[Q] Help Android on a Acer netbook

Sorry to trouble you all I have an HTC Desire and I liked it so much I purchased my wife a Acer one D250-0DQb which to Android and/or WIN7 but I cannot seem to add any apps to the Android part.
Can anyone guide me to a place where I can find a way to add add apps (Acer says you cannot)
Thanks
and sorry for the trouble
Sam

Is it not possible to download an apk and somehow use adb to install it? I think that way is possible.
Eph.

Can you explain a bit more please

Go to the themes and apps section and find a thread which contains an apk. Dowbload Astro file manager then try and install it

Rom Building for Ubuntu?

I'd like to try my hand at building a custom rom. I have an Ubuntu Laptop and an Evo and I really don't know where to start. I read that there was a Rom Kitchen that I could use, but I don't know where to get it or how to get it installed on UBuntu.
Additional Options
Thanks.

Hey, I'll help you out I was once in the same position and 20,00 pages and forums later that I came to conclusion that if you really want to use Android Kitchen by dsixda I recommend you use Cygwin for Windows, which is like a modified DOS with Linux Coding which works flawlesslly. Yes you could use Ubuntu but I tried doing so and I get many errors during cooking my roms. But its up to you, I'll provide the links to help you where to find guides on how to Install appropriate drivers, software to cook up some Roms.

Good luck

I'm going to second the kitchen thing but only to a point. It does handle some of the more annoying bits of putting a ROM together but I recommend you grab a stock rom, pull it apart, and try adding the changes that you want. Then flash, tweak, flash, etc.
I did this the other day with a stock HTC release. I learned a lot just about the general workings of the rom and all I was doing was basically dropping other people's tweaked frameworks and apps into it. After flashing about 15 times, I had a rom close to what I wanted with nothing I didn't.
That gets you started. Where you go from there is up to you. I hope to move from cut and paste rom assembling to doing some actual real development soon.

[Q] My own custom ROM from the scratch for studying purposes

First of all, I'm not a total newbie to this kind of stuff. I've already been creating firmwares for Different mobile Phones, some Linux-running routers and the Sony PSP, but this is my first try on Android.
At first I wanted to start off simply: compile the source on my Ubuntu and flash it - that's how I would start with any open-source 'from the scratch'-project. So I got repo, set it up and synced it, compiled it and created a zip with the rom kitchen to try if it even boots. Well it didn't (this is a bit more complicated than flashing a linux firmware to a router). Then I've taken a look a the update-script and modified it. The rom now installs successfully, but still doesn't boot. Wel my questions are:
1. Are there any guides on properly setting up the update-script? I didn't find anything, but maybe I didn't look in the right places.
2. I probably did everything wrong with the compiling. what are the options I get when I enter 'lunch' for? They should change settings for the compilation right? Am I good with the HTC passion option or do I need anything different?
Finally don't be angry because of my grammar/spelling, I'm from germany and don't get mad because of possibly 'noobish' questions, I promised I searched the forums and giyf.com

I too have searched for this with little to no success, so +1 on this...
Im also in need of a guide how to completely demolish/rebuild the update-script.
Someone who can point a finger?

Nobody? nothing?

[Q] andriunx? linux os on dhd? I've got a question!!!

seeing that I can't post in the dev thread here I am.... my question I posted on the puppy linux forums a few days ago. asking if there was some way of installing puppy on my dhd.I been a big fan of puppy and Barry Kauler s work with it being so low of a footprint on my computer cpu/ram and very small package size.now seeing that I can install linux I was wondering knowing that puppy isn't packed the same as most ISO's can I install it in the same matter as say ubuntu or do I need to take different steps to do so? thanks in advance

Not sure about linux versions but the only version i came across was ubuntu being able to run on android devices. You can search the tuts around if you're happy with ubuntu. Not sure about the puppy tho.

[Q] Installing KangBang 3.0

Hello XDA,
I've been following you for years. I started following you with my first Android phone, an HTC Hero. I've been very happy to be able to use a community ROM that made a far better experience than the stock ROM.
I recently got a brand new HTC One V PrimoU, and I'd like to make it my new polyvalent tool.
I'm not a noob in computers, kernel/linux related stuff, electronics, networking. I already tried some ROMs. In fact, I started with KangBang 3.0 (the same version as now I think), but both WiFi and BlueTooth were not working. Android could not even detected the WiFi MAC address, so I guess it was a driver or wireless chip firmware related problem. I think I was the only one affected, so it was maybe a bad flash or I used the wrong kernel. I did'nt investigate more at the time, but if it happens again to me, I'll send some system/kernel logs.
I then tried AOKP, had a great (really) experience with it, except that the Jack plug sound quality was awful. No bass, only mid/high tones. I even thought my speakers were dead at first, but then tried with headphones. Now, I want to try KangBang again, because that ROM was good, and fast, just missing WiFi.
TL;DR
I'd like to ask some precise questions about KangBang and the HTC One V.
I initially wanted to ask in the ROM dev thread, but can't since I'm a new user, so I ask here. Sorry if the questions are stupid/simple/answered, but let's make a clear base, with precise interrogations and answers, so that they will never be asked again
The kernel is included in the .zip file. Still, do we need to flash manually ? Or will the Aroma installer handle that ?
What about ROM Manager ? Is it recommended to use or is it a good way to brick a phone as I heard ?
Does this ROM change the base Android system and file structure ? Would it be compatible with a side-by-side installation of a Linux system such as Debian ? (To see what I mean by side by side installation of Linux, search Debian Kit for Android on Google, as I can't post links)
Also, I'd like to tell ROM makers these advices (don't take them bad, I you think I'm wrong about them there's no problem, just tell me why) :
It would not be a bad idea to give a simple statistic about the ROM : the load average with the ROM installed on an idle and clean phone. That would give a good indication of idle power consumption and ressource wasting.
I see that users reporting problems with their devices NEVER include any kind of debug information. Maybe you should ask for them, just because by searching for this debug information they might solve the problem themselves. Most Android systems and kernels report a LOT of information, that we can access with simple commands such as dmesg.
Last but not least, I would like to thank you, ROM developers and XDA users for allowing me to play this way with my phone, and to make it work exactly the way I want.
Hugo G.,

ummm this device has kangbang?? (btw questions go into q&a )
so i'll move onto the TL;DR which i was grateful for
1) The rom thread should say what kernel but yes, we don't have s-off so flashed manually
2) Ignore rom manager don't touch it
3) think of it as the differences say with debian vs ubuntu vs mint all basically debian but all with they're own differences (pros and cons)
also about the "suggestions" to the devs, that will NEVER go down well, why should YOU suggest to use what to put in the threads also i know in my threads i ASK for logcats time and time again...
hope this helps
if you need more info i'll be welcome to add more, but 1st i need sleep BADLY
