Playing movies on rooted Devices!
original post by : ogdobber
you can rent the movie with a rooted device...you just can't watch it (but you can with this trick)
open terminal on phone
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
mv /system/bin/su /system/bin/mu
close terminal and you will be able to watch rented movies on your rooted device
to revert open terminal
Code:
mu
mount -o rw,remount /system
mv /system/bin/mu /system/bin/su
google movie looks for su by name, easy work around because naming it to mu you still have suid, but rooted apps (as well as google movie) are looking for su "name" as well..with the terminal you can tell it suid is mu
gsript doesn't work on this because it too looks for su on the revert
you can copy the code to a notepad and paste it in terminal so you don't have to type every time

This is the only page on here.. where is the other link at for that?

and for everybody that dont know if you dont want to do the above mentioned code you can rent with market and then just watch it in your browser whether your rooted or not..

You tried the Gurmukhi thing which I posted in the MIUI Q&A thread?
Try that.
Because, THat worked for me in stock.

Yes Rohan ! I tried Gurmikhi font from the link given by you, but still script is rendered as blocks. I had read online that there's some compatibility issue with ROMS other than stock with regional fonts. Should I try on stock ROM ?
Sent from my GT-I9003 using XDA

Eventally another font of a theme is used. Try to make a your own theme that only has your font files in it.

Try it on Stock ROM

On Stock ROM, it works..
Try the Gurmukhi thing TWICE>

Try this, download the Arial Unicode font from this link and replace it as DroidSansFallback.ttf,
http://elfadwaps.com/arial-unicode-...ts-most-of-the-asian-and-indic-languages.html
I think it should support punjabi font also. If it does not work replace original file.

Terminal
Decent hardware (at least 4GB RAM and dual-core CPU)
Required packages

-Setup the device tree
Here is the problem.Currently the device tree will just not compile.Devs could help.Isn't really hard,need to modify the CM10 device tree.

-Setup the kernel source
Download the kernel 3.0 source and extract files and folders in archive to /aokp_jb/android/system/kernel/htc/pico (create folders manually)

Download links in 2nd post
Now you are ready to build.
Copy-paste this in terminal

replace x with your cpu cores number +1-2
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now go out with friends.If you succesfully got a build,locate the build in /aokp_jb/android/system/out
I make this guide for people who want to compile AOKP JB .I don't have this device anymore but I could help for device tree.

Linux, ubuntu,debian and backtrack 5 on android [mytouch 4g]

SO, I WAS READING ( as i always do) AND CAME ACROSS A GROUP OF DEVELOPERS WHO HAVE MANAGED TO GET UBUNTU,LINUX,BACKTRACK 5 AND OTHER OS's TO RUN ON ANDROID.
THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT U DONT HAVE TO FLASH IT AS A ROM OR ANYTHING. AND IT ALSO DOESNT MESS UP YOUR ANDROID SYSTEM. ITS WORKS LIKE A VIRTUAL MACHINE, TO BREAK IT DOWN IT RUNS ON TOP OF YOUR ANDROID OS JUST LIKE ANY APPLICATION WOULD DO. BUT IT NEEDS A KERNEL THAT SUPPORTS LOOP DEVICES.(Dont really know what that is)
I PERNSONALLY TRIED IT ON THE MYTOUCH 4G AND IT WORKS VERY WELL, ONLY FOR A LITTLE BIT OF SLOWNESS (that happens when u have lots of apps running in the background.) SO I SUGGEST YOU RUN IT AFTER A REBOOT.
I TESTED IT ON THESE ROMS AND KERNELS
ROM KERNEL
***DARK UNICORN RESURECTED**** ****COMB_KERNEL_WOB****** (dont know about the rest of thier kernels).
***PACman_GLACIER v22.0.1********* ************3.0.66_CODERZS_KERNEL_2************
*****CYANOGENMOD 7.2*************** ************ COMB_KERNEL_WOB*****
THERE MIGHT BE OTHER ROMS AND KERNELS THAT MIGHT WORK. SO YOU HAVE TO TEST THEM AND FIND OUT.
NOW HERE IS A LINK TO THE WEBSITE
[[ http://linuxonandroid.org/ ]]
FOR IT TO WORK YOU WOULD HAVE TO DOWNLOAD THE LUNCH APP (Its an APK file). THEN YOU DOWNLOAD THE IMAGE OF YOUR CHOICE BEING IT UBUNTU, LINUX,DEBIAN,BACKTRACK5 ETC....
FOR DOWNLOADS, YOU CAN VISIT THESE SITES:
FOR THE APK OR THE LUNCH APP VISIT
HERE: [[ http://sourceforge.net/projects/lin...omplete_Linux_Installer_08012013.apk/download ]]
OR

FOR THE IMAGES YOU CAN VISIT
HERE: [[ http://linuxonandroid.org/downloads/ ]]
OR FOR SPECIFIC IMAGES, YOU CAN VIST THESE SITES
NOTE: SOME OF THE OS's HAVE CORE,SMALL AND FULL IMAGES. THE CORE IMAGES, WELL CONTAIN THE CORE FILES WITH JUST A COUPLE OF APPS INSTALLED.(I wont post the link for the core images but if you want it visit the link posted above). THE SMALL IMAGE HAS LIMITED SOFTWARES PRE-INSTALLED WHILES THE FULL HAS MANY OR A WIDE RANGE OF SOFTWARES PRE-INSTALLED.

THATS ABOUT IT FOR THE IMAGES FOR NOW.
NOTE: FOR THIS TO WORK ROOT IS NEED AND A FULL INSTALLATION OF BUSYBOX AND TERMINAL EMULATOR AND ANDROID VNC VIEWER. AND ALSO, I TAKE NO CREDIT FOR THIS, I AM JUST HELPING OUT SO THAT PEOPLE CAN KNOW ABOUT IT.
HELP IS GIVEN IN THE APK. SO HOW HARD CAN IT BE
SO I THINK THATS ALL FOR NOW GUYS.
IF I HAVE HELP YOU, PLEASE USE THE THANKS BUTTON.

Sure. Go ahead and try. its nice. And after messing around with it you would like it.
And most of its commands work on android in the terminal emulator.

Haha I actually like it. But how do I find wifi in Ubuntu small image.

You have to open the terminal in Ubuntu. Then u type
"sudo -s" (it would ask for your password, enter it.)
Then type
"iwlist scan"
It would give you a whole number of interfaces. But WiFi should be on "p2p0".
Or u can type
"sudo -s"
"iwlist p2p0 scanning"

Its because your current kernel doesn't support loop device. You have to flash a new kernel. If you are using a mytouch 4g, and you using a non sense ROM, you can flash coderz 3.66 kernel or try other kernels.

I guess its the scripts that comes with the app,these same scripts are the ones which launches the backtrack distro. I personally faced some problems with the new scripts but i have the old version which works fine on my device. I would try uploading it or you could search for an old version of the apk.

Do you have busybox installed??

You need the key which the obb is packed with in order to repack it.
