Did a search and did not find anything so m question is as follows, are there any flashers that run on ubuntu?
Wow talk about a dead forum good thing i own an android
There's nothing wrong with the forum, you just need to ask right questions, and possibly search for the answer in existing threads before you post a new one. Do this magic and the forum will open its door for you...
P.S. WTF is an android? Is it some kind of kitchen appliance?
+one on the Android whiplash
WP7 downloader is a Sammy engineering tool, just like you have Odin for the Android. They are not public tools. Flashing is important and therefore, the OS that's running the flasher is more important. For win, there are two versions avail, X86 and 64 bit.For Linux, the distros are quite a larger number. This is why manufacturers tend to develop the flashing tool for a wide-spread and supported platform. Some smart guys developed a flasher for a Linux distro under Linux. ODIN's replacement is called Heimdall.
Chances that MS would develop a flasher under linux are slim.
On the other hand, you could ask Cotulla if he's willing to develop a flashing app for Ubuntu. Chances that he'll do it are also slim.
Good you're on Android and not on a dead forum.

To answer the question that everyone is thinking as they click on this thread... Yes, I am a noob.
Anyway, I downloaded the Android Kitchen and installed it on a Linux Ubuntu Virtual Machine on my Macbook using VMWare Fusion and i watched a video from theunlockr, but all it really let me do was add in apps, change the rom name and give it a few features but no visual customizations... If i posted a link of the "My ROM" no one would be able to tell a difference in the rom i planned on starting from.
Let me know if there is a different way to create that is actually making ROMs or customizing the ROM in it's entirety instead of small unnoticeable features, let me know if I'm just doing something wrong in my Android Kitchen and let me know if theres an easy way to develop ROMs on Mac without Virtual Machines. (The last one isn't a big worry because linux is very lightweight and runs fine on my computer but please help me on the other two questions)
Thanks in advance,

i dont really knw if its out there,bt i couldnt find it
i want to run redhat on my HD2 as m learning linux on it in my college,i found plenty of guides for several destros here,bt i couldnt find anythin abt redhat
now since i dont wanna ask any of the already busy xda developers to make one just so that i want it, can any1 PLEASE upload an universal guide to run ANY linux distro on hd2?? it wld be helpful to every1
thank you very much(for all the things my hd2 can do ryt now,and will be able to do in future coz of xda )
First, you need RedHat support ARM
Second, compile your own kernel...
ok thanks,so ubuntu that these mighty helpful developers of xda have uploaded was compatible with arm7??
i can try my hand on kernel i think....
Sorry for late answer, but this might be helpful to someone.
HTC-Linux wiki has guide on running any gnu/linux you want on HD2. You just need to replace Ubuntu rootfs with one of your desired distro.
(I would post a link but have written too few posts. So just google "htc-linux.org" and search for page Ubuntu/Leo)
Hi,
I would like to test the roms I can find here, on an emulator.
for that, I will need something like the SDK for the Acer tablet A500.
(to build my AVD)
I can't find it. anyone have an idea where I can find it ?
thanks
Olivier
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=android+sdk
ah ah ah . so fun )
unfortunatly, it is not provided by google !
I know well the android SDK, I am talking about a small part which is sometime provided by constructor in order to help the developper to build application with android SDK.
for example, Sony provides the SDK part for some of its device. it has to be added to the android SDK.
I think it could comes from Acer, or developer who has it because they are working near or far from this (in the same way, the Leak comes from someone which is near from developer team)
I am still looking for that.
thanks
Olivier
Im totally confused as to what you are looking for.. If its reference sdk from acer . They have not provided this.. I think its something they provide to google then google adds it to the sdk. or acer will provide a repo to add to your sdk.
now here is what setup i have..
1 download the sdk tools from developer.android.com/sdk i think is the url (use search )
2. download eclipse (there is a link on the developer.android.com site)
3 download the correct FULL Java library abe sure to read the requirements on the version of eclipse you use for what jave version you need )
4 Read read READ .. Read the how to install sdk development environment in Eclipse for your EXACT OS . Pay close attention to every detail. like is is x86 x64 and so on.
5 Follow the instructions word for word on again the install and setup for android development platform for your OS Version.
This is what i use as well as CYGWIN (this is for advanced users) As well as there are other tools that make developing much easier. YES IM NEW TO all of this as well.But have learned alot over the last year.
The above only gets you ready. Once you get to this point . KEEP . WELL YOU KNOW THIS Part already KEEP READING.. in a few weeks you will on your way.
GOOD LUCK developer.android.com has everything your asking and beyond.
If any of the above is incorrect Blame it on developer.android.com or the mighty thor. god of the universe..
I find it a bit troubling that this forum is called HD2: Ubuntu, when the latest Ubuntu build here is utterly outdated, tons of other Linux distros have been featured, and that the only viable Linux release on the HD2 is based on Debian.
Why not just rename it to HD2: Linux? On that same topic, we should merge the HD2 Meego forum into this one, it's Linux in itself, and any development involving Mer or Meego would use the same AD SD method. (though it's not like much work is going into that anyway...)
Following your logic we can merge android development in here too. Ubuntu is linux as much as android is linux. Linux is just the kernel and the whole OS use GNU software together with the Linux kernel, thats why these OS shuld be called GNU/Linux distributions, and not Linux distributions. I would suggest renaming it to HD2: GNU/Linux.
agree with you
Hi, first of all, sorry if this is an stupid question, or if I'm underestimating the difficulty of porting this kinds of software, or if I'm saying something wrong.
I really like GNU/Linux mobile distros like Sailfish OS, Lune OS, Ubuntu Touch and Plasma Mobile, they use Halium for base for using our hardware, Is someone already trying to port Halium for our device or is there already an existing port? That would open a new world of OSs for our device.
If anyone hasn't ported Halium yet I could give it a try; However, I have 0 experience porting stuff, so I can promise nothing, I'm good using Linux and reading documentation and guides though, but I don't know if that will be enough.
Again, sorry if I'm underestimating the difficult of porting, if I'm saying something wrong and if I can't make myself understood.
Edit: I'm not actually working on the project because I haven't the phone. I did a progress when I had it, anyone interested in the project can PM if get stuck or need help or guide. Thanks for everything, great community.
