Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
.i will share my personal project with u, an operating system created with fun in mind .
.Note, that MdMxOS is only a customized and bit modified version of manjaro linux.
The link of my personal project: "MdMxOS a manjaro linux based distribution by Miordmiro for You."
MdMxOS
Download MdMxOS for free. Operating system for everyday usage. MdMxOS is an operating system that tries to outperform slow behavior on computers and are useable for everyday tasks.

now to MdMxOS:
- ZRAM
- custom branch selection in terminal ---> since version 6.0
"sudo mdmxos-upgrade-stable" -for stable branch and upgrade = default
"sudo mdmxos-upgrade-balanced" -for testing branch and upgrade
"sudo mdmxos-upgrade-unstable" -for unstable branch and upgrade
- custom themes because why not
- access to the chaotic repo
- ability to run on low hardware specs it can be used on requirements like 9.9 GiB storage space and 2.0 GiB ram
- based on manjaro linux and access to their repo
- plymouth boot animation
target people:
- more advanced users or just for peoples who likes to learn more about an arch based linux distribution
- if u want the manjaro stable packages but with the ability in mind that u can change it with mdmxos-upgrade for more newer packages

today i will share my personal project with u, an operating system created with fun in mind
before i used MdMxOS i used Garuda Linux and made first wallpaper for desktop usage.
Now i created this and thought about it to share it with the worldwide community, its like about the opensource thing .

BTW, where is the link to your "open source" code?
I think also somewhere on gitlab, it's easier to fork.
Garuda Linux does not hide it.
For those who want to look at the original.
Garuda Linux, it's fast, it's fine, it's foss.

sry i missunderstood, hiding is the perfect word for that but u can unsquash the iso file and look at ur own, at the moment iam at the beginning and make many changes, i have no plan to share this like garuda linux or manjaro linux does. Btw Garuda Linux is awesome and Manjaro too and Arch Linux too i love them all. i also dont provide a support page or something like that, its on the arch user to handle my creation or misscreation as well. Thank you for reading this.
Arch Linux, the best way.

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.

[Q] Installing Linux on Android

I have installed Ubuntu on my android phone by following the nexusonehacks.net guide. All is working well. The reason I am creating this thread is because in nexusonehacks.net guide he mentions that he got his ubuntu.img from some guys at the xda forums.
I am wanting to get an ARM img of mint linux (LXDE version) and while I have spent countless hours trying to figure out how to install mint linux with an ARM emulator it appears to be above my linux knowledge.
I know that mint linux is based on ubuntu and should have the latest linux kernel and therefor has ARM support built in already, so that is not a problem, no need to compile a kernel with support for ARM.
Basically I am just looking for someone who is running an ARM emulator or has an ARM based laptop to install mint linux (LXDE version) and do a disk dump of the HDD into an image file I can then use to replace the ubuntu.img file I am currently using on my phone.
If this would be a simple task for someone to do and upload the image, I would be most appreciative.
It would be best if I could have the dev who provided the original ubuntu.img file to nexusonehacks.net do the dd of mint linux as I am sure he knows all of the details of how to do a proper dd for use on an android phone. If anyone can point me in the direction of that particular dev, that would be great, thanks!
Buddy of mine was working on gentoo for his N900, which is an ARM proc. Ubuntu has an emulator for that, he said that it seems only ubuntu does, but you run a virtual machine with an ARM emulator. Thing is that I'm not sure if a standard ARM emulator would work too well, the chip on the N1 has some extra stuff on it apparently
It sounds to me complicated because Linux Mint is not distributed for ARM...
Take Debian
I know I did not helped, I just gived my advice on how to get Linux on Android phones: get debian which is available for tons of architectures, including ARM, natively.
Well, it doesn't really work that way. If the distribution doesn't have their packages built for ARM then it's not going to work. Yes the kernel supports ARM but it still has to be built specifically for the processor it's going to run on. That goes for most other software packages too.
Getting debian and LXDE running on the N1 is pretty easy to do. There is a guide buried a few pages down in this forum. Also, I'm hoping to release a script to help automate much of the install soon.

Port Ubuntu Touch

Hi guys,
If you're, like me, greatly excited to get Ubuntu Touch onto your phone, and/or tablet, here is a guide to port it!
It helps you get started on a port:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Porting
Also:
This is not a thread for eta:s for your device port. Nor is it a thread to ask for a port. Both of which you'll have to go to each device's own forum.
This is a thread for discuss ports, get help on them and to share experiences.
For Ubuntu Touch specific questions, see other threads.
FAQ:
Can you port device X?; Ask in your device X's forum. Or even better, try it yourself! It's not that hard, actually. See link above.
Does Ubuntu Touch run Android Apps?; No.
Will it?; Maybe. If anyone cares to actually make it work.
Do I need to have X; run Y; or do Z?; Check the Port guide! https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Porting

Everyone with a nexus needs to install Ubuntu and then show everyone they know how in it's current state it is unusable except as a test device for apps.

Well, it is a dev release for developers and Ubuntu enthusiasts, so they probably already run Ubuntu. And if not, it's a 20 min install.
And porting it is still a large project by itself, so it'll go nicely hand in hand until the stable release of Touch, I think.

Because some of the Android components are reused. Read here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Porting#General
Ubuntu is a distro. Linux is an OS. Android is kind of a distro too.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Actually pending when canonical gets to compile drivers for particular phones which incidentally is probably going to be for only their oem devices, they use the cm base.
Essentially just the drivers and hal layer.
Its not based on CM. It takes advantage of CM base. Its direct ubuntu.
And from what iv seen you can forget about lag. The alpha is awesome compared with android alphas

yes i have read this but my english isnt perfect so i maybe didnt understant something.so because ubuntu and android are based in Linux kernel,they taking some stuff "ready" for more easyness.something like that?
Phones need drivers like your PC does and a kernel which acts as interaface between the hardware and the operating system.
Everyphone uses its own vendor supplied kernel with some modifaction and their own graphics driver. So they use the low-level stuff that already exists for Ubuntu.
You can't just make one "OS" for a smartphone that just works on all devices it has to be ported to the specific hardware (kernel and driver).

thats what i mean.so they took the allready existing stuff from cm10.1 because it will work with ubuntu (or with some small changes) because both OS are based on Linux kernel.i understand right?

Wikipedia says Linux is an unix like OS, but the main component is the Linux Kernel. Android only uses the Linux Kernel and not so much the GNU system tools which make it unix like, that is why people generally don't refer to android as a Linux distro.

You didn't say android was a Linux distro but he did, I was just adding to the conversation.
I think I may understand what you're thinking though. Mac and Windows are not open source and you cant build your own version, so they are not as comparable in that sense, they are binary distributions. But you can build your own Linux configured the way you want outside of any distro, a distro is just a packaged version of Linux with additional packages and configurations.
Had angie tried to pull the source code? It's ridiculously slow on my end. About 15gb at 9 to 152kbs... I guess every dev in the world is trying to pull it...Lol...too bad there's no way to speed it up

Actually, Linux is a clone of the UNIX kernel. Ubuntu is an operating system (or Linux distribution) with a Linux kernel. Android could be considered a Linux distribution as well, even though it's mostly Java stacks on top of a Linux kernel.

What is needed to be an android developer?

What is needed to be an android developer? What things I have to learn to develop apps and make custom roms or kernels?
It isnt that easy. Just an app that is slightly complex can take 3-4 months if you have 0 knowledge before you start

Thanks for the reply. I am going to learn C, C++, VB.NET, Linux and Java. After an year and three months my course will complete. I want to know, what is needed more to learn. Please tell.
C language is the base for kernel development.. ROM is not difficult to make/develop/mod.. but Kernel is.. good luck friend

Visual Basic .NET is not required for android developing. VB (.NET) was created by Microsoft and is supposed to run and supported only on Windows. (can be emulated on linux though..)
Linux: you need to specify what you want to learn about linux. How to access the terminal, know the different shells (sh, bash, zsh, ..) and how to use them (executing commands, creating scripts, using system variables, pipes, ...). It's also good to know the boot process and how it's working to boot into linux (kernel -> initial ramdisk --> init --> usermode).
Another thing is how to compile applications using gcc and understanding the automatic building process using Makefiles and how to configure it (using defines, ./configure) to make a build that fits your need.
Other things to learn and understand: debugfs, tmpfs, ramfs, procfs, devfs, sysfs, ramdisk structure, and much more.
Also important are the differences between linux distributions. They all have it's own way to process different operations, for example, installing and updating the distribution or apps. (debian/ubuntu -> apt-get, fedora -> yum, suse -> yast, ...)
Java: only needed if you want to develop android apps running in userspace executed by the dalvik virtual machine (=> normal apps that run on android os). Java's coding syntax is based on C's. When coding apps for android os be sure you get used with the android sdk.
C: not bad to know. You can do kernel stuff and develop apps that can be executed by the linux/android kernel directly without involving the dalvik-vm which allows you to access internal things. Custom recoverys, for example, were developed using C and the android ndk with a modified ramdisk to execute the recovery binary instead of the dalvik-vm which initializes android.
C++: not really needed, but it supports object oriented programming which makes everything better structured and understandable. The android ndk has some support for c++ header files to work with.
So.. one year isn't enough. There is so much to learn and it's really not easy.. more frustrating
Then finally you can start to work build roms for a specific device, because every device has other hardware components and different ways to do this and that. You need to know and understand them to successfully develop software that runs fine on the specific device.

Isn't VB.NET not required to make PC apps to manage phone, like some kind of phone manager or hacker or something like that?
In short I have to learn linux in core level- is that right? They told me, they are going to teach ubuntu. Don't know if they are going to teach in core level. Is there any ebook to learn Linux deeply?
Sure you can use it for developing apps for windows but it doesn't allow you to build native/winapi dynamic link libraries (dll) which can be quite useful. VB. NET also doesn't allow you to build userspace(ring3)/kernelspace(ring0) drivers which is essencial for supporting new hardware.
VB is, in my opinion, only good for building simple apps with a nice user interface. Sure it's quite easy to learn, but you do have not the possibilities like you have with C, C++ or Delphi.
And yea, the internals of linux would be a good start. But also getting used with KDE and GNOME (desktop managers) which both are useable on ubuntu. Ubuntu is also good cause google officially supports building android stuff on it.

Thanks for reply but I didn't get the first paragraph. Anyways, what is delphi?
like gordon0001 already said, when you're new to android, start with a ROM, never with a kernel it can make you go crazy
and trust me, i know what i'm talking about
so for the start, i'd suggest you to learn java, maybe experiment with some apps, and then make your own rom.
if you're used to it a bit, you might want to start messing around with kernels. therefor you need C.
but be warned, i cannot be held responsible if you go crazy
simple application, less requirement.
start with examples within the sdk

i, for one, would recommend xubuntu. no bloatware, nice UI, pure performance but it is your call for sure
and with 6GB RAM, swap should not be needed (i'm running xubuntu with 4GB RAM, and no need at all for swap )

Which Linux os is best? And which is trickiest?

I have tried various Linux distros like Debian, Ubuntu, Arch, Gentoo ,etc. but I want to test a Linux which is much hard to install and use like Gentoo.. different from Debian based or arch based distros..
Is there such a distro more difficult than Gentoo??
And also I wanna know which is the best linux distro and mostly supported..
The hardest distro is LFS (Linux from Scratch)
My favorite distro is Artix.
The most supported distro is Ubuntu, as it is the most mainstream, but I don't like it because of the Snap daemon.

Linux from Scratch isn't really a distro. It's a set of instructions to build a core Linux system.
If you try Artix, I recommend using OpenRC as the init system.

What takes time is to install a package in gentoo which is same as building the application from source code. If u know how to install arch linux then it will be easier for u to install gentoo with systemd or if u choose openrc then it is not so hard.
If gentoo provide all binary packages then its installation will take only 1hr.

Linux from Scratch isn't really a distro. It's a set of instructions to build a core Linux system.
If you try Artix, I recommend using OpenRC as the init system.

@$cronos_ u mean Lfs has no iso!
I can't stand how all these current distros are using desktop environments that slow
the whole pc down .
I really enjoy mint . basic desktop environment experience without my pc slowing down .
No eye candy , no dumb gnome environment .
Just a distro that works well .

U can get even more out of ur pc if u use window managers like Openbox, Fluxbox, etc. rather than using desktop environments like Gnome, Kde, Cinnamon (in Mint if u use this variant), etc. coz window managers use less amount of ram like upto 300mb

Ok I will try but I am changing my mind to test Lfs
The best linux is "your choice's" linux.
Just remember that most Distros are just forks of other distros with slight changes, usually in appearance/DE/Windows Managers
Is it possible to make my own distro like Debian based Mint or Arch bases Artix?

It's all open-source code. The original intent was to make an OS that any user can access the source code, make edits, save the changes and have a personalized OS that's shareable

Of course.
Be happy, my friend
My first Linux at home was Ubuntu Linux. I had a bad laptop, so I was using to make the laptop live again.
More than 1 year later, I decided to abandon Ubuntu, because it is a good door for Linux, but very bad for daily use.
So, I experienced Fedora Linux.
And I've been using Fedora so far for more than 11 years in my home desktop.
Fedora is maintained by Red Hat, a linux-based company, but it is developed by community.
So, with Fedora Linux you can experience new stuff with the proposal to be so stable enough for a company.
But at servers, all them are Debian Linux. No discussions.
