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

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

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.

Hello guys ,
i've compiled Kernel with GCC 4.8 "newer version, current is 4.6"
but i dont know if its gonna work .. bcuz 4.7 didn't work for our device.
so i need someone to test it, but u should now if its didnt work u wont be able to go in recovery mode..
only download mode, recently i cant test .. im using my phone, so make sure that u can flash stock if it's not working.
DL :
if u test it, and its worked .. test the main features "WiFi, Data, BT ..etc"
Close , it wont work ..

Thread closed, though next time you post a kernel binary would you also post its source code to comply with both the GNU General Public License v2 and the XDA forum rules - I have removed the download link as we don't allow non-GPL compliant kernels on XDA.
Thanks.
Hi all!
Time has come for Lollipops flavours for our old, but still alive device: Huawei Honor -u8860.
Thanks to @Blefish, we have now a new device tree and kernel 3.4
it tooked a lot of work and time to that talented dev to get us a rebirth of our device, named: LegacyHuawei.
How to install Lollipop rom on u8860: all needed files (recovery, blepart1.1 (lvm script) , gapps and cm12 rom ---> http://sourceforge.net/p/legacyhuawei/wiki/Installation/
Installation instructions located in Wiki. Don't forget to read it as you need to install latest TWRP before installing this ROM.
If you decide to uninstall this ROM (install cm11 or others without LVM support), keep in mind that if you installed LVM setup, you need to uninstall it or your phone will end up in a bootloop. If you have any issues please Provide logcat: http://sourceforge.net/p/legacyhuawei/wiki/Submitting logs/

I strongly advice people to backup their imei
If you are set with cm12, then, you will be good to go with all the others Lollipop flavours ( roms ) i can propose.
All the roms i will provide have device tree source here: https://github.com/Blefish?tab=repositories
and the kernel source i use is here: https://github.com/desteam/android_kernel_huawei_msm7x30
which difference between Blefish kernel and mine? : i updated Blefish kernel which is 3.4.0 to 3.4.106.

I've just tested USB-Host mode on U8860, and it really works!!! Official Huawei specifications says that our chip does not support USB-Host, but IT DOES!!! Wow!!!
Tested mouse and keyboard... Mouse lags a little bit because our device is slow sometimes...
And also flash drives, even NTFS-formatted flash drives work...
The constraint seems to be that USB port can only output 200mA, and charging is impossible in USB host mode, so you should not forget to disable Host mode after using it... The option is in the special HuaweiSettings app...

Hello again - I found you!
When testing blefish's builds of CM12 for our device, I had continous wifi errors, which made the ROM unuseable for me.
So I gave your BlissPop a try. Thankfully, I did!
The wifi issues seem to be gone, I still have problems with sensors in my device, but they don't disturb me that much...
Looking foreward to flash new builds.
Huawei FM Radio on Lollipop?
Is there any chance to get a working FM Radio on U8860 Lollipop?
Hi guys,i have a problem i can not install the rom,because when i put the TWRP 2.8.5.0 and reboot into recovery outside the Sd does not see it more and i can not install the rom,where am i wrong?I have to start from the B919 without memory repartition to install the rom?
Thanks in advance for any answers !!!

Please provide proper LCM Driver, etc.
As i have the same device i'm very interested.

Currently i'm running this Phone at stock kernel with DarkL privat port. It gives me up to 5days battery on moderated use. So the stock dg550 Kernel is fine already, at least on the battery side ofc
However in my opinion there is no reason why somebody would donate a developer this phone. It cost around 135€. People would have more benefits if they just buy a new, cheaper and more powerful phone while dumping this one.
If u like a good Rom, u can still try port cm12.1 from mt6592 plattform. We might just miss steps in ramdisk

Well, all MT6592 are "ALPS". AFAIK
Please provide proper LCM Driver, etc.

I've contacted Doogee on some e-mails so be in touch. They post on FB post about developing roms for their phones. Does anybody know if they truly pick someone from XDA or 4pda?
Could some one please compile TWRP 2.8.7 or 2.8.6 for DG550? I tried but no success only boot loop
They dont share source. U can use stock Kernel and build cm around. Like few guys here.
Please just read the forum

Wonderful, thx.
Well it ain't boot(didnt pass vendor bootloader logo) on our Devices Doogee DG550. More than me already tried
Port from mt6582 to mt6592 works fine on first run
Yeah, it doesn't work at all. It was working on previous updates. They changed /data to 3GB that could be the problem, isn't it? I was working on flashable rom but it didn't boot. Even I use files from backup in TWRP, it must be problem with META-INF files.
Yeah other recoveries may work, but TWRP is best now like CWM few years ago. I can't even port 2.8.1 with that MTK tool on the newest rom from Blackview.
Also do you know about more complex tool for root checker? I have still problem I was using Super Su 2.46 but can't install busybox, so I used KingoUser and it was working but sometimes it stop working and I have to update Su binaries manually. BTW I don't like KingoUser, the Super Su is much better but doesn't work as it should on this rom. On my P4 5.1.1 working just fine.
my data is 8gb// ebr1 ebr2 .
what u mean, that previous version of cm12 kingzone worked on dg550?
The update script itself works fine with philz
For busybox i used "smartinstall" on Dark L Rom with dg550"

Guys this is my first kernel compilation for lenovo K6 power/note devices. I dont know whether it will work perfectly of not cuz my k6 note is now at service center due to battery issue. so if any one try it and give feedback, I'll be very thankful.
it is just kernel image, not the boot.img. created using anykernel2.
BUT AT FIRST i'M THANKFUL TO karthick-mostwanted FOR HIS KERNEL SOURCE ON GITHUB
Download from the link:
Mod Edit: Link removed, no source posted, @ac78912 check your PM
You designed it.
You can try it first.
Sent from my Lenovo K53a48 using XDA Premium HD app
Whats the benefit of the kernel? what did you do to alter/differentiate it from the source? where is your source?
answer the above and ill be able to try it out
this kernel takes the fon in fastboot mode...
Guys this kernel boots in fastboot mode only..
dont know why..
I followed the tutorial
compilation successful. but same error occurs
please help
You'd find quicker help by joining the telegram group for k6, Id love to see an alternative kernel for our device, if I had a Linux distro I'd probably try myself, since I hate the colours of the stock and cm kernels
Is this thing TWRP flashable???
