[Guide] Building your own ICS ROM on 64-bit Windows 7

Please note that this is a guide to how to setup an environment to create your own ROM, and to build a test AOSP ICS Rom that will work on an emulator. While it is possible to do all this in 32-bit Win 7, you will find it much (!) easier in 64-bit Win 7. The intention is to allow all the folks who have said they'd like to work on a ROM to get their feet wet. If you complete all the steps in this guide you will have a Vanilla ICS Rom that works in the Android Emulator. You would still need to modify the kernel for the Tegra and add the special radio and other drivers before porting to the Streak.
Of course you can skip step 4 if you are willing to either dual-boot Ubuntu, or go into Ubuntu full time. However I figure a lot of folks on here are still on Windows for one reason or another.
1) Make sure that the ROM for your Windows 7 computer is set to allow Virtualization. If you have a Core i7 this will be the default. Otherwise you will need to make sure to set it manually through the Setup that should come up before BOOT.
2) Download VirtualBox 4.1.8
DL Link here for VB:
http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.1.8/VirtualBox-4.1.8-75467-Win.exe
DL Link here for VB Extensions (necessary for USB, shared folders, etc):
http://download.virtualbox.org/virt...alBox_Extension_Pack-4.1.8-75467.vbox-extpack
3) Download Ubuntu 11.04 64-bit
DL Link here:
http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download
Make sure (!) to select the 64-bit version before clicking download
4) Install VirtualBox and Ubuntu:
Install and Setup Guide:
http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorial...ndows-7-virtual-machine-using-virtualbox.html
(Note that some of the images from this guide are from an earlier version of Ubuntu)
I personally recommend that as long as you have at least a Quad Core that you give your VB machine Two Cores and Two Gigs of RAM. For the HD size of your Virtual HD remember that the Android Source Code is almost 16 Gigs. For speed and other purposes I suggest creating a fixed size 80 Gig (or larger) Virtual HD. While this can be on an external drive, if you have room on an internal drive that will also improve performance.
5) Install the Toolchain (Android Build Environment):
http://mjanja.co.ke/2011/11/building-android-4-0-on-ubuntu-11-10/
The first three steps will take between 1-2 hours. Step 4 will take an hour or so as well. Step 5 takes multiple hours due to the size of the Android repo source library. Plan accordingly
Hope this helps!

Looks good, but its way easier to use a direct Ubuntu installation, dude.
So far as i can see, you can use the sdk on 32-bit, too.

Mind everyone he said this was for AN EMULATOR

And that it still requires tuning for the Tegra chip and the custom radios. This is not a new ROM, rather it is what you would need to do to setup an environment to create a ROM.Just saw so many folks saying they would like to help, that it seemed to make sense to show them how to get started. If anyone has gone through this and is ready to take that next step, this would be a good place to let folks know.

Support on 32-bit is "experimental" according to Google. As for a direct install, that'sonly true if you are ready to convert to Linux or dual boot. On a fast machine having the VM is actually pretty quick, and allows you to mess up without impacting everything else.

​ Welcome to the Tablet Z Competition entry thread for the LinuxonAndroid project!
This thread is for three sub projects of the LinuxonAndroid project.
Thanks to winning the tablet we will be working on three different versions of Linux running on Android, each with their own post below.
Standard LinuxonAndroid - optimised for tablet z (and other 10inch tabs)
The first port of call, I shall be testing all our current image files, any issues I find with any of them shall be fixed up to give a smooth and stable 'standard' linuxonandroid experience (As laid out in the first post).
Any small optimisation for the tablet will also be laid out here (extra scripts etc. that do not make it into the normal release) as well as features I will work on using the tablet as a test device. The biggest of these will be using native graphics and the Android frame buffer, because vnc is so 2008
Integrated LinuxonAndroid ROM
An idea the LinuxonAndroid team have played with for some time, but that never happened.. until now!
I shall be building and releasing a custom ROM that shall feature closer integration between Linux and Android but still allow easy access for to both.
This will involve custom Linux installs and Android side work that will allow the two to 'talk' passing notification information between the two among other things
Native Linux boots
For those that want to do away with Android completely! I shall also be working on native Linux installs to allow you to turn your powerful tablet into a fully fledged Linux machine.
All the works will be available on our brand new LinuxonAndroid git, for you to fork and push until your hearts content https://github.com/linuxonandroid
Change log:
23/07/13
*Added github account (https://github.com/linuxonandroid)
*Started working on pushing first alpha of LinuxonAndroid ROM

Standard LinuxonAndroid - optimised for tablet z (and other 10inch tabs)
What is this all about?/Why put this on my device?
This projects aim is to bring a range of linux distros to your android device through a method known as 'chroot', see it has running a linux distro within a virtual machine on your phone (Although its not! its using native ARM ports and the Android kernel) . You can access this virtual machine and run it on your phone without causing any damage to your device, or having to overwrite anything. Why might you want this? well my apps are designed to make the install and set up process as easy as possible while still giving you some flexibility. Once you have the distro up and running then you can pretty much run and install any linux software you like (so long as there is a arm port or it is not architecturally dependent).
Wait this uses VNC why shouldn't I just VNC to a computer?
VNC is used to access the GUI as at the moment I have not yet implemented a native way of viewing the GUI. But the Linux distro itself is running within the phone and can be controlled via the terminal app so if your a seasoned Linux user you may never even want to use the GUI
What is Chroot?/How does this work?
"A chroot on Unix operating systems is an operation that changes the apparent root directory for the current running process and its children" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chroot
This method of running linux distros with android has been around for some time. I have worked on my scripts to make the process more user friendly and give you far more options from the word go.
The scripts start by mounting the linux image file within the android file system and then mounts the sdcard and if you have it internal memory within the linux file system.
Chroot is then used to change the root directory to that of the mounted linux and a bash shell is then opened to allow you to control linux this is kind of like 'booting' the OS.
The likes of VNC and SSH are then set up when linux is 'booted' to allow you to connect to the GUI if you require it.
Interested?
Ok so you want to get one of the support linux distros on your device, great welcome to the team
But first you will need to find out if your device is compatible with the method before anything else, this method 'should' work with pretty much any device but some ROM's/kernels will not work as they do not have loop device support etc.
HERE is a list of working devices and ROM's/kernels but remember just because its not on the list simply means no one has told me its working, it could still work!
Free Apps/Files
App
The App can be download via google play or the open source version can be download via source forge.
Distro Images
Below are our currently supported distros, click the distro of choice to go to its image download page on our source forge site (including torrent downloads)
Kali Linux
Testing
Below is all testing notes for the range of images, please note if you are running this on the stock ROM and kernel you will need to be about to mount /system as r/w see HERE for a work around (or install a custom ROM).
When using VNC to get the right screen size use 1920x1100 as the screen rez.
Ubuntu
Large - Works well, although like al devices Unity is rather slow over VNC so not recommended for every day use
Small - The most stable and best distro to use! so far found no issues and is very quick thanks to LXDE
Core - Works well with no issues, perfect for anyone that just wants the command line!
Backtrack
All works and includes a wide range of testing tools, plus uses the gnome 2 GUI which personally I really like!
Debian
Fedora
OpenSuse
ArchLinux
Kali Linux
Working well although terminal within VNC does not work, and kali is missing many of its tools (due to not having enough free space to install them all). Other than this it works very well using the XCFE interface.

Integrated LinuxonAndroid ROM
An idea the LinuxonAndroid team have played with for some time, but that never happened.. until now!

Awesome!
Q: Will the LinuxonAndroid ROM work like the Ubuntu guys showed early last year? And will you be basing it on stock FW, vanilla or your own flavour?
Very excited by this.

Most likely a CM base although still playing with ideas to give the best base. And yes the long run goal will be to have a set up much like the 'Ubuntu on android' demo with things like android notifications showing up in linux , sharing access to memory etc.

Its true that you will not get native linux, but you can still use the 'standard' linuxonandroid install, which installs linux within android, all you need is root and you should be good to go, check my sig for the main thread for more info, as this thread will be more specific to the tablet z

Little update.
I am currently in Paris until Wednesday doing a short internship. However when I return I should have a nice new tablet z waiting for me at which point we can get things started around here

So the device will now be in either tomorrow or monday

Device came today, rooted and work has started, here we have Ubuntu 12.04 full image running very smoothly already!

Testing of the standard install has gone well and everything thing seems to be working as it should, see the first few posts for more info and please reply if you have any issues!
I will be moving house Saturday but shall be working on the LinuxonAndroid ROM and have also started work on the native linux, which will start of as Ubuntu but might like at other distros to

I downloaded the Backtrack distribution (v10) and put it on my external SD card (changed launch settings to match path), but when I launch it, my tablet reboots either instantly or when trying to create the Unix password. USB Debugging is enabled and terminal has permanent root access. I'm about to download the Ubuntu image and try that as well. Is backtrack supported yet?

Ahh didn't take that into account, sorry. Working great now! Thank you!

Another small update.
So I have pretty much got the frame buffer working. Which means no more vnc to access the GUI!
The touch screen is a little wacked but should be able to fix this to but for now you would need to hook up a mouse to make it use able.
Sadly I am rather busy this weekend BUT I do hope to have a IMG for you to all test very soon!
Then we are one step closer to actually using our tablets to there full power

Depends on the attack. It is mostly terminal based, but the utilities have a nice "UI". There are a couple apps that actually have a native Android UI.
Oh, some apps I recommend downloading: dSploit and Network Spoofer. They have some nice native android UIs!

Cool sounds great! I've done penetration tests on Ubuntu setup.. But I think it will be really cool to do this with my Nexus soon! Thanks again, I will return with some feedback after I get my last hardware peripheral to complete the setup.

I have gone over my Dropbox bandwidth limit, so I cannot host the files! If anybody knows of a file sharing service that allows direct links, let me know!!
I seem to have found a solution to my hosting issues! I shall push the updated script soon!

I was going to mention Google drive? Please do post your update.. I'm still waiting on the USB otg with the ability to power the WiFi adapter to get this project running. I just wish there was a simpler way, like just flashing it like a regular custom ROM and kernel.

There is someone who offered to host the files with a couple TB of bandwidth, so I'm looking into that... If not, I have a backup plan! The backup plan isn't very high speed unfortunately.
EDIT: I have been having issues with Google Drive's direct downloads. I'm not sure if curl doesn't like them or what...
EDIT 2: I am looking into making it into just one big flashable zip. I have a computer that I can have automatically build and update zips, but I need to learn how to combine zips in a script and stuff first...

So this would mean you could flash it like a custom ROM with no need of using a Linux PC? If so, that would be freaking awesome! ?
Maybe one of the devs could help you out?

Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

am i wrong. it will install multiboot then installs kali and the previous rom ?

I'm not sure.. That is why I would love to see this as a normal ROM to flash inside multirom so I can convert to F2FS as well and just boot into it when I want to use it, yet still use my daily driver.. Although, if this ROM runs fairly smooth and I can use mkernel on it I would just consider it as my daily driver.. I'm still waiting for my OTG USB with power to give this a shot.. It should be here in a few days.

[QPAIR/LOA] - LinuxonAndroid GPad support

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).

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.

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!

[MultiROM] Debian for the Moto G

After a lot of work, I've been able to create a functioning MultiROM installer for a GNU/Linux distribution. Currently most things, such as WiFi, bluetooth, the display or the GSM modem, don't work. The only way to interface with the ROM while it's running is by connecting the phone to a computer, and then using ssh. My goal is getting all the phone-specific things working (WiFi first), and making GNU/Linux a viable primary OS for the Moto G.
Why GNU/Linux, when Android is already Linux-based?​
While it is true that what is possible with GNU/Linux is also possible with Android with a little bit of work, I don't like that Android is, at heart, an embedded system. This has some negative implications for hackers (not crackers) that would like to use it as a normal UNIX. For example, the whole system is treated as one big blob and many things can't be changed without recompiling., which is why there are so many ROMs available, and why they are not compatible between devices.
Guide​
Install the debian.mrom file as a normal MultiROM ROM via TWRP and select the ROM at bootup. Connect a USB cable from your computer to the phone. After around a minute, a new interface should appear on your computer (usb0 for most Linux distros, enp* for those using udev's "persistent" naming). Set its IP address to 10.0.10.1/24. Optionally, you can also set up internet access on that interface. The phone's IP address is 10.0.10.2. You can also use my script to setup the network (setup_net.sh) after changing wlp2s0 to your computer's internet-facing interface. You can then connect to the phone via SSH or a netcat shell on port 2323. The root password is root.
What I've learned about WiFi​
The WiFi setup procedure is complicated. First, the wcnss compound driver needs to be activated. Android does this by running wcnss_service, whose modified version (I basically just altered the paths and replaced Android logging with printf) I've included in the ROM (/sbin/wcnss_service). Wcnss_service does many things, but the only important one (AFAIK) is open()ing /dev/wcnss_wlan. After activating wcnss, the WiFi driver needs to be activated. Recent versions of Cyanogenmod have the driver built-in and activate it via WifiHAL (I have no idea how...), I've decided to instead build the driver as a kernel module (/wlan.ko). Insmoding the LKM does something, but the initialization fails, and I don't know why.

If I understand is a complete pc system , not a touch optimize system.Very useful for numerical computation, testing or something of similar.
The Ubuntu touch forum is this http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/ubuntu-touch-utopic-ubuntu-touch-falcon-t2820359
I don't now if it is working on MultiRom.
(Sorry for my bad english)

good job D:
i've tried debian into android with the normal installer but this is awesome!

It is for Multirom, which is a program for dual booting an OS on an Android phone. Try searching.

Is it using a LXC Container ?
Where could I find kernel sources ?

No, I'm just starting Debian instead of Android with my custom init script.

I'm using the Optimus kernel with a few options changed (the config).

Kernel changes are just about internet stuff isn't it ?

I've only enabled sockets for all users and devtmpfs (for initramfs).

Alright, thank you.
PS : Btw, do not forget to mention @Flashhhh for the kernel in the OP

The display work? The touch? A is for computer in a smartphone? Wow

Can anyone catch up to see how it looks ?

Nothing but USB works as of now, but I'm currently working on the display.

After a lot of work, I've been able to create a functioning MultiROM installer for a GNU/Linux distribution. Currently most things, such as WiFi, bluetooth, the display or the GSM modem, don't work. The only way to interface with the ROM while it's running is by connecting the phone to a computer, and then using ssh. My goal is getting all the phone-specific things working (WiFi first), and making GNU/Linux a viable primary OS for the Moto G.
Why GNU/Linux, when Android is already Linux-based?​
While it is true that what is possible with GNU/Linux is also possible with Android with a little bit of work, I don't like that Android is, at heart, an embedded system. This has some negative implications for hackers (not crackers) that would like to use it as a normal UNIX. For example, the whole system is treated as one big blob and many things can't be changed without recompiling., which is why there are so many ROMs available, and why they are not compatible between devices.
Guide​
Install the debian.mrom file as a normal MultiROM ROM via TWRP and select the ROM at bootup. Connect a USB cable from your computer to the phone. After around a minute, a new interface should appear on your computer (usb0 for most Linux distros, enp* for those using udev's "persistent" naming). Set its IP address to 10.0.10.1/24. Optionally, you can also set up internet access on that interface. The phone's IP address is 10.0.10.2. You can also use my script to setup the network (setup_net.sh) after changing wlp2s0 to your computer's internet-facing interface. You can then connect to the phone via SSH or a netcat shell on port 2323. The root password is root.
What I've learned about WiFi​
The WiFi setup procedure is complicated. First, the wcnss compound driver needs to be activated. Android does this by running wcnss_service, whose modified version (I basically just altered the paths and replaced Android logging with printf) I've included in the ROM (/sbin/wcnss_service). Wcnss_service does many things, but the only important one (AFAIK) is open()ing /dev/wcnss_wlan. After activating wcnss, the WiFi driver needs to be activated. Recent versions of Cyanogenmod have the driver built-in and activate it via WifiHAL (I have no idea how...), I've decided to instead build the driver as a kernel module (/wlan.ko). Insmoding the LKM does something, but the initialization fails, and I don't know why.

Sorry for the late reply.
I have made sure that the firmware gets loaded properly, though that was a problem at first. I'm not so sure about the MAC address, though. If you get any further information, please post it in this thread. Development is currently its only purpose.

Something new??
