Hi, I am totally a layman about the Android system. I only know following the directions of how to do. Thing is I am trying to use apple ethernet usb in my thinkpad tablet. I only find this information of the drive in the internet.
the-wozi.com/blog/2012/04/11/asix-ax88772b-driver-for-android-honeycomb-3-1-for-the-lenovo-thinkpad-tablet
But this drive is for Android Honeycomb 3.1, my tablet has updated to Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0. So when I run the asix.ko in a terminal, it showed "exec format error". I think maybe the problem is Android system does not match.
So I am here to ask for help if someone knows how to modify the drive for Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0. Thinks a lot!

I actually really like the A500 as is (better than the w500 and Viewpad), but I really need something I can run Linux on, and has the portability of a tablet.
Is there a way to boot these from a flash-drive, or to otherwise install an O/S on the, er, drive?
Anyone? Bueller?
You would need a custom bootloader, and since we don't really have direct access for a custom recovery, there's not a whole lot you can do. On top of that, you would need all the right drivers for the hardware, which you probably won't find in any off-the-shelf distro.
Android is based on the Linux kernel, is there something you really need Linux for that Android can't do?
There is probably a Chroot option - there usually is for Android devices. This means that the distro will use the existing Linux kernel and its modules. However, this will of course mean that resource will still be used by Android as well as your distro and that you will access it via an Android VNC client. Check the Xoom forums, I am sure there is a tutorial there which should work here.
I really want a native dual boot setup. I really hope this bootloader gets hacked to pieces.
EDIT - You could get the W500 and hope that the ANDROID x86 crowd get Honeycomb up 'n' running. However, since the sourcecode still hasn't been released a tablet worthy build may be some time away. I doubt Honeycomb source will ever be released. They will probably just skip it and release Icecream Sandwich!
EDIT EDIT - follow this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=987740&page=7. This should work on all Tegra SOC based devices.
Hi all,
I got Ubuntu running on my Asus Transformer via the chroot method. Now, I installed Eclipse and wanted to start developing my Android Apps on the tablet.
Problem is the Android SDK tools are compiled for x86.
Does anybody know how to compile them for ARM or maybe even have a download link?
It'd be sooo cool to be able to dev on the Transfomer as it has this awesome physical keyboard dock!
Any ideas are highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris
I also run a chroot (debian squeeze) on my optimus v. you're lucky to have a keyboard port! I'm stuck with a stupid touch-keyboard without programmer keys.
I have looked for an ARM-based SDK myself as well, with no success.
some of the binaries would be useless on-device without usb-otg host mode, like adb and fastboot, but on capable devices those are needed too.
you already have an ARM-gcc toolchain too, so that piece is unnecessary as well.
maybe going through the SDK manually you could find exactly what parts are binaries to see about finding specific replacements compiled for ARM, or at least source for them.
the rest of the SDK should be portable without mods, unless something's so picky it requires sun-java instead of open-java.
keep us posted!

Hi !
Someone has tried App Inventor on the Transformer?
just want to know, im interesed on android development.
I just installed it on my G2x running Gingerbread. I'm not sure about Honeycomb.
The process was pretty simple. I think you just needed drivers installed. I had no problem. I don't think you will either but perhaps someone could give a more solid answer
Just tried this myself, and would be interested to know if anybody else has gotten it working. I'm on Windows 7 64-bit, and have the Asus USB driver installed. (The Transformer shows in Device Manager as ASUS Android Composite ADB Interface, under ASUS Android Devices.)
I have USB debugging and Stay awake checked on the tablet under Applications :: Development, and I have App Inventor installed and working. When I click to Open the Blocks Editor, it opens correctly, but when I click "Connect to Device", the dropdown just says "No available devices".
...and that's where I'm stuck. Any suggestions gratefully accepted. ;-)
It works...kind of. I have it running with Ubuntu Linux, but haven't figured out how to make it work full screen. As far as not being recognized by block editor, make sure you have adb running properly. After I got that working right, the rest did too...
I've been trying to connect my Xperia arc to my Ubuntu machine with MTP, but I can't seem to make it work.
MSC mode works flawlessly, but I hate having to mount my SD card because many of my applications are not available while mounted.
I've filled a bug with Ubuntu here, but nobody has an answer.
Does anybody out here uses Linux (specifically Ubuntu) and has been able to connect their phone with MTP? If so, how?
ADB also works without a problem, what I was thinking is that maybe adb drivers are conflicting with MTP, I'm just speculating...
I could never make MTP (Gingerbread) to work on Ubuntu...!!!
Now when I upgraded my phone to ICS, It works in MTP...!!!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In my case, I have to wait until I get the upgrade. Perhaps Gingerbread is fated to oblivion?
The sad story
This is the sad story of MTP in gingerbread and ubuntu.
I recently picked up an A500 and it's now running ICS 4.0.3. I would like to update to JellyBean but apparently need to root the device to do that.
I got the Mac OS X version of adb but it doesn't see the device when I attach it by USB cable.
I found a video that mentioned needing a "driver" but the link for Mac is "down for maintenance".
Suggestions, pointers, etc appreciated.
(Please don't suggest Android File Transfer. a) it doesn't work; I've tried it. b) unless there's some magic way for that to root the phone I don;t think it will help.)
