Boot UBCD

Boot UBCD (Ultimate Boot CD) from your Android phone (T-Mobile G1)
Step 1:
Get a microSD or SDHC card that is at least 500Mb and install it in your G1. For newbies: the slot flips open just below the green call button, you’ll have to put the keyboard up to see it.
Step 2:
Get a USB cable and hook your G1 into your computer. Slide the notification pane down and select the item named ‘USB Connected’ then choose ‘Mount’ from the popup options.
Step 3:
Download and install UBCDfix2.exe which I have re-hosted on this blog here. If you don’t trust me, an alternate location is listed on the pendrivelinux.com post. Run the EXE and extract the files to a folder named UBCD on your desktop.
Step 4:
Download the most current UBCD image. Here’s a link. Move it into the root of the UBCD folder you created on your desktop and pout the UBCDfix2 files in.
Step 5:
From the UBCD folder on your desktop, click fixubcd2.bat and follow the onscreen instructions.
DONE! You should now be able to reboot into your thumb drive. Be sure your motherboard both supports booting from a USB device and has the priority for that set above the normal hard drive. On a newer Dell, you can hit F12 to directly choose what to boot off of. Not only can you still save data to your thumbdrive from your G1 like usual, but you can get to all the stuff on your G1 via the UBCD you boot off of too.

Of course, it supports USB mass storage. There is nothing new to see here, really.

Yup. the latest version of Ubuntu even includes a utility to do the dirty work for you. It can install to any USB media.

Developing Android on Windwos

Attached is what was my missing link to full Android development in Windows.
1. For Android Java or C++ cpde I use Win + Eclipse + Android SDK+NDK
2. For Android System.img editing and building Entire Android system I use the following:
Developemnt Overview and purpose of this utility
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
a. You do not need to install anything on your windows
machine, if you like you can just copy it to a USB drive and
run it from there.
b. You can use this to build an entire android system and images,
or just modify system.img if you like.
1. Download QEMU for Windows. (google for it Aprox 3Mb)
2. Download QEMU Debian Image. (google for it Arox 150Mb)
3. Run QEMU and use aptitude to download g++, make and other
Android build requirements as mentioned on the dev site.
4. Build Android system or just edit system.img.
By transfering files to/from host windows system....
This is where this Utility is used as ftp'ing from
QEMU to the host system will not work with a regular
ftp server.
To transfer files from QEMU to Host do the following:
Windows: Run Ftpd.exe
QEMU: $ pftp 10.0.2.2 and log in as ian
Now you can use ftp command to send and recieve files to/from
QEMU and Windows.
5. Transfer system.img or entire adriod build image to Device and
follow device flashing procedure.

[GUIDE][LOGCAT][4.2+] How to force enable adb

This is how I logcat on 4.3:
First off, you're going to need a WORKING android device running 4.2+
Now:
1. Plug the device into your PC
2. Go to Settings>Development and enable adb
3. When the dialogue comes up asking to trust the computer tap yes. If it doesn't appear run "adb devices" on your PC.
4. Get a root file explorer app
5. In the explorer, go to \data\misc\adb and copy adb_keys to your PC. (Copy adb_keys to your Sdcard, mount phone storage, then copy to PC.)
6. Download THIS and extract all files on your PC
7. Open up the extracted directory.
8. Place adb_keys in \data\misc\adb and then run the "Run_to_build_zip.bat" file.
9. Download THIS and flash in recovery on the device you're going to logcat.
10. Copy the zip that was just created on your PC to your sdcard and flash in recovery. (Zip will be named "adb_hack_step2_**.**.**@**_**.zip" )
Reboot, adb should now be enabled and work on the PC you used.

System Image Flasher (Requires Windows PC)

I made a program that allows you to flash system images more easily. It can also unlock your bootloader if it isn't already (doesn't work on all devices). It will walk you through all of the steps, all you have to do is plug your device into your computer and enable adb debugging. All you have to do is download the system image files and do what it tells you. Download from Google Drive
