Linux Window Manager on Android.

Do any of you think it's possible to run a full blown Window manager on our phones?
Not anything like gnome or kde, but awesome or lxde.
I have grown increasingly tired of all of Android's home applications.
Look forward to seeing comments

Well, I know you can run Debian Linux on our phones... I don't really think there is a point though because our CPU isn't powerful enough to make it very functional. The Droid may have a chance, and the Nexus One or Evo probably could.

Our phones should be powerful enough. Awesome and similar window managers use very little cpu.

wow, I'm no where near able to answer your question but what an interesting idea!! That would be very cool!
Thanks to REGAW helping me learn I used my new gnome bootable usb last night, how cool!!
Only downside is it doesn't save ANYTHING from the session, I'm going to partition some space for it on my hdd

id love to see ubuntu ported to our heros. the tp2 users have it, why not us?

I'd say Ubuntu is a bit too much I think a Debian port would be much more friendly.
Now that I think about it, I wonder if gentoo could be compiled on the phone and used as a phone.</off topic>
This topic is about running a *Window Manager* on the phone, not another operating system. I was reading about Android on the Wikipedia page earlier, and I read that there was no X support, so I dont think it would be very easy to get it working :/
Some of those manager are deathly simple. I guess they could potentionally be ported.

if you were running one of these overclocked roms would this change anything, I found this elsewhere, I didn't write it, you may have read it before:
OK, here's howto get Debian up and running on your HTC Hero running the MoDaCo Custom Rom 2.9:
1. Download this archive:
androidfanatic.com/cms/unofficial-app-repo.html?func=fileinfo&id=21
2. Extract the archive, resulting in a folder 'debian'. Inside this folder
replace 'installer.sh' and 'bootdeb' by the files provided with this howto.
Make sure they are replaced, delete the old ones first!
3. copy the folder 'debian' to the root of your sdcard. The root is the highest level, e.g.
drive E:\ if you are on a windows pc. Unmount sdcard on pc and phone.
4. Download ConnectBot from the market. See included QR-Code for use with Barcode Scanner app.
5. Start ConnectBot and open a local shell. To do so click on the drop down menu on the lower left
that says 'ssh' and select local.
6. As this is your first start of Debian you need to "install" it first. Execute the following
commands (press enter at the end of each line, always allow root access if asked):
su -
cd /sdcard/debian
sh installer.sh
bootdeb
At this point you are changing into the Debian environment. From now on do not restart
your phone or kill ConnectBot without executing 'exit' first. Now continue with commands:
/scripts/onetime.sh
exit
That's it, you are done! Now you can do whatever you want with your Debian installation.
7. To go into Debian from now on you use the following commands in a local shell in ConnectBot:
su -
bootdeb
You can automate that by passing these two commands as 'post-login automation' in ConnectBot,
long click the 'Local' entry in ConnectBot and edit the host.
Remember to leave with 'exit'! Alternatively you can click the trackball once and then press 'd'
on the keyboard. This resembles 'Ctrl+d', which is the logout command for unix shells. Do this
two times more to shut down the local shell in ConnectBot.
8. If you want to access your Debian by ssh execute the following command:
/etc/init.d/ssh start
9. To free some space in your image file execute the following command in the Debian environment:
apt-get clean
Do this also after every usage of 'apt-get upgrade' or 'apt-get install'.
10. For additional information here is howto resize your debian.img (for Linux only):
androidfanatic.com/cms/community-forums.html?func=view&id=1610&catid=9
And see here howto install a graphical desktop enviroment, in this case lxde or icewm:
(Note that i had to resize my debian.img first!)

@tmachovec: thanks for the info, but I'm looking to see if we can actually run it on the phone. Not connect to a fake X11 server over local ssh. I appresicate the input. But I'd like to run this on the phone

Gentoo has an ARM build, so it's possible.

Gnome, KDE, IceWM or LXDE Desktop on your Android! 1 Year, 2 Months ago Karma: 9
IMPORTANT UPDATE: Many comments on sites that have blogged this post seem to be getting the wrong end of the stick. This is not connecting to a remote desktop on another machine! This is x11 and LXDE Desktop running LOCALLY on the G1 device, the reason I had to connect back to LOCALHOST using VNCViewer (also running LOCALLY on the device) is because there are no drivers available. This circumnavigates the need for any special drivers.
Now back to business!
It's official you can run X-Windows and your choice of GUI (Gnome, KDE, IceWM etc on an Android device!
Screenshots are below!!

wow im lost in all this (NOT linux savy)
what does this mean?

Ok, so I've been trying to do this and I can never manage to get it working. When debian boots, it gives me an array of errors, but its too quick to reboot so I can't read whats wrong. I'm 99% sure it has something to do with the image being read off the sdcard. I read the installer script and manually moved all the necessary files because the script would not do it.
Yes, I ran everything as su
Has any one else had problems with this?
Thanks tmachovec

Any one have info on my problem?

I couldn't get it to load either, same problems with getting Debian to boot. I know a little about linux but not enough solve these issues.
noidea` , I have no idea.

just wondering has any one been able to do this successfully on their Hero's?

Run Android on your PC or Laptop..for real.

Want to run Android on your PC or Laptop?
This is pretty cool, did it this morning.
If you have troubles with getting your internet to work in it, what I did was put my EVO in USB tethering mode,plugged it into my PC..then booted the PC and it worked great.
1. Download Android from here..android-x86-1.6-r2.iso
2. Download UNetBootin
Now you have a few choices... either just burn the ISO to a cd (and boot your computer off it) or use unetbootin to make a usb thumb drive bootable with the ISO image on it.

ok so this looks bad a** but like is it a dual boot? or is it if you dont have the memory card you cant run it? im running ubuntu and think this would be pretty sweet if you have the UI of this but still have the functioning of ubuntu

I just booted up off a thumb drive so it doesn't effect your current os... you could also burn the ISO on to a cd and bootup off the CD...
You don't actually install this on your hard drive or anything. You could, but it'd be kinda pointless.

Would be very cool to run on a Netbook, see how android translates as a Netbook OS.

how about froyo2.2??

I tried it on my laptop Dell E4200 but I cannot run it. I tried all LIVE modes but nothing happened.

mine gets stuck on detecting android x86. I even tried burning the disk and got stuck in the same place. I really want to try this.

This is sick!! Can anyone think of any possible way to install apk files???? Can I add Google Apps somehow??

You can boot from Virtual PC too
Hi, i have successfully booted from Windows Virtual PC software..
You need to :
1. Download Windows Virtual PC
2. Go Bios to enable CPU virtualization technology(newer pc would have this function)
3. install the Windows Virtual PC software
4. Create a virtual disk
5. Give it any name
6. Go to Settings for that Virtual Disk
7. Search for dvd drive and point it to the android iso
8. Boot up the Virtual Drive you have created
9. select the third option, debug, and follow the instruction there, you should type exit twice to boot into android
10. Wella you have reached android
10a. Make sure you got a ethernet connection on your pc
10b. Try either ethernet port 1 or 2 to get connected to the internet by editing in the android ethernet settings.
Hope this helps

I would assume that the OS uses the flash drive as a filesystem- so put the APKs on the flash drive, download a file manager from the web and install using the file manager.
Also I can't get this to work in VirtualBox, it says the ISO file is invalid.

I read about this months ago but never did give it a go. I can only imagine how awesome this would be to run on a computer that has a touchscreen monitor.
That said... once windows releases a few of their tablets and we have the option to boot into android.............. AWESOME!!!

This is confusing...no matter how I try to start it, it always comes to a black screen with an underscore that blinks every couple of seconds

This came out just in time.....not even 3 days ago I was looking at live android, which has been discontinued as it seems

Mac OSX
I got a Macbook Pro and I wanted to try, so I used Parrells desktop and mounted the ISO as as a Windows 7 (unsure if that was right) but it seemed to work just fine
Check it out!
Android on OSX -

Got it running on my Acer Aspire one, wifi works and I can connect to the internet! this is awesome!

Wow, I can run it under VirtualBox on Fedora 13... nice. Unfortunetaly I do not have touch screen so handling is a little bit tricky.

i got it running in virtualbox. just set up a virtual system and use ubuntu linux as the virtual system to be created and use the defaults to create the system

I got it running on an HP DV6 laptop coppied it to a usb drive booted up and it works fine and the internet, nice work thanks for this

it runs great under vmware workstation 7. even internet works I just wished the real market was pre-installed. im pretty sure someone will get froyo into a iso now that this version is getting attention

will the touchscreen be usable if you install android on a Tablet or UMPC?
I'm getting a Sony Vaio UX this week and that would be a realy cool android device!!

[Guide] Android Emulator On Computer

If anyone is interested in running an Android emulator heres a short guide for it.
Step 1: ADB
If you haven't already, you need to install ADB on your computer. See this guide:
ADB Guide
Step 2: Configuration
Now open SDK Setup.exe from wherever your android-sdk-windows folder is and go to the [Virtual Devices] option and press [New]
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and this window will show up
Heres what to put
Name: Put something simple like "Android_2.2", etc
Target: From the dropdown box, select whichever Android version you want. I want Android 2.2 so I will select "Android 2.2 - API Level 8"
SD Card: Insert a size in MBs. I put 500(MB). The larger the size, the longer it will take to process. Ignore the File option
Skin: I would recommend you skip this option
Hardware: If you press the [New...] Button it will give you a bunch of options. Basically, you can configure if your emulator can support GPS, Dpad, Keyboard, etc. Most of them are enabled by default but you can increase the ram via "Device Ram Size". I set it to 500(MB) for example.
Heres what it should look like when finished
Click [Create AVD]
Step 3: Running The Emulator
Now open up CMD (Start>Run>Cmd) and enter the following commands:
cd c:\android-sdk-windows\tools (or wherever your "android-sdk-windows\tools" is)
emulator -avd "AVD Name" -partition-size 500 (AVD Name is whatever name you used in the beginning and 500 is the size of the emulators internal memory in MBs. You can increase the size if you want)
Now the emulator should show up and when its done booting up you should have something like this.
And you have your emulator
Step 4: Installing APKs
Now you might want to install some apps/games on it. You can either download APKs from the internet or rip them from your phone. First, open up another CMD (Start>Run>CMD) and type:
cd c:\android-sdk-windows\tools (Or whatever command you used in step 3)
To rip APKs from phone, connect phone to computer and put phone in USB Debugging mode Settings>Applications>Development>USB Debugging. Now go:
adb pull /data/app
Now in your android-sdk-windows\tools folder there should be a list of APKs. Now disconnect your phone and to install the APKs to the emulator, go:
adb install ______________.apk (Whatever the name is)
*NOTE* If you downloaded an APK from the internet, put it in the android-sdk-windows\tools folder first.
And there you have it. Enjoy!!!

TIPS
Will add tomorrow

Hi xGary,
i`ve done all the steps but when i type emualtor -avd Android -partition-size 500 tell me `emulator`is not recognized as an internal or esternal command, operable program or batch file.

Oh sorry, it was supposed to be emulator not emualtor. Typo

Thanks for the guide but how do you make the emulator landscape?

emulator does not show up
Hi,
I followed all the steps but after starting emulator from cmd no window came. Infact two or three times a black cmd window appeared and dissappeared instantly. was not able to read the text on the window.....
on other forums, somebody suggested to wait for a while....but i waited for about half n hour...nothing happened....
i can see a process "emulator.exe" in taskmanager which is consuming around 50% of cpu usage...and 18 MB ram......
My computer config: Pentium dual core with 4 GB of RAM
kindly guide....thanks in advance...

You may start the emulator by selecting the avd and press "Start" button. I did it today and works fine.
I just saw the guide here but luckily (I'm newbie to this) I did exactly the same steps except the start the emulator through CMD.

Btw if you go to se's dev website you can grab a preconfigured x10 avd.

Take a look at the description:

Sony Ericsson Xperia™ X10 add-on for the Android SDK
The Sony Ericsson Xperia™ X10 add-on for the Android SDK includes the complete Android system with additions customizing it for the X10 : Sony Ericsson splash screen; X10 colour backgrounds; A "skin" of the X10 which is a simple graphic of the front of the phone; A hardware.ini file to set the operating parameters for screen, camera, audio and so on.
According to date this "complete Android system with additions customizing it for the X10" is for Android 1.6. I didn't dig pretty deep, but search for a new version wasn't successful. It can be a base, but look like requires a lot of customization for current Android version.

@che
But what do you plan on doing with it? And can you not use the hardware profile while using 2.1 apis?
@ freco no prob

I think to try to program for Android and this profile allows to see how the program will look like at specifically X10 platform.

[PROGRAM] Command Line for Windows Mobile 6.1

I was looking for an easy installation of a command prompt for my windows mobile device (I keep it around as a hobby device) and I could not find a clear, concise, not to mention easy setup. So, I decided to create one of my own. I have assembled a modified version of the command prompt power toy, and a registry toggle script into one convenient installer. Instructions are included below:
Prerequisites:
Windows Mobile 2003, 5.0, 6.0, 6.1
MortScript - For the Toggle
Instructions:
After installation, delete the "setup.dll" files, you don't need them
Next, when activating the progeram, you must first select the "CMD Toggle" shortcut in the "Command Line" Folder
in your "Start Menu/Programs" subfolder - this will toggle the registry, and allow you to display the command line
Then, you may select the "Command Line" shortcut, and enjoy!
After exiting the Command Line, select the "CMD Toggle" shortcut once more to toggle the command line off, this will
prevent the command line from displaying at awkward moments, when commands are being issued to your device.
This setup has been tested/working on a Delll AXIM X51v, running a customized version of LennySH's WM6.1 ROM
with enhancements, and a SIP from VGAKeyboard.
2013 EDIT: I recently got back to this idea, and I have found a couple programs commonly used in the command line: Ping, and IPConfig. Just place the contents of the attached ZIP in the "WINDOWS" directory, and you will be able to invoke these through the command line.
Happy Hacking

First of all, thanks for your application. It works fine on a very old i-mate 9502 of mine. Nevertheless, please, if possible, turn the fonts much bigger, or, at least with their sizes selectable, because on a 2.8" screen it is virtually impossible for an old man to read anything.

I think you'll need to adjust your device's resolution manually... I have made no changes to the size of the displayed text.

The fonts shown in your app top bar are fine. The tiny fonts are shown on the open terminal window; command iputs echoes and outputs from the system are really small. No other cab files I installed so far produce such small texts. Thanks, anyway.

cmd.exe uses system font. If not content with its size / shape, then you have to change system's font settings.

This is Because of the web installer needs to Be already installed visual Studio 2010 or Higher version on Your PC.
Many of the guys dont have installed visual Studio or they dont want to install it.
So For Those Peoples here is Separate Stand Alone version of Windows Phone Power Tools.
1. Download attach zip and Extract.
2. Run WindowsPhonePowerTools.exe
3. Connect Your windows Phone...Make sure lock Screen is open.
4. Connect...
5. Now select your xap and deploy or update.
Enjoy!!!

I don't think that will work (correct me if I'm wrong). Windows Phone Power Tools use CoreCon API - COM classes that come with Windows Phone SDK. Furthermore, it also references SmartDevice DLLs, which also come only with Windows Phone SDK.
