I am using V4 kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/development/kernel-stock-kernel-root-color-control-t3218958) on stock MRA58N with encryption disabled.
I cannot change resolution using
Code:
wm size 720x1280
after su. It gives the following error:
"Can't connect to window manager; is the system running?"
Do you have any ideas?
and why do you want to connect to windows to do it? there are apps that do it for you, or you can use a terminal emulator app on your phone as well.

I am actually using the terminal emulator. I have also tried the apps in the app store. They don't change anything either.

Hello everyone, I apologize in advance if I've posted this in the wrong section. Ok so here is my problem, I recently got Cyanogen 4.04 (Latest stable release) on my phone. I was gonna try out the overclock app from the App market but it doesn't let me open it because i'm not ROOT. I thought users are always ROOT in modded ROM, are they not? If not then what should I do to ROOT? I used the one click method for root at the begining (to install cyanogen) and Haykuro SPL Update. Thanks.
p.s I am a complete noob so please go slow.
If you have used the 1-Click-Root method, did you follow the steps to type in telnetd using a terminal app? If not then I would go back and re-trace your steps.

Yes I did the telnetd thing. After rebooting clicking on an emptyspace then RETURN, wait, RETURN then telnetd which took me to the contact list. Then Home. Then I went to the terminal app and did the 4 step thing. But I did all that before flashing the Cyanogen for the first time. Now that I have Cynogen installed, if I try to Connect in telnet it gives me an error and if I try to do the 4 step thing in Terminal emulator it says "permission denied. (are you root?)". Please tell me what should I do?

type su into the terminal emulator and see what is says. if you were able to flash a custom rom then your phone is rooted, you could've gotten a bad download.
Download Better Terminal from the Maket and as david mentioned, type in "su" then press enter to see if you have root access.
if nothing pops up upon entering su does that mean a new wipe and install is nessecary??
Reason i ask is i can't get the terminal emulator to work either that came with the build....is it the same thing as better terminal????. I used a one click install and everything is running fine on my 4.0.4 build but i tried earlier as well to install the "overclock" app from market and it wouldn't work. I decided to purchase SetCPU instead for a buck and it works no problem. By the way i have a my touch 3g..

dont think the terminal emulator works w/o a physical keyboard
better terminal will get the job done, but not the same app. You can just use that instead of terminal
but if terminal does work w/o a physical keyboard, when you type su, what does it do?
if it asks to allow or deny, click allow. if you hit always deny, go to the superuser app and erase all settings.
if it doesnt ask anything, when you type su, it should drop one line and have this symbol #

Thanks for the help....
I actually did download better terminal and when i typed in su and hit enter. It went to the screen your talking about and since i had just installed SetCPU it asked if i wished to allow i clicked yes. So i asume i have rooted correctly and guess the "overclocking" program on the market might just not download on my phone correctly with the cyan 4.0.4.
Thanks
Thanks to all of you for your replies. I think I know what the problem was. The OverclockWidget is a Widget...duh silly me. I was trying to open it as a regular app and was failing. Added it as a widget on the first screen and now everything works. I have one quick unrelated question, while downloading the latest experimental release of Cyanogen I read at the bottom of the post in read that the users should not use any Apps2SD while using Cyaogen's latest release because the ROM does it by itself or something like that. What does that mean?
@mikespy- tap and hold for a sec on your screen and add the OverclockWidget widget on your screen then tap to open. That's how you open the OC util.
Hi,
Nook Color CM7 RC1.
I am trying to sideload Google+ apk using adbwireless.
ADB seems to work OK in the PC, adbwireless is active, but I get device not found.
Is there a a tutorial or step-by-step explanation somewhere that explains how to use adb commands?
I come from DOS days, and know how to use command line, but I have very limited experience with Linux.
Thanks for answers

Hi,
Solved the problem myself..
There is no man page, but running 'adb' by itself will print a description of the syntax.
By far the easiest way to do it is to download the apk to your Nook using your Nook's web browser, then navigate to the apk with Astro File Manager, select it and choose "install."

To each his own. And you are titled to your opinion just as i am mine.
downloading an App on a computer storing it to your c:/<android_tools> folder then typing
Code:
adb install -s app_name.apk
is super easy.
most people are scared of ADB because it requires using the dreaded command prompt on your computer. And people are afraid of that.

will install the app onto the sdcard.
-l means forward-lock the app
-r means reinstall the app, keeping its data
-s means install on SD card instead of internal storage

No need to store the app in that folder. I keep my apks in a random one under my documents. When you want to install, just
Code:
adb install "drag the apk into command prompt"
and it will install just fine.

Is it not possible to specify the folder of the apk file in the command line?
Something like:
adb install C:\<app_folder_path>\app_name.apk

Tap menu, Preferences, then input method. Then choose your choice. Hoped it helped
Hello,
I had the same problems with the official Terminal Emulator app. (on android-x86 v2.2 emulated with VirtualBox 6.1 on Mac Os)
Another terminal emulator app from google play store does not help.
Preferences in VirtualBox about "input method" also does not help.
SOLUTION:
Inside the loaded virtual Android -> Settings -> Language and Keyboard Settings :
Disable - LIME keyboard.
Set language to default - English (US)
Then open "Android keyboard settings" and disable all extra features:
Vibrate on keypress
Sound on keypress
Auto-capitalization
Quick fixes
Show suggestions
Save settings (or just close).
Close the running Terminal Emulator app.
Start the Terminal app again and it works!
You can type everything you need with your normal keyboard.
Also you can pass some long command string from your host machine to virtual Android with a command like this:
VBoxManage controlvm YOUR_VM_NAME keyboardputstring "dir c:\\"
I have found it here:
Input -> Keyboard -> "Paste as text (send characters)" - Page 2 - virtualbox.org

It's Android Debug Bridge. Basically, it's a command line interface from your PC to your phone. Think of a terminal emulator that you run on the phone itself. ADB is pretty much the same, but from a PC. It is part of Android SDK. You can also find it included in many installation packages posted here on XDA, e.g. CWM recovery. There is an executable and a couple of DLLs.

Sorry, but i know what it is now, how do i run it though? im trying to follow the htc desire hd guide to root my phone, which everything is done up until the point i have to test that i have root in debug mode. Not sure how to do this? run abd.exe? it just showed me a cmd window which runs and then dissapears.
If you got your phone rooted or want to test it run adb.exe shell the type su and hit enter. If the prompt change from $ to # you have root access

What is likely to be the problem if it says SU permission denied?
If you are on stock, that means that you have no root access. If you have cm10 or cm10.1 you have to enable adb root access somewhere in the settings. I am sorry but I can not tell you at the moment where to enable it because I am on stock right now.

one more question, is busybox is installed, should it show up as an app in the list of apps installed on the nexus 7?
Busybox is not an app and won't show up as one because it isn't something you can run by itself. It is a component that other apps require to run.
