hi-
has anybody succeeded in running one of the linux apps/ frameworks in order to get snapd running, which itself could enable us to install apps via this or am I missing a point here? I tried "Debian nonroot" but it wouldnt have snapd install packages, although snapd was available via synaptic.

Hi.
I'm trying to make some custom native software for android but I need some help getting started.
What I have done so far is getting a HTC Hero, GSM version.
Flashed a custom rooted ROM. update-hero-generic-2.73.405.38-rooted-signed.zip
Installed the sdk and ndk on Windows.
Downloaded and built the open source android project in a VMWare ubuntu image.
What I'm trying to do now is to get ADB talking to my Hero.
I have USB debugging on in the applications->development menu on in the Hero.
When I attach the phone to my XP PC it detects it and asks for drivers, I point it to drivers in android-sdk-windows\usb_driver, windows won't load them because they do not match the hardware.
I can install the driver manually but eventhough the device manager lists it as working (android phone with android composite ADB interface) adb cant find it.
adb devices just give me an empty list.
I tried this on a Windows 7 box and it seemed to work there, is there something special I need to do to get it working on XP?
Installing HTC Sync (drivers included) should resolve.
Thanks!
I actualy tried that before posting but it did not seem to work.
I now tried it again and this time I manually installed the driver in the HTC directory and now it works.
I've found very limited google information regarding installing a package manager so that I may install perl or python or what have you. I'd like to be able to write my simple script programs for my open source linux phone.
It'd be nice to install gcc make compiler....banshee....mplayer natively...i'v ran them under a vnc debian install also vnc to my home pc ..but thats kind of lame our phone is already running linux why boot into another copy....why not extend our own natively by installing needed dependencies as they are needed via a package manager just as the intel/amd versions do...is ARM so crippled that it doesn't know how to install anything besides external apps with maybe a library or two?
We need to stop trying to be LIKE apple and use our linux power to which there is no competition!

ARM instruction versus x86-64 instruction. It bugs me, too. I also have a Gtab, more than double the power of the vibrant, useless without awesome apps.
I'm trying to get adb to detect my Electrify on Windows 8, it would seem rooting and/or installing ROMs is impossible without adb, I have my phone plugged in and all the drivers installed except one "Motorola ADB Interface" of course. The manual driver installer errors out on "Cannot detect Operating System" is there anyway around this, either forcing the driver in, or not using ADB to root?
Use a linux live cd and install the android sdk, or use something like vmware, or try to extract the driver and force it to install in device manager, or dual boot an os that isnt in beta...

The linux live cd should actually work I didnt think about that
I found this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741824
It says its for use with HTC phones but could it possibly work with mine?
Its a year and a half old
Will the driver for my phone be installed/available?
I would post this there but its kind of a dead thread
If you have a spare thumb drive of 4gb or larger laying around you can do a persistent install of ubuntu (or just about any other distro) using LinuxLive USB Creator, which can be found here: http://www.linuxliveusb.com/
If you're not very familiar with linux, persistence is like having your linux operating system on a thumb drive with the advantage over a live cd being that any changes you make (such as installations or saved files) are not lost upon shutdown. So you could install the android sdk (which is all you should need) and then whenever you needed it you could just boot from your thumb drive. If you need help setting up (such as installing the sdk and setting the path and what not) let me know.

So i really am looking for a way to get linux possibly debian or ubuntu to get working on my android. tried linux deploy , complete linux installer, gnuroot...no luck. Please helo if you can
Device: xaomi mi4, android 6.0.1 cyanogenmod
Sorry for the necro, but gnuroot debian on the playstore should work! Remember it only installs the backbone of linux via a P-root (like chroot). You would need to install and set-up all dependencies you need to run applications by yourself though! I had no issues running octave (even in gui) and blender. I still have more to learn about bash. Anything that can run on arm64 (if your soc has an instruction set of armv7+). Also since you are rooted, you should be able to get even kernal installed easily, but it will take some time, patience and work!!
hi, i trying to use the TVstock Gapps package on geek till it hertz's Android TV 7.1 Nougat for PC (build on Android x86)
i am unsure on how to proceed with the installation of the package
my hope is that others who want to make their own Android TV with Gapps will find this post useful and might make videos or more in depth tutorials on the subject
but at this current point, i don't know how to proceed
but this is a summery of what i currently have to work with
1. Android TV 7.1 running on VMWare Workstation 14 player NON ROOTED (couldn't get it working on actual hardware will solve that later, but as far as i know this shouldn't be different on actual hardware then on a virtual machine)
2. a USB (for transferring files and apks, there is no drivers for android to allow file copying, it also has no Ethernet capability so i have to use a USB wireless device to allow for a network connection)
i have tried rooting this device with various root methods, with no success, the opereating system seems to dismiss it, when i tried a terminal method, apps couldn't still see that i had rooted the device even when i remounted the system partition so i could write it to it, apps still couldn't see that the device was rooted
i want to try and get this done without rooting but i am happy to try again with other suggested rooting methods
thanks for reading and i hope you can help me and others with the same problem
