Windows Server 8 - UPDATE Link!! - Windows 8 General

Microsoft Launched Windows Server 8 Developer Preview at the same time as Windows 8 Developer Preview. Unfortunately or the average Joe-wannabe developer it is only on MSDN for members only.
(Update: Looks like there is a password on the 7zip files. If anyone knows the password please share...lol)
Please Thank Jessenic (4th Post below)
LINK! http://digiex.net/downloads/download-center-2-0/applications/9309-windows-8-build-developer-preview.html
I haven't tested yet but will do so and post results and screenshots. I would like to test some of the RDP Stuff that was shown at BUILD!
Also Thank Me if this helped you....I like to know that I'm contributing in some way.
Mods If this is in anyway against XDA Rules please delete the links and post a message so that we don't get banned or Iron Fisted...Just kidding about the Iron Fist thing, I know its serious. I just want to make sure we are all able to enjoy this stuff within the legal and ethical limits, etc.

I might have access to a copy. I have a hard time imagining what Windows Server 8 has to offer. I mean, a finger touch metro based OS for a server would be pointless. Any Ideas on the new uses out of it?

whats the difference between windows developer preview and windows server 8?

I think it is there: http://digiex.net/downloads/downloa...s/9309-windows-8-build-developer-preview.html

But was it really hard to just join MSDN and download it?

Thanks! Downloading now. Will followup with results.

will download and revert back!!

So I guess were stuck until someone posts a password to the 7zip files.

Found a x64 .iso torrent on thepiratebay:
thepiratebay.org/torrent/6692178/Windows_Server_8_developer_preview_x64
(you must copy/paste, as my new account cannot post links)
I'm going to let it download overnight and try installing it in the morning.

Download all Eris ROM's/extras here -- ROM makers can host your roms here too

I put together a website to host all of the current Eris ROM's from all rom developers in one central location, without having to deal with all that MegaUpload, etc crap.
http://android.grdlock.net
You can find everything you need here.
ROM makers: You're free to use my site to host your ROM files. Just create an account on the site and join the IRC chatroom (irc.thefuzz4.net, irc.wastated.net, irc.zifnab06.net) and ask zifnab or Jamezelle for upload permissions. The only thing I ask is please don't provide the direct link to your file, give out the link to your folder instead.
I'll be gone all summer long so if you PM me don't expect a response.
Nice site. And it's really nice to have all the downloads in one place.
Thank you GrdLock!!
does the phone have to be rooted to add live wall papers
does the eris have to be rooted to add live wall papers
Thank you GrdLock!! [/QUOTE]
Yes it has to be rooted for live wallpapers.
Thanx
Thank you for the convienent "One Stop Shop" should make finding Roms alot easier
Well done! Do I hear Sticky?
Yery nice and convienent . Thank You for your site, and all the work you have put into making this available to us.
ok i have a question ,, i am using the legend rom ,, i just downloaded the live wallpaper signed zip ,, i installed it i find the live wallpaper option but it wont launch even the cube wallpapers ,, am i doing something wrong ?
Cannot download
I cannot download anything. The file acts as if it's going to download, but as soon as the progress bar comes up it finishes instantly and the file size is 138kb. I have tried downloading both the Sense able ROM and the Eris Radio, same outcome for both.

What browser are you using?
The site is tested and working in Linux (Chrome/Firefox) and Windows (IE8/Firefox/Chrome)
Probably an issue with a firewall or your browser settings.

"I vote sticky" means I think we should make this thread a sticky so it stays at the top of our forums for all to see, wasn't referring to you. And don't worry, no ones offended. Its just that this thread was started to post the website hosting all eris ROMS by GrdLock, not to walk people through live wallpaper patch installs.
Just start your own new thread to ask the question and people will be much more inclined to help.

I was using internet explorer (I think 8) I retried using Firefox and I think it's working now, thanks.
Download issues
OK, I am using Firefox now and nothing will download over 70 MB, it downloads until about 67-70 MB and then finishes incomplete???
Im on Windows 7 Ultimate downloading with firefox, and after 2 tries, the root rom corrupted on download both times. MD5 is not matching up.
I'm not sure what might be causing that issue for ya'll. I successfully downloaded files using 5 different browsers on my linux box and Windows virtual machine, as well as Firefox and IE on an actual Windows computer, i downloaded a rom using my phone, and went to the apartment office's business center and used one of their old ass computers with horrible internet and the rom still downloaded fine.
ME TOO
I am having the same issue, tried from work and thought it was the firewall, got home tried on windows and ubunutu VM, stops at 68.8M everytime???
Should of added, i am trying to D/L the sensable rom havent tried others yet
Hmm, that file downloads perfectly fine for me. I got two people in the IRC room to download the Sense-Able rom and it went perfectly fine for them as well.
I'll submit a ticket to my webhost though. If people are having download issues then they need to fix whatever's causing them. I'll post back when I hear back from them. I upgraded my hosting package just to accommodate the bandwidth to host this stuff.
So far I'm counting 3 people who have download issues? If anyone else has problems please let me know so I can tell my webhost.
NICE!
mind if i use this link on the site i mod for?
u can see the site in my sig
..or better yet, u can join and post it urself..
either way..let me know!

[Q] Unpacking system.img from Flyer RUU

Hello Nookers,
Remember that Sense 3.0 Port for Nook Project a long time ago? Well, the thread got closed because there wasn't a full product ready.
I'm almost done with my first working Sense Port, but I just need one more thing. First, lemme explain. These apps fail to works because the dump I used was an EVO View 4G dump, not the Wifi-Flyer's dump. So I have now managed to get a hold of a Deodexed Flyer RUU. I have extracted the ROM.zip containing system.img, data.img, etc. What I need now is a way to extract files from those. I have access to a Mac and PC but if ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY I will install Linux.
Thanks,
King Black Bomb.
Moo
if they are img files you can use IM disk to mount the img file on your PC. then you can access them and remove the files that you need to remove.
Dude, before you got banned two weeks ago, you said this would be done in 4 days, and you are still working on it? This is why you are not considered a credible developer.
You can use winimage to extract img files.

As I agree with the user above about your lack of credibility I'll add some info here for you to try to achieve your task. Attached is the program I use to extract images. ALL YOU DO IS DROP THE IMG FILE ON THE EXE AND IT WILL EXTRACT.
Yes, I did say that, and it was a mistake on my part I thought I would have found the program by then. Turns out a didn't. @xboxexpert I have tried unyaffs it does not work on either Mac or Windows. WinImage? It doesn't work. For some reason it seems encrypted. Same for IMDisk.
why are you even still trying this? HTC HAS MADE SENSE OPEN SOURCE AND WILL BE RELEASED ANY DAY NOW. www.htcdev.com

As I understand it, there aren't plans to make HTC Sense open source. This simply lets you write applications that make use of HTC Sense-specific APIs.
Woohoo, more free lawls! Get 'em while they're hot!
The kid has been stuck on the same step for several months, regardless of whichever RUU he stumbles upon on bittorrent. It's pretty pathetic at this point...
did you extract the exe from the rar?

You really need to read his old thread to understand -- in it, I was one of the only members trying to help him... at first. He proceeded to dismiss everyone's guidance -- consistently claiming to know better -- and continued to lie about "progress" for weeks. The extent of his "development" was copying and pasting the Sense apk's into /system... seriously.
There's history here with this clown, so please save your judgments for someone else...
You can try DiskInternals Linux Reader:
http://www.diskinternals.com/linux-reader/
OK, so you need to extract system.img files. You don't have to install Linux, you can run it from a Live CD. And mount loop the .img file to a folder on your system.
Mind PM'ing me a link to the download so I can do so for you? Then you can go ahead and do the port as you would say?
-Racks
To everyone who says I'm not a dev:
I have been making progress, because at first it was complaining about audio drivers, then files in /system/etc, and it kept on going. Finally, and i THINK this is the last step, is to push Wifi-Only frameworks, apks, and the /system/etc folder.
@racks11479 thanks, but I'll only tell others to do my work if I can't. But again thanks for offering.

What are you talking about, aren't you saying you need help extracting the system.img? I'm offering to help...
Isn't that the particular request you are asking in your OP? This is a developer community, everyone here welcomes help where needed. Not one developer on this forum has ever denied any help when they were stuck on an issue.
Not flaming you, but trying to help so you can continue the port you are working on. Don't let pride get in the way of progress.
-Racks
No not pride, it's just as soon as I say yes people will say "oh, the kid need serious help. Can't even extract a system.img."

Frankly, they have been saying that for some time now.
As it is, this thread has NOTHING to do with the nook, and needs to be closed. Frankly, i wish you would refrain from making these posts. It is obvious that you have no idea what is going on, and your posts are only serving to make this public info. I welcome everyone working on their dev skills, but strongly encourage those who are learning, to post about it in the right way....

This topic just needs to die. I saw this topic right after he created it but decided to lay low because I had hoped the topic would die out. since it seems like it wont i then must beg for people to stop posting here. Developers and other commenters have been very genorious in giving time and credibility to this poster (me excluded) and all he does in return is deny your help. He has been offered solutions like the ones given before but either he is not smart enough to handle such tasks or he is just a huge troll. So please ignore him. Please let this be the last post in this topic. This has gone on long enough and just needs to stop. If you don't then i will be forced to start posting pictures of dudes in g strings.

Application packs(ICS & JB)/packing tutorials

Hello to all.
I wondered if anyone has come to this conclusion but I think there should be a specific thread about this:
Many users(most of them enthusiasts) want to run ICS or JB in their devices but when they flash the ROMs they find that it doesn't have some essential programs(such as file manager,zip manager,etc).even if they want to restore their previous android back,they can't because they have no access to it...
So I've decided to merge(my only craft)some apps into CWM flashable files and share them here...The links are at the end of the post...
Any interest???let me know...
I forgot one thing...Don't forget posting your feedback here...
NEWS:Titanium backup has passed the test OK and will be included...the next build will be available very soon...

Instructions:After downloading these packages,place theme in the ROOT of your sdcard(the internal storage is called sdcard by android) and flash them right after flashing the ROM...

Installing Copy application on Galaxy Note 2 and on Desktop using Linux

Hi
I did install copy app on my device, however I got a few FC's is anyone facing this on our phones?
Additionally I would like to know if anyone got to install Copy Desktop application on Linux. I am a noob Linux user so.. some clarification for both questions would be great.

Hey try to wipe cache on your phone.
Regarding to install Copy into Linux (Debian and Debian based OS - my case) do the following:
1- Download Copy from website copy.com
2- extract it contents
$tar -xvf copy_[hit tab]
3- move it to /opt/ folder
$sudo mv copy/ /opt/copy
4- Optional - I like to download a icon too.
https://www.copy.com/include/images/images-std/about-copycrane.png?v=jenkins-Copy_Web_Production-312
download it and copy it to /opt/copy/, change its name to logo.png
5- Create a ln for use a command:
For 32bit users
$sudo ln -s /opt/copy/x86/CopyAgent /usr/bin/copy_agent
for 64bit users
$sudo ln -s /opt/copy/x86_64/CopyAgent /usr/bin/copy_agent
6- create links
$sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/copy.desktop
And put this content on it:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Copy
GenericName=File Synchronizer
Comment=Sync your files across computers and to the web
Exec=copy_agent
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Icon=/opt/copy/logo.png
Categories=Network;FileTransfer;
StartupNotify=false
Now its just insert the copy_agent command on your startup applications.
Proceed the following:
$sudo nano /etc/rc.local
type in it before the exit 0:
copy_agent
Done
Have fun!

Bud, just go straight and forward to your recovery TWRP or CWM and proceed a cache wipe, it will probably fix the FC.
FYI I never faced such problem, furthermore the copy app eats almost nothing of memory if compared with dropbox.

Chill out.. why are you so angry?
There is much more things to worry about than with this.. "no sense" thing. Actually, I think that "no sense" is this discussion and commentaries you did. Just report to the moderator and done.. we are not judges here to judge someone.
I am not telling he is right, but, ops, he helped that guy who asked first! Including me! Yes, it was a referral link.. it's not correct. But who is perfect?! Who never fails in your own ways? You? For sure I don't.
For this reason.. chill out.. our president is doing much more f**** wrong things.. with this we should worry and get angry about..
And yes, these all things are wrong.. but what don't worth is to blamming someone for helping others like me. And as I told you before.. I don't have 1% in my thanks meter than he has.. so I cannot talk to much about him.. I don't help too many like him.. and about you? And oh, I am not his personal friend.. I am just thankful for his collaboration and help.
Again, my 2 cents. Oh, and please, since as someone asked the moderator to remove the link, btw thanks to Moderator for that, so please stop this discussion about this.
Going back to the TOPIC now:
I don't know how to include this service on my start up. Anyone can help please? And I did a wipe cache but now good results..
Thanks

I also do not have problems. Working perfectly on my ubuntu and on my cyanogemmod using the provided instructions.
I wonder why people likes to get into confusions and fights around XDA. It's amazing and sad. Just let it go. Thumb down for the fighters over here.
There is no fight. The referral link was removed and it's over.
I'm not sure why the kid is butt-hurt, but "That's life" as the saying goes.
I hope he figures out the problem with his machine.
