[BETA 0.5.2 - 8/3] My Android Manager - Complete phone management

My Android Manager 0.5.1
Exsiting users: Please upgrade by downloading http://myandroidmanager.com/app/MAM.exe
New Users: Please download full installation http://myandroidmanager.com/app/mam.msi
Public Beta Available : http://www.myandroidmanager.com/app/mam.msi
Note: There will be issues for tis build so if you want a perfectly stable application, just wait.
Follow my twitter and you might find sneak leaks =)
To those that have been following and installing:
I am still working on an update system people... Bear with me. It will most likely not come until we are out of beta
What it is:
An application meant to automate all of your phone management needs through the use of ADB. If you are are more comfortable with typing out every command and don't need a easier and quicker way to accomplish it, you dont need this app. It's basically a visual adb commander. Instructions will not come until we are on a stable build. If you have not installed the drivers for your phone correctly, this application will not work. Please search the forum for tips on getting your phone recognized. In the early stages, this program will work best if you have already configured adb and have used it. It is recommended that you move adb.exe to windows/system32 in order to execute adb from any directory. Also, be sure to run this program as administrator!! There will be bugs until version hits 1.0 In later stages the application will be integrated with xda to bring you the latest ROMS to make flashing a click of a button.
Beta Process:
The newest versions will always be released to a small test group to test the efficency before being fully released. This ensures that everyone gets a stable and working application. While it sounds like it has its advantages, I do ask that you fully test and take note of changes in your system when bugs do occur. A great beta tester tries to look for errors to make it easier on the developer when tracing the root of the problem. A great beta tester, and a develpers friend =), doesn't just say a certain feature isn't working. THose who are still interested, contact me whichever way you prefer

if you can just make a program for
- Format sd card fat32/ext2/3
i will love you!
Other than that, this sounds really cool and would be very useful! Good luck on it and hope to see it soon especialy with the daily Rom updates hahahaha

i agree

this should all be possible but most likely using the sdsplit method. I will do some testing on some spare sd cards I have

that would be cool. I guess you can make an adb bat script to download and install the sdplit.sh and then run it. That would be possible
EDIT: You should also add a nandroid backup and restore option. There is already a GUI for it but if you integrate it with your program i would use it constantly!

Id say add the linux-swap creation too. Cause it seems to be the future in how we all partition it now. Side request tho, FTP backup/restore option, I know since Im between home and work, I upload everything to my FTP. Now that would be nice to have something automate that work for me so I always have it safe and can access it anywhere.

Thanks for the ideas guys. I plan on implementing them

Added nandroid backup/restore to feature list.
ADB check/install is currently coded and working
Edit: All Done! System enviroment variables will be changed when ADB installed. Note: This will not correct the error of the driver being incorrectly installed. This happens when you dont enable debugging on your android phone and plug it up for the first time.
To fix this, you must delete some registry settings in order for adb to be recognized correctly.

This app will be made of pure win! I can't wait to see it! I know I'm new around here but I will do what I can to help this community as it has also helped me quite a bit with many different phones.
If only we could get this application completed, and a Hero ROM for the Dream, I'm pretty sure I'd drop a nut right here in this thread lol!

New screenshot added and FTP upload/download feature will be added to the list.

Speaking of the FTP, It might be a good idea to allow "Sync with FTP" so this way if your at work, vola it syncs with that folder kinda like a imap server. =)

Must admit, I am very impressed ^_^ Wish I could code as my previous job had positions open for it but its something that doesn't appeal to me, yet I have nothing but great admiration to those who can.
Keep up the good work ^_^

Great idea! Will work it into the project feature list.

This looks like such an awesome program! Good luck!

a suggestion, contact aTrackdog, maybe you can run ties with each other. Since they have good version monitoring, info etc this could tie in possibly. Just a thought. =)

You mean tie this in with android software updates? Def. a possibility. It would make it an all-around android windows application for the Dream..
Tomorrow I will begin android backups and ftp syncing... The hardest will be handling the formatting of SD cards. I have some code (besides sdsplit) that may allow this. I have plenty of backup sd's to test this on

Ok this just looks soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo amazing. I cannot wait to test this out . Good job on this. I have a question though, how does it know when there will be a new version and how would it get the changelog?

a very tricky method and a lot of code that stratefically looks through the XDA web site for changes in the original thread. The installed program will connect to an online database upon startup that checks for updates but the process that actually does the scanning will be on my pc. The application will be replicating the database server. It knows what the old changelog was so any new text will be added to the changelog.
It's a tricky procedure but its been working VERY well in my tests. Of course this wont account for new ROMS that are added so I will have to check periodically for new ROMS. The app will still allow you to flash a ROM you download.
Hopefully once it's up and running, the dev's will get involved. I can give them an app to update the information the application is pulling in. It would be a win win for devs as they can track amount of downloads..

Dude this is going to be soo sick can't wait hopefully every dev will use it

something else that could be implemented into this is a prompt or warning advisory that goes alongside each rom. like if it's a hero rom, it prompts you to make sure you have the correct spl, radio, and whatnot installed first. and if you don't have one installed, it will install the necessary things for you prior to installing the rom so that it will help prevent a brick or something.
yeah... something like that....

THIS IS AN ALHPA! Make sure you know what you are doing before flashing because there are a few things you need to do for things to work!
Thanks:
Thanks for cvpcs for publicly posting his source, which I compiled from.
Thanks slayher for his vendor setup, for a huge amount of help building my original AOSP build(I decided to switch to building from cvpcs' afterwards), and for the USB fix.
Thanks blackdroid for the idea to fix the sound.
Thanks to Speels for providing me a server to host this ROM on, and his unending moral support
Thanks to Jackson Barber for testing this.
Thanks to Justin Rogers, for giving the the DX proprietaries.
Thanks to Jrummy16 for helping me with some unlisted things
Thanks everyone for the constant support when this starting driving me INSANE
Thanks tanknspank for reading this over
Thanks to my girlfriend for letting me work on this and not getting angry(LOL)
Current bugs:
Phone reboots when you press the sleep/wake button
Video camera crashes
Accelerometer doesn't work
Not sure about others...
Please report any bugs to [email protected]
Features:
From source AOSP ROM
Extra mods in the settings
Zero Motoblur.
Rotary lock screen(Kinda defeats the purpose at the moment haha)
Lock screen music controls(Again defeats the purpose at the moment )
Built in USB tethering
Eliot Stocker's MusicMod
Cytown phone
More to come...
Pre-install steps:
If you would like USB to work, and to have the ability to pull the battery and always reboot into recovery(as long as you don't sbf) follow these steps. You will need USB debugging enabled for these steps.
Step 1: Download the files here for windows and here for Linux depending on what OS you are running. Linux and Windows only for now.
Step 2: Windows: Run dopreinstall.bat with USB debugging on, on your phone.
Linux: Open terminal and cd to the folder you extracted the zip from. Then type "chmod 0755 dopreinstall.sh" then "./dopreinstall.sh" with USb debugging on, on your phone.
How to install:
Step 1: Download and install Koush's bootstrap application if not already done.
Step 2: Copy Unleashed30AlphaDX.zip to your sdcard and then unmount
Step 3: Bootstrap recovery, then reboot recovery
Step 4: Mount /system in mounts and storage
Step 5: Install Unleashed30AlphaDX.zip from the sdcard
Step 6: Wipe data/factory reset(Not needed if coming from any Fission release, but recommended, as it may help fix some bugs)
Step 7: Reboot.
Step 8: Once your phone boots, give it around 2-3 minutes before you start using it. Tap the screen every 30-40 seconds to keep it from locking and rebooting.
Step 9: If you get stuck at the Setup Wizard, go back to the "Welcome To DROIDX" screen and tap all four corners until it either goes to the home screen, or when you hit the home button it goes to the home screen.
Step 10: Once out of the Setup Wizard, go to your settings, display, and set the display lock to 30 minutes so it doesn't keep shutting off and rebooting.
For USB to work, you will need to have the USB cable plugged in while booting or it will not charge or allow you to copy files to your sdcard. You can always charge through an outlet though.
When you boot, you may get a few force closes. Always select wait on these. You may also get Android System, select wait for that also.
For further support on how to do some of these steps, please join my IRC chat. Go to http://epicroms.com/blog/?page_id=2.
Even tho this is being posted a little after 12AM EST, HAPPY THANKS GIVING!

CVPCS were working on a way to get around the bootloader issue by double booting or something of that nature. Is this essentially what your doing with this or is this a motorola rom with all blur removed?

What you are talking about is hijack. This uses hijack, this is from source. Has 0 blur in it. Stock 100%.

Stock Kernel?
I'm just interested, I very much appreciate any and all new roms on the market.

Yeah, it uses the stock kernel. That's what hijack is used for.

Alright I'm somewhat confused. Just to be clear, the kernel that is in this rom is NOT what is included in any of the motorola OTA's correct? If so, your awesome.

Oh sorry my mistake, I thought you meant the stock Motorola kernel, which it does use. Sorry for the confusion.

I'm confused as well. I thought hijacking meant you were able to kick into a custom kernel somehow. Can someone explain this hijack thing to me?

It sounds like the rom is just a stripped apart OTA.

No from my understanding this is very different. This is built from the actual source files provided by google, so it doesn't start from the ota updates from moto. Whereas other roms take the moto roms and strip away as much as they can, this starts from the actual source files from google so it contains nothing from Moto in the rom itself. Yes, you still get the Moto kernel, but this is a big step forward. To get to this point is really amazing--mad props to everyone.

If true then (kernel aside) this paves the way for AOSP roms such as CM! Thank the heavens!

Yeah the kernel is still a big problem but this should make custom roms a lot easier once the bugs are worked out. Full cyanogen needs a custom kernel I hear but at least we can get something close hopefully.

Agreed! A rom that is truly from source I would think should be much faster than a moto rom that has been stripped out! ...guess we will see!
Anyone with reports on this?

Would an apply like widget locker bypass the reboot issue?

I am really curious to see this rom progress but for now i think it may have too many bugs to use as a daily driver. I will be following this thread though for updates :-D Good Job Matt4542

Awesome! I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere but does it matter if I'm running the P3droid's leaked 2.3.320 software?

For what it's worth here's the Quadrant scores (no overclocks, etc., but it looks like stagefright is on by default in the rom). Yes it is fast.

Awesome! Are you running 2.3.15 or 2.3.320?

I tried this out on 2.3.320. It was really fast and is almost good to use as a daily driver. Of course not being able to turn the screen off without it rebooting is kind of a big deal. Great work guys - I have been wanting AOSP on my X for a long time.
I removed the install and went back to an old nandroid but will be following the progress closely. Thanks again.

Quirks
This rom does not come with a SetupWizard. You need to manually add your google account under Settings > Add Accounts, or by just opening up the market and signing in.
Your SD does not mount ot the PC like normal, so you need to use gscript. Ive already included the scripts, you just need to run them.

Those who have an SLCD, please flash with caution. There are some who have had problems. Also, everyone please backup your SD cards. We JUST fixed mounting, and an SD card can be very easily messed up. Thanks =]

Pulled relevant files from CM. libs, /usr.
ril from ID.
We're lucky in that we're not the the first devs to port it. The Evo build helped us fix:
keys, lights, lcd density... more stuff that I don't know what it QUITE does, but I pulled it anyway.
Grab gapps from CM. I'll get a link up. Link: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version
Scroll downnn. Far right. Clicky.
EDIT: Do a full boot of the ROM. THEN flash Gapps WITHOUT WIPING. After Gapps flash, do NOT wipe anything.
IN OTHER WORDS, DO NOT WIPE ANYTHING AFTER INSTALLING THE ROM (unless you're about to install another).
r2DoesInc is downloading my build now. Once he's all good, I'll post link.
And now, for the main event. What you've all come to see... the LINK!!

Are these bootloops occurring on the device, or are you using an emulator to test it before you try it on hardware?

Thanks guys for taking this on. If you have read the threads you probably already know that this Inc forum is a pretty harsh place. I am not sure why but it seems like there is more name calling, belittling, hating and dev bashing here than any other forum I have been on.
All I can say is keep your heads up, ignore the haters/bashers and know that the majority of us appreciate the work you put into these projects.
THANKS!

This place is rarely like I can think of very few instances where that happened and I read this forum a lot.

[Webtop] Switch Themes

this works great for testing but I can't really recommend it. gnome is heavy and eats your battery and many things can potentially go wrong. try this only if you know what you're doing. that said have fun! you can always replace your gtk/metacity in the default webtop-theme directory with a compatible theme ie one that uses theme engines that you have successfully installed
pre-reqs:
1: successfully installed webtop to sd using webtop2sd
2: fixed apt-get using webtop scripts and installed synaptic + gksu
proceedure:
1: install gnome-screensaver followed by gnome-desktop-environment using synaptic
(you can set gnome to run at start by editing osh/usr/local/bin/start-oshwt-2.sh. add line sfalv -i "gnome-session" and comment out unnecessary start ups with hash marks #)
2: run gnome-appearance-properties
(you'll notice that you can't switch controls themes.. they all look like default webtop. let's fix that)
3: break the webtop theme and essentially force ubuntu to fall back to basic. do this at osh/usr/share/themes/webtop-theme. rename gtk-2.0 to something like gtk-2.0BAK
(if you experience any problems you can always undo your rename in root explorer. this is pretty failsafe)
4: run startx via terminal and wait for webtop to reboot. admire the ugly gray basic theme.
5: run gnome-appearance-properties and you'll notice now that the controls themes look like they're supposed to and can be applied.
yay for happy accidents!

Sounds interesting. I think I will try it. I was wondering if this might be possible but I didn't want to break my webtop installation after all the work I went through to get it functioning the way it needs to be.

i'm pretty sure installing gnome is safe. i've been using it for the last 3-4 days and haven't had any issues.
should anything go wrong after renaming gtk-2.0, like webtop doesn't boot, you can use root explorer to undo your rename and it'll be back to normal.
it seems pretty safe but i haven't really tested the "procedure" on multiple devices/setups. hopefully a few people are brave enough to try it and confirm it works.
maybe some of the hardcore devs can figure out why webtop is so anal about the control theme and implement a proper fix, but i think they're pretty swamped with cm7
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=i'm pretty sure
jesus h walnuts, i gotta stop doing that.

What ROM were you running when you did this?

Interesting. I've been trying to figure out how to change that God awful gtk theme.

homebase orange #4 with update 2.6 and stock webtop.
if renaming gtk-2.0 doesn't work, try opening gtkrc and deleting everything in it then save and restart. be sure to back it up.

also since build essential doesn't play nice, you can't build the aurora GTK engine. i found an armel deb and managed to install it but it's complaining about libgdk-pixbuf-2.0.2.blahblah something. haven't got past that yet. murrine themes work fantastic tho.

i'm guessing 2.3.4. i didn't flash any webtop updates

Will this work with xfce4?

does not work in XFCE4, I broke the webtop gtk theme,went to basic, but can not change theme still in Appearance properties

thanks for confirming this. did you give it a try with gnome? you can always remove it later if you don't want to use gnome

Every time I've tried this webtop won't start after a reboot.

aaron.a said:
pre-reqs:
1: successfully installed webtop to sd using webtop2sd
2: fixed apt-get using webtop scripts and installed synaptic + gksu
proceedure:
1: install gnome-screensaver followed by gnome-desktop-environment using synaptic
(you can set gnome to run at start by editing osh/usr/local/bin/start-oshwt-2.sh. add line sfalv -i "gnome-session" and comment out unnecessary start ups with hash marks #)
2: run gnome-appearance-properties
(you'll notice that you can't switch controls themes.. they all look like default webtop. let's fix that)
3: break the webtop theme and essentially force ubuntu to fall back to basic. do this at osh/usr/share/themes/webtop-theme. rename gtk-2.0 to something like gtk-2.0BAK
4: run startx via terminal and wait for webtop to reboot. admire the ugly gray basic theme.
5: run gnome-appearance-properties and you'll notice now that the controls themes look like they're supposed to and can be applied.
yay for happy accidents!

Worked like a charm!
Great tip!

I've rebuilt my webtop like 10 times this week but it seems like my process changes from run to run.
Doesn't installing gnome-screensaver cause xscreensaver to be uninstalled? I thought I remembered reading somewhere that xscreensaver was one of the packages that couldn't be messed with. Does your screensaver still work after this is done?

a screensaver works lol i don't know which it is. i can confirm that if you follow the steps exactly from a fresh install + webtop2sd + webtop scripts it does work. synaptic did throw a few errors during the gnome-desktop-environment install, but i ignored it and closed synaptic. they might have been related to xscreensaver.
after gnome is installed, you've broken webtop-theme, modified start scripts, and run startx you usually get a blank screen. at that point what generally works for me is simply closing and reopening the lapdock a few times. it's weird and a little finicky but it works

Have you guys noticed that after successfully following the instructions and installing Gnome, every time you dock the Atrix onto the Lapdock while the Atrix is LOCKED, the Webtop comes up UNLOCKED?
The Atrix cannot be accessed directly since it will be locked on the mobile window, but since Webtop is unlocked, you can browse all its content via file manager (thunar in my case) which I think it's risky.
Any thoughts?

I know it's ridiculous to quote myself, but I was thinking that messing with XScreensaver is causing my Webtop to not lock with the phone.

Quick question, what file are you commenting out in oshwt-2.sh? Also are you commenting out any in oshwt-1.sh?

Installation instructions
There are two ways of installing Ubuntu on your Nexus 4: Single or dual boot. Dual boot is definitely easier (that irony!).
Single boot requires you to have a desktop PC with Ubuntu installed while dual boot can be achieved by downloading an app from Google Play.
The single boot instructions are presented very well on the official Ubuntu developer site: Installing Ubuntu for devices
Advantage: Very easy to reflash without losing your data
Disadvantage: Requires a PC with Ubuntu installed
Dual boot can be set up by downloading MultiROM Manager from Google Play, installing the MultiROM parts from inside the app and then installing Ubuntu from inside the app as well.
Advantage: Very easy to get Ubuntu working without the need of a PC
Disadvantage: No way to reflash later without losing your data (but don't worry, updates work fine)
No matter which installation method you choose, you will be presented with a list of channels to pick from, each of them containing different versions of the OS.
If you want stable images with updates once every six weeks, choose the channel "ubuntu-touch/stable".
Daily development builds can be installed from the "rc-proposed" channel, but this is not to be recommended as they break regularly (sometimes they do not even boot).
Note that in that case there is no way to recover your data if you are using MultiROM.

Thanks, how is this different from the already existing ubuntu touch ? Have you tried it ? Is it finally daily driver material ?

If you expect a daily driver when it is clearly labelled as a developer preview, you're gonna have a bad time.

Not a daily driver, wifi doesn't work, the touch interface - while interesting - requires two hands to operate the menubar-thingy, and it looks like many placeholders are included. Nonfunctional items are plentiful.
I love the smoothness, it feels good, and the visual design is pleasant. If phone and wifi worked it would be worth using on a spare phone.
