So I stumbled upon a site that offers a linux based rom called openmoko. It makes claims that it can be dual booted and with the linux kernel being open source there should be many available apps out there. here is the site http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Flashing_the_Neo_FreeRunner
let me know if you like it.

It boots already, but waits for somebody with the device to do more
testing
I have that wonderful device and I wish Linux on it. And I'd like to be tester.
I'm system administrator of one of Moscow commercial banks at Russia. And I working with Linux since 1997 (prefferred distributions Slackware/Slamd64).
I have a hw6515 as well and am hereby volunteering my device for Linux testing
I'm an IT consultant in CRM/Enterprise asset management and been using Linux off and on for many years...not really a Linux newbie but need to get my skills refreshed.
hello,
I have a bricked 6515 with the gsm part dead after a failed rom upgrade.
So my 6515 is very open for betatesting...
Do you know where to find tools & files to go to linux ?
What are the limitations at this moment ?
and how to manage the square screen ?
Thanks
Dim
let's start from here
hi there i'm searching to build a group of people to try together to build a linux system for hw6515
i have found a lot of info on how to start.
i will try to install Familiar linux distro and maybe if it work Android!
let me know if you are interested.
for now no beta tester is needed.
i know that it's years after the last post - however - FYI tried the wayback machine to get handhelds.org archive of linux resources for ipaQs - 6515 on the compatibility list, boots linux, but status of gui unknown
AND site reports that familiar does not install on this model.
I'm going to try the kernel and pkgs for the 4700 which is based on the same processor...just for fun.

Where should i start first to learn how to code for android, make roms and compile the android tree?
or just a good place to start?
From what starting point?
Building android to make custom builds involves knowing lots of things; java, c, linux, gcc build system, android platform, etc, etc.
To make apps you just need to know java and the android platform.

Code for Home screen Pull up Menu
I have a similar request but was unsure if I should start a new thread, If this needs to be moved my apologies (I also searched through Q&A forums as well and came up empty ). Where or how could I get the source code for the Home Screen pull up menu? I checked out the Google Source Code but it requires Linux or Mac OS and I run Windows Vista.

i don't think you can compile the source code in windows

Yeah, I'm considering running Linux on my laptop alongside Vista, as I have hit dead-ends on a couple projects simply because you need Linux for different things . All I really need is a place that I could find the source; I had an idea that I proposed to mohsinkhan47 for his Vista theme and he asked me to find the code for the pullup menu. It would be much appreciated if anyone could guide me in the right direction.
i know where you can get the entire source code. grab it from here
Thanks for the link, that was the site that I went too before but says I need either Linux or Mac OS. Still scouring the android sites but coming up with nothing .
Yeah I do not think there is a way to compile the source in windows. I guess like stericson once said "you're going to have to get your hands dirty and use linux" (it was something like that.
Guess I gotta break my cherry sometime, thanks all for the advice.
This will be used to detail how to get LinuxonAndroid running on the GPad and the process of QPair support to bring new and interesting features to the project as a whole.
Step 1 - Install Linux on the tablet
We shall start by using the standard Complete Linux Installer to install and run Linux with the GUI pumped over VNC (Frame buffer method coming soon!), this method works on most devices and is the most universal but as the project develops in the coming weeks a better method for the GPad will be developed.
Anyway on with installing!
Root
First things first you will need to root your tablet, currently my tablet is running Stock V50020d with root.
The below will most likely work on other ROMs as long as you have root it should work!
(A custom ROM may be developed for further features.. watch this space)
Download
Now we have root you will need to download the below:
Complete Linux Installer
Terminal Emulator
VNC View (I recommend PocketCloud)
Finally download A Linux .img file from our source forge site HERE, I recommend and will be using Ubuntu 13.10 Small ext4. Once downloaded extract the .zip file and copy the .img to your devices memory (internal memory or sdcard).

Let me understand, you want to port QPair to linux that will run on the G pad?
Disclaimer: I'm also in the challange but the idea of running linux on the tablet is really interesting.

I guess @zacthespack wants to use linuxonandroid on tab and sync stuff with a third party such as keyboard, etc using QPair.
Another Disclaimer here Good luck to everyone!

Bingo!
With linuxonandroid running on the tablet we could then use QPair to allow the user to have a phone (or another tablet..?) as the mouse/keyboard for Linux
posted first steps in OP to start getting LoA running on the tablet.
Everything is running very well, I shall finish the guide shortly to get LoA running but really the app install guide will work perfectly.
Next step I will be releasing a special Ubuntu 14.10 image which will be the supported image for QPair features and other changes for the GPad.
it say I need a loopable kernel which I didn't find for stock LG rom...

Stock LG kernel does have loop support so you should have no issue here, if you are having another issue getting linux to start let me know, shall be updated the OP in the next few days

Howdy, cool project. Couple of questions. I'm looking for a reason to install Linux on my tablet, but also understand that I can remotely view my home system with vnc. So what would be the benefit?
Is there more control using Linux to Linux?
Does this mean I could open into my home system, make changes to my kernel, compile, and upload to a server from my tablet?? Late night insomnia while in the mountains would be awesome. I would have to tether my tablet to my phone for WiFi, and run through Linux? This sounds pretty awesome.
Tell me the reasons it won't work.
Pretty awesome OP. Thanks!
Cant log in ubuntu
Can somebody tell me why im not able to boot?im running lollipop with red kernel and before i was running kitkat and still the same.Im my g2 there is no problem but on tab doesn work.I download complete linux installer,busybox,terminal and vnc and i never get the @root.i trh also a differend image but nothing.Any help will be appreciate
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
.i will share my personal project with u, an operating system created with fun in mind .
.Note, that MdMxOS is only a customized and bit modified version of manjaro linux.
The link of my personal project: "MdMxOS a manjaro linux based distribution by Miordmiro for You."
MdMxOS
Download MdMxOS for free. Operating system for everyday usage. MdMxOS is an operating system that tries to outperform slow behavior on computers and are useable for everyday tasks.
sourceforge.net
and the link for myartworks
https://www.deviantart.com/miordmiro/gallery
now to MdMxOS:
- ZRAM
- custom branch selection in terminal ---> since version 6.0
"sudo mdmxos-upgrade-stable" -for stable branch and upgrade = default
"sudo mdmxos-upgrade-balanced" -for testing branch and upgrade
"sudo mdmxos-upgrade-unstable" -for unstable branch and upgrade
- custom themes because why not
- access to the chaotic repo
- ability to run on low hardware specs it can be used on requirements like 9.9 GiB storage space and 2.0 GiB ram
- based on manjaro linux and access to their repo
- plymouth boot animation
target people:
- more advanced users or just for peoples who likes to learn more about an arch based linux distribution
- if u want the manjaro stable packages but with the ability in mind that u can change it with mdmxos-upgrade for more newer packages

before i used MdMxOS i used Garuda Linux and made first wallpaper for desktop usage.
Now i created this and thought about it to share it with the worldwide community, its like about the opensource thing .

Very nice! Colors are too vibrant for me, personally, but I love the effort you put into it!

BTW, where is the link to your "open source" code?
I think also somewhere on gitlab, it's easier to fork.
Garuda Linux does not hide it.
For those who want to look at the original.
Garuda Linux, it's fast, it's fine, it's foss.

sry i missunderstood, hiding is the perfect word for that but u can unsquash the iso file and look at ur own, at the moment iam at the beginning and make many changes, i have no plan to share this like garuda linux or manjaro linux does. Btw Garuda Linux is awesome and Manjaro too and Arch Linux too i love them all. i also dont provide a support page or something like that, its on the arch user to handle my creation or misscreation as well. Thank you for reading this.
Arch Linux, the best way.
Hi, guys.
Android Studio newbie here. I'm a loooong time Linux user/ sys admin, but have just downloaded Android Studio. My motivation for doing so, was to give an existing (neglected) open source app a once over, ideally with a Linter, some code quality checking and maybe refactoring. Essentially, bringing it up to current Android standards. I've installed AS on my Linux Mint box, and have added the GitHub repository. I can see the code, and lint options in the menus, but don't know where to start. Does anyone know of a flowchart, or process I could follow?
Many thanks,
Chris
