I am a new to using Linux, I just downloaded the SDK 1.5 and I am having some trouble getting the tools to work properly. For example. If I try to open the emulator it will just sit there and do nothing. I cannot get adb to work either. I set it up / the instructions. Any ideas on what I am missing? Thanks
easiest way to fix the adb problem is to move your adb command that is included in the SDK into your /usr/bin or /bin directory. if you have a problem with either of those then type cd ~/<sdk>/tools followed by ./adb the "./" tells the phone to run the command in the current directory, otherwise you could just type the directory to adb to run it i.e. ~/SDK/tools/adb that's all you need. as far as the emulator i have no idea because i have never gotten it up and running properly
How do I add the ADB command to usr/bin?
You can do as followed:
- Run the Terminal
- cd to your sdk/tools directory
- Run these command:
Code:
#./adb kill-server
#./adb devices
If you see your HTC has been remounted, it's done!
sudo mv ~/sdk/tools/adb /usr/bin/adb

What version of Linux? Are you using 64 Bit? What is the result of typing

java -version
You created the AVD, right?

They made a change in 1.5 SDK that you must specifiy the virtual device you want the emulator to run. if you just double click on "emulator", it will print the error to console and exit.
So first cd to the tools directory of the sdk and type android[return]
you will be given the commands that android (the program) will accept. you can also do this for emulator.
Great!! Everything is working well now. Thanks for everyones help!!

fastboot is included in the 1.5 sdk, once you get adb working it should start working as well.

Actually it doesn't seem to be in the Linux 1.5 SDK; I had to build it. It's in the Windows SDK, though. Kinda weird.

First, this is the wrong thread for such a question. This thread is about SDK issues in Linux, and you're asking about using debugging tools in Windows.
Second, if you say yourself that you are "not tech savvy", then I'm not quite sure why you are wanting to play with the SDK tools. I don't mean this in a derogatory way; I'm just not sure what it is that you're trying to accomplish.
That said, Android dev docs can be found here, and information specifically about the emulator is here.

Hey guys!
A friend of mine who is into phone roms and modding, showed me Ubuntu running on his Nexus Android Phone, and thought about how cool it would be to get Ubuntu Running on the Thrive! With a bit of Research I found that there is an ARM port of Ubuntu. The reason why that is an awesome thing is because Linux has this cool thing called chrooting. chrooting is the process of running another version of linux within another running linux OS instance. The downside of chroot is that you can chroot an os made for your phones architecture. In this case, the Terga 2 IS Arm based, so we're all set to go on that. With a few hours of toying around, I have successfully gotten Ubuntu running on my Thrive.
What you'll Need:
- Basic working knowledge of linux.
- The Arm Port of Ubuntu. ubuntu.zip
Original Dev's Site: Download File - ubuntu_zip - DownloadAndroidROMs.com
Mirror 1: MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service
Mirror 2: http://www.zettech.net/ubuntu.zip
Mirror 3: ubuntu.zip - download now for free. File sharing. Software file sharing. Free file hosting. File upload. FileFactory.com
- A *ROOTED* Thrive, with busybox installed and atleast 3gb of spare space in the *INTERNAL* storage... Not the SDCard Storage. You can find out how to do this all at this thread: http://www.thriveforums.org/forum/t...ment/1399-full-working-rooted-thrive-now.html
- A computer with adb setup and the correct working drivers for your thrive. If your Thrive is rooted, than you should have working drivers, unless you rooted it from another pc, in which case you can look at the root thread in this development forum for help. You can check to see if ADB is working by typing "adb devices" at the command promt. A few lines that look like this should pop up.
List of devices attached
286416746464667 device
^ The numbers will look different. Thats OK. If the list is empty, you have a driver issue or connection issue with adb.
How to do it:
1. Download and extract the ubuntu.zip file from one of the above links to your hard drive.
2. Connect your thrive to the PC and Connect your Thrive to a Wifi Access Point.
3. A new storage device should show up. This is your thrive. Now place the ubuntu folder you just extracted in the root of the thrives storage device. NOTE: This is *NOT* actually the sdcard your storing the files on. This is the devices internal memory. (don't put it in the /sdcard-disk0 folder.)
4. Open up an adb shell. Do this by typing "adb shell" at the command promt. A "#" should appear, indicatng you are at a root shell on your thrive.
5. Type "cd /sdcard/ubuntu"
6. Type "sh ubuntu.sh" This is the script that sets all of the permissions for the ubuntu image. You *WILL* see errors on this part. Ignore them.
7. Type "bootubuntu". You should now see a command line that looks like this:
# bootubuntu
bootubuntu
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1
Setting /etc/resolv.conf to Google Open DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
Setting localhost on /etc/hosts
READY TO ROCK AND ROLL BABY!
Brought to you by NexusOneHacks.net and the open source community!
* Congrats. You have Ubuntu running on your thrive now... Now for a better way to control it...
8. Update the OS:
Code:
apt-get update
9. Change the root password:
Code:
passwd root
^ Set this to a secure password. Wouldn't want anyone sploit'en ya eh?
10. Find your Thrives IP Address:
Code:
ifconfig
^ It should be listed as "inet addr" under the wlan0 interface. (See? Told ya you would need basic linux skills. ).
11. Install SSH:
Code:
apt-get install openssh-server
^ Once thats installed, you should be able to ssh to your thrive by either connecting to 127.0.0.1 from a terminal emulater on the thrive, or your thrives IP from a PC on the same network.
12. Install and start a VNC Server:
Code:
apt-get install tightvncserver
Code:
export USER=root
^Tell's what user to start VNC as.
Code:
vncserver -geometry 1280×720
^This starts the VNC server. It will ask you for a password. Remember this password. You may also try 1280x800 if 1280x720 gives you issues.
Now that VNC is installed and running. You should be able to connect to it from a VNC client on port *5901*. If connecting from the Thrive itself, you can connect to 127.0.0.1, or you can connect from a PC by using the thrives IP.
What the issues are:
Ok... So I literally *JUST* got VNC up and running as I am writing this post. I'm actually just on my way out the door to go home for the weekend hahah, so I'm sure alot of these issues can be fixed with minor tweaks. I'm also sure there are more issues out there. I just wanted to get this posted up though so that people can start playing with it.
- VNC Resolution and colors are set incorrectly. This I believe is just an issue with the default configuration file for VNC. I believe the color quality setting just needs to be raised and the resolution adjusted to the native resolution of the thrive.
- Has to be install to Main memory: This is because the script that sets all of the permissions is hard coded with /sdcard/ubuntu as the location for the installation. /sdcard/ isn't actually the sdcard on the thrive. It's internal memory. I'm certain that a quick edit of the sh script will fix this. Is it really a good idea to run ubuntu off a slow, and limited write capacity sdcard?
All of the above issues i'll look at tonight when I get home! Happy hacking guys!

You download a VNC Client for Android, and connect to your Ubuntu Instance via that. VNC should support whatever on screen keyboard you have installed.
Ok, so it's not really a "Ubuntu" I can walk around with... not yet anyway.

Well to an extent it is. You can use VNC right from the Thrive to connect to Ubuntu. Ubuntu would still be running locally on the thrive as well. You can also use a terminal emulator to ssh to ubuntu as well.
In all Honesty, I only posted this to show that the thrive does indeed have the power to run Ubuntu. The version of Ubuntu it runs is the ARM version; which doesn't have many working applications for it yet.

The C4droid C++ compiler currently has issues with compiling code using C++. Using the C compiler works fine for C but the C++ side has problems.
If you have purchased and used the app with the GCC for C4droid plugin, you'll see that you constantly get Permission Denied errors. Doing things like chmod 777, 755, etc didn't work for me and probably won't work for you.
I've chatted back and forth with the creator of this app and we've (he) found a workaround. This workaround will make it so it is compiling through your MicroSD rather than the internal memory.
Pre-requisites: You must have BusyBox, SuperUser, C4droid, GCC for C4droid, and a Terminal Emulator installed. You also need a rooted device.
1. Open Terminal emulator and type "su" and press enter. A superuser screen will pop up and you need to click allow.
2. Type the following lines into the terminal (one by one):
cd /Removable/MicroSD/
mkdir Android
mkdir Android/data
cp -r /sdcard/Android/data/com.n0n3m4.droidc/ /Removable/MicroSD/Android/data/
su
mount -o remount,rw,exec -t vfat /dev/block/vold/179:9 /Removable/MicroSD
/system/xbin/mount -o bind /Removable/MicroSD/Android/data/com.n0n3m4.droidc/ /sdcard/Android/data/com.n0n3m4.droidc/
3. Change the default compiler in C4droid to G++ + bionic (Root required)
4. Done

hi, thx for your info, but for me (using galaxy tab 10.1 wifi) there is no such directory as /removable/microsd
i typed cd /sdcard/android/data but it didn't work. i'm using better terminal emulator pro, if it's important.
I'd installed both g++ plugin and c4droid to my acer iconia tab a500.
I followed the step by step instruction provided above besides that replacing "/removable/MicroSD/" to "/mnt/external_sd/" which is the directory linked to my microsd.
But still the problem persists,
"/sdcard/android/data/com.n0n3m4.droidc/files/gcc/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-g++" ... Permission denied.
Any help out there?
I'm lazy, I use a debian chroot.
You may need to change the permissions on the file(s), or the path.

It's a friggin Christmas Miracle! Can't tell you how much time I've wasted working this out, and it all boils down to the sh and run scripts.
So, without further ado, here goes.
!!Make sure you're rooted!!
!!The quotes just tell you what to type. Don't type them!!
1.
Download one of the three builds on the website listed above (or build your own, it should work fine). Extract it from tar.bz2, they should all extract to a linux file, this includes the necessary scripts. Put it on the sd-card on your phone.
2.
Download the new scripts that (Nerd) listed found here: http://ohm.nerd65536.com/android-lin...latest.tar.bz2
And extract them. You'll have another file that says linux. Open it, take the three files inside (install.sh, root-scripts & scripts) and paste them in the linux folder you moved to your sd-card. They will overwrite the ones currently there. These scripts work for sgs4g, the originals did not.
3.
Install the latest BusyBox in both xbin and .bin if it's not already installed (must be rooted), Latest is 1.19.3. Make sure Outside Sources and USB debugging are both enabled in your settings menu. Open your Superuser App and update binaries.
4.
Download a terminal client, like Better Terminal Emulator or Android Terminal Emulator. I use the first. The terminal needs to run the commands as root, especially the linux vnc command as it didn't want to work for me no matter if I started by typing su. Better Terminal Emulator has a check box to always start in root.
5.
Open up your terminal emulator and type su if you are not rooted there. Then change directory to the linux file on the sd-card. run the sh file there.
Like this:
"su"
"cd /sdcard/linux"
"sh install.sh"
If it works, the resulting dialog in terminal won't throw up any problems.
6.
Get back to / on sd by typing in terminal:
"cd /"
You should then have a: / # prompt, which means you are still rooted.
Enter:
"linux"
Which should result in a: [email protected]:/#
This means Linux is running. Congratulations. It should continue to run unless you shut down your phone.
7.
Download a VNC client, like Android VNC Viewer (free) or Remote VNC Pro, which I use. Add a new entry in it, with the following settings:
Host: localhost
Port: 5901
Password: cheesecake
Color: 24-bit
Name: Linux
When that's done save if you can or back out if you can't, and go back to your terminal emulator.
8.
It should still say: [email protected]:/#
If it doesn't, fine, if it does, just go back to root prompt by typing:
"exit"
Which should get you: / #. Then type:
"linux vnc"
Which should run itself and mount the chroot environment. It should tell you your new 'X' desktop is localhost:1, and have a: / # prompt again.
It might also ask you for a password, if so then put whatever password you'll remember in that's longer than 6 characters and verify it. This only happens once.
9.
Go back to your VNC client and if you entered a password in step 8. then edit your listing to your password instead of cheesecake, if not then don't.
Click on the Linux link and BAM! (shameless Emerilism), you're at your Linux desktop which should be running a iceWM desktop interface, which is fast. The LXDE desktop is nicer and if you want that then go into you're terminal and get into the linux shell by typing:
"linux"
And then switch to LXDE by typing:
"apt-get autoremove icewm- lxde+"
Which will run through the removal/ installation, and verify you want to download the <400mb files. Type:
"y"
And give it time to finish. When finished, just go back to your VNC client and hit Linux again, and you will have a nice looking functional desktop, with a cpu load graph on the bottom. I tried using Gnome desktop and Unity 2d, but both of these would install and not fully run with all options. They are heavier and slower, but cool non-the-less. Let me know if anyone has luck with these on Android.
Notes-
You only have to type "linux vnc" once in terminal to start linux every time you boot your phone. Otherwise, just open your VNC client and click on Linux to use it. Easy!
You will want to update and upgrade your linux after install, do so by typing in terminal:
"apt-get update"
"apt-get upgrade"
Also, you might run across a problem if you try to add-apt-repository, that's because that python command is not present. To use it, enable by typing:
"apt-get install python-software-properties"
Also of note, the downloadable linux builds are sized to about 2.15gig on your sd, which is big enough for most. There is a way to resize them which I tried but it gave me trouble in loading. I will try again and see if I can get it to work.
Here's the link from Dangermouse:

Thanks to Nerd65536 for the info, write-up and files. He fixed my problem.
You might want to put quote or code tags around all the commands to make them easier to see and read, but good guide! I'll try it out soon since I haven't gotten any linux build to run on my phone in a good while.
Thanks for the post!
I wrote the post noob-style to make it easy for beginners to follow, as I've had to search and test forever to find information that works.
Let me know if you have any problems, I'd be happy to assist. Don't expect you'll have any issues with your knowledge of the os. It works pretty well on the Android system, fun to use.
wasn't this posted ages ago?
No, it's a bleed over from a question post I made under Q&A a week or so ago. I threaded this because I had such a hard time finding a thread with working steps for the Galaxy S under google search. There's not that much new from this post http://www.nerd65536.com/2011/07/in...showComment=1323566336074#c553594301247543088 by Nerd65536 (which took me forever to find and was the only one that worked). Other than that, just a few of my own thoughts and hints on the process.

Ok, a little more use of Linux builds on my phone and I'm starting to understand why it does or does not work.
Certain kernel builds seem to work well, others not at all. Most of the kernel's I've tried have been problematic, and trying to install the .sh file will fail.
When you install your new kernel (or on your existing one) you need to open your Superuser app which should be there if your phone is rooted. There is a button to update binaries, and they need to be updated. Some builds don't seem to let this work easily and give failure notifications.
Make sure Outside Sources is enabled and USB debugging is too, both are in the settings menu.
Use BusyBox installer to install in both the .bin and .xbin directories, this will not cause any conflicts (or hasn't yet . If this gives you an error, and it will if Superuser did, then either usb debugging has not been selected or the kernel is not playing nice.
Ok, so this kernel by RaverX3X will work for linux, I'm on it now:
