trying out TBNL without building sources

• This "release" is for trying out the latest build. In other words, it is a moving target.
• Use either the tbnl.tar binary package or the figurehead.apk APK package. Do not use the source code packages below: They are outdated.
• Instead, follow these instructions if you want to build from source.

After downloading tbnl.tar, do this to extract and install TBNL:

rm -f tbnl.tar; wget https://github.com/pw4ever/tbnl/releases/download/tryout/tbnl.tar && tar xvf tbnl.tar
cd tbnl
./install-to-guest.sh

If you just want to play with Figurehead (the Android power app part of TBNL), download figurehead.apk and:

adb root
adb remount
adb install -r figurehead.apk

nice things to have for building/running TBNL

If you want to try out TBNL, and do not have a device (or do not want to risk your device 😀),Genymotion emulator is a nice choice that, in my experience, runs much faster than the vanilla Android emulator. Although it is a commercial product, its free personal version is enough to give TBNL a full spin.

If you use Genymotion (which is, under the hood, a X86 VirtualBox image)), you might want to install its ARM translator to install, for example, Play Store and other apps (if you do not, you will get an error in doing "adb install" etc.).

See the attachment and also the original link for instructions.

NB In my experience, the Genymotion 4.3 (JellyBean) version works with ARM translator much more stable than the 4.4 (KitKat) version. That is why TBNL is developed against the Android 4.3_r3.1 release.
