like i want to run nvpy can i just install as i do native like on a ubuntu
many thanks

i change to and remounted RW
and did update and upgrade all worked fine but killed my dual boot
so if i did RW and then update
and installed say lifeograph would it install that package and be useable from the repository?

Did you upgrade using the system settings update mechanism? That won't be blocked and the update will seem to work, but things will break after some time, just like your dual boot, especially when you start installing custom packages.
Theoretically, the application should work, but you're going to have to set up XMir properly to run X applications. If you are interested in doing that, the guy who made this video is the one who can tell you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3PUYoa1c9M
This video may be helpful, too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfMLzlki9XE
AND you'll have to install the devel-proposed channel as stable/rtm doesn't contain the necessary software yet.
I got root write - updated and upgraded and it killed my nexus 5 install basicaly wrote over the boot sector I think !
Can I not get a chroot for ubuntu apps I have on ubuntu and would they run? For example lithograph?
Ill take a look I've installed the sdk to test as well I'm certain these apps will get added soon scopes are great but being able to install ubuntu apps like lifeograph and other apps would be amazing.. Is this on the cards or do the developers have to release the touch apps version ?

I'm sorry for you killing your boot sector. Were you able to set up everything again?
I tried the chroot method some time ago but you still need to install the necessary packages for that using apt-get. So you need a writable system again...
You could, however, try to package the apps as a click package yourself. I've never tried that and I don't know of anyone who did, but if you ship xmir and the application in a click package, it should work.
I just had to reinstall and re-root was good really because got it set up right now.
I'm did a emulated rw and compiled lifeograph from source that it might work but it wont connect to mir using cmake there must be a use flag or ill look are cross compiling maybe.. Does it create a click package or a deb ? Ill take a poke around in apt cache to look at packages already cached from install

Great that you got it sorted out.
There's a trick to get the app working on Mir: Lifeograph is an app for the X window system. To make it run with Mir, there's a software called Xmir. Check out whether it's in the repos. If not, the source code should be online somewhere.
The app is probably going to compile as a debian package though. Either you stay with your phone in rw mode or you look into packaging it as a click package. The latter might be a little bit more difficult.

We've updated a bit....

We now have a complimentary app on the app store for this A4D App.
What is A4D?
The goal of A4D is for us to move beyond just N1 make it an all in one flashing/upgrading/android utility. We just added a ROM library with MD5s. We are not going to be hosting the actual ROMs by themselves so if you report a dead link, they will be taken down (after a number of reports). You can also add your own ROMs as well into the library.
The ROM library will be supported by both Android and Desktop App. We are rewriting the Desktop apps so that we can do all 3 platforms in one, Linux, Windows, and Mac. You'll love the layout of the app. That's all we can say for now.
Oh one more thing. The android app won the best android app award at the Mobile in the Middle Hack-a-thon over the weekend in Chicago (on 3/6/2010).
I would like you guys to try out the app and tell us feedbacks. Also feel free to add your own ROMs to the Database and tell us how we can make the DB better. There a number of features we are trying to add as well. But with our full time jobs... things are going a little slower than we wanted. Sorry.
Requirements to run the app on Android: Amon_RA's recovery. That's what we tested it with.

Reserved for Future Updates / Changelog
Can't wait to see if this is fool proof.
Add md5 check. Make it in this way: user have to enter/copy-past md5 hashsum from forum/site. Program calculates md5 of image and says image is good or bad. Also you can disable flashing with out this check. ;-)
good idea. Will do that. That will help with flashing screwed up downloads.
Hi
Thank you for sharing the application.
Does it flash the radio too? I mean CyanogenMod has two files a radio ROM and a CyanogenMod ROM. Does it flash both of them to the phone?
Thanks.
Radio flash is in there we took it out. May do so in the next release but radio flashing is dangerous (can brick phones) so...
Hey Lwin,
Nice concept man, this is gonna prove very handy for many peeps.
You've come up trumps again
So, this is a desktop application?
Does it flash ROM's from your desktop or copy them over and just run the commands on the phone for you?
I ask, as I'm having some problems flashing now, based round a slightly faulty Micro SD card. Does it store backups on the phone or on your desktop PC?
This program is written so you don't have to do command line commands. Everything else remains the same. If you are doing a Nand backup, it goes where it used to go.
I would recommend fixing your "slightly faulty Micro SD card" by getting a new card.
nice app for those that aren't familiar with cmd or jus pure...lazy lol
maybe the screens should be bigger as quite hard to see clearly whats available.
Pure Genius...

Here is the GUI tool for unlocking, updating, restoring, flashing of the N1 (and in theory should work on all HTC androids).

install issues
I tried to install it but got a system update required....
extracted the sdk to the folder C:\android-sdk-windows
extracted android4dummies and clicked setup
I get a pop up with the following:
unable to install or run the application. the application requires that system assembly system.data, entry version 3.5.0.0 be installed in the global system cache.....???
What do I do now?
Sounds like the app uses .NET framework 3.5.
So goto microsoft website an get 3.5 .Net Framework.

You do need .Net 3.5. It should have asked you, if not installed that as a prerequisite.
I went to MS and downloaded the .net 3.5 installed it (apparently it was already on my pc, so instead of installing I tried to repair it. no success....

Do not unzip into C:\android-sdk-windows. App will install SDK or search for the SDK there.
Unzip on your desktop or temp and install from there.
just to be clear, I unzipped adroid sdk and placed in the mentioned location. the android4dummies is extracted on the desktop and executed from there..
so should I remove the SDK and retry?
Hi! I have been using touch for some weeks on my nexus 4 now and it is working all-right for me. Unfortunately i cannot update install / remove apps any more. When i try to update the apps via the system settings nothing happens. When i try to download an apps via app store it says cannot download. Removing "seems" to work but when done - the app is still there - even after reboot. Can anyone help me? Would be great!
Ah another thing - adb shell was working fine but stopped working as well - i get "device not found" now...
I think the File-System might be read only?
You need to re-add your Ubuntu One account and installing apps will work again.
To use adb you need to enable the developer mode in System Settings > About phone > Developer Mode.

That worked, thank you. Why doesn't sudo apt-get update work?
@Xinthose Due to the way system updates are done, "apt-get" doesn't work for now. Since they, however, plan to use the same update method for the desktop in the future, they will at some point have to add apt-get support. They already talked about how that would be done on the ubuntu-phone mailing list some time ago.

---------- Post added at 05:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:32 PM ----------
Just forgot something: You can actually make apt-get work (and everyone working on the core system components actually has to do that to test their changes) but that breaks system updates.
To do so you need to make the image writable (look for the how-to on the Ubuntu for phones installation page). You can flash back to a non-writable image later but that always comes with the risk of data loss. So it's definitely not recommended for anyone who is not a developer!

OK, thank you. To make the phone work exactly like Ubuntu would be nice. What is the password for sudo / su ?
@Xinthose Just enter your device passcode/passwort.

I have been trying for a few weeks to install kali linux on my lg g3. So far with no luck I have tried every guide on the internet but all have failed me can someone give me a detailed walkthrough on how to do so? my sd card is formatted and partitioned to fat32. I wish to install kali to the second 14 gig partition I made and named ext2. my phone is rooted with busy box installed it is the lg g3 S990 runing stock rom 5.0.1
anyone have any experience with this?
Here are some screen shots

I don't think that you can..... They don't offical support it and there is a lot of things you have to take into effect. For example kernel, arm version, and hardware, wifi chips, touch screen drivers and a WHOLE LOT MORE!.

Then I guess the nexus 7 is your best guest unless you get something like a Samsung S2 and put it in monitor mode and use aircrack-ng. Also the raspberry pi thing is pretty good if your like pretty handy you can wire up a battery, pi, and screen then just use a wireless keyboard.

You can install kali linux on linux deploy and run with android VNC
I am running with linux deploy it on my AT&T 3g.
Im pretty sure your problem is in your configuration on preferences. Generally the SD is formatted to FAT which has maximum image file size 4095 MB. So pretty much if you want kali tools then hypothetically you could reformat your SD or external to ext4. There is also a permissions problem because of the image location. Here's how I got around it for now, I just started altering this phone 2 days ago so I'll keep you updated if you want. I moved the environment location to a folder in SD and it has consistently held up to 6000MB which is plenty for the os, necessary additions and a few fun kali tools.
Here's my mini pictorial, it's only my second post so maybe this will help.
Just do the settings like mine, Wait forever while it installs then after it finishes hit reconfigure. It takes a couple of minutes to reconfigure then you press start and wait until it's finished loading, press your home button, open VNC, make sure your port is 5900 and default password is "change me"
Open up a terminal and type "sudo su" make a password, update and make sure you have fun.
When you're finished go back to linux deploy, press stop and then use the menu button to exit the app
hi folks,
i am waiting for my mx4 and i have some questions
from what i ve read, as long as fs is rw we can apt-get install
but something puzzle me, can t find any example of ppl using aircrack or similar on ubuntu touch, isn t it possible?
thx for your time
Yes, you can install packages using apt-get when your system image is in writable mode. However, being in rw mode also means that you shouldn't install any system updates as they might break your installation. Therefore, you always have to roll back to read-only mode when a new image is available and reinstall all debian packages. You might understand that this can get quite annoying after some time.

thx @nikwen wonder in how long we ll have distro like kali getting ported to ubuntu touch, would be great!
so if i have understoud, what ever i install in rw, once i roll back to r only and update i loose it all correct? but on other hand if i am happy with my phone why upgrade
@nocomp Yes, you'll loose everything you have installed. However, since updates are comming only once per months, you could try writing a simple script which backs up your application data and another one which installs all software again and restores your data. That way it would be easy to upgrade your phone.

Hey everyone!
I know that one of the biggest barriers for completely ditching my MacBook Pro for my Pixelbook was the ability to use ADB and fastboot (upgrading Android versions, flashing TWRP, factory resetting). ADB and fastboot are installed on later versions of Chrome OS; unfortunately, these versions are too old for devices like the Pixel 2 (XL) and there isn't a ton of information on how to get them updated and working properly.
As such, I created an installation script that will push the latest versions of the platform tools to the local binary directory and install a small wrapper script so you can use the commands as you normally would. The scripts should be fairly easy to read if you have a basic understanding of the command line, I have commented them so it's clear what is going on.
The installation script can be used to install the tools for the first time as well as upgrading to newer version as they come out. The changelog for each version can be found here.
Please see the README for the full instructions and let me know if you have any questions, enjoy!
On Chrome OS Canary version 69 on an ARM CPU, ADB and Fastboot are both installed by default.

fastboot doesn't report version but adb is 1.32 which is old. I don't know how recent adb was added to Chrome OS but I am sure I have used them in the past. I have lived in Canary for the last 2 years so I have no idea whether it was a Canary thing or widely available within developer mode.
Another option since you are in developer mode is Crouton and install a fullish version of Linux. adb does work within a Crouton session. Even if I was to update the version installed in Chrome OS, I would need to reinstall it every day since Canary is updated daily and sometimes two or three times a day. Even stable can be updated mid-cycle so you could get caught with the outdated one at an inopportune time.

For me personally, I bought a Chromebook for Chrome OS, not the hardware, so Crouton wasn't really an option.
You don't need to reinstall these as they are in /usr/local/bin so they're not touched during a Chrome OS upgrade.
I don't think I understand "Crouton wasn't really an option". Crouton is a simple script that installs various versions of Linux desktops that run alongside Chrome in a chroot. Probably any Chromebook made can install Crouton. The only thing required is to be in developer mode, which you are. I choose to run my sessions in a tab but it can be a separate window. Not much you can't install and run in these sessions.

Would help if I actually did proper research into Crouton :silly:thanks for the clarification, I'll have to check it out soon
Crouton was developed by a Google employee. You can create a pretty complete development environment. An i7 and 16 GB RAM are becoming more and more appealing.

Hello!
First off I would like to thank you very much for making this installation script! I've been waiting the whole time since I bought my Chromebook about 3 weeks ago for somebody to post a script to install ADB/fastboot since the recent added support of the 2 to ChromeOS. ADB/fastboot support is the entire reason why I bought this Chromebook, if it did not have it, I would of been stuck buying a Windows laptop. I was really excited when I read they just added support recently for ADB/fastboot! I have a couple of small problems and if anybody can help me out, it will be greatly appreciated.
1. I cannot get ADB to work yet on my Pixel 2 XL, but fastboot works no problem. When I try to use ADB, it says device is "offline". Sometimes it says "unauthorized" when I've accepted permissions and click 'always allow from this computer' etc etc. Do I have to use a root shell to run adb/fastboot or can i use a regular shell like on my old windows laptop? Do i have to use sudo before every single command as well or just 'adb devices' like I would on a windows. I know these are noob questions but it is because I am a noob and have only used ADB/fastboot on a WIndows 7 laptop before this.
2. My other question is when I powerwashed and it booted to the user sign in screen, I tried to click enable debugging features but it said not all of the features could of been enabled. Wth does that mean? How can I fix it? Does the chromebook stay in developer mode after I powerwash it if it was in dev mode before I powerwashed it? I did return it back to the dev channel after the powerwash bc I noticed it was back on stable.
Do I have to install a custom version of Chromium OS before this will work?
Thank you guys so much, and thanks again @nathanchance for making this script. Also thanks for your Pixel 2 XL kernel, I use that as well. Cheers!
My device is the Acer Chromebook R11 .. 32 GB HD / 4 GB RAM with a 64 GB sdcard in it .. 2 in 1 tablet/laptop .. x86_64
ok so how do I copy the files I downloaded to another directory? The chrome files explorer only shows drive and downloads
