So here's an idea. Could the Ubuntu hack for the Nexus a while ago, or say Better Terminal Pro from the market allow someone to use BackTrack on their nexus? Or is that completely out of the question? I'm not really so smart at this so I'm asking here. I'm talking like does the Nexus have the hardware capabilities of it?
wrong section, this really belongs in the Q&A section!!
as far as I know, it is partly possible (for some basic apps), but not yet feasible for wireless hacking (due to limited packet injection support)
What do you mean with backtrack - the distribution or the wifisniffer + aircrack? Because wifisniffer should work with this debian port because it doesn't need android.
backtrack is a whole suite of applications that would be a pretty heavy load for a phone. Would be sweet if it worked.
Hey guys,
i was just looking around and saw that meego has a new platform which supports tegra2 aswell. My question is, if anyone had thought about putting or the viability of meego on the optimus 2x? Since it the bootloader is not an issue here (like with the motorola atrix for instance), it shouldnt be that big of a problem or? i have an atrix myself but if we could get meego on the optimus 2x i would most probably exchange it
hers the link to the meego site: https://meego.com/downloads/releases/1.2/meego-v1.2-core-software-platform
what do you think guys?
I would like to know that why meego?.? It's really good and better than Android? I just interest and 3.1 ANDROID.

well meegoo is more like full linux, like you would have ubuntu or gentoo, but its tailored for handsets/tablets power, app and functionality wise (so you can use it as a phone), unfortunately the support for it is not really big. On the other hand Android is so to say java on top of a linux kernel, so in order to have some new app you have to do java, you cant use all the available stuff. second to that you could just connect the meego 2x over hdmi to a tv and have a full functioning linux machine so to say (with bt keyboard and mouse), thats why i was wondering, i myself have an atrix 4g, basically same board but its bootloader locked, so meego on it at least for now is out of the question, but we have webtop, which is a bit like real linux on a tv, however its some ultra crippled and old distro of ubuntu and the phone has to run two OSes (android and the ubuntu) and integrate them so that you can still use your phone as a phone, with meego its all one system, so its less resource consumable and easier to use
Me to i love meego because is an full linux os : amazing possibilitie with the hdmi cable.
Please someone could try to port meego on the O2X??
Thanks
Wasn't meego earlier ported to nexus one? That should help a lot

Iv got noo idea whether thisll work on mini...( i think ubuntu requires atleast 700 mhz processor ).. but no harm trying..
would be kinna cool to boast bout your mini with ubuntu os eh!
developers-- getting any creative ideas bout making use of this ??

Don't know if it will work on Galaxy Mini or not... But, Ubuntu is said to be available for smartphone and tablets very soon.... So, just wait for some official announcements and then only we need is some device manufacturer who can make smartphone with the released versuion of Ubuntu for smartphone.
cool !!!! keen to see ubuntu in my mini !!!
if anyone tries, please post!
It's works only if your ROM build supports uloops.
Original idea was posted by same guy that jailbrake iphones.
A original quoted think by Saurik:
Code:
This does not replace Android. This also gives you access to the full plethora of programs available in Debian and let's you continue using your phone as it was intended to be: as an Android device with all the capabilities thereof.
Please note that this is not a "port": Debian already supports ARM EABI, which is the underlying architecture of Android.
http://www.saurik.com/id/10
I tested a wile a go to install but was unssuces because my ROM build dose not support uloops.
But is not realy a Linux.Is just a linux installed on a device and you can visualize via a VNC server.Is almost the some with using a VNC to remote connect via wifi to your pc ,but this time is installed on your sd card.So speed is not limited anymore by wifi or 3g connection.
Debian and Ubuntu(what is a debian version) has support for ARM processors with armel builds.They build first time armel support for PPC notebooks that had ARM v.5 and ARM v.6(not very sure). Cortex cpu.So a native support for ARM cpu-s is there from long time.
I have no idea if support ARM v.6.
There is also a KDE version but supports only ARM v.7

And is come only with a HP tablet and Nvidia Tegra 2 for the moment.

Can we run Minecraft (Linux Edition) on the Razr I with chroot and the ArchLinux Distro?
The LWJGL-libaries for Linux need a X86 device. Since the Razr I is based on X86, it should be possible for us, to run the "real" Minecraft!
But is this real possible?!

No hurt in trying?
I would expect that it will work but there may be some issues. First of all expect it to be slow and laggy (however the lower resolution may help with this). Also, it would be so hard to control. And of course it may simply not work for a variety of reasons, for example minecraft often has issues identifying with graphics cards so it may freak out a bit with an SoC PowerVR chip.
I look forward to seeing the results! Hopefully they will be good because this is a great idea in its own weird little way.
on christmas vacation i am going to try running native ubuntu on our device, no time atm...
maybe i will try to get mc running later this day
i already have the arch so
update:
well that was kinda easy xD
running minecraft on my razr i, watching it from a vncviewr and using it...
laaaaaggg and only 20 mb ram remaining xD
Unfortunately I don't have time for the next few days, to mess around with it!
@Robbilie
Are there any special steps to do, to get Minecraft working or just simply launch it as usual?
The game might be real slow, because of the bad Software Rendering and the missing drivers for a better Hardware-Accelerated Rendering.
Good luck for the native Linux on the Razr I. Do you have any idea, how you will try this?
If a native Linux is possible in the end, Windows should be also possible, or not?
i installed open jdk via pacman (where open jdk is more laggy than oracle java in general)
then i just launcher the minecraft.jar from minecraft website and this was the result...
launch it from the vnc view, from console with exported display doesnt work for me....
android -> linux -> same base/kernel
android -> windows -> nothing the same at all
so i guess linux is what will work, windowss will require a loooooooooot more work
I would like to see Ubuntu running native on OUYA but my knowledge about porting Linux of any kind to other devices is simply not existant.
Is there anyone able and willing to do it? I think it should be relatively easy to do if you use ubuntu touch for asus transformer infinity (tf700t) to start because it also uses tegra 3 t33 as SoC. The touch enviroment obviously doesn't have to work so if you got time left you could do a preinstalled with KDE for good performance experience.
If tools like CWM or a cyanogenmod are helpfull you should go to the OUYA section of this wonderfull forum, they are avaliable right now.

Ubuntu touch was designed for Mobile devices.. OUYA requires you to have a display like a TV or a monitor, if you know where I'm going with this then what you're asking to be done is the same as running Android on a desktop. Just get the normal Ubuntu that's designed for desktops and laptops. Ubuntu touch is only for small devices.
There is no "normal" preinstalled Desktop version of ubuntu with bootloader out there for the OUYA.
Ubuntu touch is still a real linux just with a different kernel like the ARM server editions and another GUI optimized for touch
or am i mistaken?
The benefit of ubuntu touch is the optimized kernel for ARM SOCs like Tegra3 not OMAP 3 or OMAP 4 or the TI ARM structures. With a lot of time and reading and searching i think i should be able to compile one or i could use the kernels already made by canicoal.
Uninstall the touch stuff an installing an alternative GUI and so on shouldn't be the problem.
My biggest Problem is to get it running without an proper boot.img.
Ouya has, like other Android devices, no real bios or efi and the only way i know to change the OS is via ADB in combination with CWM an fastboot to change the system data and the boot.img.
So if anyone knows how to port it i (and many other ouya owners) would be really greatfull if someone would take the time to port a version of ubuntu to the ouya and ubuntu touch seems to be the easiest option.
A tutorial to boot any linux natively on ouya(not chroot or something like that) and change the bootloader would also do it but it would be a lot of work to write one for retards like me

Why would anyone want a mobile operating system on a device like that... Yes, Ubuntu Touch is still real Linux but if you wanna get an OS on OUYA that was designed for small screens and touch then be my guest.. And there already is Ubuntu desktop versions for ARM. You're better off getting the ARM version, stripping it down and putting a simple GUI.
Didn't find a Tegra3 optimized arm version yet and don't know which arm kernel version would be completely compatible. is a kernel optimized for cortex A9 enough? Link??
also the problem of no working bootloader still isn't solved.
would be fine with me if someone would port that. all i want is a working linux port for ouya

I would like to point out he is saying to change the desktop environment to run something more desktop friendly
Although the only environment I know of is a buggy version of unity from the Ubuntu ARM days...there might be gnome as well, if you look through the Backtrack and Kali sources

You're not going to find a version optimized for Tegra 3 on their site because Ubuntu already recognizes the chip..
I don't wanna sound like an a-hole but the idea is a bit far fetched.. the OS isn't even 100% stable, most core functions are working such as calling, wifi and other stuff.. but okay you get it to work right?, then what?, even if you use a GUI like GNOME which I doubt anybody is gonna want to port (since GNOME is made for desktops and laptops) you're still gonna be very limited. Plus does Ubuntu touch even support HDMI output yet?. There's just too much work for this..

maybe im dumb but i only find preinstalled ARM edition for servers with omap 3&4 architecture. would you please link the version you think is running? and do i need a boot.img modified for the ouya? if i need one, can you provide one or know somebody who can do it?
Someone is getting close to bring fully functional native Debian to the OUYA. Can't wait until all mayor issues are fixed :victory:
http://tuomas.kulve.fi/blog/2013/08/11/debian-on-ouya/
Isn't it as easy as taking an iso and turning it into a cwm bootanle zop and adding controller support?

If you know how to do it try it and post the results. I think there should be some issues otherwise Linux distros for OUYA would be accessable and widely spread.
But knowing the issues could help someone else to figure out how to do it right. So, as I said, please try and post the results.
