I have installed Ubuntu on my android phone by following the nexusonehacks.net guide. All is working well. The reason I am creating this thread is because in nexusonehacks.net guide he mentions that he got his ubuntu.img from some guys at the xda forums.
I am wanting to get an ARM img of mint linux (LXDE version) and while I have spent countless hours trying to figure out how to install mint linux with an ARM emulator it appears to be above my linux knowledge.
I know that mint linux is based on ubuntu and should have the latest linux kernel and therefor has ARM support built in already, so that is not a problem, no need to compile a kernel with support for ARM.
Basically I am just looking for someone who is running an ARM emulator or has an ARM based laptop to install mint linux (LXDE version) and do a disk dump of the HDD into an image file I can then use to replace the ubuntu.img file I am currently using on my phone.
If this would be a simple task for someone to do and upload the image, I would be most appreciative.
It would be best if I could have the dev who provided the original ubuntu.img file to nexusonehacks.net do the dd of mint linux as I am sure he knows all of the details of how to do a proper dd for use on an android phone. If anyone can point me in the direction of that particular dev, that would be great, thanks!
Buddy of mine was working on gentoo for his N900, which is an ARM proc. Ubuntu has an emulator for that, he said that it seems only ubuntu does, but you run a virtual machine with an ARM emulator. Thing is that I'm not sure if a standard ARM emulator would work too well, the chip on the N1 has some extra stuff on it apparently
It sounds to me complicated because Linux Mint is not distributed for ARM...
Take Debian
I know I did not helped, I just gived my advice on how to get Linux on Android phones: get debian which is available for tons of architectures, including ARM, natively.
Well, it doesn't really work that way. If the distribution doesn't have their packages built for ARM then it's not going to work. Yes the kernel supports ARM but it still has to be built specifically for the processor it's going to run on. That goes for most other software packages too.
Getting debian and LXDE running on the N1 is pretty easy to do. There is a guide buried a few pages down in this forum. Also, I'm hoping to release a script to help automate much of the install soon.

Well this pretty much answers my question. Thank you very much. At least I have ubuntu running on it, I will be happy with that.

Now that we know that it is running custom version of ubuntu, anybody want try compiling and running xbmc on it ?
XBMC trunk already contains most of the patches for tegra 2 and more will applied soon according XBMC developer ( davilla ). We should be able to test it now ..
<davilla> ssh in, install build tools, git install xbmc trunk, build for tegra2 and see if it works
That would be AWESOME!! I myself was wondering about running XBMC on webtop.
I tried installing git, but apt-get threw a bunch of dependency errors. I tried "apt-get -f install" but it wanted to remove most of the installed packages because they were not needed.
Any updates ?
Instead of trying to install via git why not download the tar of it and extract it ...
Hey guys!
Any news about it?
I really would like to see XBMC on webtop´s atrix!
I found this for the bravehearts.
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW-
TO_install_XBMC_for_Linux_on_Ubuntu,_a_Step-by-Step_Guide
NOTE: I have not tried it. You are in the DEV section, any mod attempts that YOU make to YOUR phone are YOUR own responsibility.
It is not listed here .... https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/armel?text=xbmc
So it probably has not been attempted.
I already did this steps but can´t work.
The XBMC is the most important thing to work for me on Atrix. I´ll wait for someone do that work,

I tried a couple of steps too, dependency hell. Not sure if it will be figured out in DEV section since it's more of an app thing.
I thought I saw a VM once that dev work could be done on. I'm on travel next week 10 hours of flight time plus sitting in Chicago for 3 hours both ways. Maybe I'll get motivated.
Oh man!
I hope you get motivated!
Really thanx!
You would need an x86 emulator or VM to run this I believe as it is only coded for x86. Running it through an emulator would be slow and unreliable or just plain broken most likely. Not to discourage anyone from trying.
XBMC Official Hardware Support List
Asking for a port of it would go in XBMC dev forums

Nope I've seen XBMC running on a beagleboard native, As well it ran very well. We have 2x the ram and 400mhz x2 more speed. So it should run.
I downloaded the XBMC through official site and one of the Readme file (README.armel) talks:
"
This is a port of XBMC for use on ARM Architecture.
As this is not an official version of XBMC, in-depth testing on various setups has not been done. USE WITH CAUTION!
For the purpose of this port, the following Hardware and Software was used.
Software: Scratchbox (cross-compiler) on a Linux (Ubuntu) machine.
Hardware: BeagleBoard (ARM Cortex-A8 with IMG POWERVR SGX).
The source code is based on XBMC for Linux - version 9.11 (Camelot)."
So, I think its possible to run on Atrix, correct? But I have to do a lot of hard things to try it and I´m not able to do it, but it´s a good news.
I think I'm getting lost here....
What is the intention for using XBMC within webtop? Streaming to or streaming from phone?
I've found these apps

And here's the VM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=992178
xPerfect virtual appliance - Android SDK r10 / NDK r5b - dev
dicksteele
I´ll try to explain (sorry, bad english)
I´ll conect my Atrix on dock HD and 2 hd extern (plugged on dock usb´s port).
So, trought the webtop, I open the XBMC and this show me the files (movies and tv series) on my HD´s.
XBMC has a nice e configurable interface.
I´ll look this apps!
Thanx!
Interesting......
I'd try it but going on travel tomorrow and I need my phone

Hi man.
I´d tried it (the armel version) but appears a lot of dependecies and I could´t try to install it.
Here is xbmc dev forum with it but for tegra 2 reference board though:

Is the Ubuntu running as a VM on Atrix4G ?

I don't believe it's running as a VM, it's running as a full instance.
From what I can read on the XBMC threads there are some problems.
But I found a guide for the BeagleBoard that might help people get going, dont think it will run out-of-the-box with this guide.
http://elinux.org/BeagleBoard/GSoC/2010_Projects/XBMC
Since we have the ability to install the full ARM-based distribution of Ubuntu Linux (in a "chroot", similar concept to a Virtual Machine), I think we may have the ability to install MetaSploit on the Galaxy Tab.
Can anyone provide any pointers on how to get started with this kind of effort? The instructions to install full Ubuntu Linux in a chroot are at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=836022&page=4
From within this Ubuntu Linux environment we can "apt-get install" just about anything from the ARM-architecture based Ubuntu Linux repositories using the Terminal Emulator. This means we could probably "apt-get install" most of the MetaSploit components, if they are available in ARM-architecture form.
Any thoughts on this are much welcomed. Thank you.
This should be no problem, it has been done on other devices, for pieces that are not already in package form you'll have to find and compile source....a good hint for the packages you'll want to look for a guide on how to install it on a Nokia N900
What has this got to do with Android development??
This should be in Genera section.
hey dude, i've been looking to port this for awhile without success, i can't understand how the guys at rapid7 did the port for IOS and not for Android... I've read that the key is to get ruby working on Android so far there is jruby i believe that isn't fully functional yet...

I found a link to an article which seems to explain how to do this...
http://r00tsec.blogspot.com/2011/05/metasploit-on-android-htc-desire-hd.html
We should try this on the Tab.
Update:
I got MetaSploit working on the Tab! I needed to follow the instructions mostly from http://r00tsec.blogspot.com/2011/05/metasploit-on-android-htc-desire-hd.html
I did have to install ruby ("apt-get install ruby" at the command line) and Ruby Gems (search for the exact apt-get name) inside the chroot'd Ubuntu environment though.
I was able to enlarge the 2 GB Ubuntu image to almost 4 GB using the instructions posted on the blog shown above which provided plenty of space to install MetaSploit and other InfoSec tools.
The next goal is to get BackTrack 5 (ARM) running.

Hello everybody,
I haven't really done much on these forums, so when the AOSP source came out, I decided that now was the time for me to come and help. Pretty much anybody that wants to help right now can help, especially beginners if you want to learn how to build your own ROMs, as this is also my first ROM. I don't have a 64-bit computer, so I won't be able to do much except for Fridays when me and my friends (who have 64-bit computers) hang out. I know the Nookie devs a are working on cm10, but if they want to come in and help every so often, I would love that.
PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THESE ARE PRE-PRE-ALPHA BUILDS! ONLY USER THESE BUILDS IF YOU ARE WILLING TO SACRIFICE YOUR NOOK!
I am currently getting a goo.im account to host the builds on.
Thanks to anybody who decides to help.

Not to sound disrespectful but why do we need this thread? I'm just asking because wouldn't the nookie dev team just continue cm10.1 through the Nightlies thread? And if you follow cyanogenmod on G+ they have said they're still working on adding features from cm10 to the new branch of jellybean(4.2), so wouldn't these builds be a little premature?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Oh. Now I sound stupid. The point about cm10.1 still in development is definitely something I overlooked, but with the nookie devs just taking over the whole build, I disagree with that. One of the main points of this thread is to help people that want to build and debug but don't know how to. Since AOSP 4.2 is for the most part stable, I think I might work on that instead.
Sent from my NookColor using xda app-developers app
Because there is no actual development in this thread, i have moved it to general for now. Should development happen, we can look at moving it back.
Fair enough.

Okay well since I've got a few people here, might as well start. If anyone still wants to come in though, that's fine. Pretty much all I know at this'd point is that you need a 64-bit Linux computer. I'll go research a little after school tomorrow and report what I find. Also, we might as well include the 4.2.1 bug updates while we're at it so then my dad doesn't get kicked off my contacts list. (Is the 4.2.1 update source available yet?)

That's what everybody says. But they said the same thing about CM9 and I successfully built on my 32bit Ubuntu. But when I tried to move to CM10, it kept getting stuck, freezing. So now I am in the process of starting over with 64bit.

Yeah I don't have 64 either... Is the Acer c7 a 64bit computer because I could just hack Ubuntu on it, if not I could sign up for amazon ec2, but that requires a random number to call me and my parents would not be very happy with that.
Sent from my NookColor using xda app-developers app
Okay, I was reading thru the source code tutorial on android.com, and it seems that building on a 32bit environment should in theory work, since all the required packages are i386 compatible:
For Ubuntu 10.04-11.10:
Code:
git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential \
zip curl zlib1g-dev libc6-dev lib32ncurses5-dev ia32-libs \
x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev lib32readline5-dev lib32z-dev \
libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib mingw32 tofrodos python-markdown \
libxml2-utils xsltproc
And for Ubuntu 12.04 (Not officially supported, but should work since we'll work on the master branch):
Code:
git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential \
zip curl libc6-dev libncurses5-dev:i386 x11proto-core-dev \
libx11-dev:i386 libreadline6-dev:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 \
libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib mingw32 openjdk-6-jdk tofrodos \
python-markdown libxml2-utils xsltproc zlib1g-dev:i386
Once I get home, I will see if it will compile on my Kubuntu 12.04 32-bit laptop (since Kubuntu is an official derivative of Ubuntu, it will probably work, especially since it has the apt-get repos) and tell you guys what happens, maybe post a video.
okay, I installed all of the packages for 12.04 successfully, except for when I tried installing the sun-java6-jdk, I was told that it didn't work or something. but in the packages list, there is the openjdk, so i hope thats not a problem. right now im trying to free up some space because my stupid 40 gb hard drive (dont make fun!) doesnt exactly like having 30 gb free.
PS is anybody still even following this thread?
THIS IS MY 42ND POST! YAY! 42!

Do a web search for the sun-java6-jdk. It was removed from both conical and that maverick repository. It can still be installed once you find the right place. I just did it a few days ago. And I think it is required that it be sun rather than open.

Not sure for 4.2 but I built 4.1 lots of times using openjdk. The compiler complains about it but it works fine. Also andbot should work fine with some tweaks for 4.2
Im interested in this tread although i use a momo9 ... Im been wanting to learn how to . I run arch linux 64
Alright, for starters, proper java support is actually crucial when you think about the fact that Android is built almost entirely in java. So I would suggest to go to developer.android.com and set up an appropriate development environment upon a clean install of a stable linux os (clean, ideally, otherwise, YMMV.. so clean.).
Android Devs just put out bundled Eclipse + AndroidSDK + Eclipse ADT plugin for all relevent architectures and OSes. It's a one-click-download-and-develop... once you separately download from Sun the Java package that matches your environment (Windows, Mac, Linux [x86/x86_64]). I recommend an older Ubuntu or Mint, like the previous LTS.. Newer is not always better.
With Linux, you can simply grab the appropriate Java pack and extract it into the resulting ADT Bundle from Google directory. Open the compressed Java package, rename the folder to jre from jre.1.7.whatever.the.full.name.is. Then extract it to eclipse/jre. This allows you to jusr run the eclipse exec from directory and java will work flawlessly, in linux.
From this point you can set up the rest of the build environment with a clear mind that the resulting errors will be much simpler to triage.

Hi want backtrack on your mb860
http://stuffresearch.tor.hu/?p=245 this guide will work. And uses the official arm img. You will end up with a chroot ubuntu. Which basically means they "share" root.
If you need help ill help. After you got it all working i recommend running an ssh server on android so you can ssh into your android from ubuntu.

The guide might be hard. But i can break it down to even a 5 year old. So post if u think its too hard. Running backtrack n my tiny phone and booting up etherape and watching my android connections is just plain fun! And i want you guys to get it too!
You do not need linux to do this... but for obvious reasons use linux.
