Since I use openbox with some packages from Xfce4 (mainly for convenience) I get most stuff "for free" as it were when using openbox, but I can't figure out how to mount android devices in a simple way. I can either do it manually, or install some other file manager that has this capability. This leads me to my question, I've noticed that if I install Nautilus, which automatically mounts android devices OotB, I get this functionality in Thunar as well. This leads me to believe that there is clearly a dependency package of some kind installed when running apt-get install nautilus that enables it, It'd be great to get this functionality in Thunar without having all the nautilus packages just littering about for no good reason. the required package is gvfs-backends, which I should have realized when I was unable to browse smb:// addresses. You forget a lot when you only make a fresh install once every 2 years or so.
I installed everything and am running android OS on Ubuntu (using androidphonedriver guide). The problem I'm having now is that I don't know how to install android market application to be able to install other apps like opera etc.).
I'm trying to install these tools so I can get root on my HTC evo. I'm not a developer so I don't need all the dev software. I just need adb so I can move some files. I have no idea what I'm doing or what the prerequisites are for the sdk software.
I have Ubuntu 10.04 running on my laptop. IBM R51 Been running for some time fine.I bought an android Acer Iconia A500 tablet. It has a usb port and I can plug it into my windows machine fine and see the drive etc.I plug it into my Ubuntu system and nothing mounts.

I am trying to get Eclipse and the Android SDK working in Ubuntu. So far everything works except when you try to create a new Android project and, the build target area is grayed out. Why? I did run the android tool inside the sdk folder and created and Android 2.2 AVD. Why is it not reading it?
This hasn't happened to me before, but I develop for the Android platform and (perhaps needless to say) I really need to be able to debug on a real device. On past installs, my device was recognized automatically and debugging was as easy as checking "debug" in the Android's settings, but now (after updating to Maverick from Lucid) the phone registers with adb as?It mentions some necessary tasks for set-up on Ubuntu, but only mentions this process for Dapper/Gutsy/Hardy. Is there any personal experience out there that can confirm that this works and/or is necessary on Maverick?
A friend has an Android smartphone - LG GT45 I think - it's currently using Android version 1.6 and she wants to update to 2.1 or whatever. But she doesn't own a computer. I only use Ubuntu, but I also have XP as a VirtualBox guest. I've installed the LG updating program, and it works fine through the handset verification stage, downloads the software; but when we get to the install stage it will only get to 4% on its progress bar then stops there. We wait and wait, it doesn't get any further, then eventually my virtual XP just freezes up.
So I typically use cat to put my avi files together.. but today I figure lets see about ripping over so I can watch on my Droid.
As nobody has a xvid or vlc player on the droid (yet.. coders are doing alot for Android ya know) I will have to convert the video down and change the format.. So.. can anybody tell me a mencoder command line directive to get as close to this as possible (I found ipod settings leave the actual video lacking).
Video Format MP4 Encoder H.264 Resolution 854 x 480 (or 720 x 480; 480 x 320; 320 x 240) Frame Rate 12 fps - 30 fps
I just got an Evo 4g(great phone) but when I attach it to my computer via USB I can't access the memory card. Linux recognizes it as an Evo and shows it as a USB drive but nothing happens when I try to open it as a folder.
I'm trying to find password programs for Linux and Android that I can sync together. If that is not possible, maybe they can export and import the same file type. Right now I use OISafe on Android and Revelation on Linux, but I can't get them to work together. Without trying all the different password programs on each system, I was wondering if anyone here has accomplished this. If so which programs are you using and how do you sync the data?

I've installed eclipse and android manually at /opt. How do I make /opt/android writable by eclipse ? I don't want to chmod it to 777. Specifically I need to know the group eclipse belongs to.

I have the weirdest problem on the newly (freshly) installed Natty on my Acer Aspire 5741G: Wifi connectivity is good out-of-the-box and can connect (at least with my office's network) but cannot connect with my phone's (HTC Legend with Froyo) configured as a portable hotspot.
The network can be detected, but fails to connect. I have tried with WPA, without any security.... it all does not work.Previously Lucid 10.4 connected flawlessly out-of-the-box on the same machine.Other devices detect and connect to the phone without problems.
I am not sure where to post this so i figure that general help is as good as any. I have just bought my self a 32 gb micro sd card and I want to transfur all my old stuff (apps, contacts, music) off my existing card, how do I do this?
Does anyone know where I can get this driver: bcm4329.ko ?
I've checked Broadcom's website, they seem to have drivers for everything except the 4329.
Another question; if I have a bcm4329.ko file that has previously worked on a Nexus One, is it guaranteed to still work (on a Nexus One), regardless of the kernel number?
I have a Droid Eris teathered over USB. I would like to share the the internet connection over WiFi. Currently, I forward tcp:8080 to tcp:8080 with the android tools. (I'm using the proxoid application.) Then I set firefox to use localhost:8080 as a proxy.How can I share this connection over WiFi?
I've been trying to set up MPD & Icecast to stream my music to my HTC Incredible. I have it set up now to the point that I can open my stream on my laptop through VLC. I can also open my icecast server on my phone's web browser, however, when I try to open up the stream in StreamFurious it seems to download, but then upon finishing says something to the effect of "Broken Pipe - Stopped"
