Hi ! I need help - General Questions and Answers

:what::what::what::what: my question is next. You can install any Linux SO in any device as unique system?

Maybee

You can't. Phones have different arhitecture and in most caces not powerful enough to handle an entire Linux OS. :sad:

does it possible to install Linux on my Qtek S200?

i'm trying to find any information about subject?
I guess it's possible to compile a linux-kernel for similar device.
Thank's for any information.
Check out this page in the Wiki section of this site:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Xanadux
Once you have installed it though, do any apps actually support linux?
I think its more of a "I can do this look!" thing than one that offers any practical benefit.

Well, it's pretty cool to get access to shell and programming languages like a Perl, C. And helpful to controll my Unix servers&services.

which of them is mine? i guess it should be named like a Prophet? but there's no such section.
PS: beg pardon, i'm newbie in that subject. i use my device only about one week
I dont think a newbie should be installing linux on their device. You will find you can run linux programs but not actual pocket pc apps. It really is only for the hardcore linux zeolots.

There's a nice little project for you...build a Xanadux (Linux) kernel for the Prophet....

hm, interesting ... is there windows binary emulation on linux? like a Wine or something?
It is possible... The Prophet's hardware is similar to the Wizard's. So you can boot the Kernel of the Linwizard-Project and, if you are a programmer, help the project ;-).

It will be possible to port the dynamic linker/loader from wine to wince,
and write a replacement coredll.dll from win32 finctions implemented in wine.
Since wince is implemented in a much cleaner way than usual windows,
running wine on linux-arm is easier than on linux-x86.

Jarr. Maybe some people want to run an inherently insecure, memory leaking and royalty money squeezing environment on their computer ? I don't.

Hasty (Ubuntu 8.04 'Hardy Heron') compatible with ARMv6 - Can it be done on the G1?

I know we have successfully been able to install debian on our phones, has anyone tried to install hasty (basically a build of Ubuntu 8.04 'Hardy Heron')? Although ubuntu is releasing an ARM version for ARMv7 processors in April 2009, our G1's would be left out because it is ARMv6.
However, there's a version of hasty compatible with our ARM 11 Family (ARMv6) (http://www.arm.com/products/CPUs/families/ARM11Family.html) processor, found here:
http://mojo.handhelds.org/hasty-armv6el-vfp
I wouldn't even know where to begin with installing this, so if someone could enlighten us on how to do so, it would be greatly appreciated.
why?
ubuntu is just debian with some user friendly tweaks, but none of those would apply to a cellphone. so it would basically be exactly the same as debian.

We've gone as far as installing debian, why not ubuntu? Personally I would like to see if any of those tweaks would work on my G1. I understand there are similarities, and that ubuntu is based off of debian, but it wouldn't hurt to install it as opposed to debian would it?

Because we can? Why does anybody do anything in the tech community?
I would like to install ubuntu too.
Why not just use http://www.ubuntu.com/products/mobile, when it decomes workable? Or wait for vmware mobile edition.

It's not being planned for ARMv6 (which the G1 has), only ARMv7
So has anyone given hasty a try yet? =]

[Q] Is the tf700t 64bit or 32 bit

Is this tablet a 64bit or 32 bit. I could not find a single anwser on the web. Thanks in advanced.

32bit. I believe we do have ARM 64bit, but not yet implemented for our devices. When our device required more than 4gb of memory then you should see the 64bit Droid version.
Thanks, that clears things up a bit.

There is no ARMv8 64 bit hardware available yet, but Linux has been recently (kernel 3.7) ported to AArch64.

Yes, I remember that it supports the most popular chipset for ARM. Also, what is the latest version of arm?

So, that means that this tablet has the latest version of arm then, right?
Never mind, I just found out it uses an ARMv7 instruction set.
I after reading that article I found out Nvidia has been naming the Tegra 3 cpu models after comic book super heroes. :laugh: :laugh:

[Q] Kali Linux possibal on Canvas 2?

hello people, just checking new backtrack versions out there n came to this new rebuild of it called Kali Linux. it is already out for Arm devices. Do u guys think that it can be ported to canvas 2? Anybody want to take initiative? Am not so familiar with Arm architecture. For more information posting a link here. http://www.kali.org/downloads/#

i think native install will be difficult. but it is possible to run the ARM version on the ROM. it becomes painfully slow as the RAM available for KALI is around 150MB or so

kali linux runs on raspberry pi natively, with only 700mhz processor arm v6 and 512 mb ram. so it will run much better on a110 IMO. the link you provided, am not getting the correct idea does it directly boot the linux or through x server and vnc ?

IIRC, the booting sequence of RPi is different from that of our device. as of now, i am sure it is difficult for native install. the link i provided is through VNC
if there is a way to boot Kali directly, that will be pretty awesome.

[Completed] can I make an AOSP in a virtual machine?

Hi everybody!
I am new in this community and I am sorry if a post this thread in the wrong forum.
I want to start making a AOSP or a "custom ROM" for Android, I have some experience with "Linux from scracth" and linux in general, but I think that I still beeing a newbie in OS development.
I really love OS develoment and thats why I want to try with Android. (I know that is very hard, but I am making this for experience)
The AOSP requirements says that I new a Android device and its kernel source. (I am new and I can not post links)
I want to know, if there is any way to make a AOSP or custom ROM in a virtual machine? maybe using google pixel or nexus code?
I have an Android device but I am a complete newbie and I dont want try on real hardware yet.
Thanks for any help!

Greetings and welcome to assist. Plenty of devs use a virtual machine to build or even dual boot linux. There are plenty of prebuilt virtual machines at osbox and there are plenty of excellent guides to building in xda university

I have no problem to install Linux on real hardware, actually I have Arch Linux installed on real hardware and I used as my main OS.
What I want to know is, can I put AOSP or a Custom Android in a Virtual Machine? I mean, modify some code in a custom android and tested in a Virtual Machine?
Thanks for your time and help!

You mean you want to run a custom rom on a virtual machine on your pc ? I think android studio can do something along these lines

I mean that I want to modify Android OS to add functions, optimize, maybe modify the UI of the system, learn how Android is programed and that kind of things. I want to modify Android Source Code but I want to tested that code on a Virtual Machine on my PC.
Where can I get Android Source Code or any Custom ROM to start working on it?

Here is the link for android studio
https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html#features
For source code you can use cm/aosp or anything opensource. Resurrection remix is quite easy to set up as they have a lot of pre built scripts to help you set everything up
