i saw that guide "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723493" running ubuntu on desire...
was wondering if it would be possible to run other distros via this method? e.g. puppy linux would be nice as it is very fast and light weight... and how well does the actual ubuntu works on desire? (does usb host work for example?)
The linux distro has to be compiled for ARM processor. If puppy linux has arm flavor, I think there's no reason not capable to run in desire.
cool thx... will try when i get my desire

i dont think their will be any basic tuts on it porting a whole os is a trick business. Although you could use some kind of remote desktop perhaps

Windows with eclipse works fine.
Edit: For a bit more help.
I dont know if you running 32 or 64 bit, but those links are the download pages.

The only time I would recommend choosing windows over Linux is if you are a hardcore computer gamer (and based on your computer not being "the fastest thing in the world" I would assume you are not...). Linux will be quicker, more powerful, and much easier to configure. Try Ubuntu and Linux mint 12. I prefer Linux mint. Its usually more user-friendly and more compatible with most things and is built off the Ubuntu source so you can run Ubuntu specific apps/programs. Linux is also a safer software to run bases on the file structure and cosing as far as viruses/spyware are concerned. And Linux is free. Did I mention that you should be running Linux?

Hi everybody
I have windows xp sp3 and Ubuntu 11.10 installed on my computer
I need help in setting up my building environment for android.
I want to download and compile android 3.2 source code (honeycomb, and don't ask why )
Which OS is better to set the building environment on ? winxp or Ubuntu
Btw I prefer windows because Ubuntu is slow on my computer.

I Think your supposed to use ubuntu because android is built using linux (ubuntu)
i have win7 and ubuntu is slow on mine aswell it takes a while to do stuff

Hello, everybody. Does our device has Linux distributions? Ubuntu Tuch not interested.

I don't want to troll, but Android is already Linux based.
So i've seen Firefox OS ports, and maybe an Ubuntu desktop port, but i'm not remember where.
Sorry.
Edit : I've tested on my devices "Complete Linux Installer" In fact it will chroot any purposed distros. Maybe it will help you ?
VP.
linux loves the nexus 7!
Yes there are linux ports for Android, but specifically for the Nexus 7 well that is a different story...
There are linux ports like debian linux, ubuntu linux, fedora linux, and arch linux that you can install with a very nice app called "complete linux installer" which can be downloaded from the google play store.
Now those versions of linux run on top of android in a chroot environment.
However, if you want a security based linux operating system then there is a really cool project going on right now called "kali pwnpad" which is based off of "PwnPad" from the great guys over at pwnie express -> https://www.pwnieexpress.com/penetr...ity-assessment-products/sensors/pwn-pad-2014/
Now if you are like me and don't have/want to spend $1,000+ dollars for a PwnPad tablet (basically a modified nexus 7 2013) then you can head over to the XDA thread for Kali PwnPad here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2577356
That thread will show you how to install Kali PwnPad on your Nexus 7 2013 tablet and you can go directly into Kali Linux (aka Backtrack Linux) through any of the apps which will put you into a chroot linux environment. A big bonus is you can use usb wifi devices or multiple usb devices with Kali PwnPad so you can use linux programs like, aircrack-ng, wifite, kismet, metasploit, openvas. social-engineering toolkit, and others!
That project is a lot of fun, and Kali PwnPad has just added bluetooth to its latest kernel so you can now use bluetooth usb devices for all of your bluetooth hacking needs. Devices like -> ubertooth-one, and the Parani-UD100
Also...don't be so quick to dispose of Ubuntu Touch. There is a lot of work being done with Ubuntu Touch for the Nexus 7 2013 and it is a lot of fun to use!
I hope this has been helpful. and if you have any questions on Kali PwnPad drop by thread and ask us a question!

Hey all. Ever since I learned about the ZF2 and it running on an Intel CPU/SoC vs a typical ARMv7 or ARMv9-based CPU/SoC this idea came to mind. Would it possible to develop a pure Linux (non-Android) based OS/ROM for this device? I run Funtoo Linux (a Gentoo derivative) on one of my desktops and now on a laptop I'm sharing with my brother, and it works great. Having this (or something Ubuntu-based to ease on pkg installs via binaries vs compiling from source for everything) on a phone this powerful would be awesome as well. Besides drivers for baseband / bootloader (of which I know is currently locked at the moment I'm posting this thread) how difficult would this be to accomplish? Does this device boot with EFI? I'd think compiling a kernel for it would be easier than a typical Android kernel since Intel spec is easier to compile for... I'm no developer, but that's my take on it.
Thoughts?
