Android Dev LiveCD - Touch CDMA Android Development

I'm sure all the devs have seen this, but for anyone who wants to tinker, you might look at this site:
http://www.vafeo.org/vafeo/vafeo-1.01-1/vd_android-1
LiveCD / LiveUSB debian distro with android sdk and eclipse. I haven't tried it out yet 'cuz the download hasn't finished. But it looks pretty cool.
Oh, and the download link on that page has a typo, extra 'h' on http://, so copy-paste and fix it.

Very nice find.
Everything already configured too
I currently use VMWare Player (free) and ubuntu and manually set everything up. Took longer then it should.

Great find! get to playing around guys

wow thanks!! i might try that if my ubuntu laptop blows up or something

For Windows users give MotoDev studio for Android a try.
It's a nicely packaged install for a complete Android development environment: Eclipse, Android SDKs, DDMS plugin for Eclipse along with some custom Eclipse perspectives and code snippits. It even handles the APK signing and distribution uploading to the Market. 0 configuration and 100% Free too.
The only thing left to download would be DroidDraw but this isn't even required as Eclipse has support for GUI development (just not as intuitive).

Creating Applications...

Just thought I'd double check this before I buy, but it is possible to write applications for this phone using java? Soz if its a stupid question but thats kinda what am needing lol.
No, it's not.
However it should be possible to use the android SDK which sadly kinda looks like Java.
http://developer.android.com/sdk/1.5_r3/index.html
Thanks for the reply. Thats a bit guttin, I thought that android supported java (or a mobile version of java). To be honest I'm just really lazy and dont want to learn a new language lol.
Do you know if android does support java and its just this phone that doesnt? Or is this the case with all android phones?

What? It's probably not a good idea to go around spouting misinformation like this. "Irregular Programming" indeed.
Perhaps you may like to read through: http://developer.android.com/guide/basics/what-is-android.html#applications
To ExO_PoLiTiX: you won't need to learn a new language, you'll just need to be aware of how the Dalvik (basically the java virtual machine Android runs) system works, and what you do/don't have access to.
My advice would be to read the page I linked above and then go down through all the pages in the side menu. There are also a whole bunch of example projects available for download from that site, all of which can be imported directly into eclipse, provided you've installed the SDK and ADT plugin.
If you already know java you'll find Android development will be a breeze.

you dont know how good that is to hear! lol I will have a look through the pages you suggested. Thanks for that. I plan on writing a game which uses the network features of the phone alot. My only experience of creating games is through java so thats why I wanted to use android =-)
Thanks again

You can actually import the main java (e.g. javamail) classes into your projects so android runs almost all of Java.

mobile view on webtop

ok as you are aware motorola have a closed source app called mobile view,
My aim is to reverse engineer it to see if we can port it to other distros i.e like gentop / debian.
PROGRESS:
i have already somewhat worked out and have (with errors) a fully working debian wheezy running with some of the webtop apps working and a few errors, I.e sound not working
i have so far got the fact of the program is called aiw it is launched via aiw -d on boot of webtop, In the start-webtop-1.sh script .
i've located all the files it uses to run i can also see the fact it is wrote in c (c assembly to be precise) .
TO DO:
I should have some what of a base code of it by the end of next week. I've learnt alot about the webtop in the last month and i am continuing to learn it till i know it inside and out.
Also i will be started a git repo later for some of my other work
I.e the full debian wheezzy with gnome and gnome panel working on boot
i don't know how to make it into an easy install so help would be nice on that
If any of you wish to help with this then please let me know its not for the faint hearted also mods if you have a problem with this then please let me know / remove the post.
MOD EDIT:
This dude is looking for folks to help him reverse engineer mobile view, a closed source application on the Atrix, for porting it to gentoo or debian. Hopefully he will edit his thread and use some commas or bullets!
MY EDIT:
I Have re-edited it with commas and full stops and capital letters i'm sorry if some of you were unable to read / understand this
MOD EDIT:
I added some badly needed formatting Good luck!
First step is find a keyboard with punctuation symbols on it so you can communicate with the rest of the development community. After that all things are possible.
sorry i do personally suck at grammer
Trying to read this made me mad. :/
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Op has serious development intent. Let's try to keep it on topic now that things have been edited.
there we go edited
I'd very much love to see this happen for a couple reasons
1. I imagine this could be used with a linux based PC to run AIW?
2. We could **** all dependency holding like we do in the current ubuntu setups and have a no-break upgradable linux OS.
Little side bit, though might provide incite as to why some apps have issues
Been looking into VNC server on web-top on my How Too in the general section and as I was working on it I noticed that the ported moto applications such as firfox aiw awn and a few others only function only in the adas hdmi environment such as DISPLAY=:0 as set up by a few scripts in /etc/init.d I was wondering as you mess with your development on this if you manage to find out how to set X to share for Xvnc to utilize or can point me in the right set of files to look at I would appreciate it.

aiw and firefox will run in any enviroment there is some security policy's that were set by motorola that only allow certain process to run / access certain files and would autokill things that it it didnt think should be running and shouldnt be running by a certain user ie adas is the only user allowed to start awn and firefox if you try starting it from root it will kill it straight away i will find out the commnds i used to disable this amd post it up later i,m currently out and about atm and not near my computer

Remote Apps on TP

Hi All,
I wanted to share with you something that I think could develop into something quite useful (and cool ). I have successfully managed to launch remote applications from my Linux server onto my TP (similar to Citrix). For those that might be somewhat skeptical I've attached a screenshot below. And yes, your eyes do not deceive you – it most certainly is Word 2007 running! But before everyone starts jumping up and down with excitement, it's not an TP application that I've developed – more proof of concept.
If people are interested in trying this out themselves please let me know and I'll put up some instructions. Just a wording of warning though, this is a little fiddly and requires the user to use CLI via Executah and also a Linux PC (not sure how to achieve this with a Windows PC).
Also, if there are any Xterm/XServer/WebOS Developer experts for the TP here that can help me, please come forward as I would like to push this to be more GUI based so I could really use some help.
Thank you.
How does this compare to splashtop remote?
Wow very neat!
Don't run Linux so not for me but i'd find this useful if someone knew a way to do this via windows?

it's not as advance as splashtop. It's merely just a remote application running on a linux server. The example I posted was of word running via wine on my ubuntu server. However, I've managed to get rdesktop installed on the touchpad which means there is a possibility of running a windows application. I will try this out and see if it works.
I will report back as soon as I have some info. I post a screenshot of a windows app running, asumming I can get one to run.

[Guide] Ubuntu chroot on rooted TPT

Hey ThinkPadders,
So I found myself needing to do some programming on the road this weekend but dont have access to a laptop. So I'm plugging in a bunch of peripherals to my TPT and hoping to work off it. (UPDATE: It worked great! Just ran out of space in my pre-allocated image, see update #2 below) Forgive me if the outcome is a bit rough or this exists elsewhere, I'm in a bit of a rush but thought I'd throw this quickly out to anyone who may find it usefull (or is nice enough to complete it).
There's just a small modification from the Ubuntu on android instructions on AndroLinux. Sorry I cant post links as a crappy member X_x, but I think you know what to do with this:
www.androlinux.com/android-ubuntu-development/how-to-install-ubuntu-on-android/
Change the mount calls in each of the scripts from:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
to:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /system
That's about it. I've installed build essentials just with apt-get and got simple STL c++ to compile, so things seem good so far.
Here are pics of the TPT running vnc and ssh to localhost. I attached modified scripts if you dont want to do it yourself. All credit should go to Max Lee at AndroLinux and Charan Singh.
(And a hurrah for getting our kernel source!!)
UPDATE #1 (2-27-2012):
Terminal/ssh usages are great, but experiences with the stock ubuntu GUI are a little slow (probably due to the lack of tegra drivers on tested distributions). You can improve this GREATLY by using a lighter weight windows manager (lxde, xfce, unity 2d, etc).
UPDATE #2 (2-28-2012):
Also, you can skip using an image entirely. Since then I've partitioned a 32GB sdcard into 10GB fat32 + 22GB ext2 partitions and just directly copied a preinstalled/debootstrap'ed ubuntu and mounted it. This way you don't have to pre-allocate space with an image and can use both partitions for general storage (the fat32 is just for windows specific access). You could probably use space on the internal sdcard if you like. But I have a 16GB model so I went straight for an external solution.
I can extend this guide or create a one-click windows script to handle the entire setup/installation if there's interest.
This is really cool, thanks for sharing this info with the rest of us.
Thanks! I run Ubuntu on all my computers, now I can run it on my TPT!
Cool stuff anapmac.
I too have an ubuntu chroot on my thinkpad (actually just copied the loop file from my droid x and didn't even have to change any settings)
Just a tip: I highly recommend swapping out the default window manager for lxde.
lxde is much more lightwight and will run a lot faster.
Also, you may want to try pointing apt at the debian repositories, debian seems to have more complete ARM repositories than ubuntu does.
How about libre office. Could it run in an usable speed on ubuntu on android, or would it do it if ubuntu only could get installed?
Hey,
could anyone help me...i managed to do all and it finally worked.
but i don't think it is quite useable, so what d0 I have to do to make all steps undone?
thanks for your help.

thanks for posting the changes required to get this working. I got it working with the ubuntu.img from the guide at androlinux.com
I've used the instructions there also to build an image of from ubuntu 11.10. I simply replaced the ubuntu.img with my own and all is working ok. I'm currently installing unity to see how slow it will be. or if it works at all.

Thanks for the tip. I did find loading firefox somewhat slow when I took the screenshots. This past weekend though I was only accessing the distribution through a terminal emulator (just ran the bootubuntu script to setup the chroot). After working with it, I'm very satisfied with this setup I'm planning to buy an external SD to use host a large ubuntu image (or anything else that's ARM compatible?). Maybe I'll look into the GUI if I get a chance.
There's also a native ubuntu setup on some android devices. That would be interesting to see how well the GUI performs when android isn't running next to it. Luckily for me, the terminal is perfect since I use vim

Hey danjac,
when you exit out of the shell that bootubuntu launches, it unmounts the required loopback and folders for you. The setup script, ubuntu.sh, simply copies a few files into known locations (deleting any existing files from previous runs). These files are:
/system/bin/fsrw
/system/bin/bootubuntu
/system/bin/unionfs
/system/bin/mountonly
You can just delete these by hand. Otherwise, I've attached a shortened version of the setup script (now only contains the clean-up and not the file copies) that does just this. Besides those files you just need to delete your ubuntu image file. Also, I dont believe the mounts (calls to losetup and mount) persist through reboots. Someone please correct me on that if I'm wrong. But if true, you wont have anything ubuntu related running if you've done a simple reboot lately. It is probably best to reboot before running this script. FYI, the script is run from the TPT's terminal (either using a terminal app or adb).

Cool. Let me know how it goes. I'm curious how well we can get an ubuntu GUI to run under chroot. I really like the integration it gives. Though we're probably running on software rendering no matter what UI we use. Nvidia released linux tegra drivers for hardware acceleration:

(curse you linking!!! still too forum newb for this)
hopefully I (or anyone ) can get time to mess around with this.

Hey Anapmac,
thank you very much for the information/script.
You are right, it does not survive a reboot.
Once again, thanks for your help.
I'm going to give this a go, looks really cool.
Canonical have just announced Ubuntu for Android which looks pretty amazing.
Oh, yes.
http://www.pcworld.com/businesscent...tu_android_addon_designed_to_replace_pcs.html
Cant wait until having really time to try it......
Yea, my dreams are coming true! I hope they're not picky about using the dock though. I'd still rather just open up a local terminal and work from there (for those of you who keep line widths in code, the character width can perfectly be 80 in portrait mode using android terminal emulator ). Should work anyway though, seems like a chroot solution with dock integration. Either way, that makes for an AWESOME thin client to access any workstations. Add that to having a mobile data plan, who needs to be in the office! Love being able to fiddle with these devices so much.
I wasn't able to get unity to work, I'm really not that strong in linux though. Based on things I've read around other linux forums, it's not likely to get it to work, but luckily canonical is taking care of that for us.
I tried gnome-classic and it worked ok, I wouldn't call it unusable, tried ubuntu-2d and 3d and they just don't work, finally settled with xfce after installing xubuntu-desktop via apt-get and then messing with the xstartup in /root/.vnc to start xfce with vnc.
vncserver -geometry 1280x752 fits perfectly in the screen space available without hiding the honeycomb status bar.
Although android vnc works quite well for free. I grabbed Jump Desktop back when it was on sale, and the mouse integration feels more like a native install.
I've been using Terminal Emulator in android to edit files and things with my folio keyboard, but there are a few annoying things with that. the vol-dwn button as Ctrl only works with onscreen keyboards, so I have to take the thinkpad out of the folio keyboard for certain keystrokes in apps like vi and nano. Funny enough the enter key on my onscreen keyboards, isn't accepted when saving a file with nano. I have to return to the folio keyboard to hit enter... wierd.

Thanks for checking on that baser.
I've been plugging in a full keyboard whenever I wanted to code, so I'm not sure what issues come from using the folio. I did experience some funky keyboard (hardware) mappings when I was using the GUI though. I'd have to do some remappings of the keyboard keys to get it 100% working, I figure we could probably do the same for the folio. For instance, my caps lock key is normally mapped to ctrl. If the folio has one it may be a good solution (I've never really seen one and I'm assuming it doesnt have a ctrl or alt from your experiences).
As for the GUI responsiveness, I tried using a ubuntu image which was compiled with the nvidia tegra drivers (see Linux for Tegra for details, but dont try their test image). It FELT more responsive to me, but I didnt get a chance to run solid benchmarks on my different distributions though. My experience using the ubuntu GUI on the TPT is pretty slim, so I could be completely wrong on that visible speedup.
I got a hold of a nice big 32GB sd card over the weekend, so I plan to put a large ubuntu/debian distribution on it this weekend. I'll try to get some updates on the keyboard issues and tegra drivers around then.
Check it out, there are tegra drivers in the next ubuntu arm release
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/armel/nvidia-tegra
It's to be released in april. I'm sure this has to do with canonical's android announcement. Sweet! I'm curious, so I may look into setting up a 12.04 distro this weekend to see if there's a noticeable speed up.
So, I definitely understand the desktop usage awesomeness. But I'm still not sure what android (mobile) gains from getting an ubuntu GUI. It seems all the added benefit comes from the command line tools, where android apps can cover any graphical needs. Thoughts?
One-click?

Since the ubuntu touch preview came out yesterday, I thought I'll give this thread a bump. What do you guys think about it? Can we port this to our good old TPT? I just stumbled over the Porting howto: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Porting
I mean, thanks to Koshu, we have CM10 running, so porting should work? But I have to admit that I don't have a lot of experience with this kind of stuff

Ubuntu for Vivid

Saw a thread a while back asking about the super-cool Ubuntu for Android on the Vivid. Unfortunately, we'll probably never see this for the Vivid, but we do have a comparable alternative...
Using the images from the Linux on Android Project we can run a virtual instance of Ubuntu and VNC into it.
This will probably work on any ROM, so long as you're rooted with busybox.
Before we start, install android-vnc-viewer and Android Terminal Emulator. Other VNC / Terminal apps will probably work, but the following instructions will be for these apps, specifically.
Okay, now...
Make an "ubuntu" directory on your SD card (internal/external, doesn't matter. You'll need at least 3 gigs of space though). For the purpose of these instructions, I'll refer to it as /sdcard/ubuntu.
Grab this script and unzip it as /sdcard/ubuntu/ubuntu.sh
Then download either (or both, whatever) the full-sized, Gnome-based image, or the smaller, LXDE image. Unzip as /sdcard/ubuntu/ubuntu.img
Open up Terminal Emulator, type "su" and hit enter. A superuser prompt will pop up (or that SuperSU thing, whatever you use). Accept/Agree/Whatever to allow root.
Now you're at a root shell. Go to your ubuntu directory by typing "cd /sdcard/ubuntu" (/sdcard/ext_sd/ubuntu for external card) and pressing enter.
Type "sh ubuntu.sh" and hit enter. This will start the launch script.
When it asks for a screen resolution, type "960x540" (the resolution of the Vivid).
A bunch of stuff will fill the terminal. When you see "[email protected]:/#", celebrate! You have Ubuntu running!
Now, unless you want CLI only... hit your home button (leave terminal running in the background) and launch android-vnc-viewer.
Enter whatever for the nickname, and the following settings:
Password: ubuntu
Address: localhost
Port: 5900
Color Format: 24-bit color (4 bpp)​
Now click "Connect" in the top-left corner. Hopefully you'll see Ubuntu! Now add a bluetooth keyboard/mouse and an MHL, and proceed to rubbing it in your Apple-fanboy-friends faces.
When you're done, head back into Android Terminal Emulator and type "exit".
NOTES:
I don't take credit for any of this. This is 100% Zachary Powell et al @ the Linux on Android Project.
I really don't see how anyone could screw a phone up with this, but standard disclaimer applies. I'm not responsible for anything, anywhere, ever.
This post is kind of long, but this is really super easy. Good luck!
The problem is this need this loop support in the kernel and none of the kernel people in this thread responded to my request for it.
Kernel stuff was not my cup of tea so never could get this running
Works perfect on Virtuous, which uses the Faux kernel. I don't know of any kernels that DON'T support loopback, which is why I said it should work on just about any ROM. Haven't tested on any others though.
Did this aeons ago. It works flawlessly, but the GUI is mad slow. Works fine for command-line business, though.
Cool story. It's been out for less than six months, but I guess that could be aeons. This is for people who haven't seen it.
Also, the GUI is extremely fast. With an MHL it's totally usable as a full computer. Did you try with LXDE?

I just realized that we are not talking about the exact same thing.
This has existed for aeons (Feb 1 2011). Same theory and application, but based on Karmic 9.10 and very slow indeed.
Hmm, might have to give this one a try.
Yea, ran that on my old X10. Bad hardware + bad implementation. This is 10.10, and they have a working beta for 12.10.
The LOA project really got it right. Especially running LXDE. Gnome is obviously slower.
IMO it's a good replacement for the official Ubuntu project.
It would be nice to install a custom arch linux or a debian netinstall with only the necessary things to work, fluxbox, xfce, lxde or some lightwheight desktop manager and see what happens. With the micro usb 2 hdmi cable and attached to a big screen it would be a real killer.
With some time I can prepare a custom debian or arch linux image to our devices.

The micro usb to hdmi is an MHL adapter. And yes, it makes it awesome.
LOA has a working debian image (http://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxonandroid/files/Debian/Image/) and are working on Arch.
A bare bones Arch installation with LXDE would be amazing, but alas, I have no spare time for side-projects anymore =(. I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one very appreciative if you could put it together.
I'm personally thinking about doing a portable HDD installation of a completely barebones Ubuntu from CLI, and just dropping pure XFCE on it. I think I've just found my testing platform.
I just made the switch from Mint Debian Edition to Arch. I love it, but I just can't get used to XFCE. Gnome 3 is just too awesome.
However, if I had Arch with LXDE / XFCE on the Vivid, I would probably replace a few computers with Monitor+Keyboard+Mouse+MHL terminals.

I like Gnome 2 and 3. LXDE has a few issues with the way it runs hardware (primarily its ability to manage laptop touchpads) as tested on Lubuntu 11.10, and that's when I made the switch to using XFCE instead. I'm not really a fan of Unity.
Anybody know why I get this error when running the scripy?
No, that's strange. Have you tried with the Terminal Emulator from OP?
And I know it shouldn't matter, but try cd'ing into /sdcard/ubuntu and then trying to execute the sh.

Same result. 'qt' isn't even in the script so I don't know what's up. I can run other other scripts np.
