In order to root in ububtu or linux mint are drivers needed (using linux mint 11)? Should the script be run as root? Do I need to ad udev rules? How stable is this rooting method if done correctly?
Thanks all new I'm new to the android world.

The only thing you can really do is use boot camp or run virtual box
i have done my s-off on my mac!
what's the problem?
Bootcamp or live cd or a friends pc (or try htcdev). Rrmember do.it at your own risk.

that's also possible.
i just used for example the scripts files for linux.
after modifying some commands - it will also work on macintosh (but you've to work with terminal - no gui!)

is there any way you may be able to help me out with the commands you used thru terminal to do this, im pretty confident if you let me know what commands you used on your macs terminal to make the process run correctly. it'd be awesome.
if its too much to ask im sorry, i will do some more searching.
thanks either way.

what would be easier to develop roms on???
I think, there is no "optimized" system for developing. You can use what you want and develop in every system.
I think, that windows is a good choice, because you can use Cygwin or a virtual machine like VMWare or Virtualbox to use a linux system if necassary.

Officially, you should have Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. That's the OS Google has made "official" for Android and Kernel development. The instructions *may* work on 12.04 LTS but it is unsupported as of now.
It is, however, a PITA to simply install Oracle's JDK on Ubuntu. It can be done, but now without some research and effort.
Unofficially, you should still use Linux, because all the toolchain is easier to get and install on Linux.
IMHO, choose a Linux distro you are confortable with and start from there.
i am using win 7 and its ok with me
Thank you all for your opinions and help

I think I would be more personal preference on the tools you want to use.
If you truly want to learn true from development then you should go with a Linux distro as that is the way to truly work with source code

Decent question here, Can you cook roms on a MAC?

HI. I want to know if there is any way to change the OS of the Xoom. I want to install Linux or Windows 8 (I prefer Linux) but I want to run as primary and only OS on Xoom. No virtual machine, no remote desktop. Just to install it on harddrive. Is anything like that?
Ubuntu touch maybe

Not possible, sorry

Not even Ubuntu? Ubuntu runs everywhere! His kernel can recognize even microwave! I like very much the idea of Ubuntu on my tablet instead Android
Not going to happen. You can partially run Ubuntu Touch. But it's far from completely working.

Hm... If we can't run ubuntu, what we can? why android works and ubuntu not, having the same kernel? Do I understand right, that drivers are in kernel and kernel have "public" api?
i have xoom in disposal. i want to use xoom as dev platform on linux. i want to have access to wifi, bluetooth, camera, sensors built in, etc. is it possible, or can you suggest some other kind of such platform? i don't really need 3d acceleration for example. or will it be much simpler to develop on ndk for android?
you can run linux through chroot.
(with the right kernel)
md5?
I've downloaded this backup. I've checked md5 properly, and it was the same, but I couldn't restore it due to mismatching at md5. any solution for me? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1811747
I'm not sure this is really the place to put my question, so apologies in advance.
Do Chromebooks run Windows applications? ie, Right now, I have a Mac right now, and can't run things like Odin. Can you on Chromebooks?
-Thanks

Chromebooks cannot run Windows applications as Chromebooks run Chrome OS which is based on linux. If you want to run Odin and other Windows applications you can use Virtualbox to run Windows on your Mac in a virtual machine and then run the applications you want. On a sidenote you can also use Heimdal on your Mac to perform the same functions as Odin.

OK I don't no how to do this and is sounds VERY sketchy but my first thought was that android is Linux so just use wine but I have no clue on how to do that, u would probably have to bypass the java VM and run from Linux. Or u could run Linux in android with Linux deploy and then install in that then install the exe. But with all that is running it might get slow.

I dont think it is possible... Android wont support .Exe files
It only would be possible if you find a way how to run WINDOWS OS on your device
I heard that its possible to run outdated window version on Android like windows 98 etc.
So try to find on google if it works
You will be able to run small dos programs i think
What about using Linux deploy and running wine inside of that
