How to Install Ubuntu on Your Desire/Android

First sorry for my English
All credits are for zedomax, who has gotten it to work in Nexus One and for Desire is practically the same.
Sorry about "h t t p" of link adress I am very new here.
Original howto -> h t t p : / /nexusonehacks.net/nexus-one-hacks/how-to-install-ubuntu-on-your-nexus-oneandroid/
For now, I've only gotten it to work with Windows 7 and "CyanogenMod 5.0.8" and "Defrost2.0c" ROMs. The rom is important for get this works.
Practically almost all the steps are the same as in the guide of nexus one by zedomax. Well go:
Before anything, download ubuntu.zip from original HOWTO and unzip it.
Now download the updated script from zedomax.
h t t p : / /zedomax.com/android/bootubuntu
and overwrite the bootubuntu file of unzipped ubuntu.zip
1. First, you will need a rooted Desire.
zedomax say that you must have the latest version of busybox 1.16.1 but in Defrost2.0c works with 1.16.0 and cyanogenmod has 1.16.1. So we ignore this step from original guide.
2. Once you have a rooted Android phone, you will be able to run Ubuntu under Chroot.
3. Copy these six files from ubuntu.zip over into your SD card’s root folder under folder name “ubuntu“
4. Put your Desire in recovery mode. And connect it to your computer via USB.
5. I am assuming you've already installed the Android SDK (while you were rooting your phone) so let's head to your Android SDK directory and load up ADB Shell.
For Windows, go to your Android SDK Tools directory such as c:\sdk\tools and type "adb shell".
(FYI, cd is the command you can use to browse to your sdk\tools directory. For Windows, do cd \sdk\tools and for Mac/Linux, do cd /sdk/tools.
For linux and Mac, go to your Android SDK Tools directory such as /sdk/tools and type "./adb shell" or it can also be "sudo ./adb shell" for Ubuntu.
6. Once you are in the ADB shell, you should see a “#”symbol. Great, let’s start bootin’ Ubuntu right away.
7. Next, type "mount system", press enter and then type "mount sdcard". If you get this "mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 on /sdcard failed: Device or resource busy" ignore it, sdcard is already mounted.
8.- Next, type "cd /sdcard/ubuntu"
9.- Now we will write separate commands instead of using a script to see if something has gone wrong easily. Copy and paste each line separately and hit Enter at the end of each command.
rm /system/bin/fsrw <--(this problably return an error, ignore this)
rm /system/bin/bootubuntu <--(this problably return an error, ignore this)
rm /system/bin/unionfs <--(this problably return an error, ignore this)
rm /system/bin/mountonly <--(this problably return an error, ignore this)
cp -f fsrw /system/bin
cp -f bootubuntu /system/bin
cp -f unionfs /system/bin
cp -f mountonly /system/bin
cd /sdcard/ubuntu
chmod 4777 * <--(this problably return an error, ignore this)
cd /system/bin/
chmod 4777 *
cd /
umount sdcard
umount system
exit
Now select "reboot system now" from recovery menu of your Desire. When android fully loaded you need load up again ADB Shell.
For Windows, go to your Android SDK Tools directory such as c:\sdk\tools and type "adb shell".
Type "su" to enter superuser mode. Is very important not to forget this!
type "mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system"
type "mkdir /data/local/mnt"
10. Once that completes, type "bootubuntu" to "chroot" or boot into your new Ubuntu on your Android!
If you get the "root_localhost:/#" sign, congratulations! You've just installed Ubuntu on your Desire/Android phone!
the hardest part is complete!. From now, follows the original guide for the "nexus one" to get access to Gnome (visual desktop).
Other problems like keyboard mapping can fix it follow the original post from nexus one forum:

well, I hope this helps

thats pretty cool mate thanks ill try it out tonight when i get home from work

Thanks for this! Will give it a shot when I have a moment

Script?
Anybody fancy writing a nice script to do this for us? I'm on Holiday in Spain so I'm feeling pretty lazy.

Awesome, thanks a lot!
I'm on DJ Droid's Sense with Froyo 2.2, will try it.. hope it works! But do you know why it's rom specific? Is it because of busybox?

I tried this out, and got stuck on bootubuntu from the bootloader menu.
command not recognized. . .
everything works ok until i try to boot ubuntu from the bootloader menu.

Works great for me, SixOclock rom with busybox 1.16.2

Is anyone nice enough to break the ubuntu.zip down into the 6 files and upload separately?

good job, works fine on SetRom 3.5

someone can post screenshoots ???

?¿?The uncompressed "ubuntu.zip" has a 2Gb .img!!!

humm, are you get any error in this part?
cp -f fsrw /system/bin
cp -f bootubuntu /system/bin
cp -f unionfs /system/bin
cp -f mountonly /system/bin
and, where are you launching the bootubuntu command? You need do it from adb shell (at least until you set gnome) or terminal client directly from your phone, like better terminal emulator. Don't forget do "su" before launch bootubuntu. If it still does not work I recommend you start again the guide

Ok, so it worked. I'm now logged in through adb into Ubuntu. But how can i run ubuntu directly from my phone ?

VNC?

How to root the Droid 2

All credit for the binary goes to Sebastian Krahmer at http://c-skills.blogspot.com/. Please see fit to donate via Paypal to [email protected]
If you want a simpler 'one-click' process, go to this thread: Easier 1-2-3 Droid 2 Root for Windows / Linux / Mac
***NOTE: Proceed at your own risk. I and the providers of this code are not responsible for anything you do to your phone!***
Setup:
- Install adb (here) and Motorola drivers for windows(32-bit or 64-bit)
- Download attached archive
- Extract to a directory, I used c:\Droid2Root
- Make sure you have USB degugging enabled
- Change connection to PC Mode
Process:
- Open command prompt
- cd c:/wherever-your-sdk-tools-folder-is
- adb devices (to verify the connection)
- cd c:/Droid2Root
- adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk
- adb push su /sdcard/su
- adb push busybox /sdcard/busybox
- adb push rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
- adb shell
- cd data/local/tmp
- chmod 0755 rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
- ./rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
- let the process run until it 'kicks' you out (may take a minute or two) to c:/Droid2Root
- cd c:/wherever-your-sdk-tools-folder-is
- adb kill-server
- adb devices (to verify the connection)
- adb shell (you should now have a # prompt, if not return to ./rage step above)
- mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
- cp /sdcard/Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk
- cp /sdcard/su /system/bin/su
- cp /sdcard/busybox /system/bin/busybox
- chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
- chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox
- mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
- exit
- exit
I'm sure there are certain steps that could be streamlined or eliminated, so please feel free to make a suggestion and I'll edit the post.
Additional thanks to @rainabba and AllDroid.org for their excellent Droid X rooting tutorial, which assisted me greatly in this process.

waiting for a recovery, glad to see its rooted

I wouldn't remove anything yet since we don't have a sbf file to recover from partial bricks. However, tethering and any other apps that require root can be used now.

I'm new to doing this all the adb way.
When you say extract to a directory what do you mean to extract. After it downloads the achive files its done.....
i understand the rest of the commands but im lost there

Hmm, alright, that's still worth it, will I lose my data/have to hard reset to root?

Right click the downloaded archive and "extract files". You need to do this so adb can push them to the phone.

Nope, it just gives you access. Nothing deleted.

I'm retarded i didnt realize it was attached to the post, i thought it was what adb downloaded when i first opened it cause it called them archives.

I got as far as pushing super user su and busy box onto my phone but it says that system in read only.. how do i fix this?

Anybody actually try this?

Hello,
I am following your directions and when I get to the "adb push Superuser.apk" step I receive the following error:
"failed to copy 'Superuser.apk' to '/system/app/Superuser.apk': Read-only file system"
I get this same error for the other adb push steps that follow.
Edit: To verify, I get a # shell.
Edit 2: I tried pushing the Superuser.apk to /data/local/tmp then cp to /system/app/, this also popped up a read-only file system error.

I'm currently trying it.
I have a 64 bit driver on my computer that i used to use for my D1 but it doesn't recognize my D2 when doing adb devices and i cant install the 32 bit driver

Did you add any steps to mount the system? I don't believe I did, but it seems others are finding it to be read-only.

Don't know if it will help you, but if it's anything like the DInc, you could just use the SDK's drivers and add a few device identifier lines to the INF file before installing them.

[Tutorial]Deodexing + Zipaligning Galaxy Gio GT-S5660

Advantages or disadvantages
- Odexed ROMs are slightly faster, deodexed ROMs are slightly slower
+ You can make custom themes for your ROM
+ Performance los is negligible.
Requirements
xUltimate - http://www.droidforums.net/forum/xeudoxus/47283-release-xultimate.html
Busybox installed
Root
Automatic deodexing - Method 1, by r33p
1. Connect phone to computer
2. Start xUltimate, we will now get the required files from our phone to deodex and zipalign it which we will describe in the 3rd step.
3. Select option #15 then "do it all".
Deodexing (little harder, but contains useful information for your future Galaxy Gio modding experience)- Method 2, by me
1. Connect phone to computer
2. Start xUltimate, we will now get the required files from our phone to deodex and zipalign it which we will describe in the 3rd step.
3. On the main menu of xUltimate, choose option 5 (Pull and deodex all). Everything will be done for you here. Don't worry. You will see all your finished files in the folders 'done_app' and 'done_frame' which are located in the installation directory of xUltimate.
4. move folders 'done_app' and 'done_frame' folders to your sdcard, you can find these folders in the directory of xUltimate as described in the previous step.
5. Make sure the sdcard is not mounted to pc anymore
6. Open Windows Command Prompt and type the following commands.
adb shell
su
stop
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl12 /system
rm /system/app/*.odex
rm /system/framework/*.odex
busybox cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/
busybox cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/
chmod 644 /system/app/*
chmod 644 /system/framework/*
mount -o remount,ro /dev/block/stl12 /system
sync
reboot recovery
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
7. Now data and cache reset in the recovery menu...
8. reboot
If one of the commands, for example 'cp' is not found, try putting busybox in front of the command:
eg: busybox cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/
How to odex again
This may put you in the right direction. You may need to edit some steps.

Updated my tutorial. Now everything works.

What does this do to my gio?
// Thanks from the noob

why the hassle? just let xultimate do it all automatic -> select option #15 then "do it all"
yep

Thanks.. ;-)
Would it work with others samsung devices?

I am curious to

I suggest you google deodexing and zipaligning.
Deodexing in short means that it will allow you to have custom themes.
Zipaligning improves performance of the apk/jar files when reading
There is a lot of information you might want to look up!
I just added r33p's suggestion. Thanks!

Dhuu, just google it.............
I did, but it gives no answers.
I thought it was about the holy grail, or the fountain of youth..............
But no..........
But comes close
So tell me, does it works on the fly or must you reboot to aply changes?

I tiedy this metod and it works. Tank you

I'm having a problem..
I'm on xUltimate, I go to the advanced menu (15) and I type 1 (Do everything) and then it says that I don't have files in done_app folder.
Please help
Edit: I have rooted my phone, it's on Gingerbread.xxkpo. Do I have to Un-Root my phone and then do this ? Also can I root it back when the ROM is on ?
Please reply fast :S

I'm having this issue,,, what does it mean? i pulled out all the files with the automatic process and went fine. But then in the deoxed process:
How can i solve it? Thanks :3

[WIP] how to deodex stock rom?

THIS HAS NOT BEEN TRIED ON THE ATRIX 2 YET! THIS IS JUST FOR HELP DECIDING IF THIS IS SAFE! I HAVE NOT PULLED THE TRIGGER YET! WITHOUT A WAY TO RECOVER I SUGGEST YOU DO NOT TRY IT.
I was thinking and remembered the original and deodexing the stock rom. The Atrix stock rom could be deodexed with a locked bootlader. In comparing the instructions below to our Atrix 2 I don't see a reason why this wouldn't work. Can some of you chime in with what you think?
Original post here:

1. Unzip xUltimate v2.2, and launch "Main.exe"
2. If everything goes well xUlt should recognize the phone and make a connection. You now should see a list of options.
3. Run option 1. After option 1 is done, run option 2.
4. Now these well take a while. Run option 3.
5. Now run option 4, and wait.
6. Exit xUltimate, and put the phone in USB mass storage.
7. Go back into the xUltimate folder and copy "done_frame", and "done_app", and move them to the root of the sdcard.
8. Put the phone in PC mode "MOTOROLA PHONE PORTAL"
9. Open a command prompt, and ENTER THE FOLLOWING COMMANDS: AFTER YOU ENTER su make sure you hit accept on your phone
C:\>cd\
C:\>android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\adb shell
su
stop
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
rm /system/app/*.odex
rm /system/framework/*.odex
cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/
cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
reboot
Some input from a little more experience than me?

I was thinking of trying the same thing, but I didn't want to run this without a way back.

I know they had tried it on the RZR and I think it caused a soft brick so they backed off till a way to flash. I was gonna try the way they had performed it till I seen they were having problems.
We are really stuck right now with no option to flash back to stock if we brick and I'm getting withdrawals LoL

I'm unfamiliar, whats the point?

Step 7 is just a copy and paste from pc folder to sdcard.

That's what I want is all of the deodxed files so I can push em to my phone.

Media Transfer Protocol. Gives you access to your SD Card and phone storage without unmounting them from phone so your SD Card is also available through phone as well as on PC. If you access any file on your phone, it will first copy it to PC and then open it which makes it slower. But its good enough for transferring pics and music and basically MEDIA TRANSFER as the name says..

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Wait for a while....
Until you get the [email protected] again you must not do any thing because the previous step is not done.....
Be patient.
The step copy system apps take 5 minutes...
And there is a space here before remount
mount -o rw, remount /system/ /system/

What are the advantages of deodexing the stock rom?
I came across this thread and it gave me curiosity to find-out the stuff which I wanted to read for long time. Odex and deodex..
The only advantage I came across of deodexing was posibility of theme modifications.
Some thread on XDA and google said that with odex rom (1) boot will be faster.
With deodexing, they said (1) it will take up more data space (2) theoritically deodexing will slow some performance and (3) longer boot times because of big dalvik cache...
Please can you tell me exactly where I am wrong?
