"A tool to manage your rooted android device with the simplicity of Windows Explorer"
I just saw this on download squad, its an app for windows that lets you amongst other things Install/Uninstall APK files right from explorer, Paste files from local clipboard to device, Flash Recovery Image, Control your android device with your mouse and keyboard.... and many more.
I havent tried it yet but it requires root + busybox. Its still in beta but it looks very promising.

What is that link all about !!
Clicked on it using my phone browser and the full screen went red with lines running vertically along the screen and froze my phone had to pull the battery.
Can you check it and delete if necessary.

Hey I was wondering if it is possible to install debian, unbuntu, etc over top of android, and if so how to go about that. I saw on twitter a someone said it could be done, but i have my doubts and that is why i am asking
It's possible but its not a full blown OS and its kind of useless since desktop GUIs usually don't scale down well to smartphone size. The way that it is done now is you setup a chroot environment and boot up ubuntu in the chroot and then use vnc to connect to one of your local ports. AFAIK its slow.as hell.

Hey all. I decided to release the raw files for the Search to Recent mod. I am still working on getting the flashable zip to work, but I've dragged you all on long enough to get this released.
NOTE: Make sure to do a backup of your current ROM. I take no responsibility for what this may do to your phone.
This was built using the Andro ICS repo. I have not tried it on the pure CM9 build, but I would assume it works as Andro is also based on CM9. Additionally, this only rebinds the touchscreen search key. The hardware keyboard search key remains search.
Here are the two files:
android.policy.jar
atmel-touchscreen.kl
To install these files, mount /system through recovery and use adb to push the files to the appropriate locations.
/system/framework/android.policy.jar
/system/usr/keylayout/atmel-touchscreen.kl
Unmount /system, reboot and that is it.
EDIT: Thanks to the wonderful work of gee one, a working flashable zip is now available! (Be sure to give him so "thanks" lovin for helping out) If any issues are encountered, please let me know and I will help out where I can.
Enjoy!
I sent you PMs
Got it. Testing it now and will let you know in the next 10.
Works great! Loving having an actual use for the search button!

Anything come of this?
Still working on it. I've been going back and forth with Powers in PMs about it. My android.policy file is causing a boot loop. I had to take a break on it for the past few days to reconfig my server, but I hope to start working on it again tonight, or this weekend.
Hello. Can you build this patch for andromadus audacious beta 2? for now, it works, device boots, but some menus and stuff linked with android.policy.jar is corrupted. I flashed only .kl file, it makes search button to bring up old-style recents menu - may be useful, too.
Yeah I found this didn't work a few days ago when I upgraded to B2. I never even was able to complete this for the Droid 3. After I got my server back up and running I just haven't had a whole lot of time to sit down and work on it. I don't work my second job this weekend, so maybe I can sit down saturday and knock it out.
thanks for answer =)
Also, is it necessary to patch up android.policy.jar? Is long press of "home" button is being handled in that file?
I tried to find some manuals about android key event handling this in the internets, but i only got .kl\.kcm editing manuals.
It is necessary to patch the android.policy as just changing the kl file brings up the 2.3 app switcher. I would assume that the home long press is handled differently and cannot be bound in the same functions without the file change.
Can u make this for sense 3.0 rom?

Steven How, you can just change your atmel-touchscreen.kl
can anyone make a patch for andromadus? thx
seems that there are bugs flashing the zip in andromadus rom
I'm having issues getting the repo to sync, but I've been working on it.
I keep feeling like I've been letting you all down. If anyone wants to go ahead with this, by all means, please do.

I have a windows 7 machine. Will also like some info on building from source.
Most important things would be at least TWO apk managers (I have 4). I would reccomend ptmr3's deviant manager and wanam apk manager. Also get 7-zip and winrar. Sometimes, on aosp ROM's usually, 7-zip has a "term info bug". Use winrar when this happens. You'll also need notepad++ and apktool. Apktool is for Smali editing. Finally, get an apk/zip signing application.
Some people might use this while others, like me, don't. You might want to have the kitchen handy for some simple tasks. I personally hate the kitchen because it just makes simple stuff so complicated.
You'll definitely need the SDK and Samsung adb drivers. And I would recommend using Linux over windows and avoid osx. I hope I didn't lose you here lol.

If you are currently running Windows, I would suggest spending some time getting familiar with Ubuntu, and deciding on a dual boot install or running it through a virtual machine.
I dual boot Ubuntu Linux 64bit because it is much faster than compiling within a virtual machine.
There are a couple good how to get started guides around if you search something like how to build CM10, or a similar query.
If you are ready to commit, i would suggest building something easy such as CyanogenMod. To begin you'll find yourself working in a terminal window for the majority of the time, and learning to navigate and debug using terminal commands. All this can seem a bit daunting at first, but you'll get the hang of it in no time.
This guide here is a good place to start. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1971645 but stop after the command ". build/envsetup.sh".
After that command you'll want to build for Hercules (our device)! In which case you would then say "lunch" and pick the corresponding number beside Hercules. After that you can say "mka otapackage", which will begin the build!
Everything should go smooth from there. Once it has finished you will find your ROM in /cm10/out/target/product/hercules.

Sometimes you need to install third party drivers to support your hardware, as Linux is open source it does not include the drivers which are closed source.
You'll find this with many things in Linux. Go ahead and try to play a DVD for an example of some of the hoops you'll have to jump through

The folks over at Socketeq have released WindowsAndroid. It runs natively on your Windows machine, meaning that there is no need for emulation. WindowsAndroid runs on the Windows kernel, instead of the Linux kernel. Currently they are on Android v4.0.3. It's compatible with Vista, Win7, and Win8. Keyboard and Mouse are fully supported. This is the early release, so there might be some bugs.
Normally download is hosted on Socketeq's website, but right now the site is down due to heavy loads. Here is and alternate link if your interested:

It's interesting, runs pretty smooth, but no gapps and doesn't appear to have an emulated sdcard. Ill mess with it more later and see what I can figure out.
Thanks for reupping the file.

OpenGL is integrated into you Video Card drivers. When was the last time you updated your drivers?

I cant update them from the intel site it scans my pc and that it it says pc scanned succusfully or something but that i cant get them from that place or something isnt there any frweeware that updates it.
I've tried it quickly.
It "works" but I can't do anything great by now.
I copied a personal APK in the app storage (on the C drive). My app appears, I'm able to launch it, but when I try to made modification in it, it finaly crash.
I hope there will be new release, and also the possibitlity to use the Play Store !
how do you get it run ? I ran the exe and a console open , then a windows popups and then the whole thing just crashes leaving me at the command prompt
Quick note, if you download an ICS Gapps and unzip it, the copy the apks from system/app/ to the system/app/ in the folder where you installed WindowsAndroid then restart WindowsAndroid you will have gapps (Market, etc). However the available apps are very limited (build.prop edit might fix that), and I personally get an error any time I try to download an app.

This emu would completely outmode all the Android mini PCs on their way, that's why.
Oh, and recent ignorant government intervention re: rooting.
