How to set a full screen Wallpaper on your Android device? [ROOT]

How to set a full screen Wallpaper on your Android device? [ROOT]

I have a rooted Android device running CM 10.2(Android 4.3.1). I wanted to have the Nexus 5 background without installing an applications to "set the wallpaper" or have it cropped by setting the wallpaper manually.

I have provided the Nexus 5 wallpaper above. Make sure to rename the wallpaper:

mv wallpaper.jpg wallpaper

Push the wallpaper to your device:

adb push wallpaper_info.xml /data/system/users/0
adb push wallpaper /data/system/users/0

Make sure your ADB shell is running root:

adb root
adb shell

Make sure the new files have the write permissions:

chmod 666 /data/system/users/0/wallpaper_info.xml
chmod 666 /data/system/users/0/wallpaper

Make sure the new files have the right ownership:

chown system:system /data/system/users/0/wallpaper_info.xml
chown system:system /data/system/users/0/wallpaper

How to take Screenshots with Google Glass?

In order to take screenshots with Google Glass as of now is to simply do it via the command line with ADB!

Check out these two commands that can easily take care of this for you:

adb pull /sdcard/FILE.png FILE.png

How to view your Google Glass or Android Device on your Computer?

How can you view your Google Glass or other Android Device on your own Computer?

You can view your Google Glass screen or Android device using the Android Screen Monitor!


Download the ".jar" file here:

Here is how to run the ".jar" file from Terminal:

java -jar asm.jar

Here is how it looks!

How can you get started with your Google Glass?

Getting started with Google Glass!

When using Google Glass it is best to use an Android device, therefore you can maximize your abilities through Bluetooth and the MyGlass Android app with the Google Glass.

When you first turn your Google Glass on, here is what you will see, the time and "ok glass":

Download the MyGlass application for your Android device: Naturally your Google Glass will have Bluetooth already enabled, which makes it easy to pair with your Android device. Take a look at the application and run through the setup to get started with Google Glass!

Pairing the Google Glass and the MyGlass app allows for notifications to be sent directly from your device to your Glass! Watch the Official Google video here:

OpenQuartz: Google Glass Open Source Development

Much like quartz sand is the main ingredient in most commercial glass, we want OpenQuartz to be the main "ingredient" in the future development for Google Glass!

Google Glass Application Source Code(/glass-source):

UPDATE(11/19/13): GDK is now out! You can still easily decompile applications using this method.

Since the GDK is not yet released, we can look around how the current Google Glass Android applications were compile by breaking them down. The decompiled Google Glass applications are included. Here are a list of tools to decompile the native APKs:

• Decompiling APKs
  • Dex2Jar
    • https://code.google.com/p/dex2jar
• Decompiling compiled Java (.class) files
  • Jad
    • http://www.varaneckas.com/jad
• View decompiled JAR files from Dex2Jar
  • JD-GUI
    • http://jd.benow.ca/
• Dumping APK Resources

Basic ADB Usage(From Terminal or CMD Prompt):

Since there is no "Google Play" for the Glass yet, we have to side load Android applications for now.

• Installing/Uninstall Applications(.apks):
  • adb install -r FILE.apk
  • adb uninstall FILE.apk
• Running the Application:
  • adb shell am start -n PACKAGE.NAME/.MAIN.ACTIVITY.NAME
• List all Packages on your Android Device:
  • adb shell pm list packages -f
• List all Relative Information about your Android Device:
  • adb shell dumpsys
    • adb shell dumpsys battery
    • adb shell dumpsys wifi
    • adb shell dumpsys cpuinfo
    • adb shell dumpsys meminfo
      • adb shell dumpsys meminfo PACKAGE.NAME

How to compile HelloWorld in Intel x86-32 on Mac OSX/FreeBSD

How to compile HelloWorld in Intel x86-32 on Mac OSX/FreeBSD

Compile in your Terminal:

nasm -o hello.tmp -f macho hello.s && ld -arch i386 -macosx_version_min 10.6 -no_pie -e _main -o hello.o hello.tmp && ./hello.o

The Code:

section .data                   ; constants stored here

    msg db "Hello World!", 0xa  ; our string to be printed
    len equ $ - msg             ; get the length of our string

section .text                   ; labels stored here

global _main                    ; specify our main function - (ld -e main)

_syscall:                       ; label - system call - call kernel - how we print to the screen
    int 0x80
    ret

_main:                          ; label - technically int main()
    push    dword len           ; message length
    push    dword msg           ; message to write
    push    dword 1             ; file descriptor - 1 - stdout
    mov     eax, 0x4            ; system call number - 4 - system write
    call    _syscall            ; go to label(function call) - _syscall

    ;  add     esp,12          ;clean stack (3 arguments * 4)

    push    dword 0             ; exit code - return 0
    mov     eax, 0x1            ; system call number (sys_exit)

How to put Applications on Jailbroken iPhone

How to put Applications on Jailbroken iPhone

Need:

• Jailbroken iPhone(with OpenSSH from Cydia)
• USB cable
• MacbookPro(for Xcode) 
• uikittools

Tested with:

• iPhone 5, running iOS 6.1(Jailbroken using Evasi0n Untethered Jailbreak iOS)
• USB Cable (used original cable)
• Xcode 4.6
• iPhone iOS 6.1 SDK

Step 1 - make sure Xcode is closed - stop automatic signing

---

First off you need to edit a configuration file within Xcode:

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS6.1.sdk/SDKSettings.plist

Make a backup just in case you mess up:

sudo cp /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS6.1.sdk/SDKSettings.plist /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS6.1.sdk/SDKSettings.BACK

Edit the file like:

sudo nano /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS6.1.sdk/SDKSettings.plist

To save:

Control + X  then Y

Change

<key>CODE_SIGNING_REQUIRED</key>
<string>YES</string>
<key>CODE_SIGN_ENTITLEMENTS</key>
<string>YES</string>

to

<key>CODE_SIGNING_REQUIRED</key>
<string>NO</string>
<key>CODE_SIGN_ENTITLEMENTS</key>
<string>NO</string>

Step 2 - create the TCP connection between your Macbook and your iPhone

---

Go to

http://cgit.sukimashita.com/usbmuxd.git/

Download the latest, here:

http://cgit.sukimashita.com/usbmuxd.git/snapshot/usbmuxd-1.0.8.tar.bz2

Use a GUI tool or simply extract in Terminal:

tar -xjf usbmuxd-1.0.8.tar.bz2

cd to the "python-client" folder

Open Terminal and run to test the connection, Control + C to quit:

python tcprelay.py -t 22:2222

Now you can run these commands in the future:

ssh root@localhost -p 2222 - access the phone
scp -P 2222 root@localhost - send files to the phone

Step 3 - time to open Xcode

---

Click on your Project > Build Settings > Go to Code Signing > Code Signing Identity > Make sure it says "Don't sign code"

Make sure you set your target to "iOS Device"

Go to Product > Build for > Archiving

Step 4 - time to push your application to your jailbroken iPhone!

---

Example project name: NavBar

After building your application, its time to push it your phone, you need to find the path to your application in order to send it to your phone:

Open terminal again:

scp -r -P 2222 "/Users/noname/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/NavBar-gekkahxyyaepvgdkfkduwhlmqvqg/Build/Products/Release-iphoneos/NavBar.app" root@localhost:/Applications/

When prompted for the password, make sure your type "alpine"

User: root (already specified)
Password: alpine

After that is quickly transferred, Control + C to quit and then update your iPhone with:

ssh -p 2222 mobile@localhost uicache

User: mobile (already specified)
Password: alpine

To remove everything:

ssh -p 2222 root@localhost rm -rf /Applications/NavBar.app && ssh -p 2222 mobile@localhost uicache

By now you should see the application pop up on your home screen!
