How to get the developer preview image?
Deploying Image to Device
To install the Ubuntu Touch Developer Preview on your device, you will need to execute the command below. Please note, this will wipe the contents of the device so ensure you have made a back-up. To install and get updates,
run the following command: phablet-flash -b The -b performs a full bootstrap on the device.
If the device is already unlocked it will carry on.*If you have already bootstrapped once and want to install a daily just do:
phablet-flash, This will deploy the latest build onto your device. Your device should reboot into the Ubuntu Unity shell.
Note: the files are saved in*Downloads/phablet-flash.
Rolling back to android?
The Ubuntu Touch Preview image is not for everyone and may not suit your current needs (yet). If you wish to roll back to an Android factory image, follow these steps:
- Recall the version that was installed before flashing.
- Download the factory image corresponding to your device's model and version (initial table has links).
- Ensure the device is connected and powered on.
- Extract the downloaded file and cd into the extracted directory.
- run*adb*reboot-bootloaderrun*./flash-all.sh*(use*sudo*if lack of permissions on the workstation don't allow you to talk to the device).
Your device should boot into Android after the process is finished.

What is Root?
★In Simple Word Rooting Means gives Read-Write[RW] permission on System Dictionary.★
Rooting*is the Android*equivalent of jailbreaking, a means of unlocking the operating system so you can install unapproved (by Google) apps, update the OS, replace the firmware, overclock (or underclock) the processor, customize just about anything, and so on.

What is Recovery?
A combination of key presses (or instructions from a*command line) will boot your phone to recovery, where you can find tools to help repair (recover) your installation as well as install*official OS updates.

What is Bootloader?
•Every Android phone has a bootloader that instructs the operating system kernel to boot normally. But you need to understand one thing here that as Android OS is an open source OS and is available on a variety of different hardware, every manufacturer has their own version of bootloader specific for the hardware present in it’s environment.

★Advance Section★
1. Bootloop - Bootloop means your phone doesn't but up right, it's just starting and starting and nothing happens, or it's starting and shutting down and starting again. It just means your phone makes a loop while booting.
2. Brick - Brick means your phone can't boot up and you can only recover it with for example flash the stock rom. But there are different bricks for example soft bricks (for example bootloops) and hard bricks (for example doing and over the air=ota update when bootloader is unlocked). There are some other bricks and examples as well.
There Are Two Types of Bricks
1.Soft Brick - you can still turn your phone on but it doesnt really start (bootloop i think is a kind of soft brick. )
this kind of brick can be fixed through softwares like flashtool.
2. Hard Brick - you can't turn your phone on and it doesnt really start, you don't get any response from it.

SnooperStopper - Android device ecryption password manager and failed unlock monitor

SnooperStopper
Android device ecryption password manager and failed unlock attempts monitor
SnooperStopper allows you to have different device encryption password than
screen unlock pattern/PIN/password. You can have strong device encryption
password (which you only need to enter once after booting your device) but
simple pattern/PIN/password for unlocking your screen.
If attacker tries to guess your simple pattern/PIN/password, he has only
few tries (default is 3) after which the device is rebooted and he needs
to enter your strong device encryption password again.
Where to get it:
Google Play
Eutopia.cz F-Droid Repository
Project on GitHub
Why is it needed:
Android always sets device encryption password same as screen unlock pattern/PIN/password.
This is very unfortunate, because you should have encryption password as strong
as possible, but nobody wants to enter long password all the time just to unlock screen.
There is Android issue #29468
requesting different passwords for encryption and screen lock, but it seems to be
ignored by Google (it is there from 2012 and recently marked Obsolete by Google).
How to use it:
After installation, start SnooperStopper and grant it superuser permissions. Then
enable device admin in app, which allows SnooperStopper to monitor failed screen
unlock attempts and reboot device if maximum number is exceeded.
Whenever you change your screen unlock pattern/PIN/password, Android also changes
your device encryption password, so you have to set your strong encryption
password again. SnooperStopper automatically opens window where you can change it
right after you change your screen unlock pattern/PIN/password, so you should never
forget about it.
Requirements:
Android >= 4.0.3
enabled device encryption (Settings => Security => Encrypt phone )
root (Android doesn't allow apps to change device encryption password or reboot your device without root access)
Credits:
Whole device encryption password changing code is taken from Nikolay Elenkov's
Cryptfs Password Manager.

Hello,
Thanks for your great tool, this really fills the gap between a safe encrypted and a everyday easy to use device.
Unfortunately I can't change the encryption password on my maguro galaxy nexus device.
When I try to change my encryption password I get the message cannot get super access
For a short time the root access symbol lights up and disappears.
Snooper Stopper is listed in the device admin list. My nexus (which runs on slim rom lollipop ) asked me whether I would like to give root access to snooper stopper and I agreed.
I'd really like to help to fix this bug so I can use your tool.
Many greetings
Michael
P.S. Already opened a issue at github before I found this thread on xda

Like I said on GitHub (writing it also here for reference):
It is problem with SELinux policy. if you have Android >= 5.0, you also need sepolicy-inject utility (you can find it here: setools-android with sepolicy-inject) or supolicy (part of SuperSU - but SuperSU is not opensource, so I highly discourage it).

New version 1.3 is compatible with Android 6 and CyanogenMod 13. Also starting from version 1.1 sepolicy-inject tool is included into SnooperStopper, so you don't need to install any external utility.

Boot only with android application without OS GUI for use in a production environment

I have this requirement which i need to boot phone only with my android app, full screen. No OS GUI or navigation bar or anything.(Sorry if i'm using wrong terminologies here). I don't need others to be accessible to anything in OS or environment but the app. Is there any way to achieve this.
Note: I'm using android 4.2
