[Q] Install packages on ubuntu touch - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have just installed ubuntu touch on my Samsung galaxy s3 using the help of this link :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2315397
I am unable to post on that particular thread that's why i am creating a new thread here.
My question is : how to install any package on the ubuntu touch that I just installed??
Eg: say vim, or libcups....
I got the terminal.
When I try to install a package, sudo apt-get " " prompts for a password which I don't know.
Is there any other way to install packages? Do I have to create my own ubuntu build containing those packages and then install that on my phone??
Any help will be really great!
Thanks

Try "ubuntu" as the root password
...or "phablet"

You have to help people help you...I'm not gonna be helping cause I'm too busy with other stuff...but to save you some time get a log cat and upload it as an attachment for others or yourself to look at
Code:
adb logcat >logcat.txt
You must have the android SDK installed for adb to work

Screenshots in Recovery

Hi.
I would like to take Screenshots of the Recovery (CWM 6.0.2.7) running on my Galaxy S3. I installed the Android SDK, and taking screenshots works as long as the device runs normally. but as soon as i boot into recovery i can't take Screenshots anymore, even though my device is still recognized. But instead of "Offline" the monitor only shows three question marks next my devices name.
Has anyone a solution for this?
Thanks in advance,
loyonyart
Yes you can!!! Its very easy..
Just take another s3 and capture you recovery. -_-

If you don't have a PC handy just remove all the .odex files in your rom and reboot to recovery.
That's not DeOdexing... The odex files have information needed. So they have to be properly merged with the apk files.

He is aiming at applying a mod yes?
I know all the .odex files will regenerate upon boot. I was only suggesting an alternative possible method instead of having to use a PC on Linux to deodex and then flash the system again in order to make the classes.dex for each app.
The idea is that he gets rid of the app cache and other minor stuff in .odex to be regenerated to prevent any errors (hence classes.dex is more dynamic) and then flash the mod and upon boot .odex files would regenerate to the newly modified apks.
This is a method that in theory should work so in practice why can't we try aswell?
Most apks should still have a classes.dex even if ROM is ODEX (unless it was just my fate before to happen multiple times)

Yes, cygwin and dsixda. Its easy to set up.
Of course if he really wants a deodexed solution, my recommendation would be to flash an existing one.

You would need to download the full cygwin libraries (a couple of gigabytes) though because it will give the error for 'clear' command.
And the servers for it even on my 40mb/s downstream are only capable of downloading them in at least two hours.
For me it would be quicker to actually install Ubuntu lol. 5 Min download of not far over 700mb and a 30 min install period with updates.

Well it happened to me before I went on vacation exactly a month ago because I couldn't bother to keep booting into another OS just to change one thing or another. I had to download a couple of gigabytes of full cygwin package which made it work but then just removed it as it took too much space.

[Q] Upgrading to 4.4.2 and keeping root on Mac

Is there a way to upgrade to 4.4.2 MK2 and still keep root on a Mac without using Jodin or Heimdall?

Just use Towelroot. It's an app that you install and doesn't require a PC, Mac, or anything else.

Visit the website with your phone and tap the lambda in the middle of the screen out well download an apk.
Install the app then run it and tap "make it rain"
After your phone reboots you should have root.
You might need to go to the play store and install supersu but I can't remember if it installs it automatically or not.

Oh ok sorry. The only way to do it in a mac is heimdall or jodin.
You might could do it running Windows via parallels but I have been told that is very risky to use Odin over a virtual machine.
I would find a friend or relative with a Windows machine or just use the only two options for Mac.

I tried to use Heimdall but it won't open the tar.md5 file. I'm downloading Java 8 so maybe Jodin will work now. Surprisingly, all my friends just use their smart phones as a computer. I'm the only tech nerd out of the bunch
Thanks again
All solved. This thread can be closed.
