[QPAIR/LOA] - LinuxonAndroid GPad support - G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development

This will be used to detail how to get LinuxonAndroid running on the GPad and the process of QPair support to bring new and interesting features to the project as a whole.
Step 1 - Install Linux on the tablet
We shall start by using the standard Complete Linux Installer to install and run Linux with the GUI pumped over VNC (Frame buffer method coming soon!), this method works on most devices and is the most universal but as the project develops in the coming weeks a better method for the GPad will be developed.
Anyway on with installing!
Root
First things first you will need to root your tablet, currently my tablet is running Stock V50020d with root.
The below will most likely work on other ROMs as long as you have root it should work!
(A custom ROM may be developed for further features.. watch this space)
Download
Now we have root you will need to download the below:
Complete Linux Installer
Terminal Emulator
VNC View (I recommend PocketCloud)
Finally download A Linux .img file from our source forge site HERE, I recommend and will be using Ubuntu 13.10 Small ext4. Once downloaded extract the .zip file and copy the .img to your devices memory (internal memory or sdcard).

Let me understand, you want to port QPair to linux that will run on the G pad?
Disclaimer: I'm also in the challange but the idea of running linux on the tablet is really interesting.

I guess @zacthespack wants to use linuxonandroid on tab and sync stuff with a third party such as keyboard, etc using QPair.
Another Disclaimer here Good luck to everyone!

Bingo!
With linuxonandroid running on the tablet we could then use QPair to allow the user to have a phone (or another tablet..?) as the mouse/keyboard for Linux

posted first steps in OP to start getting LoA running on the tablet.
Everything is running very well, I shall finish the guide shortly to get LoA running but really the app install guide will work perfectly.
Next step I will be releasing a special Ubuntu 14.10 image which will be the supported image for QPair features and other changes for the GPad.

it say I need a loopable kernel which I didn't find for stock LG rom...

Stock LG kernel does have loop support so you should have no issue here, if you are having another issue getting linux to start let me know, shall be updated the OP in the next few days

Howdy, cool project. Couple of questions. I'm looking for a reason to install Linux on my tablet, but also understand that I can remotely view my home system with vnc. So what would be the benefit?
Is there more control using Linux to Linux?
Does this mean I could open into my home system, make changes to my kernel, compile, and upload to a server from my tablet?? Late night insomnia while in the mountains would be awesome. I would have to tether my tablet to my phone for WiFi, and run through Linux? This sounds pretty awesome.
Tell me the reasons it won't work.

Pretty awesome OP. Thanks!

Cant log in ubuntu
Can somebody tell me why im not able to boot?im running lollipop with red kernel and before i was running kitkat and still the same.Im my g2 there is no problem but on tab doesn work.I download complete linux installer,busybox,terminal and vnc and i never get the @root.i trh also a differend image but nothing.Any help will be appreciate

MetaSploit on Galaxy Tab

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 heart your name atheist
Sent from my SCH-I800 using XDA App
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.

[DEV]Chroot-Linux on Xperia Devices Locked/Unlocked Bootloaders(Debian,Ubuntu,BT5up)

Hi,
I have just bought a new Xperia Pro and Here is My first Contribution.Hope you guys like it.
I have tested it personally on the Unoffical MIUI port for PRO.But it should work on other Kernels and Xperia Devices as well.
I am posting a few Screens for you guys and as you can see lxde is already pre-installed for you guys.
Feel Free to comment
Disclaimer:-
I am Not responsible if anything Happens to your Phone.You do it at your own Risk and Responsibilty,
If you Screw Up then dont Blame Me.
I am not responsible for Anything.
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.

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..

[ROM] [ICS] [AOKP] DroidNix ~ Native Linux Applications ~ No Chroot

I have build AOKP ICS for the P4-WiFi and have edited the ram-disk in order to include the core Linux files, and I am currently working on installing Lua, Perl, and Hamachi, and making a CWM flash-able zip.
I will not hold your hand! This is not this hard.
This is not perfect, it may need some tinkering with to make it work!
If this bricks your tablet, I am not responsible, but I will attempt to help you fix it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~Installation Instructions~~~~~~~~~~
Download everything in the http://goo.gl/h3aDy folder.
Restore it with a CWM backup.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~Changelog~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
0.0.1-Alpha
Initial build with basic Ubuntu-ARMEL files and LSB-Core installed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~WIP~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-CWM Flashable ZIP
-Hamachi (Files.Hamachi.Cc mirror down. LogMeIn notified, awaiting solution.)
-Lua
-Perl
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*RESERVED*
Sorry about complicated installation instructions, I am working on simplifying them.
Hi man.
please tell us what is this exactly?is it an Ubuntu OS or sort of?
Question:in the "/downloads/" directory there's a build named "Latest-Build-EXPERIMENTAL.zip ".is it a flashable zip?
The only difference between Ubuntu or any other distribution are the repositories and the name. This was made of Ubuntu Lucid and the zip doesn't work yet.
interesting... keep it up!
Thanks, I want to get Hamachi working but the place they had the working build is gone.
Has anyone gotten it to work yet?
I've a GT-P7500 and will try it...Hate ADSL speed...
I don't n to be needly or pushy or anything, but can the OP, or anyone running the ROM, make a video showing the Native Linux app capability? I know it would have to be compiled for ARM and It's been hard finding ARM apps for Ubuntu, for example, but you can show me something cool then I'll love you all forever.
Does this have any package management included? How is this better than using chroot? In my experience for the things I want to do chroot is not bad other than the fact that I want an external keyboard (to program in emacs), but if this is faster somehow that could be nice. But I'd rather have the package repositories of Ubuntu over speed personally.
Waiting anxiously for a vid or a better explanation of it's use...Keep it man!!!
Perhaps if you compress it I can download...it's sooo big and my internet speed is 0.7mbps
It is better than chroot because it does not require a lot of the core Linux capabilities to run in two instances as in a chroot, so it is approximately twice as fast, and I am working on a package management app, but I cannot just use the Ubuntu repositories because I have to rebuild the applications for the specific hardware, but I am working on a package management app, but I am just learning Java.

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.

sooo much repo'ing to get AOSP before the compiling even begins. There's gotta be a better way for them to maintain the repository. :/
Edit:
After downloading around 40 gigs of files from AOSP, won't compile on our phones. Looks like build tools are only 64-bit and the Debian Jessie chroot I'm using on the phone isn't allowing the 64-bit tools to execute. Our kernel reports that it IS in fact x86_64, but I can't seem to find the phone's /lib64 directory to map to the chroot. So, something that could be fun is now a huge headache -- may need to put together a pc just to build this kernel & hope I still have enough bandwidth from my ISP to repo another 40 gigs.

It's already several years ago Android build tools migrated to x64-only. So, you cannot build Android (even 32bit version) on x32 machine.
Zenfone 2 kernel is 64bit. But Android itself is 32bit. You still can start 64bit binaries if you want. I'm using 64bit busybox and some other utilities I've made.
I didn't try to compile Zf2 kernel yet because there is no unlocked bootloader exist, so you simply can't boot your own kernel.
I was able to apt-get lib64 on debian jessie ( was called libc6-amd64 ) & that moved things along until the assembler refused to load libz.so. No amount of looking around helped figure that one out since libz.so did exist.
This is just something fun to do while waiting for the unlocked bootloader. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to just compile your own kernel on your phone?
Compilation requires a lot of typing in command line. I cannot imagine doing this on phone. It's simply crazy. I'm not even talking about time needed for compilation.
I'm using PC (with linux VM) to compile everything.

Yes, i've compiled many binaries already.
Of course it's possible to develop for ZF2. There is ASUS Nexsus Player (fugu) device in CM12 repository which is basically very close to ZE550/ZE551. So, there is already a lot of code in Cyanogenmod. But, i prefer stock ROM anyway.

That's good news sorg, great to know you've been getting some code flowing while waiting for the bootloader unlock tool.:thumbup: I'll have to check out your repositories when I get the chance, especially since I wanted the device tree for my rom projects.
