Hi all,
I have an elocity A7 Tablet running 2.2 Dexters ElocityA7 Modv1.2, full root access.
I managed to get usb ADB functionality working correctly after forcing the usb mode to client - i can run shell commands etc...
When I first attempted to launch applications from Eclipse I was getting messages stating /sbin/sh : am: not found. I finally managed to get that corrected by editing the am/pm files and creating the correct references with vi.
So now the applications finally install from Eclipse - HOWEVER - they do not launch when I attempt to run or debug. The Apps do get installed correctly, it just appears it Eclipse can't start the activity.
-USB debugging is enabled
Console output when I attempt to run:
==============================================
Code:
[2011-09-25 19:40:58 - test] Android Launch!
2011-09-25 19:40:58 - test] adb is running normally.

At this point nothing further happens - The logcat below just displays the debugger detaches but I don't know exactly why.

Grateful if anyone has any ideas or can point me in a direction to determine what the cause may be? I know eclipse is configured correctly as I can launch and debug on my Sony Arc 2.3.3 - I think this might be related to a setting on the A7 system
I've narrowed it down to being a problem with my 'am' command - it's not actually doing anything. Anyone know the proper setup for the am command?
Currently this is what I have:
/sbin/am
--EMPTY-- I think this is the problem. If i delete this file however the am command is not found. Do i need to point this somewhere?
/system/bin/am
# Script to start "am" on the device, which has a very rudimentary
# shell.
#
#!/system/bin/sh
base=/system
export CLASSPATH=$base/framework/am.jar
exec app_process $base/bin com.android.commands.am.Am "[email protected]"
Wow as if - problem solved.
#!/system/bin/sh
Needs to be the FIRST line in the file.
Ran into this off Reddit. Includes instructions. Thought people might be interested. Damn impressive.

Looks like I got something to do after getting through this current barrage of Uni assignments
Oh, that is impressive. Something I'll have to try, for sure.
umm...yeah...i'm gonna try this out for sure
\O/
Sent from my NookColor using XDA
So, how does it work??????
Okay, I'd like to report that it works... pretty well!
I started with PengDroid, so I got Debian instead of Arch. Then installed:
Code:
xinit xserver-xorg-core xserver-xorg-video-fbdev xserver-xorg-input-mtrack lxde
I also don't have a spare USB keyboard and mouse, so I decided to skip the keyboard and try to use the touchscreen as a pointing device. So here's my /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
Code:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Layout0"
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mtrack"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event2"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Adapter0"
Driver "fbdev"
Option "fbdev" "/dev/graphics/fb0"
EndSection
As you can see, I'm using the mtrack driver, which makes the screen behave as a giant trackpad (with two-point touch = right-click). I have not been successful in getting proper touchscreen support working with evdev, but I suspect it might require the mtev driver.
Anyway, to start this thing off via adb:
Code:
ln -s Xorg /usr/bin/X
setprop ctl.stop media
setprop ctl.stop zygote
killall bootanimation
xinit /usr/bin/lxsession
... and to go back to Android,
Code:
^C
setprop ctl.start zygote
@bassrebel: Do you want technical details... or an answer involving unicorns?
Thats awesome that the touchscreen does work though. How about sound? I use my nook as my car stereo and would like to see if linux has any better audio drivers than android... also, xmbc on nook in a car would be awesome!
I haven't tried getting sound output, but I know it'd require getting ALSA/OSS set up with something like PulseAudio.

I got to the part where I try to install the mtrack driver but I get:
Code:
E: Unable to locate package xserver-xorg-input-mtrack
EDIT:
I was able to get it running but since no mtrack driver no input so I just restarted. I'm so close, I tried adding repositories to apt and updating but still stuck.

I think I unterstand the problem but how can I fix it.
I had that problem too when I tried to get this running. I ended up searching the problem and had to change a configuration file. I dont really think this linux is worth it to try yet. If only the touchscreen worked though.
Hi
I tried to install AMP(apache, mysql, php5) since I was interested on using Atrix as a web server.
Apache was success, but MySQL was failure. No MySQL, No PHP5(of course)
I tried force installing Busybox using dpkg expecting to be updated(version stayed same), removing and making directories that makes the problem, No luck.
I think it's related to my outdated Busybox(readlink?) There's too many problems here.
Lot of people just say "it's impossible" but why not? At least I want to know why it fails.
I have terminal log below. Sorry for bad, bad english.

I found out it is impossible. Many repos are dead and crucially Ubuntu in this is outdated (without LTS)
I sold the Atrix and bought ARM-based Open PCs (e.g. Raspberry Pi, Cubieboard, Beaglebone Black, Udoo, etc..)
If you want low-power web server, this might be the way to go
(Ubuntu Phone might work but I'm not sure YET)
Hi,
I am trying to run blktrace on my Samsung Galaxy S3; and I compiled my own Android ROM from source code found here: git://github.com/Root-Box/platform_manifest.git (it is Android 4.1.2). I have changed certain configurations so that blktrace is included in the ROM. The linux kernel I am using is 3.0.31-CM
However, when ever I try to run blktrace, I got the following error:
BLKTRACESETUP(2) /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 failed: 25/Not a typewriter.
After using strace to trace the system call, I found that ioctl on /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 with cmd BLKTRACESETUP failed, however I couldn't figure out why.
So I am wondering, did you guys successfully run blktrace on Android; and if so, how did you do that? Also, does anyone has any thoughts on what might went run in my situation?
Thanks a lot.
Suli
So I finally figure this out:
1. In order to use blktrace, the kernel has to be compiled with block tracing support
kernel hacking => tracer => enabling IO tracer
CONFIG_BLKDEV_IO_TRACE
I also enabled a few other tracing options just to be safe
2. In order to use blktrace, all cores have to be online
I observed that blktrace could do ioctl for cpu0 successfully, but not for other cores.
Kernel blktrace facility is creating the trace[n] file in sysfs for the n-th online cpu core which blktrace tries to open.
Usually, only cpu0 is online and others are offline.
That's why blktrace failed opening trace[1, 2, 3] and exited.
So cpufreq governor needs to be changed into "performance" mode
After these two tweaks, it is working

Hi, Yangsuli,
For the first step, how to enable I/O tracer please? Just add CONFIG_BLKDEV_IO_TRACE=y in .config? WHat else did you add to the config file?
And Could you tell me how to make cpufreq governor changed into performance mode?
Many thanks!

Unfortunately, the only real good method of running X11 applications on Ubuntu Touch is via Libertine. That's odd that it won't connect to Mir. /dev/dri should indeed be missing from your phone, most phones do not expose DRM/DRI to the OS as they don't always have native support for it (for example, Qualcomm devices require the msm_kgsl_drm kernel module, however that module doesn't compile properly on newer kernels.)
On Android devices, an abstraction layer known as Libhybris is used for handling graphics and hardware by wrapping the native Android drivers and using them.
The only thing I could suggest is possibly creating a new empty libertine container and install only pidgin on it to see if it could possibly be an issue with your container, last time I used Ubuntu Touch, Pidgin worked out of the box in Libertine.
Thank you for your reply

How exactly did you get to this point? Which UT image? Was libertine included? The scope? The app? Did you install parts of it via apt? How did you run it? Where/how do you read the error?

When you say without the container what exactly do you mean? If you only make the desktop file yourself, then there still is only one pidgin executable and that is the one in the container, right ... I don't know how to connect the two.
