Hi All,
Has anyone tried to connect Touchscreen LCD monitor with Xperial ZU ? I mean, connect the monitor with HDMI or Miracast and for Touch, connect USB cable from Monitor to ZU. I have Dell 21.5" touch monitor S2240T which works perfectly with Windows 8.1 (with touch using USB), and would like to make it work with Xperia ZU as well.
I followed the steps mentioned in the below link, but touch is still not working:
http://freaktab.com/forum/tv-player...reen?1802-Touchscreen=&highlight=MK802IIIS/BT
As mentioned in original link, steps are simple to follow:
So here is a Step-by-Step guide:
0. connect an usb-hub and a keyboard/mouse to you MK808
1. Install BusyBox Free -> Market -> run the installer
2. Install Terminal Emulator -> Market
3. run Terminal Emulator -> write down "lsusb" -> remember the output
4. Connect your monitor to the USB of the MK808
5. run Terminal Emulator -> write down "lsusb" -> remember the output
6. by comparing the two outputs of "lsusb" you should see wich new device was plugged-in
7. The last two numbers seperated by the ":" are the PID and VID of the touch interface wich you will need - for me they are 0408 and 3000
8. download the attached file and rename it: replace the with the numbers you found by the method above & rename the file-ending to *.idc
9. copy the file to you device (e.g. by using an sd card, dropbox, wireless adb,...)
10. open terminal emulator again and write down "su" -> wait for the root confirmation window and accept it
11. write down "cp /sdcard/Vendor_0408_Product_3000.idc /system/idc/Vendor_0408_Product_3000.idc" (replace the path "/sdcard" with the path you copied the file to)
12. reboot the device
13. have fun
In fact, in my ZU, idc folder is under /system/user and hence followed the below steps in terminal emulator:
su
chown 0,0 /system/usr/idc/Vendor_0408_Product_3001.idc
chmod 06755 /system/usr/idc/Vendor_0408_Product_3001.idc
reboot
But, it is not working in ZU. I tried the same steps in my very old chinese tablet (almost 3-year old), and touch is working (not perfect though).
In fact, you can look into one of the video in youtube of Touch monitor working with android:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Qsv_Wu9IpA
I'll try again and try to make it working. But, if some can try and it works, please share it.
Thanks
By now, I tried this on Sony's latest stock ROM 5.0.2, CM12.1 based ROM from crDroid & Resurrection Remix and still no success. I think this must be a small code addition in kernel for making HID multi touch work, as explained in below link:
http://www.chalk-elec.com/?p=2028
Here is one more link where user has added code in Kernel for his Dell S2240T touch Monitor:

If you want to install Debian, just follow this step:
1. Download this : megaupload.com/?d=EV1SOKWJ
In the debian folder you should change the installer.sh and bootdeb files by this one
Download them:
installer.sh : mediafire.com/file/6j99zi0g1lu4oxq/ashu11x_installer.rar
Bootdeb : mediafire.com/file/osshm94mo1qhd65/ashu11x_bootdeb.rar
2. After that, copy the debian folder unzipped to the root of your sd-card
3. Than open Terminal and type:
Code:
su
cd /sdcard/debian
sh installer.sh
bootdeb
cd /scripts/onetime.sh
sh onetime.sh
That's it!

How to Install Ubuntu on Android!
Posted on February 1, 2011 by admin
For those of you who want to install Ubuntu on your Android smartphone or tablet device, here’s our universal guide on how to do it. (This guide is based off my original guide at NexusOneHacks.net)
*Note – This guide should work on most “rooted” Android smartphones/tablets with no further modification.
We will be running Ubuntu “chrooted” under Android OS, which just means that we will be running a “virtual” Ubuntu OS that runs on top of the Android OS. Your Android OS will work fully (e.g. your phone will keep working normally) while the Ubuntu runs on top of it.
First of all, you should have your Android device “rooted” because you need root access to run Ubuntu off your Android.
Second, your Android OS must support loop devices. Most newer Android smartphones/tablets come with this support so we can mount our Ubuntu image as a loop device. If not, you will either have to build your own kernel with support for loop devices or you can try an aftermarket ROM for your phone as most aftermarket ROMs come with support for it.
For example, G2 Phone and Nexus One both come with loop device support so there’s no need for us to compile a new kernel for it but for others, you may have to.
How do you know this? Just try installing Ubuntu and if it doesn’t boot, your Android device needs a kernel with loop device support. Otherwise you are fine.
How to Install Ubuntu on Android! (Windows)
First, download the following Ubuntu.zip file (from a preferred mirror), unzip and copy over the whole ubuntu directory to the SD card of your Android smartphone/tablet device:
Download ubuntu.zip http://downloadandroidroms.com/files/get/Nhi9EJWSw7/ubuntu.zip
(Turn USB storage ON then copy over the Ubuntu folder to the root directory of your SD card.)
(What it looks like after copied over to the SD Card)
1) Again, make sure you have your Android smartphone/tablet “rooted”!
2) You must have Android SDK installed or have access to adb.exe.
3) Make sure your Android phone/tablet is in debugging mode. Go to Settings->Applications->Development and make sure USB Debugging is checked ON.
4) Connect your Android device to your computer via USB cable and set the USB mode to “Just Charge”.
5) Your Android device should be recognized as “ADB Device” under Device Manager. If not, install appropriate drivers.
For all HTC Android smartphones/tablets (such as G2 Phone, Nexus One), you can download Windows drivers here:
HTC Windows 64-bit driver download – Click Here to Download Driver
HTC Windows 32-bit driver download – Click Here to Download Driver
6) Open up a command prompt by typing “cmd” under Start->Search programs and files.
7) Browse to your SDK directory where you installed the Android SDK:
8) Then go into platform-tools directory:
9) Type “adb devices” to double-check your Android device is recognized.
In this example, I used an HTC G2 Phone, which shows up at “HT09SR204261″. This is fine. However, if you get an empty device, that means you didn’t install the drivers for your phone/tablet correctly. (Go back to #5)
10) Type “adb shell” to enter the Android shell.
Then type “su” to enter super user mode, then type “cd /sdcard” and “cd ubuntu” to enter the ubuntu directory in your SD card of your Android device.
11) Next, type “sh ubuntu.sh” to run the script which will basically get your Ubuntu image ready to run on your Android smartphone/tablet.
If you get error messages, don’t worry and keep going.
12) Type “bootubuntu” to enter Ubuntu. (Next time you enter Ubuntu, you just need to type “bootubuntu” from your /sdcard/ubuntu directory, no need to run ubuntu.sh again.
If you got “[email protected]” at this point, congratulations! This means your Android OS comes with loop device support and Ubuntu is now running “chrooted” on top of your Android OS!!!
However, if you failed at this point, your Android OS probably doesn’t support loop devices, try installing another ROM or compiling your own kernel with loop device support.
How to Install Programs on your Ubuntu!
Once you’ve got Ubuntu running on your Android device, it’s time to install some Ubuntu packages(or programs).
Type “apt-get update” to update, this is the first thing you will need to do before installing any new programs.
How to Install OpenSSH-server on your Android Ubuntu!
Type “apt-get install openssh-server” to install OpenSSH-server. What is OpenSSH-server? If you want to connect to your Android Ubuntu via an IP address (and SSH into it), you will want to do this.
How to Install TightVNCServer on your Android Ubuntu!
If you want to access the GUI of your Android Ubuntu, you can install TightVNCServer, which allows you to access the Android Ubuntu via Android VNC app on your Android smartphone/tablet or even access it remotely from your desktop computer.
Type “apt-get install tightvncserver” to install.
How to Fix Language Issues
Above is after I connected to my Android Ubuntu via SSH2. Well, for some reason my default language switched to German. To fix that, just type “export LANG=en_US.UTF-8″:
How to Install LXDE!(optional)
Next, we will install LXDE (Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment). Although we can use Ubuntu’s default GNOME (and trust me I love that), LXDE takes up less memory so our GUI access will be faster.
If you like GNOME, you can skip this step though.
Type “apt-get install lxde”
Next, let’s setup xstartup file so that when TightVNCServer is started, the LXDE runs instead of GNOME:
Type “cat > /root/.vnc/xstartup”
Then type:
cat > /root/.vnc/xstartup
#!/bin/sh
xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
icewm &
lxsession
Then hit Ctrl+D twice and enter to save the file.
How to Start TightVNCServer!
Next, let’s start the TightVNCServer and connect to it from our Android phone and my Windows 7 desktop:
Type “export USER=root” and “vncserver -geometry 1024×800″.
Here, you can change the resolution settings 1024×800 to the resolution of your liking.
Now your TightVNCServer is ready to accept any incoming connections from your phone or computer. Just point to the correct IP address and use port number 5901 to connect.
On your Android smartphone, just download the free app “Android-VNC-Viewer” and set the IP address to “127.0.0.1″ and port number 5901 to connect.
And you should be able to get into your Ubuntu like this:
You can also use desktop software like TightVNC Viewer and connect to your phone.
Do “ifconfig” to find out what your IP address is in your Android Ubuntu.
In this example, mine was connected to “192.168.1.131″.
Then connect to “192.168.1.131:5901″ on your TightVNC Viewer:
Here’s LXDE running on my desktop off my G2 Phone’s Ubuntu:
Troubleshooting
Ubuntu not running?
Try typing “cp” under Android shell and if you get an error message, it means you need to install Busybox. Install Busybox and try again.
Final Thoughts
As said in the video, there will be a lot of improvements in the speed of Android devices in the near future. This year, there will be a slew of dual-core 1Ghz processor-equipped Android devices being introduced. Which just means our Android Ubuntu will run faster and faster.
Hello could anyone please help me with rooting my zoostorm sl8 mini running ICS. I just don't know which rooting program to use and with one will work. I have search the web now for days and cant find anything.
Please Help!
Thanks:good:
Use the Qemu exploit
This can device can be rooted using DoomLords Xperia script. I have ported the script to linux as well for Ubuntu users,
The original script is here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1601038
I haven't tested the Windows script, but I assume it will work as I haven't changed anything, the Linux script has been fully tested and I have successfully rooted the sl8 mini using it.
For Windows see below:
1) Download the attached zip file and Super1Click zip file ( http://download.cnet.com/SuperOneClick/3000-2094_4-75447027.html ).
2) Unzip the zip files into a new folders (you can use 7-zip for this : http://www.7-zip.org/)
3) Power on the Zoostorm Sl8 Mini and boot it normally.
4) Go into settings, developer options and tick USB debugging
5) Go to settings, security and tick Allow installtion of non-Market Apps
6) Connect the table to the PC with a USB cable.
7) When the new Hardware Found Wizard find the Android device and can't find a driver, select install from speficic location and browse to drivers folder under the folder you just unzipped the Super1click file to.
8) The driver should install from here and will show as an Acer Android device.
9) If Windows complains about the driver not being signed tell it to continue anyway.
10) Reboot the Windows PC if requested by the Hardware installation Wizard.
11) Discconect and replug the USB cable.
12) Open a windows command prompt
13) Navigate to the folder where the unzipped rootsl8mini.zip files are.
14) type runme.bat
15) Read the blurb on the screen and press any key to root your tablet.
16) The Sl8 mini will reboot several times, after it has reboot for the last time your sl8 mini will now be rooted.
For Linux (Ubuntu Precise Pangolin)
1) Install Android SDK, make sure the folder where adb is located is in your shell path variable. See link for Ubuntu instructions (http://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/07...-androidsdk-in-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin/)
2) Download the attached rootsl8mini.zip file and unzip it into a folder.
3) Go into the folder where you unzipped the file and make the runme.bat.sh file executable. (Myhost:$ chmod 777 runme.bat.sh)
4) Power on the Zoostorm Sl8 Mini and boot it normally.
5) Go into settings, developer options and tick USB debugging
6) Go to settings, security and tick Allow installtion of non-Market Apps
7) Connect the tablet to the PC with the USB cable.
8) Execute the runme.bat.sh script (Myhost:$ ./runme.bat.sh)
9) Read the blurb on the screen and press any key to root your tablet.
10) The Sl8 mini will reboot several times, after it has reboot for the last time your sl8 mini will now be rooted.
Enjoy
Thank you, do I go to unzipped file using command prompt?
Thanks
I have tried to root the tablet and it wont install the drivers, it keeps saying that the file is corrupted or missing.
I'am running windows 8 64.
any suggestion's why it is doing this?
Many thanks :good:
I`m a noob to the Zoostorm. Are there any JB / CM10 ports for it?
Are they known as another name elsewhere in this forum?
Can anyone shed any light on this? Fantastic write-up by mikel by the way. Will test as soon as the mother-in-law gets hers for xmas from us!
Superb MIKEL543 i have done it, thank you so much, it took me a bit to figure it out but i managed to do it YAY..lol.
Now the problem is i cant watch and films from google play or flixster as it say that it cant because my Tablet is rooted .
i have tried everything and cant get it to work! :good:
easy way to root : http://zoostormsl8.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/root-zoostorm-sl8-mini-3310-9506.html
download and update the zip
Bought this tablet as a gift for my father and assumed that connecting it to a usb keyboard would be straightforward (yeap android noob ) . My question is , is that even possible? Is there a custom rom that can be installed, I presume after rooting the device that enables usb host mode?
Hello,
I'm trying to have a fully functional version of android (dual boot) on my asus TX300CA.
This is what i have do :
Windows 8.1 is still on first HD (SSD as GBT).
I have convert the 2nd HD from GBT to MBR, and installed an android x86 with grub.
To boot on android, i just have to change boot priority in BIOS, it launch GRUB, and android start.
I know this is not the most proper way, but it is the easiest for me. (i'm not familiar with linux)
my problem :
If i install "android_x86-4.3-BWiFi-20131024.iso", everything work fine, but i don't have the gapps installed. I can connect via adb through Wifi from another computer, and doing the following command "adb -s 192.168.1.82:5555 push gapps ./system"
But the result is something like "failed to copy gapps/META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script ... folder or file don't exist blablabla.. "
This error make me think i cannot write on the system folder of the ASUS TX300CA ... because it found /META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script and try to copy it, the error come after.
So, first question is, Is there another way for adding the gapps to my x86 android 4.3 ?
And, to be sure, where should i have to put my gapps folder on the remote PC that run adb ?
and, another of my try was to install "android_x86-4.2.2-engBWiFi-20130620.iso", in this case, everything work fine, with gapps, except the Wifi ... very poor signal and it don't want to connect correctly ... seem to be a know issue with kernel 3.8.
So ... is there a way to fix that ?
For sure, the ideal way will be to find an iso with gapps already installed, and a working Wifi ... but it look like something not possible !
Thanks very much for any idea, or hepl
this is the error :
C:\Android\sdk\platform-tools>adb connect 192.168.1.82
connected to 192.168.1.82:5555
C:\Android\sdk\platform-tools>adb devices

google/android/updater-script
failed to copy 'gapps/META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script' to './system/M
ETA-INF/com/google/android/updater-script': No such file or directory
Nobody can help ?
Thanks
I have been looking how to do this for a day now with no luck. All the other applications seem to be for early Android wear versions less than 2.0 or Android 5.1.1 or less.
Option 1 (Faster)
1: Install ADB on your computer. https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/
2: Enable Developer Options on your wear watch. https://forum.xda-developers.com/android-wear/development/guide-how-to-connect-adb-wifi-t3368602
3: Make sure bluetooth is off, wifi on and connected to same network as laptop.
4: Turn on debug over wifi option in developer options and wait for it to show your IP.
5: On windows, make sure platform tools are on the main drive. Ex (C
6: Copy your APK files into the same folder.
7: Inside the folder, press shift and right click. Then press "open with CMD here or powershell"
8:Type .\adb connect 192.168.0.5:5555 (use your own IP, not the ex)
9: Once connected type .\adb install facebook.apk (type in your own APK name, not the ex)
10: Wait for success, and app should be on watch
FYI some computers do not need the .\adb, just type adb
Option 2 (Slower)
* Prerequisites:
1: Computer
2: Cord to connect your phone.

The APK must be loaded into the main folder, not the app folder.
Currently installed Facebook Lite, tested and works.
Opera Mini opens but force closes after a few seconds.
You may need to open the start.bat twice if it doesnt load the localhost (watch) the first time.
Just a heads up the installation transfers APKS at 51 KB/s, slow! Takes about 2 minutes for a 5mb apk.
Can this be done without the need for an Android Phone? I use an odd couple (iPhone 7 Plus with a Ticwatch E). I have access to Android via a tablet only...

I came across this error when following the first option. Any advice?
error: more than one device/emulator

Another method
Hey first of all I want to say thanks for your tutorial.
I found another method for sideloading your apps to your Wear OS watch.
It's my preferred method because you need no PC.
There is this apps called Apps2Fire it's made for sideloading apps to an Amazon fire TV, but if you enter the IP address of your watch and enable ADB over Wi-Fi you can sideload all apps installed on your phone or any .apk stored at your phone directly to your watch.
For me, this is the easiest way for sideloading, and it would be cool if you can add it to your tutorial.
Tutorial:
1. Install Apps2Fire on your Phone
2. Open the app and go to Setup,
3. Enter the IP of your watch/ or tap on network and let it search for your watch
4. Tap in the upper right corner on the Upload Symbol and chose your .apk and tap on it and then on install.
5. Enjoy
How can I extract an application installed on the watch?

Follow the steps listed in the Start.bat, do not run as Admin.
The APK must be loaded into the main folder, not the app folder.
Currently installed Facebook Lite, tested and works.
Opera Mini opens but force closes after a few seconds.

Looks like you're trying to load an app with the wrong CPU architecture! Try to download a different arch cpu type of that app.
My Fossil Carlyle doesn't showing Wifi debugging in the dev. options. Any way to get sideload without cable working?

Hey first of all I want to say thanks for your tutorial.
I found another method for sideloading your apps to your Wear OS watch.
It's my preferred method because you need no PC.
There is this apps called Apps2Fire it's made for sideloading apps to an Amazon fire TV, but if you enter the IP address of your watch and enable ADB over Wi-Fi you can sideload all apps installed on your phone or any .apk stored at your phone directly to your watch.
For me, this is the easiest way for sideloading, and it would be cool if you can add it to your tutorial.
Tutorial:
1. Install Apps2Fire on your Phone
2. Open the app and go to Setup,
3. Enter the IP of your watch/ or tap on network and let it search for your watch
4. Tap in the upper right corner on the Upload Symbol and chose your .apk and tap on it and then on install.
5. Enjoy

I've followed everything but when i do /adb devices it doesn't show anything and when i do /adb connect with the wifi ip address... it says unable to connect to the ip address i wrote
Thanks heaps. The first method worked for me on TicWatch Pro 3 Woohooo...

no one has explained it properly on XDA it kind of sucks for newbies tbh
Step1: go to settings - system - about - tap build # 7 times
Step2: go to settings - developer settings - adb debug -adb wifi debug on
step3: download apk on computer
step4: go to the folder with the APK in it "Shift + right click" open powershell
step5: go to the wifi on your watch click on it - get the ip address (should be 192.168.x.xx)
Step6: powershell type: "adb connect 192.168.x.xx:5555" (your watch ip address + the port 5555)
step7: powershell type: "adb -e install appname.apk" (type in the app name where i wrote the app name)
Example:
C:\Users\Bob\Downloads> adb -e install Spotify.apk
Has anyone been able to get a gcam port working on their WearOS device?
Hello,
This is my first time posting here, I did read the rules and looked for the info before posting but had no luck.
I recently installed two ShenZhen Coresmore Technology Co.LTD Coresmore Car Entertainment tablets (website: h t t p : / / w w w . coresmore . c o m /?page_id=838. I would like to root them so I can use the airdroid/airmirror app to control them from my phone, however all my rooting efforts have been unsuccessful.
I tried kingoroot app (and PC version), and framaroot but neither worked.
I also tried connecting directly to my PC, but the device is not detected. I contacted the manufacture and they told me that the usb port is host only. ( I could not find an device drivers on the manufactures website either).
There is an all in one connector coming out of the back of the tablet, but I could not find any adapters for it that would allow me to connect it to my computer.
The tablet also has a TF card slot, but I do not know if there is a root option that can take advantage of that.
Here is some more info about the tablet
android version 6.0
CPU: Quad-CoreCortex-A53 1.6Ghz
Ram: 2.0 GB
Flash Memory
8.00 GB
Kernel version
3.10.86

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi,
first of all excuse me for my english. Learn english in school is centuries gone. I have the same problem with monitors and Android 8.1. I try to describe my way till yet:
1. Start monitor and do a factory reset in android settings
2. Connect to your wifi-network. Must be in the same network as your computer.
3. Open Google Play Store on the monitor and look for a app called "ssh helper" from Paul Lutus
4. Install and start the app. Notice ip-adress and port.
5. Install "Putty" on your computer
6. Open an SSH-session and connect to the monitor. In my case the credentials "admin/admin" or "root/admin" worked.
7. Connect an USB-Keyboard to the monitor.
8. In the "Putty"-shell type reboot bootmanager and press enter. The monitor should reboot and showing the bootmanager menu
9. Look for an option "show recovery logs" ore something similar
10. In the log you should find a line with content "adb connect" and a port
11. Download Android debug bridge on your computer and unzip in a folder. Use Google search to find it.
12. In the directory type "adb connect [ip-adress of monitor]:[port shown in log above]
13. Now you can use all Android ADB commands. If you use "adb shell" you will get a session via wifi. If you type "su" without any other letters, the commandline will switch from "$" to "#".
14. When you try "whoami" in the commandline, the session should answer with root.
15. Now you can remount folders or root folder with read/write permissions, change Ownership of files or folders, download, edit and upload files, e.g. init.rc. Try a Google search for all ADB-commands.
But be carefully...operations at a opened heart are dangerous.
