I think this is a cool idea. I'm at work now so I can't test it.
Which O.S. is this gui written for? windoze or Linux?
Sent from my I897 using XDA App
used it. its nice. its cool. its not for me .
its just easier for ME to just adb push C:\blahblahblah?\blah to /blah/blah
or just " adb reboot download"
but this is nice for others that are new to ADB and commands
great work
you may want to re-post or ask moderator to move to : Android > General
as this isnt specific to captivate. any android novice would love this tool.
great job!

Hey all, I bet alot of us Sidekick 4g owners are wondering the same question ... Can we install ubuntu on our Sidekick 4g? Is Someone or group or team doing so?
Doesn't seem very likely. I have not heard of any android phones running ubuntu. I could be wrong though

sofar i checked out linux installer on the market place but it was saying the device lacked a few dozen commands for terminal to work I think it be more possible if we had gingerbread on our phones an developement for loop devices.

What would help is if one of our devs could tell us if there is loop device support for the roms that are avail cause thats what you need to get chroot linux running. If memory serves me right adam outler was thinking about deving a linux distro for our phone while he was working on the UNBRICKABLE mod for our phone.
U can ask adamoutler he has had interest obtaining ubuntu but does not have the device or one of disposal

While looking at somethings about installing certain apps or rooting, I see that they say to use adb. Is this something used on the phone itself, computer, or both. From what I understand, it is similar to command prompt on the PC.

Its a bridge for your comp to talk to the phone. With adb u can push pull remove files ect ect. Its a tool to learn if u want to get into andtoid modding.

OK. Thanks. So, it's something to download online on my PC, then connect my phone to the PC, and go on from there. Is that correct?
Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk
Yep. Download the android sdk. Android.com
Java will need to be dloaded. Sdk will prompt that.

FYI
There is a pretty good thread about ADB that shows up as the first sticky in this questions and Answers forum.
Thank you both for your responses. They helped to clarify my understanding.

As of right now, what is holding us back from porting gingerbread to our sidekicks? Is it drivers? Or a 2.3 kernel that runs? I need a list of what needs to be done exactly.

Hope that helps!
Thank you, but I've seen both of those and followed them to the end. I'm looking for a specific list of what is needed to port gingerbread to our device. As in i may take up the task of porting it
Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA
Would probably be a good idea to continue where windixxi left off since hes the closest person to get ginger working on our phone.
i think i remember Sduvick explaining that the drivers for this device are not exactly generic, so we really need an official Gingerbread kernel from Samsung. i'm pretty sure he tried porting a gb kernel from another device, but without updated drivers for the SK4G, it was basically impossible. that's how i understand it anyway.
Thank you yogi for the info and yes pintek im aware of windxixi great work but i cant figure out his github at all. Its not labeled well.. so more or less its a drivers issue?

Basically? That's what I understood as well.
So instead of trying to port drivers we would have to write new drivers in theory since we don't have a source to build from?

It's no small job. Here's sduvick's assessment of the issue:

Thanks for the reading orange. Gave me the idea that the kernel is going to have to be a makeshift mix and match type thing from kernels from multiple phones.

I agree.
As mentioned previously, maybe windixxi can provide some insight as well.
You're probably going to need some experience and knowledge of coding (i.e. C, Python, Java) and access to a Linux rig of some sort as well..
Yes im going to setup a linux enviroment soon i was thinking ubuntu but i havent setup a linux in a while are their any better alternatives?

I recommend installing a hard drive specifically for your Linux environment and using the bios to switch between your boot OS.
But, I also have Ubuntu installed inside of VirtualBox. It's a bit slow, but it works inside of Windows.
so awesome that Samsung are such *****es about this haha
Sounds like i may be in need of a better computer. Ill see what i can do with what i have and start looking into kernels with stuff we need
Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA
I think there's a kernel guide here you could look at.
A OC/UV Kernel would be fabulous.

I might try that to get me back into the groove of things, things are going slow with classes though so nobody should get their hopes up yet. But if i manage to buil an oc/uv kernel sucessfully, then my next project will be working on a gingerbread kernel. Ill keep you guys posted in the weeks to come.

If you (or other SK4G developers) are interested, I may be able to arrange a build server.
As in a place to host the kernels we build?

Guys,
Im looking for instructions on how to root the Note 10.1 by using a pc that is running Ubuntu (or any version of Linux for that matter). The tutorials Ive seen so far are using Windows and Odin.
I have rooted my galaxy Nexus by using the command line in Linux, but Im not sure if a similar procedure will work.
If any one has a link that they can share, I would appreciate it. Thanks.
Wow your looking to do a lot of adb commands..

Lol Yeah : p also this is the wrong section . this Should have been posted in Q & A
Actually, it wouldn't be many at all. Should be similar to rooting the gnex.
I thought I was posting in the correct forum since it was about rooting.
If it's not right, mod, please move this post.

Think about this subforum as a "collection" of "library" with the information. A tutorial on how to root is welcome. A question on how to root goes to "Questions and answers".
When you go to a library, you don't want to see the record of all people who has looked for all of the books mixed with the books, do you?
WTB: I am also interested in that tutorial

I just rooted my Note 10.1 from Ubuntu using Heimdall 1.4rc with the HighOnAndroid CWM recovery. I can't post outside links since I'm a new user, but I'll try to post a more detailed tutorial in a few days.
yep Heimdall works just as well (if not better) than odin.
You could of just put the exynos exploit app onto your memory card and ran that. As long as its not the latest round of JB4.1.2 on your tablet you can root it REALLY easily. Then when you upgrade, You use Mobile ODIN. This will allow you to keep root access.
No stuffing around with the PC unless you download the app on that and transfer to the tab, but you can do that with your tablet...
Hi Guys
I want to know can we change the OS of an android device.
Android ----->> Windows or any other OS and vice-versa. Like we do in our PC or Laptop. Or do i have to use a particular device to achieve the task
Thanks in advance
You usually can't.
If you want to mess with it, Google it and see who's done what with what device.
Ultimately it would be really cool if someone was able to develop some sort of boot-loader that allows you choose your OS at boot. Going between Android and Firefox/Ubuntu would be awesome (and seem more likely?)
yes its possible you can run wxp or ubuntu in your android phone,but dont run smooth...watch:

It depends entirely on which phone, specifically. Remember, you need drivers for the various hardware components. Many drivers are closed-source, and we're at the mercy of whoever owns the code to the drivers.
