I was wondering if anyone has been able to get the Blocks Editor to Connect to the Thunderbolt.
When I run 'adb devices' the phone is listed and I am able to see the phone listed in the blocks editor, but when I try to connect it gives me some troubleshooting tips likes unplug and try again and states "Unable to get SyncService for device"
This is basically the same problem for both Windows 7 and Ubuntu
I am using Das BAMF and wonder if that has anything to do with it. I would really like to get my feet wet with the App Inventor... :-|
Anyone have any thoughts why or tell me what steps you took to get the TB connected?
Thanks
2 things are at play here. I'd try CM7 first. I used app inventor with my Incredible but using an AOSP rom and it thought it was a nexus one. Also, the thunderbolt could just be incompatible with app inventor for now. Generic code that handles "if X happens, do Y, except when Z is present" may be different than it is with LTE. These are just guesses. I take it you have the correct drivers/ usb debugging/mock locations in order based on seeing it in ADB. Any updates for app inventor?

Java is Java. It shouldn't have anything to do with LTE, IMHO.
Would it be possible one day for tablets to be given the capability to root smart phones and/or other tablets via terminal emulator using or replicating adb and vice versa?

anyone know of a app that you can control your phone via pc make phone calls text etc... i am not rooted as of now so i need something that does not require root would be sweet... pain in butt to text back on my dock have to pull the damn thing out !!!
I can almost guaranty that anything able to do what you want will require root. I could be wrong but don't think so.
Unfortunately the only 1 I know of that works is webkey, it requires root but works ok.

Droid VNC Server allows you to do this. I have it on my phone, but I'm fairly sure it requires root, just like many other great applications. Is there something that is preventing you from rooting?
There are many great resources on this site if you need help getting started.
By the way, Droid VNC Server does eat up CPU on the phone, but that shouldn't be much of a problem if you aren't doing anything too intensive and you are plugged in...
The fact that my phone and my pc can't communicate that is why I. Have not rooted

Have you installed the Samsung drivers for USB?

Maybe try that out or use Google Voice. I haven't used either in the way that you are describing but it might be worth looking in to these options.

What's the best non rooted tether app?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
The stock one that comes with your phone. Or you can use clock work mod tether but you need a USB cable for that.

Pdanet works great for usb tethering. Free too. But you need paid version to access secure sites. I used it for a long time before I rooted and setup my wifi hotspot.
Crap I really don't wont to root

What about the clockwordmod tether app I've heard about before that doesn't require root?

PdaNet 3.50, Easy Tether, ClockworkMod Tether, Proxoid, AziLink
As stated above, there's PdaNet 3.50, Easy Tether, and ClockworkMod Tether. You have to pay for the full version of all three, but none of them require rooting.
The two free ones that I know of are Proxoid and AziLink. Proxoid's easier to install, but I think AziLink works better (at least that was the case when I tried it a long time ago). It looks like development for both of them ended a couple years ago. Here's Proxoid's page:
code.google.com/p/proxoid/
As the name says, it works like a proxy, so I'm guessing that some things wouldn't work well on it.
And AziLink's page:
code.google.com/p/azilink/
Windows 7 instructions (probably works for Vista and XP too):

Linux (Ubuntu) instructions:

blog.lifebloodnetworks.com/?p=238
I'll admit it, installing AziLink is pretty intimidating; it's all through Terminal (or Command Prompt in Windows). But I managed to do it back in my early Linux days (not that long ago, actually ). The worst thing you can do is kill your phone and computer. If that happens, I always like to resort to duct tape.
I tried for a while to stay away from rooting my phone because I was afraid I was going to brick it. But then I finally rooted it, and I've never once regretted it.
what type of phone do you have? It should be already installed on your phone. On the Nexus it is in the more section. Or a custom ROM could give you a toggle. On my Bionic, Epic 4 G Touch, and Rezound they all had built in apps also, no root required.
So I rooted and flashed Roms on a macbook by connecting my N5 via USB. Now my first macbooks data is corrupted. I thought this might be the fact the macbook is 4 years old. So then I try my Dads macbook pro because my phone isn't performing as well and keeps freezing and going into a bootloop. So I connected it to the pro and then about 45 min later, the macbook pro doesn't even turn on. Does anyone know anything about this? Do I have a virus on my phone possibly?

Its not a virus. Viruses cannot cause devices to not turn on.

What do you think caused both macbooks to have their data corrupted? I plugged in my nexus and both got fried. Now my dad is pissed and I need to explain to him it wasn't because I tried rooting and unrooting on the macbook
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
Yeah there's no way that running a couple of terminal commands from a Mac to a phone can do any of this.

In order for anyone to help, you must be more specific in the steps you took prior to developing the problem.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Not sure if trolling or serious.
Unless you ran destructive commands using root, there's no way this happened.
What commands did you run? What tools did you use? Did you use a toolkit from the forums or did you download one from a random website?
Other than that you sound like a sheep, should have stuck to iPhones kid.

Sorry I was just being vague figuring someone else might have had the same problem. But first off I rooted and flash Franco first on my macbook. And everything seemed to work fine. Then after trying to flash PSX ROM, my phone started to run into problems. Like the first one was that something like the UID? had a problem with the system. So then I tried undoing the ROM and putting on cataclysm. This is when my Mac started to really get slow. My Mac just started crashing and so then I tried to flash the stock image because coincidentally my phone was rebooting like crazy and also crashing when trying to open certain apps or trying to do things to fast. While doing this my mac crashed when I was in the final stage of flashing my stock. So some kind guy on here helped me put everything back to stock. He also helped me root and flash Franco and cataclysm ROM. (Now started from when flashing the stock image on the phone successfully, I was using my dads macbook pro since my macbook didn't even boot up and was stuck on the apple logo) so after flashing everything my phone kept on getting into bootloops. So I tried putting everything back to normal, but then my macbook got unbelievably slow. So tried restarting it and then that macbook got stuck on the apple logo. I don't know what the hell is going on. Even as I'm typing this, my nexus 5 typing is laggi g like crazy!?!

Give us more info about exactly what you did, what commands you ran etc.
sent from my hammerhead
That's not what we meant by steps you took.
We want to know if you used command lines and what commands you typed in.
Or if you used a toolkit program on your macs.
Otherwise no one can help or will have the patience.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
OK really OP, it sounds like you didn't know what you were doing. First, wipe your Nexus 5 clean so you fix the lag and go back to stock. Then, figure out what you spilled on your macbook's to break them because obviously, it wasn't the terminal commands. If you really can't figure this out, head the Apple Genius bar, because we're not there with you to diagnose the problem. It wasn't the ROM or rooting, its something else. Sorry.

I was the one that got him set up using ADB/Fastboot on his Mac. I have to say, I'm pretty miffed at this. I've got an 08' MBP that I've been using to mod my phones and I've never ran into any sort of issue with the MBP itself. This is odd...
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
No, he's not trolling. I stepped him through step by step how to get ADB/Fastboot working on a Mac and restoring back to a factory image in Hangouts the other night. I just don't understand how he could have toasted 2 computers modding a phone...

Yup. Pretty confused here. I'm not sure I could toast my Mac with shell commands even if I wanted to. There has to be something more at play here.

Sounds like one of those 'I couldn't find the kit, file, etc so I looked elsewhere (not on xda) online and found it but couldn't download it until I clicked on the ad first but that file didn't work it only broke my laptop so I decided to do it again since it didn't work the first time'

Hey guys, first off I am not trolling. Secondly I did not spill anything on the macbook. But i just went out and bought a new macbook. Also I unflashed my Nexus so it is back to stock except for the fact that the bootloader is unlocked still. So now a new problem has arisen. my phone is still rebooting and draining a ton of battery because of it. I think i might just have a defective device. I'm going to contact google about this because no one seems to be having this problem. And I'm on stock now so I'm at a loss now

I'm not sure what's going on. I literally stepped him through setting up ADB and Fastboot on a Mac, even had him send me screencaps and we had it working fine, so I have no idea what's going on. Cut the dude some slack.
To fix your macs is easy bro just hold the option key down when booting. Select recovery on the gray screen, that should fix your macs. For the phone: always do a cache and dalvik erase.

Why not? You can build Android natively on a Mac as its Unix based. Second best option besides a Linux Distro, and a hell of a lot better than Windows. No driver issues, etc...

OS X is based on FreeBSD and shares unix ancestry with the Linux-based Android OS. In reality its much "funnier" to be modding on Windows.
