basically busybox expands the list of commands you can give to your device, and adds some linux based commands, for example you cant use apps2sd without busybox being installed ect

Framework .NET Question

Have looked for ages in the forums but still haven't found the answer for this, I'd like to start downloading some new apps etc and for many of them I've read here that I need Microsoft framework .NET 3.5, trouble is being new to the HD and it's my first Windows phone I don't know where to go to find out which version I currently have installed if at all?
Could someone please point me in the direction of how to find this out before I try to download something that may already be on my phone.
Any help would be much appreciated.

If you're running stock ROM then you have v. 2. Cooked ROMs usually already have 3.5.
Open a Registry editor and navigate to
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\.NETCompactFramework. Check the entries in there: if you see 3.5.7283.00 you have 3.5, if you see 2.0.7045.00 then you have 2

Help! How to install Android on my Touch Pro 2?

== MOD EDIT ==
please check stickY
== END EDIT ==
Hi there,
First of all! Great forum! You guys have build a great community and I like it. But I hope you can help me with this. i know there are a lot of threads about this, but because all the different type of phones/android versions ect... I don't know what to do...
My question, how can I get Adroid running on my HTC Touch Pro 2 (Rhodium). I have the standart version, so not a branded one.
I've tried to install it but android won't launch. Maby one of you could create a mini tutorial or a noob tutorial, because I think there are more people like me (with less knowedge of phone tech) who want to run android on their phones. I hope you could help me!
Thanks!
Kind Regards,
Sami

Haret is part of the android program. (haret.exe)
You can either use a file explorer to navigate to storage card/android/haret
or with the .cab installs (anything after 2/22) you will get an icon in your start menu.

Hi Thanks I've used that thread but used the wrong cab. Didn't know that rhod100 is the standart version
Thank you! It works now, but is it a known problem that you cant fill in the correct code (PIN code for your SIM?).
And second I can't charge my battery with the usb cable is this also a known problem?
Thanks

I have Android installed on my phone and it works fine except one MAJOR thing. I messed up the touch screen calibration and now I can't use the touch screen in android and I cant figure out how to recal the touch screen in android.
Got it. i just deleted the ts calibration file from the android project folder and started android again.

Ok man maybe you can help me out with the problem im having. I go to file explorer and i launch Haret.exe and it immediately takes me to the linux booting page with the penguin at top. But it soon stops saying "Cant access tty. Job control turned off. And it doesnt move from there. What am i doing wrong?
delete all the contents from the .cab file you downloaded, make sure your memory card has wiped any remaining files from the original download, re-install and make sure you are downloading the correct .cab file for your handset, install to memory card and try again.
Yo Ihwparis chill out. This is a forum for information trading and gathering. Everyone was a noob at one time or another including you and asked questions that have been asked a million times already. Stop treating people like idiots. Help them or stop reading the thread. Someone else will help them out. It's not that serious. I can tell you one problem here that I encountered was a thread would be started and trail off into someting completely different never answering the first question. After reading pages upoon pages you get nothing. Some people like myself have real lives and real jobs and dont have time to sit here and read every post. If you take it so serious maybe you should sticky an informative how to guide and maybe that will stop people from bothering you so much.

I was actually on XDA for about 6 months, reading, before I finally decided to even MAKE an account, because I didn't want to be "That Noob". It was about another 6 months to a year before I posted anything at all. As you said yourself, most questions have already been asked a million times. This means that it is only a matter of reading, before you find someone that has asked the same question. In most cases once you find the question, and read a little further it leads you to the answer. He was smart enough to post in the correct sub-forum, which means he must have read through the forums a bit anyways. It wouldn't have taken much more work to read the top 3 sticky threads in that same sub-forum, and find the answer to the question.
I can get the whole thing to load however I cannot ever get the start screen (touch the androind to start) to ever let me touch it. The only thing that works is the keyboard input. Any suggestions?

Why do ROM developers put BusyBox in their ROMs?

Why?
It is needed to have root on your device. Google it, to get more details
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
I myself dont know and it would be nice to have an explanation here as most of us are new to this rooting and bricking jargon simple explanations of these things will help "COMMUNITY" members hence why we have a section
HTC one X Q&A
It very easy to tell someone Google it
as Einstein said: "If you cannot explain it simply then you don't understand it well enough"
check this video out I found it, however I cannot view it due to Admins blocking Youtube http://www.google.co.za/url?sa=t&rc..._92TCg&usg=AFQjCNGRf354aisVBQXiO8jVypBAj91PLg
Edit:
Not my intention to be Rude but this is a Q&A and we need to be helpful as a Community not make people not want to ask questions
BusyBox is a package containing a whole range of "program commands" and/or "scripts" (tools). It is with these extra tools, specific tasks can be performed.
Once a custom ROM has BusyBox installed, it means that scripts on the ROM and apps in the ROM can use make use of the tools to perform their tasks.
For example "dd" is a known linux command/tool for block-by-block copying and dumping. However "dd" does not exist until BusyBox is installed. Other popular tools are "uname" to get the kernels name/details, and "ls" is to list the contents of a directory/folder (similar to "dir" in DOS). There are about 50 or more of these commands packaged inside "BusyBox". Whenever there are new versions of BusyBox installed (as you may see in the changelogs for some custom ROM's), this is simply because BusyBox has included either new versions of some of its tools, or perhaps added additional tools to the package.
Hope that helps answer your question. However to be honest, I found all that out by SEARCHing this forum.

^^ hit the nail on the head. That's not to say that busybox is the ONLY way to get those tools. It's just the slimmest. There are more robust gnu equivalents of the tools that it includes, but they're nowhere near its tiny footprint.
Busybox is a pretty neat application though, since all of the tools that it provides are housed in one binary (busybox). The other commands operate with symlinks named appropriately for their function (su, etc.). The binary detects the name of the symlink that invoked it and behaves appropriately. It's commonly used in environments where not much space is available (recovery environments, embedded systems, etc.)

The main reason people here get told to Google a problem is because more likely than not, the answer you'll get from the search engine will be a page from XDA...
There's also a search box within XDA too, I found these pages using it, they would have answered the OPs question, there wasn't really a need for this thread.
Not trying to be rude but the search is there for a reason and these questions have been asked hundreds of times before
http://busybox.net/FAQ.html#whatis
thank you all for the feedback it is much appreciated
oh and I did do a search but only on the HOX forum not the entire site, and Searching only th HOXX forum there were fragmented pieces of info, but anyways Thanks you guys

[Q] Init.d support for 32.4.A.0.160

Hey everyone.
Can someone please tell me how to enable init.d support without magisk on 32.4.A.0.160 firmware, xperia z5 premium e6833. I am using ta poc+SuperSu arrangement and want to use some init scripts.
Regards
Adil
Isn't there anyone using init.d with SuperSU?
Well then can someone then please tell me how to use service.d or post-fs-data.d scripts. I have tried to use it but
1) In service.d, mounting scripts don't work or may be i am doing something wrong, do point out the error. I am just creating scripts and putting them in magisk/.core/service.d folder with permission 0755.
2) I have no idea how to use post-fs-data.d. I read somewhere that magisk runs those post-fs-data scripts that are included in the modules only and not the individual scripts themselves.
Please tell me how to run my scripts through any of these ways.
Regards
Adil
P.S: Don't just view the thread, try to help others, I mean that's why we all are here right! To learn...
I'm not sure why no one is answering or helping around here. Personally, I don't know how to help you. so I'm sorry. I may suggest asking in the Android general chat, not specifically this phone series. as even my own question has fallen on deaf ears. I found answers on other sites instead and am following on with those sites.
the Z5p seems to have become a bit of a graveyard now since anyone able or willing to develop for it has moved on to other devices, I've even looked into building myself but I need a more powerful computer so i'm stuck with what i'm able to find online.
I hope you figure out what you need to, to sort your problems. but my advice would be to not limit yourself to just one device forum. the question you ask is an android related question, not just for the model of phone you use. at least this is how I think it is. I could be wrong.
but if there is no one here to answer your question, i don't see any issue with the question being brought up in a forum with a wider reach.

QNX based infotainment systems and navigation apps

Hello,
I'm actuallty working on Ford's SYNC3 system which is based on QNX 6.50. I have full access to it and would like to modify the navigation system. Actually, the system uses either Telenav (for EU and NA maps) or NNG (for rest of the world). None of those two systems is really satisfying as they are closed source and don't allow much modifications.
Therefore, I would like to build (compile) or port another system; preferably open source.
First I thought of osmand which is open source but I was told that QNX doesn't have everything needed to port it. Now I wonder if Navit : www navit-project org could be compiled for QNX.
So I would appreciate if anybody could help me / give me some info on it.
Regarding closed source apps, I saw that some car brands using QNX run Tomtom. But I can't find anything regarding an SDK for this.
Thanks in advance for all your help / hints.
Maybe it is not appropriate to ask here.. But it seems you have already give up your another thread.
I'm also on to that SYNC3 system, but I only got a update image that I dont know how to extract. Can you tell me how you extract that image?
It seems like QNX6 filesystem but I failed to mount it. I downloaded the files you posted in your another thread, and carved binaries from my own image, the files seems to fit.
Sorry I can't help you about your problem, and sorry for the interrupt, but I really need some help and find nowhere to ask. Thanks.

Hi stang18, I wish I had knowledge on the topic and could help you, but I can't.
I'm very interested if you could elaborate on how you gained full access to the SYNC 3 system.
I would much appreciate it and I believe the people from this thread would also be interested:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/connected-car/ford-sync-3-shell-access-t3707308
Thank you so much and I hope someone will be able to help you too.
Well I just noticed that the thread I added above was yours to begin with and seems you've managed to get all the access you wanted.
I'd be very happy if you could share the procedure of how you managed do it.
Thanks!
