We can't, exe files are Windows only files. And we can't compile wine for ubuntu, so emulation is also out of the question.

Android SDK for Linux?

I installed linux just to help with the android development, now what?
same basic process as with windows, download the Android SDK from the dev site, and follow the directions on the site. If you have Ubuntu just use the software explore to get/install Java JDK, and Eclipse. From eclipse install android plugin, and then android components
you can add the Android/tools folder to Path if you so desire as well (for ADB), I believe that is also on the dev site.

[Q]Trouble with Java JDK 5 for Ubuntu

Hi guys. I have trouble with installing Java JDK 5 on Ubuntu 11.04. It's necessary for custom ROM development, so I really need it. I've had it installed before, but I had to format my Ubuntu partition and I lost it. I've followed all the steps, but there's an error telling that the sources are missing. Any ideas guys? It's very important, so please help!
Thanks in advance!
Did you add Path variables?
PATH=$PATH:/path/to/executables
Are you using OpenJDK or Oracle JDK.
Ubuntu comes with OpenJDK by default so if you want the Oracle version go to their website. Download JDK 5 extract the JDK then add the Path variables to the executable folder.
Also make sure you get the self-extracting download and not the rpm download.

Where's JDK 5? I can't see it.

I just had to install an Ubuntu machine for the same reason: to build AOSP from source and I couldn't do in in my preferred environment, Gentoo (JDK5 is officially dropped from Gentoo due to security issues).
Ubuntu didn't have any qualms about installing JDK5. Just ran:
sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jdk
then followed the instructions here:

If you are like me you are tired of reformatting to have to type in a long mess of stuff just to use adb well I have simplified it in a small sh file. It installs all the applications according to Android's website. I even updated the application names to the ones which Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit recognizes. It's an initial release feel free to modify.
Extract all files to your HOME dir, edit the username in phones.rules and execute in terminal
Find the most recent version on github (Link in my Signature)

You can't compile on windows, you need a linux distro or mac to do so!

Or a Linux distro running as a VirtualBox VM under Windows.
a change to your script...line 14
cd ~/sdk/tools
should be changed to
cd ~/android-sdk-linux/tools
anyone could probably figure it out but for those in need and confused..
Can someone repost this script? Some sort of FBI warning on megaupload atm.
I'll reupload when I get home tonight with updated version

hey there!
is there a possibility to get this script anywhere?
the link to github is dead and i can't find it elsewhere...
would be really cool!

Duel booting thread Finished :)

One of my favorite things about android is being able to duel-boot os's and playing around with Linux distros ,but ive seen a drop off of them being brought to Android sadly . so im starting this thread in order to get all the duel-boot,chroot boots and all other ones into one place if i forget one please let me now and ill do my best to add it
Note these are not all native boots and i take no responsibility for anything that happens to your device, these are not mine either and the owners should be thanked im just bringing them together :victory:
Native Boots
My favorite and best (in my opinion) are the native boots Starting off is Ubuntu as a native boot
UBUNTU
The original creators in bringing Ubuntu to the Acer a500 first are right here on XDA netham45 and sp3dev The original thread can be found here Here
To start off on booting Ubuntu Natively you're going to need Root obviously and acer recovery installer which can be downloaded from the Android market
for the sake of this tutorial ill go over booting it off the internal storage :laugh:
1.Start by making sure you have 8gigs free of internal storage as this is how big the .rar is unpacked
2. after you download acer recovery installer youll need to flash this recovery Here
3. After that download all 3 of these .rar's onto your pc put them in a folder of there own and extract the first one they should all merge giving you one rootfs File1 File2 File3
4.once you get the rootfs move it to the home directory of your internal storage
5. power off your tab and boot into your recovery using power and volume- and your good to go
6.some tweaks you could do would be
For sound
Code:
usermod -a -G audio <your username here>
For cpu frequency scale
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:artfwo/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install indicator-cpufreq
it will appear in you task bar on reboot best set to performance
:laugh:
Backtrack
Ive been told it works the same way but replacing the ubuntu.img with the backtrack.img which you can download from
http://www.backtrack-linux.org/
Cannot confirm this if someone tests it please reply back
BODHI LINUX
Bodhi Linux is another Linux brought to android with the dev being here on XDA apapousek Make sure to look at the original thread and thank it Here
There are to differant builds Alpha1 and Alpha2 ill be going over Alpha2
1.Start off by using gparted or any partitioning tool should work, and partion your micro sdcard make the first one as ext4 and make it at least 1.5gb name it bodhi make your second partition 128mb at least of fat32 format
2.mount the partitions
3.download bodhi Linux from Here
4.Extract the bodhi tarball to the root of your micro sdcard by using the commands
Code:
sudo su
cd /media/bodhi/
tar -jxvf /home/name/bodhi_alpha2.tar.bz2
5.Copy recovery.img to the second partition and flash it using Acer recovery installer from Here
6.Boot into recovery and you should be good to go
7.once booted into bodhi open terminal and type in setupwifi
CHROOT
Not as good in my opinion alot less functionality but there still fun for testing out a Linux distro and require less space without having to sacrifice your recoveryThere basically running a virtual machine on top of android to run a Linux distro all the ones I've tried have been slower so i just tend to stay away from them but feel free too XD
First of all there's a couple of different apps that will help you get it installed hassle free (for the most part)
starting off there's Linux installer standard Here
There's also Complete Linux installer with two donate versions available Here
Manual Method
There's also a more manual way of setting up chroot.
1.Make sure you have a terminal emulator Here 7zip Here and a .img file for a linux distro ill put up backtrack since it seems to work well make sure you get the ARM version of Backtrack And finally Android VNC Here
2.Download the .Img file of your choice in this case Backtrack 5 and extract it once this is done you will get another folder with bt5.img.gz and a whole other bunch files right click on the bt5.img.gz and go to extract here now copy them all into a folder called BT5
3.copy the folder called BT5 to the internal storage of your device it will be around 5gigs
4.Make sure you have Root access and busybox installed
5.Now open up your terminal emulator app and type in
Code:
su
cd/sdcard/BT5
Then hit enter and type in
Code:
sh bootbt
You should see [email protected] if it worked if it did then you can go ahead and use BT5 commands or you can get a gui by typing in.
Code:
tightvncserver -geometry 1280x800
Hit enter then type in
export USER=root
hit enter then
vncpasswd
Now its going to ask you for a password just create any random one and then verify it . After that it will ask you if you want to create a view only password hit n
6.Finally open VNC android you'll have nickname which doesn't matter port which is usually 5901 if that doesn't work try 5902 or 5903 address leave bank and make sure your connected to [email protected] just hit connect and your done one final thing to remember though is when you want to exit you have to go back to terminal and type in exit to shutdown
WINDOWS
WINDOWS95
windows is actually run through an app which emulates it i believe it has little to none drivers instaled and you cant really do much that ive found but its fun to mess around with and show off :laugh: to get this up and running is pretty simple all you have to do is.
1.Download this .rar HERE
2.Extract the folder to get a sdl.apk and a folder called sdcard move both of them to the root of your sdcard
3install the .apk and open it when shutting down though you have shutdown the right way by hiiting shutdown if you dont on reboot youll get a scandisk error
WINDOWS XP
Windows xp is even slower more useless and way more complicated to run BUT its still kinda cool to have
1.First you'll want to download everything you'll need bochs for android from HERE Sdl.zip from HERE Bochs for pc from HERE and Qumu manager for pc HERE. Last thing you will need is a windows xp.iso file not .img but .iso (ide post one but i read somewhere its ilegal to post .iso for windows :/ )
2.Download and install boch's for android on your tablet then move the SDL.zip to the root of your SDcard
3.Install Boch's and Qemu manager onto your pc
4. what you going to need to do is run a virtual machine with the .iso you have so first thing you'll want to do is once you install Boch's for your pc hit the start button then go to all programs and find the Boch's folder inside of that folder there should be a program called Disk image creation tool.
5. Next type in hd then hit enter, after that type in flat then hit enter ten after that its telling you what size you want it to be usually windows xp doesnt need more than 1.5gb so type in 1500 and hit enter then finally type in c.img and hit enter.
6. Now you want to open Qemu, once inside Qemu you want to start a new virtual machine do this by going to the vm tab and click on new virtual machine.
7.you can give it any nickname it doesnt matter just give it one and hit next.
8.Now it wants to know how much ram you want to allocate to this virtual machine 512mb to 1gb is usually fine pick and hit next.
9. Then hit finish now what you want to do is install the .iso to the blank image file but you need to specify what it is so go to the drives tab, click on Harddisk zero.
10.now you have to find the file c.img its usually located in program files/bochs you might have to make sure all files is selected in your file type bar.
11.Select thec.img file and hit ok
12. Now you want to click on your cd-rom that is your windows xp.iso file so browse and find your windows xp.iso and click ok.
13.Now your ready to run your virtual machine just hit the run button (green one) and if everything went alright you should see it start to boot up.
14. Now you'll have some on screen prompts make sure you follow them and choose ntfs file system when it prompts you to. (process will take 30min+ depending on computer speed)
15. Once your installation has been completed and your at the desktop you want to stop virtual machine. click yes end session. (i know right all that time just to spend two seconds in it)
16.Now you want to find the c.img file which is no longer blank and has windows xp installed to it. Usually in program files/bochs copy it then paste it inside the folder called sdl on your sdcard. If there is already a c.img inside of it just overwrite it.
17.okay almost done (i promise ) your going to want to copy all this code
Code:
megs: 256
cpu: count=1, ips=6000000, reset_on_triple_fault=1, ignore_bad_msrs=1
# filename of ROM images
romimage: file=BIOS-bochs-latest
vgaromimage: file=VGABIOS-lgpl-latest
vga: extension=cirrus, update_freq=25
pci: enabled=1, chipset=i440fx, slot1=cirrus
ata0: enabled=1, ioaddr1=0x1f0, ioaddr2=0x3f0, irq=14
ata1: enabled=1, ioaddr1=0x170, ioaddr2=0x370, irq=15
ata0-master: type=disk, path="c.img"
#ata0-slave: type=disk, path="d.img"
#ata1-master: type=disk, mode=vvfat, path=/sdcard/HDD, journal=vvfat.redolog
#type=cdrom, path="CD.ISO", status=inserted
boot: c
config_interface: textconfig
#display_library: x
# other choices: win32 sdl wx carbon amigaos beos macintosh nogui rfb term svga
log: bochsout.txt
sb16: enabled=1
mouse: enabled=1
sb16: wavemode=1, dmatimer=500000
clock: sync=none, time0=1
Now go to your sdcard/and go the sdl folder and find the bochssrc.txt file overwrite everything in that file with the lines of code you just copied
The megs value at the top is how much ram you want to allocate to windows xp
18 Save te text document and your ready to run windows xp just open up bochs on your phone
Miscellaneous
These are all the os's that ive found that have been duel booted but are not worth it or a tutuoriol was never released will update it as i find them.
so far the only one i know of is Armedslack thsnks to hellvy from what i know of its the same way as bodhi linux but using armedslack packages
MAC OS
Im trying to figure out old mac os and newer ones right now ill be righting a tut once i get it figured out
Just adding another distro. I'm running ARMEDslack. You can use BODHI LINUX approach for installation, but use armedslack's Mini root filesystems instead. For me, there's so many stuff i have to do after installation (mainly recompiling apps & libs) and i'm not sure if anyone interesting in Slackware distro this day. So i'm not recommend this distro unless you have too much free time and know how Slackware work
Another thing, is there anyone get nvidia display driver works? i can't see any practical step to get it working, just ac100 display driver unbuntu package. If anyone get it working, pls share xorg.conf to me
Does ext4 partition has to be the first partition or second to boot bodhi because vfat as second partition cannot be recognized by cwm recovery and I cannot copy any files from internal to external sdcard

I have a couple questions...
How well does Linux(mainly Ubuntu) run on the A500? Like is it smooth and all the various controls work well.
Does the HDMI out work? If so can you extend the desktop through the HDMI out to another screen. Like have two different windows on each screen.

I'm not sure bout hdmi if you do all the tweaks it runs reasonably well but won't run games and still lags when opening huge programs i had it for a couple of months for the most part you can install whatever you want some programs have missing repositories and you would need to create you own but there not that common i used it for compiling c+ as i need the multiwindow to do it but it will most likely crash if you try to update it i updated it to 12.04 successfully but was then having wifi problems you wil need an external usb keynoard to set it up at first when you boot up click on the top right corner and connect to wifi before doing the setup saves you a couple of steps

[TUT] [100% WORKING] Install leaked WP 8.1 SDK on your PC!

EDIT: Windows Phone 8.1 is released! You can now download the official SDK from here
Hey,
the installation of the Windows Phone 8.1 SDK leak was discussed here very much, sometimes it works, sometimes not.
So I written a tutorial how to install it!
How to:
1) Download the SDK ISO from here ALL OTHER LINKS WILL NOT WORK!
1b) Download Visual Studio 2013 Express for Windows in English from here
2) Extract the VS 2013 ISO and install it.
3) Extract the leak ISO and run the installer as administrator.
4) The installation should take an half hour. You can drink one or two coffee
5) Start cmd as administrator and run "cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft XDE\8.1"
6) Enter "XDE.exe -vhd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v8.1\Emulation\Images\Flash.vhd"". First boot will take 5-10 minutes.
7) THE EMULATOR IS WORKING!
You can also create an shortcut on desktop that saves you time. Location is: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft XDE\8.1\XDE.exe" -vhd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v8.1\Emulation\Images\Flash.vhd"".
FAQ
How to install it on windows 7?
You need to install SP1, then it should work.
After clicking the VS link, a logon field appears, what should I do?
Just login with your outlook account and click download
Can I run it on 32-bit?
Yes, you can. You need to install VirtualBox or VMware. Create a new virtual machine and select the Flash.vhd in the SDK location. To get it to work, you must run it as administrator.
What are the minimal requirements for it?
It works on any computer with 64-bit W7 or W8(.1) For 32-bit look above.
If this guide helped you please press thanks!
Thanks @DaviUnic for a easier way to start the emulator!
Yes, I'm seeing my tutorial was landed in the news! Thanks at all what thanked me and followed this tutorial!
hey nico
There's easier ways to start the emulator than deploying an empty app... You can use the following command in CMD to start a desired VHD: xde.exe -vhd "[vhd location]".

Thanks, already tried this, for 8.1 emulator, it didn't works
Last time I tried it worked...
Hold on, I have to re-install VS2013 and the SDK, then I'll try again.
EDIT: Just tried and it works fine for me. Just go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft XDE\ with CMD and then type XDE.exe -vhd "C:\Example\Path\example.vhd" and it works fine.

Is there anyway to make windows emulators work on Android???
No, because the emulator uses Hyper-V - which is also why it requires at least Windows 8, because Windows 8 was the first client release to include Hyper-V (previously it was available only on Server editions).
Besides that, the build in the emulator is an x86 compile, and I don't think there's an x86 emulator for android.

So other than that I can run it on Windows 8.1 standard edition (no Pro)? Oh and, my download speeds are very slow. Mind if you host it elsewhere?
Yeah, I think you can. But Hyper-V isn't installed by default, so you must go to the features list and install Hyper-V first, then you can use the emulator.
Confirmed, only working on Win 8 Pro.
View attachment 2599789
You can, however, install any virtual machine software, then download Windows Server 2012, and run the VHD. Once you're in it and set up everything, you can follow OP instructions, install Visual Studio blah blah blah. (remember to enable Hyper-V in Ctrl Panel) Follow till the last step, then you should be able to open the emulator.
Where exactly am I going wrong? Can someone help
