| QtADB for Android |

What is QtADB?
QtADB is a pretty cool utility program that allows you to copy/paste any file/folder/zip/apk from your computer to anywhere in your rooted phone or sd card and vice-a-versa. No more pushing and pulling files/folders/zip/apk's with shell commands.
It has a lot more features, but I'll just let you check it out here: http://androidforums.com/optimus-v-all-t...ost4093175
If you have a rooted Android device and have a ClockworkMod recovery installed this is the utility for you.
Note: You must have the Oracle java6 jdk installed and the Android SDK must be setup properly first. Go here for more info: https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/index...opic=445.0
You also need to make a shortcut and put on the desktop if you want quick access to the utility.
You can use a Modified ClockworkMod recovery as long as it's not too modified. TWRP, and the Cannibal Open Touch recoverie's will not work with this utility.

This will allow you to see you phones screen on your computer screen in real time.
For more info go here: http://droid-at-screen.ribomation.com/
This is a stand alone .jar file that you put on the desktop. When you need to use it just right click on the .jar file and select to open with Oracle 6 runtime.
Note: You must have the Oracle java6 jdk installed and the Android SDK must be setup properly first. Go here for setup: https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/index...opic=445.0
If you have problems with the setup just ask.

This is not my work really, but a compilation of all the info I had to find by browsing and asking in forums.
After you have installed the Android SDK with the tools and platform tools folder added then you will need to do all this (here is a link to a mini SDK that will work with most anything: http://androidforums.com/faqs/443072-adb...ost5389081 ):
Install jdk (if not already installed on your machine):
Code: sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk
http://www.webupd8.org/2012/11/oracle-su...lable.html
For actuall Java6 jdk instead of the openjdk-6. After installing the Oracle java6, while in that same terminal, type in:
Code: sudo apt-get install oracle-java6-set-default
Install gedit: Go to software center and type in "gedit" into search box.
If Linux distro is a 64bit distro then you need to open a terminal and type in this:
Code: sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
Put the Linux_SDK folder in your home folder. Change name to just sdk. Make sure all .exe's have the
box checked in the permissions window.
Now plug in your phone into a usb port, open up a command line interface (terminal) and type in:
This should kick out a list of plugged in devices. Most likely the last one is your phone. If you can't figure out which one it is unplug your phone and type in the same code. The one thats missing is your phone.
On that same line, there is an ID number in this format...xxxx:xxxx. Write that number down for
reference.
Go to /etc/udev/rules.d and look to see which file is the android.rules file. Should be the 51-android.rules file, if not, try looking in 99-android.rules.
Then open up a terminal and type in:
Code: sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules (or whatever the exact name of the android.rules file)
When the rules open, go to the end and copy/paste the following:
Code: Code:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0502", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="12d1", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1004", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="22b8", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="04e8", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0fce", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0489", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="18d1", SYMLINK+="android_adb", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="04e8", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="####:####", SYMLINK+="android_adb", MODE="0666" GROUP="plugdev"TEST=="/var/run/ConsoleKit/database", \RUN+="udev-acl --action=$env{action} --device=$env{DEVNAME}"
ago. Then save and exit.
Note: For even more info on the 51-android.rules file go here: http://www.joescat.com/linux/android_rules.html
Another command:
Code: sudo service udev restart
Now check to see if you're good:
cd SDK/platform-tools
Should get the device s/n now. If not, exit, restart machine then open up terminal and retry the
above 2 commands. If all is well and you want to be able to adb/fastboot globally, you'll need to
edit the bashrc like this:
Code: sudo gedit ~/.bashrc
and exit.
Code: # Android tools
export PATH=${PATH}:~/sdk/tools
export PATH=${PATH}:~/sdk/platform-tools
Double check by going to home folder and hitting Ctrl + h.
If the .bashrc is locked then you will need to open up a terminal and type in this:
Code: sudo chown -R (user name):(user name) .bashrc
In some linux distro's this is not enough. If all that didn't work then go to the ~/sdk/platform-tools folder and make a link to the adb.exe by using the right click option (this will probably name it "link to adb"). Move it to the ~/ folder and rename to just adb.
Now open up a terminal and type in:
Code: sudo mv ~/adb /usr/bin
Note: The same needs to be done with fastboot.
Now unplug phone, restart machine. Once fired back up, plug phone back in and from any location run:
If all went well, it'll output your s/n as before but without the ./ prefix.
You can now fire up a terminal anywhere and give your phone fastboot commands and use the Android
Debug Bridge a little easier.

Seems T bird locked up and some instance(s) still running. Can't manipulate/move/delete messages. What I have found searching on the error message seems to relate to a glitch in the profile file. Where is Thunderbird profile in the file system? Thanks

Alongside W7HP and Linux Mint 17, I just installed Linux Lite. I like it, but...
When I chose my printer (Brother HL-2140) and then clicked print a test sheet, it printed a blank sheet, then another, another and so on. To get it to stop, I deleted that printer, rebooted, re-chose it... same problem.
Then I tried reformatting that partition and reinstalling Lite... same problem. Then I tried that test on Mint. It used to work fine, but it suddenly had the same problem. Tried a page in W7HP, no problem.
Because I'm just goofing with Linux, I deleted and reformatted my three ext4 partitions and the swap partition. Then I installed Mint again, but not Lite... same problem! So, as for this forever printing problem...
Because the printer works fine in Windows, the printer isn't the problem, per se, but it does seem to be misinterpreting commands when booted from any Linux OS. Crazier still, until I installed Linux Lite, there was no problem, but the problem remains if I remove it.
And yes, I've rebooted the printer itself several times... ideas?

Just downloaded LinuxLite and burned to a CD (Actually downloaded with my 3G enabled phones hotspot mode and the md5 sum matched, so I ran with it). I will be reading all the threads to get familiar with it.
I will use this for Windows XP replacement on older machines that have low resurces (I fix older machines for my Spiritual brothers and sisters).
Took a little walk through it in the live mode, not bad at all. Even had support for my old wireless adapter card (Linksys WPC54G version 3.1). Will have to see how hard it is to install ndiswrapper for my Linksys WPC54G version 2.0 (really, really old wireless adapter card).
The only thing I can't try is printer set up (no printer). Most of my brothers and sisters have old printers and I will have to figure out each ones driver install method. Hopefully this will be easy to do with this Distro.
Nice work Valtam. The added legacy support for older wireless adapter cards is a big help as well as WINE. Hope to see some legacy support for printers as well (would be nice, but not holding my breath on that one).

| not booting with grub2 |

Previously I have been able to boot into Linux Lite 1.0.8 using grub 2 on my test box that runs grub2 from a Linux Mint install.
The install of Lite 2.0 seemed to work ok but when I come to boot it I get "error file name expected...press any key to continue" although grub does appear to be finding it with its os--prober as it appears in its list of available distros. It just won't boot.
Is anyione multibooting 2.0 with grub2 that can help?
Does anyone know what parameters I need to do a manual entry into grub for lite 2.0
Before anyone asks, yes I have checked the MD5 and yes I've tried it using another type of CD
Also other distros work just fine.
I need to do an evaluation of Lite as I am considering using it in the charity where I volunteer helping senior citizens learn pcs and also converting their XP PCs to Linux.
Thanks

Have been running live CD LL2.0 on desktop without difficulty. 160gb two partition - main Vista + second smaller HP backup/recovery. Main partition had circa 30 GB free into which the LL2.0 was to go..
Tried to install dual boot but installation did not give me the option. So not wishing to replace vista I ceased installation via the "quit" option.
On shutting don LL2.0 live removing CD and then rebooting desktop, the computer is hanging and not going into Vista mode. Retried start up of vista after having switched desktop off from the mains.
Any guidance as to how to get desktop functioning on Vista again much appreciated. Hope i have not lost all the data on the disk.
Thank you.
