Besides the Nexus i got this "Brick" called Motorola Milestone.
I was wondering if anybody has experience or a good tutorial on howto run Linux from boot or custom recovery, meaning "native" instead of a sdcard loop on top of Android OS. - Yes Android is Linux as well.. but I'd like to (ab)use my Milestone for a Debian Distro.
Thanks for any hint.

Is it possible to install an android operating system on my toshiba sattelite laptop. Its got a fast enough processor and big enough hard drive, but I jut want to install it as a second operating system, like when you can choose what op system you want to run when you boot up.
Check out the Android x86 project. Android is built for ARM architecture not i386.
Android is linux based, you could just run that.

now that youve answered that, im curious to see if its possible to install android OP on a first generation PS3.... It was possible to run linux on them before.... and im just curious to see if its possible to put the android op thats linux based on it....
can anyone help to find the correct download for the linux based android op system?
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.

Hi!
What would it take to run debian on this device?
I bought this tablet that has the motherboard 1025_v4 and I'm sad because there is no 2.3 rom for this card because of the dual-touch display.
I am an intermediate Linux User and I love working with debian, so I would try to run it on my tablet.
But the question is how to boot this device system.
I thought I'd compile a kernel for AMR cortex and copy a installed system to sd-internal already partitioned but have not idea how to make the system bootable, which bootloader to use and where it should be flashed NAND/SD-INTERNAL.
I know it will be a big job but I'm willing to try. Unless it is easier to develop a 2.3 ROM for this device.
Any help will be grateful!
Sorry my bad english!
hello guys
recently i have installed a linux distro (kali linux) in my phone using linux deploy
well its quite awesome but i wanted to use two or more distros's
i tried changing the storage and changing the image names but its not working
does anyone know how to use
I'm a bored tech enthusiast/programmer with an old pixel 1 phone that's just laying around. I thought it would be hilarious if I could install an arm version of a standard Linux distro like Ubuntu or Debian. I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to go about it. I could try porting hallium but I'm more looking to run a desktop version just for the laughs. Can you just boot from a Linux iso with fastboot? Would fastbooting a different kernel first work? Any help appreciated (aside from "don't do that use this instead" or "just run Linux inside Android")
