How to Install Ubuntu on Your Nexus One/Android! AMANAHAD

 UPDATE: I’ve made a new site called AndroLinux.com to dedicate to Android on Ubuntu.

(World’s first installation of Ubuntu on an Android smartphone! WHOOHOO!)
This guide is for those of you who want to install Ubuntu as a sub-system under your Nexus One or any other rooted Android smartphone, I’ve tried to make it easy as possible for everyone.
UPDATE: Now Ubuntu is also available on HTC Evo 4G!
As you can see, I’ve used a rooted Nexus One here but you could have trouble with other Android phones as not all Android phones are built exactly alike but might work well also, you never know until you try it.
I am also working on Ubuntu on my rooted HTC Evo 4G, that should be available later this month over at HTCEvoHacks.com.
You could probably also run Ubuntu directly off your Nexus One/Android phone but that probably means not being able to use it as a phone and you probably would lose your camera.
To be on the practical side, I think it’s ideal to run Ubuntu along with your Nexus One/Android phone as I will be showing you here.
This Ubuntu install will not affect your existing Android system, the Ubuntu terminal will run in the background while the Ubuntu X11 graphical user interface will run as an app under Android VNC app.

Why are you installing Ubuntu on your Nexus One/Android phone?

Being able to have Ubuntu on your Nexus One/Android phone means that you can run native Ubuntu/linux applications off your phone!
I also see many uses in college engineering classes when they are studying Ubuntu/linux.  Instead of heading to the lab or having dual-boot on their computer, students will be able to use their Nexus One/Android phone as a test device.
Even for web designers, their Android phone can become a portable test web server to test out their new designs.
The list will go on and there’s absolutely no reason why we shouldn’t run Ubuntu or other linux systems on Android phones.
Lastly, for open-source people like me, free code is priceless, it’s going to be what’s driving the world in the next 10-20 years, if it ain’t already.
I don’t want to bore you with my philosophy so let me show you step-by-step how to install Ubuntu on your Nexus One.

How to Install Ubuntu on your Nexus One/Android Phone!

Before anything, download ubuntu.zip and unzip it:
Download ubuntu.zip
(Please feel free to mirror other places if you’d like!)
1. First, you will need a rooted Nexus One/Android phone.  If you have a Nexus One, go follow these directions and root your phone first!
UPDATE: Also, you need to install the latest Busybox, try this guide here to install Busybox.
2. Once you have a “rooted” Android phone, you will be able to run Ubuntu under Chroot.
What is Chroot?
I just found about this myself the other day while doing this but Chroot in layman’s terms is basically the ability to run other operating systems under your current system (in this case Android).  Chroot was initially developed to test new operating systems in a virtual environment but will work perfectly in this case for our project here as it will allow us to use Ubuntu as a “virtual” machine under Android system.  Yes, just think of it like Sun Virtualbox or VMWare for Android and other linux systems.
On one more note, you can only “chroot” another operating system made for your system’s architecture.  For example, most new Android smartphones including Nexus One, HTC Evo 4G, and Droid X all use ARM architecture CPU, meaning you can only use ARM-based linux systems/ports.
In this case, we are lucky because Ubuntu has an ARM-port.   It’s most likely the case that you can also “chroot” other linux devices that support ARM.  I am also working on chrooting other popular distros like Fedora, Gentoo, and more.
3. Now you understand what Chrooting is, let’s copy over the files we need for chroot.   These files include an image file of Ubuntu ARM (basically root filesystem that can be mounted onto Android phone using the command mount), setup script file (ubuntu.sh), chroot boot/launch file (bootubuntu), unionfs, fsrw, and mountonly.
Copy these six files over into your SD card’s root folder under folder name “ubuntu“.  Or you can just unzip the file I provided and copy the ubuntu folder over to your SD card’s root folder.

(Yup, I am already working on other Linux distros!  But Ubuntu is my favorite.)
The script files were modified (by myself) from other instructions on the web on installing Debian to a G1 phones (thanks to Saurik).   Btw, Debian and Ubuntu are pretty much the same linux as Ubuntu is just an extension of Debian so you should be able to easily run Debian too using the same method, just change the file names.
4. Before we go any further, make sure to “Turn off USB storage” on your phone so we can access the SD card from ADB Shell.  Let’s also make sure your USB Debugging mode is checked under Settings->Applications->Development.  (And yes, don’t forget to connect your Nexus One/Android phone to your computer via USB!)
5. I am assuming you’ve already installed the Android SDK (while you were rooting your phone) so let’s head to your Android SDK directory and load up ADB Shell.
For Windows, go to your Android SDK Tools directory such as c:\sdk\tools and type “adb shell“.

(FYI, cd is the command you can use to browse to your sdk\tools directory.  For Windows, do cd \sdk\tools and for Mac/Linux, do cd /sdk/tools.
For linux and Mac, go to your Android SDK Tools directory such as /sdk/tools and type “./adb shell” or it can also be “sudo ./adb shell” for Ubuntu.
6. Once you are in the ADB shell, you should see a “#”symbol.  Great, let’s start bootin’ Ubuntu right away.
7. Type “su” to enter superuser mode.  Btw, if you get error on this part, that means you have not rooted your phone! (or you might have to installed a rooted ROM.)
8. Next, type “cd /sdcard/ubuntu“, which will take you to the directory where you’ve copied the Ubuntu files over to.
9. Type “sh ./ubuntu.sh” to run the setup script.  You only have to run this once or whenever you change the script file bootubuntu.

10. Once that completes, type “bootubuntu” to “chroot” or boot into your new Ubuntu on your Android!

If you get the “localhost” sign, congratulations!  You’ve just installed Ubuntu on your Nexus One/Android phone!
If you didn’t get that and you got an error falling back to the ground at 200MPH back at the “#” symbol, don’t worry, I did that about a thousand times for 2 days straight, you are not alone.
Try rebooting your phone and repeat steps 5 through 10 CAREFULLY and I am sure you will get it working.  A lot of times, our eyes can lie to us while following step-by-step directions, really!
Also, if you are not using a Nexus One here, you could be running into other problems as I have still not yet been able to chroot into Ubuntu on my HTC Evo 4G.

How to Get X11 GUI up and running on your Nexus One/Android Phone!

11. I actually prefer the command line over GUI because it saves so much memory and I am pretty proficient doing things in the terminal but the GUI gives you a full desktop experience over Ubuntu so first, you will need to download the latest version of Android VNC Viewer in form of .apk file.  After downloading it on your phone (or copy it over to your SD card after you download it on your computer), open it up and install the app.
12. You will next need to install some files via Ubuntu apt-get installer.  Go back to the chrooted Ubuntu terminal and type:
apt-get update
to update your Ubuntu packages then:
apt-get install tightvncserver

to install the TightVNCServer and:
apt-get install lxde

to install the LXDE.
13. Next type:
export USER=root
vncserver -geometry 1024×800

Here you can set your password to VNCserver like I did as “123123123“.
*Note – You can also change 1024×800 to the exact resolution of your Android phone’s LCD resolution but I found that a bit higher resolution gives you better display, so the Nexus One has 800×480 but I set it to 1024×800 for better viewing.
Next, we are going to add the following to /root/.vnc/xstartup file using cat command:
cat > /root/.vnc/xstartup
#!/bin/sh
xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
icewm &
lxsession
Then hit Ctrl+D twice and Enter key.

14. Next open up the Android VNC app on your Nexus One/Android phone and enter the password you set earlier in step 13 and set the Port to 5901.
15. Next hit connect and voila, you should get something like this, a cool GNome Ubuntu screen!!!
16. Now, let’s setup your chrooted Ubuntu so you can make the VNCserver run everytime you start the chrooted Ubuntu.
17. Next, let’s add some code to the /root/.bashrc file, which runs at every boot of your Ubuntu so the VNCServer runs automatically when you start the Ubuntu.
cat > front
export USER=root
cd /
rm -r -f tmp
mkdir tmp
cd /
vncserver -geometry 1024×800
Then hit Ctrl+D twice and Enter key.

Next, we will concatenate the file we just made front and /root/.bashrc into a new file called temp:
cat front /root/.bashrc > temp
Then we will copy the new file temp over the existing /root/.bashrc.
cp temp /root/.bashrc

(I used Windows command.com terminal, which keeps echoing things twice.  It only happens on Windows because of echo!)
*Note – The reason why I used cat command to do everything here is for Windows users because the vi text editor doesn’t function correctly within Windows shell.  But you can always just use your favorite Ubuntu text editor if you are using Linux or Mac.  (Just add contents of file front into the beginning of /root/.bashrc This way, I only have to write one howto manual that works for every platform.  For Windows users, you can also install SSH (do “apt-get install openssh-server“) and use an SSH client such as PuTTy.)
To check that it’s working you can exit out of Ubuntu back into Android shell:
exit
then boot Ubuntu back up:
bootubuntu
Now everytime you chroot/boot your Ubuntu, the VNCServer is start automatically at start-up.
You can use Terminal Emulator app (freely available on Android market) to start the Ubuntu chroot by entering:
su
bootubuntu
so you don’t need to connect  to ADB shell to launch Ubuntu, giving you the freedom to use Ubuntu along with Android whereever you go.
That’s it!

BOOTUBUNTU UPDATE FIX

UPDATE: For people having trouble getting it to work (thanks to people testing it at XDA Developers), try downloading the new bootubuntu file here then:
Go run the ubuntu.sh by doing on ADB shell:
su
cd /sdcard/ubuntu
sh ./ubuntu.sh
then
bootubuntu

Google’s Android Reborn as Network-Hacking Kit

The Pwn Pad Photo: AmanAhad

The folks at security tools company Pwnie Express have built a tablet that can bash the heck out of corporate networks. Called the Pwn Pad, it’s a full-fledged hacking toolkit built atop Google’s Android operating system.
Pwnie Express will be selling the cool-looking hack machines — based on Google’s Nexus 7 tablets — for $795. They’ll be introduced at the RSA security conference in San Francisco next week, but Pwnie Express is also releasing the Pwn Pad source code, meaning that hackers can download the software and get it up and running on other types of Android phones and tablets.
Some important hacking tools have already been ported to Android, but Pwnie Express says that they’ve added some new ones. Most importantly, this is the first time that they’ve been able to get popular wireless hacking tools like Aircrack-ng and Kismet to work on an Android device.
“Every pen tester we know has a phone and a tablet and a laptop, but none of them has been able to do pen-testing from the tablet,” says Dave Porcello, Pwnie Express’s CEO.
The trick here is that Android’s streamlined version of the Linux operating system does not support the kernel-level wireless features that these tools need to mess around with the data on wireless networks (something known as packet injection).
Pwnie Express solved the problem by getting a TP-Link wireless adapter to support packet injection on Android. (It’s the white device with an antenna that’s plugged into the Android phone in the picture, above.) This may be a little more cumbersome than hacking the wireless chip that Android ships with, but the TP-Link’s antenna give it perhaps 10 times the range, Porcello says.
A year ago, we introduced you to the Pwn Plug, another Pwnie Express product. It’s a little white box used by security testers and administrators to open back doors to corporate networks. There’s also the Pwn Plug, a version of the tool that looks like a regular old power strip. And Pwnie Express already sells a pen-testing phone, but it’s based on an aging Nokia phone that runs Linux, not Android.
Pwnie Express thinks that the Pwn Pad will be popular with security pros who will want to have fun and impress clients by whipping out a brand-new tablet and showing how they can identify a slew of security problems with just a few taps.
It’s easier to use, more portable and frankly, “just slicker” than doing this with a laptop, says Porcello. “Our customers are geeks and they love the latest stuff.”
So will there be an iPad version of the Pwn Pad? Don’t bank on it.
That’s because the kind of kernel-level modifications that Pwnie Express needs to do to make the tablets run their software would not sit well with Apple, which doesn’t like it when developers jailbreak or otherwise mess with their IOS software. “I even called them and said we’d like to purchase 10,000 iPads, but we’d need to modify it slightly,” Porcello says.
Apple said “no.”

Samsung Galaxy S3 tips and tricks | AMANAHAD

Make the most of your Samsung Galaxy S3 with these top tips and tricks

Even though Samsung's Galaxy S4 has been on the market for most of this year, its Galaxy S3 predecessor remains a fantastic -- and ever popular -- device.
That's why we've decided to update our lengthy list of Galaxy S3 tips and tricks (especially since we know some of you are expecting a Galaxy S3 under the tree this year). Below you'll find a complete guide to help you get the most out of your Android-powered handset. Oh, and if you've already moved on to the Galaxy S4, we've got you covered there too:

How to change your Home screen to "Easy mode"

First-time smartphone users can breathe easy with Samsung's Galaxy S3, as the company has included the option to switch your home screen over to a more simplified option. Samsung's Easy mode home screen offers a stripped down layout with bigger icons and less clutter. Seasoned smartphone users need not bother with this one, but it's a welcome addition for folks who are making the transition for the first time. The larger layout is also nice for older people who may not have the sharp vision often required for standard mode.
To switch over to simpler times, simply go to Settings and locate the Home screen options. From there, you'll be able to change the look with a few simple taps. Once you're comfortable with the device, you can switch right back over to standard mode.

How to add home screens

Speaking of the home screen, did you know you can add more than what's offered right out of the box? Samsung Galaxy S3 lets you add up to seven home screens, which you can use to fill with apps and widgets. But it doesn't start off that way. To add more home screens, use a pinching gesture (pinch inward) on the home screen and then tap on the "+" button. This will let you add up to seven screens. While seven screens may seem like a lot at first, you'll be thrilled that the option exists once you start downloading countless apps.

How to set mobile data limits

The Samsung Galaxy S3 is a great device for browsing the web, downloading apps, streaming music and watching videos but some of you may have a data cap. When this is the case, you might want to be warned when you're approaching your limit.
Luckily, it's very simple to do with the Samsung Galaxy S3. Simply dive into your Settings, tap on the Data usage tab and then hit the Set mobile data limit column. From there, you can set how much data you want to use before getting a warning.

How to back up your photos online

The Samsung Galaxy S3 has a fantastic camera and you should take advantage of that with some online storage services. The Samsung Galaxy S3 comes with 50GB of free Dropbox storage and the latest app will let you automatically upload photos to it.
That's not the only way, as you can use the Google+, Facebook and SugarSync apps to automatically upload your pictures. These can be shown publicly but the default is to upload these privately.

How to change the font on your Samsung Galaxy S3

Let's face it, the default fonts on the Samsung Galaxy S3 can get a bit boring after a while, so why not give your Samsung Galaxy S3 a facelift and change the font?
To do this, first head to Google Play where you can find a range of fonts and font apps available to download. Once you've downloaded and installed your favorite font, head to Settings>Display and you should see an option to change the font.
Select the font you've just downloaded from the list and voila, your device will be transformed.
Here's a pick of our favorite font apps available to download:

• Fontomizer SP
• iFont
• CleanPack for FlipFont
• Gothic Pack for FlipFont

How to organize your apps in folders

When you've downloaded a ton of apps, it can be a bit of a pain to have to keep flipping through multiple home pages to keep getting the apps you want. Luckily, organizing your apps into folders is quite easy to do with the Samsung Galaxy S3.
To create folders on your home screen, simply long press an app and then drag it on top of another. This will create a folder with those two apps and you can easily rename the folder, as well as add more apps.

How to switch to vibrate mode on the Samsung Galaxy S3

The Samsung Galaxy S3 supports a number of sound modes, for ringtones, text messaging, emails and any other alert. It's easy to switch between silent mode, sound mode and vibrate mode.
Just tap the volume down button on the side of your device while you're on the homescreen and a volume bar will show up. Keep pressing until you see the vibrate icon appear and your device vibrates slightly.

How to switch of text message alerts on the Samsung Galaxy S3

If your device is in silent mode, but still makes a noise when you receive text messages, you'll need to head to the sound settings to change it and ensure you won't hear a peep from your phone when you get an alert.

1. From the home screen, tap on Messaging.
2. Now, select the Menu key, then settings. Now choose Select ringtone. A pop up will appear. From this list, select Silents, then OK.
3. Your device should now not utter a sound when you receive a text message.

How to improve Google Now cards on the Samsung Galaxy S3

One of the cool things about the Samsung Galaxy S3 with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean is that you can activate Google Now, the contextual "search" feature, which uses the data it knows about you to deliver important information quickly. You can make Google Now even better by adding and customizing your cards.
One way to do this is to enable your Web history. Go to history.google.com and tap on the "Turn Web history on" box and it will have a bit more data to pull from. Be sure that you understand this will be opening up your privacy to Google more but it may help your Google Now experience, so think about the benefits and downsides.

How to install a new keyboard on the Samsung Galaxy S3

If you want to try a new keyboard on your Galaxy S3, it's very simple to change. Go into Settings, tap on Language and input and then tap on Default. Depending on which new keyboard you've downloaded, you'll be able to make that the standard input method on your Galaxy S3.

How to multitask on the Samsung Galaxy S3

You can use multiple applications at once on the Samsung Galaxy S3 really easily. To enter the multitasking screen where you can see all of the apps you have open, tap the Home key and then task manager.
From here, you can tap the Active applications to see the apps you have running. Tap end or End all to close individual or all applications.
Tap the Downloaded tab to see all the apps you have downloaded. From here, you can uninstall them.
You can see how much RAM is being used by each application in the RAM tab and clear the memory to free up space and speed up your device, while the storage tab tells you how much space you have on your device.
Help will give you tips and tricks to help you save battery and free up RAM to get your Nexus 4 working to its best.

How to take a screen shot on the Samsung Galaxy S3

We're always taking screen shots to use for our reviews but you'd be surprised at how often it can come in handy. Maybe you want to preserve a picture of your high score in Angry Birds Friends or share an image of how your phone is freaking out. Luckily, this is a very simple thing to do: simply hold down the power and home button at the same time and a screen shot animation will take place.
You'll then get a notification at the top of your screen and the screen shot will be saved to your gallery. You can share it via your social networks by going into your Gallery, clicking on it and then hitting the Share button.
There's another way to take a screen shot on the Samsung Galaxy S3. Go into the Settings, tap on Motion, go down to find Hand Motion and then click on Palm Swipe to Capture. Now, whenever you want to take a screen shot, do a swiping motion across the screen with your hand and you should take a screen shot.

How to select a screen lock on the Samsung Galaxy S3

Putting a screen lock will help secure your Galaxy S3 and this can be done by going into the Settings and then tapping on Security. Tap Screen Lock and you'll then have the option to put in Swipe, Motion, Face unlock, Face and Voice, Pattern, PIN or Pinword.

How to customize your lock screen on the Samsung Galaxy S3

If you've set up a screen lock, you'll also be able to control what info appears on it.
To add your own apps to the lock screen simply follow our short step-by-step guide below:

1. From the Galaxy S3 home screen, navigate to and open the Settings app.
2. Now scroll down the settings menu and tap Security, then Lock screen options.
3. Once inside, confirm that the shortcut button is turned on and then tap Shortcuts.
4. Now you will be presented with four icons. Drag to the trash those that you want to remove from the lock screen and use the + symbol to add new app shortcuts.

How to encrypt device, SD card on the Samsung Galaxy S3

If you encrypt your Samsung Galaxy S3, go into Settings, tap on Security and then tap on either Encrypt device or Encrypt SD card. Once you've tapped these, you'll go through the on-screen instructions for securing your device further.

How to use Share Shot on the Samsung Galaxy S3

The Galaxy S3 has an amazing camera and one of the coolest features is called Share Shot, which enables you to quickly share shots with nearby Samsung users in real time. In the Camera app, tap on the shooting mode button (in the middle) and then scroll down and check Share shot. Have your other Samsung-toting friends do the same and as long as you're within 100 meters of each other, shared images will be stored in a Share Shot album on the device.
This can come in handy in a variety of situations and one of the most obvious is when you're taking a group photo. We've all been in that situation where we're posing and the shooter then has to take photos with various people's phones.

Virual Router Download + Install AMANAHAD

Concerning hardware, your computer needs to have a wireless device and driver supporting the Windows Virtual Wifi and Wireless Hosted Network features. If the drivers are Windows 7/8 certified, they should be supported by Virtual Router. If you're not sure, check out the list of known supported devices on the developer's page.

Step 1 - Download and Install

After you made sure your computer is wireless-ready you need to download Virtual Router. This is a free application so you don't have to pay anything for it. Once you've downloaded the installer, double-click on it to start the setup.

The installation process for Virtual Router is extremely simple. All you have to do is agree with the license terms and proceed to the setup window where you can select the installation folder and whether you want to install the program for just the current Windows user or all users. If you're not sure what to do with these options, leave the default settings and click the "Next" button.

Step 2 - Settings

Now it's time to actually use Virtual Router, so double-click the application to run it. By default, the application runs in the system tray. To open Virtual Router Manager (the program's interface) double-click the tray icon. Make sure you are connected to the Internet using the connection you want to share.

The settings are straightforward:

1. Fill in the network's name (SSID) - This can be any name you want, although you should choose a relevant one so you know that's your shared Internet Connection.

2. Choose a password - Since a virtual router works just like the physical device, you need a password to prevent unauthorized intruders from using your Internet Connection.

3. Select the connection you want to share from the drop-down menu - You can use the Refresh button if you've connected to it while the Virtual Router Manager was already open and it wasn't showing up in the list.

4. Start Virtual Router - Press this button, once you've completed all the settings to enable your shared connection.

Step 3 - Test the shared Internet Connection

If everything went well and Virtual Router is started you should be seeing your newly created connection in the Windows connections list.

Your computer should be currently connected to two connections: the connection you've shared, and the one you've just created.

To connect to it with any wireless-ready device (phone, laptop, tablet...etc) simply select the appropriate network and fill in the password, like you would for any other connection. Voila! You are now successfully sharing your Internet connection!

Erm......errors anyone?

Step 4 - Troubleshooting

"The group or resource is not in the correct state to perform the requested operation

This is the most common error you can get from Virtual Router. There's a number of reasons for this error and several fixes, but you can't know which one works for you until you try them. After each step you should try to start Virtual Router to see if it solved your problem.

• The first step is to make sure your wireless adapter has the latest drivers. You can find in in the Windows Device Manager under Network Adapters.
• The second step, you need to make sure the hosted network can run. To do that, press the Windows Start button, open "Run" and type cmd to open a Command Prompt window (you'll need administrator rights). In the window type : netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow
• To continue, check if the Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter is enabled. It's also under the Network Adapters section in the Windows Device Manager. Double-click it and the Properties window will pop-up. If under Device Status you see the message : "This device is disabled (Code 22). Click Enable Device to enable this device." it means it wasn't running and you do need to enable it.
• If the previous step didn't work either, there's a Microsoft hotfix available for a common problem that can occur on computers running under Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2. You can download it from here.

Other issues

If you experience other problems with Virtual Router the first thing you can do is check if your wireless device's drivers are up to date and that you didn't give your shared connection the same SSID of a network you already have. After that take a look at the developer's F.A.Q since your problem can be listed there.

If Virtual Router doesn't work for you, try out some alternatives. Connectify Hotspot is also a very popular and capable application, although the free version (Lite) has limited functionality. Another free tool for wireless sharing of Internet connections is Virtual Router Plus, which was created as an improved version of Virtual Router that also supports Windows 2012.
