I've gotten a few questions about how to run apps on the Nexus Q, so I figured I'd make some sort of post giving instructions, at least basic ones.
1. Enable USB debugging on the Q. This is done by running the nexus Q app on another device, pairing with the Q, and then going to advanced and enabling USB debugging.
2. Installing apps is done by running
Code:
adb install path/to/app.apk
in the command line on a computer.
3. launching apps is done in command line by running
Code:
adb shell
, then typing
Code:
am start package.name/.Activity name
. For example, opening settings is done with
Code:
am start com.android.settings/.Settings
once in adb shell. Netflix is
Code:
am start com.netflix.mediaclient/.UIWebViewActivity
, and Angry Birds is
Code:
am start com.rovio.angrybirds/com.rovio.ka3d.App
. The package/activity names can be determined by running the app on another android device, plugging it into a computer, and running the monitor tool in terminal and looking at the hierarchy viewer.
4. XY coordinates for touch/drag events can be given to the device by using the monkeyrunner tool (documentation can be found on the android developers website). For a brief overview:
start monkeyrunner (located in android-sdk/tools/)
Code:
from com.android.monkeyrunner import MonkeyRunner, MonkeyDevice
device = MonkeyRunner.waitForConnection()
device.touch(x, y, MonkeyDevice.DOWN_AND_UP)
device.drag((startX,startY), (endX, endY), 1, 10)
device.press('KEYCODE_BACK', MonkeyDevice.DOWN_AND_UP)
I realize this isn't very complete, but I'll add some stuff to it as I play more.
Thank you for posting this, this clears up a couple of my questions
This might be handy : link
So theres no UI for the apps? You have to memories each apps command string?
That sucks. lol Is there any chance of a UI in development or a launcher for the apps?
That seems excessively complicated to run for example angry birds with quite an extensive com string.
Agreed, it does really suck to have to use console commands.
Well...lets just say I'm working on something. It may take a few days before I know whether it'll actually work, but I'll let you know.
Why not install the VNC application for droid
in order to run the VNC server on your nexus Q and then use your tablet or other touch enabled android/computer/device to control the Q interface
http://code.google.com/p/android-vnc-server/
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.onaips.vnc&hl=en
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5zY2h1bWkudm5jcyJd
this is just an idea considering you have root the app shouldnt be hard to set a call to on some kind of init.d script path
i think it would serve well for navigation
it's basically identical internals to the galaxy nexus, with some extra hardware outputs, so you can port over a custom rom for galaxy nexus and use that as the UI for now

What your saying does make sense, so I'm willing to give it a try this weekend. I will port over the same ROM I have on my VZW Galaxy Nexus (Stock Jellybean 4.1 from Rootz Wiki). In order to do so I will need just a little bit of help... My Q is already rooted, so you can just provide me with a walk thru outlining how to push/port the ROM over. Do I have to hook it to the pc again and start the bootloader with adb or what exactly? Thanks for the help in advance.
You can install droidmote server on nexus q and control it with your android phone.
with droidmote server you simulate a mouse a keyboard a multitouch touchpad etc. etc.
you can play, in remote,also with games that support only the touch screen

Sorry guys this no longer works...
Ubuntu removed alot of the files needed to run it on a phone off of their website which is why you are getting the errors on the script to try and install it.
Recapped:
Here's what I mean the website the script is going to to get the files no longer exists...
Heres an example to see for yourself: http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/pool/universe/t/tightvnc/tightvncserver_1.3.9-4_armel.deb
I will try and find a new link to plug in but for now it DOES NOT WORK!
Thank you for your patience on the thread,

-Disclaimer-
This has been tested on my phone and runs perfectly fine, I am not responsible for you breaking, bricking, or dropping your phone on the floor and causing the USB cable to fall out and blow up your device.
Pre Requirements:
A rooted HTC EVO 3D or Sensation 4G
A S-off'd HTC EVO 3D or Sensation 4G
netarchy's kernel (Silverneedle Test5)
Android SDK
The USB drivers for your phone. (x32) (x64)
A microSD Card
2.3 GB Free of space on your microSD card
Know how to read to directions
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The intense Procedure:
1. Download this version of Ubuntu. [Download #1] [Download #2]
2. Unzip the Ubuntu folder to your desktop and if you want, delete the compressed one you downloaded.
3. On your phone go to Settings > Applications > Development and turn on USB debugging.
4. Plug in your USB cable (from your computer to your phone) and mount your (mirco)SD card.
5. Move or copy over the unzipped / normal Ubuntu folder. This will take a long time unless you have a class10 microSD card.
6. After moving / copying that file over, tell your phone to unmount the (micro)SD card / Set the phone to Charge Only mode.
7. Now on your computer, go to where you have Android SDK installed. (Example on my computer: E:\Program Files (X86)\Android\android-sdk )
8. When in the main SDK folder, hold shift and right click a blank area and then click on "open command window here". It should of opened the command line window with the directory of your SDK already put in. If not type cd "C:\Your directory or location of your SDK"
9. Now type "cd platform-tools"
9.5. (Optional) "type adb devices" and check if the computer recognizes your phone. If not you need to reinstall your drivers from the download link above in the requirements.
10. Type "adb shell"
11. Type "su" so we have superuser permissions
12. Type "cd /sdcard" so the directory is changed to the (micro)SD card
13. Type "cd ubuntu" so the directory is changed to the Ubuntu File
14. Type "sh ubuntu.sh" so we can install Ubuntu
15. Type "bootubuntu" to start up Ubuntu. Next time you enter Ubuntu, you just need to type "bootubuntu" from your /sdcard/ubuntu directory, there is no need to run ubuntu.sh again.
16. If you got "[email protected]" in the command line, you have sucessfully installed Ubuntu. If not make sure you installed netarchy's kernel. If it still does not install correctly please try a different ROM, I have only tested this on SteelROM 1.1. *AFTER INSTALLING ANY ROM, YOU NEED TO REINTALL THE KERNEL.*
17. Now type "apt-get update" to update Ubuntu to the latest version. Then "apt-get upgrade" to apply the update.
18. Type "apt-get install tightvncserver" to install the vncserver. (Your telling your phone to read off it self pretty much.)
19. Type "export USER=root" To make yourself a user / the user
20. Type "vncserver -geometry 1024×800" to set the screen resolution you want to display on your phone. Remember you can always zoom in by pinching, so you don't need to make this that much smaller. You should also get prompted to set a password, do so. You will need to remember this password to log in.
21. Download the AndroidVNC Viewer off the Market here.
22. Open the viewer, and put in a nickname, your PASSWORD FROM ABOVE, and for the IP Address put: 127.0.0.1 for the port put 5901. THEN SCROLL DOWN and make the COLOR FORMAT 24-bit colors (4bpp).
And finally, hit Connect to launch Ubuntu on your phone!
For Mac users:
Finder -> Applications -> Utilities (folder) -> Terminal
When you cd to where your adb is located, cd is lowercase as are most all unix commands.
If you're unsure where to go, get to adb in your Finder, right-click, get info, the pop-up will show you the path. Note in unix that the folders (subdirectories) are separated by / and not by \ like in Windows.
Once you're there, the only trick you need to know is to tell unix that adb is located where you are, so you change the adb shell command like this:
./adb shell
That's about it, all other instructions once you're inside the phone shell are the same.
OBTW - after the unzip of the initial file from the OP, just drag and drop the whole ubuntu folder to your NO NAME drive (normal sd card formatting doesn't get a name at the factory, so by now you know that your sd card mounts like that anyways I'd suppose - just put it here in case).

I posted a different script a few pages back that I think will help you guys. I modified it so we should have no trouble with apps in sd.. I finally got a bigger sdcard so I can test this stuff and this script works great. Please guys try this script. If you download it in phone it will change the name and add a bin on it I think, so rename it accordingly and make sure it gets into /system/bin with the right permissions (755 or rwxr-xr-x), then run it

FAQS
FAQS
Do I need to have everything in the android-sdk downloaded and installed?
No, you just need to have the base sdk.
When I tell the command prompt to adb devices, my phone does not show up!!
Make sure you have installed the proper drivers for your phone and for your correct operating system
I'm not getting "[email protected]" when I type / copy-&-paste "bootubuntu"
Well, this could be for a various amount of reasons, first make sure you have a rooted HTC EVO 3D/Sensation. And by root, I mean a full root, not just a temp root or S-off. If you still do not get "[email protected]", flash your device (or go though your data folder and delete all the ubuntu files, then delete the ubuntu file off of your sd card and clear your caches.), and retry the above steps. If the problem still persists, then please PM me with your exact problem.
I'm having issues within the VNC, and I get an error message when I hit "connect".
Make sure you typed your password correctly, the passwords are case sensitive. If you still cannot get in, make sure your IP Adress is set to "127.0.0.1" and your Port(s) are "5901".
The colors on my screen look all weird and disorientated, how do I fix this?
Close Ubuntu, and re-open the VNC application, then scroll down to "Color Format" and tap on "24-bit color (4 bpp)".
The on-screen keyboard does not work and I get a different letter or character for whatever character I type!
The on-screen keyboard will work now, if you install LXDE.
I'm not good with reading text! I need a video demonstration!
For a video head here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbunTRzEQCI
How do I close Ubuntu?
Two options here:
1.Logout of the server and go to your homescreen and push menu, then go to settings, then Applications, then Running Services and close any remaining open part of the server program. The service may re-open later, do not close it though. It won't use up a noticable amount of RAM, just enough to make sure the application opens quick again.
2. Logout of the server and use your favorite task killer to close the server process. The service may re-open later, do not close it though. It won't use up a noticable amount of RAM, just enough to make sure the application opens quick again.
FAQS should be in order chronologically (until the end of them).
I would like to give a huge thanks to EarlyMon, for helping out lost members. This thread would not be as peaceful if it were not for him.

The only way to get around it atm (at the moment) is to use a bluetooth keyboard.
Very sweet! I will test this tomorrow when I get home. It should work on my ROM as well
Nice....can't wait for the keyboard fix.
It should be noted that this is the current script, however, i am working on a cross platform java program that will do all of this for you
[NARS] is the Nook Automated Rooting System FOR MAC and LINUX
This program has been a WIP for myself for about a month, and I developed it so that people whom wanted to work with the adb development, and “bricking” of devices could quickly restore their devices to root. This program can also be used for a new user to, backup their programs, restore their programs, Root, Unroot, and Full restore.
Initializing ADB:
Download any app, and attempt to install it.
You can use this app if you need.
[*]Click on the Package Installer, and then a prompt will pop up asking if you want change the settings to allow 3rd party apps.
*DO NOT ENABLE 3RD PARTY IF YOU WISH TO ACCESS ADB*
I am working on a way to have it enabled by default.
[*]In the settings page you should see *2* USB Debugging modes.
*NOTE: if you disable automount, Debugging will maintain through unplugs
[*]Press them both and accept the prompt.
[*]PLUG IN YOUR DEVICE.
Note* You should see the Android Development icon on the bottom of the screen.
ADB will now be able to see your device. How ever you will need to restart the server before it sees it.
As it stands right now this scrip has 4 functions, and a video will be made for it tomorrow.
USE THIS SCRIPT AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!!!!!
Using the script:

Are there any tricks to getting an Ubuntu 11.10 system to show the nook tablet in the list of attached devices? On my laptop the list is empty. The laptop does see the nook, both the on-board flash and the SD memory. But NARS.sh doesn't find it.

do me a favor and go into the NARS directory and type
Code:
./adblinux devices
and tell me what the output is.
also make sure you have adb debuging setup. To do this read the post in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19653967&postcount=3 Enableing adb Connection (eab1) part 4 through 8
I lost track of when I'd had the debug settings enabled. Between all my windows boxes, which all loaded a generic driver before I could use the custom drivers, and getting the linux box set for android development, I lost track of the last setting on the nook - I forgot to "measure twice and cut once" - I didn't go back to make sure debug was still enabled.
The reminder about the debug was the key.
Thanks.
Did not work on a mac running Lion. My nook is never detected. Clear, detailed instructions that are self-contained in the first post would be appreciated.
Not sure if any prep work is needed or if your script really should be this easy.
Thanks
UPDATE: YOU MUST COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING STEPS BEFORE BEGINNING NARS.
Cut and pasted from another t-r-i-c-k's thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358051.
You must complete the following step before using NARS:
Code:
On the NOOK
Disconnect from USB
Factory restore & initial setup
Browse to this:
[url]http://goo.gl/vTNpJ[/url]
Click on notifications center, wait for the file to finish downloading.
Press on downloaded go_launcher_ex_v2.66.apk file
Select Complete action using package installer
It should say "install blocked"
Press settings
Tick unknown sources (press ok)
Pick Development
Tick USB debugging (press ok)
Tick the other USB debugging further down
Untick Automount
Back/Back
Connect the Nook to the MAC. On the nook you should see "USB debugging connected" in notifications center
Now follow the instructions in post #1 of this thread.
After you have run that script, reboot your nook tablet (you can turn it off all the way by pressing and holding for a few seconds the power button. Then turn the nook tablet back on).
You need to make sure that you install golauncherex, which I forgot to do. Just find the .apk that you downloaded (go_launcher_ex_v2.66.apk in your notifications center on the nook) and then make sure to install it. This will give you a new homescreen with all of your regular apps.

I just put in some changes on my domain so;
APK:http://nook1.adamoutler.com
tar.gz:http://nook2.adamoutler.com
This should make it substantially easier for us who are restoring frequently.. now to try this sucker out.
All of the lines like this:
Code:
read -p "Press any key to exit..."
should be
Code:
read -n1 -p "Press any key to exit..."
So that it takes a single key press instead of "Enter"

Nice job devs. This nook is open like a brothel on payday!
I bought this nice minicomputer - MK812 Mini PC Dual-Core Android Camera Mic BT 4.2.1 and I relied on the fact that since there is Android 4.2 installed, I can use switching users, but unfortunately this function is disabled. I need to get it to work.
Of course, I googled. This is what I've already tried:
http://www.pocketables.com/2013/03/how-to-enable-multiple-user-mode-on-cyanogenmod-10-1-and-some-other-android-4-2-2-roms.html
The problem is that this command pm get-max-users returns Unknown command get-max-users.
Furthermore, when I enter SetProp fw.max_users 8, it has no effect, even after a reboot. The command pm usernameyouwanthere create-user is also without effect.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2187934
App - 4.2 Multiple users feature enabler
This app can't be installed by Google Play (apparently MK812 is not a compatible device). Since I couldn't get APK anywhere to download, I downloaded the source code and compiled it and generated APK. Unfortunately, can't be installed either.
I studied the source code and found out that even if i was able to get it installed, it wouldn't have worked anyway, because this app runs similar commands (as those above) instead of the user.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fahrbot.apps.switchme
This could be a solution even for Android 4.0 and 4.1. It works, but switching takes too long, because it requires a reboot and this switching is not integrated into the system. So I do not want it.
Do you know of any other solution or anything what I could try?
I googled again, found this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34362377&postcount=8
But setting fw.max_users=8 in /system/build.prop haven't helped either.
Unfortunatelly they answer me, that MK812 mini pc does not support multiple user function. So I have to use SwitchMe Multiple Accounts

Edit: I see, can you and are you willing to get the source, modify it, build it and flash it? I'm going to have to enable it for my phone so when I figure out what needs modifying I'll let u know.
Im writing a Network Scanner currently in Python/Kivy for Android. I could do everything i wanted if i could execute a Python module called Scapy from the shell(Obviously this is a rooted app), but unfortunately its not possible. Atleast not with alot of work and when the App is finished i dont want my users to have to go through installing countless dependencies to get it working!
I've stumbled along a little unix program called Arp-Scan but i cant find a port for Android. I'm not sure how to port this to Android so i can execute it from a shell.
I have no experience with compiling and needless to say this is frustrating the hell out of me! . This one little stumbling block has been plaguing me for 2 weeks. The rest i will be able to do in pure Python, namely PortScanning and such.
The way the Android OS works is that an APK is unable to use raw sockets. But you are allowed to run a shell as root.
I have the option to use Nmap but if there was ever to be a paid version of my app i would have to buy a license and i simply cant afford it.
All i need is to execute a program from shell: like Arp-Scan to obtain an IP and MAC from the LAN.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Hello friends!
I have a Chinese BML One mini phone (I know it's crappy, but I had no choice), and I'm trying to start an android development with it.
I was aware that it might be hard to find any drivers for that phone, so I decided to use linux (opensuse 13.1) as a development machine (hopefully it requires no extra drivers).
The problem is that device seems to be invisible for the eclipse.
When I do in eclipse "run as - android application" - it says that there is no suitable device found and suggests to create a virtual one.
Usb debugging is on. Phone keyboard is unlocked.
The project is created to run on android 2.2. (The phone says that it is 4, but while digging here on the forum I found that it is really 2.3.5)
Is there any special way of connecting that phone to the PC? Hold secret combination of buttons maybe?
(As far as I know galaxy nexus for example is also invisible for eclipse when you connect it as a flash drive, so you have to connect it as camera.)
The problem is even worse as my laptop is too weak for the development on emulator, so that mobile was the only chance to start android development.
I would be grateful for any answers and links.
Thank you.
Hej hej! Please share any thoughts why it could be? Any suggestion of what to try? Does anyone experienced any device recognition problems with Chinese mobiles on any OS? Is there something special with connection MocorDroid to PC?
What would you try?
Please give me at least a direction to dig.
Thanks
The main issue is that it's not an official Android version and the fact that they modded it to read the wrong Android version there is almost nothing you can do. Mix in the fact that there IS no kernel source code there will not be much you can do at all with development for that device.
Hello, thank you for the answer. You inspired me to search in Chinese internet using google translate, and that is what I've found:
One need to find the vendor and device id using lsusb command
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 1782:5d04 Spreadtrum Communications Inc
These 1782:5d04 is actually a device and vendor id.
Then we need to write it to /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules file in that way:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb",ATTRS{idVendor}=="1782",ATTRS{idProduct}=="5d04",MODE="0666"
And also add "0x1782" without quotes to /home/XXX/.android/adb_usb.ini file.
If you don't have any of these files, create it. Note that 51-android.rules should have 644 permissions.
Than I googled for "0x1782" and found these two links, so I think that problem is not only chinese-fake-android-specific:
stackoverflow. com/questions/9210152/set-up-device-for-development-no-permissions
sudotask. wordpress.com/2013/10/30/how-to-adb-on-open-suse
It could be also problem with permissions like described here:
stackoverflow. com/questions/6484279/detecting-device-for-debugging-adb-does-not-work
So, now I able to use my mobile for Android development! Wait for more garbage in play market!
Thank you!
