[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

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

added a new Script and deleted the old one.Please use that now.I tested it personally on Stock and it is working perfectly.
As soon as it boots it asks if you wanna start VNC server?Press N and then follow the readme file.
Incase of any probs please let me know

GO ahead:Try Ubuntu...it will give you a better Idea.

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..

[MOD] MultiROM (sharing kernel)

I found the bug with not isolating kernel in additional roms after posting multirom here. Unfortunately I havent solved it yet. I decided to not delele this project because the rest of this works. This is useful who want to have similar rom in on tab. For example to test apps. Sorry for inconvience.
this is beta release. for p900 only.
I'll write full instruction later. For full description see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2011403
I'm not sure that everything is stable, so I dont publish source code. I dont want to distribute buggy sources. thanks for understanding.
for stock firmware only. for now. use stock frimware as primary. you can flash cm as additional.
Installation:
1. https://yadi.sk/d/RVXpEgc6c4GKo - this is modded recovery. flash via odin
2. https://yadi.sk/d/CHl8wTYYc4GMZ - patched kernel. (patched my 1.3 pro kernel)
https://yadi.sk/d/D2riVhEgc4GPP - multirom main program
flash through modded recovery patched kernel and multirom.
uninstallation:
https://yadi.sk/d/jc4uxZeCc4GRb - flash this uninstaller through recovery, then flash original twrp
known issues:
- 1920x1200 resolution in twrp
- in List Roms installed roms dont shown
- in multirom boot menu touchscreen downt work. use buttons (vol-,vol+,power)
multirom apk from play store doesnt support this release.

I saw earlier that you had plans for this, but I didn't expect it to happen this quickly.
Anyway, great initiative.

WOW
@bonuzzz,
nice to see you here. Actually I bought this high end class tablet because of its specifations and over standarts. Still is the most powerful tablet in market.. But somehow it always lacked development and support of developers. Recently maybe the price is dropped so it started make owners smile little bit.
I was almost giong to change it, but still there is no powerful alternate..
I would like to be a tester of multiboot. because I would love to see ubuntu desktop in this tablet.
Thank you!

I was still hoping to get the minor issues resolved, notably the issue with Rom's installer are not shown in the installed ROM's section.

Any possibility of porting this to Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014)? The hardware is almost exactly identical. Really like your work, keep it up!

I dont have any plans to port to other devices. It doesnt fully working and I dont have any progress with it...

Do you mean the first (pre multirom install ) flashed rom kernal is the only kernal that boots regardless of the chosen rom, is multirom a separate bootloder that is chainloaded by the original bootloader? Does multirom have a config file describing the various kernals with different filenames if so can it be manually edited? Does multirom mount emulated system partition images or are their actual multiple prexisting system partions in the mbr that multirom can choose from ? What would quilify as similar roms, stock and omni are they similar enouph ?

I dont recommend to use this multirom because it has the bug with sharing kernel. So you need to use similar roms as primary and as additional. I dont have an idea how to solve it at this moment.

Deodexed rom meaning you have a zenfone 2 stock deodexded rom? Do you have a link to it or the rom is private?

You should add screenshots.. :good:

thanks for drivers

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.

[DEV][G925F] CyanogenMod 12.1 Development

Hello there, it's time to get this rolling somewhere.
This is a Development-Thread. Please don't post if you aren't a developer.
What this IS
This is a Development thread, a platform for developers to discuss the development of CyanogenMod for the G925F. It's made so that we can get this working, fix up the problems - because there will be severe ones - and achieve a working official Rom at some point.
At the moment it's @OldDroid and me with help, but it would be awesome if interested devs would join in so that we can make this a team effort.
In short, it's a Dev-Thread in a dev section.
Right now it doesn't work and I'm not sure that it will work.
What this IS NOT
This is NOT a working Rom. Not even close. I can only link you to the kernel repo and soon to device and vendor, as they are almost completed for a first try.
And yes, there is no download link for the Rom. Because there isn't anything you could download yet.
This is also NOT intended as a Q&A thread. Please don't ask if your variant will be supported, I will respond by trolling. Firstand only priority is to get this running, then we'll talk about variants.
And ETA is an evil word with no meaning here. I work slowly, deal with it
Where are we currently?
Much further than a day ago
Thanks to @OldDroid, we've teamed up

It's apparently not without some minor casualties, but we got it. Huge thanks to @RaymanFX, he's helping me, since I'm not that much into CM building yet and I'm also basing this project on his CM for the N910C, which's 5433 is darn similar to our 7420, so we got a pretty good base to begin with.

I think that there was a mistake in the partition sizes.. /system was declared as 4.1GB, but it's only 3.6GB. Recompiling with a new value, should be able to flash it then

Good luck develop without documentation for exynos chipset.
But can you tell us more in details how porting works and what are the challenges with it.
Is it hard to develop a rom without samsung binary files and drivers? I know they are proprietary and closed soruce.
If just Samsung could be more developer friendly like Sony.
We can request source for closed binaries here, http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=inquiryView, most likely they wont answer

The lack of drivers makes this a fun exercise almost Where's be the challenge if everything was easy...?

Good luck develop without documentation for exynos chipset.
But can you tell us more in details how porting works and what are the challenges with it.
Is it hard to develop a rom without samsung binary files and drivers? I know they are proprietary and closed soruce.
If just Samsung could be more developer friendly like Sony.
We can request source for closed binaries here, http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=inquiryView, most likely they wont answer

I can't say what the challenges here will be, since I couldn't manage to even flash it yet - Second build is compiling since hours now. For now it's using all the proprietrary stuff we managed to grab and some additional stuff from the 5433 CM. But without booting it's hard to tell what won't work and might present a challenge ^^ From what I saw it'll be tough to just get the modem running. The hard part is to write the drivers yourself

It's interesting that you can use drivers from 5433, which is a 32bit platform. Most drivers are not compatible when you switch from 32bit to 64bit if I am right?

As a base to know how to do it, obviously we can't just use drivers for a different chipset

Updated the /system size in the BoardConfig and at least it flashes. But it doesn't want to boot for some reason yet.

If you have the 5.1.1 boot loader and are using 5.0.2 as a base. Sboot will not boot it. As a fyi. It checks Linux versions.

Both is 5.1.1 and Sboot seems to clear the boot as well, everything seems to go fine, it just doesn't boot. :/ Trying with building the kernel during the build itself instead of using a prebuilt one and see how that goes

I would personally flash an Engineering boot loader while doing this, to ensure version checking is not the issue.

Xposed for the x86-64 architecture?

Are there any plans for an x86-64 Xposed?
For the 64 bit Android-x86 and 64-bit Remix OS.

I could try to compile it, but I don't have a device for testing...

I'm willing to test it on Remix OS on my desktop.
Although as a warning, I barely have any time lately, so results could arrive after some time.
There is also Android-x86, which I'm sure that someone could use for testing.
About Remix OS, I'm sure you know, but it's API22.
Android-x86, again I'm sure that you already know, has both API22 and 23 (6.0.1RC).
Pheonix OS is also API22.

I haven't seen or heard anything on 32-bit remix os running xposed x86. I do have xposed in systemless running and working on 64-bit kernel/ 32-bit userspace build of android-x86 6.0.1 rc1. i can't run 32-bit remix os or 32- bit android-x86 5.1 rc1

from 2015 9 month，I try xposed system mode for x86 on Android x86 5.1.1 rbg build，but it will bootloops，now，all android x86 5.1 if use xposed all will bootloops，so ，need 32bits 6.0.1 remix os and 6.0.1 Phoenix os.
from 2016 1 month，I try xposed system mode on 6.0.1 rbg build and cm13 x86，will not bootloops，and need deodex will wore nice . from 2016 5 month Android x86 6.0.1 r43 or cm13 r43 begin，it need not deodex
now，I use system less xposed and system less supersu on 64Kernel 32Userspace cm13 or aosp 6.0.1

Thanks

I have a copy of Android-x86_64, 6.0-RC1 for just such things, and would be happy to test Xposed builds for x86_64, as I have been needing a way to run it on this architecture as well.

I would appreciate this, I could really use xposed on my remix 2 OS

I bet you've laptop or PC just install/bootup remix os or android x86 vanilla build on it.

Perhaps he doesn't have the time to boot up Remix OS or Android-x86?
After all, he needs that computer for the coding itself, and it takes too much time and energy to keep rebooting your computer every few seconds.

It can be booted from a usb stick. I think it was just a suggestion. Hopefully something can be done to get this working.

No pressure, I already knew what you meant.
The best way to start, is with one of those small x86-64 chinese tablets.
That way, you can also connect it to you PC via USB, that way you also have easy access to logcat.

Any developments here?
Has there been any news as to whether or not rovo89 has/will be compiling or distributing testing versions of Xposed for x86_64? Will be moving from Androidx86_64 to RemixOSx86_64 and am still very much willing to test said builds.

@rovo89 needs a device. Until then I don't think anything will happen.

Does Android-X86 on a laptop not foot the bill?

It was mentioned previously in this thread. I'm guessing that rovo89 has no interest in doing it that way.

Ah, okay.
And I think that I may have been the one to mention it earlier in the thread.

I am also willing to test it. Before I realized, Iflashed x86 packages on my tablet, but I am always able to recover by flashing back the system or the boot image.
Please give us hope!

@tripper22 I think the point behind this post was not that @rovo89 needs a device, but that he needs testers for said build. Seeing as he said that he could try to compile it, and that testing it is what he would have trouble doing. With this in mind given the number of people on this thread who have said they're willing to test the x86_64 builds if provided to them I honestly don't see how not having an x86_64 device himself would be an obstacle, at least not a major one which could not be overcome fairly easily.

Well, if you are right. I would be happy to be a tester! :fingers-crossed:
