Hello Friends,
I am wondering if anyone has heard of emulating a Linux operating system locally on Windows Mobile (CE)? Something like PocketDOS but running a basic Linux operating system instead of DOS? I read about Bochs (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=291899), which may boot a Linux image, but from I've read Bochs doesn't work too well with newer Windows Mobile?
I know I can use Putty (SSH) or VNC and such for remote Linux access, but the goal here is to get some basic version of Linux running locally. I'm not sure Haret's Android port is ready for prime time yet (from what I've read) on my specific phone (Touch Pro 2)
Does anyone have any ideas?
Is it possible to dual boot kit Kat and android? Does our device support linux?

kitkat is android 4.4. the latest firmware is 4.4.2. android is a variant of linux.
dual boot kitkat and linux - i'm not sure.

There are projects to install linux on android in various ways or to install software similar to linux desktops.
In principle, they should work on our device. But, I have tried a few, with no luck. I guess it is
because the Samsung firmware is modified. It seems to be a question of permissions.
I tried debian kit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2737935. I have
made a bit of progress since then, but it still does not work.
I tried both botbrew and botbrew basil. Neither of these worked. Always 'permission denied'.
As I said in the thread above, sometimes 'shell' can do things that 'root' cannot. Someone with
a different Samsung device was unable to install debian kit, but could do it after flashing cyanogenmod.
I want to retain S pen capabilities, so I don't want to do this. But if all these problems are really
due to the Samsung ROM....
There are some methods that don't require root. I have not tried these yet. You can look on the play store.
One difference is if you install linux in a chroot environment, or if it has access to the android files.
debian kit requires root and is not dual boot and not chroot. The
linux software is visible along with android binaries while debian kit is switched on.
I am also looking for flexible ways to transfer files over USB. No luck yet. E.g. I want to maintain a mirror of
a directory from a linux desktop to the device. Wifi is slower and not always available. There is an
app Ftp Server that allows you to ftp over USB using port forwarding with adb. Together with lftp,
this should provide a solution. But, this also fails for me. I can't be sure it is a Samsung problem.
I'd like to see an explanation of the relevant differences between Samsung and plain android.

Hi, I do not have access to a Windows PC, so was wondering if anyone knows/has figured out how to use OS X or some form of linux to root the G4.
Thanks.
d oyou go to school or have access to library? SAFEST method would be to eaither download programs required and just go to a public windows library and root from there. IF that cant be done, next best thing is to try windows on linux with Virtual maching or using Wine. same thing with Mac OS, get a virtual machine that acts as windows
Zion Lion, did you ever find any resources for rooting on a non-Windows machine? I have a mac and libraries (at least locally) don't allow you to plug anything in to their computers, and I'm not going to purchase a license for Windows just to root a phone.
i wanted to install linux on my device [zuk z2 plus (zui 3.5 Android 8.0)]
i tried Linux deploy but it tells me that i need to root my device
so i searched for another way and i found some apps:
First Limbo pc emulator)
i tried it by downloaing linux img but it's completely slow
slow in running , slow in installing , even slow in live install
and almost it makes error in installing software
Second: Debian noroot
i thought by the name it will work with me
and i think that Debian is a kind of linux
so i tried it and it didn't work with me , It is worth to be mentioned that I tried it on (Sam note 4) and it work so good!
i don't know is the problem in my Android version or in my device or what?
Finally : Gnuroot Debian
it even didn't open with me
but in (Sam note 4):
it open a black screen because i think it was a terminal emulator and i tried to link it with X server but it didn't work.
i know that the reason why Gnuroot didn't work with me is my Android version ?
anyone can help?
Is it possible to get more information on a 2013 Nexus 7 recovery process on a Mac? I started the process but am confused to how to complete the process.
Also, I get a Google error when I try to open the following link.

I’m a Mac user, but gave up trying from OS X/MacOS. I run a Windows 10 VM (VMware Fusion) on my iMac, and then use Nexus Root Toolkit. It is VASTLY easier than trying to do everything from console. Google “Nexus Root Toolkit” and check it out.
