i'm trying to find any information about subject?
I guess it's possible to compile a linux-kernel for similar device.
Thank's for any information.
Check out this page in the Wiki section of this site:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Xanadux
Once you have installed it though, do any apps actually support linux?
I think its more of a "I can do this look!" thing than one that offers any practical benefit.

Well, it's pretty cool to get access to shell and programming languages like a Perl, C. And helpful to controll my Unix servers&services.

which of them is mine? i guess it should be named like a Prophet? but there's no such section.
PS: beg pardon, i'm newbie in that subject. i use my device only about one week
I dont think a newbie should be installing linux on their device. You will find you can run linux programs but not actual pocket pc apps. It really is only for the hardcore linux zeolots.

There's a nice little project for you...build a Xanadux (Linux) kernel for the Prophet....

hm, interesting ... is there windows binary emulation on linux? like a Wine or something?
It is possible... The Prophet's hardware is similar to the Wizard's. So you can boot the Kernel of the Linwizard-Project and, if you are a programmer, help the project ;-).

It will be possible to port the dynamic linker/loader from wine to wince,
and write a replacement coredll.dll from win32 finctions implemented in wine.
Since wince is implemented in a much cleaner way than usual windows,
running wine on linux-arm is easier than on linux-x86.

Jarr. Maybe some people want to run an inherently insecure, memory leaking and royalty money squeezing environment on their computer ? I don't.

I know we have successfully been able to install debian on our phones, has anyone tried to install hasty (basically a build of Ubuntu 8.04 'Hardy Heron')? Although ubuntu is releasing an ARM version for ARMv7 processors in April 2009, our G1's would be left out because it is ARMv6.
However, there's a version of hasty compatible with our ARM 11 Family (ARMv6) (http://www.arm.com/products/CPUs/families/ARM11Family.html) processor, found here:
http://mojo.handhelds.org/hasty-armv6el-vfp
I wouldn't even know where to begin with installing this, so if someone could enlighten us on how to do so, it would be greatly appreciated.
why?
ubuntu is just debian with some user friendly tweaks, but none of those would apply to a cellphone. so it would basically be exactly the same as debian.

We've gone as far as installing debian, why not ubuntu? Personally I would like to see if any of those tweaks would work on my G1. I understand there are similarities, and that ubuntu is based off of debian, but it wouldn't hurt to install it as opposed to debian would it?

I would like to install ubuntu too.
Why not just use http://www.ubuntu.com/products/mobile, when it decomes workable? Or wait for vmware mobile edition.

It's not being planned for ARMv6 (which the G1 has), only ARMv7
So has anyone given hasty a try yet? =]
Hi,
I'm new here and have been looking at some tutorials on rom kitchens and rom ediing for my HTC Wildfire. I was jst wondering how to port, say, the android 2.3 rom or something from the android SDK and use it on my phone. I'd also like to know how easy/hard it is.
Thanks,
sato

Do you know anything about programming? Do you know anything about Linux? Do you have any driver building experience?
I f you answer no to anyone of these, I would say it's extremely hard.
Thanks. I don't really know much about any of those things (Except a tiny bit about linux) oh well...

hey why give up so easily? if you really wanted to learn there are so many threads to get you started. first get a linux distro, ubuntu recommended for most people.
there's dsixia's kitchen around somewhere. play with that a little. read the script's he uses in that kitchen. you'll learn a bit.
then onto building. cyanogen's wiki shows how to build from source and set up your machine to sync with it etc etc. get those sorted and try learn the above mentioned
Cool!
Are there any links to these (Or are we not allowed to post them?)
Does it have to be a linux distro? Can I use OSX?
Hacking is cool, but the problem is that it is very hard, and demands a lot of experience.

This is where i started... hope it helps
Sorry about bringing back this old thread, but I'm also interested in this. I have programming experience with C, C++, C# and Java. I've also developed apps for Android. I've been using Ubuntu as my main operating system for a while now, so I'm good with Linux too. The only thing I lack is the driver programming experience. I'd still like some info/tutorials about porting ROMs, if anyone knows any good ones.
hey i been wondering the same thing. i been trying to play with m10 tools and been skining apk files with apkmanager for the last bit but have been wanting to port the ics sense 3.5 well at the very least re size it but cant find any guides, full guides to do this. anything pointing in the right direction would be great just dont say search xda been there done that. google works better.... but still doesnt give much info on porting besides some basic files to change but leaves out how to re size

Can't mess with 3.5 yet as they new files can't be decoded properly. For resizing you have to edit all the demention xmls on all the apks and m10 files. Lots of trial and error. Make sure you good with logcat
maybe this can help a little

by deleting the map where all the files are or, if you hae installed it using a setup,
use the uninstaller program.
So I have an old account on here, but I never used it for what it is intended to be. And quite honestly, I didn't like the account name. But what I'm really asking for here is help. I want to be a developer, but I dont know where to start. I want to learn how to make and/or port roms, how to theme other roms, and even make my own apps. If anybody would care to help a noob out, I would appreciate it greatly. Thank you in advance for your time, and any help that I recieve.
I would suggest learning java language which the source code is wrote in if you want to be a developer. But if you want the easy root look for the guides on cooking roms using kitchens then you can create roms with little programming knowledge.

Thanks for the tip on java language. And I know about the kitchens and such, its just that I don't have a mac or a linux based computer, and from what i read, you have to have one of those for a kitchen to work.
ubuntu is always free for download from their website (you can run it from a flash drive or dual boot it alongside windows)
ubuntu will install within the windows file system also and let you dual boot. might be a bit of a learning curve but its by far the best os to use when just getting started and even for more advanced usage..
once you are done with ubuntu as long as you installed it using the wubi installer you can remove it from add remove program etc...
First step on the journy to becoming a developer would be the most important one:
Learning to use search functions.
Your question has already been covered multiple times in this subforum.

I did not know that, so thank you guys for all your help.
:what::what::what::what: my question is next. You can install any Linux SO in any device as unique system?
Maybee
You can't. Phones have different arhitecture and in most caces not powerful enough to handle an entire Linux OS. :sad:

Hi everybody!
I am new in this community and I am sorry if a post this thread in the wrong forum.
I want to start making a AOSP or a "custom ROM" for Android, I have some experience with "Linux from scracth" and linux in general, but I think that I still beeing a newbie in OS development.
I really love OS develoment and thats why I want to try with Android. (I know that is very hard, but I am making this for experience)
The AOSP requirements says that I new a Android device and its kernel source. (I am new and I can not post links)
I want to know, if there is any way to make a AOSP or custom ROM in a virtual machine? maybe using google pixel or nexus code?
I have an Android device but I am a complete newbie and I dont want try on real hardware yet.
Thanks for any help!

Greetings and welcome to assist. Plenty of devs use a virtual machine to build or even dual boot linux. There are plenty of prebuilt virtual machines at osbox and there are plenty of excellent guides to building in xda university

Good Luck and welcome to xda

I have no problem to install Linux on real hardware, actually I have Arch Linux installed on real hardware and I used as my main OS.
What I want to know is, can I put AOSP or a Custom Android in a Virtual Machine? I mean, modify some code in a custom android and tested in a Virtual Machine?
Thanks for your time and help!

You mean you want to run a custom rom on a virtual machine on your pc ? I think android studio can do something along these lines

I mean that I want to modify Android OS to add functions, optimize, maybe modify the UI of the system, learn how Android is programed and that kind of things. I want to modify Android Source Code but I want to tested that code on a Virtual Machine on my PC.
Where can I get Android Source Code or any Custom ROM to start working on it?

Here is the link for android studio
https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html#features
For source code you can use cm/aosp or anything opensource. Resurrection remix is quite easy to set up as they have a lot of pre built scripts to help you set everything up
