[Q] Tesla- Ubuntu Media Remote - Android Apps and Games

I recently discovered this app at ubuntu forums, and was really hoping to use it on my computer, but it seems it's functionality broke in the 10.10 update to ubuntu.
also looking at the times and nature of the thread, I'm thinking that the original developer may have had other things come up and is no longer working on it. It is open sourced and was wondering if anyone else would consider picking it up for development, it seems it could be a really useful app!
Here's the source page
http://sourceforge.net/projects/android-tesla/
the thread i found it at on ubuntuforums is here
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1248917

+1 loved this app, was great, upgrade to 10.10 broke it. Does anyone know why? Do the commands change?

[Q] Has anyone tried Android x86 for a desktop pc?

I was wondering if anyone has tried the x86 android 1.6 port on their pc. Also, can we expect to see further development for this? Like custom ROMs, themes, and an online market of some sort? It seems awesome.
I don't know anything about but I'd like to hear about this too...
I've been able to get the froyo version to boot through Virtual PC just fine. The only problem I was having is the lag from manipulating the screens with my mouse or even anything that may require hardware acceleration. Its a great step in the right direction.. but at this time its only something to play with.

I tested it a couple of times, but it's ment for subnetbooks, not PC.
But if I'd find people interested to create a PC-Distro, I'm there...
I didn't even know they made one! o: Could someone link me towards the right information
There's some YouTube videos and stuff on it, it's pretty neat!

[APP] DroidExplorer comments wanted

Hi folks,
I'm one of the developers for DroidExplorer, an open source app to manage your Android devices from Windows (and Linux and Mac coming soon). Currently we're working to bring out a 1.0 release and as part of that I'm looking at revising some of the UI and functionality.
What I'd like to hear are some comments and suggestions towards making it an app people would find useful. Feel free to suggest any features you'd like to see and we'll put it on the wishlist. Also if you have tried it and had any issues, we'll check it out. This is less formal than the bug tracker on Codeplex, although you're welcome to weigh in there as well - just trying to get an idea of what people would like to see as far as managing Android devices from their desktop.

bump. nobody interested in integrating their device into the desktop?
I tried this program some time ago, but discontinued because I had trouble getting it to work with my Evo.
If you're resuming development I'd be very interested. I'll give it a go in the next few days.

Hey, thanks for the feedback. I'd be interested in finding out the issue you might have had. Was your driver working ok? Rooted? USB Debugging on?
It would be good if you could somehow add a feature that scans your androids apps and then checks for updates of them kind of what cyder2 is for iphone. It's important to know that not everyone has wifi and an unlimited data plan. Awesome app by the way.

As I recall (it was some time ago) the problem was not that the device would not connect. The problem was that after connecting the program would not allow me to make any changes at all.
My Evo is/was rooted and USB debugging is/was On. Driver seemed to be working because the program would show me the contents of my device.
I haven't had a chance to try recently as I have been working out of town lately. Hopefully I can try it over the weekend.
I'll let you know.

I have been using Droid Explorer since i found out about it a few weeks ago. I was mainly using it for screen casting and input on my phone from my actual computer. After experimenting with the file explorer i found out that i could do live side loads with out the need to unmount and remount the SD cards. This is a very good time saver because i transfer ROMs and other files to my phone and want to get almost instant access to them, this provides a way to bypass the irritation of the remount and time consuming media scan.

Ubuntu 11.04 advice [found related]

EDIT: Nevermind, while in the process of editing this post to narrow its scope I found a related post to watch. Thanks to readers. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1062348
Anyone here using Oneiric with their sensation have any advice for better compatibility?
I just recently upgraded from a W755 and have been running into a few troubles. A couple things I'm wondering:
USB tethering. I see options for both making the internet available to my phone from my computer and from my phone to my computer... I can't seem to tell if either are working. Anyone able to get these working (in linux/ubuntu w/unity)? (Haven't tried wifi hotspot but am guessing it works fine).
Management programs: Is there anything which allows easy management of phone information from a linux os? I had to work for 5 days to clean up all my contacts between duplicates, missed links and other problems. Would have been much nicer to do with some form of management interface on my laptop.
Other: In general could anyone offer up any advice for either a new smartphone user running linux as their only OS or things to watch out for? I'm already eager to see what cleaning up of the bloatware I can do when the thing gets unlocked (The fact that I can't uninstall a crappy bundled FPS is stupid).
Thanks in advance,
Garrett

[Q] App to write Android Apps

I want to get into writing android apps but do not have a PC, only a Transfomer original TF101.
Are there any coding apps out there that I can use instead of the SDK / emulators that you use on PC?
I dont mean an app to create/write the code for me, simply an app that allows me to create all the files and write the code needed myself but on the TF instead of on the PC.
Many thanks!!!
Yes............
You could try JavaIDEdroid: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.t_arn.JavaIDEdroid
I do development work on a laptop, and I hate it. Fed up scrolling and tabbing about just to look at a line of code. I recommend a desktop with a decent widescreen. Or maybe hook up that hdmi cable....
This like many questions has been asked so many times that I stop answering so much.

Believe me I tried searching (alot!!) both on XDA and google and really struggled to find them. I guess the search terms are very general so it was hard to hone in.
I'll try that app suggested above, do you guys (or anyone else) have any other suggestions to look at, or can point me to a thread on XDA which has this kind of info in it?

I've never seen any threads on this topic, but would love to find out more.
Care to point us in the right direction?
Tapatalk sucks for searching, be it my posts or the forums in general. Most stuff I have is in Simplenote or my blog, and probably all but setup notes posted on XDA.
The general case: either you use something that doesn't work exactly like the SDK (i.e. Terminal IDE from the Market), or you setup an environment you can run the necessary tools in. I have a Debian stable chroot on my device with JDK, Ant, and Android SDK setup, the only problem is a few programs like render-script support, the emulator, and maybe one core program for doing the usual ant builds (aapt I think).
So you can use the Android SDK almost perfectly fine on device, only thing is you can't make an APK or use the ant build without compiling something from the SDK yourself (and I don't know where the source is, and ASOP is a big ass thing to download now just to run grep). All the pure "Java" parts work and you can run natively by using a real JDK on your device. The Android SDK is like 90-95% pure Java code and doesn't need a GUI to function if you can live that way.
Other wise you're limited to doing things the harder way than just here's the code, make APK and go clickly in a file manager.
You can even make regular Java code that will run on Android+davlik, as long as you don't use things missing from the Android API (like Swing) and know enough about how .java becomes .apk to put it in Dalvik format.
I don't know if Eclipse and the ADT work differently or not, so I have not tried them on device. Yes, you probably could use Eclipse on device if you do the Xvnc+a VNC client but ahem, I don't even like running Eclipse on a hell of a lot more powerful hardware. With a bit of tweaking to use the right SWT, the SDK manager could run its GUI the same way but that's more bother (to me) than using a little command line fu.
For editing code either an Android app or a Linux app can be used. I use vim because I have used it since like '05. Some might prefer e.g. Touchqode.
Something like Terminal IDE is probably best for people that don't understand things but you can't do a "Regular" build like with the Android SDK on a PC.
Oh, and btw if anyone knows where I can find the source for the Android SDK, let me know because I want to get it compiled for my tablet .

FireFox OS to Android

We got some FireFox OS phones in recently and I was wondering if there is anyway to get Android loaded onto the phone instead of the FireFox OS. It seems like an OK phone, I'm just curious how it might run Android if it can.
I did some searches on the forum if anyone has done it yet, but I came up empty. If someone can point me in the right direction that would be great! If there is other information you might need, let me know.
They are the Geeksphone Peak (I would like to post an image reference, but I'm a newer user, sorry!).
Thanks!
