Undelete on ubuntu - General Questions and Answers

So today my pc came back after repair and with no ubuntu anymore, so I decided to install ubuntu 12.10.
Installed, flashed grub2 manually cause of some error.
But the problem is I chose option replace windows (by mistake), so my whole hard disk (earlier 4 partions ) became a single partition ie. sda1
So is there any method to get all files back (if not all atleast some )
I had GBs of images and a huge 100 GB 4 year collection of softwares, I feel bad now !
Also download sources are no more
Wtf ! Please help
Please tell me a terminal command like this :
apt-get install xyz
Please help !
Please I can't find anything using google !

Dont post ques in dev section...
And you just need to do a clean install of the same rom...
I'm sorry I posted it by mistake.
But thnx for ur reply.
And let me know if i can delete my post.
And does clean install mean i have to delete dalvik cache, format system and clean data from recovery mode then fresh install the rom ??
Or just install rom once again without wiping anything ?

on linux you should run adb as root then it would work , if using eclipse , run it using root user .. and it would also detect phone then..

[Guide] [How to] Run windows or mac os on your android.[no root needed]

Hi friends,
This is a guide that help you to run the windows on your android phone.
.
I have tested this by myself using a low end arm6 600mhz with 256Mb ram qvga (240x320) display device and a high end 1.5Ghz phone with 1 Gb ram and 720p display.
Both works well( It took about 5min to boot ) So this will work on almost every android device.
.
Just download the file using the link, extract the SDLApp.apk and install it.
.
Then extract the SDL folder to the root On your phone. (mnt/sdcard/here)Then you're done !!!
.
Open the app "lib sdl"and wait...(may take about 1~20 min to boot into win95)
.
If you want to try to run applications or
access your SD Card within windows create a
folder called HDD in the root of your SDcard
and put whatever you want in there.You can use that foldr as your Hard disk.
.
Ok enjoy !!!
.

Run windows 1 on your android.
Have you ever used windows one?
Try it on your phone.
.
You have to download " AnDOSbox "or "aDosBox" from play store.
.
Download windowsone.img
.
Place it in root of your sdcard (mnt/sdcard/here)
.
Open AnDOSbox/aDosBox app.
.
Type command "boot windowsone.img"
and press enter button.
.
Enjoy...
.
Leave me a small thank also
Run old mac os on your phone
Updating post
Place the file "vMac.ROM" in "minivmac" directory in your SD Card.
Disk images should have .img or .dsk
extensions, and be located in "minivmac"
directory in your SD Card for them to show up
in the disk chooser.
Leave me a small thank also

Thay are real you can install exe (haven't tested but should work) The only problem is its slow.

This is an emulator, it does not replace any operating system, plus this is for android only.
Is it smooth or veeeeeery laggy?
Can I run .exe files?

kernel 3.0.96

@Rox @jereksel I jast need an answer
what we need to make this work for stock rom 4.1.2 I will try and try to make it work
what we need to do ??????
https://github.com/Roxsel/RoXSel-kernel/tree/3.0.84_working
please tell me
I will make to work :fingers-crossed:
and if any one know how to do it tell me
____________________________________________________________________________________
press thinks it wont kill you
1. Download sources
2. Download compiler
3. Set compiler path in file named build.sh ( https://github.com/Roxsel/RoXSel-kernel/blob/3.0.84_working/build.sh#L21 )
4. Open terminal , cd to kernel folder
5. Write this in terminal :
Code:
./build.sh stock 4.1.2 cwm
6. wait about 10 minutes
7. You will get flashable package in out folder
8. Flash it and enjoy in unreleased RoXSel v3
Note: it was never been tested and there is chance that recovery is not working and phone is not booting ( ramdisk problem )
Note2: i think that i dont have to remind that you ahve to be on linux based OS
@Rox ok thinxx rox I will do it and I will test it and see what will happened
what I need to install 3.0.83 or 70 or 96 jest to make it perfect to stock rom
PS.you the man rox :victory:
I guess 3.0.96
If you got some problems i will try to fix ramdisk.. i am still not sure if it is working for stock because i never tested
btw. i have just found mistake in remdisk, about insmoding libs. i will fix it in few minutes
edit: DONE! now you can try.
btw. you can compile kernel same as one on CM. you have to edit ramdisks path and start compiling.
good luck !
I don't know how to do it on windows hehehe
I will find a way to do it but it will take bit time

Sent from my GT-I8160 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Download ubuntu and install it. Download sources and toolchain and compile kernel. What is forbidden in that ?
I also normaly use windows ( 7 ), that cant prevent you from installing ubuntu. Just isntall it on dual boot and on startup you can choose which OS to use
Sent from my GT-I8160 using Tapatalk
You can use UEFI for windows 8 and ubuntu 13.04+
Use at own own risk

"Cassies XLR I9205 V2 DEOD EDITION THUNDERBOLTED" should be a flashable rom (The file contains a android operating system that you can flash to the phone) I suppose that this rom is actually installed. TWRP is a "custom recovery" which is an tool installed on the phone to install roms or perform backups. The TWRP folder has probably 6GB as there are already backups in it. If you don't need the backups it should be safe to delete the TWRP folder or just delete the contained backups.
Yup thats a rom you can delete it if u are done for flashing that rom
