WLAN

TrueCrypt

I have to call 'mount -o loop ...' on android shell before I can mount truecrypt on debian.

CHROOT break

How can I use the chroot break to implement cross-system applications or bluetooth-, audio- or other system functionalities?
There was the missing env-variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the code, but now everything works, including am and pm.

X Server

Using VNC is easy and boring, but I want it hard, I want it native. The main issue of VNC is, we need Android to see anything. That is not, what I want.
I have found a nice explanation how to start the Xserver:

Explanation: https://code.google.com/p/linux-on-android/wiki/BasicSteps
I must path the kernel, that is bad.
Here is the message for startx: (**) FBDEV(0): Built-in mode "current": 0.0 MHz, 0.0 kHz, 0.0 Hz

Webcam (v4l2)

The Android-Kernel uses the video4linux2 driver to control the webcam. The virtual path is /sys/devices/video4linux/video.... It's not clear for me if the driver needs to be activated before. Additionally UVC could be used if enabled in kernel. There are achievements in using external webcams in Android. Here are some Links about it (but with Android as basesystem):

Xposed

I have found a maybe nice App: http://repo.xposed.info/. It can manipulate the System (and some Apps). I have not tested it but I will show how it works.

Android influence

Here is an image how the Media System works. Maybe it is possible to communicate with the mediaserver through IPC.
