Why linux doesn't take a new step to run all exe files (for small and big software)
?
We all knw that linux is best os but if it can run all windows apps , it leads the window nd bcom a alone king in os market.

Seems linux is not the best os if it cannot even open exe files
</sarcasm>
gr8 idea! we shall drop this pathetic posix thing and forget fhs to be able to run all kind of viruses, malwares, trojans, etc.

Linux running exe files would ultimately defeat the purpose of using the os in the first place. Linux is a secure operating system because it does not open those files. If every thing you need is an exe, use Windows...

Uh.... what in the world?
haha nice joke..one of the things that make Linux better OS than Windows is the fact that it doesn't open .exe files.

Lolz do you really think that Linux is secure because we can't run exe file there :laugh:?
It is just secure because linux has less users than windows and also it's users are smart enough to differentiate between virus and normal app.
Ok let's take a example of most used linux based mobile O.S, off-course that is Android , Now please tell me android don't have virus ??
I think there are lots of viruses for android and it just because there are lots of android users, offcourse more than IOS.
See here famous buffercode.in/stagefright-2-0-fixed-google-released-an-ota-for-nexus-devices/StageFright bug in Android , for which there are already lots of viruses.

I wrote best not excellent . It can't run exe doesn't mean that it is not best, even window can't run .sh, both have different architecture. There is always room for improvement even in best product. Best is always considered relatively . And yaa you can manage to run exe through wine in Linux wwithout any security flaw.

Ok XDA im fairly new to this but have a decent background with software and such. And i am looking for a bit of assistance on cooking/modding my own rom. and just wondering if you guys have any pointer? Thank you!
A few questions, mostly for others to help:
Do you have some sort of Linux distribution installed on your computer, such as Ubuntu? If you are, do you feel comfortable with terminal commands?
If not, do you run Windows or OS X? Would you be willing to install Ubuntu or something similar through alongside, or us Wubi if you would like to use it inside your current OS?
Are you planning on compiling AOSP, port from other phones, or base it on stock?
Are you going to be theming and/or optimizing?
Do you have a 32- or 64- bit-capable computer?
I'll post some links in a minute to what I use

I have a basic knowedge of commands. really basic. i run windows 7 on a 64 bit. and as for what i want to do? well im looking to learn it all. ive mostly been tinkering with sense roms. ive been using Team Nocturnals Shooter for E4G as my daily. good place to start?
Need Java JDK first: here
Definitely need ADB and Fastboot, great YouTube video by QBKing here
7-Zip and/or WinRAR. I have both, but I prefer 7-Zip. Get the 64-bit beta version here. WinRAR here too, get the 64-bit
UOT Kitchen for some theming here
Gimp, for theming
Notepad++ for editing text
Of course, a kitchen: Custom ROM Creator Studios here . Has many tools that you will need, including APK Tool and deodexing tools.
Great for Sense, "What You Know about Rosie?" And more by Tommy here
Chef Central for Android
so i followed the adb video to a t and it isnt workin?
Ive got a 4g upgraded 32gb Xoom. i saw that it is possible to run linux on the tablet but i had a few questions. i know i have to be rooted (i have a droid x that i rooted) but once i do that, is it still possible to run the android o.s. also? can i choose which to boot in? also how reliable is it on a tablet and is it worth it? Thanks!
You have vastly misunderstood the Linux on Android concept.
You download the Linux image to your tablet. While Android is running, you execute a script that then "boots" the Linux image. You can then access it via terminal or VNC. You aren't natively running Linux.

Hi,
Im also interested in linux on xoom, opensuse for example ...
i ve seen backtrack running on xoom but like it was mentioned b4 its only a image or accessed via VNC but whats the point running backtrack linux if network card is not supported....
Any way if you ve heard of any linux concept since just let us know
Surely it must be possible if the advent vega can handle it!

try Linux Installer from the google play store. its a very nice app and free, allows you to setup linux in a chrooted environment. i also have tried the paid ubuntu installer app but not as many options. there is a way to run it outside of android as well, but im not planning on ever doing this, not at least until ubuntu makes a touch tablet input feature
Hey guys I know I have posted some other similar programs, but hopefully this will raise the bar on how people use Android Debug Bridge.
So To start off, this program will not root any phone, but can easily break a phone if used improperly.
Secondly, If you need to ask what a button in the program THEN DO NOT USE IT!
I will only answer questions if they involve drivers or programming bugs, NOT for something like "What is Sync?" because If you do not know, then you do not need to know now.
SEE LINKS BELOW FOR MORE RECENT UPDATES!
This program has some built in ADB functions:
Rebooting- Recovery/Bootloader/Fastboot.
Sync from a folder (If you don't know or have to ask do not use!)
Use logcat
Start up a shell instance (With root if possible.)
Remount (Needs root also)
Flash(Recovery/Boot.img)
Root SOME devices(Using Bin4ry Script Credit to him)
Auto Download Root script
adb shell built in now
cmd shell built in
automatic updates
push files
install apks
get misc system information
Download ODIN for Samsung devices
Detect HTC device correctly for once lol
Application Manager
ADB Learning Center (Under Construction but not beta)
4.0-4.3 Backup Manager (Using adb backup NOT Nandroid)
0Nandroid intergration
Build.PROP veiwer (Soon to be editor too!)
Free device ram and kill background process
MORE TO COME!
___________________________________________________________________
Also a BIG thing for this program is the ability to install ADB and Fastboot into Windows as a command in Command Prompt.
This would allow one to use adb as a normal command from CMD.
E.G "C:\Users\Lab\>adb shell"
Instead of having to CD to C:\android\and all that.
Download the program: Version 5.0.2.26:New Download link[/COLOR]
As far as the newest huge feature in ADBGUI goes, the Application Manager is to be considered Pre-beta and should be used with extreme caution.
Requirements for the Application Manager:
> You need root
> It only works with 3rd Party (Downloaded from google play or other source)
> It does not work with all devices and has some major bugs.
Come on guys give some feed back!
Well enjoy!
Have questions or maybe want to report an issue?

About ClickOnce:
The core principle of ClickOnce is to ease the deployment of Windows applications. In addition, ClickOnce aims to solve three other problems with conventional deployment models: the difficulty in updating a deployed application, the impact of an application on the user's computer, and the need for administrator permissions to install applications.
ClickOnce-deployed applications are considered 'low impact', in that they are installed per-user, not per-machine. No administrator privileges are required to install one of these applications. Each ClickOnce application is isolated from the other. This means one ClickOnce application is not able to 'break' another. ClickOnce employs Code Access Security (CAS) to ensure that system functions cannot be called by a ClickOnce application from the web, ensuring the security of data and the client system in general.
Some other thinks about ClickOnce:
My ClickOnce application is personally signed, so windows will tell you the publisher is "Unknown" but that is OK. It will install just fine.
[UPDATE Nov. 21st 2013]
Hey guys!!
Just wanted to share some news for all you linux users!
I will be starting a linux conversion for ADBGUI to be fully compatible with Ubuntu/Debian/Arch Linux Distros!
Details: Click Here!
Looks great! Will try as quickly as possible.

Is this ADB GUI project open source?
I think this is a really cool idea. Might also help get more users into ADB and willing to learn what things do. (sometimes it's scary when thinking of command line)

Make sure you run as administrator and that all the files are extracted from the archive. Also make sure they are all in the same folder.
If you could post a screenshot that would be great help

Hi
I downloaded and installed Android Studio today . I installed JDK 7 befor that .
Android Studio runs , but when i click new project and compelet wizard , my computer attempts to download something from Internet and my connection speed is very low . How I can run Androd Studio without downloading exceesive materials from Internet ???
I don't know if you can use Android Studio without this download (I don't think so) but it's about 30-40 mb... Even if you have a bad connection, I think you can download it.
Did you do this?
Follow the setup wizard to install Android Studio.
Known issue: On some Windows systems, the launcher script does not find where Java is installed. If you encounter this problem, you need to set an environment variable indicating the correct location.
Select Start menu > Computer > System Properties > Advanced System Properties. Then open Advanced tab > Environment Variables and add a new system variable JAVA_HOME that points to your JDK folder, for example C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_21.

I think that it does. However, it might be compiled as Java 6 but you can use the JDK 7.

They say that they want to support both Eclipse and Android Studio. However, in my opinion Android Studio is already better than Eclipse.
And they said that they will focus on Android Studio in the next time to add all necessary features. :good:

So you have to wait until it is completed.
I tried to install an application for a raspberry pi on my nexus 7. I extracted it, but when I tried to run it, it failed with:
No such file or directory
Any solutions?
Sounds like it is meant to be run on the pi. Not the Nexus 7.

you can't just arbitrarily run any application. it needs to be an android app.

What he said, and usually the system says that when the file is not marked as an executable.
Even if the binary was designed to run on ARM-based processors, it needs to be compiled for that operating system.
For example you cannot take a console binary made for Mac OSX (identifier Mach-O), and run it on a FreeBSD system even though OSX was originally based on FreeBSD4 (much the same as how Android was originally based on linux variations, and is still technically linux, but technically not).
I mean unless someone wants to write some kind of binary compatibility setup, much like how I can run *some* linux binaries on FreeBSD using the Linux Binary Compatibility port. But out of the box, not going to happen unless it was written for Android.
PS: Easier Analogy... trying to run a windows EXE on Android.
So how do I install the proper libraries? My device has the stock rom and it is rooted.
You learn how to code and port it.

Wtf? You should read up on how applications work. Installing libraries is the least of your concerns. If the application had not been compiled to run on android it won't run. Period. Its not a difficult concept to comprehend.

Doesn't work that way, differnet binary code won't run on a system it's not compiled for, choice is to recode I yourself or hope someone has a battery sucking emulator for android.
