Fear not, in this tutorial, you will learn on how to install a linux shell on your Windows OS!
To install a linux shell on Windows, there's a few solutions solutions that I usually prefer:
Msysgit
Cygwin
Powershell
In this tutorial, Msysgit is the program that will be installed as apart from giving you a linux shell, it gives you access to do git related things(clone a repo, fork repo) which is a very good plus
So, here's it, we'll install a linux shell on our Windows OS and have fun with it later on
Msysgit Installation:
1. Click here and download the latest version of msysgit(The latest version of the time of writing is 1.8.0 http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/downloads/detail?name=Git-1.8.0-preview20121022.exe&can=2&q=)
2. Open the installer and you will see something similar to this and click Next to continue
3. After that, you will be shown the gpl license as per shown below and click Next to continue
4. You will be prompted the location to install msysgit at. Click Next to continue
5. You will be prompted for additional settings, click Next to continue.
6. You will be prompted for the startup menu, click Next to continue.
7. You will be prompted for the path environment, select Use Git Bash only and click Next to continue.
8. You will be prompted for the line ending adjustment. Select Checkout as-is, commit Unix-style line endings and click Next to continue.
9. The installer will install the required files.
10. The installation has finished! Untick ReleaseNotes.rtf and click Finish to end the installation.
How to use:
1. Right click on an empty space at your desktop and click Git Bash.
2. Type your linux "hackish" commands!
The command that is used in the first screen shot is ls -la(directory listing with the file permissions of each file).
There's a lot of commands that you can play with, like echo, cat, uname, which, grep, sed, and many many more!
NOTE #1: For the best compatibility, cygwin would be preferred as it has a very complete set of linux commands built-in but Msysgit is less hassle to setup and it allows you to mingle around with Git once the setup is done which is a very good thing
NOTE #2: Msysgit is not preferred as a shell to create anything advanced like roms or kernels as the features that are available at mysysgit is rather limited(but it is enough for most users like us ).
There will be more tutorials which are related to Git and Linux will be made in the future, so read up fast and stay tuned for more contents! :fingers-crossed:

Release key signer
This is a tool I made for myself and figured I'd share it with everyone
what it does :
1 makes you your own set of release keys
2signs an apk with those keys
3zipaligns your apk
4signs zip files with your release keys
You need to have java in your system path if you don't know how then follow the guide in the second post.
What are release keys? release keys are what google and other corps. use to sign apks and update zips. It's also required to sign an apk with release keys to put them on the market.
How to use:
1ownload release key maker from here
2: unzip anywhere then put your apk (you must remove the meta-inf folder from the apk) into the unzipped folder
3: Double click the batch file and follow the steps
Part Two
This other upload is just an updated version it doesn't let you make the release keys it already has them and the keystore password in the batch file. It also signs zips with a test key because signing a zip with a release key seems to mess some things up.
Download part two here
simple right?
thanks go to:
Papa smurf (for spreading the info)
Darchstar ( I just like your roms)
Regawmod
JAguirre1234
Daneshm90
Tkirkton
To do:
hopefully add the ability to not have to enter your password when you sign an apk
other stuff
HOW TO PUT JAVA IN YOUR SYSTEM PATH
First thing first go to here and download the java runtime (JRE) and then
the java development kit. Now install them both.
Now open up your start menu and right click COMPUTER and select properties
A window will open up that looks like this
select "advanced system settings"

a new window will open up that looks like this
select "environment variables"
a little window will open like this in environment variables scroll down to path select it and click edit
another window will open like this
at the very end of it type this
Code:
;C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_21\bin
click all the "ok" then I believe a reboot is necessary
now enjoy
updated post with new stuff
Had an issue with the path for the jdk, but went and looked and saw that the file name for the version I have is 1.6.0_23 instead of _21. Once I got that minor issue lined out it works great. Thank you for this.
ok... so it helps to have the right Javas installed... weak lol

GMADB is a GUI based Minimal ADB that helps you work on modifying your Android device via the Android Debug Bridge. This program helps you to speed up your process of sideloading an update to your android device by making the UX easier. It has four main functionalities:
1. Select and Flash - This allows you to simply select the .zip or .img file of the update and flash it with just a single click. All the process happening will be displayed on the blackBoard (the big black textbox that looks like a terminal window).
2. ADB Devices - With one click, it displays all the available/connected devices on Android Debug Bridge (ADB).
3. Custom Command - This helps you to execute custom shell commands from the app, making it easier for you to do any operation without going to cmd.
4. Log recorder - The application generates a log file of all your activities, which will help you to debug or evaluate all the errors, outputs and everything that was on the blackBoard. (Will be available from the next update)

Example: Let's assume that you want to install a custom rom (assume, HentaiOS) on your phone (assume Redmi Note 7 pro).
step 1: Click on the "Select ROM" button. Select the .zip file from the file explorer window that opens up. The selected filename will be displayed and the Flash button will become active (Bright green color).
step 2: Click the "Flash" Button. Wait for the process to complete. Do not close the window until you see the success message on the screen. (In the current version, real-time process output streaming is not available (will be fixed in the upcoming updates), so DO-NOT close the window assuming that the process is not happening. Please refer the phone for the process progress information.)

Known bugs:
1. The results/output shown on blackBoard is not real-time. Output appears only after the completion of the process
2. Runs on a single thread
3. Log Generator yet to be implemented

I have tried restarting my computer(linux) and running ./studio.sh but it is still not loading.
I am also seeing in the terminal:
2021-03-19 12:48:57,346 [ 56749] WARN - Container.ComponentManagerImpl - Do not use constructor injection (requestorClass=com.android.tools.idea.apk.issues.SetupIssueReporter)
first, glad to see you use programming on linux, i encourage you continue using it and learn it
that "WARN", is normal when starting studio from command line.
check in ~/HOME/AndroidStudioProjects directory, (if you allowed android studio to install location for projects in ~/HOME/AndroidStudioProjects, and in ~/HOME directory check if you have "Android" directory, there is located Sdk tools.
check permissions for directories, just check this website , cd (open directory, terminal command) to ~/HOME/AndroidStudioProjects;
Code:
~/HOME/AndroidStudioProjects
, and check permissions via
Code:
ls -l
, or
Code:
cd AndroidStudioProjects
to get deeper into, to list project directories you have, and check their permissions, they need to have write, and read permissions for owner at least
And replace ~/HOME, with your name you use in linux, if command don't work, so not to get confused there

Thanks so much for you help and encouragement for programming with linux!
I checked the permissions of the folder and am seeing:
Code:
drwxrwxr-x
Which I think means that I have permissions for this folder.

In Linux, what Android is based on, the su (read: switch user) command is used to run a command as a different user, means the su command is used to run an OS function as a different user. It is the easiest way to switch or change to the administrative account in the current logged in session.
So using su to temporarily act as a root user - a root account is a master administrator account with full access and permissions in the system - allows you to bypass any default user-restrictions and perform different tasks with full permissions.
Because most Android versions by defaut use limited user accounts for normal use - making the system more secure - what restricts the user from running specific OS commands, the tool provided herewith adds su command to Android, what allows the currently logged in user to temporarily act as a root user - take note that a root account is a master administrator account with full access and permissions in the system.
su Command Syntax
To use the su command, enter it into a Windows command-line as follows:
Code:
adb shell "toybox su -c '[options] [username [arguments]]'"
Take note that if [username] is omitted su defaults to the superuser (in Linux term: root).
Hi, I came across this from another post where the user was trying to get su in his a022f. I have the same device and would like to achieve the same result. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find the zip file (there's no link to dl), or is it still being worked on, hence the absence of a link?
