Switched to linux

After switching to linux, my phone no longer recognizes my computer and doesnt give the option to go to disc mode, sorry if its a dumb question but could someone tell me what i need to do to get it working again? Im not familiar with the os yet so im clueless.

you can't use mass storage mode?

Do you have debug turned on on the phone?

Thats because Linux doesnt see your phone. You need to setup UDEV to recognize your Hero. Follow this tutorial. And when I say "Follow" I MEAN FOLLOW. No skipping.

What flavor do you have?

im using mint i think its based on ubuntu

So, did you follow directions? Should work with any flavor of Linux.

im trying but i dont have a .bashrc file so i made one and when i put this code (sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart) into the terminal i get
(Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)
utility, e.g. service udev restart
Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an
Upstart job, you may also use the restart(8) utility, e.g. restart udev
udev start/running, process 2427)

No, you don't have to reinstall Linux.

Mint is a derivative of Ubuntu, so yes, it's based off of it.

You don't need to create the .bashrc file... it's already there. The period in front of the bashrc indicates that the file is hidden.
To see hidden files, run this command:
Code:
[B]ls -a[/B]
This will show you hidden files, any files with a period in front of it, will always be hidden.

Or navigate to the folder that it says that it is in and press ctrl + h
This will show you all the hidden files inside of the folder. Without having to use the terminal.

Did you try pulling down the status bar and clicking on Charge Only to set it to disk mode?
If all else fails you can reboot to recovery and USB-MS toggle. If that doesn't work then something is messed up in your distro. Test if mounting works while in recovery and report your results.

I already did the control + h to show hidden folders and there isnt a .bashrc there is one under etc except it is bash.bashrc and i cant edit it , and i already tried the usb-ms toggle in recovery and nothing happened. Thanks for all the help so far guys, and if there is something wrong with my distro i dont mind getting a new one, does anyone have and suggestions on what to go with though?

There shouldnt be anything wrong with your Distro. Mint is built off Ubuntu so in essence it should work. Maybe download Ubuntu.

i think ill make a live disc of ubuntu and see if my phone is recognized at that point and if not then i wont install it

You cant edit it because you have to have root access. You should try typing in terminal sudo chmod permissions to give you root access. Im definitely not that good at linux but i figured out a majority of it.

make a file in /etc/udev/rules.d/ called 51-android.rules
here is mine.
Code:
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666" , GROUP="plugdev"
Make sure you belong to the plugdev group, you probably already are. I can execute adb commands without being root user.

Need Mac Beta Testers: Interface for Pushing Files

Hello,
I need beta testers running Mac OS X to test a new application.
This application is for people who are either uncomfortable or unwilling to use Terminal and ./adb for pushing files to their device.
This first beta version is just to test how it works on different computers. It pushes the file to the sdcard of the phone using ./adb. The only input needed from the user is to select the file.
Later releases will let the user choose which folder on the device to copy to, but the next release will probably just involve pushing .apk to the /system/app folder.
Please let me know the results.
http://derekcwilkinson.com/PushFile.zip
Beta 2:
http://derekcwilkinson.com/Push_File_Beta_2.zip
Change Log:
Added option to choose the location that the file is to be pushed to.
Added Recovery application
Added Reboot application.
Planned Updates:
Pull File - Ready
Device Backup - PM me if you know a good way to backup with ./adb (mine is taking too long)
Device Backup w/SD - PM me if you know a good way to backup with ./adb (mine is taking too long)
Install .apk - testing
Uninstall .apk - testing
Restore Backup - going to take awhile (need to get device backup working first)
Restore Backup w/SD - going to take awhile (need to get device backup working first)
Flash ROM - testing

is this an actual program or a script?

Works fine for me

It's a program that runs a script
It's just a test to see how it works, I will turn it into a more "real" application later.

I've updated it to Beta 2

Ah, you're using a different language. That could be the problem. Is the folder path still /Documents/Android/SDK/tools on your computer?
Also, when you run it in Automator, where does the error occur?

The folder path in my iMac is /Users/Rainbow/Documents/Android/SDK/tools
the error occur after a few seconds after click OK after choosing the file to be sent to MemoryCard

Okay, if it doesn't occur until then, that means it sees the device and android SDK. Is the SD card mounted on the computer? are you copying to /sdcard/ as the file path?

i don't understand this_ " are you copying to /sdcard/ as the file path?" sorry

When that window pops up (the one in your screenshot) are you putting /sdcard/ in the text box?

im going to try your app out =]
excited.

Sick of windows..
I am so sick of using a windows computer to do anything on my Hero so as soon as I get home tomorrow I will be trying this out on my system. SL 10.6.4 and I will be so happy to do it..

404 File not found. I'd love to help test this - can someone please re-upload the zip?

I'm a bit confused--PushFile is for pushing files from your Mac to phone (in other words, a computer-side application), while Root Explorer is a file manager for the phone (a phone side app), that, unless I've missed something, does not replicate the functionality that PushFile attempted to provide. Am I missing some cool new feature of Root Explorer that lets you easily transfer files from your Mac to your phone?

Extracting image from GSLATE Tablet

Not sure if this is the correct section, but I have a LGV909(GSlate Tablet) and the Xoom. How would I go about extracting some of the apks off the v909 to import on the Xoom.
Thanks,

Errrrmmm....easiest way would be ADB...but your might need root on both devices.
pretty much turn on USB Debugging. Plug in the GSlate.
adb pull /remote/file/on/device.apk C:\Where\You\Want\TheFile
turn it around to put it on the xoom
adb push C:\Where\You\Want\TheFile /remote/file/on/device.apk
If that isn't detailed enough you should probably read up on ADB, its pretty novice stuff that really needs to be known for any [email protected]

Download ES Explorer from the Market.
Launch it on your tablet and choose Menu > Manager > App Manager
Find the app you want to backup APK and long tap and hold on it and choose "Backup".
The APK backups are saved to your sdcard/backups/apps.
You can get them to the Xoom using various methods like DropBox.

I didn't know GSlate has been released.
Is this the 3d Android tablet?

Well most are /data/ or /system/data/
you can type adb shell to get to a command line on the device
cd /from/dir /to/dir - to change directories
ls - to list contents of a directory
both those should give you a general idea of where to go.

Yeah details on how you got your G-slate already. I'm curious as to how it compares with the Xoom.

I was able to extract from the xoom, but not the LG,
When I list the devices, only the Xoom comes up. I am guessing the I need a driver for the slate. .
I will try the ES explorer mentioned in the earlier post

Send me an IM for the URL

Quick and Easy Method that, although I can't explain why it works, worked for me:
1. Download "File Station for Tablets" from the Market (it's free)
2. Wait for Install
3. Launch the App
4. Tap the Menu button at the very top right part of the screen
5. Tap "Special Folders"
6. Tap "Root Directory"
7. Double-tap "App"
8. Boom - here's all the stock apps that came with the G-Slate. Copy and paste whatever you need to the SD card, then transfer from SD card to computer/dropbox/etc.
9. Transfer apk onto your Xoom, install. DONE

Duel booting thread Finished :)

One of my favorite things about android is being able to duel-boot os's and playing around with Linux distros ,but ive seen a drop off of them being brought to Android sadly . so im starting this thread in order to get all the duel-boot,chroot boots and all other ones into one place if i forget one please let me now and ill do my best to add it
Note these are not all native boots and i take no responsibility for anything that happens to your device, these are not mine either and the owners should be thanked im just bringing them together :victory:
Native Boots
My favorite and best (in my opinion) are the native boots Starting off is Ubuntu as a native boot
UBUNTU
The original creators in bringing Ubuntu to the Acer a500 first are right here on XDA netham45 and sp3dev The original thread can be found here Here
To start off on booting Ubuntu Natively you're going to need Root obviously and acer recovery installer which can be downloaded from the Android market
for the sake of this tutorial ill go over booting it off the internal storage :laugh:
1.Start by making sure you have 8gigs free of internal storage as this is how big the .rar is unpacked
2. after you download acer recovery installer youll need to flash this recovery Here
3. After that download all 3 of these .rar's onto your pc put them in a folder of there own and extract the first one they should all merge giving you one rootfs File1 File2 File3
4.once you get the rootfs move it to the home directory of your internal storage
5. power off your tab and boot into your recovery using power and volume- and your good to go
6.some tweaks you could do would be
For sound
Code:
usermod -a -G audio <your username here>
For cpu frequency scale
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:artfwo/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install indicator-cpufreq
it will appear in you task bar on reboot best set to performance
:laugh:
Backtrack
Ive been told it works the same way but replacing the ubuntu.img with the backtrack.img which you can download from
http://www.backtrack-linux.org/
Cannot confirm this if someone tests it please reply back
BODHI LINUX
Bodhi Linux is another Linux brought to android with the dev being here on XDA apapousek Make sure to look at the original thread and thank it Here
There are to differant builds Alpha1 and Alpha2 ill be going over Alpha2
1.Start off by using gparted or any partitioning tool should work, and partion your micro sdcard make the first one as ext4 and make it at least 1.5gb name it bodhi make your second partition 128mb at least of fat32 format
2.mount the partitions
3.download bodhi Linux from Here
4.Extract the bodhi tarball to the root of your micro sdcard by using the commands
Code:
sudo su
cd /media/bodhi/
tar -jxvf /home/name/bodhi_alpha2.tar.bz2
5.Copy recovery.img to the second partition and flash it using Acer recovery installer from Here
6.Boot into recovery and you should be good to go
7.once booted into bodhi open terminal and type in setupwifi
CHROOT
Not as good in my opinion alot less functionality but there still fun for testing out a Linux distro and require less space without having to sacrifice your recoveryThere basically running a virtual machine on top of android to run a Linux distro all the ones I've tried have been slower so i just tend to stay away from them but feel free too XD
First of all there's a couple of different apps that will help you get it installed hassle free (for the most part)
starting off there's Linux installer standard Here
There's also Complete Linux installer with two donate versions available Here
Manual Method
There's also a more manual way of setting up chroot.
1.Make sure you have a terminal emulator Here 7zip Here and a .img file for a linux distro ill put up backtrack since it seems to work well make sure you get the ARM version of Backtrack And finally Android VNC Here
2.Download the .Img file of your choice in this case Backtrack 5 and extract it once this is done you will get another folder with bt5.img.gz and a whole other bunch files right click on the bt5.img.gz and go to extract here now copy them all into a folder called BT5
3.copy the folder called BT5 to the internal storage of your device it will be around 5gigs
4.Make sure you have Root access and busybox installed
5.Now open up your terminal emulator app and type in
Code:
su
cd/sdcard/BT5
Then hit enter and type in
Code:
sh bootbt
You should see [email protected] if it worked if it did then you can go ahead and use BT5 commands or you can get a gui by typing in.
Code:
tightvncserver -geometry 1280x800
Hit enter then type in
export USER=root
hit enter then
vncpasswd
Now its going to ask you for a password just create any random one and then verify it . After that it will ask you if you want to create a view only password hit n
6.Finally open VNC android you'll have nickname which doesn't matter port which is usually 5901 if that doesn't work try 5902 or 5903 address leave bank and make sure your connected to [email protected] just hit connect and your done one final thing to remember though is when you want to exit you have to go back to terminal and type in exit to shutdown
WINDOWS
WINDOWS95
windows is actually run through an app which emulates it i believe it has little to none drivers instaled and you cant really do much that ive found but its fun to mess around with and show off :laugh: to get this up and running is pretty simple all you have to do is.
1.Download this .rar HERE
2.Extract the folder to get a sdl.apk and a folder called sdcard move both of them to the root of your sdcard
3install the .apk and open it when shutting down though you have shutdown the right way by hiiting shutdown if you dont on reboot youll get a scandisk error
WINDOWS XP
Windows xp is even slower more useless and way more complicated to run BUT its still kinda cool to have
1.First you'll want to download everything you'll need bochs for android from HERE Sdl.zip from HERE Bochs for pc from HERE and Qumu manager for pc HERE. Last thing you will need is a windows xp.iso file not .img but .iso (ide post one but i read somewhere its ilegal to post .iso for windows :/ )
2.Download and install boch's for android on your tablet then move the SDL.zip to the root of your SDcard
3.Install Boch's and Qemu manager onto your pc
4. what you going to need to do is run a virtual machine with the .iso you have so first thing you'll want to do is once you install Boch's for your pc hit the start button then go to all programs and find the Boch's folder inside of that folder there should be a program called Disk image creation tool.
5. Next type in hd then hit enter, after that type in flat then hit enter ten after that its telling you what size you want it to be usually windows xp doesnt need more than 1.5gb so type in 1500 and hit enter then finally type in c.img and hit enter.
6. Now you want to open Qemu, once inside Qemu you want to start a new virtual machine do this by going to the vm tab and click on new virtual machine.
7.you can give it any nickname it doesnt matter just give it one and hit next.
8.Now it wants to know how much ram you want to allocate to this virtual machine 512mb to 1gb is usually fine pick and hit next.
9. Then hit finish now what you want to do is install the .iso to the blank image file but you need to specify what it is so go to the drives tab, click on Harddisk zero.
10.now you have to find the file c.img its usually located in program files/bochs you might have to make sure all files is selected in your file type bar.
11.Select thec.img file and hit ok
12. Now you want to click on your cd-rom that is your windows xp.iso file so browse and find your windows xp.iso and click ok.
13.Now your ready to run your virtual machine just hit the run button (green one) and if everything went alright you should see it start to boot up.
14. Now you'll have some on screen prompts make sure you follow them and choose ntfs file system when it prompts you to. (process will take 30min+ depending on computer speed)
15. Once your installation has been completed and your at the desktop you want to stop virtual machine. click yes end session. (i know right all that time just to spend two seconds in it)
16.Now you want to find the c.img file which is no longer blank and has windows xp installed to it. Usually in program files/bochs copy it then paste it inside the folder called sdl on your sdcard. If there is already a c.img inside of it just overwrite it.
17.okay almost done (i promise ) your going to want to copy all this code
Code:
megs: 256
cpu: count=1, ips=6000000, reset_on_triple_fault=1, ignore_bad_msrs=1
# filename of ROM images
romimage: file=BIOS-bochs-latest

log: bochsout.txt
sb16: enabled=1
mouse: enabled=1
sb16: wavemode=1, dmatimer=500000
clock: sync=none, time0=1
Now go to your sdcard/and go the sdl folder and find the bochssrc.txt file overwrite everything in that file with the lines of code you just copied
The megs value at the top is how much ram you want to allocate to windows xp
18 Save te text document and your ready to run windows xp just open up bochs on your phone
Miscellaneous
These are all the os's that ive found that have been duel booted but are not worth it or a tutuoriol was never released will update it as i find them.
so far the only one i know of is Armedslack thsnks to hellvy from what i know of its the same way as bodhi linux but using armedslack packages
MAC OS
Im trying to figure out old mac os and newer ones right now ill be righting a tut once i get it figured out

Just adding another distro. I'm running ARMEDslack. You can use BODHI LINUX approach for installation, but use armedslack's Mini root filesystems instead. For me, there's so many stuff i have to do after installation (mainly recompiling apps & libs) and i'm not sure if anyone interesting in Slackware distro this day. So i'm not recommend this distro unless you have too much free time and know how Slackware work
Another thing, is there anyone get nvidia display driver works? i can't see any practical step to get it working, just ac100 display driver unbuntu package. If anyone get it working, pls share xorg.conf to me

How well does Linux(mainly Ubuntu) run on the A500? Like is it smooth and all the various controls work well.
Does the HDMI out work? If so can you extend the desktop through the HDMI out to another screen. Like have two different windows on each screen.

I'm not sure bout hdmi if you do all the tweaks it runs reasonably well but won't run games and still lags when opening huge programs i had it for a couple of months for the most part you can install whatever you want some programs have missing repositories and you would need to create you own but there not that common i used it for compiling c+ as i need the multiwindow to do it but it will most likely crash if you try to update it i updated it to 12.04 successfully but was then having wifi problems you wil need an external usb keynoard to set it up at first when you boot up click on the top right corner and connect to wifi before doing the setup saves you a couple of steps

I dont believe so someone could always make one....

Backtrack works natively.
If you go on kernel-xp website there is a RTL8187 kernel for chroot which works well. Its based on acer ICS source code

[Q] [Multirom/Ubuntu 13.04] Access internal memory from Ubuntu

Hi all,
First of all, Multirom: Great work !!! Using Ubuntu 13.04 Desktop for my schoolwork on my N7 and works perfectly.
Except, I can't get to my internal storage (aka SDCard, /storage/emulated/0/) from Ubuntu.
I have done some research and so far, the only conclusion I have for it not to work, is because Multirom uses some sort of chroot jail for the ubuntu folder. I have done some adjustments of the init script and the local script (located at the ubuntu folder inside the Multirom folder), but it had no success.. I tried to make a hardlink from /storage/emulated/0 to a folder inside my Ubuntu "chroot", but it doesnt work.
Does anyone has any idea at all on how to fix this?

I downloaded dolphin from the software center. After installed, open terminal and type "sudo dolphin". Provide root password and dolphin will open. Your internal sdcard contents will be available in the left payne of the dolphin window.
It is not that multirom is in a chroot jail. The "multirom" folder on the sdcard is just given different permissions to keep the media scanner in android from getting access to it, so it is not running and looking for media there.

Thanks ! Tried and succeeded.
For anyone else: you do need to be root in order to access the folders, as above mentioned.

this doesnt work for me. i can see my 28GiB filesystem but cant find the sdcard part of it and i was root
