[Q] How do I get a log collector

I don't see what I'm looking for when I search so here goes. I'm helping out with a bible app that you can download off line versions for. Only in certain ROM's like SR it reboots instead. They want me to capture the log for it when I go to try download but don't know what to use so I can have it show on my computer. When the phone reboots everything is log of course. Can anyone suggest a program? Thanks

I have that but once the phone locks up I can't access it then it goes into reboot which wipes the log clean. Then all I get is the boot up sequence. I'm hoping someone knows of one that I can use via my usb cord or wifi to my computer that way I can hopefully capture it on the pc instead.

Can't remember off the top of my head, but look into adb commands.

I had thought about that but for some reason the adb shell will lock up my computer after a bit. I think it's a Windows Vista problem there.

Now when I first got my Incredible I had something like an SDK viewer? Darn I'm having one of those senior moments.

You're helping beta test too, eh? I'm Justin over there.
I'm not an Android developer, but would the files in /data/tombstone/ help? You can do an adb pull to get the file. With ddms you can browse and download files, but personally I can't get that to work in recovery...

Usb tether on aosp win xp

Hi all. Hey, can anyone give concise instructions for usb tether on aosp using Win XP?
I know you need a tetherxp.ini file. Turns out, I actually had that file floating around in my sd from some tinkering a long time ago. So I dropped the tetherxp file on my pc. But when I try the usb tether, windows wizard prompts me to find that file, but then wont seem to let me point to it or select it.
Just wondering what im doing wrong. Im back on sense now, cuz I really rely on usb tether, but would like to use aosp sometimes, too.
If anyone could help, I'd much, much appreciate it. (And yes, I have searched and googled already - just havebt found anything particularly helpful). Thanks.

Sorry, but...bump.
Not totally an impatient asshole, but am kinda surprised no one is familiar with this issue, or posting.
Been an xda member since '08, and this is only my 2nd thread, and have tried to help many.

built in usb tether in cmsettings should automatically on xp

The tether settings under Wireless and Networks, and the drivers should be in HTC sync, or the Android SDK. One of the two.

You guys are both incorrect. When USB tethering to win XP (specifically), from aosp. you have to have the terherxp.inf file.
Android even gives you a prompt saying you need it, but the instructions aren't clear at all.
Anyone familiar, please post. Thanks.
Thanks for the effort though.
@drmaycinasha
I already have the necessary file, just can't seem yo 'browse' to it. Thanks though
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

I'm assuming that these are the exact steps that you've tried?
Download the following configuration file (tetherxp.inf) to your Windows XP computer. Typically, you can right-click on the link and choose “Save As”. (If your browser appends .html to the file name, you will need to edit the name to remove the .html extension.)
Use the USB cable that came with your phone to connect your phone to your computer.
On the Android phone, press Home, press Menu, and touch Settings to open the Settings application.
Touch Wireless & networks > Tethering & portable hotspot.
Check USB tethering.
When Windows XP’s New Hardware Wizard opens, select No, not at this time and click Next.
Select Install from a list or specific location and click Next.
Click Browse to browse to the directory where you installed the configuration file you downloaded in Step 1 and click Next. Windows XP uses the configuration file to configure itself to support USB tethering with the Android phone.
When Windows XP finishes installing the software for Android USB Ethernet/RNDIS, click Finish.

Yeah how do you do this? None of th HTC or Google drivers work on XP. XP finds a device called "Android Phone". It works automatically on Windows 7 but not XP.

-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.

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.)

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.

How to connect Galaxy Nexus to linux pc

Hi all!
I just bought a Galaxy Nexus, and I've already a problem: how to connect it to my linux computer?
You know that ics use MTP protocol to interface with computers. Maybe it's good for windows users, but with ubuntu I can't let the phone be recognized by the pc. I tried this guide http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/ne6ud/mount_your_new_galaxy_nexus_from_the_unity/ but it doesn't work, when i click "mount galaxy nexus" it shows an error message ("the socked is not connected").
Can you help me, please?

Use airdroid or something similar. It will save you many hours of pain

You're right if you need to transfer just some files. But I've to transfer all my music (about 4/5 GB) and my photos and videos (about 1 GB). Using something like airdroid, I will die before it ends

I've already installed it, but it doesn't work. Almost, on ubuntu.
When I try to mount the phone it shows an error message.
Another question is: why, if i connect the phone using PTP protocol it works, the pc recognize the phone, but it seems to have just 700 MB of free memory? (realy there are more than 12 gb)

I ended up installing Windows 7 in virtual box. In the end it was easier to do that then to continue wasting time getting Ubuntu 11.04 to play the MTP game

Just installed mtpfs from source and it works fine...doesnt look like it will auto mount when you plug it in though.
this might help

I used this guide some month ago when I had a motorola xoom. Now if I try to mount my phone, it shows an icon named "xoom", but if I try to open it it shows this error message
(the message was in italian, i tryed to translate it in english but it's difficult)
Code:
[B]Impossible to show «/home/marco/Galaxy Nexus».[/B]
Error: Error in executing the file stat "/home/marco/Galaxy Nexus": the destination socket is not connected. Please chose another viewer (??) and try again
Edit: no, wait. I used another guide to connect the xoom to the computer, but I can't find it again. Anyway, if i try to follow the guide you linked, when I write
mtpfs mountpoint
the console shows this error message
fuse: bad mount point `mountpoint': No such file or directory

mtpfs mountpoint = mtpfs /whereyouwanttomount to
for instance i do
Code:
mtpfs Mounts/nexus
so you have to make the folder where you want to mount to
for instance in your shell, in your home folder
Code:
mkdir nexus
(by the way, it's best to avoid folder names that include spaces)
then to mount to that folder you'd do
Code:
mtpfs nexus
or if you're currently cd'd in a different folder
Code:
mtpfs /home/marco/nexus
simples
the guy in that post even did an example to show you a bit furthery down :|

I found gMTP works quite well, though I just recently switched from Gentoo to Arch and unfortunately gMTP isn't as stable as it was in Gentoo.

Grr...I don't have enough posts yet to post links but if you do a google search for:
omgubuntu galaxy mtp
The first link in the list is the guide I used and it works great.

http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/12/...eam-sandwich-phone-to-ubuntu-for-file-access/
this is what i used, because i like to do stuff myself. there is also a script if you like automated stuff. good luck

If anyone knows how to get it working on 10.04 let me know ;-)

I followed the instructions on the websites. It connects using MTP but only allows music playlists. Change the USB setting on the phone to Camera (PTP) and Ubuntu recognises the file system on the internal sd card.

I will try this

VirtualBox 4.3.6 troubleshooting

I'm trying to install Ubuntu and when I press start I can't seem to type in the command box. I get a FATAL: No bootable medium found! System halt. Then there's a VirtualBox information saying the right ctrl key is captured. When I uncapture it I still can't move my arrow. I'm using a laptop. Even downgraded to 3.1.8 and still a problem. Need help, thanks.
