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.

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.

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? =]
Fedora has released Fedora-17-beta-armhfp-xfce, a system image compatible with Tegra devices. A kernel image is not included. So, my first question is: Are there any kernels being tweaked and developed by xda members that are compatible with the the Fedora release? If not, it appears from the many posts in the forums asking about Linux on arm tablets that there is a void to be filled.
I for one want to be free of big brother "Google" and regain not only full control over my device, but my privacy too. Richard WM Jones describes how he installed Fedora on a Trim Slice with Tegra processors. rwmj.wordpress.com/2012/02/29/trim-slice-pt-3/ Can't this be done with the Xoom using a hacked kernel being tweaked/developed by an xda member? Is a kernel already available with drivers that make the Xoom's hardware fully functional in a Fedora installation?
Can the "U boot" ROM supplied with the Slice be ported to the Xoom? We need help from knowlegeable, experienced developers here at xda to make the possibilities a reality.
Thanks,
Armido

Fedora does not replace android but can be installed.

May 26, 2013: The short answer is apparently no. Not even Ubuntu Touch will replace the android core. However a growing number of linux distributions can be installed using installers like 'Linux Installer' downloadable for free from GooglePlay. This includes Fedora. What is the point of having Ubuntu Touch on tablets if the rich, robust and numerous existing linux programs will not run on Ubuntu Touch?
The title says it; Is there a way to make P3110 run Linux natively [chroot free]?
P3110 is ARM and there is allot of Linux distributions compatible with it like Ubuntu or arch even kali linux, but the problem is with the kernel, some devices received official Linux like galaxy note 10.1 got an official kali, some were successful installing unofficial builds to other devices but the Internet failed me when I searched for P3110....
Does anyone know if some was able to do such a thing? If not does anyone know of a good reading materials to do so? I think it's a good project if some expert can adopt it!
Thanks in advance
We have rooted devices running chrooted linux easily avaliable. That got me thinking. I have a shield TV, and want to do some kernel hacking. There's linux with native aarch64 support, so why not just work in the chroot? Anyone ever compiled android kernels on a native arm processor? I'm wondering if I'd still need to cross compile, or if maybe I could just use native compile tools. Thanks for reading, hope we can get this moving. I'm hoping to get this thing a custom kernel for better Linux support, and maybe some overclocking if possible.
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.
