Hi,
I'm looking for some info to install a full Linux distribution on my G1.
I saw we can install Debian but currently it doesn't seem to work with Haykuro builds right?
Also, I'm wondering if everything works as expected with Linux (touchscreen, wifi, BT, GPS...)
Is there any resources on the net or a step by step tutorial over there?
Thanks
Thibaud

hey, im a mac user too....the instructions for cmd/terminal/shell work on mac...just follow the same instructions and PM me if you need help...
Android development in general should (currently) work even better for OSX and Linux than for Windows.
More important than what operating system you're running is the ability to read the stickies and understand what they're saying.

i completely agree... well put jashsu... but mac seems to be most compatible out of the box...lol...
Theoretically Ubuntu 8.04 should be the absolute most compatible for Android development currently, as that is what Google references in the sdk docs. Mac should be very similar, as it's partially built on BSD. Any experience with unix shells would give one a big jumpstart with Android hacking. However a lot of Mac users (Windows users too) have never touched the command line before. Which is a shame...

You should be okay using Ubuntu 9.10. I currently have that installed, but haven't done anything yet with it. Although, I actually plan on switching to Fedora 12 -- since I'm more familiar with the Red Hat distro's.
If you need help getting started, you should look into these tutorials below, provided and documented by Gbhil from Android Central.
How to create custom Icons:
http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-hero-roms-hacks/6070-changing-hero-application-icons.html
ROM FAQ/How to Build ROMS:
http://forum.androidcentral.com/hacking/6037-general-rom-faq.html
How to setup Ubuntu for the Android SDK:
http://forum.androidcentral.com/hac...ramming-envrionment-using-ubuntu-windows.html
OR here:
http://www.futuredesktop.org/developing_android_apps_on_ubuntu.html
Gbhil does an excellent job explaining how things work and how to begin your journey with Android development, hope that helps.
I've used the links above to begin making a custom icon pack, and hopefully soon enough another AOSP ROM.
I use Ubuntu 9.10 for everything I do. Make sure you're root user in that by doing these commands in the terminal:
Code:
sudo passwd
*your root password here*
*repeat root password*
Then, log out of that user, and click "other" to log in. Type root for username, and the password you set with sudo passwd for password. Note, Ubuntu 9.10 is also referred to as Ubuntu Karmic or Karmic Koala, so those are the same as 9.10.
Thankx But could you help with more?
When i try to install the Sun's Java Runtime Engine (JRE) and Java Development Kit (JDK) thier both .bin files + i dont understand on how to make them work.

All the links I gave you will give you the information to get started. Again, follow this think, it even says what its going to help you install:
We are now going to install these programs
• The Ubuntu Linux Desktop.
• Sun's Java Runtime (JRE) and Development Kit (JDK).
Java Runtime is only needed to run the Eclipse IDE. Android has its own optimized Java VM (Dalvik).
• The Eclipse IDE.
• The Android Software Developer's Kit (SDK).
• The Android Developer Tool (ADT), a special Eclipse plugin.
http://www.futuredesktop.org/developing_android_apps_on_ubuntu.html
If you want to test if Java works -- you can run the commands java --version, which java and echo $JAVA_HOME (which java and echo $JAVA_HOME should correctly state where you chose to set your environment variables when you run them). Otherwise you could open a text editor (I use VIM) and write the universal "hello world" in Java and test Java that way to make sure the program runs.
Lastly, everyone here is more than willing to help you -- but try to search for the information via Google, here on XDA, or other Android forums yourself first -- you'd be surprised that they probably already have your answer.

I don't think Ubuntu 9.10 is bad -- but I've always worked with Red Hat/CentOS and at work we use RHEL servers, so Fedora is an easy switch for me.
Maybe I'm misinterpreting what I've read, but my understanding is that Android "O/S's" are a VM (via Dalvik?) that runs within a pared down linux O/S. Assuming that's not too far off, is it possible to add packages or programs to that Linux O/S? Could I, for example, add regular old Wireshark to it? Obviously the programs would have to be compiled for the correct cpu platform.
Thanks.
The kernel is Linux one... As for your question, provided you have rooted your phone, you can create a chroot there and run Linux apps on your phone.
A howto for Debian here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=996746
Hi,
I am running a rooted stock JB. I have a Debian (tried also Ubuntu) in a chroot environment running, and I am using a vncserver to run X applications. Some things like lxde and gedit are running fine. Others, in particular all KDE applications (but also others) are not running at all or look completely chaotic (most GUI elements missing, black and/or in the wrong place) and are unusable. I tried some time ago the same thing on my phone (HTC Desire Z with CyanogenMod - unfortunately recently bricked so I cannot try anything anymore), there everything ran just fine (despite very slow).
Is this maybe due to missing features in the kernel of the stock firmware? Are there any ticks to get around these limitations without flashing another ROM? (I would rather not void my warrenty...)
Thanks for any insight,
Martin
No ideas? Is anyone running some Linux in chroot on the original firmware?

I run Ubuntu in chroot everyday but I've never messed with vnc.
Sent from whatever device I happened to pick up.
My guess is that the number of people using Ubuntu on the tf700 is quite small, so you might not be able to get the answer to your question here. However, there is a support thread for Ubuntu on the tf700, you might want to ask your question there:

Hi . it will be appreciated if somebody offer me a step by step tutorial about installing Ubuntu Mobile onto HTC ONE S , please .
i found some instruction that says only nexus devices are allowed to install OS .
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Install
but in this [URL="http://blog.en.uptodown.com/how-to-install-ubuntu-on-your-tablet-or-smartphone/"]link [/URL]they said that :
"Ubuntu Touch supports audio, video, and connection hardware on your device, and runs its Linux kernel from a very basic version of CyanogenMod 10.1 from which elements that aren’t necessary on Canonical’s system have been removed, such as Dalvik, the process virtual machine that runs apps on your Android device.All you need to do is customize a ROM for your device by following the instructions on the Ubuntu Wiki"

i've confused can anybody confirm this that i can't install ubuntu onto my HTC ?
There are some people working on it, but I haven't heard of any successes yet.
