Make mobile-install on windows #2
Comments
the makefile only works on linux. you can instead manually copy the scripts to the device. the easiest way to do that is to download the latest release |
i added a new install script. you can run the following one liner from the pixel:
|
Thanks for simplifying the process, Im assuming it doesn't auto mount the ssd card as the os is still asking me to format the drive. In termux when I use: Thank you |
I have installed many packages and in magisk, change mount namespace mode to global. and pasted all of the scripts to /data/data/com.termux/files/home/ as well as /data/data/downloads. In termux I input: But the alternative: If I do it from ~/downloads/ then nothing happens with all of the commands |
This is pretty much what I did, I tried way more things so I don't know if that changed anything (I didn't document them as it didn't go anywhere). ______Setup -Type: ***Stuffs I installed ***Switch repos ***if you are having problems installing the packages _______Use to find external drive easier (By looking at file size)(use a new session (you can use two fingers to swipe from the left side)): ***Look for the size of the drive/partition that closely matches your external drive (mine was sdg1) sdg should be at the very bottom ***The Block_device looks like: /dev/block/sdg1 _______Download the files _____________mount external drive ***Then I'm assuming that the the_binding folder is what I use to backup to and from. |
you don't need to do any of that extra stuff...you don't even need termux. just run the scripts as root. yes, |
I have zero clue how to "run the scripts as root", (without a terminal?) I don't think the files app or mixplorer has that capability. All assuming you already have: -Process in termux: Then, you can look into your internal storage and create a folder/transfer a file into the the_binding folder to check if it works. (I couldn't find the internal storage on google files so I used mixplorer, you can use any file explorer, its just up to your preference). You can mark this issue as complete. Ideally, add something like this as a part of the installation documentation, for the dumb dumbs like me who don't know what to do, and need step by step instructions. I actually don't know if this is the correct way of doing it. Please correct me if I am wrong in any step. It would be comforting to have someone who knows what they are doing give the instructions. |
Everything before Glad you got it working. |
Hi,
I have downloaded make using choco on windows. Then running 'make mobile-install' gives me:
tar: Option --transform=s,^scripts/,pixel-backup-gang-snapshot/, is not supported
Usage:
List: tar -tf
Extract: tar -xf
Create: tar -cf [filenames...]
Help: tar --help
make: *** [Makefile:42: pixel-backup-gang-snapshot.tar.gz] Error 1
(Could this be a limitation of the tar command on windows, no '--transform' option?)
I also have no idea on how to do the process on the pixel phone. I'm just really new to this, and probably need a step by step process. I just find the current process a bit difficult to wrap my head around. Especially where to copy the scripts and files, what I need and where to run the files. Like an ELI5 would be amazing for amateurs like me who want to get the most out of my pixel phone.
Thanks for the help
