Hey guys.I would like to know is there any possibility to run linux on Galaxy Tab S4 with limbo emulator or any other emulator at near full speed.I am new to running linux on android so if someone could explain what kvm is and how to enable it on this device that would be awesome.Also what are the restrictions of using an emulated linux on android for example will the Wifi, Bluetooth, Or the type C connector work. Thanks

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!

Hello all,
I'm trying to figure out the best way to get a linux distro on Tab Pro 12.2.
I'm most likely going to install puppy or dsl with X support, as its smaller and quicker that most others.
so i'm looking for the fastest way to get Linux running on the Tab Pro 12.2
can I run it inside of Android? and or Dual boot?
Has anyone used Qemu or Bochs or ???
I see there's some Linux installs on google play. any of those?
Are there any other well support Linux distros that are preforming well?
Thank you!
It would be great Imo. Kernel/Samsung hardware is security enforced. ... think it is not where it needs to be. ...shame because this tablet is pretty smoking. How cool to see other Linux or puppy running on this hardware

From what i'm reading, it has a great potential to have linux on it.
I've been thinking the best way is via busybox -> chroot -> distro on SDCard so it runs inside of android?
I was thinking puppy, or Tiny core Linux, or maybe Archlinux, because they have a kernel that works with the Samsung Exynos 5420 1.9 GHz octa-core.
But i'm not to sure how I should start.
Rooting it is first thing. So that gives me chroot and busybox, right?
and busybox works with many distros, like tiny core linux, then all I need to do is get busybox to mount the SD Card with the Linux distro, and then chroot it, and start some init scripts. Do I have it right?
any help in the right direction would be appreciated!
Thank you!

I don't know what the best way to install Linux distro is but I've had some success with Linux on Android (LOA) on my Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4. Besides rooting your device you need to have SELinux set to permissive. Only way I've had success getting this setting was to flash a kernel that has it by default. Couple other things about LOA. It uses vnc so you can have a desktop enviroment. I use the app Jump for vnc. Also, as far as I know, sound does not work for LOA. LOA will install it's own version fo busybox. Here is a screenshot of Fedora running on my Pro 8.4. Anyways, I know you want to install Linux on the Tab Pro 12.2 but maybe my experience on the 8.4 will be helpful.
hello id like to know if its possible to load modules on cm11
Basically what i want to do is run kali linux and use my tp link wireless dongle on n7100, i know its possible on cm10.
Thanks a lot.
Can drivers from a Tab Pro P900 kernel be added to that of the Tab 3 10" P5200 so that this device can be support this adapter http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Original-Adapter--UP900-Galaxy/dp/B00J2N0GB4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1427201186&sr=8-1&keywords=ET-UP900 There's this user on android stack exchange that got this working by porting the LANHUB drivers to his kernel http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/98063/powered-usb-hub-not-charging-phone-kernel-options
So Im wondering if the same could be done for Tab 3. I am more than willing to buy coffee for anyone who can get this working for me as I only have access to ethernet at work and I want to use mouse and keyboard to work from my tablet. Thanks in advance.
New kernel source from open source samsung have option in menuconfig. Grab a guide set a environement and try it. So much fun
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..
