Hmm, at least "important update" explains that it's not vnc.
Got to take a closer look at it.
Open androidVNC from your android programs menu.

All the steps seems to be for a linux distro, on a computer..

No he seems to set up VNC server on he's debian on phone and then connect to it from VNC client on he's Android OS.
Just a trick so he doesn't need any special drivers to use debian GUI on he's mobile phone.
Anyway, to install debian shell you need to have firmware that supports LOOP features. I'm not sure if I want to switch amon_ra.
Could anyone recommend such a firmware for HTC Hero?
Try linux img. You will need loop module
Got shell finally working
First off, thanks to msullivan for providing the BackTrack 5.0 image!
I've made this as easy as possible. Not for novice users.
I chose backtrack as the image (instead of ubuntu) because i LOVE backtrack. I've used it as my main on-the-go linux for a while. Mainly because I hack all the wifi I'm around so i have a constant NET connection
This script requires ADB installed and ROOT!
Required Apps
Busybox - Download and install busybox
Terminal Emulator
Any VNC Client that supports LINUX
Installation
Download the image and attached scripts (BT5_Install.zip)
http://www.ulozto.net/xfHz8JJ/primelinuxbacktrack5-zip
Rename the image to BT5.zip and copy to /sdcard/ - I would copy in the script, but ADB is WAAAY slow.
Unzip BT5_Install.zip into your ADB folder - Or anywhere if you have ADB set with environmental variables
Make sure device connected and responds to adb (adb devices)
run install.bat
This will push the proper scripts, open the image up for use and run necessary scripts
This process does take time. No longer than 10 minutes. Script will notify when complete.
---Linux is now installed!---
Open terminal emulator and type: (do this any time you want to start your linux if you have shut it down or the TFP has restarted)
su
cd /sdcard/bt5
sh bt
Type Y at the prompt
VNC into 127.0.0.1:5901 with password 'root' with any VNC program you like
PROFIT
Change Resolution!!
Open terminal in Linux
Type pico /usr/bin/startvnc
Xhange resolution to 1280x800
Type ctrl x
Yes
restart TFP
Look absolutely AMAZING now
Notes:
If the bt5 folder on /sdcard/ is ever deleted, you will lose your linux and need to re-install!
This has been tested and confirmed by me!
Can you tell I like formatting?? hahaha
Need help with ADB? Click HERE for my guide!
Im using POCKETCLOUD in Windows mode (it connect to linux as well!)
The GUIDE is not finite. Please post anything you feel should be added/corrected to the guide.
Thanks and 5 star would make me feel good inside too!
Yes!!!!I was wondering when we would see this for the TP. I wonder how long it will be till somone asks about monitor mode and packet injection. Let me go ahead and announce it... AIRCRACK WILL NOT WORK!!! Had to do it.. every backtrack thread on this forums is full of kids saying "I can hax0rz wifi?"
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727
lol, i know, i wish.. it would only work if we could dual boot. that way, we could potentially have wifi aircrack support and all that!
Agreed.. but chroot is better than nothing I guess. You may want to try the "orbot" app along with backtrack. Its great for using the tor network while using bt.

anyone tried interfacing with any wifi adapters yet with either the dock or a USB ATP to USB adapter? it'd be pretty awesome to get monitor mode on this thing...
Inevitble question. What happesn when we get ICS? Will we just have to reroot?
What's the difference in BT5 and the HD2 image I downloaded from the HD2 forums? Are they different versions of Ubuntu?
Oh yeah, and THANKS a ton for the install guide!

Ahh, gotcha. I didn't realize this was a different flavor of linux, not a different version of Ubuntu (guess I should have read the thread title). Cool, going to give it a shot.
Thanks for this. I was looking to put some form of Linux on my tp lol. Just have to wait until I get an sd card now.
it doesn't have to be on your sdcard
sdcard means internal memory
there is a removable category for a removabl sdcard.
just transfer the zip to your normal memory root directory

Yea, bt5 is the security and exploitation flavor of Linux, ubuntu is more of the general purpose version

Can someone try out LibreOffice and report back how smoothly it does/doesn't run? Will definitely root if LibreOffice runs well. Thanks!

How does it run on the TFP ? is it responsive etc?
Can it be used as an everyday function? i'm really interested in this, and cant wait to get start messing about with it.
I've got BT5.zip on my sdcard directory, but I keep getting this error when I use the './install.bat' command:

Hi,
I have a 7 inch tablet running ICS 4.0.3.
I am unable to find an app to transfer files between my mac & the android tablet using AFP protocol.
Can someone recommend an app for this purpose?

I ended up using FTP server, but the downside is OSX cannot edit a FTP disk by default (and on El Capitan there is no third party system hack that does the job anyways).
Hi all,
im new to the forum and wanted to say hello to everyone
Im running ubuntu 12.04 at my desktop and also on my HTPC so i decided to test ubuntu touch on my Nexus 4 and my Nexus 10. I never had any kind of smartphone before and never had buy one if there wasnt ubuntu touch :good:
I have two questions about different things and hopefully someone can guide me through the darkness.
1.: with daily build 2013/08/21 my background image switches from the default ubuntu unity like to the one with the auger and im not able to change it back to the default ubuntu 13.10 theme. Hot can i fix this?
2.: As i never worked before with openssh i dont know exactly how to transfer files from desktop to the phone. If i connect to the phone with ssh [email protected]_of_device im connected to it but dont have the knowledge to transfer files like music and/or pictures. How do i have to proceed here?
Thanks a lot for your help.

About that...
The openssh package contains a command called scp made for file transfer. Should work like this:
Code:
scp file-to-send [email protected]_of_device:/path/to/place/file

scp did the trick.
I read the scp man and -r give me the rest of information to copy complete folders to my /home/phablet/Music folder
Work like a charm :good:
I just got a Qin 1s+. I am trying to transfer some audio and PDF files to it. Whenever I connect the USB-C cable to my computer I get a prompt on the phone that says:
USB tethering
USB connected, check to tether
Media device (MTP)
Lets you transfer media files on Windows,
or using Mocor5 File Transfer on Mac
Where do I get `Mocor5 File Transfer`? The OS on the Qin 1s+ is called `Mocor5` right? I can't find any information on a file transfer program for Mac.
Any information would be appreciated! Thank you.

What exactly do you mean by "toned down"? I still haven't figured this out. If I could find an image of the OS that would be a great start, but I still would like to know what Mocor5 File Transfer was? It's a file transfer program, but I've never heard of it.
Thank you!
I don't own a mac so I can't answer thought question.
But mocor 5 is a os built on Android 4 and it's designed specially for spreadtrum devices that have buttons.

Okay, do you know where I can DL *any* type of image for it? I'd like to find that and mess around with it. I searched `Mocor 5` and didn't find a single page.
Here you go! This is the fdl for xiaomi (duoqin) qin 1 s plus but it's very similar so try it.
