Android apps won't currently run natively on Linux though AFAIK. You'd need to use an emulator - there's a good tutorial for running Android on Ubuntu here

Hasty (Ubuntu 8.04 'Hardy Heron') compatible with ARMv6 - Can it be done on the G1?

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?

Because we can? Why does anybody do anything in the tech community?
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? =]

[Q] Ubuntu and Android the best partner

Hello,
I know some developper work on Unbutun version for android devices like MK808 (Pi****u and Co)
I know too it exist BlueStacks can run Android apps on Windows or OSX.
In Unix world it's possible to run Windows application (X86 or AMD64) under linux with WineHQ
Is it possible to mix all of this possiblities in one concept :
Ubuntu on Android device with DroidBridge can launch native Android apps on it ?
To have the best of the two worlds
Thanks you

so you want android which run a linux chroot which run an android vm which run a linux emulator which run an android library renamer?
yes....:laugh:

[Q] Difference betwen android and ubuntu kernel?

Hi
What exactly is the difference btwenn the android and the debian/ubuntu kernel?
Of course they are both based on the linux kernel, but where is the difference? Why does ubuntu not run with with an android kernel? Is ist only the configuration which has to be changed for getting an Android kernel to work with ubuntu? of coure, the device drivers, but they are not difficult to implement.
My big aim is to get naive ubuntu working on my tablet
Thanks for your help in Advance

[Completed] Looking to run Linux distro alongside android?

Dear XDA,
So I have a non-rooted Galaxy S7 Edge (exynos varient) and a Nexus 7 2012 (grouper) rooted running CM 14.1.
I am looking for away to run linux, specifically something debian related to run some arm based software and to interface with my linux partion on pc via ssh or direct connection. I plan on running hpc applications such as openfoam, paraview or blender to visualize (if possible) and analysis software like octave and scilab along with c++ and python scripts. I want to be able to also use my devices camera or usb port to passthrough usb devices and sensors.
I have gnuroot debian which is a p-root of debian jessie running on my s7 edge while I have linux deploy on my nexus which is a chrooted environment. I am wondering if anyone knows if p-root and chroot are the same and can they do what I need to? if not is there a way to natively "dual-boot" android and a linux distro?
Thanks for any assistance!

Hello,
I think this could work. [APP] Linux-on-Android project (Complete Linux Installer). It isn't exactly Dual boot but it may suit your purpose.

I will look into it more. It is a chroot so i assume its like linux deploy.

How to install LineageOS on Limbo ARM emulator?

Hello, how to install LineageOS on Limbo ARM emulator?
I want to do some development work that needs rooted Android system compiled with ARM instruction sets. I have used several Android emulators on Android, but they all have various problems.
I don't want to use Android x86, because it is incompatible with ARM apps and will cause great performance loss.
I do not intend to root my smartphone, because I do not want to expose my smartphone to danger.
try finding a iso for it!
or tutorial for it?
I have searched for it in the web, but there are no ISOs or tutorials for it.
there is lineage os 14.1 x86 builds. or other android versions too! but i dont think they will work on the arm version. i used to use boschs back in the day with my old tab. i havent used emulators since. you could give it a try. just search android x86 on google. i remember there used to be versions of limbo that emulated x86. anywho hope it works
Running a custom Android OS ( here: Lineage OS ) in an Android based emulator like Limbo requires you need to install an Android version with a KVM enabled Kernel.

it maybe possible since android x86 iso's are availble. including lineage os 14.1
Perhaps the LineageOS development team should make installers for Limbo ARM or other ARM emulators.

i dont know. maybe you could try gsi's? using dsu sideloader? go search it up. the sucess rate on locked bootloaders and non rooted devices is very low but its worth a try.
IF YOU VOID YOUR WARRANTY SOMEHOW dont blame me please... alr got alot going on in my life rn
Thank you for your help. It seems that I have to abandon this idea currently.
By the way, Limbo x86 emulator runs as slow as a PC in 1995 on my device. (I'm using MediaTek Dimensity 810 @ 2.4 GHz with 8GB RAM.)

yeah its super slow. better abandon this. and lineage os 14.1 native bridge never worked for me. meaning that some apps wont work at all e.g. some games and will crash.
According to my research, the performance of a virtual machine in Limbo x86 emulator is equivalent to about 4.12% of the physical ARM smartphone's performance.
I said that:"I have used several Android emulators on Android.", these emulators don't have performance problems on my smartphone. These emulators are:
VMOS / VMOS Pro - You need to pay to become a member to use rooted virtual machines. Its theory is similar to Anbox.(Off Topic: Perhaps the Anbox development team can make an installer for Android.)
VPhoneGAGA - You need to pay to become a member or watch advertisements to use rooted virtual machines. Its virtual machines contains advertisements unless you are a member. The theory of this software is to rewrite linux's C functions.
F1 VM / X8 Sandbox- You need to pay to become a member to use rooted virtual machines.
V8 Box - It's free and ad-free. It provides rooted virtual machines for free. But at present, this software only supports Android 5.1. This software is only available in Chinese.
