Android being linux based i have to look out for windows for tweaking the phone.
For example
1. Android language project is windows based
2.real apk leecher also windows based
3. Root with bin4ry also windows based
4. Sp tools also WINDOWS based .
Please make Linux based programs in Gui so that we don't have to switch to windows for a few programs for operating on android which is a Linux kernel.
I find it very tedious.
Please make it asap so that we can keep with Ubuntu only.
Cwm recovery also we should be able to flash it from Ubuntu.
Using wine doesnt perfectly work on usb interface and does not give required results.
Please do this urgently.
Make it all in Linux why depending on windows whats the point.
While it would be great to get more Linux support you have to realize most people have Windows and are not going to install Linux just to take advantage of these tools. Also most developers are most familiar with Windows and even if they do have the Linux knowledge they probably don't have the time to develop and test on two platforms.

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.
Since I don't know anything about making an img of linux or anything. I have been using xUbuntu on a VM on the PC for some needed linux functions. Would someone be willing to see if (with proper kernel editing) they could get a properly working img I could flash? Or even just share some knowledge of how I could do that. I use VMWare Workstation 8 currently.

Android is based on the Linux 2.6 & 3.x kernel, which is why Android and Linux are (moderately) cross compatible.
Windows is a completely different world. Not going to happen.
So guys I am new to Linux and the OpenSource ideology. Is there a ' - for Dummies' kind of guide which you people know of so that I can get started. I have questions in mind like - "How is Linux different from Windows ?". So, to cut a long story short, how and from where do I get started ?
(By the way, I am running Ubuntu Linux in a virtual machine via vmware player. So until I am comfortable enough with Linux, I can't even think of installing it directly onto my hard drive.)

You can look at the Ubuntu wiki, which is very well made and self-explanatory.
I think the Ubuntu wiki is a good place to start for those high-level questions. I'd also highly recommend at least getting comfortable with using the command line. You don't need to learn every command, but it's a very useful tool.
Try using www.linuxsurvival.com
I'm sure it will help you.

I would recommend you install Gentoo or Arch to learn the fastest. Installing ubuntu is too "easy"
Hello,
Hopefully can find further help here...
Obtained Keypoon K30s Pro tablet from China. It is running Android 10 as its oem OS. I want to set it up with a linux distro instead of android.
Ofcourse due to exotic make I have not been able to find any threads of information on this topic for this brand tablets.
Only guide so far has been hardware specs...
It is running on Unisoc SC9863a 64bit ARM Cortex A-55 cpu at 10 cores.
10GB RAM
512GB internal storage
PowerVR Rogue GE8322 integrated graphics card
It successfully connects with windows 10 cmd adb bridge.
As I understand, I would need a linux distro img format file to try and boot it from bootloader via ADB, however official sources only offer ISO downloads.
PS I am open to any linux distro which would offer best compatibility to the hardware. From what I can see Debian seems to be a good choice. (as this brand is not
part of the supported device list for ubports of ubuntu touch couldnt get past that either)
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Thank you

Thank you for reply.
Looks like Andronix is a Linux emulator and backbone still remains Android.
with this also comes certain limitations...
I was looking to completely replace Android with a Linux distro.
Any suggestions?

Yes, you are correct there. Andoid is built off the linux kernel.
However, it is still limited in what you can do, you have proprietary bloatware bogging down your device and the biggest issue for me is that google is the manager of it all.
So I am strongly coming from privacy side as well.
I have seen quite a few options similar to Andronix on play store. Correct me if im wrong- they are like a virtual machine on windows..? Not sure how this setup works, if you are able to save your OS state, packages etc, or its a clean slate everytime you fire up the vnc server and connect to the distro of choice...
So I am really interested to see if its possible to fully get rid of android and try linux. (Cant install windows as ARM cpu's are not supported, not that I wanted windows anyway)
Many thanks
