[Q]Getting start with android - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

Hey everyone, I've been meaning to get into android development for a good amount of time. I do somewhat know java (used to know it a lot better, but, use it or lose it...), but I can't seem to get Eclipse running (see the picture for were I get stuck at). I wanted to start out by going through Google's "My First App" tutorial, found here. I can't seem to get through setting up my first project though. I did download the newest ADT package from Google's servers and do have Android 4.0+ SDKs downloaded and installed, along with the tools and extras too. I am using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64bit too. Any help would be great! Also the "Install/Upgrade" and "Check again" buttons do nothing. I believe I have the newest things and have the newest ADT, but I still can't find what to update.

I'm no pro at this but judging by the message you need to pull the dependencies from your phone thru adb. I could be way off though. Lol
it's so nice to see hockey back on tv...

[Q] Setting up the Android SDK

Quick question - I'm hoping to start a bit of Android development this winter, and I'm setting up everything right now.
I have an EVO 4G, and if I want to test my apps on my device rather than in the AVD - will I have to make sure the I have the project running on the same platform as my device?
ie: When I go to install the platforms via the SDK Manager (Trying to save space as I'm on a 60GB SSD) should I make sure that I install whatever my phone is running (2.3.7 with CM7 right now) or lower, or will things still work if I go higher?
Thanks!

Well you're gona have to make app compatibility..so if you're only gona use it in gingerbread, you can do that, but if you use ICS, ect, you'll probably run into errors. So like when you see "____ app doesn't have ICS compatibility" yet, that is the reason.

1.1 Firmware mirror for NST

So I just picked up a nook simple touch and am eager to root it, I've done plenty with Android on phones, never an ebook though. I've been reading the material here and had a couple questions.
1.) It looks like 1.1 firmware is needed for most of the roots here, however B&N only lists 1.2 currently. Does anyone have a mirror to 1.1 or tell me how to get that, currently I'm on 1.0.1
2.) If I can't get 1.1 are there any roots that will work for 1.2? I've been following the thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346748 and it looks like it only works from 1.1 by the sound of it.
3.) Is everyone or anyone using the NoRefreshToggle? If so what do you think? Is it worth trying it out? Dangers of using it? When you toggle it off do you get greyscale back? From the sounds of the post, it's pure black and white with it on which is fine if when I disable it, it goes back to normal greyscale images.
4.) Did anyone find out how to turn off page animations in the kindle app? not a big deal, just wondering.
Thanks a lot, look forward to trying this out.
Here's a copy of nook_1_1_update.zip I pulled down from B&N a few weeks ago: http://www.mediafire.com/?h5kn1214gfjhkcg In the end I didn't need it, so I can't confirm how the upgrade works (the instructions said just put the file within the zip on an SD card and reboot)

Thanks for the link
Thanks for the 1.1 post link, however I updated to 1.1.2 and followed the instructions and everything seems to be ok, I can get email, install from the market place, only thing I can't do is search the market. A search just lists a blank page and doesn't find any apps, any ideas.
As for the Kindle question, after installing kindle app and seeing the performance, this isn't a big deal at all.
Still curious on the refresh toggle however, any ideas on that, have you guys tried it out? I may post there if I don't hear back.
Thanks

I have checked and as you said market search functionality is absent, it seems to be broken since the Googleplay thing.
As a way to regain it, in the mean time we get an updated market working, install Searchmarket.
The NorefreshToggle is still in early stages, but works quite well for webpages, etc.
Try it, there are no risks on it, on any program when you enable the app it will work, and when you go into a menu it will return to normal grayscale.

How do I install Searchmarket if I can't search the market for it lol ... Do I have to install it on my phone first, then transfer the apk over to the NST, then file browse and install it from /system/app ?
I tried NoRefreshToggle, it's interesting, like you said a work in progress ... Tried it with GReader unfortunatly it shuts off between Feed view and Article view which is a pain, but I think that's probably to avoid ghosting.
As for web page viewing, Opera Mini FCs on me everytime I open it, as does the stock browser, so I haven't been able to try browsing as of yet Still looking for a solution to that one.
Thanks for all the info, really enjoying the NST if NoRefreshToggle keeps getting better this could really be a killer device

I just use the Google Play website to initiate installs to the nook (it appears in my device list as "phone")
The included Opera Mini installation never worked for me (no FC nothing). In the end I fixed it by uninstalling and reinstalling.

So are you saying you are on 1.1.2 rooted and enjoying it?
Should I downgrade to 1.1.1 and root or just go ahead with 1.1.2?
I can't wait to try this out.

I can't speak to the upgrade patch from 1.1.1, I bought my NST yesterday, it had 1.0.1 on it, I upgraded to 1.1.2 then followed the rooting instructions for 1.1.0 or was it 1.1.1 can't remember, in any case, after rooting everything seems to be working just fine

It was 1.1.0, there was no 1.1.1
Is there any risk upgrading to 1.1.2 from 1.1.0? Would I have to reinstall google apps &c? Did anything change in between 1.1.0 and 1.1.2? (I have heard that they may have fixed the WiFi issues that were plaguing me a few months ago.)

The rooting method for glide at&t version

it wont let me post my question on that thread, so please don't get mad at me for asking here.
in the tutorial, it says to put the phone in download mode and launch odin3, okay, i have done all those steps and not done anything different.
It's connected and odin3 isn't doing anything after i press start, is this because i need the android sdk? if so, is there something more i should have as well? I am fairly new to this, just bought the phone off amazon, works nice, hate that I cant delete the bloatware and not loving the idea of CarrierIQ on it. Its taking forever to do anything and i am sure its not the computer, octacore amd fx processor, 8gb ram, windows 7 64-bit ultimate edition.. just need to understand and it sucks we cant ask a question directly on the topic at hand for us new to the site, but i can understand that it must get old answering the same questions over and over, specially if no one bothers to read.
many thanks to those who are willing to help.
nevermind, i got it.. the next time anyone else has this problem.. yes, you must have adb somehow to issue commands for this install.
I was not sure if odin3 1.85 had it compiled into it or not, I'm not a developer, but I do test what I can.
anyways for those who also have the issue for path variables for installation of android software development kit, make sure you have the Java se jdk installed and read the readme guide that comes in the doc folder where you installed your jdk to. it explains what you gotta do to have android sdk install properly.
afterwords, you will want to install android sdk. make sure to install it into the c:\ root so you can access it easily. once installed, go to your start menu and run the android sdk app, this will open a launcher and you want to install platform-tools, as well as Google USB drivers as a precautionary act.
I would also recommend using Samsung kies2 to install your drivers for your phone as it seems to always get that right for my installs.
one more little thing, if you can't find the manual that installed the Java SE JDK, Google "Java jdk enviroment variable how to"
you might also add the following in your "PATH" environment variable, no spaces and keep all data there as is, just paste this in and modify the installed location to your android sdk.
;C:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools;C:\AndroidSDK\tools
now just click okay and your all set to use adb everytime, as long as you add it all right. I'LLC touch up this file after work as I am on my phone or this would be easier LOL.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I927 using the XDA mobile application.
Never once have I had to have andriod sdk to use anything on odin.. maybe u needed the drivers installed first and sdk put them there for u if the didn't come ripped from the phone
I didn't think I would have to, but it made me this time and I dunno why. Like I said I'm no developer, but it seems like a lot of crap just to get adb running and I've always had Odin come with adb. I dunno. But thank you for this, maybe worth looking into deeper..
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I927 using xda app-developers app
I used kies for the drivers and I had to use adb, but never the whole sdk.
I used to own the older captivate which lead me to purchase this one because I loved my captivate. I also have owned a Motorola Droid milestone, Motorola Droid, Samsung intercept and, Samsung galaxy s captivate. All had to use adb to be rooted and unlock/recover at one point in time or another..
Maybe Odin just comes precomiled like previously stated? Again, thank you.

How to root a Kurio Tablet v.4.0.3

Hi there,
I registered here today hoping you guys could help me out. I bought my daughter a tablet called Kurio. Its Android v. 4.0.3 and I would like to Root it but regular google searches and occational YouTube-videos confuses me rather then helping out.
kurioworld.com .... check out this website to get a closer look on the tablet, and perhaps come up with a solution ?
As the Tablet runs today its not compatible with a lot of games, and im not able to connect the device to Google Play Android App store.
Thx for reading the post, I really hope you can help me out.
Regards

I also got the Kurio for my daughter today and got quite mad when I noticed that Google Apps wasn't there. I guess they havent been approved by google or something. I can't see any other reason why google apps is left out.
I tried the alternative market (1Market) but the first thing I saw when I opened it was a porn app. So I removed it quickly. Then I tried installing Amazon appstore. Worked well but I'm not allowed to buy apps here in Norway. Quite irritating.
Finally i found a way to get apps from Google Play into the Kurio. This requires that you have another rooted android device with gapps:
1. Install Shark App backup & restore on your second android device.
2. Install the apps you need.
3. Back up the apps you want placed on the Kurio with the Shark app
4. Remove SD Card from your phone/tablet/whatever and insert it into the Kurio
5. Enter Android mode on the Kurio, open the File Manager, navigate to /sdcard/AppManagerProMax
6. "click" on the apk's you want to install.
Works like a charm. My daughter will be happy to see minecraft PE on her Kurio in the morning.
I did this on a HTC Sensation with CM10.

Hi there,
Thx for taking the effort to give me a possible solution. Unfortunately I dont access a rooted phone, so there you go
Btw, I`m from Norway to, so I guess we are stuck in the same boat here. I tried amazon myself, but as we discovered ...
As for now, Piratebay is by far the best "shop", most of the files there actually works fine with the Kurio.
Plz dont hesitate to contact me if we could find solutions to this problem.
Actually it might be better to use email ..... we could even speak Norwegian ,
You can reach me at stigolsen(alfakrøll)gmail.com.
I think I will give Kurio a couple of weeks tops, before I put out an Ad at Finn.no. Right now I would much rather own the Nexus 7 to be honest.
Cheers

Simply contact costumerservice through the website kurioworld.com. I asked for a way to root the Kurio, instead they sent me a zipfile with content needed to get the Google store without rooting.
Came with instructions, and whole thing was done in 5 minutes. No hassle, everything just works flawless. Finally the Kurio seems worth keeping.
The name of the file is : Install_google_play_allwinner.rar

Ok.. The hacker in me just woke up. He has been dormant for 15+ years.
I got the file from the Kurio guys at the same time as I got your email. And the script worked.
During the script output I noticed that it said "Removing root" or something. That means that the script roots the device, installes Gapps (including Google Play) and then removes root.
The script is a simple .bat file with a bunch of adb commands. I found in clear text how to root the device. When i get the time I will write up an article on how to root the Kurio.
Then I will start figuring out how to get another Recovery installed on the device. From there on, who knows, maybe I will try getting Jelly Bean compiled for the device.
I might also try to retrieve the Kurio interface and see if I can get it to work on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2.
I will put the file up for download as soon as I find a hosting service I don't have to pay for. Any recommendations? Sadly it's too big to upload as an attachment here.

Hi again,
Great u got it working ! Suddenly the Kurio is kinda worth keeping right ?
An article about rooting the device would be great, and Jelly Bean would be so cool.
As for uploading the file I have used filefactory(dot)com before, take a look there ..
I suggest we keep future progress in this thread, I do belive a lot of people will find this useful as we make more progress in weeks to come.

I have applied for a developer account on goo.im. If I get approved that will be where the files are put.
And the tablet is definetely worth keeping now. A couple of apps doesn't work, but with root we can probably fix that.

Hello
They are having a sale, where i live today and tomorrow. I can get it with 25% off. My kids prefer tablets instead of there Nintendo's. Is it really worth the purchase? Do you know if it can run subway surfers? And last some sites says it has a dual core processor others says single core. Another is doubt about the ram being 1 gb or 512 mb.
Thanks
Hello
I bought two for my 5 year okd kids. The Kurio is going to replace there Nintendo's. I installed the market, using your uploaded files, thank's. It seems like that it only removes the superuser program. And that it leaves the device permanently rooted. I can use both root explore and titanium backup. Most games I installed, runs ok including subway surfer.
Hey guys, can one of you with a rooted tab, maybe release a full backup? I am wanting to try maybe port the launcher over to work on any tablet?..
thanks

could you please post a download link for that google play file again.... the one you have post now times out

Google assistant is part of LinageOS..??!!

Hi all..
I have been using LinageOS for quite a while now, I love it and applaud those that have worked so hard to make such a wonderful OS.
But the main reason for using it is so I can avoid google. I have just installed Linage-18.1-20211113-nightly-beryllium-signed (I did not use the GAPPS package) and when I checked the installed apps/system, there is 2 google assistant apps.
I also rooted my mobile before installing Linage using magisk-v23-0 and disable-force-encryption=-treble, this was done through TWRP 3.3.0.0 beryllium. I mention these in case there is a possibility of these google apps coming from there, but have searched on the net and can find no evidence of this..
Anyone know anything about this? If Linage is now including google apps I am going to have to find another OS, and I really do not want to..!
Cant seem to get these google assistant apps off my phone (POCO f1). Tried every wipe I could do in TWRP, tried a port of CalyxOS, nothing will shift them.. Even when I 'force halt' they just switch themselves on again in a few minutes..
Going to try going back through the LinageOS versions and see if there is one that doesnt have them.
Nobody have an idea of how to get rid of these?
It's definitely weird, very weird (and hard to believe, if I may say so).
Using LOS ever since and never ever had such thing happening. Sometimes even putting gapps on it to try something with GSF...
Did you do a proper re-install from the scratch, just like by the book?
https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/beryllium/install
Other than that, perhaps try asking in
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-official-lineageos-18-1-weeklies-for-xiaomi-poco-f1.4188235/
Hi SigmundDroid (cool handle)
Have now tried E Foundation too, every wipe I could do in TRWP, nothing will shift them, they activate a few minutes after I 'force stop' them..
Am now trying to find a way of doing a full format of the partitions as these files are like viruses..
E Foundation forum folk are also a bit startled by this, think they would like to know how to remove the files as part of the install procedure, me too..!!
Just found this;
https://pastebin.com/bf9Hh4RH
3rd and 4th line down.
When I look at the google assistant apps, the first one shows at the bottom of the screen under ‘advanced’;
Version 11
com.android.hotwordenrollment.okgoogle
The second one shows;
Version 11
com.android.hotwordenrollment.xgoogle
Not 100% sure how to use those lines, but they look to be adb commands… Any idea anyone?
Similar thread from 2017: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/google-assistant-on-lineage-os.3566187/
Of possible relevance is that it's what does the transfer of accounts and settings from your old phone in newer Android versions. I don't plan on using Google Assistant generally, but it was very handy that the Lineage setup hooked into it for transferring accounts and stuff from my "old" phone.
Ah, the plot thickens..
I do get that some folk are ok with google, but not me.. Would still very much like to get rid of them. Also, those that are making google-free roms would no doubt want them gone too, can hardly be google-free with those hiding deep in the moby..
Did you clear the system partition? Some ROM install packages run an addon.d script to retain Gapps and other stuff. Of course LineageOS does not contain any Google stuff, only AOSP. So there is just another logical explanation for this. If you want to be sure, look in the LineageOS image yourself.
Apologies.. Looks like I had not made it clear, I do not now think Linage, or Calyx or E-foundation have google assistant in them.. They seem to be remnants on the phone, probably from the original rom.
But they will not easily be removed and so remain regardless of which custom rom subsequently ends up on the phone.
Am hoping someone way smarter than me can work out how to get rid of them, also hoping it will help others achieve the same..

Hmm, there is not much of an explanation what it does - looks like uninstalling a lot of bloatware.

Which ones? (you can do screenshots in TWRP with power + vol down)
I guess we can assume you did the mandatory
Now tap Factory Reset, then Format data / factory reset and continue with the formatting process

One other thing: it can also be the product partition. Gapps are normally included in the product image in the original firmware. Did you wipe that one as well?
Its still in LOS 19.1 , despite years of complaints. Starting to look like they keep it in there on purpose, no option to uninstall, disable is greyed out..... SKETCH!
Same for Lineage 20 on my OnePlus 7T Pro. "google free" system ...
Is there an explanation somewhere why the apps are permanently and indelibly integrated? Why is there almost nothing about this on the net?
The .apks are 100% in the lineage images. You can verifiy this by yourself, if you want.
They are located in the product.img under priv-app.
