Problems rooting flipout "Application Not Installed"

Hi all,
I recently got my new flipout and I'm trying to root it.
I copied the UniversalAndRoot to my SD card and tried to launch it with Astro file manager. After the warnings the application manager issues I get an "Application Not Installed" message, how can I workaround this ?
Thanks

The best way to do it is to use the Android SDK to push the apk to the device.
Connect your device to your computer, enable USB debugging (in settings->Applications->Developer) and in your terminal, type
Code:
adb -d install "path to universal androot apk"
Of course, you'll need a functional environment for Android 2.1, http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

Thanks for the response, I was able to root the device using z4root.
Another question though - I've replaced the fonts to the DejaVu one, which helped showing hebrew characters but in hebrew text (left-to-right) the numbers in the text appear in the reverse direction. Anyone have the same issue or know how to solve is deeply greeted.
Thanks,
Ohad

[Q] Eclipse - Can't connect my device with Eclipse

Sorry If it will be a very "easy" question, but I'm only a beginner, so, please be patient
I made a small application, and I tried to put in ads with AdMob. I tried to connect my device to the Eclipse, so I can run on it the progrmam, and see the logcat, because when I'm installed it to my device it doesn't show any ads. I tried to plug in it, but Eclipse doesn't show my device on the device chooser panel. I checked the USB debugging on my phone. What can I do? Thanks for help!

Do you have the Android SDK installed and properly set up in Eclipse?

Did you do any updates on Eclipse or the sdk recently? Did you move the sdk? You can always bypass Eclipse and try identifying your device using adb to see if there is a problem on that end
From something awesome

If you use Windows you have to install the phone's drivers. On linux follow this tutorial on installing a device for development: Using Hardware Devices

[beginner] A few questions about n00b Android DEV.

I just watched Adam Outler hello world tutorial and managed to setup Eclipse. I use Ubuntu 12.04.
A few questions sprung, though:
1. I installed Juno , hope this is not a problem. I think the video uses 3.8
2. Java was not installed on my PC, but I obviously had to. I used Java 7( not open JDK). OK?
3. A few things were a bit different than in the video - had no option for android project, so I had to select android application project, is this ok.
4. I first tried to run the app on my not rooted HTC One X, but eclipse seems to object. The name of the device was all question marks. What might be the problem? I run it successfully on my DHD( rooted, CNM 7.2 )
Please, help a the willing to learn

Hey deckoff, I'm new to Android Dev as well and I have setup the environment on a few machines.
Q: I installed Juno , hope this is not a problem. I think the video uses 3.8
A: Not sure, I'm using Windows with eclipse 3.6.2 I have installed it Ubuntu, but it was 3.7.2
Q: Java was not installed on my PC, but I obviously had to. I used Java 7( not open JDK). OK?
A: I pretty sure it requires the JDK not just the runtime.
Q: A few things were a bit different than in the video - had no option for android project, so I had to select android application project, is this ok.
A: Yes, It was renamed to Android Application Project
Q: I first tried to run the app on my not rooted HTC One X, but eclipse seems to object. The name of the device was all question marks. What might be the problem? I run it successfully on my DHD( rooted, CNM 7.2 )
A: Since your doing this on Ubuntu, your not suppose to have to install any special Drivers. Do you have "USB Debugging" Checked? I also have the option to allow "Unknown sources" - Allow installation of non-Market apps, checked.

Yes, it is - the very same settings on Desire HD and the apps works just fine, but on HTC one X does not. The name is not properly seen by the PC - it is just "???????"

Does adb recognize the one x? Try with adb devices if that doesn't work, just set up permissions for the device

Here is the log that I got when trying to connect :
Code:
[2012-08-05 23:24:33 - xdatv] ------------------------------
[2012-08-05 23:24:33 - xdatv] Android Launch!
[2012-08-05 23:24:33 - xdatv] adb is running normally.

[2012-08-05 23:24:33 - xdatv] Automatic Target Mode: Unable to detect device compatibility. Please select a target device.
This is straight out of Eclipse....
When I try to connect, I get a dialog, screenshot attached.
As I said, we are talking about unrooted, stock HTC one X, dev options enabled, sideloading enabled
I have not tried what you suggest yet, because:
1. I am not quite sure what does it exactly mean and how to do that ( I will read and probably find out, so thank you)
2. My laptop failed, so I had to go back to my 8 year old Thinkpad x40, and setup and redo everything again...
(SHAME ON YOU, LENOVO, 2 months old x220, which costs a fortune, powers on "sometimes", and recognizes it's HDD "sometimes"..)

I managed run the app on the One X as well, following this link:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1890861
In general I had to stop adb and re-start it...
Anyway, two things still puzzle me:
1. Why rooted CNM Desire HD will not present any problems, and apparently will not require root adb, while One X will
2. Still, Eclipse will fire error messages, namely "Cannot monitor device"
3. Can I run adb in a mode so it will not require me to re-start adb in sudo ( So I dont have to stop and start sudo adb every time I re-start)

drivers

dear devs, I posted in the general forum, instead this should be the right place
Android Studio does not recognize my phone, so I am wondering how did you do to develop and test apps!
I checked everything, developer options, check USB debugging, gradle.build etc, the phone is not recognized on windows because lack the original drivers that AFAIK are not available. Also from a previous post are recommended some tools, I downloaded, but i am afraid to run this exe.
I have even tried to install from AS the SDK Extras Google USB drivers, but the telephone is not recognized.
I guess you find a workaround to make possible developing apps.
please could you share something about that?

under Linux is recognized, lubuntu 16.4 default kernel. On Windows still not

Really? Because my linux doesn't recognize it. I tried in download mode and with the phone running, and I have debugging mode enabled. It appears nothing if I execute "adb devices", just a blank list.
My kernel version is 4.4.50. Maybe updating it to 4.9 would fix the problem? I searched for kernel verdion of ubuntu 16.04 (because trocchietto mentioned it as a working platform" and has the same kernel.
What I have to do?

Need help to root Android Head Unit

Hello everyone,
I have an unbranded Android Head Unit on my SUV. I tried to install some useful apps from apks but it didn't allowed me to install them while giving an error message "Installation is disabled". I could not see developer options, google play or unknown sources in settings menu, probably all disabled.
How can I root my Android Head Unit to install apps?
P.S.: It has a wifi, bluetooth connection, sd card and usb port. Android version is 4.4.2.
Thank you.
