"andorid emulator" trick

Credits go to all those involved in making this possible!

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

[*] This script will:

(1) root ur device using "andorid emulator" trick

(2) install Busybox (1.18.4)

(3) install SU files (ICS specific)

(4) do some checks for free space, tmp directory

(will remove Google Maps if required)

[*] Before u begin:

(1) make sure u have installed adb drivers for ur device

(2) enable "USB DEBUGGING"

from (Menu\Settings\Developer Options\Development)

(3) enable "UNKNOWN SOURCES"

from (Menu\Settings\Security)

(4) [OPTIONAL] increase screen timeout to 10 minutes

(5) connect USB cable to PHONE and then connect to PC

(6) skip "PC Companion Software" prompt on device
