hey guys, due to me needing a windows machine for my it course, can people please tell me how to compile using windows, like what programs i need and stuff like that,, thanks guys, i look forward to your help
If you are talking about compiling a rom from source,its not possible on windows.You would have to setup a VM or dual boot to compile.Refer developer.android.com
Controversies,controversies everywhere :what:
oh damn ok thanks,, looks like i might have to upgrade my pc to use vm properly, mine might be a little slow

Hi,
title says it all, is it possible to do so?
I currently have no access to my Vista-PC or any other Vista/XP system... just Windows 2000.
Thanks in advance
no one
i really doubt people still using win2k, but i think it will work since the xp/2000 are pretty much the same stuff.

so you just plug your phone in and your computer has internet right? thats pretty cool. It doesnt lag much? Have you noticed any issues with it so far? Did you see that i put your facebook picture on there. lol
haha yeah i saw the fb pic. but thats why i asked if it was 32 or 64 bit cause i had to install the right version for my computer. yeah just plug it in and hit connect and your good to go. doesnt cost anything if you have a data plan. not much lag no. anyways... lol. back on the thread subject. i really dont know but it doesnt look that hard to be able to get this to work. if we can then i think this would be awsome. great find!!!

if i just new where the init.d folder is on our rom, (i cant find it) i would make an androidupdate.tar to push the 10bootanimation file to that location. Then all you would need to do is create a folder on your sd card called bootanimation.
so, i guess the question would be where do we put the script file...
Firstly you should edit the file, we don't need to mount and umount the sdcard.
make it easy and just add the call to the sysinit.rc and put the sh file is /system/bin.
I'm going to put this in my next ecliar build..
So I'm guessing there is a lot of Linux guys here and I have just bought a new HDD for installing Linux. So what do you guys recommend for a total newbie (with only Linux that is) like me?
Anything else than Ubuntu
Thanks
I reckon Ubuntu is your best bet Pretty n00b friendly
Edit: lol Just noticed the big writing saying not ubuntu my bad
Try looking here http://www.linux.org/dist/
Set language to english and intel compatible and it will show all the Linux Distributions Maybe just see wht you like the look off

Yep you would either need another harddrive or to partition your harddrive or to run in a VM
i was just gonna make another partition, and if i do, and it installs, will it automatically ask me which to boot from when i power it on?
Why not Ubuntu just out of curiosity. Don't want to start a flame war

i personally chose ubuntu, lol, how big would you say i need the partition to be?

I just think it's too common and too similar to Windows I want something new
Oh okay. If you try something "exotic" let us know your feedback!! I am going to do a reinstall on my computer soon and was thinking of switching away from Ubuntu just for the sake of trying something new so I'd like to hear some objective reviews.
Have you thought about "rolling your own"?

What do you mean? I did write "newbie" in the title right?
Sorry I meant you can make your own. There's a site dedicated to it but you might not want to do that just yet. Have you looked at OpenSuse? Haven't used it in a while but it was good. I tried the KDE version of Federa a month or two ago. A bit buggy! Mint Linux has had some good reviews anyway just my input!

Personally it's only the GUI I want to have some variety in so I'm trying out "Xubuntu" which I think is Ubuntu with XDE desktop-thing-which-I-don't-remember-what's-called-thing xD I did read about openSUSE but it was too much like Ubuntu I think
For a complete noob, Ubuntu is the way to go. It'll get you started pretty quick and the interface is just a matter of choice. If you want something that's uberHaxX0rZ, try installing a tiling Window Manager such as awesome instead of Gnome (which is default in Ubuntu).
I myself use Arch Linux with gnome-panel and Compiz as a standalone Window Manager and I'm loving it!
I myself am an Ubuntu man. I'm currently digging the Ubuntu 10.10 beta. 2 weeks until the final release!
I myself is trying to use the default window manager in Kubuntu but I can't get it working It's driving me crazy :/ It just says that non of the effects could be enabled...

This usually happens because the drivers for your graphics card aren't installed properly (or the card is ancient).
This is exactly one of the things why I personally dislike Ubuntu. If you're lucky, it'll work like a charm, but if you're not, you're gonna spend hours and hours trying to get it to work.
Either way, you can probably fix it by downloading and installing proprietary drivers for your card, since the open source ones probably don't work with your card. Though on the other hand, maybe you need to use opensource ones because the proprietary ones that installed automatically don't work? Who knows?
I have read the thread about Full Ubuntu on the Atrix. What I am asking is something different.
Cant this hack work on the Motorola Atrix
Ubuntu on Nexus/Android Phone
It has instructions that seem to work on all android phones.
Anyone want to try it and tell me how it goes.
Should. There was a thread in here about doing the same thing but with debian. Its probably a couple of pages back.

I can't seem to find it. Can tell me roughly what the title was?
Also any other devs care to chime in?
Please
It'll probably work, but... why??? You already have a perfectly functional Ubuntu running on your phone.

Well to access that I will need some output monitor. I would like to have Ubuntu on the screen itself.
What is the worst that can happen to the phone if I tried it?

The worst? Who knows?
Sure, you could set up a VNC server under the Ubuntu and then run VNC from either your device (Android) or from an external client. That's what the linked method is doing, so there's nothing inherently better about it.

Well I don't know much but do you think that method at the source will work?
It doesn't seem to dive into the phone too much. It seems like an app. Also does anyone know of a way to get rid of it after I install it?

Me? No idea. I'm not sure how much magic is happening behind the scenes, and I'm currently involved in, well, making sure that the Ubuntu that Motorola ships works well to look too deeply into this. Sorry.

Have you seen my post on getting Debian running on the Atrix? Debian and Ubuntu are kind of similar IMO, and can run the same applications. To get it go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=986071
Thank you so much that is what I wanted.
Yea I use debian on my laptop and Ubuntu on my desktop.
Glad to see I helped But the question is did it work? I know a LOT of people were having trouble with it. I did it fine with no problems, I hope it went the same way for you.
I'm working on getting a vanilla copy of Debian running on the device. So far everything works except X, which can't detect a properly configured device. Will post if I have any success with it.

Thats great! Playing with Debian on the Atrix is actually quite fun. I had problems installing deb packages on it though for some reason. Have you tried installing flash on the FireWiesel browser? Failed for me. As did everything else I tried to install.
hey i was wondering if someone would help me install ubuntu on my win7 hp laptop now i tried this erlier via the usb method but i almost killed my computer my computer restarted and i got a black screen of death and i went into recovery and it hung on automatic system repair for about 40min and i was about 2min away from doing a full wipe on my computer and starting over luckily it finished and my computer restarted and all is good now. so now im ready for round 2 however i would really like some outside help before i try and tackle this again blindly lol.
so would someone please pm me and ill send u my gtalk info.
thx in advance.
I would imagine ubuntu hasn't changed all that much since I last tried the distro. Plus editing partitions is almost universally the same so I'll help you one of these nights (Mon- Wed) if you don't get help from someone else before hand.
Edit: actually I'm back in my town again, so tonight could possibly work out as well depending on when you're free. (I'm free between ~7-10pm CST then I have some things to take care of)

Walk away man... you almost bricked your hero and with the help of xda members you got it back up. Be grateful. This is the general section. Plus its linux. Which is what you have in your hand. In turn which is a hero... which has....linux.... so yes it has to do with the hero....
Enough sarcasm?
®patience is a virtue©
Good to hear that you got it installed.
JFYI - Ubuntu has an option where it can be installed as a directory within Windows. I have not used that option, but it did come up when I installed it, last time.
yea ubuntu is pretty sweet kind of buggy though im glad i only did a 20gig partition lol
try running arch linux no bugs here

Edit: Which version did you install on your computer? x64 or i386 (32bit)
i installed ubuntu 11.0.4 64 bit the main bugs are wirless tether not working and after looking around in the ubuntu forums its something to do with the wireless drivers on ubuntu
