Teaser screenshots for you.

Now will need support from the fellow developers in establishing what all tools are running fine and what not.

======== Instructions =============

*********** ESSENTIALS ******************

1. Rooted Android. tested on 2.2 however should work on 2.1 and 1.6 also. (if you use custom rom's you meet the criteria)
2. Busybox configured (although it gets automatically configured @ rooting)
3. Android terminal application. (I use android terminal emulator)
4. Android VNC Viewer

********************************************

********** STEP's *************************

1. download all 3 parts of image and place them in single folder.
2. extract using first file and you will get following files
   1. bt
   2. bt.img
   3. startbt
   4. stopbt
   5. installbt.sh
3. Copy these files on your phone under /sdcard/bt
4. using terminal emulator run following commands
   
   Code:

     su
     cd /sdcard/bt
     sh installbt.sh

5. Now your BT should be configured automatically.
6. to use your BackTrack you can use following commands.
   1. startbt <- mounts and prepares the system for usage.
   2. stopbt <- unmounts and free up all resources.
   3. bt <- a command line version of BT chroot.
7. Inside bt shell.
   1. ui <- will start vncserver (default password is 12345678, you can change it using vncpasswd command on bt shell)
   2. killui <- stops the running vncserver.
8. Any Available VNC client can be used to connect to the BT GUI.
   1. Nick : BackTrack (bt for short)
   2. address : localhost
   3. port : 5901
   4. password : 12345678
   5. inside vnc window select input mode (following works best for me)
      1. Touch Mouse; D-Pad Pan
      2. Mouse pointer control mode
      3. TouchPad (here your screen works like a big touchpad use it to navigate mouse.)

*********** DO CHECK POST 3 after tonight ******************
Post 3 will be updated to be used as a catalogue of tips and tricks for all things related to this distro..

========= TIPS and TRICKS ==================
this section is for those who want to make simmilar image from base image on backtrack.

ohk so the basic challenge is
1) BacckTrack image is for Xoom and have following limitation w.r.t. Xperia X10.
a) File is 4.9 GB (vfat has limitation of 4 GB max)
b) vncserver resolution is 1280x800 per xoom.
2) installation script and setup script doesn't allow you to move in and out of BT.
3) it used loop2 for image mounting which conflicts with APP2SD.


so I have made following changes.
1) resized image to 3.3 GB (if space get filled we can extend image to upto 700 mb more.)
2) inserted my custom ui and killui code i use @ ubuntu.
3) provided startbt stopbt bt and installbt.sh scripts for all work.
4) changed loop no to 254 and hence this code is compatible with my ubuntu image effectively you can keep both in same sdcard...

I am attaching a log file for part 1 of the image work as this is very tricky.
The trick is if you create a new file of 3.3 GB you get limited set of inodes which get filled easily. so the command mke2fs must be supplied with inode numbers that you want to be build.

check attached txt for details.

============ SCREEN SHOTS =================

========= FAQ plus TIPS and TRICKS =====================

Q : Installbt.sh script not working properly i am recieving errors?

A: please cross check all steps if you have missed any.. otherwise post the output of error's in thread.

Q : sh installbt.sh works fine now i am getting errors in startbt or bt command.

A : please check following steps.

• Try rebooting the device and see if startbt and then bt works. if still error post the error output on thread.
• post output of following command

Q: what is the use of all the files besides bt.img
A : Listed is the description of all files.
1) sh installbt.sh is to be only used once in liftime. till you flash a new rom.
2) startbt is to be used once after every reboot.
3) bt is command to be used everytime after first use of startbt to get command prompt.
4) stopbt is to be used when you want to stop the bt service which is running in the background.
4) and inside the root@localhost prompt you can use ui and killui command to start and stop the vncserver.

Hi, I have a few questions that may seem stupid, but I'm a noob into this thread, so please forgive me
1. is this a full-functioning Linux distribution?
2. can i install apk files and if not where I can find apps that run on Backtrack?
3. lastly, does it lag like some of the ROM's?
I'm really, really interested into this development so I'd be thankful if you answer my questions.
thanks!

1) Yes its a fully functioning GNU/Linux disribution.
2) its linux and not android so any linux binary works. (should be arm compatible and not x86)
3) it will show slow response as its running in a chrooted environment alongside android so yes performance will be impacted.

This is really cool and it is working well on my samsung sgh i727 (skyrocket).

I followed the instructions and everything worked perfectly.

I'm just wondering if this will work with my phone (i know its not an x10 but i thought you might know)

I was also wondering how exactly I might access this from my computer.
I saw someone said all i need is the IP and password but I had a problem with it.

I have not seen monitor mode working on anything except G1 on android device.

to access gui on system.
you will need to connect phone in adb mode
then run following set of commands
adb forward tcp:5900 tcp:5900
adb forward tcp:5901 tcp:5901
vncviewer localhost:5901

use password as listed above.

My hosting service is down for some unknown reasons'....

I will be uploading the files on media temple and will give link by tonight....
