I've seen the one development thread trying to get working Ubuntu on the gtab, but has anyone attempted to use the 'Linux Installer' app from the market? It doesn't get great reviews but I'm very curious if it would work..I'd love to get a full OS on the gtab.

I'd love to see someone lay out the exact boot order of these devices. Normal boot looks for this, recovery boot looks for these files on x,y, then z.
Moved to themes and apps

Will anyone please post the APK for the USA today app for tablets? I believe Xoom's are the only device that can download the app since it's honeycomb+.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.usatoday.android.tablet.news
I'd like to work on getting it to run on a Nook Color running the Honeycomb preview and/or have it for when the Honeycomb official source is released.
Here you go.

I just stumbled on this today on the market from my laptop. Clicked to install from the laptop and it showed incompatibility with my tab (VeganGingerRC1/pershoots OC kernel). I thought it was just the gtablet, but after seeing this doesn't seem to be the case. Any ideas? Thanx!
I get error parsing the package. Running Cyanogen 7. I got the cnn tablet version to install.
Thanks

I am downloading and installing now.
No one has been able to stream yet as far as I know.

Im sure that the UI isn't optimized for the large screen.
Having any luck skull?
OK, ui was stuck in portrait, so not optimized for honeycomb. When it went to start streaming it switched to landscape.
Was able to sign in and see queue etc. Tried to stream and got an error after a few seconds saying it cannot connect to netflix servers. This is consistent with what others are experiencing.

just tried the apk as well, no bones on streaming...
looks like its a DRM lockdown. log copied from this thread
Here is the drm software and the .Apk
Should this thread be in development, or will the devs see it here easy enough?

Don't know that devs will touch it. My thread in the nexus one forum was shut down for beginning a discussion to get this going. Devs are probably worried about lawsuits or cease and desisted. Remember what happened to Cyanogen back in the day.

Well I searched around the forum to see if anyone had posted something like this but haven't found it. There were a few people who complained about flash videos/Hulu not working in the CM7 thread for the brand new CM7 release.
It does work (stock browser) if you go "More->Settings->Select User Agent" and change it to like Linux Desktop or IE6. Still running Flash 10.3 as well. I also clicked on the first ad when it came up. Some of the ads don't work (black screen with audio) but that didn't bother me much.
If someone else has already posted this or it wasn't a real problem then sorry for the post!
On a bad note, if you think this new release drained your battery before watching hulu....
Are you running a hacked version of flash or the market version? Comes up as not supported for me on the market version.

So I took the plunge and changed from Win 6.5 to nand install Android 2.3.5 on my two year old HD2(love android!)and one of the apps Iwas looking forward to using was Sky Go (launched today for selected devices) mainly for the sport. Shock horror no support for the HD2. Is anyone aware of a workaround? will someone on the forum be looking into a way around this? any advice welcomed Cheers newbie clarkyi
Why don't you just try installing the apk? There are some instructions here.

uh... well (from softpedia)
"Owners of unlocked Google Nexus 4 smartphones out there can now get a taste of a new Linux OS for their devices, as a Fedora 19 installer is now available for download for them.
The software enables them to easily install Fedora 19 for ARM on this Google phone, though it should be noted that this is not an official Fedora Linux project.
As phoronix notes, the installer comes from Rob Clark, who has been working on enriching the Freedreno Gallium3D graphics driver, and who used the Qualcomm A320 graphics in Nexus 4 for that.
The Fedora 19 installer that he wrote in the process is now available for download on GitHub as freedreno/nexus4-fedora, but might not receive support moving forth.
For enthusiasts, however, it might prove an interesting software to take for a spin on a Nexus 4, that’s for sure."
So, if you know Ubuntu touch preview - you know what this is

This is really interesting. I'm a long term Fedora user, and I've just bought a Nexus 4 with the intent of installing cyanmod on it. But for various reasons I would like to run a full Linux distro.
So my first question is this: Is there a phone app and a sms app available for any Linux distro? The closest thing I could find is gnokii, but it isn't for on the phone its self (at least that is my understanding). Would I have to write the phone app myself?
My second question is: Does it run well? (I mean Fedora on the Nexus 4) Or do need to find that out myself?
Thank you,
Christopher
PS. I've been searching the internet all day to try and answer these questions.

From what I gather from reading the README on github. This is NOT a ROM (not even close). This is absolutely not something to use instead of cyanogenmod, stock android, etc. And although I don't know positively (have not googled), I would guess no, there is not a phone or sms app for a desktop that is going to work. Not to mention how many other key components needed to make this a working android substitute.
What it is, is a kernel (a Fedora based kernel instead of an Android kernel). And you don't even flash the kernel... you load it and run it temporarily through adb. And then the installer will download and run an x11 display server (instead of the android surface_flinger server), and a Gnome desktop and other parts of Fedora.
It's not something that's ready for use as a phone OS. Far from it. It is just the beginnings of a start (though mad props are in order).
If you've tried the latest Ubuntu touch preview... and seen all of what's NOT ready in that project... then understand that this Fedora project is not even close to that stage of development yet.
Hi,
has anyone tried it recently?
It did not boot for me and got stuck at the "Google" logo.
ADB was working, but without wifi it is useless.
