For those who haven't bothered to read the READ THIS BEFORE POSTING announcement by mrvanx
A few things you should keep in mind before posting to XDA-Developers forums:
Check if your question has been asked before
Some questions just keep popping up over and over. Please use the 'search function' in the menu above each and every page in the forum. Try entering a few keywords to see if your question has been asked before. If it has, please read the topics and see if you can figure it our from there. You can also search inside a topic if it has too many comments by using the search function (CTRL+F) in your browser. If you don't find the answer, please post a comment to the relevant thread instead of starting a new one.​RTFW, or Read the Wiki
Chances are your question is already answered on the wiki: Make sure you browse through the FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) before you start a new topic. If it's an obvious or common question, chances are someone has already put the answer there.​ETFW, or Edit the Wiki
Information stored in the wiki is dynamic: The wiki makes it easy for anyone to contribute or edit pages, and link them together, it is the best way to keep all information current and accurate. If you ask something in the forum which you didn't find on the wiki previously, please take 5 minutes of your time to EDIT the wiki and add the information there when you get an answer. This is the only way to avoid tons of new threads asking the very same questions over and over and over again.
Don't be afraid of editing the wiki if you don't understand the wiki syntax: Formating may seem a bit complicated at the beginning, but you don't have to care too much if you just want to add content, add it as if you were writing a text document and sure someone more experienced with wiki syntax will edit it after and correct the bad formating mistakes.​First time here?
If it's your first time here, we encourage you to read general XDA-Developers guidelines too, which is an extended version of what has already been said here.

To fix busybox problem on webtop2sd version 1.1.0, you may need to run these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16400816&postcount=464

cool. no doubt this will be a popular thread..
hopefully the webuntu 11.10 thread is even more popular lol
maybe mention the hdmi hack?

fix busybox dependencies with Stephen's Busybox installer app
ln -s /system/bin/busybox /system/etc/webtop2sd/busybox so that /system/bin/mountosh knows where to look for busybox to mount the new partition.
Use installer to put busybox in /system/bin. Right now it's probably installed under /bin.

I started a doc this weekend when I was rebuilding my phone. These are the steps I used. I used them again last night after I whorked up my webtop.
And I have to do them again right now since I just updated Aura to 1.1.0. Copying and pasting is so much easier off one document.
This doc basically is a compilation of the threads of how to do everything. Just jammed in one doc.
And it has worked for me. So use at your own risk, all warnings that have been stated in the quoted threads apply.
PM to me corrections if necessary and I'll update. I was typing the same time I was applying the mods. I've read it a couple of times, looks good to me but I'm biased.
Here it is......
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/36994103/[GUIDE] WebTop fixes for fully functional Ubuntu.doc

I used the program to install 1.19 in system/bin, but i dont know what that means
ln -s /system/bin/busybox /system/etc/webtop2sd/busybox so that /system/bin/mountosh knows where to look for busybox to mount the new partition.

Is that a command im supposed to run? If so, where does it begin, in -s or in in? Can i do that in android terminal emulator?

The command is 'ln -s /system/bin/busybox /system/etc/webtop2sd/busybox' creates a symbolic link to the busybox binary (installed in /system/bin/) to the link in /system/etc/webtop2sd/busybox. You can read more about it by doing a 'man ls' on any ubuntu box or on http://manpages.ubuntu.com.
This shouldn't be required, but for some reason, paths don't show up and it's a workaround that I've confirmed works. Sogarth is working on a fix for this in an upcoming version of WebTop2SD. Until then, try my suggested fixes...
Hope this helps,
Alex

About to attempt this on my phone, wish me luck. Perhaps I'm asking for a flaming, but I was wondering if it would be possible to package this into a newb friendly zip. Or if developers could include it in their roms? I enjoy using ubuntu on my laptop and would love to replace webtop with it.

I actually have steps 1 & 3 done in what will be the working version of Joe's webtop mod v2, as my last one didn't work that well and I thought I owed it to Joe to give him a working one. If you're brave, you can moto-flash this now.
*removed* - not working for me or jruweaver.
I say brave because I have yet to flash it myself, I'm unlocking my wife's 1.8.3 right now so I can, but it'll take awhile to do so. I'll post it in Joe's thread once I've confirmed it works.
Worse comes to worse, it won't work and you'll need to flash Joe's v1 again...
Hope this helps,
Alex

Thank you, will post my results.
EDIT: I flashed it successfully but nothing appears to have changed(had joe's version installed). Did I forget something?

Hmmm... flashed a couple of times on mine, got nothing, just like you described... Did it again a final time and now webtop is dead... Removing for now...

Im exercising deep patience here, but I dont know what to do anymore. I unninstalled the script and the app, then began it from scratch. First created the webtop2sd folder, then installed busybox on /bin, then executed the command to create the link. Installed webtop2sd, executed with partitioning and formatting, rebooted the phone, told to reinstall configurator, reboot again, and still, when clicking the configurator on webtop, nothing happens. =|
Im starting to teach myself how to use google docs, looking up office 365 too, because this just isnt working...
alien v2
brazilian atrix
edgan's kernel

Would it be possible to use the backtrack mod with this? I finally got everything working, but having backtrack would seal the deal.

slightly unrelated but I'm a lil stuck atm, was messing with getting/editing flash player and somehow removed it outright no .so file in firefox nothing, any way I can get that back on without redoing everything I tried digging for the old/original .so file in 2.3.4 from the firefox addons folder but no luck still no flash anyidea where I can re install the package?

Used qume and other methods for launching a windows image even had micro xp all the way to installation with qume mimicking the 32-bit minimal specs but it kicked out half way through expanding the copied files realistically the specs arnt enough to support a full vm through qume or vb though when and if the next windows is cross platform on arm and 32-bit and 64-bit we may or may not be able to try a windows vm through qume or vb. Though to skip installation all together track down standalone xp it launches in a windows platform without installation using qume and try booting the image in ubuntu I haven't matched the specs to get it booted its missing something I have a link I can pm from my dropbox (I doubt it after trying several attempts myself but hell your welcome to try)

[LINUX] Linux-on-Android project

While this project is also in the main Android Dev section I have decided to maintain it here as well, I feel the nexus 7 is really a great platform for my project, sadly being a poor student I will not be getting my nexus 7 right away so while I want to support this device directly I will need your guys help doing so by testing and let me know how it goes and any bugs etc!
The TEAM!
While for the past 5 months it has just been me its time to bring the project to a level I can't maintain by myself, cue the birth of the Linux on Android TEAM
The team consist of:
Myself
tuxling
Think you have something to bring to the team? then contact me and we shall talk
What is this all about?/Why put this on my device?
This projects aim is to bring a range of linux distros to your android device through a method known as 'chroot', see it has running a linux distro within a virtual machine on your phone. You can access this virtual machine and run it on your phone without causing any damage to your device, or having to overwrite anything. Why might you want this? well my apps are designed to make the install and set up process as easy as possible (more so in the paid apps) while still giving you some flexibility. Once you have the distro up and running then you can pretty much run and install any linux software you like (so long as there is a arm port or it is not architecturaly depenedent), sure there a very few big benefits over what android itself can do but it is still pretty dam cool. (and with the free ubuntu version, hey its free does it matter how useful you find it?)
Wait this uses VNC why shouldn't I just VNC to a computer?
VNC is used to access the GUI as at the moment I have not yet implemented a native way of viewing the GUI. But the Linux distro itself is running within the phone and can be controlled via the terminal app so if your a seasoned Linux user you may never even want to use the GUI
What is Chroot?/How does this work?
"A chroot on Unix operating systems is an operation that changes the apparent root directory for the current running process and its children" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chroot
This method of running linux distros with android has been around for some time. I have worked on my scripts to make the process more user friendly and give you far more options from the word go.
The scripts start by mounting the ubuntu image file within the android file system and then mounts the sdcard and if ou have it internal memory within the ubuntu file system.
Chroot is then used to change the root directory to that of the mounted ubuntu and a bash shell is then opened to allow you to control Ubuntu this is kind of like 'booting' the OS.
The likes of VNC and SSHD are then set up when ubuntu is 'booted' to allow you to connect to the GUI if you require it.
Interested?
Ok so you want to get one of the support linux distros on your device, great welcome to the team
But first you will need to find out if your device is compatible with the method before anything else, this method 'should' work with pretty much any device but some ROM's/kernels will not work as they do not have loop device support etc.
HERE is a list of working devices and ROM's/kernels but remember just because its not on the list simply means no one has told me its working, it could still work!
Free Apps/Files
There is now one free app called the Complete Linux Installer (NEW) which can be downloaded from the market, along with the image files.

Cool deal. I've run BT on my phone before which I set up manually. I will try it out on the N7 and let you know.

I'm trying this on my G2X and I have the internal sdcard mounted as /sdcard and the external where I want to put the ubuntu image as /mnt/emmc/
Is there a way to provide support for that? I cant get vnc started and im not sure ssh is working either.

That should work fine so long as you set the image location in the launcher to the right location, what error are you getting with vnc?

[HOW-TO] Dev basic´s: Source, Compiling, Github & co ~ Day 4

Welcome to fuss132 dev basic´s​
So you want to become a developer for android? You dont know where to start? Well, I will try to give you some point you can start with.
"There are many tutorials on compiling source code?", you may ask "So no need of this?". No, youre not right. Of course there are many how tos that explain you how to compile something... but to do the magic there is more needed than just "Execude this commands and ready". You need to know the things behind, you need to get the flair of android.
What I want:
First of all, I know that there are many people that see how devs are failing; or some that need help and those people cant help them. They have the time to learn something, but they dont know how. You can expect a point to start with, some welcome drink of android development. Expect the falir of android! Join the android open source project! I posted this in the I9100G section, because I use my kernel (called horsepower) as an example, but it can be used for every device! And please if I helped you thank me in whatever post I helped you I´m doing this in my spare free time to help you!
What I dont want:
I cant give you everything! You will need some time, it took me one and a half years to get to know a big part of how android works and stuff. You will not be a "full" developer after this! Furthermore, I dont teach you for 10 variants of my kernel coming up at the forum or of cm roms what ever! Android is an opensource project. This means creating something new - but together. If you did something you think its worth to publish make a git push request and your work will be included to my kernel f.e. Every dev that notice your work will let you post in his thread and your work will be thanked!
Also required for this howto:
A computer running ubuntu 12
Some basic ubuntu terminal knowledge
Time and more time
Also a good internet connection could be usefull
How it will work:
So you think you can manage this? Good luck, I will help you whereever I can. But please understand, that my work on kernels and roms will come first I will try to post every day a new tutorial. We will start with setting up your computer and will end up in some weeks with compiling your own aosp rom. Ready? So lets go to the second post here and start with Day 1: Introduction
PS: Well we only have one forum so, besides this fact that this is about learning developing, I posted it here...

Day one: Introduction and downloading source code
This is all for jellybean!
So no longer talking about developement, let´s do some of itselfe.
We first need the source code. For completeness we will download both - kernel source and main rom source. If you dont know what kernel is for please stop reading here... you will fail 99,9999%. (Maybe you just forgot which files this is for: Kernel is the boot.img in your update.zip´s and the rest located in /system is the compiled main rom.)
1. Creating your working directory and stuff
You should know the commands, just use the same folder names and structure for a better chance that I can help you if something goes wrong.
cd
mkdir cyanogenmod
cd cyanogenmod
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2. Downloading the source and required software
At this part we use a very useful build script made by teamhacksung, thanks to them!
Staying at your /cyanogenmod folder do the following (What this git command mean ~ well dont think about it we will learn it afterwards):
git clone git://github.com/teamhacksung/buildscripts.git -b cm-10.1 buildscripts
ln -s buildscripts/samsung/build.sh
./build.sh prepare
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This script will now do some very useful things for you Select the specifics of your system and wait for finishing till the point "Download sources?" Tipe a "y" and select "cm-10.1". (When it asks for your folder you want the source in only tipe "sources" and hit enter). This will download the main uncompiled canogenmod sources for you (including some kernel and device specific stuff). It will take looong Depeding on your net connection. Some hours usually
3. Downlading kernel sources and recovery stuff
Everything went well? So this means we need to go further. In /cyanogenmod/sources should now be some folders and files... And now we should download a kernel source for our device (choose one for your device, I will use I9100G ones).
Navigate to your source and execute
cd
cd cyanogenmod
cd sources
mkdir kernel/samsung/
cd kernel/samsung/
git clone https://github.com/fuss132/android_kernel_samsung_t1.git -b greenblob-4.2.2 t1
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Hah, you now have latest greenblobkernel source on your computer.
But to finally build the kernel and rom we will also need some device specific files for our I9100G. For other devices you will find these files when you search on gitbub. Or google device xy ics device tree.
cd
cd cyanogenmod
cd sources
git clone git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_samsung_i9100g.git -b cm-10.1 device/samsung/i9100g
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
As it finished you have all the sources you need
Thats enough for day one, I think. See you soon

Day 2: Github basics part 1
So we successfully downloaded all sources. Brilliant, now let´s go on. In future time you may work on kernels of even the main rom, and of course you should upload the changes you made to contribute to the community. You will need github for this. For some basic info go here I will only focus on how to use it.
The script from above post should already installed git, if not do the following:
sudo apt-get install git
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And you should also register an account for free at github.com -> here
As you did this we will also need to set up your github account on your computer, so use the following commands and replace it with the email adress and username you chose before:
First we should be in our kernel example local repository so use cd /cyanogenmod/sources/kernel/samsung/t1 to switch to it
git config --global user.name "Your Name Here"
git config --global user.email "[email protected]"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you now upload some changes you have to enter your password every time. To make the things easier we will use an ssh key and will add it to our github account. Its not important to know what all these commands are doing just do them
ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "[email protected]"
//Now you need to enter a passphrase.
sudo apt-get install xclip
xclip -sel clip < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub <- this is the path to your stored key
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now go to https://github.com/settings/ssh, login and click "add ssh key". Choose a name (doesnt matter which one) and paste your key from your clipboard into the field below. Thats it github is now set up
1. Some basics commmands
There are some basic commands you should know. Firstly, some explanations for you. The source you downloaded is stored on www.github.com.
With git clone [email protected]/pathtsource you can download new files and sources from existing repositorys.
When you change some files in your local repository (all files from one source path f.e. cd /cyanogenmod/sources/kernel/samsung/t1 and then execute and then) use git status to display the changes you made.
You made some changes? Then pack these changes into a commit by typing git add -A and also add a commit message that will appear later like git commit -m "Camera freeze fix" and finally upload it: git push. We will make some practical examples tomorrow, so dont worry about this now. Just keep that in mind.
Thanks for reading and see you tomorrow!
As usuall, if you like this thread and stuff please submit it as news tip!

Day 3: Github basics part 2 and preparing for compiling
Welcome to Day 3: Github basics part 2 and preparing for compiling! Lets beginn our "session" with a short test. Remember which command you have to use for cloing a repository (downloading the files to your computer)? Well we need this one here.
1. Again Github basics
Imagine the following situation; You want to help another person to fix a bug. You should create your own repository first to dont mix files up. In short we copy all files from a repository to our own new one. We have a point to start then and will use his code, but his code wont change when we change ours.
Go to www.github.com/ and login
I create a short repository for you all, nothing special but you can practise with it.
Open the following page (its the repositiory shown in your webbrowser: https://github.com/fuss132/lerninggit_practical_repository. Click on fork at the right:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If github is asking you to which user it should fork the files click the only availabe button ^^
You have now your own repository with the same files. We will download the files now. Open your terminal and navigate to the folder (it should be an empty one). So you have to do the following:
cd whereeveryyouwantit
git clone [email protected]:[B]yourusernamehere[/B]/lerninggit_practical_repository.git
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now we "fix the bug" and do some changes to your local files.
cd tutorialmembers
sudo gedit memberlist
// add your name to the list, save and exit //
cd ..
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So we made the changes, now we will upload them, you should know the commands already. If you have any questions please post in this thread
git status
git add -A
git commit -m "add my name to the list"
git push
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Brilliant, if you know visit https://github.com/yournamehere/lerninggit_practical_repository you will see that your changes have been uploaded. So you fixed my problem, you should now share the solution with me.
Open your repository in a webbrowser https://github.com/yournamehere/lerninggit_practical_repository and click on Pull Requests on the right side. Now select on the right side as head repo mine fuss132 one and as base repo in the left the default, your one. Describe what you did in the filed below and finally click on "Send pull request.
Thats it you now shared it with me and I will include your changes to my repo
2. Back to the roots: Prepare for compiling
Now cd to the folders you downloaded all the sources in. You should see folders like bionic, fendor, main... I will call this main source directory now
If you would compile the sources now you would stuck after some seconds Android needs a special java version for building. And this one cant be downloaded anymore. Well, bad situation... We will give up here we will never compile android :'(
Ok, **** you java we will rule you
There is an error only because the build system does not recognize the java version when it is an openSDK
$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_24"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.11.1) (6b24-1.11.1-4ubuntu2)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.0-b12, mixed mode)
To work around it, you can just comment out the following lines in build/core/main.mk:
cd build/core/
gedit main.mk
instead of
ifneq ($(shell java -version 2>&1 | grep -i openjdk),)
java_version :=
endif
there should be
# ifneq ($(shell java -version 2>&1 | grep -i openjdk),)
# java_version :=
# endif
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Java is now no longer checking its version and everything is working. Stupid solution, but working
The second part is that the linker would complain that it cannot find -lGL .
The workaround for it would be:
just execute this line:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/libGL.so
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The last thing what we need is again the buildscript file, just do the following (you dont have to remember this):
// be in the main directory of your sources //
gedit build.sh
copy all lines from https://github.com/teamhacksung/buildscripts/blob/ics/samsung/build.sh and paste them into your file
save and close
in terminal: chmod 777 build.sh
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thats it for today, thanks for reading! Please press thanks if you like it and maybe click on "newsworthy thread". Questions, as usuall in this thread please

Day 4: Compiling your first things and looking into the source code
It´s been a long time since we met the last time, I hope you didnt forgot everything. If you did - you know - just go to through the first posts and learn again. Sorry that it took so long for you to wait, but I´m writing this in my spare free time and I´m involved into many many projects at this time that are more important that this one. But I didnt forget you! So lets go in again and start coding!
1. Going through the source code
I know, I turned things around in the title of this thread, but compiling will take a very long time so lets go through the source code first.
Open a file explorer and navigate to your root forlders. You will see there many folders. As you all know, Cyanogenmod is a Custom Rom and adds much features to your devices, thats why they are using custom product configs. One for each phone and one for all phones.
Let´s go into the folder vendor/cm. You will see a file called "vendorsetup.sh" in which all available devices are written in.
Ok, you will wonder why theres only something like this in your folder if you downloaded the sourcecode for Cyanogenmod 10:
for combo in $(cat vendor/cm/jenkins-build-targets)
do
add_lunch_combo $combo
done
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Because since cm10 they´re doing things a bit different. In the next few days we will download the aokp source code and start porting aokp to a new device, because aokp is using the old building system like in cm9 and previous version - and I want that you know all of them. So back to our cm10 thing: All product specific files are now directly in the source code of the device, the device tree. Its the one we downloaded and stored in /device/samsung/i9100g.
But to build a fully working Cyanogenmod Rom we need more that only te device tree, we need some proprietary files from your device. In short, they are files that are very device specific like camera.t1.so (a camera module only for our device) that is pre generated and could not be build by our system. (Thats also the reason why developers cant edit it. We are not able to edit it, too). To pull all those files from your device, please connect it and be sure that you are already running a cyanogenmod 10 rom, otherwise some files might be different and not be copyed - your rom will not be successfully build.
Open our terminal and execute:
Code:
sudo bash
cd cyanogenmod/sources/device/samsung/i9100g
chmod 777 proprietary-files.sh
./proprietary-files.sh
Using adb all the files are now being pulled from your device and stored in the right directory of your system. If you successfully did this (and I didnt forget something) we should be now able to compile our own cyanogenmod rom.
2. Compiling your rom
So let´s go! (We will update the sourcecode before again, maybe some cool things changed). We will not use the build script for this, we´re doing things "oldschool". If you want to make things as easy as possible do ./build.sh i9100g and everything will be done for you.
sudo bash
cd cyanogenmod/sources
repo sync
/* start building*/
. build/envsetup.sh
lunch
/* pick the device you are building for */
make bacon or make fullota or make -jx (where x is the number of your cpu cores)

Hi man, first of all thanks a lot for your work. I write you because I wonder if we can virtualize Microsoft Office on your Debian. I know that the only virtual machine compatible with OMAP is QEMU but I don't know if you can virtualize a WinXP lite on our device. I really need work with EXCEL on my archos and that the reason I ask you about information of a generic machine emulator and virtualizer.

Running quemu will emulate x86 pc instead of virtualize. Emulation of x86 on ARM is very slow. You can try to install win xp on qemu but it will be slow as hell.

Hi, it doesn't work since it is rebooting to the multiboot menu each time I am trying to boot Debian.
In fact there is a missing file in your archiv since there is no initramfs from your archive.

I have the archos A80S and the touchscreen worked for me. Archos used at least three screens on the g9, so could be you have a different one than me.

hi,
CM11 load tr16c0-i2c for screen,
so I get to debian to do with mouse modprobe tr16c0-i2c

Edit lib/modules-load.d/ts.conf and etc/X11/xorg.conf, change cypress-tma340 to tr16c0-i2c.
Should not access internet as root.
rvsolv.config should be a link to ../run/resolvconf/resolv.conf
etc/hosts should have line 127.0.0.1 archos

To fix network type this in terminal:
Code:
sudo echo >>/etc/group inet:x:3003:debian,root
sudo echo >>/etc/group net_raw:x:3004:debian,root
and reboot.
currently i am working on script which dectect type of touchscreen and update xorg.conf on bootup.
