Have you seen Bash Guide for Beginners and Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide from tldp.org (google, I cannot post links yet)? I think they are excellent.
Cheers
Thanks mate for that !
How to get the tutorials:
Code:
git clone https://github.com/d0wngrade/d0.git
(This will download my entire 'd0' github repo, it's pretty empty right now.)
The tutorials are under the d0/Papers/xda_Bash/ directory.

Hi Where to type that code to download tutorials?
is it in android shell?

SOLVED.

Should have just copy/pasted the tutorials on the thread. A little misleading if you ask me...
Hi, I wrote a simple .sh file to batch install apps from sdcard.
What I did was I copied the same terminal commands to a inst.sh file and tried to execute the script from shell
using following commands
SU
sh /sdcard/inst.sh
Following is the code of my .sh file
pm install "sdcard/apps/Google_Maps_6_14_4.apk"
pm install "sdcard/apps/Quick Boot.apk"
Then I get an error "Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_INVALID_URI]"
I can run the command pm install "sdcard/apps/Quick Boot.apk" in terminal individually in terminal.

Wow, I hate to resurrect a year old thread but this literally my EXACT problem (and the first post I've seen referencing my specific circumstance). I too can use the pm install command just find from the terminal emulator, but the minute I try to execute it from a script, I get the infamous INVALID_URI failure. No one has any idea what this could be?
Hey, try putting a forward slash before "sdcard".

Yes, this project is dead. I removed the GitHub repo too, so...
Anyways what did you meaning by "scripting on Android"?
Writing and running bash ( or other) script files on android devices.

Hmmm? Well, go and try it?
I tried... at first i thought it should work. As the file system and all are similar
It worked till the 'startbt' but when i entered 'bt' it said segmentation fault
So anyone can tell me please what i have done wrong ( I know the wrong thing is its not meant for Optimus but anything other than that?? ) or tell me how to make it work
Thank you
PS --> My First post on XDA
Ohk looks like something is missing.
do following
reboot your phone do startbt as usual...
after that us
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14006091&postcount=15
this script copy script to any location and run it.
sh debug.sh
output will be in /data/local/debug_log.txt
just copy paste the whole file here.
tips you can push the debug.sh file using adb push.
and simmilarly pull the log out using adb pull.
once you are done then post the debug log that can help in diagnostics.

two things.
1) reboot your phone and do startbt and bt again.
post all output here.
2) also segmentation fault could be coz of the busybox chrooting failure.

hi guys, i have an optimus v just lying around, and today i decided to try and get ubuntu on it through chroot.
using this guide, i was able to get to the point where it would boot on the command line,
Code:
[email protected]:/#
instead of the normal "#"
but after that, i tried to get it to work in a GUI, but it doesn't work?
i tried
Code:
apt-get update
and it runs, but gives me a bunch of fails and errors...
so of course, without that installed, i can't get any of the servers or other stuff installed, meaning that i can't get the GUI working...
so did anyone get this to work?
(i'm starting to think that it's their problem...)
thanks guys
i'll try to get a photo to show...
OK... First picture shows it booting into Ubuntu
Second picture shows the fail when I try the apt-get update command

what version of ubuntu? nvm, I see your screenshot says karmic, which should work.
more recent versions don't support armv6, so apt-get fails to download any unsupported package.
there's a thread in the optimus v dev section on installing debian.
squeeze and even sid run great on the OV for a 600MHz device with a tiny screen and no keyboard
try checking your /etc/apt/sources.list and make sure it's correct. It looks wrong to me, but I only use ubuntu for my DTV usb stick on my pc. I'm more a debian user myself.
edit again:
you can manually download .deb files and install them from the chroot command line with
dpkg -i filename.deb
just make sure they're for armel architecture; however, with ubuntu being too picky about the processor type, not all armel ubuntu packages will work. If you search google for ubuntu karmic armel whateverthehey.deb you should get stuff that will work. The main problem with manual installs is getting all the dependency .deb's, apt-get is really handy for that step.

ok, that sources.list entry in the screenshot looks REALLY wrong.
there is a stock version of the sources.list contents posted here

alright thanks... not sure if i get you completely...
i tried it on my actual phone (Mytouch 4G) and on a dell streak 7, both ARM7 CPUs and no luck on neither. i even turned off wifi on my MT4G and tried to download the packages through my mobile data, still no work...
so how would i go about getting the sources list on there..?
and where can i find the .deb files to install then manually?
thankss
go to the link I posted that says "here" and copy/paste the contents of that post into a plain text file named "sources.list"
put it in your ubuntu image (or partition, whatever it is) in /etc/apt/
as far as where to get .debs, google for what program you want to install, make sure to include "ubuntu karmic armel" in the search.
since you're using armv7, you can upgrade the ubuntu release without problems for those devices, the OV will have to stay with karmic I think.
your issue right now is that apt is trying to download from somewhere other than the default repositories, and it can't find where it's looking for.

hm... ok... so here's the contents of the .zip i downloaded to get ubuntu running from here
where do i put it..?
you'll have to mount ubuntu.img as a loop device and put it in that directory's etc/apt/ folder.
probably can copy it in once running on-device, you'll have to figure out where in your filesysyem the img is mounted.
i'm not familiar with the method you're using so I can't be more specific, sorry.
alright guys FINALLY GOT IT!!
you have to replace the original server in
Code:
data/local/ubuntu/etc/apt/sources.list
with this:
Code:
http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/
and then it should work!

All credits go to Scrosler, Nils, MrSmith, and everyone else. I took the Linux version of this tool and modified it to work on Mac OSX. The Linux version did not work for me, so I decided to fix up a Mac version and upload. It also has a special WiFi Tether install script I whipped up.
INSTALL THE MAC OSX ANDROID SDK BEFORE USING THIS!
Here are some links to get you started with the SDK.
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
http://www.talkandroid.com/guides/de.../#.TuaS3lxjgSM
So now that you have the SDK installed...
1) Unzip Cleantool_Mac.zip
2) Open a command window, change directory into your Cleantool_Mac directory
3) Run ./cleantool.sh
Have fun
Cool! Good Job!

cant seem to get the command screen to accept my commands. Pretty much a nube when it comes to command screens and code, but if anyone could help lead me in the right direction, i'd appreciate it. I already have sdk installed and the cleantool zip unzipped. Just not sure where to go from here, as everything i've tried on the command screen has come back permission denied, or no such directory. Thanks in advance...

1. In the Terminal app ( /Applications/Utilities )
type: cd (path to Cleantool_Mac folder - Easiest way to do this is to open a Finder window next to the Terminal window, navigate to the Clean folder in the Finder window and then drag the folder into the Terminal window. Make sure it has a space between the cd and the path.)
Example: cd /Users/username/Desktop/Clean_Mac
Hit Return or Enter
2. At the next prompt: Type: ./cleantool.sh
3. Select the Temp Root option then let it do it's thang and then select the Exit option.
Hope that helps.
Ok, so I have been using linux since long and I managed to write many scripts for my personal management, using crontabs for auto-execute etc. I also played with rc.local in linux. Fortunately It was all easy to find the relevant info whenever I want. But not with Android. I have been searching but no exact solution so far.
I want to know how to auto-execute script on start up? I have put script in /system/etc/init.d changed its permission to 755. Made chown to root, but Fail.
Also tried to use "Script Manager" but that force closes everytime. I switched to Cm7.2 Sedan yesterday and same case with this ROM too. (So I don't think Its a ROM related). This the same ROM Turbo-boost or other scripts works fine.. What is it that I'm missing here?
Afaik userinit script at /data/local/userinit.d

Since you're saying that other scripts get properly executed, than it must be your custom script itself, which poses some problems here? Btw, nobody is right in your head or is a visionary and able to give you some help, if you don't give some bits of code to tell, what might be basically wrong with it. ...
Just jump over to slaid's scripting threads. There are some hints and tips how to log and debug initd scripts. Or you can just strip from g_BonE's script the debugging code and apply it to your own script.
Happy scripting! ...

For the last two days I have been trying this Ive been getting this error... EVERYTIME! I cant see that I am doing anything wrong in cmd. No clue what to do.
No luck with moonshine either
Also, installed Ubuntu, ran distiller... Nothing. It tells me to "run distiller again and READ" BTW, all radios were off when this happened
I'm not an expert by any means. But when you downloaded adb, did you download the sdk for android? If so, go to sdk manager and make sure you have all the options under tools installed. Secondly, did you rename it to revone.2.0? I used revone.DNA, and while it took me 24+ hours, and 100s of tries, I finally got it to go through. Just to confirm, so far you have pushed adb revone to the device via the adb push revone.2.0 /data/local/tmp, then adb shell, cd /data/local/tmp, chmod 755 revone.2.0? I have found that some people have gotten success from removing -P from the command.
---------- Post added at 06:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:38 AM ----------
It may work easier if you move adb to a folder in C: and title the folder something like adb_android, and move the revone file in there as well. From there, you can go to the search bar, enter cmd.exe and it will bring you in directly at C:\ adb_android.
Why don't you post this as a reply to the revone thread? We don't need a new thread every single time someone runs into an issue s-offing their phone...
So Im not entirely sure how to open the sdk manager. I unzipped the adb folder (it was the ADT package), renamed it DNA and placed it under my C:\ drive. Also, I had downloaded the updated revone (revone-0.2) and just removed the dash and have tried removing and adding the -P with identical results.. I have also done many factory resets and still the same problem. From what it seems like, my problem would be with the sdk manager?

they released an updated zip... maybe try that. mine worked first time this morning no problems
i also cannot post a reply in the regular revone section.
when i download revone-0.2.1 it is not a .zip file...its just a file that cmd wont recognize when i try to push it to the device, it says its not a recognizable file. when i download revone, do i need to move the file to the same directory as adb and fastboot or what?
yes it needs to be in same folder as adb and fastboot

nopes...
one last question (which probably should've been my first)...does the DNA already have to be unlocked and/or rooted to use revone? i thought i read that it needed to have an unlocked bootloader to use this.
Got it! Although revone did not work for me at all! I tried to install ubuntu but failed due to windows 8 issue. Downloaded MintLinux 64 bit, used LinuxLive USB Creator to put my .iso on thumb drive, and boot with usb hard disk. In Mint download the 32-bit libraries, download moonshine and run. Done! No adb needed in mintlinux, reboot pc without usb drive if you didnt want to install mint. worked flawlessly.
