Windows users:
•Extract the installer image from the downloaded zip file
•Download "Image Writer" application from https://launchpad.net/win32-image-writer/ and extract it to a folder of your chioce.
•Insert your USB drive into your computer.
•Find the drive letter of your USB drive by opening 'My Computer' on the desktop.
•Run Win32DiskImager.exe from Image Writer's directory.
•In Image Writer's window, select the installer.img you extracted from the downloaded zip
•In Image Writer's window, select your thumb drive's letter that you found in 'My Computer'
•Click "Write" and wait until the process is over.
Mac users:
•Extract the installer image from the downloaded zip file
•Open the Terminal (under Utilities)

•Execute `diskutil unmountDisk /dev/diskN'
•Execute `sudo dd if=live.img of=/dev/diskN bs=1m'
•Execute `diskutil eject /dev/diskN' and remove your flash media when the command completes.
Step 4: Prepare device for installation:
•Set the device to boot from the USB thumb drive (device-specific instructions can be found on the devices page.
•Make sure "UEFI Boot Support" is enabled in the BIOS.
Step 5: Install the system.
• Plug in the USB thumb drive with the Android-IA installer image created in step 1
• Power on the device
• From the boot menu, choose "Install Android to hard disk"
• Wait until the installer finishes
• Unplug the USB thumb drive
• Power off the device by holding down on the power button for 10 sec., then power on the device and choose "Boot Android system" (or let the countdown timer expire)
You're done! Enjoy your Android-IA device.

Hello.
I installed the latest Android-IA (android-4.2.2_r1-ia1) on my Acer Iconia W700, and it works perfectly. The only downside (however, huge one) is the lack of libhoudini - without it half of android apps refuse to load on x86 processor. Which, by the way, scores ~70000 in Antutu (!)...
I searched everywhere, but there's just too little information on both libhoudini as well as Android-IA . Please, can anyone help in porting this library to Android-IA? I know it is not open source, but so are gapps, and Android-x86 already uses libhoudini. So there shouldn't be any real difficulties...
WBR, Draco.

Hi there
I'd also be glad to hear more about that...From what I could gather so far, there is no fully working ARM translator / libhoudini solutions for android IA. Hence the only solution would be to switch to android x86...

Change dpi and get bluetooth working with android and windows 8.1 at the same time
Do these changes if you are confident in your skills. I'm student and quite busy so if you ask something it can take some time for me to answer. Damages you might do to your system are your own responsibility. I have tested these instructions with Acer W700 on android-4.2.2_r1-ia3 and can confirm that they worked for me.
First changing dpi from original 213 to 160:
1. Get file manager on android like ES file Explorer
2. R/W rights to whole system on android
3. From root go to /system/etc/machine-props/
4. Open acer-w700.prop with ES Explorer and edit line "ro.sf.lcd_density = 213" and change 213 to 160
5. Reboot android and system should now be 160 dpi
Now about that bluetooth. I find it annoying that you have to pair your bluetooth mouse and keyboard again every time when you switch between android and windows 8.1. So I did research and found a way to fix this problem and here's how to do it. I can confirm that this works with Acer bluetooth/cover keyboard and MS Sculpt touch mouse.
1. Pair your bluetooth devices first with android and the with Windows
2. On Windows download PsExec
3.Then from downloaded file copy PsExec.exe in Windows to directory C:\Windows\System32 or to directory where your System32 folder is.
4. Write in the search cmd and run it as administrator
5. Then use command: psexec -s -i regedit.exe
6. Now go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\BTHPORT\Parameters\Keys
7. From \Keys you can find your paired bluetooth devices. First there is the devices bluetooh mac address and 32 numbers long linkkey. Now write those linkeys and mac addresses up or copy them.
8. Now everything is set on Windows side. Next boot to android.
9. On android you need again for example ES file Explorer and R/W rights
10. With file Explorer fro root go to /data/misc/bluedroid/
11. Open file called BT_config.xml
12. From text find your devices using mac address
13. When you find you devices mac addres scroll down and you should see line with linkkey and 32 number code.
14. Now take that 32 number code you got from Windows
15 You have to change it little so the linkey works and here how it's done:
for example your Windows linkkey is "12345678qwertyuiasdfghjkpoiuytre" now set it as 8 number clusters like this
"12345678 qwertyui asdfghjk poiuytre"
Now you have to reverse those 8 number clusters
Take the set on far right "poiuytre" and mark it like this "po iu yt re"
Now reverse those pairs like this "re yt iu po"
Now "reytiupo" this is the first line in the new linkkey
Do the same for other three cluster. After it's done this example linkkey looks like this "reytiupojkghdfasuityerqw78563412"
16. When you have your modified Windows linkkey ready you can just replace the old one from the file BT_config.xml
17. Now just reboot android and your keyboard and mouse should work.
I've found that sometimes when switching from Windows to android bluetooth doesn't connect. Just reboot android and your bluetooth devices should connect.
I would have posted this on deveopers site where people visit more often but you need 10 posts and this is my first one so if you can you should link my post there so more people can enjoy these instructions.
Thank you for reading this and don't forget to like it :good:

Anyone know where to find the source code for this?

Danuntu, a custom Ubuntu distro for android sticks!

Hello!
I have created a custom Ubuntu distro called Danuntu. It can be installed on any device (not only sticks but also tablets) that have a recovery kernel and a Ubuntu kernel ported for their CPU. Here are danuntu's main features in a nicely formatted text column:
Easy to install.
Danuntu is extremely easy to install. All you need is a windows or linux system (you can even use a SE208BW or a raspberry pi!), your android stick,an internet connection and ten minutes.
Easy to use.
Danuntu is made to be easy to configure and use.Wireless configuration is simplified by wpa gui, and then you can have fun browsing the internet and playing games!
Lots of flavours.
Lxde, xfce, gnome, unity and kde desktop versions are aviable. Also a base version without desktops is provided. I am working on the enlightenment e19 flavour.
Pure Ubuntu experience.
Only a few additional programs are installed and everything is up to date.
Can be installed everywhere.
Danuntu can be installed not only on rk3066 sticks but also on any other arm(hf) stick, phone or tablet. I am providing danuntu versions without a kernel so that you can install your own.​
To install danuntu simply follow the instructions on my danuntu website: danuntu.magix.net

Installing Windows After Android-x86
There are two different approaches:
Recovering GRUB after re-installing Windows
Please refer to the Reinstalling GRUB2 guide.
Master Boot Record backup and re-replacement
This method does not work for computers with UEFI boot. In consequence, it won't work for pre-installed Windows8 and some pre-installed Windows7.
Back-up the existing MBR, install Windows, replace your backup overwriting the Windows boot code:
Create an NTFS partition for Windows (using fdisk, GParted or whatever tool you are familiar with)
Backup the MBR e.g. dd if=/dev/sda of=/mbr.bin bs=446 count=1
Install Windows
Boot into a LiveCD
Mount your root partition in the LiveCD
Restore the MBR e.g. dd if=/media/sda/mbr.bin of=/dev/sda bs=446 count=1
Restart and Ubuntu will boot
Setup GRUB to boot Windows

[TOOL][OPEN SOURCE][JAVA] Lockscreen Gesture Pattern Cracking Tool

REQUIREMENTS
Oracle Java 8 +
HOW IT WORKS
So I saw this on some shady Russian website and decided to make it more open. I researched more of it on Google and found out it was quite popular.
Your lockscreen gesture pattern is saved as an unsalted hash under the data/system folder in a file "gesture.key".
This is actually an unsalted SHA-1 hash of a sequence of bytes representing your oh so secure pattern! We shall brute force it with ourincluded custom dictionary. So the pattern can easily be surpassed, the only problem is getting to the gesture.key! Use SE or one of metasploits android privilege escalation modules.
For the nerds: http://www.cclgroupltd.com/a-rainbow-table-for-android-pattern-locks/
TL;DR We take the gesture pattern's hash and brute-force it.
USAGE
In your terminal call:
Code:
java GestureCrack gesture.key AndroidGestureSHA1.txt
Reference your paths accordingly

1. Clone the repo or download the compiled binary(Find the links above)
2. Install Oracle Java 8
Java 8 is important cause I used some of the new features while coding the bruteforcer
3. Add Java 8 to your path if on Windows
4. Run it like a normal Java class with the first argument being the location of the key and the second being the loaction of the custom SHA1 dictionary.
Thank you.

I saw Windows under that brackets, that's what got my attention in the first place hahahh
I hope you can integrate the ability to control the screen from the computer. Vysor Chrome extension is great for that, but these guys have ruined it now with their premium feature thingy ...
And Windows' Connect Application in windows 10 doesn't have ability to control the phone.

It already has the option to control the screen from linux but not on windows since I forked it from an abandoned project... I managed to port and I'm using it on Win 8.1 64bit but it's lagging right now with a lot of bugs..
I'll post the testing Win version and source later on and see if anyone could help
