I dont know if this problem is known here,
all (in my opinion froyo builds) have the same android_id
In every build the id is: 9774d56d682e549c
this cause problems with some apps of the market because they use this id to identify the device. for example imobsters ;-)
see this post
forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7251507&postcount=1110
sorry for my bad english
I think this causes a problem too with pMessenger, but I'm not sure if the Android ID or the MAC address is being used by pMessenger. However, both of them are identical on all our devices for now.
I think it should be trivial for the devs to fix it, but they are concentrating on fixing more major things now.
i am not sure, but maybe there is a way to change that id:
NOT ugly market fix
No more emulators!
Push this over to your phone, and you'll be able to get a working android ID without any sort of silly fooling around.
To repeat and clarify: You will get a fresh working Android ID, from Google, just like a phone.
From early testing it still appears SOME paid apps may be missing, but this is definitely a better solution than an ID from the 1.6 emulator as I continue to look into the issue. (I think this is actually less an Android ID issue than it is an issue with PDN being a configuration that some apps refuse to support, be it resolution, version 2.0 or whatever)
(I've also found that using your phone's ID on your PDN may "taint" what you can see in the market on your phone. Personally, I'll be moving away from sharing an ID with my phone)
Instructions
1) You'll need to remount system as R/W regardless. so let's start with that:
"adb remount"
2) If you want to start over clean, I'd recommend clearing market cache and killing your existing android ID.
adb shell sqlite3 /data/data/com.google.android.googleapps/databases/gls.db "update meta set intvalue='0' where name='androidId'";
To clear market cache: Settings->Manage Applications->press menu button->choose "Filter"->choose "All"->Scroll down to Market and select it->choose "Clear Cache"
3) Apply this hack
"adb push framework.jar /system/framework/"
4) Since we replaced a main framework, clear dalvik cache just to be safe, and reboot. Yes, the first reboot will take longer since we just cleared the cache.
"adb shell rm -r /data/dalv*"
"adb shell reboot"
5) Go ahead and log into Google Talk and use the Market to ensure all is working.
Feedback welcome!

I dont know if that works because its not for the hd2, but someone could try it.
I Mirrored the file in case it gets deleted:
Multimirror (Rapidshare, zshare etc.)
edit: I dont think that could work, i just tried to change to /data/data/com.google.android.googleapps/databases/ and it didnt exist at all ...
News
strazzere.com/blog/?p=217
but where can i find these "/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db"
is there somebody out there who can say me how can i change my android_id on my HD2?
Hi everyone,
If you have any questions relating to Arch on the TF300, please post them here and not in the dev thread
I'll do my best (as well as others, I'm sure) to answer them, but bear in mind that you should have some basic Linux knowledge before flashing!
this is awesome!

I can't thank you enough for this, it's been fantastic so far! I only have a few questions, as I am extremely new to arch linux...as in this is the first time I've used anything aside from debian in the linux world.
To start, how would we go about changing DE's? I've downloaded a couple, but i get errors every time i try to start one saying that another window manager is already running. With ubuntu one just logged out and chose from the log in screen, but there doesn't appear to be a log out process for this, i get a black screen every time i do. Other than that, are there any general programs/settings/tweaks that you would suggest applying? While this is very nice, it still seems to be missing some basic functions, such as putting the screen to sleep and having a set system time.
Despite all of that, this has breathed new life into my tablet, you're doing fantastic work and I hope you only continue to make it more amazing!

Take a look at the .xinitrc file in the home directory. It's a hidden file so you may need to "show hidden" or give an editor the full path (/home/user/.xinitrc)
The file runs the following by default:
Code:
exec startxfce4 --with-ck-launch
You can change everything after `exec` to the script for a different DE, such as `startkde`. If you don't know the command, there should be a list of session templates in /usr/share/xsessions/. Inside each .desktop file there's an "Exec=" line, everything after that is the command to sub in.
My crappy bash skills threw together a quick command to get a list of installed xsessions:
Code:
grep "Exec=" /usr/share/xsessions/*.desktop | sed -E 's/^Exec=(.+)$/\1/'
The output on the default rootfs will just be "startxfce4". If you have KDE another line should output "startkde", and so on. Put the command in your .xinitrc (making sure to replace the current one) and then reboot as there's no proper way to log out.

First of all, thanks for the help! Unfortunately, I appear to have done something incorrectly, as the Linux partition will no longer boot. That code didn't return anything but a ">", although as I type this i realize I may have needed to be root...haha, regardless, I tried to edit the .xinitrc file with "exec /bin/usr/startlxde", which is what was after "exec=" in the xsessions directory, nothing happened after waiting quite a while after boot.
I suppose I'll have to reflash the entire partition, considering i can't access the filesystems to change it back. Ah, the wonders of linux!
Sorry if I repeat my question,but how can i activate the keyboard without using a pc with linux ?

You should be able to gain access easily via Recovery. Just adb shell in, mount /dev/mmcblk0p8 /mnt and look in /mnt/linux - that's your root file system...

Without using a PC... Hmm, that could be tricky. If you're in Android, and you add this line to the top of /data/linux/home/user/.xinitrc
Code:
maliit-server &
(before the exec line)
It should give you the virtual keyboard when you restart into Linux.

I was actually able to just use the terminal emulator in android to navigate back to the .xinitrc file, turns out i wasn't supposed to leave the "--with-yadda-yadda" bit, so i got lxde working...and as it turns out, i don't like it nearly as much as the DE you included, so i'll be switching back to that!
First off: thank you SO much for your hard work at this! My tab has never browsed the web this well. It's better than the desktop I'm sitting next to. Arch is amazing!
Just a few questions. Do we have basic tab controls yet? I'm looking for, specifically:
Brightness Control
Enable/Disable Touchpad
Volume Control
Sleep/Suspend/Hibernate
Especially that last one! As far as I can tell, if I'm not going to use the tab for more than a couple minutes, it's apparently best to shut it down or reboot back into Android so it can "sleep". Or plug it in. I know we're rough around the edges yet, but is this stuff in, or no?

I don't think sleep/suspend/hibernate is implemented at all quite yet. The backlight seems to turn off completely when the screen times out though so you can fake having a low power mode, though obviously true sleep would be nice.
As for volume control, use pavucontrol. You may need to install it with `pacman -S pavucontrol`.
For brightness ... there's no good way to do this as far as I can tell. XFCE has a brightness control applet you can add to the bottom panel but it doesn't seem to work, and most of the usual packages (e.g. xbacklight, etc) don't detect the backlight device. Oddly enough I gave e17 a try and its builtin brightness applet worked fine, I wonder what they do differently ...
At any rate you can control it manually: the file /sys/class/backlight/pwm-backlight/brightness has a 0-255 value which controls the screen brightness. Note that you need to run the echo command as root
Code:
# echo "1" > /sys/class/backlight/pwm-backlight/brightness # minimum brightness
# echo "255" > /sys/class/backlight/pwm-backlight/brightness # maximum brightness
# echo "0" > /sys/class/backlight/pwm-backlight/brightness # completely turns off backlight. use with care
Setting it to zero makes it next to impossible to see the screen. I ended up having to ssh into the device (or reboot) to get it back.
I modified the file through a PC and It works ! Thanks, no problems with wifi
Sleep / Suspend isn't implemented yet.
But, I did a bit of testing, and the TF should last for about ~40 hours with the screen off, and the processor in the Low Power mode (which it does automatically. Obviously, it's still wasteful compared to proper suspend, but it's not too bad.
Really liking this so far, other than managing to break wifi once, which I fixed by doing a quick re(install I guess is the proper term). Any chance of a future release having SLiM or something setup out of the box(I'd do it but looking at some of the guides, we are missing some files(?) :s) either that or is there a way to autologin a new user other than the default one named user?
(edit for more info) I've tried following a guide I found on the arch wiki which had me modify [email protected], but it didn't boot so I had to edit it back to the default.
Thanks for all your work cb22, and thanks for taking my advice and switching file hosts

But I can't for the life of me find out how to flash the hybridkernel.blob, I've already done every other thing, but i'm lost as to what to do there. Can I get a bit of guidance please?
:Nevermind: Silly me forgot to go to fastboot, I was trying to do it with adb, for any others though, reboot to fastboot on your tf300t and then run go to the location of fastboot on your pc and hold shift and right click and select open comand line here. Then move the hybridkernel.blob to the same location as the fastboot and run fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash staging blob

So, does Adobe Flash support work at all in Chromium? I haven't gotten it to recognize the plugin at all. Any way to get this working, or is it just gonna keep bugging me to install it?

I don't think it works at all, I've tried every permutation sudo pacman -S flash-plugin that I could think of and I've gotten notwhere.
They is no flash for ARM for pure Linux.

In theory you should be able to install a proper display manager without too many issues:
Code:
# pacman -S lightdm lightdm-gtk-greeter
# systemctl enable lightdm
...though when I tried this the DM would never actually be run. I was able to run it manually over SSH without issues (both lightdm and slim worked, more or less). I'm in the process of investigating why it isn't run at startup like it should be, whatever the issue is doesn't seem to be related to the display manager itself.
I have an issue with wifi.
1: The WLAN do not find any Network with Channel 12 or 13.. I think I must change the region in germany, but where?
2. The WLAN do not connect, they search for an network adress and after 30seconds they ask for wlan key again.. the key is correct and my router shows the connection.. but archlinux means the key is wrong.. testet with router und smartphone wlan hotspot..
3. 3G not connecting, i have create a profile for BASE Germany, but they do not connect.
UPDATE:
for 2: Sometimes they connect and I can surf. But the ping are more then 600ms.. After few seconds the connection lost, sometimes they connect again, sometimes say ask for wlan key again.
Maybe you can help me. Sorry for my bad english.

Could any of you guys find out if you have a process running in "interruptible" state named "kinteractive_lo"?
You can check that using "top" in CLI or installing gnome-system-monitor. I guess the standard xfce task manager works as well.
It's driving me nuts and I believe is one of the reasons why I have to hard-reboot my tablet, since invoking reboot with --force works perfectly.
Thanks in advance!
I've been following the progress on official Ubuntu Touch port to Galaxy Tab 10.1 for a while and today they have updated the wiki for a dedicated session and early build install instructions.
This is an early build, some things work, some things are unknown and wifi is work in progress.
Installation
1. Download the ubuntu preinstalled and the p4wifi specific cyanogenmod image from the unlock instruction section below.
2. Put both zip files onto your sdcard
3. Enter recovery mode and do a wipe data/factory reset
4. Flash in this order:
First the cyanogenmod image (e.g. cm-10.1-20130325-UNOFFICIAL-p4wifi.zip)
Then the ubuntu image (this may take a while)
5. reboot
fix screen pixel ratio (this will become obsolete once the config file is included by default):
1. download p4wifi.conf: http://ubuntuone.com/688wubidavYnvfKvBWV7cY
2. copy p4wifi.conf into /etc/ubuntu-session.d/
3. reboot
Unlocking instructions
link to images
1. Ubuntu stuff:
Current: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-to...urrent/quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip
2. CyanogenMod image:
Current: http://ubuntuone.com/6V0ZxZ8cqB2AGcF8nImrDV

Thanks, friend! I'm gonna test it soon :good:
AW: Official Ubuntu Touch for Galaxy Tab 10.1 is here!
I tried it. Installation worked fine and the first start (reboot after install) also went fine. Can't test more things than boot up right now - no time so far. I'll have a look this evening.
But why are there already users exsisting an how do i log in?

They say it's a test-only version and you can only log in to guest account...
and if you read the ubuntu-part file's name it is "quantal-PREINSTALLED", which means it is an installed image of Ubuntu that was tested on some previous devices by Ubuntu devs...
it's my thought, though...
AW: Official Ubuntu Touch for Galaxy Tab 10.1 is here!
Yes. It's a tech demo. But it already looks nice. I hope development goes on quickly.

Not sure why you're having this problem. Maybe try format everything before flashing back or use a nand backup if you have one?
I think we must put the p4wifi.conf into ubuntu-session.d folder in the quantal before we install the image, right?
The proof I can provide is that there are folders named ubuntu-session.d and data in the quantal, but they're extracted to somewhere else during installation...
Video coming soon...

My memory is a bit vague on this, but I think it's in the /ubuntu folder, as well as the rest of the filesystem. It confused the hell out of me when I had it on my Sensation, it seemed like there was an entire filesystem at the root of the storage, then another inside /ubuntu where everything seemed to be.
You could use the search in Nautilus to find it as well, just make sure it's searching all subdirectories
I had a problem adding the p4wifi.conf file to /etc/ubuntu-session.d/ folder. This is how I solved it.
My problem basically was that when using adb shell to access the device I was inside the android system. And you need to get inside the ubuntu-system.
My way to get shell access to the ubuntu-system was the following:
>adb root
>adb shell
You should now see something similar to [email protected]:/ #
Then enter:
>ubuntu_chroot shell
You should now see something similar to [email protected]:/#
You are now in the ubuntu-system.
to get the p4wifi.conf file into /etc/ubuntu-session.d I did the following:
>cd /etc/ubuntu-session.d
>echo -e "GRID_UNIT_PX=10\nQTWEBKIT_DPR=2.0\nFORM_FACTOR=\"tablet\"" | sudo tee p4wifi.conf
For some reason there is a space between " and tablet. This space should be removed! It seems as if the forum adds it when rendering my post.
Now for the changes to take effect you will need to reboot your device. You can do that by writing the following
>reboot
I hope this helped someone that just as me struggled to get the pixel-ratio fix applied to the system.
Thanks, my friend.

Yeah I read about this post too, I'm a bit busy this week but maybe I'll try it out this weekend.
I finally fixed screen pixel ratio by flashing the .zip package linked in post 15 in this thread ... simply adb push it and flash using CWM (ubuntu won't erase CWM after being flashed)...

maybe we can put the commands in afterflash-p4.zip and then flash it, like the way we solved the screen pixel ratio issue...

I'm pretty sure I had this working on the NA Rom, I'm now using the Stock EU 8GB Rom and the workout app wont start when my HRM is paired..
It crashes and force closes.
However the HRM does pair, and I can see my Heartrate displayed when I use the Heart rate clock face.
Anyone experienced this ? Any fix anyone knows of ?

Reading Moto Support forums, looks like it may have stopped working in ROM upgrade to 1.7.xx Does anyone have 1.6.13 for example ?
Fix for pairing with Polar H7
Hi scoobdriver,
This problem is related to versions 1.7.x of the MotoACTV firmware. There are several posts in the Motorola forums, but no official answer from Moto for the last two years. Up to now, the only solution if you wanted to pair your H7 with the MotoACTV was to revert to 1.6.12 (the last rom working with the H7). Luckily, ClearD root tool can do that for you ("return to stock" functionality flashes 1.6.12). Please read the instructions carefully before you try to root your device if you choose to follow this path.
In my case, I decided to follow a different path and go into the code for comparing both 1.7.10/12 and 1.6.12 (the last working rom). I found out that some dev at Moto thought that a null pointer check was not necessary when setting up the activity screen, and this caused an uncaught null pointer exception and the already famous crash "Sorry. The application Workout (com.motorola.gault.activity) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." Surprisingly, it had nothing to do with BLE protocol or with any compatibility problem with Polar implementation/interpretation of BLE.
I have fixed and repackaged the conflictive apk (attached); after several tests and workouts it has not given me any problems. If you want to test it, you can update you MotoACTV to the latest rom (1.7.10/1.7.12) with MotoCast, root it (read the available excellent tutorials on how to do it, if you need), download the attached file and copy it to the device with adb:
Code:
adb remount
adb pull /system/app/Workout.apk Workout_backup.apk # (if you want to backup your original apk)
adb push Workout.apk /system/app/
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/Workout.apk
I know it could be packaged in a more friendly (non-adb) way, but I want to make sure it really works before going on. I have tested it with ClearD rom, but it should also work for a stock rom. Anyway, be warned that rooting and playing with adb is at your own risk, as usual. In any case, If you test the modified apk and you get any undesired result, do not hesitate to come back to this post.

I know it could be packaged in a more friendly (non-adb) way, but I want to make sure it really works before going on. I have tested it with ClearD rom, but it should also work for a stock rom. Anyway, be warned that rooting and playing with adb is at your own risk, as usual. In any case, If you test the modified apk and you get any undesired result, do not hesitate to come back to this post.

Thank you so much for this J*R! I just bought a motoactv just to use it with BLE accessories and none were working until I applied your APK. Straight forward very easy to follow instructions. Everything is working now.
I can't believe Motorola is not doing anything about it. Even if it's a discontinued product, it doesn't have to be a useless one....
rocos
not working
Hi and thank s for your work.
i m cleardroid rooted (1.7.10) and put your workout.apk fix on my actv...but still not ok. (Same msg: workout... crash....try again later)
First time, when i try to backup my original workout.apk in adb , the file was not founded on my actv. I push whatever your apk in system/app and everything is ok in adb. But nothing change for my problem when i try to launch a jogging.Is it possible that my actv system path is different of your example? (System/app)
i dont know if is it possible to explore the system file of my actv, at least for know where path is my original workout and replace it by your fix.
thank s man and sorry for my ugly english...i m french.
Hi, first of all, sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, I tried on the development section but I couldn't so here it is the thing;
First of all, I'm using the default rom(AQH3) with root. The point is that I have used other phones, and I have been using strace command as any other linux command, on the android terminal or via adb. However, I recently bought a S8 but it seems it does not include this command in the rom by default. BusyBox does not incluide it either, so the only aproach left was to copy the strace binary from my previous phone to the S8...i do thinks that's not a good idea but at the moment that's the best I can do. Sometimes it works good, but with some apps I can't use it because the information i get is useless; It gives me all the time
Code:
restart_syscall(<... resuming interrupted restart_syscall ...>)
Which is not really usefull...What could I do to use strace on my S8 properly? Maybe I'm missing something, or is there a way to download a 'official' strace binary for this rom/phone? It seems to me that Samsung does not provide you this utility but maybe I'm wrong. I searched everywhere but I found nothing.
Thanks everybody for your time and your help!
You need strace built (preferably staticly) for the right architecture for it to follow the system calls correctly. Ive actually had plans to build one for a while, will share if I do

So you think the problem is that the strace I'm using is for armv7 and so S8 has armv8 does not work properly? I was thinking that maybe the problem was S8 android/kernel version
