Dear XDA forum,
So I came from a galaxy note 3 where I did run linux but it was rooted. Since rooting gets rid of some functions on my galaxy note 7 I decided to use gnuroot debian which allows linus to run ontop of andriod via a P-root instead of a chroot. I have got blender running and it works (using Spen as a mouse/stylus). I have several hpc computing applications such as calculix, C++/Python IDE and compilers and scilab which all have arm based versions so It would run native on my SD820. So my question to those who have used this is:
Is it a full desktop variant of debian which is up to date?
How can I get a gui using x server and how do I give it access to device cpu/gpu, and sensors fully to be used with said applications?
Is this possible without root?
I just don't want to loose out on several note 7 features and knox features since I would loose them if I root.

I recently stumbled upon this native linux effort on the note 10.1 and it's already made decent progress. Given the hardware similarity to our beloved 8.0 it seems that this can be ported over without too much pain. I'll be giving a n8 boot image a go when I have some solid time to devote but interested in any thoughts.
Kali also released a boot image for use in recovery partition to "dual boot" android / linux.

Is there a way to Dual Boot Windows 10 and Android on Tab S4?
I have the AT&T version

No, not possible.
There's some initial Linux development (See Linux on DeX thread) limited to Ubuntu at present... Like ramer said you'll never get windows on the s4 but one day you may be able to dual boot w Linux and even now you can use Ubuntu within Android
and run windows 10 under qemu?

I haven't seen anyone try that yet. I think that even if the tab s4 had the archetecture needed to run Windows 10, running it in a virtual machine inside Linux inside Android would decrease the user experience to a great degree. For serious work, I would suggest one of the Surface machines.
But as an experiment to run Windows on ARM64 I think it's cool
I think we can all agree that Samsung's build of Android is.. well.. ****. So much crapware and stuff you don't need. Is there any way to get a pixel like experience on this tablet? Roms, mods, Xposed modules etc? All I want is a stock Android tablet with s pen so I can draw!

I'm waiting for a cool custom ROM for my Tab S4 as well. The most annoying thing for me is that Sasmung doesn't roll out monthly updates for this device.
There are some modified stock ROMS for the Tab S4 available at XDA. You can find them easily by using the search function.
I still use an original Sasmung stock ROM but I debloated it using ADB over USB. I googled for "debloat samsung galaxy" and found some information on how to debloat a Galaxy S8 using an USB cable and the adb software. But the procedure is technically the same for (all?) Samsung devices.
I used AppInspector to determine the apps that I want to debloat and wrote a little linux bash script that I used to debloat my Tab S4 and my Note 9.
If you don't like the Samsung Experience launcher you can install another one.

I dont think custom roms for S4 will ever happen (look at S3 section). Btw you have already many custom roms in treble section
I have been trying to use my Google Pixel XL (Marlin) too jailbreak iOS devices using the arm64 version of checkra1n exploit using the Terminux app however when I'm using my Pixel which is Magisk rooted and using a custom Kernel (I have tried EX and Kirisaiura) on Android 10, It seems to linger and then throw errors -21, 28 and -78.
I have looked up these errors on the projects GitHub issues page and noted that most of the people who get these errors are people using older RaspberryPi models.
I'm not sure why but I can't seem to get it too work, on the YouTube guides/tutorials on even on the threads on here talking about running the exploit on an iOS device using an Android device they are using varying models of Samsung and Sony phones - are there maybe missing drivers which allow the phone to 'see' the iOS devices in DFU mode? Is it maybe the Kernals I have tried?
Im unsure and stuck but am keen to find an answer to will attempt any information people throw my way.
Thanks for reading!
- Ian.
checkra1n can't run on kernel 3.xx environment, you must use device with kernel 4.xx
Ah, right - thanks for the answer.
Follow-up question: is Kernal 4.xx available/ever going to be possible on this device?
Hi all,
As we know MS has released and has been maintaining an ARM version of Windows for a while now, I was curious if anyone knew if it was possible to dual boot the ARM version? If dual booting isn't an option, what would be the best way to run it? I'm not worried about performance as such, as it's not something I plan to really use until KVM is supported for more than the pixel anyway, I was purely looking to test and see how it would look on such a device.
Any recommendations would be appreciated.
Dual booting is 99.999% won't work - the ARM image maintained by Microsoft is incredibly limited and lacks a lot of drivers, drivers that one would need to write from scratch, since they don't exist for Windows.
Virtualizing it would be possible on Android 13's new built in emulation stack, but you'd still need to root the phone for that, and beyond losing warranty in many places, you'd also lose access to a number of functions.
Has anybody on the Android 13/OneUi 5 Beta managed to root their device and try if the KVM feature works on the Z Fold 4?
