Okay, that is not ALL of the new additions, only a chunk of them! I believe last count there are around 60 new tools in the Backtrack 5r3 release.

So lets get started.....

You will need:

- A rooted phone/tablet running Android 2.2+
- A basic understanding of Linux environments
- BusyBox
- Proper ADB/Fastboot drivers on a nearby computer (
- A USB cable for your device
- The modified BackTrack 5 files (downoad here >>
 http://www.megaupload.com/?d=M6YCKZLR)

Step 1 - Preparation
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

1} Download the modified BackTrack files to a computer from the above link.
2) Extract the files to a memorable place on your computer.
3) Launch the Settings app on your device and enable Applications -> Development -> USB debugging.
4) Remove any external storage attached to your device.

Step 2 - Setting up Files 
-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

We are going to copy/paste the bt5 folder to /sdcard on your device. Attempt method 1 first. If this does not work, perform method 2.

Method 1:
1) Browse to the bt5 folder you extracted.
2) Copy the bt5 folder(not the contents) and then browse to your connected device.
3) Navigate into internal storage. You should see a folder called ".android_secure". If you dont see this, open the "sdcard" folder. If you cant see that, you probably dont have a rooted device with proper ADB drivers.
4) Paste the bt5 folder here.


Method 2:
1) Open a command prompt and navigate to your ADB location.
2) Run the following command:
adb push C:\path\to\bt5 \sdcard\bt5

Step 3 - Running BackTrack
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

1) Open a terminal application (I recommend Terminal Emulator)
2) Login as root by typing:
su
3) Double check that busybox is working by running:
busybox ls
This should list a bunch of files and folders.
4) run:
cd /sdcard/bt5
and:
sh bt
5) Enter 'n' when it asks for a VNC session. Dont worry you can still use your GUI but starting it that way can be buggy.

Congratulations, you have done it! If you dont mind working without a graphical interface, you are finished. If you want a GUI continue...

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= (Optional) Step 4 - Setting up the GUI
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
 
1) Make sure that your terminal will run in the backround.
2) Download a VNC application from the Android Market. I would suggest "androidVNC'.
3) After that you have to run 'sh bt' then enter:
startvnc
4) Close your terminal and open your VNC app. Then fill in the form with:
Nickname - (blank)
Password - root
Address - 127.0.0.1
Port - 5901
Username - (blank)
Color Format - Select whichever is best for your device. I use the highest (24bit) but it can slow it down a bit.

Note :
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

- Backtrack can only connect to the internet via WiFi
- The default VNC/SSH password is 'root'
- Default screen resolution is set to 800x480
