Hey everyone,
So I just ordered my NVIDIA Shield, and I was wondering if anyone has experimented with the Complete Linux Installer app (apk) which is available on the Google Play Store. I would very much like to have a dual boot console, and from what I've heard, Complete Linux Installer allows you to put linux straight onto your Android without having to root the device.

That's it!
I have tried several app store and home-brewed installations of linux, but none have been what I was looking for or had some serious drawbacks.
My question is: has anyone got a decent setup where they have been able to install linux (I don't care about the GUI) installed to an SD card without using an fixed size image?
I am interested in buying a new android and would like to run the OS from a few android phones in a virtual machine. Everything is installed, Android SDK, eclipse, Genymotion, as well. After loading one of the VMs that are already available, what interested me was how could I load a particular kernal for a phone that I would like to buy.
For example, I downloaded the rom for the ZTE Open C (firefox OS). How would I go about converting this to a VDI or OVA? Not sure even which I would convert it to. Could somebody even possibly point me to the correct faq, did some searching but not really sure what to search for so only coming up with how to root your phone.
Thank You
Hi,
With the eltech desktop software running on Linux Ubuntu and with wine, it would be amazing to be able to have a dual boot allowing to boot either in Android or Ubuntu and be able to run games like Diablo II on the Shield Tablet. See the video of people running that game on a pandora using eltech and wine
Has anyone been able to install Linux on the shield tablet using the Linux for Tegra
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?
Android IS Linux tailored to the mobile's hardware

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
