I have an compiled executable that is supposed to copy itself from the res folder, and into the /data/data/package-name/ folder, and change the permissions, and then execute. Every step completes all the way to the end. The output stream seems to be writing, etc. Except when I go check the file system, nothing has been done. I first tried with 'sh' then with 'su' (I have a rooted Cyanogen rom).
Here is the code:

I am trying to execute "ls -a" from java code, any idea how to do so.
View 6 Replies View Relatedi 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 know android is based on linux, does this mean it can run any and all linux applications? If so has anyone tried to run anything like wine? I also noticed that by default you cant run apps directly from sd card, but i saw a modification on a site that lets you change it so you can, so technically speaking is there any limit on the size of sd the G1 can handle?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHere's a little guide I put together for you to learn basic adb commands. I'm posting this thread assuming you already have your SDK set up. With that said, let's dive right in!
1. Turn on ADB
Go to Menu > Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging
2. Running ADB
Open up command prompt and type your way to the directory you have your SDK in.
Mine is in C:

I tried a web search, and searching the forums, but searching for special characters like that, doesn't seem to work very well. Even tried escaping them with various combinations of quotes and backslashes, but no joy.

View 1 Replies View RelatedOne of the great features of the the 4th soft button is to hold it down to bring up the voice search prompt. A this prompt there are several commands that are extremely helpful, such as: "Navigate to <place>" opens Google Navigation and gives you directions to <place> "Call <contact> work/home/etc" will call that contact. (Is there a way to set a default so that you can just say "Call <contact>" and it automatically calls that person's cell/home/work?) "Locate.../Map of.../Find..." will all open and search google maps.
"Driections to <place>" will open google maps and give you directions to <place> "Look up <place/thing/etc>" will do a google search
Now that we have Bluetooth Dialing working, does anyone know of printed instructions anywhere? With WinMo 6.1, you could simply say "Help", and it would tell you a list of commands. does 2.2 only allow for voice dialing and nothing more?

I'd like to create an Android application with a user interface where I can just tap a button and had it run an associated command. I'm assuming I would need to continue doing this via SSH so is there a SSH library for Android which I can use to connect to my desktop?

adb push recovery.img /sdcard

1. Commands like 'cat' 'mv' 'rm' are not working, why?
Chances are that these commands currently dont reside on your path, which is common when you start the phone in recovery mode. To remedy this, enter the following in your console

I need to execute following command in my app.
command: echo "1" > /sys/manager0/enable
I tried this with following code in my app.
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su");
DataOutputStream stdin = new DataOutputStream(p.getOutputStream());
String cmd = "echo "1" /sys/manager0/enable";
stdin.writeBytes(cmd+"
");
There is no error and app executed perfectly but there is no change in the /sys/manager0/enable
Basically I have been working on a Boot animation changer for the Nexus 7 and the program so far is coded in a C# form for windows.
I have coded everything fine up till now. I need to run a ADB command to push a file from my Program files x86 to the nexus 7 and write over the original Boot file.
But is there a simple and easy solution for writing this code? Or do I need to make a console application which does this process when started?
( I can push files manually via ADB, but the point is to make the tool " one click " If you get my drift.)
I want use adb commands to "integrate" the update into the system (google play, gmail etc...). I am not a root.

If You know how to make it work,
HTC Desire, Android 2.2, new Google Voice Search
Several commands - 'send text to', 'send mail to', 'note to self' and 'go to' - are missing. They are not parsed, and they do not appear in the Help list when voice search is launched.
Is this because I don't use the standard HTC message, mail and browser apps, by any chance? (But they are still on the phone, of course.)
I noticed that if I just speak a web search, it launches the HTC browser, whereas Dolphin is my dafault browser.
