Has the source code for the att gingerbread kernel been released yet? And who can maybe work on compiling the new kernel? Ive contacted a few people but no answer... Does anyone have an old computer with ubuntu on it so maybe they can learn how to do it?
a not to my knowledge. Samsung is sometimes late with source code. they were doing good foe a while though.
check opensource.samsung.com
also Ubuntu is such an easy install why would someone give you a PC to get it? its easier than windows. infact you can install it in windows as if it was an application(wubi installer) but if you don't know terminal I suggest a vertual machine. ( sun/oracle virtual box is best IMHO) stumtzy has a ready made virtual environment based on debian somewhere in the i9000 section. plus it'll keep your system cleaner. it doesn't have a GUI but you can apt-get fluxbox or xfce or gnome or whatever.

Hi all, I'm sorry if this has already been asked, i looked for it using Google and the search forum option and while i found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396782&page=145, (using this: http://www.google.com/cse?cx=000825...ource&sa=Search&cof=FORID:0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8) it didnt really help me because it's not exactly what i'm looking for
I want to be able to change some bits of code on the os and see how that affects the device (for example, i'd like to change the order of options in the menus and stuff like that) just to get to know the development environment better.
however, I'm using Microsoft windows (vista x64) and cannot build it on this env (according to: http://source.android.com/download --> "To build the Android source files, you will need to use Linux or Mac OS. Building under Windows is not currently supported.").
therefore i was wondering, did anybody make a vmware image that is ready to use that contains the environment and the sources that will only need a source update and can be built immediately after for noobs like me?
I'm sure I'm not the only one running a windows machine and so i guess somebody has already made one for himself, I'm asking if you could maybe share it somehow...
Thanks
E.
Clarification: I'm not talking about the SDK building but rather the actual OS source code so that i can re-build and put on my phone
note: tried this: http://www.koushikdutta.com/2008/12/building-android-source-and-deploying.html, didn't work, but it gives an idea of what I'm looking for...
did u try running a virtualbox with linux? or maybe a macOS off a usb?
vista x64
for windows, have you tried cygwin?
I've installed it just fine in ubuntu in vmware.
I'd about 8 gb. quite hard to make an image out of it.

You should be okay using Ubuntu 9.10. I currently have that installed, but haven't done anything yet with it. Although, I actually plan on switching to Fedora 12 -- since I'm more familiar with the Red Hat distro's.
If you need help getting started, you should look into these tutorials below, provided and documented by Gbhil from Android Central.
How to create custom Icons:
http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-hero-roms-hacks/6070-changing-hero-application-icons.html
ROM FAQ/How to Build ROMS:
http://forum.androidcentral.com/hacking/6037-general-rom-faq.html
How to setup Ubuntu for the Android SDK:
http://forum.androidcentral.com/hac...ramming-envrionment-using-ubuntu-windows.html
OR here:
http://www.futuredesktop.org/developing_android_apps_on_ubuntu.html
Gbhil does an excellent job explaining how things work and how to begin your journey with Android development, hope that helps.
I've used the links above to begin making a custom icon pack, and hopefully soon enough another AOSP ROM.
I use Ubuntu 9.10 for everything I do. Make sure you're root user in that by doing these commands in the terminal:
Code:
sudo passwd
*your root password here*
*repeat root password*
Then, log out of that user, and click "other" to log in. Type root for username, and the password you set with sudo passwd for password. Note, Ubuntu 9.10 is also referred to as Ubuntu Karmic or Karmic Koala, so those are the same as 9.10.
Thankx But could you help with more?
When i try to install the Sun's Java Runtime Engine (JRE) and Java Development Kit (JDK) thier both .bin files + i dont understand on how to make them work.

All the links I gave you will give you the information to get started. Again, follow this think, it even says what its going to help you install:
We are now going to install these programs
• The Ubuntu Linux Desktop.
• Sun's Java Runtime (JRE) and Development Kit (JDK).
Java Runtime is only needed to run the Eclipse IDE. Android has its own optimized Java VM (Dalvik).
• The Eclipse IDE.
• The Android Software Developer's Kit (SDK).
• The Android Developer Tool (ADT), a special Eclipse plugin.
http://www.futuredesktop.org/developing_android_apps_on_ubuntu.html
If you want to test if Java works -- you can run the commands java --version, which java and echo $JAVA_HOME (which java and echo $JAVA_HOME should correctly state where you chose to set your environment variables when you run them). Otherwise you could open a text editor (I use VIM) and write the universal "hello world" in Java and test Java that way to make sure the program runs.
Lastly, everyone here is more than willing to help you -- but try to search for the information via Google, here on XDA, or other Android forums yourself first -- you'd be surprised that they probably already have your answer.

I don't think Ubuntu 9.10 is bad -- but I've always worked with Red Hat/CentOS and at work we use RHEL servers, so Fedora is an easy switch for me.
So, I was thinking about this...
As a Linux distro, any Linux binary application should work (just needs recompiling AFAIK, and some bit of hacking), so why not have some version control stuff on our phone? Let's say, SVN, CVS, Git, or even the google Repo manager!
Would it be possible? Is there anyone who compiled these tools for Android?
Also I am interested in any other tool what is used on Linux, and is compiled for our phones (already found wget, and no, busybox does not count )
Hi all,
Is there any info available about installing Arch Linux (ARMv6?) on a TF101?
I see their are Ubuntu-roms available, but it is possible to get this to work on Arch Linux?
Thanks.

The main issue is the kernel. The latest kernel is the "Rootbind" kernel which I have developed, see this thread, post #3:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2347581
This kernel should work irrespective of the Linux distro you are using.
Then you need a root filesystem for your Linux distribution. This you need to extract into /data/linuxroot under Android. It involves a bit of manual command line stuff, but if you want to install Arch I assume you won't be put off by that
I believe some people have gotten Arch to work on our TF101, although most of the threads are for Ubuntu and Debian. Search this forum, I can see no reason why it shouldn't work. Also, if you have an Arch Linux port for ARMv7 with hard float (armhf) this will be faster than ARMv6. Other than that I can't really help as I haven't used Arch myself.
Hey guys,
i didn't know where to ask exactly so excuse please if i'm in the wrong section.
I have set a new goal for me. To port Ubuntu touch to my Z3 Tablet. I have already build some cyanogenmod rom's in the past and did an Ubuntu touch build just for fun. But now i want to get a port for my Z3.
But i have some kind of issues with my development environment. The only machine with linux at the moment i can use is my server which runs Debian Jessie. So not really good for developing Ubuntu touch. So i thought about an VM, which can access a network drive. Installed Ubuntu 15.10 onto my Desktop VM and mapped a samba share via autofs onto it, but the problem is that i can't sync the repo. I always get permission denied. I think it has something to do with the repo tool and the network drive but i can't figure it out.
Can someone help me ?
Greetings
Moritz
