hello to all, i have just discovered this site and have as a result got the s200, WOW, all the knowledge and info here is amazing, thanks to all...!!
Regarding the .rar extension file for the PPC programmes, i have downloaded it but what are the instructions for a newbie such as myself, how can i chck for viruses and what are the steps i need to trf prgrms to S200? I did a search and have d/loaded winrar from downloads.com, what now??
Thnx to all,
a.

according to the unwritten, but still applying rules of every discussion forum and/or community which are used to discuss only legal things everybody should know, that this archive file mostly contains cracked warez and/or serial numbers for the provided software.
So the offer, download and/or use of this archive file is definitly illegal and the moderators should think about to delete this file/post/thread.
Remember to install linux on your pda if you want to use really free software instead of using such cracked warez or serial numbers which is really not fair.

Linux can be installed on Prophet ?
How to ? I know its supports ARM processor but no idea about bootloader & stuff.

I 100% agree with you on the cracked software issue, but:

I don't think such drastic measures are required.
A) There are linux versions only for certain models of PDAs.
B) It's not as simple as installing on desktop PC so it's definitely not for average user.
C) There are sites like www.pocketpcfreeware.com that offer thouthands of legally free apps for PDAs.
a in yul:
Any legal / trustworthy software comes with an installer which runs on your PC and automatically installs the app to your device (it has to be synchronized).
It is still a good idea to have an antivirus on your PC (not so good to have one on your PDA) such as Norton or Kaspersky to check any file you download.
Finlay, many free apps come simply as a cab file. You need to copy that to your device, open file explorer and click on the file to install the software.
Any way, I think you should stay away from this rar. Even if you don't care whether the software you use is legal or not, downloads like this often contain very nasty surprises that may damage you PC.
The weird thing is, whats Skype doing on that list???

The thing with linux on the prophet was more a little joke than a serious note.
I'm one of the greatest linux defender or better advocat and I'm using absolutly no windows anymore now since nearly seven years.
Now I've bought this XDA Neo three weeks ago and I'm really sad that I now have a windows again... but well, that doesn't really matter as long as it works. And it works until now.
And I've not seen any blue screen until now.
But there was one little serious sidenote:
The only chance to get really free software (which doesn't mean gratis or free of charge at all) is to use Linux as OS and to install OpenSource software which is distributed under the GPL(2).

thanks a bunch...

Since we got into the whole linux issue:
1) Open source is not limited to linux apps. Two great examples of it for Windows Mobile devices are TCPMP (video player that supports many formats including divx5) and Calendar Plus (a powerful today plugin with many options)
2) Linux on PDAs may not be as developed as on PC, but it is certainly not a joke (I understand you were joking, but there is some serious development being done). You may want to look here:

Granted, there isn't a working linux installation for the Prophet (AFAIK) but maybe one day.

Well, sure it isn't limited only to linux or linux apps.
But You'll not be able to build a complete system with all needed apps just only with free opensource apps on windows (doesn't matter which version) or any other operation system, except linux/unix.
You'll have to pay at least for the operation system itself.
But sure, I know what you mean and I'm with you. There's many free software for other operating systems too.

yepp, I know that there are several projects which are trying to port linux to pdas. And as soon as there's a nearly useable version which runs on the prophet, I'll be the very first person who'll try it out.

Did you wake up late yesterday and miss the several other posts about this? Clearly if you think it "works perfectly," this post doesn't surprise me, lol. It won't transfer any file except the formats it wants you to transfer, it doesn't integrate well with iTunes aside from music, and it puts movies in "Videos" directory, which is completely counter to everything Android does... a good early beta, but certainly far from "perfectly"

I haven't gotten my Tab yet, but will this be essential if I am to root via my Mac? (i.e., will adb connect or see the device on the Mac without the new Kies beta?)

Not sure, you should probably ask that in the rooting thread. I'm fairly certain ADB is generic, but the drivers might not work for Mac to enable your mac to be able to ADB into your Samsung. I have always used Parallels or Vmware Fusion to install windows and handle all my rooting needs. There's better support on the forums for windows rooters, so I just use windows on my mac when I need to root.

Not a bad idea for a worst case scenario. I already have Parallels on my iMac so I suppose if I had to I could use that...its just I'd have to relearn the ins and outs of rooting since I've always used the Mac side of things for rooting, and it took me forever to get the hang of that.

Well the process is the same, but before you can connect to a usb device your computer has to have the drivers... and Samsung is a bit different so it can be a little more challenging to get it to recognize the device. I hear people do it I'm just not willing to take the extra steps needed when compared to just booting into winblowz.

So you mean you hear of people getting it to work on a Mac only what you're saying is you find it easier to just use Parallels instead?
And on that note, if I did do my rooting via Parallels I would still need to acquire the drivers for the Tab from Samsung, yes?

So I had another member in another thread reply to me about this topic saying he/she suggests getting a copy of Windows and using Boot Camp rather than Parallels, saying that he never had luck using Parallels for this sort of thing. Did you ever run into any difficulties in this way (i.e. getting drivers to load, getting devices to be recognized, etc??)?

fyi...I installed this on my mbp and while transferring some avi's which were about 800-900MB in size, the app would repeatedly crash on me.
Afterwards, i tried to copy about 800 pics from my mac to the tab using kies and midway through, the app crashed again.
The way I got around this ''feature' is I started copying files in increments of 100 pics. this went fine.
With regards to the avi, the file copy was successful on my 4th attempt.
before the 4th attempt, I rebooted my mac and also the tab just to be sure...
suffice to say, I'm glad I did not buy the tab for myself. The person I bought it for owns only win xp pc's and my hope is that kies behaves much much better on a pc than on a mac...

Never really had an issue, you just have to understand how port virtualization works, and how some devices want a more "real" port so you have to establish the connection, set as default to parallels, then re-establish that connection. Parallels will never be as solid as installing windows and natively booting to it, but it's pretty good.

Mine pissed me off for the final time today, so I returned the tab. I love the device, love the idea of Android on a tablet, but I just can't do it with it being so early in it's development. Not having 1-click sync with iTunes, and easy support of a wide variety of movies without having to convert just kills it for me. Maybe in 6 months I'll try again.

still a beta
After I transfer a word document from mac to SGT10.1 via Kids, I was not able to find that document in NY tablet. Does Anybody know where it might be?

Well I just received my tab, and Ive tried connecting and carrying out the instructions in the "Retail 3.1 CWM Recovery, Root & full back up" thread, but I've run into an immediate problem - after getting into APX mode, then plugging in via USB, Windows XP in Parallels is not recognizing the tab (it isn't showing up in the device manager). I know APX is successful, because I got a popup on my mac asking where the APX device should be opened (either in Windows or on the Mac). But unfortunately in the device manager it is nowhere to be found. Any tips or tricks on making this happen? I really know nothing about port virtualization

i'm so screwed up. i thought they never had the problem solved so today i finally installed boot camp. then i opened windows web browser to download it and saw the word "for Mac". I feel such a shame for myself. but I am indeed happy about that lol. DAMN. I am so depressed for my dumbness.

is that normal to see "GTxxxx doesn't support firmware update" ??

I continued a bit the Ubuntu 0.3 project from dcordes and i think i achieved some enhancements^^
But i also need some help to upload this version cause i am currently on a 16kb/s
upload line and to upload some gigs over weeks would **** me up. I can send it
via mail to someone who is interrested in and has enough bandwith to upload it
(preferable from germany or europe)
Thanks to all the people who made the HD2 so awesome,
Cotulla, XDA ppl, DFT ppl, HTClinux, dcordes, hopkinskong, bardzusny and everyone else involved !
If you want to spend me a beer, you can do this here.
What works:
- Booting via Magldr
- Landscape Display orientation
- usb host
- Haret booting (thanks to the Help of Robbie P look at page 8 of this thread for the files)
- Touchscreen,
(with a relative not absolute pointer, feels much more like using a pc than a phone...)
- Wifi with encryption
- 3G network connection, sim-pin needs to be disabled !
(about 350kb/s on my network, maybe even
higher somewhere else need testers soon !
- Audio/audio player,
(The Kernel was compiled with 48.000 kHz in the
Alsa config what results in a "too fast sound" this
problem was also mentioned in the 0.1 Debian Thread.
Workaround i found for at least listen to normal Music
Was to pitch the sound to normal via AlsaPlayer.
but beside this, the player is very stable and takes
just a small amount of cpu-time)
- Audio Outputs
(Loudspeaker, Phonespeaker or Headphones)
- The Hardware Controls
(Display Brightness, LEDs etc)
- x11VNC Server
(not the fastest one due to workarounds, but still usable)
- PwnPi & Backtrack Tools
(not all but most atm)
- dpms
(..and its also possible to switch off the backlight,
so if someone finds a cool way to start a script on
the beginning of the screensaver and another script on
the end, it would be very helpful to extend the battery life)
- The common ubuntu stuff
What doesnt work:
- Monitor Mode for bc5329
(I was able to load the arm-compiled firmware from https://code.google.com/p/bcmon/
Wireshark captured some packets but wicd was not able to see networks anymore.., more
testing needed, experimental)
- Phone Feature,
(no calls no sms/mms sPhone stills needs to be loaded or 3g network wouldnt work
Edit: PlatinumBox wrote me that he can see incoming calls)
- Bluetooth,
(kernel side looking ok, but the rest is incomplete)
- Battery Stats
(no percentage, no recharging)
- Video Player
(Without Audio it looks delicious with Xine, even in
fullscreen, but due to the Audio problem mentioned before
it has desynchronized and laggy sound)
- Hardware keys,
(Kernel side ok but the xorg.conf and xinput settings are not correct)
- Second Mouse Button
(hope someone finds a better solution than the dwell applet, or get the hardware keys working !)
Not testet:
- usb eth
- adb
- vga out
- gps
- proximity
- cam
- mic
The Project needs:
- Kernel Developers (urgent)
- People who are familiar with implementing the msm/qsd x.org driver
- People who are able to crosscompile for arm's
- Developers that have good tools or scripts to embed
- Pentesters who want to contribute some toolchains and methods
- Designers / Webdesigners
- Translators
- People who are able to fix s.th.
If you want to enter the project, write me a pm with what you
can do and maybe some links to s.th. you have done.*
Installation:
I recommend everyone to rename the first FAT Partition of the SD card to "SD" or many things wont work !
(this should be done externally and not in the phone because ubuntu sets the mount points on boot time !)
You need the Magldr on your HD2
Extract all files from the downloaded archive "linux.zip" to the directory "linux" on your sd card
Set the right "Android from SD" folder in Magldr (SD/linux), select "Boot AD from SD"
The package "connman" should be deinstalled because its consuming too much cpu and doesn't work well together
with wicd, the wifi autoconnect after boot was also affected by this.
Password for both accounts is still "ubuntu"
Be careful what you install, it has Debian and Ubuntu repos. In some cases the "Force Version" Option helps
To get the Wifi working you need the drivers from here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?6l365qz2jvc5hqh
- extract the two files (fw_bcm4329.bin & bcm4329.ko)
- move them to the root folder of your SD-Card
- boot up ubnhd2
- go to gnome-menu -> Stuff -> System -> bcd-res-upd
- take option 7 (Import ... from SD)
- takes a second
- Press the wifi-signal in the dock
- answer the dialog with ok
- after the vibration signal from the wifi script the networks can be
configured by clicking the icon in the menubar (wicd app)

Welcome to the forum zo1d.
It looks great.
I can upload it in uk, and can Private Message you an address. Unless any German people come forward.
Not sure who the moderator is for this forum, try Poyensa, always very helpful.

United States of Leobuntu?
Welcome, zo1d, and thanks for your continuing this project.
I am looking forward very much to try out this on my HD2.
I believe the continued work on booting Linux desktop OS on our device is the next wave of exciting breakthroughs. This is the only way our HD2 already can successfully output to a monitor through USB to VGA/DVI cable, so I always am excited on any advancements on this front.
If shipping to US is feasible, I can upload it rapidly, it would be my pleasure to help.
Thanks again for this - the screenshot looks awesome, keep the fight going.

Open source, how don't love this?
Well some ideas for you my dear, you can try port ubuntu 12.04 with Unity 2D from lovely version for Nexus 7 and n900, if I can help tell me how

Why porting ? its already ARM compiled, but the problem is that the kernel i currently use (2.6.32.15)
is too old and misses the msm/qsd x.org driver. so without a fresh baked kernel i dont see reason to play around with 12.04..
I already got Ubuntu 11.4 working but there will never be a proper touschscreen input in landscape mode because
of a bug in the xinput version, the swap.axis option will not work.
btw. anyone using a kernel with sources/patches from here: git.tiamat-dev.com/htc-kernel-msm8x50 ?

I don't use Ubuntu on HD2, but we must have any app for manual change direction of screen.
Hmm did you cantry port n900 kernel ?

hey
i'm from germany and can it upload for you pm me!
mfg

Whats about putting it on on sourceforge to make it easier for others to continue the project.
The current wifi firmware isnt open source so it has to be copied to sd-card and would be copied
into the system via script.
Another option would be bcmon.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
but i couldnt get wicd working properly with it maybe someone can recompile it with a older
version of gcc.

¡Great work! It is the best S.O. that HD2 can received now that Windows Phone 7 is discontinued for Microsoft. I waiting updates very exciting.
I´m from Spain, send you my email for upload files

i think desktop os is very good for using , but ubuntu hasnt updated for one year . i really look forward to ur finally release! thanks very.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using xda app-developers app

Small update, i will send the current version to andikicker, btw thanx for helping out dude !, on the beginning of the next week, thanx also to Robbie P for the fast and helpful answers, nice community here. I also have a new screenshot with some new enhancements.
Some icons look a bit grey in the screenshot, but on the Screen of the HD they are white !
The touchscreen is configured to act relative and not absolute, this is to avoid having the thumb over the pointer and makes the navigation in small menus much easier and faster.
New are the MediaPlayer Controls in the Panel, and the Hardware Controls in the Menubar
Hope everybody have fun with !

has someone uploaded it yet??

Great work zo1d..
this would be just the perfect system for hd2!! hope to have a link soon.. really dying to get hold of this build!!!

Request for USBNet.
Thanks a lot for this job, Zo1d.
I wanna request, if possible, the inclussion of the module that allows connecting a USB Ethernet adapter (I think its name is "USBNet"); another Ubuntu versions I found for HD2 did not have it .
I think it would be useful, since my HTC would become nearly a minibarebone.
Thanks.

I just cant test it atm (still need to build or buy the "usb-out" cable, but good idea ! i have a usb2eth dongle here, RTL8150 so maybe looking next weeks for the adapter and a powered usb-hub). If it doesn't has to be implemented into the kernel, it shouldn't be a problem to integrate it in this build but as i said i cannot test it.

I just cant test it atm (still need to build or buy the "usb-out" cable, but good idea ! i have a usb2eth dongle here, RTL8150 so maybe looking next weeks for the adapter and a powered usb-hub). If it doesn't has to be implemented into the kernel, it shouldn't be a problem to integrate it in this build but as i said i cannot test it. Upload it somewhere and/or send me the link and i do my best.

I don't have any uploadable module, sorry .
I mentioned it because I requested equivalent network features for Ubuntu on this thread:

(read post #582 )
Maybe this page of that thread could help? Some people answer about it.
I hope I am not going off-topic.

Needs a kernel object.. found it here http://git.tiamat-dev.com/htc-kernel-msm8x50/tree/drivers/net/usb?h=android-msm-2.6.32-increciblec
I got this phone a month ago and need much more time for stuff like this, due to the fact that wifi works, usb-net
doesn't have a high priority atm, but it would be very nice if it will work someday i agree...

Does an equivalent of i-FunBox exist for Android?

I hate the way MTP in general is so slow and clunky on my Windows 7, and my Wifi is a crapshoot much of the time so wifi transfer solutions like AirDroid don't really do the trick, especially with large files.
It's quite astounding that a program like i-FunBox for my old iPhone 4 can transfer files back and forth across phone and PC at blazing fast transfer speeds, when I thought Android had matured enough to do exactly the same.
I know there's an official transfer program for Mac, but what about for Windows users? I'd rather do all my transferring through a USB cable and with the speedier transfer connection that should be possible without having MTP in the way. Isn't there anything that could read/mount an ext2/ext4/whatever filesystem as easily?
Maybe I need some special drivers....

What USB port type on the machine you are using? 12 or 3 ?
If I connect up in mass storage mode mines rocket fast...

Try the Wondershare MobileGo program. Might be what your looking for.

Windows has terrible ext4 support. I'd suggest you install a beginner distro of GNU/Linux. GNU/Linux usually uses ext4 by default so I think you could figure out a way to mount your nexus from there. Haven't personally tried it though, so I don't really know if it's possible, but it's a better shot than using windows.
If you're a beginner to GNU/Linux, I'd suggest a distro called Gentoo. It's the best of the best for beginners, so install Gentoo now.

Seriously though, if your Wifi is crap, you can try to create a Wifi hotspot with your phone (assuming you have a capable phone), and use this network for file transfer.

Gentoo is complicated as hell! There is no GUI setup to install it, you need quite a lot of linux knowledge to install and use gentoo.
It is a 'beginner' distro in a way where you do learn a lot about linux with it, that is, if you want to. It takes a lot of time and effort though.
The actual beginner distros are Mint and Ubuntu (go for LTS (long term support) with ubuntu, the latest version is buggy as hell).
Mint is based on ubuntu, so software and tips, tweaks for ubuntu also apply to mint.
If you want a distro just for the sake of syncing with N7, go for mint. It's lightweight, fast, and quite simple to use.
Be careful if installing on SSD, you need to make some adjustments: google 'mint/ubuntu ssd'

I have had a Jail broke iPhone for 2 years and often use i-funbox to transfer files as I hate iTunes. I recently acquired my nexus 7 and love being able to just open it as a drive in My Computer (I use XP). I was astonished how much faster the nexus transfers files. A typical 750 mb file will take 15 mins with ifunbox but 1-2 mins with nexus (I think my XP box only has USB 1.0! it is ten years old).
Transfer using my iPhone hotspot is also impressively fast....I use ES file explorer to browse shared folders on the XP box.
(I have tried to get Ubuntu running dual boot on the machine (it has a32 GB drive so just about room) it worked OK, but I had difficulty with the drivers for the very legacy Nvidia graphics card, which i'm too much of a Linux noob to overcome). We will meet again, Linux, we will meet again,...........this isn't over.

Have you tried DroidManager?

Linux on tv box

I'd like to use some sort of linux distribution on an old tv box. The box is based on the Amlogic AML-8726-m3 processor and has four USB ports and a cardreader. I was not able to find something about a ported os, but maybe you can help me to port it on my own.

I applaud that you want to recycle something and I don't want to be a party pooper, but wouldn't you be better off with a Raspberry Pi?
The Amlogic is an old single core processor. OTOH, availability of RPi is poor now.

Sure, but I don't want to pay 60-100€ for a RasPi Zero 2w. And I think, the processor would be powerful enough for simple office usage.

The Raspberry Pi Zero 2W lists for $15.
Micro Center used to sell in-person, limit one, Pi Zero for $5, Pi Zero W for $10.
Since I lived nearby I used to buy one every time I dropped in.
Since you're quoting in Euros, I'll presume that you're not in the US.
If you were I might be inclined to drop you an RPi in the mail.

I'm living in Germany. The Raspberry Pi is out of stock in every shop. You could only buy it on Amazon for very high prices (https://www.amazon.de/Raspberry-Pi-Zero-2-W/dp/B09KLVX4RT/). I hope that the prices are dropping soon, but since they are very high at the moment, I have to use alternatives, like my old tv box.

Hi, it is possible to use the app Termux to install Qemu package to then be able to install a Linux distro. I wish it was easy as said, done, but if you have time I wrote a guide that could help to teach the basics of gettting qemu up and running. I haven't made a preinstalled linux machine yet but have a couple windows machines built on there as demos.
The guide is structured using Nox android emulator, but would work on most android devices that can run termux https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...r-android-devices-windows-10-nox-lab.4481613/
Also note that there are lots of premade linux distros for termux, my guide is for those that want to program their own. If you want to save yourself the time though you could search for prebuilt termux linux machines

This sounds good, but I would like to install linux directly to the flash chip, because of the better performance. However, the device is running only Android 4. If it is not possible, to port linux to the device, virtualization would be better than using Android.

I completely understand, I too am trying to learn how to flash directly onto my shield's drive! In my limited knowledge, it would seem that our major limitation would be with the bootloader that is on current and past android devices, it doesn't have efi or the uefi capabilities.
Tianocore is an open source project that a lot of great minds have come together to make the technology readily available to the public, but I'm too novice to be able to successfully implement anything worthwhile yet.
What is TianoCore?

If you're curious about edk2 i posted a bunch of nonsense I learned about it on page three of this guide. It's a bunch of relevant links or at least a starting point.
Root Nvidia Shield TV Pro 2019 Version
THIS IS OUTDATED https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/bootmod-root-your-shield-in-1-minute-2015-2017-2019.4524873/ REPLACES THIS IF YOU WANT ANDROID OR USE THIS GUIDE...
forum.xda-developers.com
I believe I read that edk2 will be implemented into later android firmwares, but if we could figure it out properly, we could add the efi driver to any android firmware and in theory install any OS

Replacing the proprietary bootloader sounds good, but sadly I have absolutely no idea, how I should do that (maybe it would be actually too much effort for an old TV box). So, I think, it would be better to work with the existing one. Wouldn't it be possible to flash the image, using adb?

I think possible yes, anything is possible, but the limitations is going to be with the iso or image you are using, how it unpacks the boot sector or the efi. You can flash any image over, but to get it to boot is the other problem.
Hypothetically, I would think if you were able to edit the image to the point where it was just the linux distro's system files or the system structure unpacked , it could be possible to fastboot flash the image as system.img, as thats kinda how android is structured with the separate system image and boot image, but I don't think the public knowledge is there to be able to do anything easily without developing it yourself.

That's not very optimistic.

A few months ago I downloaded the Android image from the manufacturers website. After I asked them for some information about the TV box, they deleted the whole support webpage for the device. But right now I've found a copy of the file on a USB flashdrive. The file also contains a PDF document with an instruction, for installing the image. May I could use this "update app" instead of adb for my own image?

Oh for sure! It looks like they have their own built in firmware installer, which will save you the headache of using adb fastboot flashing. I hope it works out easily for you! I'd totally throw a copy of that firmware on the cloud and link it somewhere too. You'd surely be helping someone out there some day with that!

That's a good idea! Which cloud would you refer?
I already searched in the internet for images for this device and arm architecture (ARMv7), but I was not able, to find something. Could I also only compile Debian or Ubuntu or anything else for this arm architecture, or do I have to do driver development?

I use google drive now its free and super fast. For me I can download 5gb isos in 5-10 mins. Plus you can keep making google accounts if you go over 15gb limit if you know what I mean.

I think as far as your second question you could do one or the other. You could explore learning how to compile any linux distro you choose, since in theory (my semantics may be wrong here) they all run the same basic linux kernel, the same as any android distro does, so you can choose to explore any distro to recompile into a system.img for flashing.
Else choose to learn driver development to bypass choice 1, if that makes sense. It kinda gives you the freedom to learn whatever sounds most interesting for the time. Hopefully enough of us will start learning this we can create our own solution to what would seem to be a trivial problem but definitely isn't right now XD

Thank You For Sharing This Sir~! Amazing!!

Good evening everyone and Happy New Year!
I have a counter question.
I decided to buy a TV box with Linux OS and made a choice on https://www.edision.gr/en/detail/ping
I would like to install some applications, but how much I did not dig and nothing happened.
Can anyone advise where and how to start. Thank you in advance.
