MC2 Post 1115 A Little Root Here A Little Hack There--It's All Good.




Root The Galaxy Nexus with Superboot



------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------

Usually, I cover This Subject (Hacking), in my LBK  (Linux by Knight blog).  But as Tablets and Smartphone have blurred the lines on what belongs where in Hardware devices.  The Software or Codebase that runs these devices has also Blurred.  Android, is kinda-open source and Apple is kinda-BeOS ala Coco based too! 

So this hacking stuff, which has been approved (not by Apple of Course) ,on Apple's smartphones ( I run a hacked iPod Touch thank you), should extend to Android Devices as well.  

My Opinion...

The Wingman.

The whole process involves a few simple steps really and they include – Downloading the Android ISO, then via using UNetbootin you install it’s image to a USB stick drive or a SD Card. Following on you then have

Cotton Candy: A Dual-Core Android Powerhouse on USB



    FXI USB



From:  http://www.helloandroid.com



This diminutive little guy is more than meets the eye. It weighs 21 grams, which is the same as the bag of the Cotton Candy it is codenamed after. The unassuming USB stick is actually an Android 2.3 Gingerbread powered device that packs a wallop. Here are its specs:

    Dual-core 1.2-GHz Samsung Exynos ARM CPU
    802.11n Wi-Fi
    Bluetooth
    HDMI-out
    microSD card slot

The magic happens when you plug Cotton Candy into a Windows or OSX device. A secure window running a
true Android 2.3 environment will open, which FXI Technologies refers to as "Any Screen Connected Computing":
