-Go to ubuntu.com
-Click the big orange "Get Ubuntu" button, then "Try it from a CD or USB stick"
-Follow their details for downloading and installing onto a USB drive
-Once you are booted into Ubuntu, set up your network, whether WiFi or wired. Should pop up on the upper right corner
-Plug in your phone (make sure USB debugging is on). A "restricted drivers" icon should pop up in the upper right. Click it and tell it to use them.
-Use Firefox and download the beta from the alphrevx link. Open the file from Firefox, and in the archive manager, tell it to extract to your desktop.
-Click the applications tab on the left, click show all next to installed programs, and select Terminal
-type "cd Desktop"
-type "sudo ./alpharevx"
-Follow their instructions
Hopefully that helps a bit.

Amazing
You rock! Thank you for simple instructions for us non-Linux Users, worked perfectly!

You would need to download it and install under Windows using this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134520
Aside from that, just copy the alphrevx binary to the Desktop via flash drive, and it should work just fine

Someone in the alpharevx irc channel (I believe it was attn1) said a downgrade to 0.97 would be coming but that's really all the details they gave.

thanks for the update. perhaps will get lucky and they will include it with the rereleased windows version.

This is a general section post. *shakes fist at you*

I've burned my ubuntu live disk in 64bit, but for some reason, when i boot it up on my HP dv2945se, the screen is distorted by these horizontal lines and no adjustments to Monitor Settings would get rid of them. I'm also having trouble getting my computers built in wireless router to be seen by Ubuntu... save me! i'm a helpless Linux n00b!!!

A good idea is to use virtual box. Free and you won't worry about rebooting or video distortion

Well, thanks guys. I succeeded only after typing it in like 3 times (not sure how the hell I was doing it wrong, but suddenly - it worked.)

Now just to teach myself about the rest of android tweaking now that root has opened her legs for us...

There are different versions of ubuntu (x86, etc). Whatever one you downloaded is the wrong one. The other should work.

The free version if virtual box doesn't have the usb support needed. I didn't try it but people who used wubi claimed errors. The live cd worked fine for me.

{HOWTO} Increase recipents of Messaging on Wave

Follow these steps if you want to try and use at your own risk.
You will need sTunes
1. You can connect your wave to computer with either Samsung Kies or USB debugging mode.
2. Run Stune.exe
3. You will see "Samsung Mobile Modem V2" with usb icon in device list.
4. Double click on the device and Stune is connected with Wave now and you will see it's properties such as model #, Firmware, etc..
5. Go to "Browser" tab and double click on "Registry" and a list of registry comes up.
6. Right click on "MsgSetting.ini" and Click on "Copy" and save it somewhere such as Desktop.
7. Open the "MsgSetting.ini" with a notepad or something.
8. Change the setting as you desire and save it.
9. Go back to Stune windows and right click "MsgSetting.ini" and copy your save file from computer to Stune. Drag and drop method only works here. I think you can override it but Stune will not ask you any confirmation for that.
10. After that you disconnect your phone and reboot it. And that's it
In the MsgSetting.ini change sms_rcpt_max_count=10
to sms_rcpt_max_count=20
This will make the maximum recipients value to 20.

Just a question...sTunes is an app in the phone or in the computer?

[Q] Logcat any way preferred over another?

Well I have a question to our devs. Is there any one way to logcat that is preferred over another? I never have done logcat to determine issues for our device and I would like to start. I know there are a couple apps on the play store that are useful like aLogcat or Catlog. I know its best to use adb and even run the command in terminal emulator.
There is a great guide here that I've been referring to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1726238
And DONT forget to thank paxChristos for the guide.
In short I want to logcat to help out our devs as much as possible so is there any requirements that you like to see for a logcat? Should I/we try and duplicate the issue a certain amount of times while doing the logcat? Any feedback would be useful.
Thanks to everyone who makes these devices we have just that much better. And keep up the great work.:thumbup::thumbup:

Adb is always the best and easiest way. Always be sure to use -v long when logcatting as it's makes our lives 10 times more easier. Personal favorite log cat guide is this

ADB is a great way to do it. The two guides stated above should help teach you how to logat.

For some reason i can not get my device to connect to adb, Ive never had this problem before and my my old G2x connects just fine. Ive uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled with no luck. Also went as far back as uninstalling the drivers and odin back to stock to try and have them reinstalledwith no luck. Any ideas?

Try installing the regular ADB drivers then. I linked a Google search for "Samsung adb drivers".

Damn still can not connect, I've tried to uninstall Google USB driver and Samsung USB drivers and they uninstall and install just fine witj a reboot in between of course but phone is still not connected. I'm my device manager on the PC under other devices it shows 4 android devices all with yellow caution signs.
Now my G2x won't show either lol Going to try and completely remove ADB and reinstall and see what happens.

If using Windows you must run the command prompt [cmd] as an admin be sure to do the following in Win 7:
click start type cmd in the white box and wait as it searches. When it lists cmd in that list now right click and choose run as admin.
Also you need to enable developer options [go to settings about device and tap the build ID like 7 times [as you tap it, it should count down after the first couple taps once you hit it enough it will say you have enabled developer options if you don't see them in settings already]
Be sure to hit the on off switch in upper right of window when you first tap developer options if the options are greyed out and don't let you change anything
Now in developer options be sure to go to the option where it says enable root access and be sure it says apps AND ADB if it says apps only tap that and change it to Apps and ADB.
Now try again
BTW I love CatLog it has a home screen widget that can start / stop recording for you] so if you know how to produce the problem go to home screen tap the widget go through the steps until the error occurs go back to home screen tap widget again and it stops then look in /sdcard/catlog/ and it will have text files named with the date and time and that will be the entire log cat that happened between the time you started and stopped the recording of your actions.

[Q] Dead screen, I need screenshots

My HTC One X has a dead screen. The actual OS, lights and touch digitizer work as they should.
I have a lot of documents and photos on the phone that I would love to get off the phone via USB, but I cant quite get to the settings page without a screen.
If there is a way to pull the data off without having to go into the settings and set USB to file transfer, or if someone can send screenshots so I can see where to tap, that would be great.
I need a screenshot of the password screen (keypad), the settings screen all the way until i get to the usb screen, if anyone would please.
Thanks. First thread.

What recovery do you have (a custom one?) You can boot into that and enable ums and then retrieve data.
I may guide you

Recovery? I dont know what you are talking about, so I believe i use stock. I stumbled upon a different way to get the files off via a hack on a different thread, but its ADB hack. Im a little clueless with this, but if you could guide me that would be appreciated.
The other thread i found is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1573744

Ah you are fully stock, no unlocked bootloader and custom rom ?
Well at least we can try this :
Download android SDK bundle (Google ) and unpack it to lets say :
C:\android
So we can find it easily ! Navigate with windows explorer to that folder and unfold the folders to a folder named "platform-tools" and check that you have adb.exe inside that folder.
Hold down shift and right click the mouse, select "open command window here.
Now connect the phone and type :
Adb devices in the command window

It says "List of devices attached" and nothing else, then goes back to where it was. My phone does come up in "My computer" as drive K, but it cant be opened, probably due to the phone not allowing access, yknow when you hook it up it asks what you want it to do with the USB, like sync or charge, but its defaulted to charge only. But yeah, ADB DEVICES doesnt really do anything as far as I notice.

Then you probably have the problem that usb debugging is not enabled
You are on JB .... do you know how to get the phone on its homescreen ?

I had no luck unlocking the phone. I believe I did, but it still didnt show up on the command prompt.
Im sorry I dont have much knowledge on android, but i presume there is no way to directly pull data from the device, without having to unlock it, correct?
Edit
I dont think the digitizer is functioning anymore. I cannot get any touch response out of it anymore. Is it a goner?

I cant get any response out of it anymore. Am I out of options?

I just had one last thing to add.
Sorry for the late reply, but, It still has internet connection and I can install an app from the Play store remotely. I just cant run it due to the broken screen, but, if possible, is there a remote-access app that doesnt require setup that you know of? Or an app that enables file access somehow, Im not sure.
Or im still out of options. thanks again for your attention.

Hello to everyone!
This description is very good, but unfortunately I can not help of mind. The Freetab 2099 tablet is set, the OSD, I forgot, offered through the recovery gmail account, but the machine is not connected to the Internet, and it can not be solved. The Windows XP felimeri the machine, but only shows an empty folder adb driver installation, and Total Commander, however does not see downloaded from the manufacturer's website drivers installed, but not working this solution, a multitool can not find device. Maybe a factory reset would solve the matter but has not yet been described find or install a new rom that is. Img extension of the manufacturer's side, but I do not know bekepcsolni debug mode on the machine, it does not allow the zárképrnyőről to move on.
If anyone knows a solution to my problem, thanks in advance.

Hi there, i have tried to use the following software but it doesnt work
so basically I have a samsung G3 i9300T and I know the pattern code but i still want to try out.
firstly when i ran the Multi-tool, it doesn't recongized my phone. So i realized i have to turn on USB debugging in order to let the software to detect my phone.
So i have turned the usb debug mode on and it finally picks up my phone.
Press 1 and it has my serial number, good, good. Then I go to option 3 as you mentioned in order to unlock pattern lock.
It reboots, and the pattern lock is still sitting on screen. So i tried to swipe anywhere on the pattern lock but it doesnt allow me to go further unless i input the right code.
Now i am wondering what could went wrong?

Thanks for supplying such a tool, unfortunately I tried it and had the same result has Fossil_Sioux on a Motorola XT901.
