Ok got it to work,
okay my converter sux I got it .D if you could post more info to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4385729 your tutorial for Hero could be much more simpler...
and dont forget to give credits plx .D
best regards
I had mentioned your thread as a credit in my blog post. Maybe I will make it bold now . And I know it could be simpler. When I have time I could write a tool to insert the xml generated by Amber Nokia convertor into the SQL Lite databases directly without doing all the hacks i.e. merging a tutorial to convert NOkia->WM and then WM->Android. The WM bit isn't really necessary tbh.
Sorry I just noticed.. I forgot to include the link to your post and only included the modaco ones SOrry for that.. Done it now
iphone to htc hero???
anyone?
Almost there, but a little help needed please
Hi, have followed all the steps and got a saved copy of import.xml.
Next I connected the phone using the USB cable. (Didn't mount it as a USB device)
Then I opened Command Promt on my PC and changed to the android SDK tools directory.
Then I type "adb shell" (without quotes)
It says:
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
$
At this point the phone disconnects from HTC Sync and I have to end adb.exe (which appears twice) in windows task manager to get it to reconnect to sync.
Any suggestions please?
If it disconnects from HTC Sync, it's fine as long as you get the shell prompt

Maybe not. To be honest I'm starting to feel a bit out of my depth here. I don't really have any programming knowledge and haven't really used dos much before. I'll go and research 'rooting' now, but if you can come back with a quick instruction in the meantime that'd be great
Ok, so I've found various instruction for how to root my phone. Only problem is that they each seem to relate to what network I'm on. I was originally on T-Mobile, but paid to have it unlocked so I can use my 3 sim. Should I just use the instruction relating to T-Mobile? Sorry for so many questions, but I'm a bit worried about permanently wrecking the phone

Ok, if I use the instructions here (my ROM version is 2.73.+) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4525393&postcount=1 do you think it should be ok? I am a bit worried about the part where it says "flashrec is using an exploit that isn't patched yet in the current kernel used by HTC, however if/when HTC patches this, flashrec will stop working. So for now it's ok but a next version might have patched this, so keep this in mind !"

Hi, my name is José Pereira and i want to share with you the alpha application i'm developing, based on http:/ / code.google.com/p/android-vnc-server/.
It has a simple GUI, so you dont need know nothing about the terminal
As now, it has support for HTC Dream, Hero and Magic (keyboard and mouse), for other devices i need you to send me the "getevent" command output so i can add the input devices names to the application.
PS: YOU NEED ROOT ACCESS

thank you
Your screenshot looks great.
This is what I get on my Nexus One (Froyo). I remember others getting the same result with VNC server in the past too. Note: also get high cpu usage.
Keep up the good work, nice and easy to use.
Could you please send me a dump of /dev/graphics/fb0 so i can look into it?
You need to have adb executable, and do something like
"adb pull /dev/graphics/fb0 filename"
and send me the "filename"
Thanks
I've been messing with the vnc server from google, but can't get the touch input to work on my sprint htc hero. I tried installing and pushing your apk, but I don't see the app on my phone.

hi,
i got the same issue,
i ve did a dump you can download it here
http://no-comp.net/android/dump-nexus-one-froyo
i hope it ll help you out.
do you think it s a client or server issue?
do you know any way to do 20 fps video recording with vnc?
thxx for your effort and your time
best regards
Uninstall your version and install market (search for vnc server), the issue is already fixed!
hi,
that s what i did, and i still get the issue, that s why i ve post you a message.
herve
I run the version
0.2c
sommething funny with the 0.3c V when i clic on "stop server" it s still running...
new screenshot with last version
Make sure you are opening droid VNC server, because i changed names when uploading to market...
nocomp i find it very odd, because i already fixed that issue... can you send me a debug from logcat?
adb logcat
Don't expect to have 20fps in vnc, you cant get it with pcs, so with phones it's even less expected.
Thanks
EDIT: this is a server issue
send me your mail adresse at nocomp (@) gmail and i ll send it to you.
thx for your time

Hey Everyone, Good News- I finally figured out how to get XFCE on webtop, and take off Awn Dock. (Er, disable it.) I realize that its been done before and that there is a guide, but the guide I found ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054213 ) seems to be kind of outdated, and a little unclear. So this is an attempt to help people take their webtop to a whole new level.
To be clear, this is all the work of others, I take no credit, I urge you to hit the thanks button on all the threads I link to. These guys work their butts off. This is simply a guide making it dead simple to do something I know a lot of people want, but isnt exactly super clear. Lets begin.
Remember, guys, it helps if your Rom actually has Webtop. No CM7, no MIUI, No AOSP. Some of the Blur Roms also don't have webtop, but that can be solved by flashing it through these links:
For 2.3.4 Roms http://www.multiupload.com/H4UW3JTL22
For 2.3.5 Roms http://www.multiupload.com/R39VKRPJU5
For 2.3.6 Roms http://www.multiupload.com/3PD53CQRZA
(These are all Fruit Cakes, found here. Go give Sam some love, hit the Thanks button.)
Step 0
Do a Nandroid Backup. Please.
STEP 1
Ok, so first off, youre going to need to run webtop2sd, which can be found here. Run that, follow instructions, and try not to destroy your SD card. (Not that I did. Not that I destroyed 3 of them. No way.) That should take a bit, so be patient. Remember to say thanks to Sogarth, the Webtop Champion.
STEP 2
After that's over and done with, go ahead and start up Webtop, either through a Lapdock or Webtop Hack, it doesn't really matter. I will say that this is kinda pointless to do if you don't have a lapdock, but whatever!
After webtop is started, start the Webtop Configorator (Has the same icon as the Webtop2sd apk). Its going to pop up with some questions, click yes on both of them. Don't panic when it seems like the program freezes, its not frozen, it just takes an unsettlingly long time. Thatll finish up, then will present you with a menu, offering to install LXTerminal, and Synaptic Package Manager. Install both of them, by clicking install. When they finish, close the configorator. Now, this part is weird, open the configorator back up, and make sure that both programs are really installed, by clicking install again, just for good measure. For some reason, Synaptic would say it installed, then not really be installed. So yeah, up to you.
STEP 3
Alright, almost done, but then, not really. As of now, you have all the tools to get XFCE (Or whatever environment you choose, I recommend XFCE4). But right now, dependencies and packages are really really effed up, and its borderline impossible to install anything fun.
So to fix this, go to this thread here. This is a guide to for fixing apt-get dependencies. Show some love to Arvati, hit the thanks button, the guide is really simple, easy to do, and the installer is fully automatic. I recommend following his guide, then coming back here for the rest.
Helpful hint, to save you some thread searching, in the installer, type Yes on all the questions.
STEP 4
Home Stretch! At this point, you're ready to run Synaptic. In LXTerminal, type
Code:
gksu synaptic
We're going to install a couple things here. Well, actually a lot of things, but we're only going to click two things, and the rest will fetch themselves. In the search bar, type in xfce4 (or whatever desktop environment you like). It should be the top of the list, named "xfce4". Click the white box, and hit Mark for Installation. Click Yeah, you want to install the other stuff that comes with it.
After that, search for gedit. (For non linux familiar people, gedit is the linux equivalent of notepad. Its also got some color coding, so you could compare it to Notepad++.) Mark that for installation too, and you're set. Click apply at the top, and wait for that to install.
STEP 5
This final portion follows this guide. Go show your thanks to YellowGTO.
Once that finishes, go back into LXTerminal. Type in
Code:
cd /osh/usr/local/bin/
And after that, type
Code:
sudo gedit start-oshwt-2.sh
Gedit is going to open. Scroll down to where it has some lines that say
Code:
sfalv -i "awm-autostart"
sfalv -i "webtop-wallpaper"
These have to do with the current Window manager. We're not deleting them or removing them, just making them not start when Webtop does.
Put hashes (#) in front of them, so they now look like
Code:
#sfalv -i "awm-autostart"
#sfalv -i "webtop-wallpaper"
After that, add a line at the bottom of the chunk that says
Code:
sfalv -i "startxfce4"
Save and exit.
STEP 6
Go back into LXTerminal and type in
Code:
Startx
. This SHOULD finish it up by restarting webtop, but if it doesnt, pull the phone out and reboot it.
And you're done. This has essentially turned your phone and lapdock into an extremely handy netbook. You can install programs through Synaptic or apt-get. From here, you can play around. I recommend doing another Nandroid backup so that you don't accidentally restore to the one without your fancy new webtop.
Thanks a lot man.
Is it the same for lxde? I would like to try both on webtop.

Yes, im theory it should work, just type startlxde instead of startxfce. Post results on performance and usability, id like to know if theres anything that works better than xfce for this.
are your tzdata or samba-common packages broken by any chance?
I had both broken doing the standard wedtop2sd install method (stock ROM), was able to work around tzdata but not samba-common

Ahh I have no idea, it should've been fixed in the dependency fix script. When do you encounter this error?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1397583
tzdata would give an error when trying to install most packages from synaptic (openoffice.org is one I'm pretty sure), and samba-common throws an error when trying to install it, if you are trying to install a package to access file shares for example. But you can just try to install samba-common itself and it still doesn't install correctly.
Gnome also works!
After many hours of trial and error while following many of the tutorials, I managed to make gnome work to my liking on my webtop. I can even change themes as you can see on the screen captures.
I followed this tutorial made by aaron.a
I renamed the default gtk-2.0 Webtop theme to gtk-2.0-bak which is located on /osh/usr/share/themes/webtop-theme
I then edited the start-oshwt-1.sh file as follows:
# start OSHWT 1 scripts
update-font.sh
sfalv -w "webdaemon -d -n"
gnome-settings-daemon
# sfalv -i "xscreensaver"
sfalv -i "aiw -d"
sfalv -i "docking_manager"
fcitx
I edited the start-oshwt-2.sh file as follows:
# start OSHWT 2 scripts
# sfalv -i "awn-autostart"
# sfalv -i "webtop-panel"
# sfalv -i "webtop-wallpaper"
sfalv -i "gnome-panel"
sfalv -i "evbridge"
sfalv -i "window_switcher"
sr-test avahi_start &
What's the difference between
sfalv -i "startxfce4"
and
sfalv -i "xfce4-session"
I've been using the latter, but the former makes more sense to me. Though I've not been into doing this for very long.

Is it normal for webtop to be finicky? I experience sometimes that webtop loses the top panel or doesn't wake up properly or just become unstable. Does anyone else experience? I mean, it usually works but sometimes, like one in ten times, webtop is wonky and I have to restart my phone.

Hey thanks for saying, I wasnt aware it was case sensitive. I guess thats why it was being finicky for me. Webtop as a whole is pretty awkward, Ive just been plugging jokersax's ICS into the lapdock and that works fine. But whatever works, you know?

Hey guys,
I'm experiencing some serious case of bricking here. It is most probably caused of accidentally installing wrong .zip file that is actually not for u8800. When i try to go into recovery or regularly boot it up, i see the infamous green screen with blue and red blocks. My only possible interaction with phone could be done by pink screen cuz i think it's working.
Anyway, most of forums i've been on states getting the original image folder and putting the official Android 2.3.5 UPDATE.app to dload folder in my sd card, then booting up or going into download mode (which both do the same thing, starts the update process) without the battery attached and the phone connected to the pc via an USB cable. The only problem is whenever i try this, the update stucks on around 30% of the bar and when this happens, the red light switches on and off more frequently than before indicating there was something wrong with the process.
Am i doing something wrong here? What do you guys have else to offer? There is almost no forum left in xda, modaco and androidhelp that i didn't check out. I'm going to start throwing up threads here. Please help me!

Just follow the tutorial.
you must type "of=/dev/device_name" in command
with "device_name" is the device name alocated to the U8800. It can be "sdb", "sdc", "sdd", "sde", etc.

Hey sorry for resurrecting this thread. It's just that i previously tried everything including linux terminal but it just didn't do it and i brought it to its maintenance service for repairs. You can close this thread now, nothing to discuss here. But before that, could you give me some ROM suggestions to install to my newly working phone. I'd appreciate if you specify the reasons to use them too. You can send it via personal message. Thank you in advance.

After i got it back, i thought i could fix IMEI problem if i switch ROMs and installed AuroraSP+. It was decent but didn't really had time to fully explore it as i immidiately sent it back.

Hi, my small review is on last page
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2029969&page=17
This is NOT native ubuntu, THATS why i wanted it. You can use CYANOGENMOD roms and this will just load like a normal app, or a normal terminal. Or in my case provide me with a capable server in my pocket. Thjs js so cool imo. Because i can run all the old perl scripts directly on my phone... People can use my little perl scripts right from my pocket! I like this!
I use android 2.3 but after i got it on 2.3 i factory reset, installed multiple other roms, including ICS roms and it all worked. But alot of cool features backtrack has to offer seem to require lots of reconfiguration on 4+. i recommend android 2.3 nutrino rom i got it all working godly on there. Without editing the boot.img once... Or rly anything..
This runs as an app and the app "changes" the "root" directory. So basically its a little hack, its not native ubuntu.
I heard people telling me my phone cant run arch linux or ubuntu and i beg to differ.
Here is the only link i used to get a full blown capable (whatever) in my pocket.
http://stuffresearch.tor.hu/?p=245
After your done. Download a vnc client app to use the graphical interface (startx X.org desktop)
After your done with that download a ssh server app (that way your ubuntu chroot will be able to navigate android filesystem)
The vnc server and ssh server do not need to route trafic to your lan nor internet.

After you got it on your phone i recommend... Unlocking ALL the arm repositories and deleteing the bloat packages cause you wont have alot of room.
I get 2gb of room for ubuntu apps after removing bloat.

perhaps this is what ppl were talking about when they said that to you? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2078919 not really sure, i'm more of a stock rom/cm rom kind of guy myself. Ubuntu is still too new for me on a computer for me to consider it for a rom on a phone
Thank you for link.
But I don't see what I can do with Linux on my phone.
What is your motivation to run it? What useful thinks you can do with it?

idk, that's why I stick to the CMs, stock ROMs, and other custom mod's along those lines.
I hope you guys read this.....
You can do almost anything you can on normal ubuntu... And it does not load unless you load it.
Honestly if you dont need ubuntu or a useful linux dont get it. But with this u can run linux binaries that are generally common.... And not just the tiny subset that busybox brings. But a giant giIant giant giant giant awesomeness
For example i love loading firefox and runnng the same addons that i run on my pc on cellphone.
I also love being anle to send my phone shell commands directly AND HAVE BINARIES that make that useful. (I can write perl scripts to automate it all now, powerfully)
For example you can run wireshark to sniff data.... You can really do anything ubuntu can do.
Usually downloading linux distros onto your phone *for chroot is very easy. But since backtrack is so big i needed an extra step which i couldnt find untill i read this link. I was very great-full to that guy. I hope he can help someone else thru me. Because i needed backtrack on my phone yes or yes.
I can now fully program using emacs directly on my phone (i connect a computer keyboard to my phone) but for me its always been a dream to have a real computer in my pocket that i can use to program and run real internet browsers and diagnose networks. Believe it or not i stay legal, very ironically
I know how nerdy that sounds, but theres a hacker in all of us, and this makes your phone a weapon.
Tbh most people wont even want this. But those who do will be so happy to know that they cAn hack the image to under 4gb and hence can run it on their phone. It just all works right out the box.
Just look at what ubuntu can do and if u rly rly want that and it works on the phone install this.
I think im going to do my own directions and make it two steps.
That way people will just click click and see for themselves what new things they can do.
THIS DOES NOT DELETE YOUR CM ROM. YOU CAN RUN THIS SIDE BY SIDE TO YOUR ROM, AND EVEN HAVEA. DUAL BOOT SETUP + THIS.
Its fully compatible to work side by side because ita a chroot not a real install

You can use this and stick to your cm rom.

You have linux already on your phone. Android runs on linux. Thats why chroot is so easy i think
This is about backtrack ubuntu. Linux comes when you buy the phone.
I tried typing "what useful things can ubuntu do" into google
But that wasn't helpful lol...

This isnt a rom though. Im not knowledgeable in this area but i think since your running chrooted the android system still occupies the read only memory. I might sound dumb but i this is not in any way a rom. It fully sits in your REAL INTERNAL "sdcard" memory. Unless you load it ^.^ it auto closes when u close the terminal.. Atleast it shud
I believe that would be the case if you were to run ubuntu natively... Aka delete android.

If you had to Google something like that you probably have no clue what BackTrack means or what it is meant for and should avoid following this guide anyway.

Sorry for insulting you. But I have was programming nearly a decade before ubuntu even existed. It is a mere derivative, and backtrack is just a set of tools.
Google is powerful, you can hack with google. Googling what ubuntu is good for is perfectly ok imo, nothing to do with much.
Im NOT in IT... BUT I code 29 hrs a day average, atleast i try.
Si pensas que ubuntu esta correlacionado con la habilidad de programar estas en la ironia.
I dont see how any human would not like just having backtrack ubuntu on their phone ^.^
Even if i did not know already know all the tools.... You can just read... Or something ^.^
That guide was like 1 step from what i had done off the top of my head also... -.-
Not mean at all. But usually a programmer or someone in the IT industry knows what backtrack's purposes are. I am afraid I was just expressing an opinion in an open forum and didn't mean to come out as insulting or hurtful. Instead, I was trying to avoid you causing damage to your phone by venturing into the unknown. Calling someone dumb on the other hand IS insulting.

hi
i have a question
i ve done all steps until 1st run of boot bt script by adb
my sh bootbt perfoming with many errors
it tells about lack of root access and "cant find directory .."
what kind of linux distributive do u use for adb, i think it may be related with my usb live linux version (dont want to install it)

can you send me the full output you got when you ran bootbt? Maybe also the android VERSION and the bootbt source but first read bellow.
When you finish all the editing and you upload the /BT5 folder to your cellphone. are you sure your putting everything in the INTERNAL SDCARD. And also try moving all installed apps out of INTERNAL SD and into INTERNAL MEMORY. (I think i read somewhere somekid had to remove the real sdcard also... I dont see why lol, and i didnt have too.
Then you should just load up a teminal emulator on android and type: su and then sh bootbt. You said you did "sh bootsh" from adb. I did it from phone. But once the script runs it shouldnt matter where its invoked from so long as your running as root?
Try typing adb root first from pc.
Or type su first from terminal emulator on your phone.
To reply to mot.a.troll.... Im sorry im dumb and take suddle things like that as a big insult because i really dont think knowing about ubuntu or even backtrack. Is a requirement for this or for following that guide. I am damiliar with unix... Believe it or not. And i am DEFFINITLY not in IT, idk what "it" even means whaha. All i enjoy doing is programming when i was a kid in basic, and now 90% just perl all day (for many many years)
Ill edit my insult to u since your right, and its because im dumb and get offended. I wish i never even knew what ubuntu was period lol, but setting it all up manually is hard work and i just needed things working lol
I dont think the problem has anything to do with your linux distro or adb. Im 99.999999999% sure lol
Hacker ? Backtrack? *cough* , gentoo based linux for arm next time but nice effort.
Fyi backtrack really seems ok for live cd wifi stuff, but as phone had no promiscuous mode on wifi driver, whats the point ?
Just an off note, if u want linux on atrix this badly then why not chip in with porting ubuntu touch.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
i ve tryed it again with other ROM and sdcard placement but i m gettin same errors (no directory's, cant mount etc)
sry i havent posted log again
p.s.
Gentop2 (Gentoo) is the best experience i had with atrix and linux at all
I wish i have a dream what somebody will compile newer and better version than 05092013 but it wont happen i guess.

Sorry if me being a hacker offends you or your definition of it. Personally idgaf.. my current job basicaly implies i atleast write clever enough perl to make money lol...
And for your off note... This may sound very "ignorant".. but i HATE the owners of ubuntu. and hate how closed it is. I would never help them.
Also about the promiscuous mode, I wasnt even aware phones had no promiscuous capable wifi drivers... are you sure? Either way I dont see why you NEED it for the plethora of tools offered to you just by downloading an .img file.... I understand gentoo is alot better... but i have no time? This took me 30mins... because i literally copy pasted the commands and then waited...
use your brain? I could hack on windows, ios, android, ipad, unix, linux, pickyourfavorite here... hacking is an abstraction above the operating system imho *cough* *noob* ...and chrooting android PERIOD. gives OBVIOUS benifits.
the link i found is an extremelly easy way to make it work

if you get an error like /local/data/mnt/ no such directory
then that means you just have to create that directory... and try again.
otherwise post your logs.
Remember what i wrote as a first reply too.

My definition of "hacker" is someone that manages to create a tool or find a way to overcome an obstacle that wasn't supposed to be passed, such as wifi passwords. in this sense, just by using someone elses tools doesn't put you into the category of hacker.
I see chroot can have a benefit, but not by much as it depends on the android os. As 95+% of androids wifi drivers are closed with no promiscuous mode then the generic way of wifi hacking isn't possible. Correct me of I'm wrong but I'm going to assume that's why u want backtrack
Noob? Im have a ubuntu touch port up and running already and. With custom kernel this gives much more benefit over a chroot .
