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.

What is chroot?
A chroot image is like a Virtual Machine where you are running an O.S within an O.S.The point of this is that you have a whole Linux System running on a phone where you can ofcourse access all the utilities available in Linux.and as it runs inside of android you dont need to flash anything and can use both the chrooted O.S and Android together.
Things required:-
1)Terminal
2)Root
3)Sdcard with atleast 2GB of free space
4)A Brain

Hi! Have you tried this on stock kernel? I believe stock kernel doesn't have loop devices enabled and MIUI is a rebase of CM? Not sure though that's why I'm asking.

The Miui i used was on Stock Kernel.The Kernel Does Support Loop devices.Miui is a Rebase of CM but the loop functionality is related to Kernel.So,Yes it Works on Stock Kernel on Locked/Unlocked Bootloaders Both as we are not flashing anything.
Anyway Give Ubuntu a go.

Thanks! Just clarifying things out I haven't meddled with stock kernel that much that's why I am asking. Well the kernel sources sony provided has loop devices disabled by default glad that it's enabled on the official precompiled one.
Anyways! Try packing backtrack that should be alot useful than debian w/ lxde or a classic ubuntu image.
I got backtrack to run on Pro sometime ago when I was still using gingerbread.

Already Did.Will upload it sometime Later today or tomorrow.
Debian and Ubuntu both have lxde pre-installed.

Hi! seeing that you're a fanatic of these perhaps it would be useful if I give you these.
http://50.56.186.177/filez/
Those are packed and reduced sizes of debian & fedora arm images made to fit for chrooting on mobile devices. I made those for my previous device and is very stable already with 256mb RAM
the debian image is a squeeze version. Plus included is the fix for pulse audio. I'm not sure if it would work out of the box for android but with just a little bit knowledge with basic linux stuffs you could get it running perfectly

THANKS for the link...Meego wont chroot..tried it on the optimus a few months ago and failed..problem with zephyr..will give it a go later.fedora I had as well..but the thing is ...Does anyone except me even use these here????
I do but not that much. Like I said I just only tried backtrack and obviously I use it only when needed
Say do you think it would be possible to include a custom kernel on a chrooted image? It would be cool if we have backtrack here with monitor mode enabled. I think the wlan drivers/hardware of Xperia devices have the capability.
Or also try posting this thread to some other Xperia Sub forums. Arc/Pro users seem to be not very open to these kind of works. They just care on custom ROMs
In short they aren't geeky enough They aren't even that interested in dual booting.

In theory yes its possible.but changes will have to be made to the arm kernel to chroot.when u type uname in terminal the output inside the chroot is different than the android kernel.but I think native booting will be better than chrooting..not being interested is just odd....its so much fun having linux on the go

Actually I know I am going to say something Off-Topic
1) People on XDA are now the people who have got a smartphone just because they can afford one and wanna make their phone look "kewl" than the others with the same device
2) People do dumb things like cross flashing kernels.. They dont even read carefully what the OP says..
3) Running linux on a phone would be the best thing.. specially on an xperia pro where you get a harware keyboard..

Yes you can you can either dual boot windows and linux or run it in a virtual machine or you can use a special installer that essentially allows you to install linux like any other windows application and uninstall it when you want to get rid of it.
I assume you want to get into android development maybe compile android from source. I'd recommend ubuntu and until the kinks are worked out I'd go with ubuntu 11.10 which you can get here:
http://releases.ubuntu.com/11.10/
Information on dual booting windows and linux:
http://www.linuxbsdos.com/2011/10/27/dual-boot-ubuntu-11-10-windows-7-on-a-pc-with-2-hard-drives/2/
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot
Running linux in a virtual machine:
https://www.virtualbox.org
Install linux using special installer (wubi):
http://releases.ubuntu.com/11.10/wubi.exe
Hope this helps you if you need any help feel free to ask or if you want some guides on developing android on linux (compiling from source, kernels, etc.) I can help with that to

Always glad to help let me know like I said if you want some guides on compiling linux on android and suff like that ... oh what the heck here are some guides:
Official Google guide to building Android from source on Linux
Official Google guide to building Android Kernel from source on Linux
Build Cyanogenmod from Source
How to use Github for Android Development
Basic commands for Linux and Android
Moved to Off-topic.
The easiest way to install Ubuntu is to use Wubi. It lets you install Ubuntu like a regular application in Windows.
- Download Wubi
- Choose Ubuntu in the list
- Click install
- It'll download and install Ubuntu for you
- Reboot and choose Ubuntu at boot
- You're done.
If you want to remove Ubuntu from your computer, you simply boot into Windows and uninstall it like a regular application If you decide to permanently keep it i recommend you install it by itself on a separate partition. That way it'll run better. But if you just plan to try it and you're not planning on running some heavy stuff (games etc.), then Wubi will do it just fine.
Hi, I would like to run linux instead android, -WOLF- from 4pda.ru have done this with his samsung galaxy spica and I would like to do the same for our OB.Here is origina thread on 4pda.ru but it is all in russan.I tried to make a kernel with frambuffer console and sdcard as root directory but it failed.So anyone who can cook kernels please help.Then, when kernel is done we will try to run linux(ubuntu, andstrom, etc.).
Thank u!
Here is angstroms LFS for abstract smarphone and people wich port it to their devices

I had installed successfully UBUNTU with VNC but result was not one can use daily so removed in one hour, though good for experiment.
And our OB processor is not enough powerful you can throw Linux. Minimum requirement for UBUNTU is dual core processor.
Search UBUNTU on mobile, or UBUNTU;s official site.
cant we run win 95 ?

I don't mean linux on androi, I mean installing linux instead of android and I'd like to use Angstrom and if galaxy spica and gio can run it our OB will do it !And it doesn't requires prosessors clock and a lot of ram because there is no android, it runs along as native os.And i know about ubuntu for mobile, it runs on android and it is like a linux on android.

No.We can run linux because we can take android's linux kernel.Android is very low weight linux.
First we need just enable framebuffer console in kernel, this will help us with starting linux ::

Android is based on Linux, so what do you expect by running Linux on OB?
I don't have time to do that, so I'll just wait and see your progress then...
What will you choose? Computer with linux dis. or with android?I think with linux.

redy2006, please help with kernel, i'm gonna get craizy with this kernel...
In the past I had a chinese android device which had 3 options of booting: Android, Linux(I think ubuntu) and Windows CE.
It's really very nice to run linux because it looks like a real pc

mobile device, well i think this will make our device more poerfulll, we could use the programs wich are not ported on any android device, and do many more!

I was launched with apk i foger it two weeks ago windows 95.It booted 30 sec.mouse control was very hard and i couldnt access sd files.Than I delete win95 image and application.
Win 95 can run alongside android but if u want to make it your native os u must work alot to port it.And in this thread i don't mean runing any os with android i mean runnning linux dis. instead of android.
Any question about "4pda.ru" here: http://onlinecontent.ru/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2&sid=09bc3461206b22af1e5f924e0fc2900c
Hi,
I have been looking for any information but i couldn´t find anything (or i didn´t search proprely) but I want to know if this device can act like a mini pc itself. I mean, in other pcs you can install, reinstall and change OS.
Is there any possibility of installing Phoenix OS, Android x86 (or android os) or any other OS instead of the Remix?? I have been wondering to give it a chance if I can change OS to have a portable PC (I am thinking to have it for school, I am teacher) and connect it to proyectors...
If anyone has any idea is more than welcome, and if I find any solution or I can install any other OS i will edit the post!!
All together, more power :highfive: :highfive: :victory:
Cheers!!
Unfortunately I think this was discussed a long time ago on this forum, there was never enough development support to make it happen.
