need help - Acer Iconia A500

hi i can one with a little time upload a ubuntu 11.10 ive tryid creating my own rootfs ive tryid asking for help here but no one helps
who ever got 11.10 working from the external sdcard please share it with me. im not try to offend or get anybody upset i just dont know what else to do

You probably don't get many answers, as most people have enough issues flashing roms and using Recovery properly
So in effect, only the hard core dev's install linux on their SD cards. So chances are, the reason nobody helps, is that nobody does this, so nobody has an answer.

As far as I know, it's the only thread covering this.

Lotta time
I've spent gobs of time trying to figure out how to install linux from just the directions that moscow_desire posted above when they first were posted. They're very vague, in that only developers would understand it completely. Therefore, I finally took the hint and stopped trying to crack my bootloader to load this... sadly... I'm hoping that the app talked about later on in that thread will be developed for the a500, but it's doubtful. Either that or I'm just gonna have to sit down and really try for days to do it.
If you ever get anywhere with it let me know, it'd be interesting to have linux; albeit I don't really know how productive you can be with it.

there is an app on play store named ubuntu installer
also available in xda
it uses virtual image to run
and a vnc to connect to it
so its not a multi boot it runs on your android and your device must have enough memory to run the os properly
and about the version i think you could make your own ubuntu by getting an image by vmware

linux

Hi
I was wondering if there has been any progress on linux for the HTC wizard at all?
i was speaking to somebody who had an ipaq running linux and the great thing was that it was being booted from the SD card!
is anything like this possible with the wizard? he mentioned something about 'haret'
thanx
http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php

i had actually used the search. you try searching for wizard linux or any combination and let me know if you come up with anything concrete like the things i asked.....is there a build available!?!and by available i mean, a link to download and guide to install

Hi everyone, I hate being a noob when it comes to the installation of Android but it just isn't happening for me. Is there anyone in the New Brunswick Area of Nj that can help?

It's not rocket sceince. Have a look @ the link below & download the file package under "Setup". If that package will work then you should be able to run Android on your phone. If you have already tried to run Android on your phone then something is probably a miss in the default.txt file. In the command line you need to make sure the "panel_type=1". If this particular Androind package works for you, then you can use the default.txt in other builds.

Are you trying to flash or run if off your sd? Have you read through all the threads. Hero builds can be a bit frustrating sometimes especially for beginners; at least in my opinion. Either way, Jamezelle's Nand Kit is how I flashed to that ROM. It comes with everthing you need.
Also, have you read this? It should answer all your questions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=603508
Good Luck!!!
I'm not insanely far if you really want to try. Warm Donut is the best one, honestly.

[Q] How to root Xperia10 having R2CA016 build number

The one-click root works on the AT&T version. You will need to sideload the apk file using ADB or Android Central Sideload Wonder Machine (SWM). There are several threads here discussing this. Try doing a search of this forum.
wow not much help
Somd people get errors when using the sideloder and dont even get me started on just try fixing the error or googleing it.
It sucks that such a forum exists and people arent willing to help there to lazy since they already got the help they needed and dont wana contribute since.there are users also having the same frustrations they once had!
people just dont want to have to answer the same questions over and over again when a simple search would turn up the answer.
So far I think this forum has pretty much answered every problem ive had with my x10 and its usually already been answered and I havent had to start a new thread.
thing is some people arent that computer savy and really would like to get the most of their phone without screwing anything up and i mean all this apk and sdk and seus ect... can get some people confused if it could get all tied up into one simple explanation that could do it also theres thousands of threads on this forum having to do with rooting i dont think one has enough time to be looking over every single one of these threads it is pretty DREADDDDFULLLLLLL
IF you need help rooting PM i will gladly help you out

There is a post in the Q/A section where I posted how to fix the issue where the phone isn't detected. I'm pretty new to android myself, but I've been in IT for going on close to 15 years now, so if I don't know exactly how to fix it I sure as hell can figure it out. The best way I've found to get SWM (it's really adb that's detecting the phone) to see it is by removing the sdk if you have it (just the 1.6 files), uninstalling the driver from device manager, and redownload the 1.6 files for the sdk. I've done it a number of times and it's worked every single time.
I don't think I have full root though, but all I really needed root for was to remove the at&t apps. I used SWM to sideload the exploid one-click root apk (x10root), ran that to get the SuperUser app, then downloaded Titanium from the market to remove the AT&T apps.

[Q] Anrdroid Emulator

Hi,
I'm trying to experiment with making my own build, but for the first instance I'm trying to gain an understanding of how everything is working by working with a current build.
I'm using eclipse in linux with the android sdk etc.
My question relates to running already prepared builds in the emulator. From what I understand in the sdk/platform folder I should be able to place the system.img file from a current build and run it on the emulator, however when I try this the emulator appears to freeze.
What am I doing wrong or missing?
Thanks in advance.
I think i"ll follow this thread pretty closely, i've been wanting to run android on win xp sp3, thru my sdk setup, and would like to know how to as well. Maybe somebody with the proper know-how will be generous enough to post a brief guide, enough to point us noobs in the right direction to get builds running on our pc's. I'd like to be able to use the sdk to troubleshoot, fiddle around, and test a few things out, among other things.
If some kind soul would be willing to post a couple of good links, i'd be willing to read up, give it a go, and do my best at making a guide/tut for running android in the sdk

Have you downloaded Eclipse? I can manage to run the SDK platform in the Android Emulator, but for some reason I'm having trouble with modified/custom Roms.

No, i havent. I thought you could just run android from the sdk. I'll check it out when i get home. Thanks, i'll let u know how it goes as soon as i get it all set up

You want to download eclipse, then install the ADT, you'll find instructions on the android developers site under the SDK tab, enjoy.

[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?

Wooo - make fun of the kid! Why would anyone want to encourage learning! I'm a hypocrite, but only this once: If you're going to reply, at least attempt to answer his question or make progress towards an answer.
As long as actual development happens. I'm all for support.

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:

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. Thank you very much
