Id say, if they can, we can too.
Bet developers can do but the question is if they want to?
It would be usefull to have both linux and android here on xoom

Yes it would with the ability to run linux natively you would think it could be done. It would be a matter of repartioning as well as boot.img . The whole native linux thing on the xoom is a pain use linux when done wipe and re flash a nandroid backup and then do it all over again. I guess i will have to mess around with my touchpads boot img and the xoom to see if i can get it work my touchpad runs linux,android and webos. Iwould haveto do some serious reprogramming on the files to make them work but I think it could be done

I'm no programmer but i wonder if it would be possible running something like Puppy Linux.
Puppy can boot from an SD card and run entirely in ram.It seems to me this would save a lot of work partitioning, etc. The developer is currently trying to adapt Puppy for ARM boards.
It's a great little distro I used for many years ( after BeOS got too old).

Hmmm interesting i will have to look into that tonight and see what I come up with

[Q] Android and Ubuntu dual boot

Is there a possibility to make dual boot on tf300 with ubuntu and android? Please dont show me how to use ubuntu on android, I want it natively.

I'm also interested

should be working in future as nvflash is now available. I just cannot answer the how but on other phones where nvflash is available there is a solution.

Ok but is there anyone who managed to do this on his device and could paste the tutorial he used or write what to do?

Take a look at this video

Thx for this, I've already seen this but as for me it doesnt look like a natively installed ubuntu with dual boot with android. It is a way to get ubuntu but i think it is not what I'm looking for. So does anyone know how to get real native ubuntu on tf300?

It's not available yet we don't have the necessary tools to do so. We need a special kernel used only to boot ubuntu on our tablet we don't have that so its currently not possible.

Do you know if anyone is working on such a kernel now? And does anyone have the video of ubuntu emulated on tf300t?

You can use either vmware to load up linux, or "dual boot" using wubi...
Or a much more traditional, pure dual boot windows and ubuntu...
Any of the 3 methods would do...
They are in order of ease and risk of setup, with vmware being the easiest and least risky...
You need a linux platform (preferably ubuntu, for beginners)...
Compilation and source sync tasks cannot take place on windows...

Thanks.

Xoom another OS

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 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
