Ok guys heres the deal. After tons of help from developers on here and RootzWiki Ive gotten pretty good with my fassy. I can take it from 'Brick" to ICS in like 12 min..lol.Anyway I thought I would venture off to the exciting world of Linux for a little theme fun....i know its very hard. thats why im going very slow. lol. Hit my first problem....
Ok..I am running unbutu 11.11 on virtualbox on my windows 7 64 bit system. So i have successfully installed and set up java. I have successfully set up and installed SDK. I Have successfully installed eclipse and updated to latest. So my problem is when in CMD when i list my adb devices.....blank. Do i need to install a driver on this platform like on my windows plat? I couldnt find anything on linux drivers.
Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated.

if you have a 64bit computer (assuming win7 64bit or vista 64bit installed) then you must install the 64bit version of java as well.
Open up 64bit intern explorer, head to java's website, and look through stuff to find the 64bit download.
I'll try it anything else that comes to mind is appreciated thank you broseph

I was getting prepped to get my unlock code and was finding out how to install Android sdk and adb on this site:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html
Went to System Requirements and for Windows it only lists XP And 7.
Would that be only if you're going to actually write something for Android? Atm the only windows computer I have up and running is my Vista laptop. I suppose I could try pulling out my old XP desktop system but I don't think it can even use my new monitors. I do have a nice Mac desktop running Snow Leopard but I prefer to do my hobby stuff on Windows as I'm much more comfortable with tinkering on that. I'm much more mystified by OS X than Windows.
I'm running 64-bit Vista and had no problem with ADB. The .zip I got was "android-sdk_r16-windows" and had a flawless unlock/ root process.
That said, I did have to do some more advanced settings within Windows. If you have any troubles let me know and I'll hunt down the ADB tutorial that I followed.
I've been using it on a 32 bit vista. Works fine

I had to do a system recovery on my laptop because of sound issues. Now when i try to install android sdk its telling me that that java jdk is not found. Ive installed jdk, uninstalled, reinstalled, etc. But its still telling me its not found and will not let me install sdk. Any ideas on what i could do to fix this.
Check to make sure the path to the Java is found. If not, add the path to it to your systems path default, OR, use a script which you run first, that sets it for you.
One of many articles on the net on ways you can do this...

Also make sure you are installing the right version... 64bit vs 32bit etc...
Thanks for the help. Got it straightened up. I have windows 7 64 bit so i was using jdk 64 no problem. After i did the system recovery 64 bit jdk wouldnt work i had to run 32 bit. Strange, but at least its working now.
I've been wanting to start building from source so I could actually try to contribute some development time to a rom.
I've seen some of the build from source threads and even tried to use the wiki from one ROM's page. but the latest version of Ubuntu doesn't want to even get the Android SDK installed let alone get the latest code. So I was thinking that I would try to get this up and running on one of my windows boxes and was wondering if anyone else is building from a Windows machine.
If so is there a good resource or tutorial for getting started.
Don't think you can build with windows or it'll be hard to set up. Are you in Ubuntu 11.10?
Sdk should install fine though it isn't necessary to build. Follow Google's initializing build environment guide or cyanogen mods wiki guides.

I pulled down the latest Ubuntu build through Wubi (easy dual boot and removal since I was putting it on my wife's laptop).
Doing that since I haven't found a way to get a VM to recognize my phone when it's connected. I'll look up both of those guides and try them... thanks.
The Google guide has instructions to allow computer to detect and also put adb in bash.
Would not rec wubi for anything other then temporary which you seem to be doing. Just make an actual partition for Linux later, else you will run outta space.

ok, so on two installs of Ubuntu 10.11 the guide from setting up the Android build environment isn't going according to plan... so i'm wondering what version of Linux are you guys using to build?
Hey guys,
I need some help. I downloaded Ubuntu 11.10 because I heard 12.04 is not as good and I need some help with the installation. I want to keep Windows 7 on my PC as well as boot Ubuntu.
So I just need to figure out how to set it up so it gives me a prompt as to which OS I want to boot...Virtualize simply. haha
Also I am not very familiar with Linux' file system so I also may need some assistance in installing the SDK, JDK, ect.
I thought you said you were a dev over in the Epic sub forums. If you were a dev, Linux and bootloader installs should be second nature.

You can use the wubi installer that should be on the ubuntu DVD ISO that you downloaded.

The Ubuntu installer should handle all that. Since you already have windows you just need to shrink the windows partition to make room for Ubuntu and install Ubuntu to the free space. Once installed Ubuntu uses the grub bootloader which will give you the option of which system to boot into everytime you start up the computer.
As far as commands and installing stuff goes you may as well start reading up on it. You'll need to know how to use the Terminal to develop in Linux. Its not complicated once you learn common commands, etc. Also, I recommend using Gnome classic or kde as your desktop environment if you want something that looks similar to Windows. I'm a KDE person myself.

1º Windows
2º Ubuntu!
I'm building on12.04 with zero problems...just my $0.02. And like the other's said just install Ubuntu takes care of all that stuff.
Oh and ALWAYS create a backup before you start installing new OS's!
I wanna dual boot though and I prefer Ubuntu 11.10 lol

When I get on a computer I'll write up how I got my laptop to dual boot Windows and Ubuntu. I've actually got it triple booting Mac OSX as well.

to setup a dual boot system, u only need a free partition to install linux. a very basic linux installation u have to create root partition and swap partition. u can find installation guide online, its not that hard to setup a dual boot between linux and windows.
Okay cool. Because id like to get into Rom development,etc so I need Ubuntu or Mac OS X. Not too sure which ones better though. I assume Ubuntu is because its Linux and that's Android runs on
