I hate to sound ignorant, but I am fairly new to modifying my ROM. Any time I try to load a new one I get a cmd.exe window with the following message:
ERROR: GetConnectionType - An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.
error getting connectiontype
I have no idea. Hoping its something dreadfully easy that I am just oblivious too.
(Help!)
Not a big deal mate ... use the SD card method and it will solve this issue
Many thanks. I'll try to figure that out. =p (What exactly am I supposed to do? Total newbie here.)
Do a search on the subject over in the "Upgrading and modifying it"
forum.

Hey Folks,as u read: I am totally new to android.
But here are some facts about me I'll tell you just to say sorry for dumbp questions right at the beginning.
I have a good base of Linux knowlege and i also always was modding my phones. If it was my Motorola Razr v3i or my Rhodium Windows 6.5.
Most important: I REALLY dont want others to make MY work. Dont missunderstand me: Some People just dont have the ability to make that on their own and i think, they needed to be helped too, but not me. I want to learn it and i CAN learn it.
But sorry if I post a question in the wrong Forum or ask questions wich have been answerted pretty often. My Problem ist not to read or speak english: It is to imagine the words I need to use for google and stuff to find my answeres. So, some hints, tips or links to Howtos or stuff woud help me alot.
Burt here the bunde of my most important questions:
It all started with Adobe Flash. I guess my Pad has a arm6 or 7 CPU... it has 600mhz and i found a version for that here on xda- i installed it and its working so far for the adobe flv player and swf files but not as an plugin 4 the reguar browser or dolphin hd. any suggestions?
I also wanted to download teamspeak 3. it seems, there i have the same problem. it tells me, my device is incomatible at the market. So is there a way to get it anywhere else and my to recompile it and patch it to work?
next: i tried to root my device using androot and also z4root. it goes through the process without errors and everything seems to be fine but sshdroid tells me, root is disabled. the access to some locations of the phone still is denied and so i cant install nandroid for backups and before i will go on, i REALLY shoud install an backup solution, right folks?
Well- for the first, thats it. if i know that i guess, the rest is more easy to find out on myself as it is right noe.
Again: You dont need to make my work. sorry and thanks at once && greetings from ?good? ol' germany. Alex
well- one thing i also coud need some help... i was searching arround how 2 set my phone for data2ext4 ... but if i wont get running my phone rooted, i can forget about that, cant I? my card already hav an 4GB ext4 partition beside a 12GB FAT partition
ive installed cygwin but when i call ./menu the answer is
"scripts/check_binaries: line 22: clear: command not found"
Error: The application 'clear' is not installed. The kitchen
will not function properly without it. Refer to the
FAQ for the Android Kitchen at xda-developers.com for
assistance on installing the binary for 'clear'.
but on the terminal when i call Ctr+L it cleans the window.
am i doing something wrong ??
You just quoted the answer to your question! I thought I made the error messages easy enough to understand.
There is an answer to that same question in the FAQ and it has been asked several times in the thread if you search.
believe me, ive done some research before posting...
my big wall is that i dont understand dev or prog logical spelling and i am not english as you can see by my flag.
even on some threads that i read, user cant get a specific answer because helpers and users always point for faq .

This is not an excuse. You don't need to understand development/programming or even fluent English to install Cygwin. The specific answer to your exact question is in the Android Kitchen FAQ, it's not there so that somebody can get you off his back. The FAQ is there in simple English and its purpose to stop questions like this being asked a hundred times and cluttering up the forums and wasting my time answering the same thing over and over. I didn't spend all that time working on answering the questions for nothing. I'm trying to make the kitchen instructions and errors as descriptive and helpful as possible to the user yet somehow it makes it harder for you.
In brief, simply open up the readme file and make sure you followed the cygwin instructions correctly.
I'm sorry. did not want to undervalue your efforts and your work.
was having a bad day and did not pay real attention to your work.
is true, everything is the way it is explained, and followed to the letter, we have a kitchen completely furnished and ready to cook.
a true thank you for your work and hope to continue to have your news.

calm down ..is it so hard to answer...blabla iam developer
browse to https://github.com/dsixda/Android-Kitchen , download as zip and extract it to C:\cygwin\home\user (assume its install location)
working only on x64 version based PC only.
rename your extracted folder to kitchen
before make sure cpio,perl,ncurses,wget,zip,unzip,gcc has installed from cygwin setup.
cd kitchen
./menu
solution
if you downladed the packages from external source then while installing cygwin when a list of apps appears on top left of list search for default and keep clicking on it until install appears. it will solve the 'clear' problem. if still persists contact me. hit thanks if i helped.
I don't think any one looked at the dates of when this question was posted.
Cygwin not working
Hello guys. I have done what you have said in regards with the installation (installed correct 32bit java, click install instead of default, and downloaded half url package in cygwin installation wizard) however it keeps showing the Error: The application 'clear' is not installed .
Any other solutions you can think of?
Thanks!

For me it didn't work, i try everything and it stills gives me the same message of clear.
I just received a Compaq Mini notebook (10" screen) and want to get it set-up for some coding and the sdk.
I have downloaded the sdk, winrar--I need to know if there is anything else I will need to do smali/baksmali work (currently trying to use EasyAPKdissecter and it is not working. I'm thinking I need someone a bit more familiar with win32 to maybe shoot me a list of needed programs. Most of my previous work was done on a win86 set-up a while ago, and I am trying to get back in the game after trying to dust the rust off.
Any help is appreciated.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

im a noob at hacking etc. and i have a few questions if anyone is able to help at all that would be great. I just got a Dropad A8T. I was able to Root it with GINGERBREAK but am still having some problems with it. I have a very limited market, low hundreds, and im sure thats because its from China. I learned how to edit the files so it will use all apps but after each reboot it always goes back to the original file not the edited. there are a few firmware links ive found around the net but they are on a Chinese website and google translate only goes so far and i can't seem to find a good firmware when i actually find one.
so i guess my questions are, how can i fully open the market and keep it open, and where can i get a new firmware? sorry if these have been asked before i searched for them but didnt find anything helpful.
I am presently using 4.0.3 on my Dropad A8T.
It was written (modded?) by a Russian group.
<link sent in private message due to being a noob and being unable to post external links>:lol:
I do not speak Russian but you select the big red button on the right to download it.
The steps to install it can be found elsewhere. I wont give you them because I would hate to miss something and mess you up.
Here is the link of where I discovered a lot of info.
<link sent in private message due to being a noob and being unable to post external links> :lol:
I hope this helps.
