My tablet is rooted, I have Busybox, Better Terminal Emulator Pro, Terminal Emulator, Superuser, and every other hack-y type app you can think of, but if I try to run an ssh from one of the command line's, I get ' ssh: command not found'.
Should I have it, is there any way I could add it? I've got it on my Cyanogenmod build of my Desire, but I need it for vnc tunnelling sessions with the tablet, the screen is just to small on the phone!
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Ok, so just after posting, I realised I want going in under BTEP's shell, but as soon as I did that, I had the ssh command- but it's not the right version. I'm trying to login to an Amazon ec2 server, with a .pem key, but if I try to do that with dropbear's version of ssh, I get a 'string too long' error. On my phone, I have an OpenSSH version of ssh, and that's why it works without a problem.
So my question now is, how do I get the OpenSSH version of the ssh binary into my tablet? (even though I knew it wouldn't work, I did try copying over the one from my Desire, just in case anyone suggests it)

I got where I wanted by using a patched version of connectbot, the irssi one which doesn't crash, accepts my pem keyhole, stays open in the background and forwards ports correctly. That, along with my discovery of the "Hacker's Keyboard", have made managing servers remotely ridiculously easy for me!

And just to come back on this again, Better Terminal Emulator Pro comes with OpenSSH binaries included. I don't know their specific versions, they only say "Ported to Android by www.magicandroidapps.com", but one way or another, it's great because it performs better than Connectbot (at times, with port forwarding), that was eating like 80% of my CPU, works by just pointing it to my .ssh folder, and is entirely more acceptable than any other option.
Only irritation is that the dropbear build of ssh is called just 'ssh', whereas Openssh's is 'openssh', had it been the other way around, dropbear's been 'dropssh' (the way I have it now), I'd never had a problem :/
Sure does feel lonely in this thread...

Hi,
I need the captivate to be able to connect to a adhoc wifi network created using my laptop. However, android doesn't seem to be supporting it, just access point networks. Has anyone tried this, any success?
Searching revealed one thread where a guy modified some code on an htc phone, and got it to work, but seemed a little dated. Not sure if that would work with the android 2.1 and the Samsung phone.
Help appreciated.
The Captivate can connect to ad-hoc networks, but not through the native GUI interface. I tested mine via adb shell issuing some iwconfig commands via script to connect to a MyWi router on a friend's iPad. It's buggy, to say the least..

agentdr8,
Thanks for the reply.
Care to share details on the commands you ran? Or are you saying it's not worth it because it's so buggy?
thanks
To avoid a hard lockup, start with the wifi turned off. I tested it numerous times with it already on, and it resulted in a battery pull.
You'll need busybox 1.7x (maybe 1.8x will work too?). You'll also need a working iwconfig binary (I symlinked mine from the WifiTether app dir: /data/ext2data/data/android.tether/bin to /system/xbin)
With an adb shell, try something like this:
$ su
# /system/xbin/ifconfig eth0 up
# /system/xbin/iwconfig eth0 mode ad-hoc
# /system/xbin/iwconfig eth0 essid YourEssidHere
# /system/xbin/iwconfig eth0 key WEPkeyhere
Now with wifi turned off, these commands will all error since the interface is down/off (eth0 is the wifi, at least on my Cap). Turn your wifi on and rerun the same commands, followed by:
# netcfg eth0 dhcp
This may or may not error out, but ultimately, you should see a dhcp address for eth0 as handed out by your dhcp server/mywi device.
You may need to also manually add the ad-hoc network in the GUI with its key. I can't remember if I needed that or not, but with it I can see the connection status and when it's grabbing the IP. Even shows connected and signal strength once it does connect (assuming it doesn't lockup).
agent can you help me pls. Im a newbie still.
Do i run all those commands in windows when my phone is connected or do i run it through something like terminal emulator an app on the phone??
You can either use adb shell on your Windows machine (part of the Android SDK), or you can use a terminal on the device itself (ConnectBot is my preferred). Your phone needs to be rooted if it isn't already.
Okay, I'll try out the connectbot. Can you tell me how to do this part then if it's needed??
"You'll also need a working iwconfig binary (I symlinked mine from the WifiTether app dir: /data/ext2data/data/android.tether/bin to /system/xbin)"
how do you do this symlinked part?? I don't really understand it.
I tried ur commands without doing the symlinked part....everything just returned a "not found" message.
Maybe you could give me a dumbed down step by step way of doing this hahahaha??? Im rooted and i have busybox 1.7x, just missing the working iwconfig because im not really sure what it is.
If you're not too familiar with linux commands, it would be best to wait for someone to build a widget/GUI app around this, as poking around in a root shell on your phone is never a good idea if you're not aware of the potential consequences of blindly running commands.
It's possible that with the Froyo update adhoc connections may just work as intended, not that I've read anything that suggests that.
The portal had a write up on how to connect an android device to an adhoc network a couple days ago.

Issue isn't on iPhone-end, nor wpa-supplicant end (as the wpa-supplicant binary included in the android wireless tether app has this ability).
The problem is the GUI end of things (i.e., settings.apk) ALSO filters the results.
So it goes beyond simpy modifying the wpa-applicant (yes; this is sufficient for the basic-functionality), but is very crude & diffcult to do on the go from the tiny terminal emulator, etc.
What I've personally been looking for, is an update that modifies the neceasary files, and enables this extewmely useful function.
Something similar to the update package posted for the froyo-build, but instead for the ECLAIR-2.1 build of the captivate.
If anyone knows of anything availible like I'm describing (a GUI-centered mod that will remove ALL the STUPID damn (pardon language lol) IBSS filtration form the settings.apk, wpa-supplicant, wireless configuration files, etc for the ECLAIR-2.1 build of the Captivate so that it JUST WORKS lol -- this way we can SEE and CONNECT via our native GUI .
I've gotten this to work through running command line / configuration file hacks, but it's very messy/annoying AND to make things MORE annoying, once you've put it into Ad-hoc mode and have it all setup very nicely, guess what? The settings.apk application (which is needed to load the device into kernel), will actually COMPLETELY UNDO all the tedious command line efforts you've just made, and takes the wifi chip out of Ad-hoc mode every x amount of minutes! ARGH!! LOL!
Anyway, I've gone through the source code and patch diff's myself and it really doesn't seem very involved. I actually was planning on compiling the necessary modded binary (making a nice update.zip for all the frustrated captivate owners like myself lol), but I simply haven't had the time to setup the build environment for it at the moment (have several other build environments I'm juggling as it is with work).
Anyway, I apologize for the rant lol -- I just wanted to clarify exactly what is needed and point out it really wouldn't be much work (and would be VERY much appreciated!!!!) if someone with the skill, time, and a build environment for the galaxy s (captivate, speifically lol , could post an eclair mod for us -- you would receive AN ENORMOUS amount of praise & thanks lol .
OR -- if someone who has a little time, could simply modify the android wireless-tether-app to have one extra feature, 'connect to ad-hoc network' lol . This would also be ideal, as it already fully supports the initialization & loading of the captivate wireless driver properly, and can fully manage the interface & connections while running in the background (independent of settings.apk). PLUS -- it even already has full ad-hoc support built into it's own pre-packaged wpa-supplicant. Basically, all the hard work has already been done with the wireless-tether-app, just need a few extra functions to handle scanning for networks and connecting to them (relatively simple, considering they've already done ALL the hard work..lol)..
Okay, my rant is officially done! Lol! I just hope this helps those who have the capability to help, give a clear picture of all that's required. It's late, so some of this stuff may have already been mentioned and I missed it! Shoot, maybe someone just finished doing exactly what I just went on & on about? Lol.
In any case, if anyone is willing to help out -- or already knows of a solution already out there I've missed -- PLEASE let me' know! This functionality would truly help a great deal in my day to day work with my captivate! Thanks in advance!!!

Following this tutorial, Ubuntu installed perfectly on my Mez. No problems whatsoever! Just need to root the phone (I rooted with z4root if it matters).

Do you need adb to do it or can I just do it through android terminal?
Using my computers a pain lol
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I'm assuming you need ADB, but it might work through the terminal.. I did it through ADB and had no problems whatsoever so I'd do it ADB just to be safe.
You don't need ADB, you can do most of it through a terminal emulator app. First enable WiFi and find out the WiFi IP address. Follow all the guide steps until you get to the part about finally seeing "[email protected]:/#"
Then issue the commands:
Code:
apt-get update
apt-get install openssh-server nano
service ssh start
passwd root
After that last command you'll be asked to set a password for the root account, do something simple to type on the android keyboard, like 'qwerty'.
Now go to a computer and SSH into your phone via PuTTY or whatever your favorite SSH client app is. Now it will be WAY easier to install things via apt, get the GUI running from the howto guide, etc etc. Also then you'll have a real file editor (nano) to work inside of, so you can edit the config files (such as 'bashrc' without having to do very complicated cat commands. This is how I performed my setup and it worked flawlessly. Note that if you set it up to create a VNC session for you automatically in the bashrc, you'll really feel the slowdown. In my tweaked version (which, like I said, I'll release on here soon), I have created a simple prompt on login that asks if you want to create a VNC session or not. That way if you are just there for command-line you don't have to eat the phone's RAM away.

This thread should be used to provide feedback and troubleshooting for the Sixaxis Controller and Compatibility Checker apps.
If you have a device that you would like to see supported, and you're happy to step few a bit of debugging to help me determine the issue then please let me know, and preferably provide a screenshot of any error messages.
I'm doing my best to add support for new devices (especially HTC and Samsung), but it seems that it might not always be possible to add compatibility. In this case, the only option for running the app on said device is with an AOSP based rom such as CyanogenMod.
Also, throughout the thread I will occasionally be posting beta versions of the app that include new experimental features. I would be most appreciative of any feedback from those willing to test these new features.
For those looking for help with touch profiles, mythek88 has put together a master list here with a growing list of games. Hopefully at some stage I will add the ability to share profiles directly through the app.

Earl
Both Nexus phones. I'd volunteer for testing, but I don't own a sixaxis.
Out of curiosity, why does this need root access whereas Wii doesn't? Is there a difference between the way the controllers pair or something?

Yes unfortunately, although the Sixaxis basically communicates via the HID protocol, there are a couple of minor differences that would require a kernel patch to make the controller start talking over HID. The only solution I have found for this so far is to bypass HID and communicate directly over L2CAP (both of which require root access).
I'd love to volunteer for testing! I have access to several androids and 8 dualshock and sixaxis controllers
If you wish to test on an Galaxy S II then I am available to help out if required. I too have both DualShock and SixAxis controllers.
I can join to you guys too! I have Desire HD with sense or without it and dualshock3/sixaxis controller.
I have three phones that I'm willing to beta test.
I have dualshock 3 controllers.
LG Optimus S
HTC Hero (rooted w/o Sense)
HTC Evo 3D (soon to be rooted)
I definitely think you should release a free version that lets people test basic compatibility. 15 minute return window doesn't seem like enough to test an app like this.
Very excited to see this app!
Ok, what I'll do initially is release a standalone compatibility test app on here in the next couple of days that basically allows me to get some initial feedback and if required have anyone who is willing with an incompatible phone to run a few tests that might enable me to get them working.
Again, this application will only work on rooted devices, sorry!
Stay tuned.
I'd suggest you to put an free version for like 2 weeks for the time its a beta stage then when everything is finalised make it 1$ which i think is reasonably fair ! And i own an sony ericsson xperia x10 it has to work ! Since sony > sony ericsson is the same company i think ? Lol

Here is the (very basic) windows utility I created today for pairing the controllers to a specific MAC address. Once installed, you should be able to plug a controller in to your PC via Mini-USB and the 'Current Master' should change from 'Searching...' to the last MAC address the controller was paired with (probably your PS3). You can then change the master by entering a new MAC address in the format of xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx. This address will ultimately be the bluetooth address of the phone you wish to use the controller with. The Android app will give you the correct address when run on your phone.
Make sense?
If anyone wants to try it out and let me know if it works on your PC's, that would be lovely. Just enter any old MAC address 00:00:00:00:00:00 will do.
Linux users (and apple mac?) should be able to use the utility called 'sixpair' that is floating around the net.
Just an update that I'm hoping to get a bit of feedback on...
This app allows you to test whether your device will be compatible with the app. Once I have enough feedback about which devices / OS versions it will run on (and potentially improve compatibility with some assistance from testers on the forum), then I will make a release on the market that enables IME.
If you would like to help out, you will need to download the attached apk, as well as the SixaxisPairTool in my previous post. You will then need to extract and install the apk on your phone using adb or something like 'app installer' from the market. Run the app and follow the instructions (you will need to use SixaxisPairTool to pair the controller with the phone (using the bluetooth address displayed at the bottom of the app after tapping 'start').
Please could anyone who tries the app report back here any devices and OS's they have tried, and the success they have. Feel free to ask for help if anything is unclear.
Cheers,
Earl
I ran Sixaxis Compatability Checker on my Asus Transformer running Prime 1.6 (Android 3.1). When I clicked "Start" the program said "Connection Initiated..." and then "Connection Failed." At this point I have not paired my controller because the Checker program does not give me the MAC address. When I click "Stop" my Transformer locks up and nothing works, and while I can turn it off with the power button it does not turn back on until I hard reset it.
oKay i run the Server on Android.. they show me the MAC.. ..
i type the mac address in the Windows App .. the show me the same address in the Server and Controller .. but if i press start at the controller hey only blinking.. -.-
Connection Initiated...

@presslab - Can you try running the command 'hciconfig' on the phone in a terminal emulator as root user and tell me the result.
@Witalka 15 - When you paired the controller using 'SixaxisPairTool', did the 'Current Master' show the same address as the one you typed in after clicking 'Update', or was it still showing 'Searching...'?
I have a Droid X running Liberty Gingerbread ROM 0.9. First off I'd just like to say that I constantly have problems with it, including with Bluetooth, so this may not apply to all Droid X users, but I do receive the "Connection Failed" message, and was just wondering what I can do about it since I've been dying to use my Dualshock with my phone for the longest time. Thanks
Anyone getting a 'Connection Failed' message can help me out by trying the following commands in a terminal window and reporting the results:
su
echo 1 > /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/state
start hciattach
hciconfig -a hci0 up
hciconfig -a hci0 pscan
hciconfig
If you get a 'not found' error when calling hciconfig, you could try copying the executable (from say here) to your /system/xbin folder and making it executable with 'chmod 744 /system/xbin/hciconfig'. Then try running the above commands again.

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!!!

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 .

I am trying to set up a PPP connection from a Zte MF820b 4G LTE USB modem/router to a WiFi only Android tablet with a 4.2.2 os that has a custom ROM installed which technically shouldnt of been jailbroken. The tablet is running a Linux version 2.4.3 and KERNEL:3.0.36. The problem here is me. I am a complete newbie, but do know a little about command prompts and how this should work in theory. The tablet is fully rooted and has all the necessary applets installed via busy box(chat, nc, pppd, ect) and terminal emulator, or at least I think that's what's necessary. I installed PPPwidget 2 and 3 but as apk's and since they are not from the Play Store will not function. I have Google play store installed but its all but useless since I can not log into my account, for reasons I suspect as being that the system is too old and says something about the connection not being secure or private and as such...can not actually get the app with license verification from Google play store. I tried to lucky patch the apk and remove license verification but that did nothing as well. However the apk will read the modem and ask permission to allow pppwidget to be used but shortly fail after for the aforementioned lack of correct license. There must be a way to manually call the modem and connect via terminal emulator using adb ppp or nc? Without any understanding on how to actually write a script I'm hoping someone can help me get this functioning. Situation beyond current controll will not allow me to work with anything other than what's at hand, and I'm willing to pay for someones time if I can actually get this working. I also have a tablet with a different os (8.1 Oreo) should that be easier. With the 4.2.2 the device pops up as "storage" in my file manager. With the 8.1 it pops up as a device Id number when I type in lsusb in my terminal emulator. The 8.1 has Termux installed should that open up a different venue. The carrier I'm using is T-Mobile and the nameserver and ISP info is NS1-AUTH.SPRINTLINK.NET; IP 206.228.179.10. The device is functional as when the opportunity arose I was able to plug up to a computer and try it out. That's no longer viable. Again, I'm willing to pay for the help as I'm sure I'll need to correspond back and forth a few times and will probably need help writing the correct script if needed. Please email me @ [email protected]. Thank you.
