I had built the system.img file in linux ubuntu OS for Android. I copied the system.img file in the widows SDK at /out/packagees/ target/generic directory. But when i am trying to start the emulator its not starting. And the logcat messages are not shown.
Is it possible to build the system.img in ubuntu and use it in windows.

I'm trying to root my damn Droid X (pardon my frustration; It's been a long, uncooperative day). First I tried the method found here: Multiple phones - Root them, unroot them - Droid Forum - Verizon Droid & the Motorola Droid Forum
I tried using Step 2 Option A, since I don't have Windows on any computer I own or have access to. I get to the following part before it doesn't work properly:

I wonder if someday the SDK will run fine on Linux 64 bits. I understand it's not a priority for Google team, but 64bits desktop OS are becoming common. My case : Mandriva 2010 64 bits, Eclipse 64 bits, SDK 1.6 : OK to create code & launch emulator. But : - adb never find my phone linked to USB cable (it was OK before on Mandriva 32 bits) - TTS also doesn't work well on the emulator (it was OK in Mandriva 32 bits). Do you think the problem is with Mandriva ? or in Android SDK ?

I've built the bare bones of my app so far in Eclipse using an adapted version of the LunarLander app provided by Android Developers. I've adjusted bits and pieces and have no errors at all though when I run it in the emulator it keeps saying "the application has stopped unexpectedly" and i have to Force Close.
Is it possible that my main.xml layout file is causing this issue? Mine looks like this:
CODE:..............
But their's looks like:
CODE:.............
Could this be responsible for the app being unable to launch? If I need to post my code I will but its over 900 lines so thought I would just see if this was possibly the problem first?
I have pretty much given up on trying to transfer files from my pc to my phone while running Linux.
I would guesstimate, 85% of the time, the transfered file gets corrupted. It happens on different phones and different Linux distros.
I would think the two would work well together since they both run on a Linux kernel.

I cant even count.. within last two weeks Ive moved to ubuntu instead of windows..I set up everything on my phone on ubuntu..sdk and everything...so Ive been building a rom for the fassy and i was testing something I made and something went wrong..so I now have no recovery..no way to get my phone back..Im up and running on the rom but it will not due ( no gaaps ) . So when i plug my phone into a windows pc it will not recognize it for ODIN...in device manager it labelled as " Linux file-cd gadget USB device" and cant install the driver to use ODIN.

is there some application or dev that can easily do an apk viewer, just looking inside the APK folder on the /res/drawable/ the apk icon shows, but how to make it shows at the apk compressed file.

i successfully got into adb in recovery mode fairly easily on my ubuntu 10.4 laptop using the following method- this should also work for a linux live boot from a usb flash drive
in one terminal tail and follow log messages
~$ tail -f /var/log/messages
In another terminal run the loop
Then
1. plugin usb and keep it plugged in
2. remove battery, eject sd card.
3. put battery in
4. press vol- and power
5. after around 6 seconds, your terminal with the log will show something like "new high speed USB..."
6. press vol- to select recovery
7. press the power button
8. IMPORTANT- as soon as you see a new log entry (something like "USB disconnect"), pop in the sd card
check your loop terminal for adb. if it doesn't work, repeat at step 2
i had one that was very seemless and felt much like windows xp sort of. but i factory defaulted my device the other day and now it gone and oddly i don't remember the name of it.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am developing a photoshop application for the G1 where you can apply different filters to your pictures stored in the pictures folder. So I use a gallery and a cursor to select the picture I want to manipulate, copy the picture to a bitmap so I can perform some filter operations and afterwards save the new bitmap as a new file to the phone. So I figured out that there are basically two options I have to save the image. One is to use the MediaStore.Images.Media.insertImage() method, which generally would work, but I don't want a thumbnail to be created. The second option, which I actually use, is to use an OutputStrem.
import android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media; import android.content.ContentValues; import java.io.OutputStream;
// Save the name and description of an image in a ContentValues map. ContentValues values = new ContentValues(3);
values.put(Media.DISPLAY_NAME, "road_trip_1");
values.put(Media.DESCRIPTION, "Day 1, trip to Los Angeles");
values.put(Media.MIME_TYPE, "image/jpeg");
// Add a new record without the bitmap, but with the values just set.
// insert() returns the URI of the new record. Uri uri = getContentResolver().insert(Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, values);
// Now get a handle to the file for that record, and save the data into it.
// Here, sourceBitmap is a Bitmap object representing the file to save to the database. try {
OutputStream outStream = getContentResolver().openOutputStream (uri);
sourceBitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 50, outStream);
outStream.close(); } catch (Exception e){

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have an application that I want to be able to use the userid: android:sharedUserId="android.uid.system", I need to sign the .apk file with the same certificate as the built in system applications, such as the 'Settings' application. I've located the keystore file in my build directory which is: cacerts.bks, and I have the password for this. What I seem to be missing in order to sign my .apk file is the alias fo the keystore. Does anyone know what the alias is? Or is there an easier way to do this that I'm missing.I know this not a standard thing to do, and is perhaps a hack, but I have a client requirement to meet.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to re-partition an SDCard on Android, with root access. What I'm trying to do is resize the 5.9GB partition into 3GB, and then make an EXT partition with the remaining space. I can think of two ways to do this, but I'm a bit stumped in doing either of them: 1) Cross-compile GNU parted, and run it on Android to modify the filesystem in place. This would be my preferred method, but I've been trying to statically compile parted using scratchbox and haven't had much luck, and I haven't been able to dynamically compile for Android in scratchbox either. 2) Directly modify the 512 byte MBR using some utility on my computer, and then dd the file on Android. I have a tool to view the MBR (mbrwiz), but I don't know how to edit it. Does anybody have any suggestions for either, or possibly a third route?
View 2 Replies View Relatedhow to know which type of file system does my android device using ?
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy objective is to create a text file in an android file system.
Using java language, I am creating an app. It has a screen with a table of 3columns. Each time a user enters the table row and click on Submit button, the row entry should be created as a separate comma-separated file on an android device. So each time when the table gets updated with new entry and clicks a submit button, a new file is getting created on the device file system. So I am looking for the file connectivity to the internal device memory where I could open the files and access it.
I have done the same in Nokia mobiles using J2ME. But for Android, I am not able to find the device file path.
I had format my phone's system through cwm.
now i want to restore it but it just stuck when i power on my phone.
First I found the problem, then I found this truly ancient post:
http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/threa...
...with no responses. To browse the file system from the top down I suppose I can simply hardcode the root as a single slash, but I would rather "do it right". Can anyone explain why listRoots returns a root named "/XX" where X is a junk char? It's problematic because that file cannot subsequently be queried for further file system exploration.
I am trying to copy an image to the emulator sd card by: $ adb push ~/Desktop/bullet_ball_ glass_red.png /sdcard /bullet_ball_glass_red.png But I get an error saying: failed to copy '/Users/n179911/Desktop /bullet_ ball_glass_red.png' to '/sdcard/bullet_ball_glass_ red.png': Read-only file system So I tried to go to adb shell to manual change the /sdcard to non read-only, but it still wont let me. $ adb shell # su # chmod 777 /sdcard Unable to chmod /sdcard: Read-only file system #.

So i created a google account in phone and added it in order to sync contacts....and after 2 hours, I thought that it has been synced...After upgrading device to ICS, and adding the previous account that i made before upgrading, I was waiting for contacts to restore, but nothing happend.. I opened the gmail account on PC and saw that there was no contacts. So the only way for me to restore the contacts is to find a way to restore them from Phone device. So,is there any software, either on phone or PC, to restore contacts from phone? or is there a way to have access to root folders and files of phone on PC to use a recovery program to restore "Contacts.db" file that was erased while flashing ICS?
