the kernel but from Xorg's touchscreen driver. Any idea ?
[Nexus S Android Development] r0adki111:
Anxious to see the touchscreen working :)
[Nexus S Android Development] Slashedice:
I am also really interested in this once the touchscreen driver is sorted out. Hopefully soon :D
