It's possible to have native Linux with a grub like menu to choose to boot Android or Linux in Zenfone?
I've tested Linux Deploy with VNC and framebuffer, but i would prefer native linux with touch capabilities, it's important for developing some software.

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
For those of you who managed to install a linux distribution on android, is it possible to use aircrack?
I want to install linux on android for aicrack but the process is somewhat complicated so I would like to know if it's working at all?
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!

Hi everyone. I looking for debian or ubuntu native boot with multiroom.
It is possible? i find this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-7-2013/general/unofficial-archlinuxarm-release-n7-2013-t2969301 the arch linux arm native. I can compile android kernel and i have basic knowledge about linux environment.
Can who tell me in basic steps how i can create zip package and run linux on my Nexus 7 2013 flo?
I waiting for replies.

Hello everyone.
As in subject, I'm looking for a KVM Enabled Kernel, to flash on my device.
I'm looking for:
1) File to download
2) Commands to FastBoot
3) A way to ensure it works
Thanks in advance for any help.
Bye, Ivano.
P.S.: I forgot to mention, it's a ZE551ML Z00AD
P.P.S.: Nevermind, I successfully flashed KVM on device, but I can't use it on Limbo yet (I get an error about missing modules, but they're there).
Any help greatly appreciated.
I never got limbo to work, I have exact same model you have (Z00AD) and I've got kvm working with QEMU.. Limbo doesnt detect kvm properly it doesn't see the kernel modules loaded..
Theres a few guides on here how to use QEMU but as a VERY rough idea on what you need to do is:
Install a chroot linux on the phone (I used Linux Deploy to set up Ubuntu with Xterm)
After chroot setup, install qemu-kvm with apt. And on the Android OS install aSpice client from play store
Move the install images/hdd images to the phone storage (if preinstalled os hdd with Virtualbox or something)
Launch qemu with --enable-kvm and -cpu host to get kvm working, adjust other options as needed
Sorry for such a quick write up I'm busy atm, can help more later
My problem is that gpu won't work with chroot
You wont get gpu access with chroot, some devices have GPU's that have some support but unfortunately our
specific PowerVR chips dont have support.. using QEMU with kvm will allow you to still use all other parts of your hardware, and using spice will allow the use of the QXL video driver that provides some basic acceleration in the guest.
Either that or in the chroot compile and build your own version of qemu with -virglrenderer enabled, but the virgl option is very beta and may not work
Edit: Limbo is just a front end to QEMU so you wont have any new features that qemu doesn't have.. just Limbo is a port of qemu that's stripped down to work on Android
In this case, I don't need this anymore.
Thanks for your help.
What kind of 3D software/GPU needy task are you needing? Because in theory I've read that a linux chroot may still have some graphics acceleration on android devices due to some linux device firmware has OpenGL ES support (which is what runs on android devices, a subset of standard OpenGL) but how I personally am not sure.. I know there is GL4ES that supposed to allow OpenGL calls to be converted/linked to OpenGL ES calls but you would have to compile it from source as it's aimed at arm hardware..
