I am looking into dual booting windows 7 and Linux but in am not really sure which should be my choice I am used To fedora
But in read Ubuntu is the way to go but not sure which is Android friendly.

I personally enjoyed fedora a little bit more than Ubuntu. But Ubuntu is more android friendly as far as I know.

Same here and I do not like the fact that Ubuntu does not have a menu like Fedora
Sent from my DROID RAZR CDMA XT912 using Tapatalk 2
Ubuntu by default uses the Unity desktop environment. Fedora uses Gnome. You can get the the same menus you just need to install the gnome desktop environment on Ubuntu. It should be in the software manager

Also Ubuntu is much more geared toward android development then mint or fedora. While many of the guides you find for android development require or strongly recomend linux they are usually written for Ubuntu, and to get them to work on mint or fedora can be a pain due to package differences and other subtle differences.

Building from source is also possible on fedora I believe. You just need to install the build-essentials package as it installs all the required packages for building. And then install the gcc toolchain

Mint is based off Ubuntu...shouldn't be much probs there.
I prefer Ubuntu over Mint in terms of everything.
Fedora I never tried.
I heard it's possible to build android even on Arch Linux. (pretty cool )
I've compiled cm7 kernel on arch Linux. The thing with arch Linux is its time consuming to set up and you must know what you are doing. Incase anything happens you might have to investigate. Arch Linux is a great distro as everything is almost always up to date. (Software repo called AUR) and you have full control over everything. It is so customizable that no two installs are the same.

Really not sure why this is in Android Development as it has nothing to do with either.
Moved to off-topic.
there's no best GNU/Linux than Ubuntu 10.04 (for developpment and for daily use)
so what package is in what not do I need to install on is it too then

I just did the windows installer with the 30 gig partition. Do I need to downgrade?
Sent from my DROID RAZR CDMA XT912 using Tapatalk 2
You don't have to downgrade if you don't want too. Unfortunately compliling anything other then the master branch of AOSP only has experimental support on 12.04. While you can compile other stuff there are some tweaks and other changes you'll probably need to make. Also things that compile fine on 10.04-11.10 will often result in compile errors on 12.04. Obviously these problems will eventually be sorted out they just can make things frustrating at times.

im currently running ubuntu 10.4 lucid,
i'm installing it alongside windows but the partition for the linux is ext4,
its better to have a ext4 for linux rather than NTFS,
as for your question,
im not sure since i used the alternative installer,
you can try the regular installer if it has an option to install into a NTFS partition

Hey there
Is it possible to experience Firefox os on our wonderful phone?
Any developers working on this?
Compatible devices (no armv6)

Even if someone manage to boot it I think it will lag as hell so I don't think there is any good reason for it....just my opinion though

ok,
seems interesting but im not that optimistic about it(firefox os)...
I'm not interested in this thing, so I'm neutral. As I see feherneoh have more knowledge about android than the most "dev", but I don't know this is enough or not to reach his own goals.
Try to be optimistic, maybe another dev join to this project.

Haha, look what I found, first Firefox os phone is made by ZTE which is using an arm6 processor & 250 MB of ram .
So it's compatible with a6 CPU & maybe our tiny RAM memory

From what I have read it seems that Firefox os will be for low budget devices,but the low budget device before 2(maybe 3) years(x8) and the low budget now are very different...lets wait
it is possible? linux on raspberry pi. i work in linux and i dont know if it is possible. install linux
It is possible
Because the official system is modified debian
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I think every OS for the pi is Linux based
Sent from my XT860 using xda premium
There are several flavours of linux on the official download page below.
There is Raspbian which is based on Debian, and Pidora which is based on Fedora.
There is the rather minimalist Arch-Linux, if you really want to roll your sleeves up.
Also for good measure, there is a version of the RISC-OS that ran on the Acorn Archimedes machine, although this is a non-linux OS.
Write the OS images to your SD card and turn it on. That's all there is to it.

No, only the popular ones. For example the already mentioned RISC OS is not a linux. There's also a plan9 port. Apparently some people are also trying to port Haiku.

I forgot about RISC. It's fair to say many are linux based. To answer the op though, yes it is

To get a fast overview about the most operating systems aviable for the Pi go over at the official Website and go to the download section.
If I remember correctly there are the following operating systems aviable: Raspian (modified debian), debian, Arch-linux, pidora (modified fedora), Risc Os, Raspbmc and OpenELEC (Raspbmc and OpenELEC are xbmc ports)

I'd recommend starting with Raspbian, as most development samples, software and stuff is being made/written for the default distro.
Which is based on Debian anyway, so it should be easy enough to use.
noobs
http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads
I recommend downloading noobs and install raspbian. that's the easiest way for getting started. And the good thing about noobs is, that you can easily reinstall the os after you made giantic mistakes and destroyed the system
links
u can get link for all OS available for Raspberry pi here
^ awesome! Thank you!
Thank you!
I used debian based, but i want i know if is better, fedora or archilinux for pi, who manage better resources?? because i used pi like a server files and torrent but i try run xbmc in debian dont run well.

You can use Berryboot to have both installed.
I use OpenElec rather than xbmc, IMHO it runs a lot smoother.

I am including a link for using toolkit to install Android: http://liliputing.com/2014/06/use-touchpad-toolbox-install-android-erase-webos-hp-touchpad.html
Although the author uses windows, it really is fairly simple in Ubuntu.
Follow the instructions given and when you get to #6.
Use your terminal and navigate to where you have the tptoolbox_v40 folder.
This is the command to execute sudo ./tptb_v40_nix.sh
Worked like a charm for me!
