[Q] CM Framework compiled

Hi, first of all I hope this is the right place for this if not please close/move and tell me the right place to ask.
I am planning to improve the CM-FM app for our N1s, it works but there is a lot of room for improvement (named stations, autosearch, overriding national limits...).
The problem is that I am working on a Windows machine and the FM app needs the modified CM framework classes to compile, it seems there is no option to compile the full CM distribution under Windows.
But it shouldn't be too difficult given the CM framework compiled to use it with android-SDK and eclipse to build just the app.
So I ask here if someone can provide me the compiled classes.
It would be great to have them published with the nightlies, but as I don't think there would be a lot of changes in this part probably I can work with an outdated version for some time.

Why don't you use a virtual machine with Linux for this?

Of course that's a last resource but surely there are people out there that can provide this classes from their last compilations without problems and maybe this can help other developers also.

You'd probably want to be able to compile CM anyway so just installing Ubuntu 64bit in Virtualbox will work fine and is free. Make sure to enable Hardware Virtualization in your BIOS if your CPU supports it.

I do want to compile CM just the radio app, otherwise I would have installed a linux.

Why so stubborn? It literally takes less than a few hours to install, download sources, and compile your classes. Instead, you'd rather post here, and sit in waiting for who-knows-how-long to get an answer?
Not flaming, just trying to follow your thought process...

XBMC on WebTop

Now that we know that it is running custom version of ubuntu, anybody want try compiling and running xbmc on it ?
XBMC trunk already contains most of the patches for tegra 2 and more will applied soon according XBMC developer ( davilla ). We should be able to test it now ..
<davilla> ssh in, install build tools, git install xbmc trunk, build for tegra2 and see if it works

That would be AWESOME!! I myself was wondering about running XBMC on webtop.

I tried installing git, but apt-get threw a bunch of dependency errors. I tried "apt-get -f install" but it wanted to remove most of the installed packages because they were not needed.

Any updates ?
Instead of trying to install via git why not download the tar of it and extract it ...

Hey guys!
Any news about it?
I really would like to see XBMC on webtop´s atrix!

I found this for the bravehearts.

NOTE: I have not tried it. You are in the DEV section, any mod attempts that YOU make to YOUR phone are YOUR own responsibility.
It is not listed here .... https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/armel?text=xbmc
So it probably has not been attempted.

I already did this steps but can´t work.
The XBMC is the most important thing to work for me on Atrix. I´ll wait for someone do that work,

I tried a couple of steps too, dependency hell. Not sure if it will be figured out in DEV section since it's more of an app thing.
I thought I saw a VM once that dev work could be done on. I'm on travel next week 10 hours of flight time plus sitting in Chicago for 3 hours both ways. Maybe I'll get motivated.

Oh man!
I hope you get motivated!
Really thanx!

You would need an x86 emulator or VM to run this I believe as it is only coded for x86. Running it through an emulator would be slow and unreliable or just plain broken most likely. Not to discourage anyone from trying.

Nope I've seen XBMC running on a beagleboard native, As well it ran very well. We have 2x the ram and 400mhz x2 more speed. So it should run.

I downloaded the XBMC through official site and one of the Readme file (README.armel) talks:
"
This is a port of XBMC for use on ARM Architecture.
As this is not an official version of XBMC, in-depth testing on various setups has not been done. USE WITH CAUTION!
For the purpose of this port, the following Hardware and Software was used.
Software: Scratchbox (cross-compiler) on a Linux (Ubuntu) machine.
Hardware: BeagleBoard (ARM Cortex-A8 with IMG POWERVR SGX).
The source code is based on XBMC for Linux - version 9.11 (Camelot)."
So, I think its possible to run on Atrix, correct? But I have to do a lot of hard things to try it and I´m not able to do it, but it´s a good news.

I think I'm getting lost here....
What is the intention for using XBMC within webtop? Streaming to or streaming from phone?
I've found these apps

I´ll try to explain (sorry, bad english)
I´ll conect my Atrix on dock HD and 2 hd extern (plugged on dock usb´s port).
So, trought the webtop, I open the XBMC and this show me the files (movies and tv series) on my HD´s.
XBMC has a nice e configurable interface.
I´ll look this apps!
Thanx!

Interesting......
I'd try it but going on travel tomorrow and I need my phone

Hi man.
I´d tried it (the armel version) but appears a lot of dependecies and I could´t try to install it.

Here is xbmc dev forum with it but for tegra 2 reference board though:

You need to use xbmc trunk which contains all the patches for tegra 2. Can you post what you have tried ? Any errors ?

I don't believe it's running as a VM, it's running as a full instance.

From what I can read on the XBMC threads there are some problems.
But I found a guide for the BeagleBoard that might help people get going, dont think it will run out-of-the-box with this guide.

[Guide] Building your own ICS ROM on 64-bit Windows 7

Please note that this is a guide to how to setup an environment to create your own ROM, and to build a test AOSP ICS Rom that will work on an emulator. While it is possible to do all this in 32-bit Win 7, you will find it much (!) easier in 64-bit Win 7. The intention is to allow all the folks who have said they'd like to work on a ROM to get their feet wet. If you complete all the steps in this guide you will have a Vanilla ICS Rom that works in the Android Emulator. You would still need to modify the kernel for the Tegra and add the special radio and other drivers before porting to the Streak.
Of course you can skip step 4 if you are willing to either dual-boot Ubuntu, or go into Ubuntu full time. However I figure a lot of folks on here are still on Windows for one reason or another.
1) Make sure that the ROM for your Windows 7 computer is set to allow Virtualization. If you have a Core i7 this will be the default. Otherwise you will need to make sure to set it manually through the Setup that should come up before BOOT.
2) Download VirtualBox 4.1.8
DL Link here for VB:
http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.1.8/VirtualBox-4.1.8-75467-Win.exe
DL Link here for VB Extensions (necessary for USB, shared folders, etc):
http://download.virtualbox.org/virt...alBox_Extension_Pack-4.1.8-75467.vbox-extpack
3) Download Ubuntu 11.04 64-bit
DL Link here:
http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download
Make sure (!) to select the 64-bit version before clicking download
4) Install VirtualBox and Ubuntu:
Install and Setup Guide:
http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorial...ndows-7-virtual-machine-using-virtualbox.html
(Note that some of the images from this guide are from an earlier version of Ubuntu)
I personally recommend that as long as you have at least a Quad Core that you give your VB machine Two Cores and Two Gigs of RAM. For the HD size of your Virtual HD remember that the Android Source Code is almost 16 Gigs. For speed and other purposes I suggest creating a fixed size 80 Gig (or larger) Virtual HD. While this can be on an external drive, if you have room on an internal drive that will also improve performance.
5) Install the Toolchain (Android Build Environment):
http://mjanja.co.ke/2011/11/building-android-4-0-on-ubuntu-11-10/
The first three steps will take between 1-2 hours. Step 4 will take an hour or so as well. Step 5 takes multiple hours due to the size of the Android repo source library. Plan accordingly
Hope this helps!

Looks good, but its way easier to use a direct Ubuntu installation, dude.
So far as i can see, you can use the sdk on 32-bit, too.

Mind everyone he said this was for AN EMULATOR

And that it still requires tuning for the Tegra chip and the custom radios. This is not a new ROM, rather it is what you would need to do to setup an environment to create a ROM.Just saw so many folks saying they would like to help, that it seemed to make sense to show them how to get started. If anyone has gone through this and is ready to take that next step, this would be a good place to let folks know.

Support on 32-bit is "experimental" according to Google. As for a direct install, that'sonly true if you are ready to convert to Linux or dual boot. On a fast machine having the VM is actually pretty quick, and allows you to mess up without impacting everything else.

[DEV]Chroot-Linux on Xperia Devices Locked/Unlocked Bootloaders(Debian,Ubuntu,BT5up)

Hi,
I have just bought a new Xperia Pro and Here is My first Contribution.Hope you guys like it.
I have tested it personally on the Unoffical MIUI port for PRO.But it should work on other Kernels and Xperia Devices as well.
I am posting a few Screens for you guys and as you can see lxde is already pre-installed for you guys.
Feel Free to comment

What is chroot?
A chroot image is like a Virtual Machine where you are running an O.S within an O.S.The point of this is that you have a whole Linux System running on a phone where you can ofcourse access all the utilities available in Linux.and as it runs inside of android you dont need to flash anything and can use both the chrooted O.S and Android together.
Things required:-
1)Terminal
2)Root
3)Sdcard with atleast 2GB of free space
4)A Brain

Hi! Have you tried this on stock kernel? I believe stock kernel doesn't have loop devices enabled and MIUI is a rebase of CM? Not sure though that's why I'm asking.

The Miui i used was on Stock Kernel.The Kernel Does Support Loop devices.Miui is a Rebase of CM but the loop functionality is related to Kernel.So,Yes it Works on Stock Kernel on Locked/Unlocked Bootloaders Both as we are not flashing anything.
Anyway Give Ubuntu a go.

Thanks! Just clarifying things out I haven't meddled with stock kernel that much that's why I am asking. Well the kernel sources sony provided has loop devices disabled by default glad that it's enabled on the official precompiled one.
Anyways! Try packing backtrack that should be alot useful than debian w/ lxde or a classic ubuntu image.
I got backtrack to run on Pro sometime ago when I was still using gingerbread.

Hi! seeing that you're a fanatic of these perhaps it would be useful if I give you these.

Those are packed and reduced sizes of debian & fedora arm images made to fit for chrooting on mobile devices. I made those for my previous device and is very stable already with 256mb RAM
the debian image is a squeeze version. Plus included is the fix for pulse audio. I'm not sure if it would work out of the box for android but with just a little bit knowledge with basic linux stuffs you could get it running perfectly

THANKS for the link...Meego wont chroot..tried it on the optimus a few months ago and failed..problem with zephyr..will give it a go later.fedora I had as well..but the thing is ...Does anyone except me even use these here????

I do but not that much. Like I said I just only tried backtrack and obviously I use it only when needed
Say do you think it would be possible to include a custom kernel on a chrooted image? It would be cool if we have backtrack here with monitor mode enabled. I think the wlan drivers/hardware of Xperia devices have the capability.
Or also try posting this thread to some other Xperia Sub forums. Arc/Pro users seem to be not very open to these kind of works. They just care on custom ROMs
In short they aren't geeky enough They aren't even that interested in dual booting.

In theory yes its possible.but changes will have to be made to the arm kernel to chroot.when u type uname in terminal the output inside the chroot is different than the android kernel.but I think native booting will be better than chrooting..not being interested is just odd....its so much fun having linux on the go

Actually I know I am going to say something Off-Topic
1) People on XDA are now the people who have got a smartphone just because they can afford one and wanna make their phone look "kewl" than the others with the same device
2) People do dumb things like cross flashing kernels.. They dont even read carefully what the OP says..
3) Running linux on a phone would be the best thing.. specially on an xperia pro where you get a harware keyboard..

[QPAIR/LOA] - LinuxonAndroid GPad support

This will be used to detail how to get LinuxonAndroid running on the GPad and the process of QPair support to bring new and interesting features to the project as a whole.
Step 1 - Install Linux on the tablet
We shall start by using the standard Complete Linux Installer to install and run Linux with the GUI pumped over VNC (Frame buffer method coming soon!), this method works on most devices and is the most universal but as the project develops in the coming weeks a better method for the GPad will be developed.
Anyway on with installing!
Root
First things first you will need to root your tablet, currently my tablet is running Stock V50020d with root.
The below will most likely work on other ROMs as long as you have root it should work!
(A custom ROM may be developed for further features.. watch this space)
Download
Now we have root you will need to download the below:
Complete Linux Installer
Terminal Emulator
VNC View (I recommend PocketCloud)
Finally download A Linux .img file from our source forge site HERE, I recommend and will be using Ubuntu 13.10 Small ext4. Once downloaded extract the .zip file and copy the .img to your devices memory (internal memory or sdcard).

Bingo!
With linuxonandroid running on the tablet we could then use QPair to allow the user to have a phone (or another tablet..?) as the mouse/keyboard for Linux

posted first steps in OP to start getting LoA running on the tablet.
Everything is running very well, I shall finish the guide shortly to get LoA running but really the app install guide will work perfectly.
Next step I will be releasing a special Ubuntu 14.10 image which will be the supported image for QPair features and other changes for the GPad.

it say I need a loopable kernel which I didn't find for stock LG rom...

Howdy, cool project. Couple of questions. I'm looking for a reason to install Linux on my tablet, but also understand that I can remotely view my home system with vnc. So what would be the benefit?
Is there more control using Linux to Linux?
Does this mean I could open into my home system, make changes to my kernel, compile, and upload to a server from my tablet?? Late night insomnia while in the mountains would be awesome. I would have to tether my tablet to my phone for WiFi, and run through Linux? This sounds pretty awesome.
Tell me the reasons it won't work.

Pretty awesome OP. Thanks!

Cant log in ubuntu
Can somebody tell me why im not able to boot?im running lollipop with red kernel and before i was running kitkat and still the same.Im my g2 there is no problem but on tab doesn work.I download complete linux installer,busybox,terminal and vnc and i never get the @root.i trh also a differend image but nothing.Any help will be appreciate
