ABD for MAC users PLEASE HELP

Hello everyone im a noob here but im slowley learning. i have searched and searched including the ABD for dummies they all make mention of ABD for mac but then move right along into windows how tos. im sorry if this is the wrong place for this post but can anyone point me to a place that actually explains ABD usage for mac i know nothing about terminal and i think thats what it want me to use. i really mean it ive been looking for a good mac tuterial for days!!!!!! thanks

You mean adb, right?
The commands for adb are pretty much the same ones used on windows

Not development...post in general.
Anyways,
do you have the sdk set up as per these instructions? You dont need to worry about the eclipse stuff. The most important thing is getting the sdk downloaded, extracted and the /tools dir added to your path. From there, the command are exactly the same. eg:
Code:
adb push
adb pull
adb shell
adb shell reboot recovery
...

to use ADB and FASTBOOT you need to mount your SDK foldert (you "need" tools folder) and then use all commands starting with ./
for example ./fastboot reboot
PS if you want to use fastboot, you have to download it separate from HTC site.

You dont have to mount the folder. It may be easier but in the long run adding it to path will teach you more. Just do a google search on edit path osx and you will find how to create or edit the bash_profile to add the tols folder to your path. from there you just open terminal and adb away

There is no need in this. Everyone can find all information on GOOGLE. It is easer then "Easy Button"
MAC+ANDROID=FRIENDS FOREVER!

Setting up ABD for OSX, Hackintosh, mac newbies like myself.
First make sure you have downloaded the latest SDK from google.
In finder go to your home folder and extract the sdk into a folder named Android.
If you only plan on using ADB you can just extract the tools folder contents there.
Now open up Terminal...Applications/system utilities
Type in the following
echo $shell
ls -a
If you see a file named .bash_profile in the list you are ok if not we have a few things to do.
To create a .bash_profile, in terminal do the following
touch .bash_profile
This will create a blank file if there is none. Then,
open -e .bash_profile
This will open it in TextEdit. Add the following line:
export PATH=${PATH}:*<your_sdk_dir>*/tools
Where <your_sdk_dir> is the full path to the android sdk folder (type
carefully, remove < > brackets).
For example, if the android folder is in the eclipse folder on your Desktop,
it would be:
export PATH=${PATH}:/Users/David/Desktop/eclipse/
android-sdk-mac_x86-1.0_r1/tools
Save and quit.
then all you have to do from there is adb away.
If you need more info please follow this link where I copied the info from.

[RELEASE] Metamorph - Theme Control File Upgrader

Stericson have a new Metamorph App.
It uses xml theme control files instead of the old thm files.
danation from the ModMyMoto forum has made a program, that updates the thm file to the new xml format.
It works very very well.
Please at all themers:
Use the Pro Version, use the new Metamorph with xml. Upgrade your Morphs with the xml files. Its not many work for you, but you can help us themers and users if you do this.

Thanks, danation, thanks stericson! Great work!

Today, stericson has changed the free version to the new format, too!
Please upgrade your themes, themers!
So there are no chaos to the community!

I love it! thanks bro

I have noticed the themes are not working now... people need to update the themes they created... please??

Contact your theme developer.
I'm in the process of upgrading mine to the new XML format right now.
If the theme developer is no longer around you will have to either obtain and use a copy of the old metamorph app or use the conversion tool to convert the .thm into a .xml file before use.

After using the tool I can say it works, but I can think of a few ideas to make it easier. First of all, is there any CLI support? The GUI is a bit annoying. Also, the ability to drag+drop a .thm file right on the window and have it output the .xml converted file in the same directory would be just awesome.
All in all, Great work. It saves me from manually creating new .xml files for all my old .thm files.

this is a great tool that makes it super easy to change .thm files to xml. If only all the idiots on the market giving metamorph bad reviews could read this. Not hard to do it yourself if the theme dev is not around...

I don't really know, why themers out there have used the free version and didn't donate stericson for his hard work!
We know since three weeks, that the thm file become changed to the xml file
And now there is the chaos, because there are a lot of guys, who didn't read instructions.

Perhaps worth noting in the original post that this is an app for Windows. I assumed it was an Android app.

Its a Java app wrapped in an exe container for windows.
The release .zip also contains the .jar file that can be run on any desktop OS.
Command:
java -jar ThemeControlFileUpgrader.jar

I don't have said anything about an app. And if you have java installed at your home computer, theres no problem.
Or where do you see a problem?
P.S.: I have now 618 downloads of the themefilepatcher and everything is fine.
I think, danation has done a real good job!

Drag and drop is a good idea. I haven't tried that with Java before. I'll see what I can do.

I think be means this.
If it accepted a file/path as an argument then you would not need drag-and-drop...just create a batch file that used %1 and you drag the .thm file on it.

Nice to see you here, danation.
Thank you very much for this great option and the support!!
You must write some posts to have the permission to attach some files. I don't know why, but at xda is it so I think.

Oh, I see now. I'm not really planning on adding command line functionality, unless a lot of people really want it a lot.
But drag and drop sounded good, so I added it to 1.2
Version 1.2 can be found at the "original thread" link at the beginning of the thread.
-1.2-
* Drag and drop feature added (I borrowed some public domain code found at sourceforge) Tested on Windows 7 and Ubuntu. Should work on Mac and Kubuntu as well.
* Option to disable dialogs

[Q] Rar on android.

Hi:
I've recently started to develop my own comic reader. The problem I've come up with is cbr files, which are esentially rar files. Now I know there are comic readers out there (all of them, I think) that support cbr files. So there is a way of doing this, I just can't find how.
In the rarlabs official page (search google rar addons and it's the first page) there are several options. I would like to know if I download the commandline arm unrar how I could install it on Android (I have a motorola Xoom, it would be for Honeycomb), assuming that is correct.
If this is not an option is there a command line unrar application that I could call from my own? and How would the code be (to call an external application, that is)?
If the above is not possible, what is the way to get to unrar something in android?
The only real option I've seen would be to use junrar (hosted on github)
But it seems complicated and I'm not sure it works very well as I've seen a lot of conflicting reports.
Thanks for any help!

Try http://www.all-freeware.com/results/rar/for/android to unpack rar on Android.
Success,
Senax

Hi:
I'm not exactly sure what you wanted me to try. There is nothing in that page that would allow me to uncompress a rar file on android. Only a bunch of unrar utitilities and some android things but they are not related, that is, there is nothing that says unrar that also works on android.
thanks anyway.

Unrar
great app available here: androidzoom (dot) com/android_applications/tools/unrar_dhpu.html
Cheers,
Romuloxiii

Hi:
It's seems that I didn't make myself clear.
I want to develop an android application that needs to unrar files. Is there a way to call the unrar application from my own code?
If so, can you tell me how?
Otherwise, I appreciate the effort, but I can't use that.
Thank you very much!

You can bring the unrar binary along in the /asset of your app,
on first launch copy it to your apps /file directory, chmod +x it, and use exec("sh") to unrar the files from shell.

oh, I see. I think I get the the idea but I don't understand all the instructions.
What did you mean by importing thebinary on my asset?
If I do the step above why do I need to copy the binary on first launch?
Don't I need root privileges too chmod it? And how do I do it from my source code?
And finally where can I find the command line use of the application? Or is it the same as the Linux version?
I know there are a lot of questions, but please keep in mind that I'm very new at doing this.
Thanks for all the help!

You need to put it as asset to bring it along.
You need to copy it because asset files are not directly accessable.
You don't need root to chmod the file in your own directory.
You do it by using a shell from your code i.e. Process.exec("sh")
And finally you want to program the app not me,
so don't be lazy and invest some time.
Google google google google...
If there are still questions left after that, you may ask again .

Ok, I'll try it and get back to you!
Thanks!

Sorry for my lazyness, but I've been Googling for a good half hour without finding a simple 'unrar' binary executable compiled to run from terminal on rooted ARMx32 device. I don't want bloated GUI APK's or libraries for development implementation, but just the plain command line interface executable. Anyone, please? It's a pity they haven't baked it into Busybox as an applet, IMO.

LG KDZ Crawler [UPDATE]

sorry for my english, i´m a kraut
some people will remember my snooper i published in the ICS/JB-Thread.
I wrote a php-script the crawls the lg-servers for firmware. short introducing for a long time work
you can test it in action at: LG-Firmwarescanner Beta
what my script can do for you:
- search for fw´s for your LG-model (LGP920, LGP880, LGP920H, LGP925, LGP970, LGSU760 for now)
- search for specific version (froyo, gb & ics, ics only)
- search for final and beta firmwares, custom-folder needed for beta (useless until no folders a know so far)
- search for VxxA-VxxN & VxxA-VxxP (VxxN is quicker)
- write every found file to a txt-file
- zip&mail the txt-files
- upload the txt-files to a ftp
- write the results to mysql
- list the results from mysql
- download the kdz when a V29x is found
a readme and an english-version will follow.
note: the script runs "for me" in my own home-server/xamp. if somebody finds the reason for non-working on hosted-server, pleas let me know.

NEW SERVER ! [EDIT: old server again, script killed the 3rd server in a row

I don't see why we need more than one person running this script.

Configuration
sorry for my english, I need an example configuration of your script on xampp, you can?

make sure the folder you put the files is has permissions 0777.
click the three boxes "deaktivieren" and click "Speichern"
here is an example-config, extract the two files and start index.php

thank you

when you scan for beta you need a custom folder, without folder no scan

No custom-folder for the 920 is known so far. bruteforce ist useless

I know this will be an exteme solution and would literally take days and not even sure if it will work, but can you make a script which automatically runs generated custom-folder to try and find a beta file, ie from aaaaaa to zzzzzz and 1-9, and it saves what it has already searched by any user . so it starts from aaaa and then moves aaab , but it saves that its already searched aaaa and so if someone else tries it starts from aaac, if that makes sense. Then as a community we can continue running the script
let me triy to explain with an example below
so the script starts at custom-folder
aaaa --then completes the set (28,29,30,31) then moves to
aaab --then completes the set moves to
aaac --then completes the set moves to
aaad---and lets say that user decides to close the script. but another user comes along and wants to run the script, instead of starting from
aaaa ---the script saves the folders which have been serached and its starts from
aaae

great idea, but already done
http://weiko.mygigahost.de/LG/brute.php
all custom-folders seems to be 10 caracters, capital letters mixed with numbers

well ive got it running lol, but does this look for the folder only, or the whole file like a kdz, because i think if its searching just the folder it will never be found, since it still shows a "connection" when you try to look for a folder that you can download a kdz from , i could be wrong,
ie: lets say when you try this link it'll download the file http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP920/AHASML/V20e_00/V20E_00.kdz
but when you try link below, it always shows not found
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP920/AHASML/
or is that how it works with the beta folder?

Try again: http://weiko.mygigahost.de/LG/brute.php
when my script tries to access an existing folder, answer is: HTTP/1.1 405 Method Not Allowed, because indexing is off
when it tries to access an unexisting folder: HTTP/1.1 404 Not found
my script dies, when it gets an 405-answer.
[edit]
the script writes every folder to database and take another folder when its found in database
but, i said it already, it´s useless.
26 possible letters + 10 possible numbers = 36
10 letters per folder = 36*36*36*36*36*36*36*36*36*36 =
3.656.158.440.062.976 combinations

oh right, and then we can then plug it into the "custom-folder" and search it there , that makes sense. So do you, as in you , actually see if there is a 405-answer, or is it recorded, if it ever finds one?? you know just in case someone does run the script and comes across a 405-answer, but doesnt know where to go from there

for now, it writes every 405-folder in database too, marked as 405 .

yeah it would be ridiculouslytime consuming, but theres no other way..yet
Are you able to put it onto a online server which continues the process, so its always running??
