Hello, New to android programming and got ?'s

Hello,
I'm Andy, and I'm a little bit more active on other forums, but I've had my android device since November, and love it. Anyways, I had a couple of ?'s about an app I have in progress and I was wondering if what I want to do is even possible.
Basically, I want to develop a simple app, with just 1 activity. I have the graphics/XML stuff all taken care of already, thats easy peezy stuff.
Next, I want to install a file I include with the app to a specific location of the internal memory. By default, if you install a file included, it goes to /data/data/....., I would like my file to install, to /system/xbin/. I know you would need superuser permissions, thats fine, I was wondering if it was possible. If it is, would someone enlighten me as to how? If it isn't thats still fine, cause I can include the file in a flashable zip.
Next question,
Can I have my app run the file (ie. the equivalent to going into a terminal emulator and navigating to /system/xbin/ and typing the file name?) I ask this, cause all I've found is running files that located within your app, or creating files and editing them. I don't need that, I just want the file to be read.
Next, um, if the above is possible, how do I stop it?
So here is what the app would be:
usb tethering for senseui phones and 2.1. It may not work with all (probably not aria, i don't think that was included), but this method works with the Sprint Hero. I would like to make it idiot proof, as in creating the exploit into an app. One that installs the file onCreate() and then runs it with the first button press, and then kills it on the second button press and maybe adding a menu option to quit the app. Its not an app I would charge for, nor even attempt to distribute on the market. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Samsung Intercept

Will there be a forum for the samsung intercept?

Forum for samsung intercept
I can deal with the un-rooted version, because it's still a great phone for what you pay. However, I have the sprint version of the samsung intercept (assuming there's more than one carrier for this one), and I H-A-T-E all the crap that it comes preinstalled with. I hear people saying that these apps don't take any active RAM, but sysinfo and advanced task manager say otherwise..."sprint zone" is the most nefarious offender...if anyone would develop the root, I would L-O-V-E (guess I'm into spelling to-day) to donate to your efforts.
-Lukewarm Samsung Intercept user/loser.

I really hope we can get a forum for the intercept soon. I know the phone was cheap on contract but its not going to be worth it to me if no one works on a root! Maybe our prayers will be answered soon! *fingers crossed*

PLEASE!!
I just got the samsung intercept and I want to root it.

It would be nice for the Samsung Intercept to have its on forum. The Kernel for it is already out. I don't see why we can't get a little section of our own too. :\

granted i know that this is the bottom of the line android phone but why is it no one will actually root it ? they have already rooted the evo,epic,droid,galaxy s ect..
why is it no one will actually take the time to root the intercept or the moment.
i'm sure it cant be too much different than rooting the epic.
people claim they are going to root it but no one follows through
i dont want to flash the rom

If there won't be a forum for it here, would it be okay for users to post links to sites that have a forum for interecept. I have many questions but no place to ask them and I don't want to fill this thread with them since they don't belong here.

The phone has been rooted now actually. If you go to the sdx developer site you'll see it.

I went there and read the instructions. I am going to try rooting it tonight. Do you know if the amon ra recovery image will work with it? If not, is there an alternative recovery image with similar functionality/options?

I have a friend who has the samsung intercept, and I rooted it using the new one click universal rooter, but it was only a partial root.. The phone is still virtually not rooted... (no Titanium, market access, busybox, tether, etc.) Please help me get this thing fully rooted. He is willing to donate 10 bucks or so.

Why are there no XDA Devs responding?
Weird, its like the twilight zone or something. No support for a newish device. There are far worse phones on here, so not sure what the deal is. Maybe they're all too busy with their sweet new Evo's and the like. I wouldn't want to spend too much time on this one either (I have an Evo), but given people are willing to donate, and aren't asking for anything more than [complete] root, I don't see why not.
I'd like to get this phone for my wife. She won't spend any money and I can get this one for free. I want her on an Android phone to facilitate some mobile functions between the two of us. I see no better way to do it (while staying with Sprint) than with the Instinct. Seems nice enough in the video reviews. She's still using her Instinct! ;-P

All I want is a working recovery. One where I can wipe and not brick this phone. It is possibly the worst piece of junk I've ever layed my hands on. I figured stock would be great for my fiancee, she knows nothing of rooting and wouldn't care if she did. However, the stock ROM that came with this was MISERABLE! (Virgin Mobile, btw, not sure if they did anything different from sprint other than differing bloatware.) That being said, I decided to root the thing for her and see if I would help with the lag issues and other things. Nothing did. All the custom ROMs had an issue where the phone would be so slow I had to pull the battery out to even use it again. It was as if the processor was running at 60MHz and wouldn't get any faster. Superuser would not request permissions for anything except root explorer - everything else automatically were granted access and did not show up in superuser's app list which can be VERY dangerous. Superuser also keept saying it needed to be updated no matter how many times I updated it. Andora ROM wouldn't allow the holding of the power button or it would freeze up. As a final issue, ADB wouldn't recognize it at all. I use ADB for my G2 all the time so I know what I'm doing and I know it's not my PC. It would recognize it in recovery but any command would fail and the device would become unrecognizable again until i issued "adb kill-server." Again, though, any command make the phone unrecognizable.
Now I like the phone for the budget qualities and virgin mobile's plans (great when you're super short on money) and the fact that they have an Android phone so you can still enjoy the greatness of Android on a budget, and I don't even want anything extreme out of this phone other than for it to just work like Android should.
Thank you to all the devs who have devved for this phone so far, and they've came a looooong way and I agree it's better than when I opened the box, but we need a working recovery at least. Yes, the recovery gets the job done but it needs some serious work and at least a working recovery. I think a lot of ROM issues come from not being able to wipe.
I'm not blaming any one for all my issues, I know the devs work hard for nothing but donations and I thank them greatly for that. Its not even really the custom ROMs as it is just the phone. I read up on it before purchasing and saw it had a good amount of RAM and a 800MHz processor and thought this phone was actually going to be able to compare to a G2 (speed-wise) but boy was I wrong. I'm feeling extreme buyers remorse and everything said above was just me getting it off my chest. I actually didn't plan to root it at all. My fiancee doesn't do anything really other than text, play some games, get on facebook, and occasionally look up things on google. The phone does all these extremely well but has so much instability in between doing these things that every time she picks it up it is unknown if she's going to be able to do any of them without the phone crashing or lagging so bad she has to pull the battery.
If we can get this phone running and VANILLA Android, such as cyanogenmod or just a goold-ol-fashioned AOSP build, I think it would be a great phone with much more potential is has now.

wait, so the intersept now has a forum, but not the TRANSFORM? messed up...

the intercept also has 2.2 as of today!!!!!!

r3s-rt - the biggest issue is samsung and their RFS filesystem and their proprietary drivers; which is a huge fail to porting over to AOSP or cyanogenmod... plus, there aren't that many devs (they're all working on the higher tiered phones...)

What file system would need to be used for it to be easiest?

Froyo Update
My Samsung Intercept updated to Froyo 2.2 this morning.

I got pushed the 2.2 update but it failed due to my custom inxane recovery, going to revert it to stock and try it again my brothers is on 2.2 and it pushes the stock android theme as well so no more crappy customized theme!

Not sure if this is the place to ask this question, but I will go ahead. 2 Months ago I got the intercept with a new sprint contract. I instantly wanted to root it, but decided to wait for the froyo update. Well, now I have the official froyo update up and running (SOOOO much better!!!!) so I decided to work on rooting it. First problem I had was the USB drivers. over the course of about a week, I discovered that the drivers work fine so long as you don't plug it into your PC through a USB hub (internal OR external). I followed the instructions in sprintdroids. (I read the entire thread several times hoping to learn from other people's experience). I tried both the official samsung drivers and the ones posted with PDAnet. I also tried both the one click root listed elsewhere on this site as well as SuperOneClick. The one click root gave me the following output:

Yes, USB debugging was ON and my screen was not locked.
SuperOneClick did nothing and said my phone was rooted. I am unable to perform any root functions (one touch reboot, delete bloatware, overclock, etc.) therefore I do not believe I am rooted.
I am running Windows XP Media Center Edition. I get the same results no matter which driver I use. Any suggestions?

The easiest way to get root right now would be to either use the one click that's available for the intercept over on sdx-developers.com or to flash a rooted kernel like slapkernel v1.1.

gps conf ... HELP !!!

Hello. I am too having problems with the GPS fix. I googled, i have read fora, i wrote on fora, i have read even the facebook desire hd page where people from all over the world have the same problem with the GPS.
I have tried EVERYTHING, now the last chance is to change the region from the gps conf file....which i can remember being northamerica, while i live in europe. Maybe changing that to EUROPE will help me fix the gps problem.
To save changes to that file, i would need root access. I don't have root access. I don't need root access, i just want to change that file and see if the gps gets the fix faster than before....other than that, i have never wanted root access.
So, knowing my target....which is the most simple way to change that .conf file? I know that the visionary tool doesn't work anymore with froyo desire hd....so i can't root the phone...other methods look really complicated to me. there should be a way to edit the GPS file without doing a mess with roms and downgrades and everything...
please help !!!

You need root access to edit the file, there's no other solution that I know of. If you decide to root, use FasterFix from market to change the region.

Unable to use Visionary due to your build number is more than 1.3xxxxxxx?
You do not have any other option other than to root your device in order you to alter system files. Even if you download FasterFix in the market, you will need to have Superuser permission before the app can directly change system files for you.
If your build number is higher than 1.3xxxxxx, then you have to do a downgrade.
GPS performance has been affecting me in the past, but now i have found a solution(not sure yet, but it works for me until now). Now I got a fix within 5-15 seconds. At most is 30 seconds for the first fix.
Anyway, you should consider rooting. You can have full access throughout your device. My phone previous, battery life can last for a day, now at least two days. I am running different ROM and Kernel thats why.
Cheers dude. =)

It is a part of \etc, definately will need a root access to grant you access to the file.

ok could you link me to a really SIMPLE tutorial to do that? of course i think i'll have to do a hard reset? lose all my saved games and screen configurations.... sigh i just did a hard reset for the same reason (gps)....
and what about new rom and so on? do i have to use another rom in order to root the phone? what does that change ? any rom to recommend?

You don't need root access to modify gps.conf.
Use FasterFix.
Use it two times (open Fasterfix, select europe, apply, then do these steps once again).
Fasterfix will return an error both times, but if you open gps.conf from a file manager like ASTRO) you'll see that file had been changed.
After a while, Android reverts automatically gps.conf to notrh america ntp.
Didn't pay much attention to this, so i don't really know if Android reverts file on reboot or even without reboot.

i actually used faster fix, but as soon as i do anything, it says 'required root access' and doesn't do anything !! is that the error you're talking about ?
EDIT: i tried again...start faster fix: can't get root. change to europe = root access required. the gps.conf (i checked) is still on north-america.pool server ((

What are you talking about? You can't change system files without root and the app description clearly states that you need root access and busybox. It's not there to fool people is it?
@rogermorse
btw, are you using a case?

I AM using a case but even without case no difference, i tried many times.
i'm trying to root the phone...already on the first step i'm blocked: android developer kit doesn't find java SDK 64 bit....i googled and other people have this problem, i can't fix it, it just keeps saying that java was not found....OMG i had never thought rooting a phone would have been that difficult....i think i'll surrender and never use the gps in my life.
the installer of android SDK stops because it doesn't find java SDK. if i unzip the SDK, at the exit it says the same thing. I was able to make windows recognize the phone in debug mode as ADB interface....but then the
adb shell /data/local/tmp/psneuteradb shell
says 'not found'. anyway the java has something wrong with the android SDK that, as i said, keeps telling me that cannot find the java. i already entered the path in user variables...

[GUIDE] Enable ad-hoc tethering on your Transformer (needs root!)

Update: If you are using the official firmware 8.6.5.9 (and obviously above) or any custom ROM based on it, you don't have to do anythink described here, because ad-hoc works natively. Thankfully ASUS fixed Googles unintelligible inability to enable connection to ad-hoc networks.
This renders this thread pretty much obsolete, but I won't delete it, just in case anyone doesn't want to or cannot update his device for whatever reason
Hi!
As there are only [Q]uestion threads about ad-hoc tethering by now, I thought I'd write a little guide how to enable it on our Transformer.
edit: If you are using Prime v1.5 (and above I guess), you don't have to do this. Roach2010 already included the modified wpa_supplicant, so you can already use ad-hoc tethering.
All credits and many thanks go to szym for the edited wpa_supplicant that makes ad-hoc possible for us!
!!! Always make a nandroid backup via recovery first! You can then reflash your backup if something fails !!!
I. Via root explorer (obviously requires root access):
If you bought root explorer from the market, you should be able to easily copy and replace the file.
1.) Go to /system/bin and copy the file „wpa_supplicant“ to your sd card as a backup.
2.) Then copy the „wpa_supplicant“ from the attached zip file and paste it into /system/bin.
3.) Long press the file and set permissions to rwxr-xr-x, like this:
User: read, write, execute
Group: read, execute
Others: read, execute
4.) Reboot
Finally tried it myself and works fine
II. Alternative method via adb (requires root access):
This is a forwarded guide from the Xoom section. I tried it myself and it works like a charm. You can find it here.
All credits for the following guide go to kelvie !
1.) Your Transformer has to be rooted! (you'll find a guide how to root here)
2.) Make a backup of your system/bin/wpa_supplicant first!
3.) Unpack the attached wpa_supplicant_xoom_wifi_adhoc.zip file to your adb folder. (if you don't know how to use adb, google for one of the many guides, or look below for another option via root explorer )
4.) push the file to system/bin/wpa_supplicant:
Code:
adb remount
adb push system/bin/wpa_supplicant /system/bin/wpa_supplicant
5.) Because zipfiles don't store permission, you have to make it executable as well:
Code:
adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/wpa_supplicant
6.) You also have to change the permissions on /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf for some reason:
Code:
adb shell chown system.wifi /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
7.) reboot
Again, many thanks to kelvie for the guide!
III. Easiest method (requires ClockWorkMod recovery and root):
1.)Download the attached CWM_adhoc_wpa_supplicant_TF101.zip to your sd-card. Make sure to copy it to /Removable/MicroSD, because /mnt/sdcard cannot be accessed from CWM
2.) Boot into CWM recovery.
3.) Hit "install zip from sdcard" --> "choose zip from sdcard", select the zip and confirm.
4.) Reboot
Done. You should now be able to tether your ad-hoc connection
This method doesn't seem to work because I missed an option and don't know right now how to fix it. So if somebody knows how to do this via edify script, please help me out:
Code:
chown system.wifi /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
Use one of the methods above in the meantime, they works flawless.

Q&A
Q: Which app should I use for tethering on my phone? Do I need root access for tethering apps?
A: If your phone doesn't support native tethering, just search the Android Market for 'Wifi tether'. There are a lot of apps for that . I tested Barnacle Wifi Tether on my Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 with 2.3.4 MIUI ROM, which worked fine, but I guess all/most tether apps should work fine now. And yes, unless you have native tethering, your phone has to be rooted.
Q: Barnacle gives me the following error on the phone: "DHCP could not bind to DHCP port, address already in use", and my TF is stuck at "obtaining IP Address from barnacle". What should I do?
A: rpavich has found a solution for that. Thanks rpavich!
rpavich said:
1. Change SSID to whatever you want
2. Change Channel to 6
3. Custom Wifi Ad-hoc to none
4. Skip wpa_supplicant checked
5. Restart your phone (just to make sure...)

No need to wait, you could just try it. If you back up your original wpa_supplicant first, you can always undo your changes. I also added an easier way via root explorer that should be easier.

i just tried it, it connected to barnacle wifi but i couldnt get the internet to work. ill try again tomorrow, it may be my phone.

Did your phone show the barnacle symbol in the notification bar and tell you that a device is connected?
Sent from my rooted X10i using awesome custom roms

I've done this last week and noticed when stopping my hotspot on the phone the connection on the transformer shows it is still connected. So you have to manual disconnect if you want to reconnect again for later use. This is on my Nokia N8 Phone using JoikuSpot.

I tried to do this via the root explorer and it said "you cannot paste here because the file system is read only"

On the top of your system directory in root explorer is a button, that says r/w. Push it and you'll get read/write mode.

Yes, the barnacle symbol was in the notification bar and my TF appeared on the 'client' tab, also the TF said that it was connected to barnacle wifi.
I'm going to try again now
EDIT: Worked perfectly this morning, thanks!
I did it via root explorer FYI

This seems like a rather minor change to wpa_suppliant.conf; any clue if google will fix this in honeycomb? Not sure I understand why it isn't enabled by default...

Ok...trouble getting this to work.
1.) On my Xperia X10; message in Barnacle:
"DHCP could not bind to DHCP port, address already in use"
2.) On my TF: it's stuck at "obtaining IP Address from barnacle"

Ok....found the solution (on another XDA forum section)
I did the following and connected just fine!
1. Change SSID to whatever you want
2. Change Channel to 6
3. Custom Wifi Ad-hoc to none
4. Skip wpa_supplicant checked
5. Restart your phone (just to make sure...)

I don't have a clue either why this isn't enabled by default, but I think they'll add this in the 3.1 update. But it's just a suggestion, didn't read anything about it though.

I used this method from my rooted OG Droid and the Xoom and it worked perfectly. I have to wait for my son in law to root my TF to try it out. Would I only need to root the TF for this to work?

At the moment you need to root both your TF and your phone. But if you use Clockworkmod, you probably don't need a rooted TF, because I'm preparing an update.zip to flash via CWM
Your phone has definitely to be rooted, ecxept it supports wifi tethering from stock.
edit: darn, amend scripting is no longer supported in Honeycomb. Anyone knows how to change the zip for edify scripting?
edit2: ok, probably got it solved. we'll see...

Ok, I added a zip file for easy install through ClockWorkMod to the OP. It installed fine on my TF101 and tethering works, but please backup your wpa_supplicant before installing this and report any errors. I didn't work with edify scripts before
I also restructured the guide itself, from easiest to most complicate method
Cheers

Would this mod work with an old TP2 windows mobile phone? Will the TF then be able to use it's wifi signal?
Also, if the TF is rooted, will we be able to accept the 3.1 HC update?

Order and chaos on Galaxy Note (N7000)

Hey guys,
So I finally got around to getting this mess sorted out with trying to get Order and Chaos working on my Galaxy Note and it runs great once you actually get 'around' the device checking nonsense.
I do actually own an Android Market and a Gameloft Store license for the game as well as have a subscription but unfortunately neither of these files will actually work due to the in-place device checking.
Unfortunately I cannot tell you where to download these files but the following are the two files you need:
- Order-and-Chaos-v1.0.8-approb.com.apk
- GloftMMHM-snapdragon-approb.com.rar
Once you have both of those files you need to copy the Order-and-Chaos-v1.0.8-approb.com.apk file to your phone via whatever method you usually use, then extract the GloftMMHM-snapdragon-approb.com.rar file to your computer, connect your phone to the computer via USB and copy the files you extracted to the following directory:
/Android/data/com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftMMHM
Unfortunately this copy of Order and Chaos will start in non-English mode, you can change this simply by tapping the bottom right button which will open the "Settings" menu. From there, select the bottom option and tap the American flag.
Congratulations! You now have a working copy of Order and Chaos on your Galaxy Note.
I have created a forum thread on the gameloft forums pointing out that this is a major inconvenience and such complex work-arounds should not be necessary to use a game which works perfectly on a device of my choosing for a game I have a license for.

Hopefully this helps some of you folks trying to get this working!
Note: The same strategy as outlined above should still work and is reported to work but I have stopped bothering with this game. If a developer can't be bothered to implement a simple fix like this, in an MMORPG no less, they don't deserve my hard earned money. Also, if you can't manage to find the files using Google, keep looking! They're literally insanely easy to find if you just look for the filenames - use your noggin' - don't expect xda-developers to do *everything* for you

Good job!
Developers need to stop this nonsense.

O M G!
It works like a charm... : O Thank you very much for this, have been searching soo much for just THIS
Sweet Jesus im playin, bye

No problem! Yeah I was searching for this like crazy so decided to just bite the bullet and try various things until something worked!

Thanks! Been constantly searching since I got my Note on how to get this game to work. It's unfortunate that "piracy" is the only way to play it for now but hopefully gameloft opens their eyes and makes the proper changes. Like you, I also own two copies on my Android device and also own a copy for my now sold iPhone 4. I have paid for subscription and have not been able to play it since my note doesn't support it. Again thank you for your efforts and I'll see you online hehehe

Hi,
I have copied the rar contents to the correct path (I am sure because when I uninstall app, this folder is deleted)
but still I get the "your device is not compatible" error when I launch the game.
What is it that I am doing wrong ?

Try To delete the whole Gameloft Folder on your internal SD Card. Helped me so far

If you connect your Phone (With USB Debugging activated) On the Internal SD (where you have the android Folder, the exernal_Sd Folder etc.)
And there you should have a gameloft folder and you should delete the whole folder: )

there's just one gameloft folder on my Note:
\Android\data\com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftMMHM
what else can I do ?

I'd appreciate any help..

So you Delete This Folder and then you go back to the SD Root and search for a Gameloft Folder (Right where Android is)
\Gameloft\
If you have it... delete it.. if you dont have. Delete the other Folder, Restart Phone, Plugin Usb and copy the Data THEN
If its not working delete it again, Restart Phone, Copy Data back to phone and download the apk from the side where you downloaded the Files and Start the apk yourself then...
Hope it works out for you

Thanks!!
Thanks a million for the info Chris! Works like a charm

The way I got it working was....when I had my GS2 I backed it up with Titanium Backup and then restore it on Note...works flawless...since it won't appear on Market with Note.

Hi,
Thanks for getting us this amazing game!
I got both the required files and placed in the right path.
Been trying all the delete/restart/load and still can't get it to work on my Note...
Anything else need to be check?
-cheers

no matter what I do, my Note connects to internet and checks for files. Then the game says my device is not compatible.
any suggestions ?

any idea guys ?

i can buy pay time from market with that method?? , tx

I assume you guys are extracting the RAR file and placing the files in the path specified, right? If so, try downloading the files to see what the directory name created is, then replace the files in that folder with the files you downloaded in the RAR file and relaunch the game.
As for buying game time - no sadly that doesn't work but I'm afraid this was the best I could find and since I already had a month or so left it hasn't been a problem for me (yet.)
