first of all, sorry. i've searched for a while for on this and can't find anything, maybe i'm not using the right key words....
if i have an android device, can i run any windows mobile apps on it, or is there any kind of emulator for the system?
i'm guessing you can't run windows apps straight off because android is linux based. but i've no experience with linux to know for sure what is compatible with it. no doubt these queries have been asked tons, but like i say, i'm not finding anything. don't waste your finger movements telling me off without any kind of assistance.
cheers
no you cant use win mob apps or emulate them on an android device sorry
thanks man
How hard would this be to build or tweak this to work on all these imported ipad clones. Most use a arm varient processor.
I am relatively new to android and linux. I would like to learn the process. What would be the best place to start understanding linux(android)?
Forgot link
gohere debian.org/ports/arm/
good linux resource sites
if you're looking for basic linux questions or help, I would check out linuxquestions.org
android, there are a couple really good sites, the wiki here is very helpful, androidcentral.com
and i'm not even talking for becoming developer, I havn't even made any apps yet, but its helpful to get a good handle on the OS.
Ubuntu linux you can download and run off the CD without installing it on your PC if you want to just poke around, there are some other distributions that do the same, but Ubuntu is a good version for someone either new to linux, or with no time for endless configurations.
hey guys
Has anybody tried putting a full OS on this device? like windows or ubuntu? is anybody willing to try? I would like to know if I get one of these if I can but ubuntu with its new unity ui on there.
I believe they need access to the kernel source code before something like this can be attempted.
I heard that is going to be released isn't it?
Thats what the word is! I'm very excited.
I'm like to be able to add some Linux utilities and functionality to the load. File check and the ability to use other file systems.
Windows is a no go. Tegra2 is an arm processor and Windows needs x86, thats why Moorestown is so interesting. In the meantime your best option is an Atom which has terrible battery life in comparison.
Ubuntu and maybe Phone7 are possible since they both have arm native versions.
I've been reading up on this subject ... I really want to try Ubuntu but I hear it has major bugs ...which on in y'all opinions do you prefer and why?

i recocmend u try a dual boot its actually really easy if u follow the instructions.
i installed ubu about 3weeks ago and i love it because u can customize it to no end and it really dosnt have that many bugs.
i installed inside of windows and did a 20gig partition so its defiantly not my daily, but its still fun to mess around with.
and if you need help with the installation feel free to pm me.
You can try the live image, to test if it suits your purpose. Also, you can use virtual machine to install ubuntu with Windows to test it.
Id reccomend the liveCD or as mentioned running in a virtual machine if your pc can handle it.
This will allow you to explore Ubuntu without any major bugs or chances of wiping your hard drive
Personally i prefer Windows for a development environment, but Ubuntu has its advantages.
I suggest you to choose windows, the best ever, ubuntu is good but not like windows
I have test Linux one times per Year. I will never love it. I use Windows since 3.1. Linux/Ubuntu is not Windows. If you know how windows work use this.
Tri boot OSX Lion, Arch Linux, and Windows 7.
Ubuntu is bloated, and Unity is TERRIBLE.
actually ive been hearing really good things about linux mint isadora its pretty much the same as ubu but has a cleaner overlay and more user freindly.
arch linux just has way more repositorys than ubu and arch linux is more complicated to install.
man the geek radar just went off the charts with that one lmao.
I'm standing at the edge on this one as well. I really like the way Ubuntu looks and how it operates, I'm just not 100% sold yet.
it is what it is, its a love hate relationship with me i love the open source like android but i hate how it looks.
i would definitely recommend running it in virtual machine to try it first before you do any hdd partitions.
if you like mac youll probably like linux since mac is pretty much linux on steroids lol.

LinuxMint is based off of Ubuntu, but, is much more user-friendly for beginner Linux users (comes will all codecs and what not pre-installed, saves having to play around with the Package Manager, etc).
With Linux, there are several different desktop environments. KDE, is the Windows look-a-like, so, choose a KDE version if you prefer and are used to the Windows layout.
I suggest to the OP to go to http://www.linuxmint.com/download.php and download the DVD edition. Burn it to a blank DVD disc, put it into the computer and restart, and start trialling Linux from there (yes, it's that simple). To get the best of both worlds, dual boot (we can help you with that if you're having difficulty ).
It's entirely up to you though. There are advantages and there are disadvantages for choosing one over another. But, there is a learning curve to Linux. It isn't like Windows and you'll just be asking yourself for a recipe for disaster if you just go straight in and expect it to be the same.
man i almost crapped myself the first time i installed ubu i did it without anyones help and the first time i did it i did what u said and restarted with the dvd then hit escape for options then somehow crashed my system it seriously took 2hrs for my computer to restore its self after that one but thankfully it did. once it fully booted again i just popped the dvd into the tray and ran wubi installer on my desktop and i was done in about 5min i was seriously punching myself on that one lol.
also if u dont have any blank dvds laying around im pretty sure you can use daemon tools to mount the iso if your installing inside windows like i did.
If you have to ask then I suggest Windows 7 (if you have sufficient hardware). If you're interested in getting to know Linux then Ubuntu, Mint or any other variation of Ubuntu would be best. Granted there are better distros out there but they require a fair bit of knowledge.
Someone suggested Arch to a noob!?! Why not Slackware??
I'm running Lubuntu on an old machine only because XP is too heavy for it. Bottom line as a Desktop I still like Windows (let the hazing begin...)
heres kde or kubuntu in action.

and heres ubu in action
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFCnNs8jbgw
both are not my videos fyi
just out of curiosity has anyone got tethering to work on ubu 11.0.4 because for me itll recognize the ssid but will never connect to it usb tether works fine though.

Hi, everyone has his/her own taste of OSs (and any other things ), so I suggest you should answer by yourself.
In my oppinion, there no bug in Ubuntu. One difficult thing when using Ubuntu is: it cannot run our Windows software (for instance: MS Office, IDM, WinRar, etc)
You can try Ubuntu by use Live CD (download from ubuntu.com) or install it in dual mode. This way you can use Ubuntu w/u effecting your Win 7.
Enjoy.
I think window 7 is really good. Relatively easy to operate.
for common use windows,
for developing, ubuntu
Hi. I would love to see Native linux on my Sensation, but nobody did it yet, and I'm maybe high level user, but hardly developer. First I was thinking about porting HD2 Ubuntu, but then I realized... There is one very expensive device on the internet. Device with Android phone specs. but Native linux on it. Pandora Handheld Device. If someone could help me with porting pandora system (Or just do it yourway) it would be great, not only for me, but for the whole community. The big advantage is that, Pandora system is the most (I think) developed ARM Linux in the world. It means we just need to get it work, and the rest is already done.
Here you go with some links:

Sorry for my English and I please you to help me. Will be waiting.
(Sorry if it should be in General)
