Have you ever dreamed of an app to execute your favorite shell commands, whether it is for collection dmesg/logcat/dumpsys or set kernel parameters.
Well here comes CommandCenter, a generic app for grouping all your favorite commands.
CommandCenter is free with ads and can be downloaded from the Android Markethttps://market.android.com/search?q=com.asksven.commandcenter(IT TAKES SOME TIME TO UPDATE CUZ ITS JUST PUBLISHED
It is also open source
If you are a kernel developer you may want to provide a tool for your users to run certain commands without havint to maintain an app for that; if yes just submit a Command Set and have your users download it.
If you are a poweruser there are commands that you use all the time, wither from adb shell or in the terminal. Make one or multiple Command Set and enjoy the comfort of an Android app and the power of your favorite commands.
http://market.android.com/publish/i...0_ndAPFoAzfqVabGrGq2vHV4L2LRT4mKNjfMwlEo5.png
How it works
The command sets are stored of the sdcard in the app's private folder /sdcard/Android/data/com.asksven.commandcenter/files in the form of json files. On load the files are parsed and each file (Command Set) shown as a tab.
A single click on a Command displays its details, a long click pops up a dialog from where you can run the command (this is configurable in the preferences).
A command has two parts:
- the command to be executed itself: it may contain a variable and in that case a popup will ask for the value to be used
- an optional command to retrieve a status: if a status can be read it will be displayed
CommandCenter comes with two pre-configured Command Sets:
- general commands for logging / diagnosis
- a few command for Fracisco Franco's awsome GN kernel
Caution
Always check the command's before running them. CommandCenter support 'su' command and you should know what you do as those could harm your phone. I will not take any responsibility for any dammage caused by command run using CommandCenter

Hey everyone,
I am looking for a way to activate sleep mode of my chromebook manually in order to save battery without having to log out or power off all the time (it's connected to an external display, so closing the lid doesn't trigger it).
So far I found out that calling "powerd_dbus_suspend" from the shell does the trick, but as you can imagine, using the shell and actually typing the command every time is not really a solution.
Is there a way to create a chrome os app that executes this program call, so I can put it in my shelf and just click it to activate sleep?
I'm not really good at .json, maybe there's a way? Or any other suggestions?
Thanks alot!
Markus
I would like to know it too. Anyone?

Run a tiny web server like lighttpd in the shell on a weird port, restrict to localhost. Set up index.php to run system (whatever);
Then bookmark the 127.0.0.1: xxxx URL
Which system call invokes power_dbus_suspend?
Thanks Parrotgeek1. Working off your excellent suggestion I installed a lightweight local server on ChromeOS (Web Server for Chrome with the 200 OK! icon) and built a small framework app that is served from local storage. I'm all set up to call chrome.app.??? from my JavaScript. Which API provides the power_dbus_suspend capability? I looked through the Power and System APIs and I don't see anything. - Thanks!

Have you tried this simple extension? Keep Awake
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/...lb?utm_source=chrome-app-launcher-info-dialog
What I do is have the shell tab pinned, and press [up arrow] for the command then hit [enter]. Probably not ideal if you use the shell a lot as you have to step through recently used commands.
Re: Pkt_Lnt's post
Thanks Pkt_Lnt. That app only deals with disabling the normal sleep behavior, not causing it, and in particular not causing it when an external monitor is connected. I'm looking for something like Sneets has requested, to invoke a powerd_dbus_suspend command that will force the system to sleep (and turn off an external monitor). Per Parrotgeek1's comment, I've got a little app now sitting on the shelf that is all set to call some system command to invoke powerd_dbus_suspend, only I'm looking for what command to call, from JavaScript.
I managed to find a way to do something similar with the Secure Shell app. During the process of figuring it out, I also found that I was able to create a homescreen shortcut on my Android tablet which when tapped sends a shell command to the Chromebook.
This method might be overkill somewhat, but, anyway, what I did was as follows:
Installed Secure Shell extension; setup sshd on the Chromebook (by making a symlink in /etc/init/ pointing to /usr/share/chromeos-ssh-config/init/openssh-server-conf); rebooted; added public key from ConnectBot (Android app) to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys in order to test connection; setup Android homescreen shortcut to send shell command; created profile in Secure Shell app on Chromebook to connect to [email protected]/my local IP address; generated keys on Chromebook (in ~/.ssh); added generated public key to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys; imported newly-generated private/public key pair within Secure Shell app (one by one); created bookmark link to [email protected] profile in shelf, and, finally, added required command to profile in Secure Shell.
It works well! It looks like any command can be added to the 'Arguments' field in Secure Shell, with the syntax:
Code:
-- thecommand
Although I guess commands that need sudo would require a connection to [email protected], instead of chronos. (-t argument lets you use sudo, but then sending a line break/ENTER seems to be needed)
The window opened with the click does hang around - I haven't figured out if it's possible to avoid this - but it does at least seem to persistently remember the size and position to which it's set.
I posted up some further details at http://nolirium.blogspot.com/shell-command-shelf-shortcut-chromeos.html
Impressive! But a bit more than I'm looking to do
@Nolirum - I read your blogspot doc and your procedure's pretty impressive. Frankly it's a little beyond me and beyond what I'm looking for. If you ever run across a way to invoke powerd_dbus_suspend a little more directly please post here as well. You clearly have a strong grasp of the issues!

This really is impressive! Thanks for the extremely detailed explanation.
I was able to follow along completely and get the SSH argument "powerd_dbus_suspend" working.
However, I got to thinking. I was wondering if this could be extended to use an alias stored in ~/.bashrc?
After doing some research of my own and using various parameters and arguments, I was unsuccessful.
The goal is to have a linux app (through crouton) be run using xiwi with just a single bookmark by utilizing an alias.
Any thoughts?
UPDATE:
Of course just a few moments later I figured this out! Rather than dealing with an alias stored in ~/.bashrc and ensuring ssh had access, typing the entire alias command as an argument worked. Now I can run Steam directly from a shelf bookmark. All it took was replacing "powerd_dbus_suspend" with "-- sudo enter-chroot xiwi steam" in the argument.
Thanks again!

Nice!
Adding crouton single app shortcuts is a cool idea which I hadn't considered. Does it work OK for you with sudo in the command, even straight after booting up? ...You didn't have to setup sudoing without a password via sudoers.d or anything?
Inspired by your post I added xiwi to my chroot to try it out. I seem to remember experiencing quite unbearable lag and slowness when running a full desktop via xiwi in the past, but with single apps there doesn't seem to be any noticeable performance hit (this is on an armv7 Asus Flip, with the chroot on a slooow USB drive).
In order to not have to enter my sudo password, in the argument I put:
Code:
-t -- echo mypassword | sudo -S sh /media/removable/3/bin/enter-chroot xiwi firefox
Maybe I'm missing something? Is there a better way, perhaps?
Anyway, since I have rootfs verification switched off, I also tried saving a similar command to a file in /usr/bin, and putting the filename in the argument instead. This works, too, and I suppose could potentially be useful e.g. in the case of needing to run a more convoluted sequence of commands with a shortcut.

Next Steps... Getting Custom Shelf Icons
Now here I am running into some issues. Rather than have all these icons be the same, I was hoping to customize them.
Followed a strategy found on reddit, Change Shelf Icon for Website, but this only works if the site already had an "apple-touch-icon" set. Also, tried to inject the entire code myself which I couldn't get to work. Unfortunately, I think that since this bookmark is created from a Secure Shell, there are some issues.
I have already tried adding in code for this into the site, but it is having no effect. If someone could make this work then we're really looking good here.

Oh, I see what you mean. You are saying that you can sudo in the shell generally, without being prompted for a password, right?
Was that the default setup on your CB (after switching to Dev mode)? Or did you have to configure it manually for passwordless sudoing...

Happily it turns out that, when you add shortcuts to the shelf on Chrome OS like this, a minimal app is created for each one, with its own manifest.json, and icon.pngs. Our shell shortcuts were getting created with blank pngs by default (the black box with P in the center).
So, all we need to do, is get some icons, find the right folder for our shelf shortcut apps, then copy our new icons into them!
For instance, here's how I made a nice shiny icon for my single app shelf shortcut to Firefox.
Prepared icons:
Created a temporary folder in ~/Downloads to store downloaded icons.
Prepared a set of icons in ~/Downloads/firefox. (I downloaded mine from findicons.com).
Six sizes are required - from 32px to 256. To avoid any manifest editing, saved them as *size*.png
e.g. 32.png; 48.png; 64.png; 96.png; 128.png; 256.png
Located folder to copy icons to:
It is easiest to do this directly after clicking "add to shelf"
EITHER:
To change dir into the most recently modified extension icon subfolder automatically, the following one-liner worked for me*.
Code:
shell
cd ~/Extensions/&&cd $(ls -v1td */ | head -1)/*/icons&&ls
A list of blank icons (*.png) should be visible. If so, the new icons can simply be copied over these, e.g..
Code:
sudo cp ~/Downloads/firefox/* .
*YMMV with this particular one-liner - sometimes there's an extra 'temp' folder in ~/Extensions, which stops it working as expected. If you get an error after running the command, simply use the slightly more manual method to locate the folder, as detailed below.
OR:
(slightly more manual method).
Code:
shell
ls -ltr ~/Extensions
Checked the date/times - the most recently added folder is at the bottom. Then,
Code:
cd themostrecentlyaddedfolder
(or, the folder modified at the date/time that the shortcut was "added to shelf"). Then,
Code:
cd */icons
ls
sudo cp ~/Downloads/firefox/* .
I then repeated the above with a new SSH argument and a set of Ubuntu icons, for a custom startxfce4 shortcut, too.
Then just did sudo restart ui, and enjoyed the shiny new shelf icons!
I am hopeful that these changes will get picked up by CrOS's sync, thus getting backed-up and restored automatically. At this point I am not sure if that will be the case, but I don't see why it wouldn't.
Another way?
Another way to approach this, since you're modifying system stuff anyway, might be to edit crosh at /usr/bin/crosh. It's a regular ol' dash/bash shell program, and you can create a shortcut to it on the shelf by opening crosh (ctrl-alt-T), then right click the top right of the browser and select More Tools --> Add to shelf...
Clicking the newly-created link (which looks like an "N") will launch /usr/bin/crosh in a tab. Changing the default behavior of /usr/bin/crosh could accomplish your goal to do whatever you want. With some experimenting, you might even be able to pass arguments to make it do different things depending on how it's opened (via ALT-CTRL-T vs from the shelf-- dunno if it can read the url used to call crosh), but at the very least you could do something like have it run whatever you want it to run if a second modifier key is held down (or if it isn't...), otherwise return to normal operation. A menu w/1 sec timeout could do this as well, ie--
Doing [THE THING YOU WANT] in 2 seconds (press SPACE for crosh)... /
Note there's no proof-of-concept here. Just throwing it out as an idea that I'm pretty sure would work... Someone might even create a neat extension that allows crosh to use scripts/plugins to execute different system operations beyond the stock ones that are built-in via single-clicks... If it worked, it might be a little simplier than via the SSH extension and you wouldn't have to run any extra daemons.

This is probably harder, but a third way, which probably is the "right" way is to see how the crosh extension works and learn about opening the hterm.Terminal instance chrome.terminalprivate object directly, sending it output, and closing it in the same way crosh does it. There's a file in the crosh extension at js/crosh.js that shows the basics of how it's done:
var terminal = new hterm.Terminal(profileName);
And then you can do stuff with it. You could then create an extension that could handle multiple shelf-icons (say by appending ?COMMAND=ls to the URL to do different shell commands(. The security implications for this would probably be huge obviously.
Update: More on embedding hterm is here.

Interesting! ....Aaaaand, now I've broken crosh. lol. Lucky I had my SSH shortcut setup... (actually, we can still get into the VTs with CtrlAltF2 etc anyway).

Again, very interesting. Now you come to mention it, an approach such as this does seem like it might be do-able without too much messing around (maybe)...
Any possible method we can get e.g. an extension to 'talk' to the shell is worth looking into I think; as you say, if we can cut out the middleman (ssh) and maybe do it more elegantly, that might be pretty useful indeed.
I really want to switch to WOS 2.0, but the one thing preventing me from doing so is that the voice prompt (when running with bluetooth headphones), would be in chinese.
I know that pacefied has english voice prompts (or had, as I believe it's not working in the most recent versions)
So my question is: is it a simple case of copying over some english voice files to the watch?
Could I install WOS 2.0 and then after installation copy the english files ?
I did replace the chinese voiceprompts with the english ones in the NewWearSport.apk, installed the rooted spanished version from here:
https://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=1412777
and replaced the NewWearSport.apk via adb.
Everything installed well and is working well but I don't hear any voiceprompts. Since I don't have that much outdoor activities now due to an injury I couldn't check, why the voiceprompts are not working. I guess it is better to wait for Saratoga79 to have it done.

You mean you couldn't hear the voice prompts when your bluetooth headphones were connected? Could you hear chinese voice prompts instead?
I realise that Saratoga could probably solve this problem fairly easily (that guy really seems to know what he's doing), but I don't want to keep asking him cos I realise he's busy.
I feel like it must be just a case of replacing files in the file system. Or is it not that simple?
Voiceprompts are in the NewWearSport.apk integrated. I replaced the Chinese ones with the English ones. I didn't check the Chinese ones before. You have to open the apk files to do so. For this you can use several tools. Since my manipulated apk did install properly I guess it is save to assume, that I did it allright.

I see. My assumption was as follows:
When you install an apk, the files are unzipped to the android file system somewhere (e.g. a newwearsport/voiceprompt folder or something). I thought that (without installing a new apk) you could just copy english files directly to the folder. Perhaps there is some technical reason why this isn't possible. I know very little about this stuff.
The version of the voice files in EN is missing some phrases in the new sport app, but the version in Spanish seems to be complete. I will do some tests today, trying to use ES+EN, so no words in CN...

I just had a look on the watch to be on the safe side.
This quoted assumption is wrong. The only trace of the NewWearSport.apk I found was under:
\system\app\NewWearSport\NewWearSport.apk.
Where is a Subfolder mips which contains the actual code as odex file which I didn't touch.
We have some traces in the data folder :
\data\data\com.huami.watch.newsport
but not the voicefiles. So in my opinion the only way to get to this files is via replacing them in the NewWearSport.apk and installing the new version of this apk.

Nice work, will add this to next WOS ROM.
Btw, note that I had some problems with voices using different bitrate, frecuency or channel number comparing to stock CN voices. I face several Bluetooth issues due to this, even bluetooth disconnections, so be advised.

Thanks. And thank you for all the work you've done for the Amazfit community as well. No problems with my testings yesterday, I did a walk and also indoor running for testing. But this was the initial version, a quick build for testing purposes. Many of phrases can be improved, maybe it's better to wait until it's finished.
Regards
I tried it today while running. I got no voicealerts.
Settings:
Bluetooth headset connected but no musicplayer started (music playing is working with bluetooth headset [verified]).
Run - Settings - Training target (not set)

- HR Alert - above 170
- HR Zone - off
- Auto Lap Alert - on
- Pace Alert - off
more settings - Voice prompt - on
- Auto Pause - off

I have tested with walk and indoor run and it worked with me, enabled most voice alerts and I could hear warning on pace, heartrate and distance. If you don't connect the headphones in the Accessories part of the activity settings, then try to start playing a music before you start the activity and then pause it using the headset to make sure it's activated.

Try with music, if there is a problem with voice files music will stop playing
Thanks for the support.
Headphones were connected and playing music fine before.
I think I have an idea whats wrong.
1) I run with airplane mode on but bluetooth activated. (PaceON)
2) I did not use the settings accessories to connect with the headphones but did it before with music.
3) Auto Lap - off
Have test this theorie further.

NewWearSport concatenates all the mp3 files needed to form the phrase in a temporary mp3 file.... these means that all mp3 files need to be same bitrate and with no headers (xing, id3, VBRI or another tags at the start or end of the file)
I have a small local network:
• A router not connected to the Internet
• 20 tablets that connect to it
• a computer under linux with LAMP
• a computer under windows with WAMP
When I want to install new apps on the tablets, I have to plug them one by one into a computer and run ADB commands. Would it be possible to execute these commands over WiFi? All tablets are rooted and the network is secure because there is no internet access. So I wouldn't be afraid to use security holes to carry out adb commands over WiFi.
Example of remarkable ADB commands:
• Place files on the tablet: adb push C:/APPLICATIONS/TitaniumBackup/ /sdcard/
• Install several applications: for %f in (C:\ APPLICATIONS\*.Apk) do adb install -t -g -r "%f"
• Start an application: adb shell am start -n com.package.name/com.package.name.ActivityName
•take photos
• activate or deactivate wifi
• Re-boot the tablet: adb reboot
• etc.
I would like to be able to do this on all 20 tablets via the wifi network rather than plugging them one by one into my computer.
Thank you in advance for any ideas you can share with me.

Yes, android supports ADB over WiFi.
Do a google search for:
"ADB over Wifi"
Sent from my SM-S767VL using Tapatalk
Yes, indeed, the answer was easily found on the web. I asked it because that day I split one big issue into several smaller ones to post requests on your forum. And I never imagined it would be so easy to connect 20 tablets to each other using a local wifi network and adb. The app jwoegerbauer recommended to me is just wonderful. Now I can:
- simultaneously install an application on the 20 tablets from my PC:
FOR /F "skip=1" %x IN ('adb devices') DO start adb -s %x install -r "my-apk.apk"
- uninstall an application on the 20 tablets
- place folders or files I want where I want on all the tablets (they are rooted):
FOR /F "skip=1" %x IN ('adb devices') DO start adb -s %x push C:/my-file/ /sdcard/
- take a file from each tablet or delete it
- even take a screenshot of the tablet I want:
adb -s 192.168.43.122:5555 shell screencap /sdcard/testadb/screen.png
or 20 tablets:
FOR /F "skip=1" %x IN ('adb devices') DO start adb -s %x shell screencap /sdcard/testadb/screen.png
Many thanks to jwoegerbauer for recommending the Wireless ADB application to me.
However, I would like to explore the matter further. The problem I'm looking to solve is to manage a group of tablets without internet and without having to pay an MDM (Android mobile device manager). With ADB, I can install and uninstall applications and send or receive files. Here is what remains to be done:
- I am learning how to remotely change the settings of my 20 tablets. Imagine how tedious it is to turn on the wifi on each of the tablets, then select a network and enter the password. Sometimes I need to turn off wifi or change networks on all tablets. I also have to change the default display or font size. Last week, I've had to set the time and time zone on each one because "network provided time" does not work in a local area network not connected to the Internet. I will tell you which adb formulas I have tested if anyone is interested.
- I also started an other thread on xda-developers: Remotely modify the settings of an android application. Indeed, it takes a plenty of time to manually change the preferences and datas of an application already installed on 20 tablets. If you have any ideas on this, I'd be happy to read your ideas on the forum.
AFAIK USB hubs with 20 ports exist
THIS IS ONLY TESTED IN WEAR OS 3 ON A GALAXY WATCH 4
THOUGH THIS SHOULD WORK ON ALL WATCHES AND OLDER VERSIONS OF WEAR OS
Requirements:
ADB installed on your computer
Have your wear OS device connected to the same network as you computer
A bit of patience, this works in a very weird way!
Downloading apks and installing them
Firstly enable adb and adb debugging over WiFi on your wear OS device
Then download the latest apks:
Termux
MultiVnc If you want a graphical environment on Linux
When you have the apks run these commands:
Code:
adb connect IP_OF_YOUR_WEAR_OS_DEVICE
You might be able to see your ip under the button for enabling adb debugging over wifi
Then run these commands in the downloads folder
Code:
adb -s " IP_OF_YOUR_WEAR_OS_DEVICE" install NAME_OF_THE_DOWNLOADED_TERMUX_APK_FILE
and
Code:
adb -s " IP_OF_YOUR_WEAR_OS_DEVICE" install NAME_OF_THE_DOWNLOADED_MULTI-VNC_APK_FILE
BE AWARE THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE TO RESTART THE ADB CONNECTION, SOMETIMES IT MAY FREEZE.
to do that run
Code:
adb disconnect
then
Code:
adb connect IP_OF_YOUR_WEAR_OS_DEVICE
Installing Linux in Termux
Stay awake sleepyhead!
To make everything easier enable the option in Termux to keep your watch awake, this will save you from so much trouble.
First open up Termux, then long press the black background.
Then press the three dots and choose the option "More...".
Scroll down until you see the option "Keep screen on", turn on that.
Keyboard?
I've discovered that there's a problem with Wear OS keyboards, for some reason they might not interact properly with certain android applications.
So open up Termux in your Wear OS device and see if you can write anything in Termux.
If that works, see if there's any enter button on your keyboard and see if it works.
If Termux gave any response to what you entered then skip this part and head straight for "The Linux multiverse!"
If the enter button doesn't work then you gotta install an android keyboard.
The best keyboard I've found that also works on round Wear OS devices is "Unexpected keyboard"
Download the keyboard and run:
Code:
adb -s " IP_OF_YOUR_WEAR_OS_DEVICE" install NAME_OF_THE_DOWNLOADED_KEYBOARD_APK_FILE
When the keyboard is installed change you default keyboard into the previously installed keyboard.
The Linux multiverse!
On your ANDROID PHONE install Andronix.
In there you will have a lot of options for installing Linux on Termux. You can choose whatever you want!
When you've chosen what you want, then Andronix will copy a command to your phones clipboard.
Oh no!
This is where you might only have a few options!
The problems is that you have to get the command from your phone to your Wear OS device, though your Wear OS device might not even let you copy and paste!
Though there is a way to bypass this, ANDROID APPS! The easiest way is to install messenger lite(not messenger for Wear OS).
First download Messenger lite. (source for the messenger download link)
Then In the downloads folder run:
Code:
adb -s " IP_OF_YOUR_WEAR_OS_DEVICE" install NAME_OF_THE_DOWNLOADED_MESSENGER_APK_FILE
Log into messenger on your phone and your Wear OS device.
On your phone send the command Andronix gave you, to yourself in messenger.
Then open up messenger on your Wear OS device and long press the command and select copy!
Now the biggest hassle is gone!
The long, really long awakening
Now that you've copied the command, enter Termux. Then long press the black background and press paste.
NOW DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING, so that you don't accidentally change anything in the command.
From your computer run:
Code:
adb shell input keyevent 66
Try to remember this command, or put it somewhere easy to copy. You'll need it pretty often. (this command serves as an enter button)
The installation of Linux will now begin, there will be some Y/N questions, just choose the default options by running:
Code:
adb shell input keyevent 66
After a while you might get questions about region, keyboard and such.
use
Code:
adb shell input keyevent 66
to scroll down when it says [MORE]
then use
Code:
adb shell input text "NUMBER/WORD"
(don't remove the parentheses)
then again use
Code:
adb shell input keyevent 66
as an enter button
It might also ask you for a vnc password, choose a small and easy password.
FINALLY LINUX!
You should now have Linux installed on your Wear Os device. Go do whatever you want with it.
Just remember that your Wear OS device uses arm, so if you wanna use x86 applications, then you gotta use Box64 if you have a 64-bit processor and Box86 if you have a 32-bit processor
Start Linux(Linux might automatically start after installation)
First run:
Code:
adb shell input text "ls"
Code:
adb shell input keyevent 66
This will run the ls command.
Look for a file closely name to start-SOME_LINUX_DISTRO.sh or start-andronix.sh
then run:
Code:
adb shell input text "./start-SOME_LINUX_DISTRO"
then
Code:
adb shell input keyevent 66
BOOM Linux is now running :3
What about GUI?
If you installed a Linux version with a graphical interface then you either gotta use a VNC to display anything on your watch
run
Code:
adb shell input text "vncserver-start"
then
Code:
adb shell input keyevent 66
then
Code:
adb shell input keyevent 66
The terminal will say " New 'remote-desktop' at :NUMBER on machine localhost "
remember that number
now exit Termux and start Mutli-Vnc
Scroll down to "New Connection"
in Address enter localhost
in port enter 590 and then the number. (If the number as is higher than 9, enter 59 and then the number)
Scroll down password and enter in the vnc password you chose earlier.
Then the scroll all the way down and press the big green "Connect" button!
You should now some something, maybe not a lot, but something"
You can manually set the resolution if you want, so that you're able to utilize the screen better, go here for a guide on that.
External GUI
If you actually wanna use the Linux installation, then you'll have to use an external device to view the desktop.
You can follow this guide here, as it's better at explaining then me.
You can also use this guide if you wanna use XSDL.
A tip for entering &, use the keyboard on the watch! Also the read the explanation of commands before you continue, you'll need it!
Command explanation!!
adb shell input text " " will enter any text into the connected adb device, %s is used for spaces
adb shell input keyevents will do any key event, like pressing enter, 66 is for enter
If something doesn't work, let me know. I might've missed something!
