Thanks 4 to info with the not installed power kernel!
Than I dont install this kernel only because of bt5 - the risc of instability etc. is to high 4 me. With easy debian I can install most of the hacking tools 2.

@mr_pingu
There is a typo in SuperDumb's how to. (path should be /bt5/)
Use the description in the first post.

But it still won't work. I have another MD5 sum then the ones posted.
I'm redownloading the .img from ifile.it now.

For what it's worth, running BT5 in a chroot is exactly the same level of risk as running Debian in a chroot, no more and no less. The kernel is different, true, but it isn't going to cause instability. Also, to be honest, if stability is paramount to you, you should be using a phone that actually has official updates put out for it once in awhile.

Dont like the idea it sits in /, wont that take up rootfs space?
As Gi0 kind of said, it won't take up any of your rootfs space at all. Mounting an image like you are doing is basically similar to creating a link. While you you can access the data at /mnt/bt5, it is not actually stored there. It's stored wherever you put bt5.img.

One can run "x11vnc -storepasswd" to achieve the same effect as vncpasswd.

made it work all the way except at the vncstart part, it is supposed to be mounted and all and with the vnc server up and running but when i use presence vnc to connect, it always says connection lost... sttrange

after that i used vncstop and at the end said no proccess to kill or something like that, so vncstart necer worked?

what do you guys suggest

cheers

edit: made it work somehow.... but i still havent been able to change the display to 800x470

with VNC running, do an `lsof -i -P -n` and see if it lists the VNC server as having a port open, it should be 5901 by default.

Got it working, but is it just me or is it ABSOLUTELY unusable due to slow speed?
EDIT: Hm the problem is more of that vnc crashed randomly.. like it just stops running and my vnc viewer crashes
