Hello. I want to ask is it possible to run ubuntu on SGTab2? I mean pure desktop ubuntu, not mobile one, nor as virtual machine. All instructions I found deals with Nexus 7. The best will be installing Ubuntu as dualboot to Android(I'm using NEXT kernel, it supports dualboot). Does anybody know how to install it? Or maybe somebody even tried it?
Thank you for answer

Thankyou, but no, not Ubuntu Touch. I asked about Ubuntu Desktop I heared that Nexus 7 users compiled VCMI(opensource version of heroes 3) right in it and are playing on their devices. I want it too Android port was abandoned more than year ago and no one pick it up...
Hello,
I have an Amlogic TV Box (G18Ref). I have installed Native linux on it using the Rom available here
I want to write software for this Linux. Any ideas how to go about it? Consider myself a complete Noob to embedded Linux development.
If the above requirement is too specific, how would I go about developing software for any Embedded Linux flavour?
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance
Hi
What exactly is the difference btwenn the android and the debian/ubuntu kernel?
Of course they are both based on the linux kernel, but where is the difference? Why does ubuntu not run with with an android kernel? Is ist only the configuration which has to be changed for getting an Android kernel to work with ubuntu? of coure, the device drivers, but they are not difficult to implement.
My big aim is to get naive ubuntu working on my tablet
Thanks for your help in Advance
Hi,
Besides PinePhone what other mobile phones are there available where I can install Fedora instead of android rom's?
I heard someone did it with Volla Phone + Fedora. However, I can't seem to find anything on installing Fedora on mobile phones. I can find Ubuntu Touch website where they detail whats supported, that's cool and all. But how to install it on mobiles for other linux distros such as Fedora? surely you can compile some kernel and install other linux distros like Fedora right?
Please help me understand.
Devices - postmarketOS

pmOS may interest you. I have never seen Fedora on a phone. pmOS is based on Alpine, but anything supported by it has a better chance of running Fedora than anything not supported by it. Some of these devices have mainline kernel support, which helps a lot with getting stuff running on it.
Hello, how to install LineageOS on Limbo ARM emulator?
I want to do some development work that needs rooted Android system compiled with ARM instruction sets. I have used several Android emulators on Android, but they all have various problems.
I don't want to use Android x86, because it is incompatible with ARM apps and will cause great performance loss.
I do not intend to root my smartphone, because I do not want to expose my smartphone to danger.
try finding a iso for it!
or tutorial for it?
I have searched for it in the web, but there are no ISOs or tutorials for it.
there is lineage os 14.1 x86 builds. or other android versions too! but i dont think they will work on the arm version. i used to use boschs back in the day with my old tab. i havent used emulators since. you could give it a try. just search android x86 on google. i remember there used to be versions of limbo that emulated x86. anywho hope it works
Running a custom Android OS ( here: Lineage OS ) in an Android based emulator like Limbo requires you need to install an Android version with a KVM enabled Kernel.

it maybe possible since android x86 iso's are availble. including lineage os 14.1
Perhaps the LineageOS development team should make installers for Limbo ARM or other ARM emulators.

i dont know. maybe you could try gsi's? using dsu sideloader? go search it up. the sucess rate on locked bootloaders and non rooted devices is very low but its worth a try.
IF YOU VOID YOUR WARRANTY SOMEHOW dont blame me please... alr got alot going on in my life rn
Thank you for your help. It seems that I have to abandon this idea currently.
By the way, Limbo x86 emulator runs as slow as a PC in 1995 on my device. (I'm using MediaTek Dimensity 810 @ 2.4 GHz with 8GB RAM.)

yeah its super slow. better abandon this. and lineage os 14.1 native bridge never worked for me. meaning that some apps wont work at all e.g. some games and will crash.
According to my research, the performance of a virtual machine in Limbo x86 emulator is equivalent to about 4.12% of the physical ARM smartphone's performance.
I said that:"I have used several Android emulators on Android.", these emulators don't have performance problems on my smartphone. These emulators are:
VMOS / VMOS Pro - You need to pay to become a member to use rooted virtual machines. Its theory is similar to Anbox.(Off Topic: Perhaps the Anbox development team can make an installer for Android.)
VPhoneGAGA - You need to pay to become a member or watch advertisements to use rooted virtual machines. Its virtual machines contains advertisements unless you are a member. The theory of this software is to rewrite linux's C functions.
F1 VM / X8 Sandbox- You need to pay to become a member to use rooted virtual machines.
V8 Box - It's free and ad-free. It provides rooted virtual machines for free. But at present, this software only supports Android 5.1. This software is only available in Chinese.
