[Q] Run Ubuntu natively on Galaxy Note 10.1

I rooted my Galaxy Note 10.1 (N8010) and I ran Ubuntu on top of android using Complete Linux Installer app
I wanna know if you can install and run ubuntu NATIVELY on the galaxy note 10.1 because I know people have installed ubuntu natively on the Asus Transformer pad, and I dont see why cant this device handle it.
So developers please answer this!!!!

Hi! I'm also looking for a native build of Ubuntu for the Galaxy Note 10.1 but what I wanna ask you is the performance of chroot. Are you able to type in LibreOffice without a lag? I'm one click away from ordering a device and I really need a full office suite for educational reasons (I'm a student).
What is more, my own hopes are about another way of getting better Ubuntu. The project you use (linux on android) aims to have native video output for some devices and it might be really better than a fully native Ubuntu. The GUI will be fast but at the same time Android will stay one click away with full support etc. What do you think?

hi there,
im a student too. my aim was to buy the TF300T at first. then when i went to the shop, the staff told me that the TF300T batch was full of returns because it was pretty sh**ty So i decided to buy the N8010 (Galaxy Note 10.1)
which is really better than the transformer because it has 2gb ram all the other cool features.like s pen and all that. i wanted to buy the transformer because it came with the keyboard dock which you can turn it into sorta netbook then i could take it to school or something. i was planning on installing ubuntu on it but ye.
so when i got this galaxy note 10.1, i rooted it and ran ubuntu like mentioned about. honestly, there is a slight lag but its not that extreme. only like milisecond(s) lag. *no other apps were running except for terminal emulator, vnc viewer and complete linux installer.
i think this is capable of doing more because literally ran a minecraft server in there LOL it loaded up pretty fast. but i havent connected into it and played yet. youtube video is working. which means it has flash support. my screen protector should arrive today so i can play around more with it. i'll load up ubuntu again. post some screen shots and maybe a video if u need one
the resources manages shows all four cores in the cpu and shows 1.8* of ram. which is good. and more than 1.2gb was available when i was running the office suite that was there.
Summary:
This is good for a start, im hoping to see developers start working on Galaxy Note 10.1 more and more. (i think its just this is still new cuz it only came out recently)
This device is really good for school. Snote app has so many features infact the device has 'samsung features' which i still havent touched on
Hoping to see some thirdparty keyboard docks for this since the samsung one is about 90-100 dollars (USD) i believe and about about 120-150dollars here in australia :/
I think the reason for the transformer pad to have native support cuz asus gave out the source code on their website ? *once i was in there website and it told me to choose the OS between android and other os*
which i belive u can install another os pretty much.
asus also had kinda a bios sorta menu when u boot it up.
hope that helps
if u wanna know anything else, simply reply

In the case of Transformers, ASUS had open-sourced the bootloader and it was capable of booting something different than Android from scratch. That's a different story for Samsung GN 10.1, but we have a chance for native build since Samsung is developing drivers for the Exynos platform and more or less the bootloader they have is open-sourced or cracked.
As for the OFFTOPIC about learning, thank you a lot for your reply! If you can post a video of LibreOffice typing experience, it would be nice but there are a lot on YouTube already and impression is more important than videos. Personally, I have used on other N-trig tablets LectureNotes (non-free app from market) and Quill(fully open-source) and I find them many times better than S Note.
BTW, once Canonical should release the Ubuntu for Android official project, m?
I think I'll buy one SGN and join you in the battle for better software

I made a video of it
hey,
I made a video of it last night... its in Full HD but dsnt have my voice.(has background music) im still getting used to making videos and putting it up on youtube :
I'll start uploading it now.. theres about 1.01GB so might take some hours to upload
I was watching that video on XDA TV, about Samsung hating XDA, apparently samsung limiting their source codes and all that...I dunno whats gonna happen
anyway wish this was like the asus transformer where you can run other os
we just have to hope for the best :fingers-crossed:
Yes im waiting till ubuntu releases the version for android ! i've seen their official video and its really awesome
Niceee when are you going to buy it ?
P.S. oh sh**t i'm sorry, it wasn't libre office it was open office since i had downloaded ubuntu 10.1 not 12
im pretty sure it would be the same experience with typing...
:fingers-crossed:hoping more people will buy SGN 10.1 and devs will start working on it:fingers-crossed:
video will be at

Slow upload

What's your upload speed? I want to see the lag and then go to the store, so I'm waiting for your video.
Have seen two guys with SGN in the tram on the way to university, so the popularity comes very fast to the device.

Hello,
Im sorry to tell u this but something went wrong with youtube and it said the video was deleted :S
so im uploading it again. I faxed google and sent them a email but no reply. so uploading again.
upload speed is like 0.40mbps (speedtest) and ye
Its nice to see that its getting popular

Video
May be it would be faster not to upload Full HD? Otherwise, you will be uploading 1 gig my whole life

dam, im sorry
its 41% and about 311 mins remaining..
I'll see if i can let you stream the video from my pc, that way its easier
sorry again....
Hopefully this upload doesnt fail and if it does (hope it doesnt) but if it does i'll upload low quality..

Full hd video :d

hi there,

Hello,
If you want to root the Stock ICS XSA for N8010, you will have to download the firmware from : http://www.hotfile.com/dl/177420056/592b6c1/N8010XWALI6_N8010XSAALI1_XSA.zip.html and root it your self.
I have attached the rooting files (thanks to zedomax ) and extract the files to a folder. and follow zedomax's instructions.
Hope this helps...
BUT this will not get rid of the Samsung user interface. If you want to get rid of the STOCK SAMSUNG STUFF, you will have to consider flashing CM10

Great news for tablet owners. Ubuntu will support Nexus 7. So Tegra 3 devices first and maybe Exinox later...
I really hope Team Hacksung will jump into this and make out tablet the best device ever. It will be much better then any W8 RT device because of Ubuntu ARM repositories, lots and lots of app (Libre Office, Gimp, VLC..etc).
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Nexus7

Wow thanks for this info im looking forward for ubuntu to be come available on my galaxy note 10.1

Any update on this? That is a real shame no one ported Ubuntu to Note 10.1 when there is Ubuntu running even of Asus Transformer TF101. Lack of drivers?

I dont really know honestly. Its just maybe the devs arnt putting much attention to this... WHY ? i dont know. its a great device. better that transformer pad TF300T.... its new.. and 2gb ram and all that. can handle ubuntu very well i suppose. even the nexus 7 got native from Ubuntu officially.. comeon devs!!!

I just bought this about a week ago and I am loving it. I am going to college and working on electrical engineering and about to take more c++ classes. Do I have to run Ubuntu natively to use a C++ program, or whast the best way?

It would be better if there was a native distro of Ubuntu for this. Ubuntu running on top of android maybe laggy (with your requirements). I still dont understand why developers arnt looking into this If u have a good internet connection at home you can use Splashtop to stream your pc into the tablet. all the touch features work. Its free for local use but if u want to use it remotely (pc at home and tablet at workplace) theres a membership for it.

I rekon since note 10.1 is abit new they havent made native ubuntu. I got rid of samsungs os and installed cyanogenmod 10 on it. Its jellybean .and way more smoother and faster. Yes pressure sensitivity is working. U can also use the stylus as the cursor (mouse) while hovered on top of the screen without touching the screen. Minor bugs but i use it and i use lecturenotes from the google play for my school... I wrote a tut on how to install cyanogenmod since people couldnt flash that rom thru clockworkmod. Hope this helps

What are the limitations/obstacles from installing windows PHONE 8.1 OS on my note 3

Hey everyone. I was thinking about this today.
I personally see the mobile phone/ tablet market going the PC route. you can install any operating system providing its compatable with the CPU and the hardware can run it.
That got me thinking. lets say for a minute Microsoft sold a copy of Windows phone O/S and you flashed it via Odin or some other way.
What would be the limiting factors? is it possible?

Its not only about the CPU, What about everything? you will break many stuff.

it would be a good idea to have windows 8.1 in note 3 if the windows phone os gets updated !

It would be a much better idea to buy a Lumia if you want WP 8.1......

1. Lol
2. Not gonna happen. Ever
3. You can't just install an OS like you would on a PC. Windows is windows, closed source, no device binaries for the hardware.

Dont even want Win8 on my pc, let alone on my phone.
Android is so much better, than all the others. So NO i'll fight this idea, with all my power (but that ain't much). :silly:
If it were a linux distro you were talkin about i'd say yes...

I think by the way samsung drive there TouchWiz android we will be like windows even Google courage people to root and miss with it's s branded phone's and nexus branch getting Ubuntu phone and maybe Firefox os I think In the future we will buy just the hardware and load whatever os you wish like DOS shipped laptop's
And regarding hardware I think even the Nokia lumia don't have hardware like our SGN3 so why not
In the end we will get all open source to drive the tech

Me talking about my experience with RT
I bought a Surface RT with a touch keyboard for $250 on black Friday in 2012 or 2013 I don't remember. I was blown away at how well the device worked but I wanted to expand the capabilities of it. So after a lot of poking around on this site and spending a lot of time I got things to work better. For example:
I wanted to play old Humongous Entertainment games (ScummVM)
I wanted to host a wireless network using the Surface
I wanted to dual boot RT 8.0 and 8.1
I wanted an easy way to enable and disable ICS (Internet Connection Sharing)
I wanted a button that I could use with touch to press esc
Thanks to Netham45 making and clrokr finding an exploit on Windows RT 8.0 we could run recompiled desktop apps (Number 1) so I packed ScummVM and SDL and zlib1 into a zip. Then to use touch in ScummVM while having ScummVM fill the screen you need to do the following:
Move the task bar to the left or right of the screen
Control panel->Display->Custom Sizing options->150%
I wrote a batch file for Number 2. I have a word document explaining what I did for dual boot. I will make a batch file later. For Number 4 I was looking for a 1 click method to enable and disable ICS the Batch file does that. For the last one I used visual basic.

Hopefully I have enough support to get to beta then to final. It should:
Be a one click installer that can run on RT 8.0 or RT 8.1
Auto detect your OS (RT8.0 or 8.1)
Ask you full or custom.
If full it will install as much as it can given your OS
If on RT 8.1 it will install:
Wireless Hosted Network
ICS
Keypresser
Dualboot of 8.0 (Just asking you to input the path to install .wim)
If on RT 8.0 it will install:
Jailbreak
7-zip
ICS
Wireless Hosted Network
Keypresser
If custom it will ask what you want to install from a list of tools that can be installed based on your OS

Hi,
That sounds really good. You said "both versions of RT that is 8.0, 8.1.", so that mean JB for RT 8.1??
Thanks!

No, he's using the same jailbreak available for RT 8, hence the reason there's a dual boot option, for 8 and 8.1 so you can switch to 8.1 whenever you don't need to run something on 8.

Hello, that project sounds very nice. It could bring hope to Windows RT users, especially me.
Good luck !

Project Update
Hi everyone,
I have been busy these past few weeks so I have not been able to respond to replys. Sorry. Also I have been working more and more on this project:
I have a vision for the final product to be an auto installing/extracting zip file
I now have some Questions for you guy's:
What do you want to do on your RT's?
Has anybody tested the alpha tools? Like them? What else do you want in them?
Do you want GUI or CMD tools? It is easier to prepare CMD but maybe not as nice looking or good for touch.
I started a dual boot batch flow chart.
Once again thanks for all your support! I need lots to continue this project into beta.
Thanks,

Like someone else said; nope. You need myriachan's Secure boot disable on 8.1 to JB 8.1. I can, with myriachan's Secure boot disable, load Kernel drivers on 8.1 now so I basically have a JB.

Support to do it on 8.1
I would like to be able to run it without downgrading. Sadly, I can't downgrade without my files being toast for some reason (onedrive doesn't like them if I downgrade for some reason ) start with CMD tools, and only if people are really bemoaning about how there are no GUI tools, then create them. People aren't complaining about how the jailbreak is CMD and not GUI

waiting for update as a man who have Surface RT everyday.

Dual Booting on 32GB Model
Hey, was just wondering. My surface rt has been doing some solid work for quite some time and I'm rather satisfied with it. Some slow downs and maybe a few freezes, but my main concern is that the os alone takes almost more than half of my entire storage capacity. Would dual booting be unsafe for the 32GB surface rt users?

I dual boot my 32gb surface RT all the time. I've never had the problems you are talking about. Then again I moved my user profile to my 32gb SD ???

In theory It would work...
Older versions supported ARM32 pretty well and since Linux is already working It would not be harder to port Android to The surface RT and 2.
The problem is that these devices are almost 10 years old and few people care about them anymore.
Even with Android installed running apps with 2gb of very aged memory would prove to be a pretty bad experience...

Eh, I've run worse. I have a moto E LTE running android 9 (RR Custom Rom based on a GO version of android) and it runs fine (1gb of ram and a worse cpu than the RT) sure it would be nice to have more ram but it works.

Yes, I understand your point. But the fact is that it had Android to start with, with the surface RT you have to use loopholes and bugs to get Linux working in a inefficient way and even the currently working(sort of ) Raspbian based Linux system has a bunch of bugs and missing drivers etc. Power control lacks behind Windows RT (mentiond here:https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/porting-chromium-to-windows-rt.2095686/post-87719273. The sad fact that this device is already 10years old means that it is unlikely people would pay attention to it and use it to develop Android, and even with Android installed the experience would be very limited due to the ram. support would be almost non-existent similar to what happened to the windows phones that got unofficial CM versions. Developers are already moving away from ARM32 to newer ARM64 and a few years later most apps would have a minimum api equivalent to android 6.
There is still a silver lining though. RT devices are dirt cheap since they are almost or practically useless now and Android still has excellent backward compatibility. Anyone who really has interest and the time could pick up the pieces of the Linux project and move on with doing it, but it still would not be easy.
Maybe a crowdfunding project could give devs some incentive?

But for now you could try to run a vm in linux or simply run their linux equivalents. Chromium, firefox, WPS office etc. Raspbian is compatible wih the snap store too, so you could use it just like ubuntu.
I am not trying to pour cold water on your idea, and I really look forward to this project taking off. However, there ultimately is a reason why Windows RT and their RT devices failed to take off.

working with the progress made with opensurface-rt, we managed to get android 7.0 booting on the surface RT using the 3.4 kernel, got wifi working, but minor gpu bugs that make it an unstable setup. had a play about with 4.4 and 5.1 too. android 7.1.1 and above have critical gpu bugs which make it completely unusable. and probably unfixable. development into getting other devices such as sound, camera, bluetooth etc has yet to be done. so far we have, screen, touch screen, type/touch keyboard, 2d/3d gpu working. recorded a quick video of it running
maybe it would be possible to get all things sorted but it's quite the task.

Question S22 ultra pKVM support when Android 13 drops??

I can't seem to find any information on this, but I'm curious if the new android 13 will support pKVM like the pixel devices do for the s22 series phones. I've read that 13 is supposed to be released sometime in October, but not many people are talking about the kvm support that's supposed to ship with 13.
From what I understand, Google is implementing this into their new generic kernal images, or GKIs for short. Does this mean that when 13 comes out for Samsung devices, I should have virtualization support right?
Can't find out because I just got my s22 ultra and the beta program is closed now, so I can't join. My phone is also carrier locked so I think that's another reason why.
If anyone knows if the s22 line up with get virtualization support when 13 comes out of beta, let me know cause I'd love to run win11 on my device, since it has as much ram as my win 11 desktop has lol.

While I can't speak to what Samsung plans to leave enabled in their Android 13 kernel build, I will mention that there isn't any emulated GPU acceleration in pkvm, so Windows 11 usability may be really sketchy. I had the same thought as you and was really giving some thought to the new Galaxy Z Fold, but a combination of Samsung possibly stripping out pkvm and the lack of maturity of pkvm as a platform has me holding off for now.

Fair enough, but at least if they don't strip that out, we would be able to run windows 10 because it doesn't rely on GPU acceleration as heavily as 11 does.
From what I seen in the pixel demo, 11 usability doesn't look too bad though

Can we check another device from another manufacturing have already android13 kernel if the pkvm enable or disable can you check with me??

Is there anyone checked pkvm for samsung's android 13?

I don't think samsung fork of android has pkvm support. You should build custom kernel for that.
