Hey guys, i just wanted to share these applications that i found awhile back. I have them posted in the old vogue forums but they still come in very handy to me.
I DID NOT DEVELOPE ANY OF THIS SOFTWARE. CREDIT GOES TO THE DEVELOPERS
Some of you may already have these.
If you have Android SDK, ADB and JAVA, all you need to do is download the attached files, extract, and run them.

Android Screen Monitor
This is a really nice and easy to use screen monitoring\screenshot program.
ASM is an Android Debug Bridge (adb) client, When it starts monitoring screen,
ASM connects to adb on port 5037 and receives frame buffer continuously on the device or emulator and transfer image to your desktop window.
You can rotate and scaling monitor window and export a image into PNG file as screen shot tool.
ADB Must be installed
If you have sdk installed skip step 1.
If you have Java JRE(JDK) installed skip step 2
Make sure you have your phone plugged in usb.
1. Make sure ADB is functional
2. Download Android SDK for Windows and place the android-sdk-windows folder on the root of your C:\ Drive.
3. Download and install Latest version of Java
4. Download the attached asm.zip and extract asm.jar out.
5. Place the asm.jar in \android-sdk-windows\tools folder.
6. Right click on asm.jar and place a shortcut on your desktop. Run the jar file or shortcut to bring up the monitor

Yes, I just tried out the Android Screencast. It seemed to work well. I am not sure what I would use it for, but it did work.
I didn't try ASM because I use DDMS for screenshots. DDMS is built into the Android SDK and works perfectly without needing anything extra.
Thanks for the contributions though.

greek keyboard
although it is rather slow, it works Ok.
I can use the english keyboard for composing messages, working with contacts, but when I turn the PC-keyboard to the greek language, I cannot use it with the phone.
Any suggestion pls?

Screencast is great for people like me who are physically disabled and can't use their hands. I used to use EveryWan Personal Edition by Sparus Software which only works with Windows mobile devices...hope screencast will become as good as (or better than) EveryWan!

[GUIDE] Easier Method for running Ubuntu on Kindle Fire (1st Gen)

***Easy method to run Ubuntu on the Kindle Fire (1st Gen)***
Hello folks, I have put together a simple guide to run Ubuntu 12.04 on the Kindle Fire. I decided to do this because if I would have known about a simple guide to run Ubuntu it would have made my life easier a few months ago. This method does not take very much knowledge and experience, just follow a few simple steps.
There are two simple requirements to get started initially:
1.) The application called "Complete Linux Installer" found on the Play Store free of charge
2.) 2.5GB of free space on your SD card partition
After you meet those simple requirements it's time to fire up the Complete Linux Installer app. Within the app itself it has steps to follow but if you're like me it might for some reason become complicated.
Ok, here we go:
Step 1.) Open app and select "Install Guides"....then proceed to "Ubuntu 12 Install Guide". You will see a message about compatability issue with ROMs and kernals (I am currently using a CM7 ROM with IR's kernal and it works fine) and also a message stating that ADB must be enabled for use. It also reminds you to have at least 2.5GB free on SD. Continue on to the next screen
Step 2.) Now you are at the point of downloading the Ubuntu image itself and two apps needed to finish out the process. When you select "Download Ubuntu Image" it will give you the option of downloading either the large, small or core. I've only tried this method using the small image, (roughly 400MB to be downloaded). It will direct you to the website Source Forge so you might want to use a browser that will actually download the large .zip file. Now download the Android Terminal Emulator and the Android VNC Viewer app from the Google Play Store. You're now ready for step 3!
Step 3.) It's time to decompress that large .zip file which can be very tedious in a way. The .zip should contain two files: the Ubuntu.img and Ubuntu.img.md5 file. Place these into a folder on the root of your SD card, I usually use a folder called Ubuntu, go figure. The Complete Linux Installer app will also explain this in the step on the app after the download screen.
Step 4.) Time to run Ubuntu! You can either use the Complete Linux Installer widget called "One Click Boot Ubuntu" or from the main selection screen of the app by hitting the "Launch" button. If you launch Ubuntu from the widget it will initially ask for the path of the image itself....ex: on my Kindle the path would read /mnt/sdcard/Ubuntu/Ubuntu.img
When you launch the image, the Terminal Emulator will automatically load up and it will say "Validating Image Checksum" for a few seconds. This is also explained in the Linux Installer app. If you get the message about the file being corrupt than either something in the decompression process or downloading went wrong. Re-download the image.
After the Terminal verifies the image it will ask "Start VNC server?", of course hit "y".......the SSH server is optional and then it should ask for your desired resolution....the Kindle Fire has a 1024x600 Res but you can put any you want. Remember whenever you want to terminate the session, just type "exit" in the Terminal Emulator.
Step 5.) Setting up the VNC Viewer is the last step! Go into Android VNC Viewer and set the parameters. Start with New connection, give it a nickname, password must be "ubuntu", your local IP address, port 5900, set color to 24 and now you're finally ready to hit "Connect" and load up the Ubuntu environment!
Using this method to access Ubuntu is very deterimental on battery life. This is my first descriptive guide on XDA so please give feedback and maybe some tips and pointers.

Thant You! That's vey nice ;D Do you kow much time can Ubuntu run on kindle withouth charger?

Thanks for this, I'll give it a try.

It's hard to say....when I would run the Ubuntu image, the battery graph would take a nose dive at almost a 90 degree angle downward lol

If you can revert back the changes with ubuntu commands as normal then the only thing is to wipe reinstall...
You can't access terminal at all

So there is no way to boot into command line ? Too bad..
Is there a way to only fresh install Ubuntu and not android?

Yes with the tubuntu app use the update rootfs option, it allows you to update android or ubuntu separately

The rootfs option doesn't work..x3maniac is aware. In the meantime use this on the assumption the partition layouts are all the same. You do need the tubuntu app to get wheelie and nvflash commands.

where did you place the iso file?

i placed it in the root of the sd card. but there are some changes in filesystem due to multi user option in newer android versions. so i manually 'located' the .img file
also i found out that in the terminal it doesn't show @localhost on tab 2. it showed @espressorf, so i tried entering both in vnc app address bar. but nothing helped

according to your data there is no prob with terminal
If you have changed the iso file place then do register it in the Complete Linux installer app also
You can check out this thread for the tut :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1585009

yes brother i did that as well

Enter 'help' for a list of built in commands.
(initramfs) unable to find a medium containing a live file system."
does anyone have the solution to this ???? i've searched on google but no success!!!

Easiest way to solve it is probably just to do a reinstall. You did try that, right?

Strange, maybe 14.04 isn't compatible with your hardware somehow. Try 12.04 LTS
