HELP! Anyone good at linux i need advice - Off-topic

Hello xda
this probably isnt the right place to ask, but i need help
So, ive put backtrack 5 on my beloved sensation and i'd like to be able to write java apps on the go. so i installed the open jdk and the eclipse enviroment. The problem is, that i downloaded eclipse for 32bit linux... and i dont know if that should be it i tried to run it with no success. Could it be that i need the eclipse compiled for arm? could it be that i jjust did something wrong?
HELP!

I posted my response in the mafia thread. When I first tried to post here I got error messages.
(It's apparently working now, however )

Using Legend to develop apps under eclipse?

Hi everyone,
I've got a Legend for a moment, and i'm trying to write some code for this baby. however, either the official android sdk provides the dev driver for Legend nor the HTC dev site.
I found there is a discussion related to it
ht tp://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/2b54d2ce1202b04b/(i can't post links, plz fix it by yourself)
though it still doesn't work for me.
so are there anyone who know how to let it work as APD1&2&N1 under eclipse, could you please share your method, thanks a lot!

How to develop my own rom????? Please help :)

I was wondering what do I need to know, or do, to develop my own rom. I was thinking of porting one of the roms here like froyobylazlo, and modding it. How do I mod a rom?
I have ubuntu 9.10, and sdk, and jdk setup. And I know a tiny bit of java.
Pleez help, I am desperate to start working!
P.S I already used the "search" function so please don't tell me that I'm too lazy to do that.

At the above, calm down. If you want to, just Google it and spend a few hours looking around on the internet. That should help. I've never done so myself so I can't add much more.

yeah im not that advanced yet either but so far what he taught me is the things i listed.. he just kinda helped me install them.. but what do you need help with? Do you have a virtual machine?
VirtualBox install that on your pc! than get the ubuntu .iso!
Ubuntu 11.04
create a new machine in virtualbox and load the lynix ubuntu.iso,
when its all installed you open applications> terminal and thats where you type all the stuff on here..

Thank you so much for helping me. I would totally appreciate it.
Umm i have virtualbox setup, and ubuntu but its an older version, ill update to the newer version though. i did play around with ubuntu for a while tho so i sorta know how to use terminal. Should we keep this on this thread or PM?
yeah i had an older version too but i had to update for compatability problems.. but im in the middle of installing java6 jre you might need this website lol...

oh yea one question, do i have to install sdk on ubuntu as well? or just on my pc?
sorry for delay but no you dont have to.. i have it on windows..
no worries, ok then cuz i already have it on windows as well.
Ive been looking into the links cyanogen posted in the some advice link you gave me, and i hardly understand anything, and its alot to learn, but ill keep reading.
So far, it looks hard to create my own rom.
yeah it gets pretty difficult but mostly consists of the lynix ubuntu and the source code repo link i sent you.. thats what im working on now.. lol
in that case, its not that hard..
cyanogen put links more for app devs..
i think thats why it seems so hard..
so all we have to do is repo, compile, build and thats it?
we dont have to write code or scripts and stuff?
yeah pretty much.. you have to edit scripts here and there to get things working if your going to mod it.. the link i sent you is to create a gingerbread flashable rom..
yea ezterryy's ezginegerbread,, do u have any helpful links for editing scripts/modding?
no not at the moment.. i only know about language so far..
ok thanks.. let me know when you do..
i really aprrecitate you taking the time to helping me.

My guess is you would also need an IDE like Eclipse to do the building in, and run an ant build to compile it all once done, though I've not tried to chew it off myself.

Development resources?

I am looking to learn to develop for this phone. After so many people have left we are in desperate need.
I have experience coding on PC and light experience on WINMO 6....
I am reaching out to the community for resources on how to learn to develop for the Vivid. Any Direction will be appreciated.
I would also be willing to learn to develop for this phone. I'm a computer science student at MIT and have coding experience, but have not done anything related to Android so I'm not sure where to begin.

You can try this kitchen. It kind of works if you start from custom Rom as base.
At least gives you idea of what you have to do. You can than develop more depending on how good ur Unix or scripting skil are

WARNING: If your HTC device is not listed below, and it does NOT use a 'YAFFS'-based filesystem (e.g. usually the mid-range and high-end devices don't use YAFFS), do not attempt to flash a ROM that you built with this kitchen. Instead, you must do the following if your device is NOT listed:
Create a file under the kitchen's /tools/edify_defs folder, with the name being the same as the value of ro.product.device (found in your device's /system/build.prop file).
See the template file in the edify_defs folder to see how to set the mount points inside the file you created. Look at the other files in that folder for examples on how to do it.

Since the Vivid is not listed as one of the compatible devices, do we need to do this? I saw the Rezound on there is why I am asking
I too am going to give it a stab. I have experience working with Cyanogenmod as well as a ton of C/C++/Unix/Scripting/Driver experience. Lets see what we can make.

At the bare minimum do what WC said but I don't recommend you use someone else's custom ROM as your base for a multitude of reasons. If for no other reason, you'll inherit any flaws they may have unknowingly introduced and you won't understand the changes they implemented to make the improvements they made.
I'm a little rusty, but my team and I develop on the HTC Dream/Magic. I own about 6 devices right now and just gave away 3 others to a developer on my team. It's kind of funny, even though I've owned all these devices, I've never really developed on any of them since there's always so many other people already doing so.
But since everyone left and there's no competition right now, I think I might start developing again, I just need to know what you guys want and I'll see what I can do.

I'd love to see some new guys giving it a try. I wish I could invest the time and had the knowledge to do it myself.
I think most are just looking for a good solid ICS rom, with Tethering working... anything else would pretty much be a bonus. I think "MOST" would be appreciative of pretty much anything at this point

He was making a point to not use someone's custom rom
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda premium
If that's the case, than from my experience it is a bit harder for someone with no knowledge to start with stock ROM. Out of the box the kitchen did not work very well with any stock ROM. It was easier to tweak a custom rom because the DEV had fixed the issues which I don't know if every one can solve. e.g some may just struggle to get system.img to work in this kitchen , again that can be trivial for some to fix and some noob's may find it hard.

It's all trial and error my friend. Later tonight when class is over I'll try to create a rom from the Telstra 3.5 RUU. I tried the ICS stock rom, but I wasn't able to deodex about 50 or so files. Hopefully this time around the process will go smoother.

Thats not learning then,thats taking someone elses work,start as everyone else did,everything is out there to be [email protected] all have to learn somehow,but the way your saying isnt the correct way to learn...its called kanging,then tweaking something here and there and calling it your own creation....truely learn something and start from scratch,we all did,so why would you expect it should be easier for you?

As far as resources go, download the kitchen, and DO NOT use it, rather analyze how it works. Look over the scripts and see why it does what it does, if you don't understand something, google it.
That'll help some of the beginners here.

I wouldn't consider that development and the OP asked for development advice. My previous post provides ample information to "do it the right way", team that with extracting your source from RUUs and you've just become a real dev. You will possess the necessary knowledge and tools to create your own ROM.
Then after you create your ROM if you still have problems that another dev has resolved you can respectfully contact that dev for guidance on what they did to resolve it.
That's the way I would want someone to use my work anyway.

Use the aforementioned kitchen to extract "stock" carrier base ROMS if you choose not to build from source.

LG System Dump

Can someone either give me the latest system dump from the LG Revo, or tell me how to do it from my own phone please ?
Also what version of the Android SDK do i need, i am assuming the latest, but i dont kno which that is, can someone link me to the one that i need. And I found out that I need ADB to do a system dump, and that it comes with teh SDK, is this correct ?
this is the one I downloaded - http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html - and I downloaded the LGE Real 3D for LG Phones, The SDK Platform, Samples for SDK and Google APIs by Google Inc., tools for Android 2.3.3. But I can't seem to find ADB. ANd when i was installing these tools, in the manager log that shows whats installing and its progress, it says "Stopping ADB server Failed (Code-1)" so i am assuming it tried to install ADB but didnt seem to work for some reason.

1 Copy and paste the adb binary to a new folder
2 CD to the folder
3 Type "adb pull /system"
4 Delete the adb binary from the folder
5 There is your system pull

[Q] ROOT help for i9305 (UK LTE version) via Apple Mac

Does anyone know of a link with instructions to root my Samsung Galaxy S3 i9305 via Mac?
I no longer own a PC running windows so it needs to be Mac (Snow Leopard or Mountain Lion OS - I have access to both)
I did find a way to do it with the i9300 but it won't work on the i9305 model.
I'm also running Jelly Bean.. Dunno if that makes any difference.
Thanks.

As far as I can see from the top of my screen this section is Q&A for the i9300 and the i9305
Help!
Hi,
I just got my i9305 and need to root it before I start using my device and I can't seem to find even 1 site which details how to root this device on the mac. Can anyone please help??? Much appreciated!
Thanks,
Parichay
Someone else may come along with a more informative reply, but this may help:
For some (unknown) reason I couldn't root my I9305 using the toolkit stickied in the development section using my Windows PC. After many attempts I installed VMWare on my (much better) Linux laptop and ran the toolkit from a virtual machine running Windows XP - all went well for me YMMV!
Never having owned a Mac I can't offer much more, though you might also look at a program called Heimdall. It didn't detect my phone reliably on my slightly out of date installation of Ubuntu (10.04) and I'm not sure if it's available for Mac, but it may be worth a look.
Good luck!
I just checked and Heimdall is available for OSX! I couldn't reliably satisfy a missing dependency on my older Ubuntu install but you may have more luck. I don't seem to be able to paste a link here, but Google "Heimdall download" and you''ll find it.
I have been busy but I am going to be working on videos on how to root via osx and windows. keep your eyes peeled or sub my youtube channel.
Click here for my YouTube Channel
Thanks
Thank you!
In the meantime, I could not resist and and used my friend's Windows machine to root the phone using the I9305 toolkit
[I9305 Rootkit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1979290]
I did install Heimdall on OSX but was not adventurous enough to try using it without much reference. My bad. There were some threads on it, but the files that came along with the Heimdall instructions were for I9300 and the I9305 files using Odin didn't work (I admit I did not spend as much time as I would have liked with it).
Thank you all anyways, and I'm sure the videos and more posts will help others, no doubt.

I'm in the same boat, unfortunately there are too many unhelpful comments as I have spent a lot of time looking for the root instructions in all the place that people get told "just look in that section" My first Android device and I don't want to brick it. There are lots of pc instructions for the 9300 or even 9305 but am struggling to find specically mac and 9305, guess I'll have to try to find the "right" section and ask there and wait for the "google it" comments. Rant over
I was in the same situation as you are in now. I gave up on finding out how to root on mac with Heimdall. Didn't want to take any risks. Was to many unknown factors for me.
What I did was to install VirtualBox (free) and a copy of Vista on my mac. If you don't have a copy of vista it will not be a good option as it will cost you some bucks..
Yeah thanks Cundis I have been thinking of using a vb myself but was hoping not to, guess like you I may give up soon and install windahs
