Congratulation guys for being the official maintainers now
Congrats Dasmoover, iadnah and special thanks and congrats to Durandal Dokuchayev Thank you Sir
keep up the good work

does the touch screen work????? what does and doesn't??????

I'm confused, do we have a kernel with loopback and ext2 support baked in? Or do we need to wait for someone to release? I was under the impression no one had implemented it yet
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

Loopback support is built into the kernel, using androidvnc you get touchscreen.

Hrm, need a little clarification on the instructions.
Its stated the .img file needs to be in a folder debdroid on the external SD card, but the instructions say to put it in /sdcard/debdroid, which is the internal SD card...external would be /sdcard/external_SD/debdroid...
Which way should it be with how the .conf is currently configured?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

Sorry, it's currently configured for the internal memory. Simply remount rw and change the /etc/debdroid.conf line.

Way over my head but thanks nonetheless!

Thank you for this op. I do not have a reason to run Linux but any new development is great. Still probably do it just to try it. Has anyone got it working yet or have any problems with bash?

I thought img files are for other devices not ours. Had this been tested on an epic touch or will there be some bricks?

There will always be bricks when people don't know what they're doing
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk

@jamesey, the .img are built for ARM platform, not device specific. Due to it being just 3 shell scripts being flashed over to /system/bin and /system/etc, there is no chance of a brick.
Tested on my Epic 4g Touch as in the screenshots of the img. FC22, Rogue CWM Kernel.

Hmm, any reason I would have trouble with this on cm9? The app just hangs when I hit run, then FCs...I'm running rogue fc18 kernel, so it shouldn't be a kernel issue. Are there any system dependant things?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

Known Bugs: Exit deployment does not work, you must kill the application by holding the back button or hitting exit deployment until it allows you to FC
If it FC's on run try using a terminal emulator with "su" then "sh debdroid" command. App is still WIP. If it gives you an error that way your foldername is wrong or the image is not in the right spot.

OK, I had assumed the bug was only when trying to exit.
Cm9 file structure is wonky, chroot starts successfully when using terminal, but getting some mkdir errors...I'll tinker around

Whats the difference between the original and custom backtrack imgs? Also do they include armitage? I want touchscreen armitage so bad! Last time I tried the arm backtrack i couldnt get it to install because some of the repos for the dependencies were offline

For anyone who is still in grade school. This is the stuff chicks dig. Show them the full Linux GUI on your phone and they will fall head over heels in love.
Stuff like this makes me wonder what Google was thinking using a mobile UI on a cell phone. I mean really!

http://tinyurl.com/7nw2zlf
3. Extract ubuntu.zip to the root of your sdcard. make sure you have room for 2GB!
4. Run terminal and type these commands
Code:
su
cd sdcard
cd ubuntu
sh ubuntu.sh
bootubuntu
cd
sh run.sh
5. So after that is complete, get out of terminal, but DO NOT close it and open "android-vnc-viewer" you downloaded.
6. Fill in the Information as follows
Code:
Nickname: Ubuntu
Password: 123123

Thanks for posting.
I had wanted to try this a long back but I thought that the screen would be too small to use.
What's your opinion, having used it on this 3.2" screen?
Is it usable? And is it useful?
As for hooking it up to a computer screen, you can try this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.onaips.vnc&hl=en
Droid VNC Server
Normally, it gives you access to the Android OS which then you could use to access Ubuntu but it may also be possible to directly access Ubuntu which then would be perfect! Give it a try and let us know.
Thank you!
That's what i'm looking for, tnx.

Is it possible to create a script for this?? I'm currently looking up on how to create scripts, and using Script Manager to run it..
Would be nice to have a shortcut that runs ubuntu without inputing the commands to Terminal.
Thought i hardly have any programming background/knowledge.. I'm not even sure if its possible..
Maybe someone can shed some light on the subject?
Thanks!

[RECOVERY] TWRP 2.2.2.1 for MyTouch 4G

This recovery.img is EXPERIMENTAL and for testing purposes only.
By flashing, you take full responsibility for your device!
This recovery was compiled using CM9 sources and twrp sources.
I have not fully tested this recovery for bugs. Find any let me know.
in bootloader fastboot mode:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp2.2.2.1-glacier-recovery.img
Recovery Information
NOTE:
Twrp is an open source project.
TWRP HOME PAGE
I do not take credit for creating this recovery.
Mad props to team win for creating this and making it open sourced.
I only compiled it to be compatible for use on this device.
SOURCES
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/23903-how-to-compile-twrp-from-source/
https://github.com/TeamWin/Team-Win-Recovery-Project/
https://github.com/CyanogenMod
Introduction:
Team Win Recovery Project 2.2, or twrp2 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. We started from the ground up by taking AOSP recovery and loading it with the standard recovery options, then added a lot of our own features. It’s a fully touch driven user interface – no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.
Features:
Ability to save custom recovery settings
Touchscreen driven with real buttons and drag-to-scroll
XML-based GUI that allows full customization of the layout – true theming!
Settings are saved to the sdcard and persist through reboots
Ability to choose which partitions to back up and which to restore
Ability to choose to compress backups – now with pigz (multi-core processor support for faster compression times)

[APP] Flash Image GUI - Flash Kernels and Recoveries from normal Android mode!

Flash Image GUI allows the flashing of kernels and custom recovery images from normal android mode!
Credits:
birbeck for the usual random java guidance, slushpupie for his previous java guidance, dodgejcr for extreme amounts of testing, and one_love_420 and shift for some great graphics!
testers: JT-, couga6442, happytweak and many others I might have forgot in the furry of three days I built the initial app from scratch.!
Thanks to SDX
Background:
flash_image (bmlwrite) is an extremely useful utility for flashing custom kernels, boot logos (so far ONLY Samsung devices) and recoveries. This binary has made it possible to easily flash all these items and is used almost everywhere behind the scenes (i.e. in custom recoveries, packaged into kernel /sbin, etc).
Description:
This android application, FlashImageGUI, is basically a GUI interface for the linux binary, flash_image provided by google in AOSP for loading custom kernels and recovery images onto the phone.
This app allows the flashing of kernels and custom recovery images in normal android mode!
Current Device Support:
Full Kernel, Logo and Recovery flashing: Samsung Moment, Transform, Intercept and Acclaim - the s3c6410 series of devices
Full Kernel (Anykernel and boot.img) Flashing and Recovery (zip file or image) flashing: Nexus 4, Nexus 10, Nexus 7, Samsung Google Galaxy Nexus (GSM & CDMA), Nexus S/Nexus S 4G, HTC One XL, One S, EVO 4G LTE, EVO 3D CDMA and GSM, Amaze, Vivid/Holiday, EVO 4G, EVO Shift, & LG Optimus
Custom Recovery
Supports both CWM and TWRP!
Future Support:
Will continue to test kernels as they are released to ensure compatibility!
Install Directions:
Install process is the same as any other .apk. Download to computer and adb push or mount sdcard on computer and copy over or download directly to the phone. Use any file manager, adb, connectbot/terminal emulator to install.
My preferred method, maybe a bit technical: ./adb install c:\downloads\FlashImageGUI.apk
Download Locations
Market (99 cents!): Flash Image GUI
Release version (free): Flash Image GUI
Contact:
Any questions, comments, concerns, or issues, please post in this thread or send me an email! Thanks for all the help and support!

Feedback:
Please post any helpful feedback. I'm always looking to improve the application!
Basic Troubleshooting:
Troubleshooting after Rebooting:
First step, when experiencing issues flashing is to RE FLASH the files again. Many times, re flashing again will clear up any issues. If not, see the issues/solutions below.
Issue #1: If the device hangs or reboots while on the splash screen, the kernel (or packaged ramdisk in the kernel) is NOT compatible with your device!!!
Solution for #1: Have to boot into fastboot and load the custom recovery to flash a known good kernel or restore a previously known good nandroid backup. Command: fastboot boot c:\downloads\cwm-recovery.img
Issue #2: If the device hangs or reboots while on the boot animation, the ROM is likely NOT compatible with the kernel!!!
Solution for #2: Have to boot into fastboot and load the custom recovery to flash a known good ROM/kernel combination either from a zip file or restore from a nandroid backup.

[Windows/Linux][Source]Optimus G All in One Root/Unlock

Hello everyone.
I have created an AIO tool for the Sprint LG Optimus G. (G AIO, or GAIO).
I am trying to spur up more people to get interested in rooting and unlocking their devices to get more action around here. I have coded this AIO tool quickly to help those who can not find root/unlock information, are too lazy to do it, or don't know how to use it.
The AIO tool supports both Linux and Windows (Not sure about Mac OS X, please don't test on Mac because I won't know the outcome).
The tool supports both unlocking the bootloader and rooting the device via Linux AND Windows. The AIO tool is programmed in Java to allow that to happen.
Before I continue, I would like to point out I did not make the unlock/root methods.

Fixed deleting temporary files on exit
Added software version check to check if device is supported. ZV9 added to unsupported list at the time
Updated Bin4y root scripts to v18
Modified those root scripts to work automatically
Added JSON library. Example of use, http://gaio.dark-hosting.net/gaio/recovery.json Allows for dynamic elements in program
Added recovery installer! Needs internet connection. Currently supports TWRP and clockwork
Added element to check if device bootloader is unlocked
Add boot restore function! Restore your boot.img if you flashed a bad kernel. Requires internetc connection
Added automatic LG Driver installer. Requires internet connection
LG Installer will check if Windows driver is installed, if not, gracefully ask the user to install it.
Added an update function. This only checks for an update if you are connected to the internet
The update is checked on start, once, in the background and only annoys you if you are out of date
Update Swing GUI threading the correct way, since Swing is not thread safe
Fixed many graphical errors
Fixed some exceptions
Fixed many other random bugs and cleaned up some code
1.00:
Initial Release
Future Additions:
Remove Root
Remove Unlock
Implement Reboot menu (recovery, bootloader etc.)
I hope this is useful for some people, my intention was to centralize and ease the rooting and unlocking process. I am sorry if the program doesn't work for your specific computer. I am also sorry if my code is a little unorganized, as this was made rather quickly.
Thanks bro i haven't rooted yet still waiting on this update ( jellybean ) too come ... fingers crossed
But when i do i will def use this. THANKS FOR YOUR HARD WORK AND TIME BRO.
I'm rooting after finals but if this works with windows 8 and only takes one click, I may just root this week!

Should work with Windows 8. No reason it shouldn't. Let me know how it goes and thanks for your interest.
Awesome!!

Just used this to root, works perfectly and very easy. Thanks a lot!
This is awesome! It'll definitely generate more interest here.
I've been rooted and unlocked as soon as available. And loving it. This phone will come into its own soon. Thank you.

Going to give this a try in a few minutes I have been to lazy and with school and a family I do think have a lot of free time. With any other device I'm usually rooted within the first day of owning it just didn't have a huge need this phone is dang good stock
Just dl'd and saved as a zip. Extracted zip. Can't figure out how to run AIO
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
It is not a zip file. It is a .jar file. You need Java installed to run it. If you are on windows you should be able to open it by double clicking.
EDIT: that worked thank you again

Oh okay thanks. I will redownload as the dot jar

I downloaded the zip then spent about 20 minutes trying to figure out why it wouldn't run last night. Went back to the download page and saw I had the wrong thing. I after downloading it 20 minutes later I had a rooted and unlocked LG Optimus g.
Awesome! Good sign of progress for us OG users.

Good job. I am already rooted and unlocked but this will make things so much easier for those who aren't.
Will this method work even if i have ZV8.IMM76L?
Should I root, then unlock or vice versa?

Yes! You can root and unlock with this tool on ZV8. You must root first, then unlock.

[RECOVERY][UNOFFICIAL] TWRP Touch Recovery 2.8.5.0 \\ 07.04.15

Team Win Recovery Project 2.x, or twrp2 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. It’s a fully touch driven user interface – no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.​​
Phone look:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
CHANGELOG for 2.5.0.0+:
Code:
Special Note: If you are running a custom theme, you will likely need to remove that theme before updating to 2.5.0.0 as your custom theme will likely not be compatible with the new changes!
-Added scrollable partition lists for mount, backup, restore, wipe, and storage selection
-Add new SliderValue GUI element for selecting brightness and screen timeout (thanks to Tassadar)
-Re-work AOSP and TWRP code to improve license compatibility between GPL and Apache
-Added official theme for 1080x1920 portrait devices (HTC One m7, HTC DNA, HTC Butterfly, Oppo Find 5, Sony Xperia Z, etc)
-Fixed a problem with directory permissions on split archive backups (backups usually restored with no app data)
-Fixed a problem with md5 verification of backups
-Added a search function to libtar (thanks to kokotas)
-Improve handling of XML errors (fix permissions)
-Fixed handling of subpartitions
-Improvements to recovery.fstab flags
-Fixed a problem with decryption not being able to locate the decryption key in some situations
Downloads
Recovery - 07.04.15
My favorite theme for this recovery
How to install:
Go to recovery and flash :good:
How to install themes:
Download theme.zip and rename it to ui.zip
On SD card open the TWRP folder and create a new folder titled "theme" (case sensitive)

WOW thanks. I was someone wishing someone would make this just so I could play it cause I use 4ext. Thanks again for taking your time to keep our device alive.
Errr mah gurrr I love twrp o.o
Thank you coderz. I found a problem when flashing kernels, something about superuser. I'll give you more details later after I catch a few Z's :3
This is awesome thanks for making this.
Small question: you can flash a recovery from a recovery? I thought you had to flash an IMG file from fastboot...

Well the Instructions say to flash so I dunno. Just try it. What's the worst that could happen

@coderzs if you get a chance, could you update this to 2.6? I normally wouldn't ask this sort of thing but having encrypted backups is cool! And of course bug fixes
