help for a script - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi all
i have an galaxy SIII
i am using script manager.
i want to write a script and i have 2 questions
- how to write a script who open an url with the web browser
- is there an function to send a ping to see if an local adress avalaible (192.168.1.X) if not avalaible is there an return error ?
(sorry to seem stupid but i am coming from windows and i am a bit lost for the moment )
thank u for giving me a your time

no suggestion ?
or advise

Google something like "android open browser from shell". You can do it using intents.
Also:
Code:
ping --help

this work in an script u put
am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -n com.android.browser/.BrowserActivity http://www.google.fr

for chrome i find this
am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -n com.android.chrome/.Main -d http://xxxxxxxx
but i not find for opera if someone have it

finally
opera =
am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -n com.opera.browser/com.opera.Opera -d http://www.google.xxxx
hope this help someone

lol now i really need help coz i found nothing
i want to know which ip is reachable from 192.168.1.(1 to 9)
in a script to automate that and give me wish is reachable for use it in a command to browser.
(i know ping from terminal emulator but it's not what i am looking for)
forgive my english i hope you understand what i want ant hope too u help me with this

That's easy, check:
Code:
for var in {1..9}
do
echo "Looking for 192.168.1.$var..." #optional... jejeje
if ping 192.168.1.$var -c 1 > /dev/null
then
#Reachable, put here your command
else
#Unreachable, you can show an error here
fi
done

but ping command is not reconized by script manager i can only do it with terminal emulator ....

Really? I didn't know that (weird, BTW). Check if you need to use another command with Script Manager, or if you need to add something.
I dunno another way to achieve your goal... only using ping

lol i have a headeach with this and find nothing

finally i have possibility to run ping you must just in option of script manager chek "override $PATH"
after 2 or 3 aspirin this work for me
#!/system/bin/sh
for i in $(seq 2 10);
do
host="192.168.1.$i"
ping -c 1 -W 1 $host > /dev/null &&
am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -n com.android.browser/.BrowserActivity http://$host ;
done
i dont know why i have error with else and if with android shell ????
i thank u again for your help and hope the masters here help us a bit to understand, it's difficult coz there are differences with simple linux and this for french using windows :laugh:

Try if this help.

i have this kind of probleme http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1045006
but i am usin the script manager editor on my phone !!!!!
i have not Windows EOL formatting

please if u are guru of busybox your help is needed to use if else and fi in a script.
must i download another version of busybox or add a command ????
i am fully rooted the path in script manager is good
edit = after trying and googleing
after if you must put [[your code without space before and after]] and after then (yourcode) :laugh:
hope i find the rest...

Are you sure? Because if you have created the script in windows, you have that EOL formatting (whatever that means :silly. Try this:
Open Terminal Emulator, and type
Code:
echo "hello there" > /sdcard/newScript.sh
This will create a new and clean script in your SD Card.
Then, go to Script Manager, and edit that script. You can start deleting the text ("hello there") and adding this:
Code:
testvar=1
if [ "$testvar" = "1" ] ; then
echo "All is right"
fi
Ok, run the script. If you can see the text "All is right", that's it, problem solved

you save my last neuron
thanks
edit =
my fault is i create a text file under windows (easier and can copy and past easily) after i put the file on my phone and copy past the code in a new script.
i not think that when i just copy past i past the EOL formatting ( i dont know what is that but its a bad thing )
that's mean i must abandon windows and migrate totally to linux
anyway that make me crazy and i am happy to sort it.
you are very helpfull many thanks again
new edit = i understand now why they say notepad++ is necessary

[MOD] Change WiFi hostname - for custom ROMs (Sept 23)

This is useful for identifying phones on the local networks by looking at DHCP lease tables in the routers. It doesn't make your phone appear on Windows networks, since the phone needs to broadcast NetBIOS name for that. If you want your phone to show up on Windows networks (and share files) - you need Samba server, and JimmyChingala is working on one.
ROM developers can insert the option to customize hostname using the way described below in their Spare Parts options. Feel free to do so.
[SOLUTION]
The following shell command does the job of changing WiFi hostname:
echo YOURHOSTNAME > /proc/sys/kernel/hostname
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
For the change to stay, it should be executed on each boot. And here the things start being more problematic.
For custom ROMs:
Most, if not all, custom ROMs include some user init shell script that will be executed on boot, making the solution easy.
Enter the following line in the Terminal / ADB shell:
echo "echo YOURHOSTNAME > /proc/sys/kernel/hostname" >> the_path_and_name_of_userinit_script.sh
chmod 777 the_path_and_name_of_userinit_script.sh
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Several examples of custom ROMs and their userinit scripts:
Suggested - will work for most ROMs (creates another file in directory of autoexecuted scripts): /etc/init.d/88hostnameinit
Additional possibility for Enomther's ROM: /data/local/userinit.sh
Additional possibility for CyanogenMOD: /sd-ext/userinit.sh
For stock ROMs:
There is no autorun script for stock ROMs, so they have to be added through modifying boot.img. It's a complicated procedure, and even though guides exist for it - I suggest not to mess with it only because of the hostname. The easiest solution would be to create a script file with the line above using Gscript or other scripting solutions, and execute it after each reboot. If anyone really wishes to modify boot.img - I assume that he/she knows enough about Linux/Android since it can be relatively easily done only on Linux, can find the necessary guides with some googling (like I did), and in this case the modification is easiest to do directly in init.rc - changing "hostname localhost" to "hostname name_of_your_choice".
[ORIGINAL POST]
Hi people,
I'm not much of a dev, but I can find my way around with a bit of Google search And sorry about the links that don't link, new user's permissions don't allow me to...
Anyway, after messing with my router today I've noticed that Nexus transmits "localhost" as its host name to DHCP server, causing my DD-WRT to show it as "*". I went to Google and to my surprise, discovered that there isn't such an option in any Nexus ROM yet.
Found this: LINK_www_laslow_net_?p=501
To change your hostname on Cyanogen 5.x, add the following line to the bottom of /system/etc/init.d/01sysctl -- and make sure you make a backup of 01sysctl before editing it!
echo NEWHOSTNAME > /proc/sys/kernel/hostname
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I tested it, and it didn't work. After booting, the file still read "localhost" in it, and the hostname on DHCP server reflected it.
But, I didn't get frustrated, connected with ADB, manually executed the command:
echo MyHostName > /proc/sys/kernel/hostname
checked that the file was overwritten, disabled WiFi, deleted DHCP lease, enabled WiFi back - and voila, I have a new hostname!
Then I went to search for hostname setting, which got me to /init.rc:
on boot
# basic network init
ifup lo
hostname localhost
domainname localdomain
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Well, I guess that's the place. A tiny problem, though - it's in the boot image, which can't be easily modified. Thanks to the latest thread on update.zip creation I can probably do it myself, but I wanted to share the findings and ask for the correct way to implement.
There's a "dirty but functional" way of "disable WiFi - override /proc/sys/kernel/hostname - enable WiFi", and it's probably not a problem to stick it somewhere in the boot sequence, or even write an app that writes those changes to one of the boot scripts and allows configuration of host and domain names. But it's not the best way - DHCP might already give out a lease, and the new host name might not register.
And there's a correct (?) way of doing it, introducing it into init.rc. Since it's "on boot", I suppose that it runs after mounting the partitions - which means that the partitions are already accessible.
In this case, the best way would be executing a small shell script that would check for existence of, say, "/system/etc/settinghostdomainnames.rc" and create a default one if it's not there, then use "import /system/etc/settinghostdomainnames.rc" and set a manual trigger, like the guy is trying to do here:
LINK_groups.google.co.jp_group_android-developers_browse_thread_thread_e2f432707b735ff0
"trigger someeventtobringupnetworkinterface"
That would allow to use a custom setting for host and domain names that can be changed by SW, and adding that as another option into ROM Settings app or external app.
But the guy in question didn't succeed. What did he miss? Would it be better to do something like "on fakesystemproperty=something" and instead of manual trigger, doing "setprop fakesystemproperty something"?
I can probably test it and find out myself, but it would take loads of time compared to one of the kernel devs, and I don't even have the environment set up for modifying boot images. I was kinda hoping that one of the kernel devs would test it. I can write and post the modifications to init.rc and the custom script, they're very simple.
So, who can help me with answering the questions in the thread, and/or testing the modification?
Thanks! It's back.
Oh well, I'll keep preparing Ubuntu VM anyway
OK, first test fired - updated /init.rc in my own boot.img, checked the values. It's working, hostname is indeed modified.
Now I'll try to rewrite /init.rc in such way as to load the hostname setting from elsewhere, while not screwing the security. Will post results soon.
Setting it to the same value as the BT value would be ideal. I'm not sure how you could do that though, because the init scripts run before the frameworks load
Looking forward for a fix to this problem.
Update, but only partially on topic:
God, I hate SH scripting. Couldn't even google a normal tutorial that would explain where I went wrong. A script of 10 lines, and I can't make it work.
Let's see, I need something like this:
#!/system/bin/sh
echo "on service-exited-network_prepare" > /system/etc/net_init.rc
echo " ifup lo" >> /system/etc/net_init.rc
if [ -e "/system/etc/net_init.domain" ];
then
echo "hostname `cat /system/etc/net_init.host`" >> /system/etc/net_init.rc
else
echo "hostname localhost" >> /system/etc/net_init.rc
fi
if [ -e "/system/etc/net_init.domain" ];
then
echo "domainname `cat /system/etc/net_init.domain`" >> /system/etc/net_init.rc
else
echo "domainname localdomain" >> /system/etc/net_init.rc
fi
echo >> /system/etc/net_init.rc
Of course, this thing fails miserably with -
Syntax error: end of file unexpected (expecting "then")
What the hell am I doing wrong? Never used SH before, mostly tcsh and perl.
Thanks.
Oh well, I guess I got the problem.. Unix vs Windows file format. Sorry for bothering.
its always bothered me that you cant change the device name for wifi networks, and ive always looked for a way to change it.
kudos to you for the ambition and diligence to do it!
dont give up, if you can get it smoothed out enough im sure cyanogen will implement it in his next mod. ive always wished there was an option in wifi settings to change device name. itd be very useful for lan ip configuring and when your connected to a random hotspot lol
Ok, after fighting for a day, I still didn't manage to import another .RC file and run on service exit (I don't even see the trace of the process I'm trying to start - the first thing it does is attempting to write log, and there is no log, no matter where I put the start command), but at least for a "quick-and-dirty way" there's a very simple solution, given SD-EXT partition (I believe everyone creates it):
open terminal application, type the following command:
echo "echo YOURHOSTNAME > /proc/sys/kernel/hostname" > /sd-ext/userinit.sh
That would override the hostname of the system before boot completion.
After some reading, I believe there's nothing bad in setting the hostname twice - once default localhost in init.rc, and then overriding it using /proc/sys directory, Linux is designed to cope with that and hopefully so does Android.
So, as to pershoot's request, it's possible to write a small application to read Bluetooth device name value and write it as WiFi hostname, and include it in boot process right before 20userinit.
Now this is a task I'm not suitable for, I have no knowledge of frameworks whatsoever. Anybody up to the task?

I requested it and I'm not pershoot
Oops Sorry, my bad. Fever and lots of time in front of the computer don't do me good...
Kudos to you Jack_R1. Watching this.
Let me know if you need any help with shell scripting.
Gonna watch this and try it out later, the solution so far.
is this a stable fix?
is this confirmed to work?
Sorted out, updated with the most current info and several examples of custom ROMs.

I am running CM6 with a2sd and somehow the /sd-ext/userinit.rc is not executed. Even if I change permissions of the file to 777, it's not executed.
I also haven't found in init.d the script which executes userinit.rc, might be because I am running custom kernel? (wildmonks).
The only way for me to do it was to put the script in /etc/init.d/88userinit file and change it's permissions to 777
It's /scripts/userinit.sh, not userinit.rc
The execution of /sd-ext/userinit.rc used to be in /init.rc, in boot.img.
But the preferred way for most of the ROMs is to use /etc/init.d/ scripts anyway, since a lot of ROMs use them.
Changed the 1st post to reflect it.

[TOOLS] [LINUX, MAC, WINDOWS] Knives & Forks - v. 12.02.04

Knives & Forks
WHAT IS IT?
Knives & Forks is a set of Android tools for everyone. Every operating system, every device.
This cross-platform Android toolkit, written in Python, that is designed to work in Linux, Mac OS X or Windows. I wanted to create something that was unique, and offered a consistent and feature-filled set of tools for Android devs no matter what operating system they use, and for as many Android devices as possible.
WHAT DOES IT DO?
I just started work on this project, so it doesn't do very much yet. Right now we are just focusing on getting drivers and adb installed for as many devices as we can on all three platforms. Once we have adb working for everyone, the real fun can begin as we start to add more device tools that will make use of adb, such as rooting. Eventually ROM customization tools will be added, but we are focusing on device tools and cross-platform compatibility at this time.
View the changelog to see a list of included drivers. The only device that I can confirm is compatible with this script in Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows is the Samsung Galaxy S II, Sprint Epic 4G Touch. This just so happens to be my personal phone, but as I gather feedback I will create an official list of supported devices.
WHERE DO I GET IT?
This project is now being hosted by the Android Creative Syndicate. An up to date link to the most current version of the script, installation instructions for Linux, Max OS , and Windows, and other information can be found HERE. Registration is not required at the ACS forum to download or view installation instructions. You are free to reply in the thread you are reading right now if you don't want to register for another forum.
I HAVE IT INSTALLED, NOW WHAT?
You should be able to open up your terminal application (or command prompt) and run some adb commands. In the future we will be automating adb commands for you, but for now you can try the following as a simple test:
Code:
adb reboot
If everything worked, your Android device should reboot. For further reading on what you can do with adb you can read THIS PAGE.
HOW TO SUPPORT THIS PROJECT
FEEDBACK
Download my script, test it, let me know what happens. Let me know what other features/tools I should add.
THANKS
Hit the thanks button if you like what I'm doing here.
DONATIONS - I don't currently have a link to send me money, but I could quickly set something up if somebody decides they want to help me feed my kid. I am recently unemployed, but I am not relying on my scripting skills to feed my family. Save your cash for a more worthy project, or tuck it away and wait until the project turns into something amazing.
INFORMATION
TELL ME ABOUT YOUR ANDROID DEVICES!
If my script isn't getting adb setup for your device, let me know where to download the correct Windows driver and/or what udev rules I need to add in Linux.
The next phase of this project will be automating the rooting process. If you know the process for rooting your device, please share the details.
HOW TO REPLY TO THIS THREAD
Please do not reply by saying something like "This looks awesome, I'm going to download it now!".
Just download it, test it out, and then tell me about it.
If my script works for you, please don't post something like "It worked for me, this is the best thing since sliced bread!".
At the moment all my script will do is install adb and drivers for your device. In order to test please uninstall any drivers you may have already installed, run my script, then reply with the following information:
Operating System (including version and 32-bit or 64-bit architecture)
Android Device
If you open up a terminal/command prompt window and enter the following command, does your device reboot? If not, do you receive any error messages (while running that command or at any phase of running the Kinves & Forks script)?
Code:
adb reboot
CHANGELOG

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knives & Forks: Changelog
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The most current version is available for download from:
http://knivesandforks.info/releases/knives-and-forks-current.php
**** 12.02.04 ****
http://knivesandforks.info/releases/knives-and-forks-12.02.04.php
- LINUX CHANGES:
-- "python2" is now called by "Knives-and-Forks-Linux.sh" instead of "python" on Arch.
- This prevents starting the script with Python 3, which results in errors.
-- Changes to "scripts/linux/install-adb-linux.sh":
- "su" will be used if "sudo" is not installed, or user doesn't have permissions to use it.
- Added 32-bit libs for more 64-bit distros:
- Arch (new in this release)
- CentOS (new in this release)
- Debian
- Fedora (new in this release)
- Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu
- Added Debian version of '/etc/udev/rules.d/99-android.rules'
- Added '/lib/udev/rules.d/92-permissions.rules' for Debian.
This should fix permissions, allowing adb to run without sudo or su.
- WINDOWS CHANGES:
-- Fixed a couple of missing quotes which were breaking things under Windows XP
- "%userprofile%" was coming back as "c:\documents" instead of "c:\documents and settings\username" in a couple of places
-- "c:\python27" is now the only directory where we look for python.exe
- It is faster to download and install Python to "c:\Python27" than it is to search for it elsewhere.
- This will also prevent issues where Python 3 was installed instead of Python 2, since the script currently gives errors under Python 3.
-- Updated amd64 and x86 versions of setx.exe for updating system PATH on XP/VISTA/7
-- PATH is updated with adb.exe location after Python is installed.
-- The computer will now reboot after updating the PATH, to make sure it will be updated before running the main program.
**** 12.01.27 ****
http://knivesandforks.info/releases/knives-and-forks-12.01.27.php
- GENERAL CHANGES:
-- After adb is installed, adb will reset the android device by running "adb reboot" instead of displaying a list of attached devices with "adb devices".
adb was occasionally reporting no devices were attached, when they infact were. When this happened "adb reboot" still worked, so it is a better test to see if adb is setup properly.
-- Friendlier messages during adb install and testing
-- Added a startup check to make sure the script is running from the correct directory
-- Removed empty Project directory, as it is not being used yet.
- LINUX CHANGES:
-- Added support for "lxterminal" and "urxvt" in "Knifes-and-Forks-Linux.sh"
-- Changed idVendors for Linux udev rules to lowercase instead of uppercase.
- WINDOWS CHANGES:
-- Startup script searches for python in "C:\Program Files (x86)" then "C:\Program Files" and "c:\" last.
-- Drivers should now install even if the language is not English
-- Added drivers for Casio C771 G'zOne Commando
-- Added LG drivers
-- Replaced setx.exe
**** 12.01.25 ****
http://knivesandforks.info/releases/knives-and-forks-12.01.25.php
- Replaced "Knives-and-Forks-Mac.sh" with "Knives-and-Forks-Mac.app".
Starting the script on a Mac should now be as simple as double-clicking the new .app file.
**** 12.01.24 ****
http://knivesandforks.info/releases/knives-and-forks-12.01.24.php
- Fixed a typo which caused the script to crash when viewing the credits screen.
- Smarter python fix for Windows users.
-- "C:\" and all sub-directories are searched for python.exe.
-- If python is not not found, it will be downloaded from python.org and installed to c:\python27.
-- If python is found (in "C:\python27", "c:\python", "c:\xyz123", "c:\program files\python27" or in any directory with any name anywhere on drive c:) the main menu script will launch.
- Added changelog.txt to the release .zip file.
**** 12.01.23 ****
http://knivesandforks.info/releases/knives-and-forks-12.01.23.php
- Minor update to fix Python installation for Windows users, which was causing the script not to launch.
**** 12.01.22 ****

WHERE DID THE OLD POSTS GO?
In an attempt to reduce unnecessary clutter in my original thread, I created supporting threads in each Android device forum. The whole reason behind posting so many times was to keep certain information in the Chef Central post, and certain information out of it in an effort to reduce clutter. Who wants to read through 50 pages of how this, that, and the other thing is or isn't working on devices that you don't own? That system appeared to work very well, but apparently I broke the rules by posting in every Android device forum.
Learn from my mistakes, don't post similarly worded posts all over the place!
ATTENTION PYTHON PROGRAMMERS:
Any idea on what I can do to make the Python files work in Python 2 and Python 3? I have only tested in Python 2.7.2, but I have received reports that Python 3 gives errors. I'm not really doing anything all that fancy, so I'm not sure if something is just a matter or new syntax or something else needs to be imported or what. Any help would be appreciated.
The next release will call "python2" for Arch Linux users since "python" will use python 3.
ATTENTION LINUX USERS:
I am currently testing my Knives & Forks script in some virtual machines using VirtualBox, as well as my local Xubuntu installation.
For distro specific things (installing 32-bit libs, udev changes, etc) in the next release I will be detecting the distro using the following code:
Code:
echo " -- DETECTING LINUX DISTRO --"
if [ "`cat /etc/issue | grep Arch | wc -l`" == "1" ]; then
DISTRO_NAME="Arch"
elif [ "`cat /etc/issue | grep Cent | wc -l`" == "1" ]; then
DISTRO_NAME="CentOS"
elif [ "`cat /etc/issue | grep Debian | wc -l`" == "1" ]; then
DISTRO_NAME="Debian"
elif [ "`cat /etc/issue | grep Fedora | wc -l`" == "1" ]; then
DISTRO_NAME="Fedora"
elif [ "`cat /etc/issue | grep Ubuntu | wc -l`" == "1" ]; then
# DETECTS UBUNTU, KUBUNTU, XUBUNTU, ETC
DISTRO_NAME="Ubuntu"
else
DISTRO_NAME="UNKNOWN"
fi
echo " - $DISTRO_NAME"
Please let me know what other distros your using and if you are able to find the name using the "/etc/issue" method I am using in the above if statements.
I wrote a bash function to check if sudo is installed, and then to see if the current user has permissions to use sudo. If sudo is not installed, or if the current user does not have permission to use it, su will be used instead. This will be included in my next update, but I wanted to post it here first:
Code:
echo " -- CHECKING TO SEE IF 'SUDO' IS INSTALLED --"
CURRENT_USER=$USER
USE_SUDO="NO"
if [ -f "/usr/bin/sudo" ]; then
echo " - 'sudo' is installed."
echo ""
echo " -- CHECKING FOR PERMISSION TO USE 'SUDO' --"
echo ""
echo " If prompted, enter the password for the user '$CURRENT_USER'."
echo ""
if [ "$(sudo whoami)" != "root" ]; then
echo ""
echo " - Sorry, '$CURRENT_USER' does not have permission to use 'sudo'."
echo " - 'su' will be uses instead of 'sudo'."
echo ""
else
echo " - '$CURRENT_USER' has permission to use 'sudo'."
USE_SUDO="YES"

echo ""
sudo $1
else
# echo " -- USING 'SU' TO RUN '$1' --"
echo ""
echo " If prompted, enter the password for the user 'root'."
echo ""
su -c "$1"
fi

}
# EXAMPLE USAGE OF THE DO_SU() FUNCTION:
# NOTE THAT THE COMMAND TO RUN WITH SU OR SUDO HAS TO BE IN QUOTES
DO_SU "whoami"
I also found out why debian users were being forced to use sudo or su in order to use adb. The next release will include this fix, but for those who might be interested in making this change manually:
Open "/lib/udev/rules.d/91-permissions.rules" as root (su or sudo) in your favorite text editor and find this line
Code:
usbfs-like devices SUBSYSTEM==”usb”, ENV{DEVTYPE}==”usb_device”, \ MODE=”0664″
Change MODE to "0666"
Code:
usbfs-like devices SUBSYSTEM==”usb”, ENV{DEVTYPE}==”usb_device”, \ [B]MODE=”0666“[/B]
Instead of replacing or modifying your "/lib/udev/rules.d/91-permissions.rules" file, the next version of my script will actually create a "/lib/udev/rules.d/92-permissions.rules" for Debian users that contains only the following:
Code:
# usbfs-like devices
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", \
MODE="0666"
This file will load right after the 91-permissions.rules and replace just the usbfs-like devices settings. I'm just doing this with my script so I don't accidently break anything on your system. If you are making the changes manually, editing the 91-permissions.rules file should be all you need to do.
Save your changes and then restart udev as root (using sudo or su)
Code:
/etc/init.d/udev restart
-- or --
Code:
service udev restart
This assumes of course that you already have a working udev rule for your android device, and that adb is working only with su or sudo currently. Once this change is made you should be able to use adb without being forced to use su or sudo.
First post updated with latest release, version 12.02.04.
Lots of changes for XP and various Linux distros. See changelog for more information, but things should work better in Arch, CentOS, Debian, Fedora, and Ubuntu (including Kubuntu, Xubuntu, etc).
Hi, I just downloaded the latest file (12.02.04) but it's only 4 KB.
Could you check please?
Thank you!
Trying to unzip the file in Ubuntu 11.10 and this what I get:
Archive: knives-and-forks-12.02.04.zip
End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not
a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the
latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
the last disk(s) of this archive.
unzip: cannot find zipfile directory in one of knives-and-forks-12.02.04.zip or
knives-and-forks-12.02.04.zip.zip, and cannot find knives-and-forks-12.02.04.zip.ZIP, period.
Any help?
I had a typo in the .zip filename, so if you tried to download the file yesterday you basically just downloaded an error message that the .php counter script gave when it couldn't find the file. I will have to take a look at that later because it is supposed to display the message not make you download it.
The problem is now fixed, sorry about that.
Thanks for update.
Downloaded and installed.
Now I can adb from linux.
Have one more question. I hope you can help me with that as well.
I don't see my device (E4GT) as external hard drive or USB drive when debuging is on to copy files to it.
When debuging is off it shows 2 Android devices but when I click on them I'm getting this message:
Error initializing camera: -60: Could not lock the device
Any ideas?
My guess is maybe they didn't get unmounted properly that last time you had it plugged in, but I have no idea why you would get an error message about the camera. I have not seen that one.
Try installing Dropbox and backing up anything important, then formatting the sdcard and try mounting again.
Maybe somebody else has had that error and has a better idea,
I'll try to format sd card tonight when I get home.
But what would be the problem with internal storage?
And what should or could I try to proper mount it?

First thing to check is that it isn't ROM related. Boot into recovery and try to mount as a usb drive and see if it works or not. If it does, I would say wipe and flash another ROM. If it doesn't work from recovery, then it could be a result of not unmounting before unplugging from your computer.
Sometimes if you have your phone mounted as a USB drive, or even just a regular flash drive, and it you unplug it before it is done unmounting (or if you don't use the safely remove hardward feature of Windows) the filesystem can get trashed. It hasn't happened alot with me, and I have seen the problem happen mostly when a flash drive is unplugged before the OS can finish writing to it.
After you get all of your important stuff backed up somewhere like dropbox, reboot into your recovery and repartition the sd card and/or your internal storage, whatever is giving you the problem. When you reboot into android you should be able to use it as normal, and dropbox should automatically copy everything back that you backed up.
This problem isn't really related to my script, so I if you can't get the issue resolved make a new post in Android QA or somewhere else. PM me if you post elsewhere and I can see if I can help you out there.
I didn't mean to say that the problem is related to your script.
Your script works just fine and I'm able to adb.
I'm kinda new to linux and still learning it.
I needed help and advise for how to connect phone to pc in linux.
It works in windows for me.
When I get on my PC I'm gnats give this awhirl. Ad for your mounting disk drives if ur on any ics rom it wont and I don't know how to enlighten me someone but if its gingerb then make sure u mount with the phones option when u plug in on ur handset ther should be some kind of way to switch between teather, disk and charge only? Wat fone u got?
Does this knife and forks compile? What does it do? Sorry to sound like a knob.

The post where I found the font said it was an Android logo inspired font, and not the actual android logo font.
I have changed the font I'm using, and have updated my logo graphic to fight off any further concerns.

At the moment it simply automates getting adb setup on Linux, Mac, and Linux.
I have plans to add support for device rooting next, followed by some other adb commands, then rom customization tools as the last stage of development.
Pushing files to the phone, running shell commands, etc, requires that adb is setup properly, so that is where the focus is at right now. Getting the adb & driver installation scripts setup to run on all three platforms is also helping take care of some general troubleshooting, which is good to get out of the way before the main script gets tons of extra features.
All of this info should be in the first post, I'll try to clarify things when I make the next update.

[SCRIPT] MySwap v1.0 (SD and NAND) 13/11/2013

THIS IS A SCRIPT TO HAVE SWAP AND NOT A ROM!
I tested the swap on "CM10.x" by volk204 but there isn't a reason it shouldn't work on other rom versions.
version 1.0 13/11/2013 18:29 GMT+2
I experienced some lag with my wave due to its low ram memory. So after testing a few things i found myself more comfortable with setting up swapfile on sd card(NAND memory); after few minutes this terminal becomes really smooth. (It strangely is faster than setting it up on the phone memory, atleast for me)
The idea is mine, but checking around i found that many other script were made. I got the sleep line to boot part idea from "Defiant07 @ XDA" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2359182). Everything else (as simple it is it's all mine)
Swap is the *nix term for virtual memory, that maybe many are familiar with on windows.
You set up a partition/file and use that as virtual memory. It will be much slower than real ram, but it will be much faster than reloading everything from disk everytime.
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
# This script was authored by Defiant07 @ XDA. If you use/redistribute it, eve$
# Thanks to zeppelinrox most of all, but also many thanks to dk_zero-cool & gu5$
# Much thanks to pikachu01 @ XDA for permission to use the sysctl tweaks from T$
# Read Karl Marx!
# Nearly entirely modified by skyglow
swapfile="/storage/sdcard0/swapfile"
#swapsize in KB
swapsize=524288
swappiness=90
vfs_cache_pressure=100
dirty_background_ratio=5
dirty_ratio=20
dirty_writeback_centisecs=500
dirty_expire_centisecs=200
while [ ! "`ps | grep -m 1 [a]ndroid`" ]; do sleep 10; done
if [ ! -f "$swapfile" ]; then
dd if=/dev/zero of=$swapfile bs=1024 count=$swapsize
mkswap $swapfile
fi
# sleep 30
# mkswap $swapfile
swapon $swapfile
busybox sysctl -e -w vm.swappiness=$swappiness
busybox sysctl -e -w vm.vfs_cache_pressure=$vfs_cache_pressure
busybox sysctl -e -w vm.dirty_background_ratio=$dirty_background_ratio
busybox sysctl -e -w vm.dirty_ratio=$dirty_ratio
busybox sysctl -e -w vm.dirty_writeback_centisecs=$dirty_writeback_centisecs
busybox sysctl -e -w vm.dirty_expire_centisecs=$dirty_expire_centisecs
exit 0
Requirements
Superuser rights on terminal to change permission and copy this file
Configuration
1) set up "swapfile" field to where you want your swap
2) set up "swapsize" field to an appropriate value in KB! ( i think you should try values over 307200 => 300MB to have performance improvements)
(SD or NAND version)
SD version
size=512 MB
position=sdcard root
NAND version
size=300MB
position=bada application partition
How to install
1) Download the right zip from this page
2) Extract the file from the zip
3) Upload the file in some way on the phone
4) Become superuser
5) move it to "/system/etc/init.d"
6) this file should keep hits name "99myswap"
7) change permissions of "99myswap" to 755
8) change its rights to "root:shell"
9) done, next reboot your swap will be set up automatically
P.S.
How to check if swap is activated:
Open terminal
cat /proc/swaps
Swap filename should be displayed with the right size
[ADDED DEBUG SCRIPT]
Possible problems
1) System hangs on cyanogen loading screen ( rotating circle)
INVESTIGATING
2) Battery charge lasts less.
Any kind of virtual memory use more electrical power to perform write/read on disk (SD). This is a side effect of swap.
3) File format
*NIX file format is LF and not CR-LF (for reference why this happens http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newline#Representations)
You can't edit the file with windows notepad, but use something else such as notepad++ and save it in LF coding.
4) System is slower
Possible causes are:
a) you have applications on the same filesystem where you placed the swap
b) your memory (such as SD card) is too slow. Swap will work, it will just go much slower. Try it with a better sd. I tested it with a class 4 and class 10 sdcard and they both speed up. I don't have any possibility at the moment to test a class 2. (reference http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital#Speeds)
5) How to change permissions (thanks Eltjo for copy paste from your answer)
Open terminal
Type: su
Type: cd /system/etc/init.d
Type: chmod 0755 99myswap
Type: chown root:shell 99myswap
6) zRam
On my mobile it's faster if i disable zRam from Settings > Performance > Memory Management > zRam .
Anyway i think outcome may change. Try both solutions.
could be possible to use free nand memory as swap instead of sd card?

I added the NAND version that installs itself in the bada partition. If you installed the sd version remember to remove the swapfile.

lets try both, thank you very much
no problem.
DEBUG REQUEST
Who had the loading screen on cyanogen circle may tell me which sd card class have?
The following procedure do not install the script, it just will work till reboot.
may them try to upload the script in a generic directory such as /storage/sdcard0 and execute it with
su
cd /storage/sdcard0
sh ./99myswap
I'd like the output of that command and the resulting /proc/swaps
then use the phone, (play/call/charge/reboot)
next boot start the script again please and tell me the resulting /proc/swaps again
Thank you for the help
seems work on my phone.
installed swapfile on nand and ram increased 30mb, but low improvement in real performance.
need to change zram options, but cant find this on my phone, maybe due to language discrepancy. can you explain better?
thank you a lot
I also cannot find zram a options under B.U.X V3.1 (4.3.1 CM10.2) by Tigrouzen
If you don't have the menu for zRam it's disabled by default. To see it you should enable all developer settings.
Settings > About phone > Build number (tap 7 times)
Some more tweaks will unlock.

tested and I have to say this is necessary if you want to enjoy a few extra mb in this phone.
I recommend nand swap because everybody have 300-400 unused mb in bada apps partition.
disabling zRAM seems also recommendable.
I hope everybody take care of this script for future ROM releases
*** I will decrease swappiness to 70 or 60, I think it is enough.

Hi, @JonasVFC.
I understand you've been running the Swap version of Android v2.1 Volk204. How do you get it?.
Yo, if I install the file in the directory 99myswap indicating the first page, but I get that the system does not start, stays on constantly CM logo.
A greeting.

[Q][SOLVED]Writing into ramdisk from init.rc

EDIT: The solution is in post #6.
Hi,
I'm trying to make a kernel modification which would create a file on boot before any partition is mounted. I wrote a simple shell script which tries to create a file in the root directory. The problem is I can't write any file to the / directory from a program or a script called by exec from init.rc. If I run dmesg, I can't find any indication of a problem there. I tried to modify the script to write to the /data directory on post-fs, and that worked, but that is not what I want.
I can't find out where the problem is. Do you have any ideas? Thanks.
simplified init.rc snippet:
Code:
on fs
# some work
exec /sbin/busybox sh /test.sh
# some other work
mount_all /fstab.grouper
# and another work
/test.sh
Code:
#!/sbin/busybox sh
echo "test" > /test
/ mounts as ro pretty early...
try to remount it rw before making files, or change the part of init.rc that mounts it ro.

That would be great, the only thing I could see is upon booting its permissions are read-only. And chmod 0777 doesn't change its permissions(rootfs is rw)

OK, I found the cause of the problem and the solution.
The implementation of the exec command in Android init scripts is missing from the init binary by default - the source looks like this:
Code:
int do_exec(int nargs, char **args)
{
return -1;
}
So there are two options - either write the do_exec function yourself, or use a trick to execute your programs.
Writing it yourself would be probably cleaner, but it would mean compiling the init binary again and not everyone wants to do that, so I'll be using the trick.
The trick is to register your program as a service and then invoke it via the start command.
Example init.rc:
Code:
# service invocation - where you need it
# warning - this will not wait for the finish of the program
start my_awesome_program
.
.
.
# service declaration - along with other declarations at the end of the file
service my_awesome_program /sbin/my_awesome_program
disabled
oneshot
If you want to implement the do_exec function and use the exec command, you can use for example CyanogenMod's implementation.
There may be a third option, but I haven't tested that - you can copy the init binary from a kernel which has the exec command working - I suppose all CM kernels should, but I haven't tried.
It's funny how when you already know the solution, you can find so much info, but when you don't, nothing comes up since you are searching wrong.

A small warning - starting the program as a service will not wait for the program finish, so its results will not be available immediately after the start call. I learnt this the hard way after a few hours of debugging just now.

[Q] Script for automatic File deletion accoring to date (last month)

Hey Guys.
Don't know were to post this so I did it here...
I'm not an scripting/Unix pro and struggeling a bit with my folloing script:
Code:
FOLDER="/data/system/"
DAT1=$(date --date="$(date +%Y-%m-15) -1 month" +%Y%m)
FILE1="packages.xml-RW-"
FILE2="*.bak"
DELETE="$FOLDER$FILE1$DAT1$FILE2"
echo $DELETE
OUTPUT: /data/system/packages.xml-RW-201609*.bak (but only with UBUNTU)
File format is packages.xml-RW-201610161339144.bak - Bold is just an unusefull number for me....
Goal is to delete (I use for now echo for testing) specific file which having an specific format. I want to delete all files from last month!
So for this month all files containing "packages.xml-RW-201609*.bak"
Obove script is working under UBUNTU but Android has problems with "-1 month".
DATE command (of Android 6.0.1) is not accepting this...
Maybe one of you have a glue?
Thanks for help.

Instead of using a script have you taken a look at Tasker? It can do pretty much everything and scheduling the deletion of files with specific extensions is definitely something it can do. Let me know if you have any additional questions!
Thanks for your suggestion. I know Tasker. But I do not use it anymore. I want to keep the system as clean as possible... Don't like apps running in background all the time...
So only script is the way for me...
Question is still active ?
As it happens quite often I did it for myself But with an a bit different approach because of limited DATE functions of Android.
This set premonth correctly and also year switching to the year before if we are in JAN is working....
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
FOLDER="/data/system/"
FILE1="packages.xml-RW-"
FILE2="*.bak"
YEAR=`date +%Y`
MONTH=`date +%m`
set -A MTH '12' '01' '02' '03' '04' '05' '06' '07' '08' '09' '10' '11' '12'
PREMONTH=${MTH[$((MONTH - 1))]}
if [ "$PREMONTH" == 12 ]; then
NEWYEAR=`expr $YEAR - 1`
else
NEWYEAR=$YEAR
fi
rm -rf $FOLDER$FILE1$NEWYEAR$PREMONTH$FILE2
