I was wondering if anyone ever managed to install gentoo on our device, and if so is it on top of android or dual booting? Also if anyone has that tremendous capability, could please provide a guide (preferably step-by-step). Cheers.

Shouldn't be much different from the Backtrack installation, just replacing it with the ARM version of Gentoo.

The first step comes from googling the topic: how to make custom rom.
have you tried this yet?
there are several hits from google, including youtube vids.
You can also read the older threads in the dev section.
You can also hang out in chat rooms and irc...you're more likely to get more help there.

I have looked at Google and you tube but all I found was for Linux or Mac OS and I haven't seen any older posts that helped

You have to build in Linux since android is a Unix based system. You can tear apart a stock, or leaked rom in windows and mod it, and/or theme it. But, to straight build a rom, HAS to be done in Linux, ie(Linux mint, Ubuntu) .

Ubuntu has been released for android. Will our devices be able to run it? If so, will it run well?

I get the feeling it won't work too well if it works at all.
I'm placing emphasis on dual-core on the website below.

What about apps?

Almost certainly not. Can you install them on Ubuntu on your desktop?

No they cannot but they should be easily portable since android and Ubuntu for android use the same kernel.

This thread is surely aimed at Ubuntu Phone, not Ubuntu for Android, no?

I'd like to see this ported to DS, especially as my contract runs out soon!

I belive that it will be realised
So, if some kind soul ports it (We are actually talking about Ubuntu phone, but not Ubuntu for android right?)
would it pop up on the android development forum?
Ubuntu
How big is this Ubuntu and more important could a sort of dual boot setup be created like on a PCM so the android os could be primary and perhaps Ubuntu could be on a partition on the flash card.
I got a 64gb sd card class 10 so I'm looking for ways of using my space creatively
I have a Gateway E-265M and it is messed up and cannot find an operating system on the hard disk so I made a bootable flash drive that has Ubuntu 12.10 but when I install it the WiFi never works. I have tried searching around on Google but nothing has helped. Please someone with a lot of knowledge on Linux help me!

Would you like to try Android 4.3?
Here's how to run Android 4.3 on your PC using VirtualBox:

I just updated this guide.
If anyone get kernel panic is because you need to enable intel-vt in your bios configuration.

Hi.
I did, Intel VT is enabled, but I still get the kernel panic error... any guesses ?
Hi,
Unfortunately I don't know why it's working perfectly for some people and not working for other one.
I imagine could be a VirtualBox issue.
You can try either doing similar procedure using WMware or ask for support here:

Up!
Orientation...portrait?
I have successfully installed 4.3 on VirtualBox again using Ubuntu host. Is there a way to change the orientation to portrait permanantly so that the VM looks and operates like a phone? Short of finding a way to set my expensive monitor on it's side I can't really find a way.
