hi, i installed sshdroid on my galaxy s2 so i am wondering if there is any way to mess around with anything like start a fone call or send a text message from the terminal ?
i am looking for programs like netcat, sshfs, aplay, ... but none can be found.
i also notice this (not sure why):
Code:
/data/data/berserker.android.apps.sshdroid # ps auxw | grep tv
2594 system 0:59 /system/bin/tvoutserver
has anybody done anything cool from the android command line ?
is there someway i can run com.cooliris.media from the commandline ?

I don't know what sshdroid does, but for sure you can use terminal emulator or adb shell to launch apps.
The "am" command can be used to launch applications.
The example below is to open Email app:
Code:
su
Code:
am start com.android.email
to dig in more:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30175170&postcount=3
easy for sms less easy to make a direct call:
Code:
su
Code:
service call phone 2 s16 "123456789"
where 123456789 is the number you want to call
fyi, sshdroid turns your fone into an ssh server so i can log into my fone via wifi from my fedora machine and use an actual keyboard to issue commands instead of an on-screen keyboard.
its also useful for things like scp/sftp... i can mount the fones harddrive/sd-card with sshfs on my pc but i cant mount my pc's harddrive to the fone with sshfs. is there a solution for this yet (i think the problem is that there is no fuse module for android yet) ?
this is weird:
Code:
~ # am start com.cooliris.media
sh: am: not found
~ # which am
/system/bin/am
~ # /system/bin/am start com.cooliris.media
sh: /system/bin/am: not found

Informative.. thanks!!
Dear all,
I installed Unbuntu Touch on my Nexus 4 yesterday (18.09.2013, with the build 20130917.1). It is working more or less, as expected :silly:
One of the problem I am facing is that the ssh server is not working. I could install (and --reinstall) it without problem (apt-get install openssh-server ssh), but if I check with "ps -ef|grep ssh") I only see the ssh-agent and the connection from another computer is not working.
Any idea?
Best regards,
Pierre

Hello, I was given a Gtablet by a friend. Everything is in proper working order except for the wifi. The wifi will endlessly scan, never pulling up any SSIDs. Here's what I've done to troubleshoot:
Ascertained flight mode was off (it was)
Enabled wifi through the developer options (Did nothing)
Manually enter SSID/Security information (Claims that SSID is not in range)
Reloaded the OS (He had VEGAn Tab on there. I reloaded the 5.1 Beta. I don't know what version he had on there, oops.)
After a clean install I have the exact same issue, which leads me to believe it is a hardware issue rather than a software issue. Is this common? Am I forgetting something? Would loading an entirely different ROM be of any use or do they also use the same driver?
My apologies if this has been answered previously, but in all my searching I can only find people who have this problem temporarily; a reboot fixes it for them. I haven't been able to find someone who has had this as a persistent issue.

I'll have to look at some logs to ascertain what your WiFi problem is.
Run the commands in this post (after rebooting the tablet) and then post the text files that're created.

Thanks, see attached are the logs as per request. As a side note, now that I have the terminal emulator on there I tried a few commands I dug up on the internet after I looked over the logs.
Code:
$ su
# ifconfig tiwlan0 up
# ifconfig eth0 up
Both gave an error message
Code:
error: SIOCGIFFLAGS (No such device)
Also
Code:
# svc wifi enable
did not solve my issues. Oh well.

The wireless LAN interface name on the gTab is wlan0. Hence your error messages: "No such device" for the ifnames tiwlan0 and eth0. (The latter would work for the ethernet I/F on the dock--if you had one connected.)

# svc wifi enable

1. You have to look at the Android system logs (using logcat) to see the result of that svc command.
2. Your Android logs indicate that your WiFi interface is a) disabled at startup and b) then not enabled thereafter:
Code:
01-07 23:21:10.429 V/ConnectivityService( 990): Starting Wifi Service.
01-07 23:21:10.429 I/WifiService( 990): WifiService starting up with Wi-Fi [B]disabled[/B]
Suggestions:
Since this now looks like a ROM problem (ie. not HW):
1. See this thread. Run the script to disable Airplane Mode which might be causing your problem. If that doesn't work, try step 2:
2. Boot into CWM and then a) Format /cache and b) Repartition the Internal SD card (take the external one out first).
You'll lose all your current apps and data with this step, essentially reverting to a "fresh" install of your ROM.
Re-setup WiFi, time & date and other things again.
If step 2. doesn't work, report back next year, and I'll give you more commands to run then.

Negative. Ran the airplane fix script, nothing. Reset cache/re-partitioned, still nothing. It's still endlessly scanning/shutting off/scanning.

This is puzzling because from your last logs, it doesn't look like the wlan kernel driver was even loaded, so no AP scanning should be possible. A little background will clarify what I mean.
On all the 2.6.32.x kernels for the gTablet, the wlan driver is not compiled into the kernel. Instead, it is built as a separate kernel module which is loaded and unloaded as needed by Android (from the files in /system/lib/hw/wlan/). When the wlan driver is loaded both the kernel (dmesg) and Android (logcat) will show some characteristic messages and until the driver is inserted into the kernel no AP scanning, or other wireless functions, should be possible. And, no wlan driver-related messages in your logs tells me that the driver was likely not loaded. (Also, only after the wlan driver is loaded does it check and initialize the wireless HW. So, only after its been loaded, strictly speaking, can we rule out a HW problem.)
Sometimes the Android logs are not complete, so I want to you setup ADB on your PC, enable USB debugging on the gTablet (Setting > Applications > Development) and collect the Android logs like this from now on:
1. Power off gTab; attach the USB cable to it.
2. Open a CMD.exe window on the PC, then run this command (and keep the window minimized):
Code:
C:\> [B]adb logcat -v time > logcat.txt[/B]
After all the tests/commands have been done, restore this window and press Ctrl-C to kill ADB and terminate Android log collection.
3. Power on the gTablet. The ADB command will wait for the gTablet and keep collecting logs on the PC.
Post also the output of these commands:
Code:
C:\> [B]adb shell dmesg > dmesg.txt[/B]
C:\> [B]adb shell lsmod > lsmod.txt[/B]
C:\> [B]adb shell "cd /; find system -type f -print0 | xargs -0 sha1sum" > sha1sum.txt[/B]
Is this the ROM you currently have?
Have you applied the VEGAn 1.00 beta 5.1.1 supplement also?

That was the current ROM I was using. I had not applied the supplement yet, but now I have. Still the same issue. Here are the logs.

In this one I can see the kernel WiFi driver being loaded, and the driver is not reporting any HW chip, SDIO bus, or other errors:

As far as the kernel driver is concrned, everything looks OK, but the Android logs still don't show any SSID associations.

See attached. Ignore my syntax errors that I underlined. I was typing wlan instead of wlan0.

Those are OK since you've corrected them. But, these commands you'll have to redo:
1. In the first command (fgrep ... | tr), you've typed a '/' (forward slash) instead of what I've given in the example, which is a '\' (back-slash) character.
The correct character will remove all those blank lines. But, this is a minor typo compared to:
2. The last 2 commands (wpa_cli scan* ...), which you'll have to redo. This time without the extraneous driver argument (again, see the example)--which turns it into a completely different (and non-existent) command. This is why the output doesn't look like what I've shown.
Instead of typing the commands in manually, select and copy the command lines from the browser and paste them into the shell window.
You might also want to increase the no. of columns that CMD.exe displays: Right-click on the title-bar; choose Properties; select Layout; increase the no. of Columns to, let's say, 150.
3. That dmesg.txt file is not very useful because you've not rebooted the tablet before issuing that command.
The kernel has a fixed-size message buffer, so all the HW initialization messages printed only at system boot will be overwritten by later, and irrelevent, messages as time passes. From the timestamps, it looks like your tablet's been on for a couple of weeks, at least--I can't see any of the earlier boot-up messages.
Hi Guys,
I am stumped on this. I am trying to build in WiFi support for a Freescale IMX6 board running Android 4.2.2 via a RALINK USB WiFi Module. I was able to build the RALINK drivers from my kernel source and the device loads up just fine. I can bring the adpater "up" in netcfg and I can use the iwlist binary to see access points near me.
However, I cannot get Settings.apk to bring up the adapter. When I go to turn WiFi on, logcat shows the following:
E/WifiStateMachine( 2879): Failed to load driver!
E/WifiStateMachine( 2879): DriverFailedState
I can get WPA_SUPPLICANT started manually by running the following command:
wpa_supplicant -dd -Dnl80211 -iwlan0 -c /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
where /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant has only two lines:
ctrl_interface=wlan0
update_config=1
I also set the following the props just to be sure:
setprop wifi.interface wlan0
setprop wlan.driver.status "ok"
I am stumped, because I am loading the driver manually first, I do not want wpa_supplicant or settings (whatever method it uses) to load any driver. I have rebuild WPA_SUPPLICANT binary with what I think are the correct board settings, but I always get the same error.
Can anyone help?
Since WifiStateMachine is giving the error, do I need to recompile and replace the Java framework on the device?
Is this a sign of WPA_SUPPLICANT not being built correctly?
Is there some other component I am missing??
Thank you!!!
