Galoula made a huge update; I did all translations and debug. New tutorial, new quick installation guide.
Maybe you encontoured a bug that have been fixed ... just try it again
Wrong forum?
No.
If alterego712 install the latest version, and allows "send debug infos", and then send us a bug report ... we will be able to tell him which ROM will let Linux Installer work on his phone.
=> update, and report if bug is still here.
We have a list of working ROMs. That's why we need "debug reports" => "if it works for YOU, and you allowed debug, when people have the same hardware, and bugs, we can answer them that YOUR rom did it for you".
Mmm, yes? This is the Milestone forum, not only that, but you replied to almost a year old thread...
Hi, i've found my Old Milestone 1 with cyanogenmod 7 but it's overload, to less space...... is it possible to install a Linux like Kali or another over Recovery into the bootloader?
Sincerelly and much thanks
DriveDroid allows you to boot your PC from ISO/IMG files stored on your phone. This is ideal for trying Linux distributions or always having a rescue-system on the go... without the need to burn different CDs or USB pendrives. The paid version of DriveDroid does not include ads and helps the developer.
DriveDroid also includes a convenient download menu where you can download USB-images of a number of operating systems from your phone.
You can also create USB-images which allows you to have a blank USB-drive where you can store files in. Another possibility is to use tools on your PC to make a bootable USB-drive out of the blank image that DriveDroid created.

Distrowatch image repository
If you are missing a certain distribution or want more images available in the download list, you can add download repositories. At the moment I have made a repository for Distrowatch. These images are not officially supported, so they might not work for CD or USB booting.
Go to DriveDroids preferences, under "Image repositories" and add the following URL: http://softwarebakery.com/apps/drivedroid/repositories/distrowatch.json
USB Mass Storage (UMS)
DriveDroid relies on the kernel of Android, in particular the USB Mass Storage (UMS) feature. It allows your phone to act as an USB-drive and have a device (SDcard) or file (ISO/IMG) be used as the content for that emulated drive.
Different Android devices implement this feature differently. Most modern devices do not have UMS enabled by default, but it is supported by the kernel. I've added a option to DriveDroid to change the USB-mode for devices that do not support UMS by default, but no guarantees. I'm getting very mixed reports of devices working and not.
I need all the help I can get to fix this problem. Hopefully we can figure out some method to enable UMS in a stable way.
Hybrid-ISOs
Since most phones only support emulating USB-drives, DriveDroid will not act as an CD-drive. This means that not all ISO files will work, only hybrid-ISOs and IMG files. Hybrid-ISOs are specially crafted ISOs that is used on many modern Linux-distributions. DriveDroids downloadlist contains most of the distributions I've found that do have hybrid-ISOs.
This is just to notify you that you have to convert non-hybrid ISOs by writing the ISO to the emulated USB-drive. You can get a blank emulated USB-drive by creating a blank image through DriveDroids + menu.
Tutorials
Since some popular uses are not available out-of-the-box, I've written a few tutorials on my website that handle some of those uses:
Using Rufus to burn any ISO to DriveDroid *Recommended*
Windows installation on DriveDroid
Install Hirens Boot CD on DriveDroid (download the pre-built Hirens Boot CD image here)
Shrinking images on Linux to save space on your phone
USB-drive and CD-drive emulation
These two modes allow your phone to act as an USB-drive or as an CD-drive. Most devices only support USB-drive emulation. Some devices only support CD-drive emulation. To get both USB-drive as well as CD-drive emulation on your phone you need a patched kernel (see below).
With USB-drive emulation it is possible to boot IMG files and most Linux-based ISO. It also allows you to write to the disk, which allows you to create data-disks as well as install an OS onto the USB drive. The downside of this mode is that some ISOs will not boot, since those ISOs are created for CD-drives.
With CD-rom emulation it is possible to boot all CD-based ISOs.
So, having both USB-drive emulation as well as CD-rom emulation is preferable.
Some roms with a range of supported devices have patch reviewing systems in place where I periodically submit patches to new devices. You can check what kernels have the right patches in their patch review system. To know which kernel your device is using, check out this list to see kernels are used by what devices.
CyanogenMod: supported kernels

Hi,
Now there's a dedicated topic. :good: The place to give a bit of feed-back.
As I already said there, congrats for this idea and most of all, well made and user friendly. Thanks, mate.
It worked with no problem with the Samsung GS3 i9300 on WanamLite JB MB5 v6.2 with Wanam's Adam kernel v1.2 (I don't really know what Wanam cooked there but it works fine) that is MTP/PTP. Note that when DriveDroid's UMS is enabled, both check-boxes in the regular S3 USB panel have no marks (can normaly have only one checked, never none unchecked).
Other people may please confirm if it works on Galaxy S3 i9300 with stock or other custom kernels.
Less surprisingly, it works fine with Samsung GS2 i9100 on (WanamLite JB LSE v14.3) since it always had Mass Storage Transfer, afaik (but I'm not sure), actually on Wanam's v14.3 it has.
Working on pure CD format (like Daemon Tools for Windows or any Virtual CD mount system) would be top notch —TonyHoyle has cooked a kernel patch to enable virtual CD support, there's an idea to dig, Apple dmg should follow.
But for the moment with what is given, creating own disc ISO to fill with whatever you need later on a computer, is really fine. Polishing the angle to reach v1.0.
I've always wanted to do this. Thank you.

CD-Rom Support in Existing Kernels
Hi,
I'm using this on my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Omega Rom 43.x and the USB Drive support works great, once I turned off USB Debugging.
Does anyone know if any of the current Kernels for the Samsung Galaxy S3 have the required patches for the CD-rom support as I would also like to boot a couple of CD's from my phone.
Thanks
Kevin.
FrozenCow. does your app now support Note II fully?
Any how tos. I tried. But it's not working. Not complaining. The app is fine. I know I'm doing something wrong. Any help is appreciated thanks
EDIT:
Got it working. Awesome work dev. Here's a small step by step instructions for those who were noobs like me.
Download slitaz from within the app
Select slitaz iso.
Select S3C1 and F Mass Storage 1
Also enable Usb storage.
Disable ADB (Android Debugging)
Reboot system.
Do the thing with your boot procedure.
And voila, (I hope)
Thanks a lot dev. This really made my day. Keep rocking. All the best for this app. I will follow it closely :thumbup:

Yes, check whether the image has a partition table usually gives a very accurate indication that the disk is hybrid. To do this (under Linux) use the command:
Code:
$ fdisk -l myimage.iso
It'll show some info about the disk, but also a partition (usually that partition is marked as being NTFS/FAT, but I think that is part of the trick to make it work on both CD and disk). If it shows no partitions at all you know it probably isn't a hybrid disk.

For Linux distributions that are build on a recent version on syslinux you can use the tool 'isohybrid' like this:
Code:
$ isohybrid myimage.iso
It'll convert the iso so that it is hybrid. For all other ISOs (that are not build on syslinux) you can you the methods described for that OS to burn it to a USB drive. First create an image in DriveDroid, select the image so that it shows up on your PC as a USB disk, next use the OS-specific tools to burn the iso to the (emulated) disk. It'll be stored on the IMG you made.
You can try this on the official ISO of SliTaz 4 (so not the image form DriveDroids downloadlist). The devs forgot to make version 4 of their OS hybrid, but it does rely on syslinux, so it's possible to convert it using isohybrid. I've done this and put the converted ISO on my server, so that the hybrid-ISO is available in the downloadlist (I've only done this for SliTaz because it is so small and awesome).
If you see that a distro is convertable with isohybrid you should contact those devs. Some of them do not realize that this option is available or what the advantage is. When they distribute their ISO as a hybrid one I can put their distro on DriveDroids downloadlist too.

Ah, well, DriveDroid should show a CD icon next to the USB and locked-USB icons when selecting an image. At the moment only CyanogenMod nightly builds for the i9000 (kernel is named android_kernel_samsung_aries)

Question to all: if you have applied the patches on their kernel, please post it here so others can try it. As far as I know no-one has put such a kernel/rom online yet, except for CyanogenMod nightly for the Samsung Galaxy S.

Add "Disable ADB (Android Debugging)" to those instructions. It seems that's the final thing I need to add to DriveDroid to make it work for a lot of people. I've had several reports some Nexus devices stopped working because I fixed DriveDroid to allow ADB (previous versions just disabled ADB without consent). Some devices work with ADB running too (like my phone), but some just won't boot (although they do show up as USB devices on their OS).
Thanks
Thanks

Frozen,
Thank you for the app! I always felt my phone should be able to replace the USB sticks I have laying around. I saw the article on Lifehacker about DriveDroid and had to have it. And while I've been unsuccessful getting it to work on my GNex or my OG Droid, I've still purchased the app because of the way you're handling yourself on the forums. You're responsive, friendly, and I hope you can continue to be so when your app explodes in popularity even further. :good:
And it always helps having assistance from the XDA community.
Edit: It may also be debugging is my problem since that's on both of my phones and I just now read that could be causing issues.

Hah, indeed I see. Cool to see that it already was in there. I guess more rom-devs use CyanogenMod's patches. Now we'll just have to wait for a release so that more people will be able to use the CDrom feature and we'll have some more real-world testing.
Wow, this is sick... I hope I will be able to test that soon!
Really a cool idea!
Continu the good work!!!
[EDIT]
SliTaz boot on S5830d running firekernel and CM7based rom... will probably try to convert an WinPE to hybrid tomorrow at work and test... But omg I want to get my sgs back for real iso
Do you think your patch can be apply to CM7 kernel ? If its the case I may post in few thread.....
[EDIT2]
WinPE in 2 minutes..cool.. build the file is even faster than burning a cd. That procedure on your website is very usefull as a guideline
Hi,
I've forked and patched boeffla's kernel for GS3 compiled and now I can boot CD's and USB sticks from my phone. Not bad for my first attempt with a kernel.
Being new to github how do I post the patches for boeffla to merge with his kernel? As his kernel is based on Samsung Stock Kernel, is there a Github somewhere that all GS3 Dev's use that I could post the patches too?
I'll post an odin tar file for anyone who wants to try it when I get into work later.
Edit: And Heres the Link http://goo.gl/la909
Thanks Frozen for a great app.

I think it's possible to apply the patch to CM7 as-is (without conflicts), but I don't know for sure. The changes aren't that big and are applied to kernel code that shouldn't be changed much. However some device manufacturers do think it's needed to change the code in there, so I can never be sure .

Nice job. Well, I've been looking for something like this too. But I think Samsung just 'publishes' their kernel source as tars somewhere. No way to have input it seems. Where you want to apply this patch is at boeffla, CyanogenMod or Google. Since Samsung is basing their kernel on Google's (at least I think so), I think the ultimate goal is to let the patches be accepted by Google. I've looked at the process of doing this, but it involves quite some people. I first want to make sure these patches are tested on a number of devices (by applying the patches to popular custom roms first).
Anyway, Boeffla's account is available here: https://github.com/andip71
Fork one of his kernels (I'm not sure which one you're using), so that you have your own repository of his code. Now you can pull from your repository, apply the patch, commit and push to your repository (with git). Once pushed you can do a 'pull request' through github on the webpage of your repository. Github has quite a lot of information about how to do things here: https://help.github.com/
If you need help, feel free to ask or join me on IRC.
Hi kjtaylor13,
Thanks for the work. Witch Boeffla's version did you patched?
I'm used to run stock kernel or since his last firmware update, Wanam's Adam kernel that runs fine, except the author is not eager to mod the kernel too much --in his perspective to give us John "half-geek" Doe the best without too many settings hassle, it's perfectly understandable.
But this idea of hosting and launching real ISO is very exciting.

The version of the xpad driver shipped with this version of the linux 3.10 kernel doesn't support xbox one controllers.
https://github.com/TeamRegular/android_kernel_alcatel_msm8916/blob/dts/drivers/input/joystick/xpad.c
The driver is about 2 years old. If someone has a custom stock kernel available you could ask them to pick the changes here I just made for latest xpad driver from upstream
https://github.com/TeamRegular/android_kernel_alcatel_msm8916-stock/commits/cm-13.0-xpad
Thanks for the reply, there doesn't seem to be any custom kernels available for the 6039y so far (atleast here on XDA), maybe that'll change in the future but I'll have to wait it out and ask nicely when one arrives.
disregard this post, information gained after a bit of lurking on Github.

My interest in making the gamepad to work in the Idol 3 5.5 comes from this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.killig.gamepadime&hl=es, as the developer states that if the kernel has USB host mode and joydev.ko support it works.
