tho its outdated i still use Irc for alot of stuff.. since android is linux based is it possible to port the eggdrop bot to work on android?

Hey guys.. I've seen Linux being run on other Pocket PCs.. is there a way to get Linux running on the Mogul? I don't mean as a permanent OS to be run I just wanted to try it out.
afaik, no one has yet built a stable linux release for any pocket pc phone. There have been attempts, but they are weak at best when it comes to functionality. some of them can't get past the command line or don't support the sound, etc...
So, the short answer is: no.
Also, in the future it would be better to add a question mark to your title so ppl know its a question and not a statement!
I entered the thread thinking you had found or developed linux for the mogul!
...would be awesome
like Dishe said, I've yet to see this successfully happen. while this would be cool, I think it would be more feasible to hope for some new cooked wm6 roms first, which people ARE working on. just be patient!
The following link has info on getting Linux running on many different Pocket PCs, unfortunately no progress has been made on the Mogul that I am aware of.

If Debian can run on the G1 (http://www.saurik.com/id/10) could this http://mojo.handhelds.org/hasty-armv6el-vfp mobile version of ubuntu work? According to this page (http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=cpu&id=a7201a) the G1 CPU is compatible with ARMv6. I don't know if I have enough linux knowledge to pull it off, but I got root on my g1 and would really like to try it out, especially if it can run alongside Android.
Any benefit to using Ubuntu over debian when you arent going to be able to use many/if any of the ubuntu specific differences due to a lack of GUI atm?
This is coming from a casual ubuntu user, but debian is still the daddy.
because its based of debian, and mabey s/he just likes having sudo make it so anyone can with an account can do anything they want on it..
possible
I found this a while back but cant verify. seems to be possible, hope someone experienced tries it out and reports back:

ubuntu on my g1
I'm going to try installing it on my g1 tomorrow. I'll keep you guys updated. I got debian and lxde to work before but it was annoying so this time I'm going to follow slashdot and install either Enlightenment or maybe BlackBox or AfterEffects as guis. I think any of those would be a lot cooler looking on an arm phone. Lxde was too windows looking for me. Stay tuned...
please check out my thread on running native os's like debian, ubuntu, openmoko NATIVELY by dual booting

heya,
I was looking around the forums and i found this -

It was a port of warcraft 2, i saw a video of it in action and it looked amazing. I was wondering do you think anytime in the near future we will be seeing anything like this on the g1? i know a port of linux is on the g1 but will that open windows to more ports like this?
munky.
Since the source of doom has been out for a while now, it could be done pretty easily. Warcraft? Probably not. Although, I'm sure we will be able to boot into windows mobile eventually from our g1s.

The G1 runs Android, and that has always been built on Linux. What is required to get Linux apps working is a mix of providing the environment they expect to run (e.g. if they are expecting to draw to a window manager, or if they need opengl, etc), adapting of controls, and tweaks to get compiling with arm.
Hey Folks,
I was wondering if anyone knew if it was possible to use Jython instead of plane Java for android development? I don't know much about Java development but I'm with Python. I was figuring that this might ease me into it better. Any thoughts?
Thanks,

Have you had a look at the Android scripting environment?

Thanks aksd,
I don't know how I didn't find that before. Perhaps I should have just searched for Python and Android as opposed to just Jython and androind.
Anyway, this is very cool for prototyping and simple scripting. However, the main thing I was hoping for was writing apps in Python (via Jython) that could then be distributed on the Marketplace. It's kind of to bad. It doesn't look like anyone is really trying to port Jython to Android because ASE is sort of Google's official response to the whole thing. On the whole, a really great thing for people who just want to script Android but not really for App development.
In all of this searching I did find some interesting information about how to link in C libs so you could code some of the hardcore speed sucking elements in C (like a game engine) and then make calls into it via Java. I didn't know that was even possible so... Pretty cool stuff.
Hey ngrava,
I'm not much into scripts, so dont really follow whats happening with scripting and Android.
If you wanted a bit of a performance gain you can use the NDK and call the JNI to execute native libraries or code. been there for awhile but few use them. Java is just so much easier than C .
Theres a lot of interesting stuff going on on the Android platform, Mono being ported to Android, Scala being ported to Android, I'm actually currently working on profiling the performance of scala code on android.

On the Google DevFest on Argentina, Google´s ingeneers afirmed that they are working to make more languages availeable on Gingerbread, they specifically mentioned Ruby. We just have to wait to see if this is true and if we are going to be able to ship apps of other languages to the market, and I´m not sure if they will be backwards compatible with earlier versions of android as well.
PD: Oops, sorry for reviving this old post, I just realised i clicked last page instead of next
I've looked around on stack overflow and other places trying to find answers. I have software I want to install on my phone so I can more easily chat, send files, links, etc. on LANs that I work within throughout my day. This program works well for me: https://www.beebeep.net/download
I can use this on my windows and linux boxes. I want to integrate my phones into this communications array.
I'm looking at the snapcraft or any of the other linux variants. I can't figure out how to run a linux app on droid.
I can ssh through the terminal and so on. I can perform other functions that one normally does in BASH though now that I think of it, I haven't tried crontab. Anyway, how could I get this BeeBeep script to work on my android? Can anyone help solve this problem?
I have not seen anything on this, but very interested in this Linux development...
I did see an XDA section for only Ubuntu Touch...
I don't know about direct onto android but apparently it can be done to Chromebooks and I know that android apps can be converted to work on Chromebooks too so perhaps it can be reversed?
https://www.androidcentral.com/how-install-linux-apps-your-chromebook
So basically if an app could be converted to work on a Chromebook could it then be further converted to work on Android?
Seems like a long shot but you never know.
I've seen Windows apps / games work on Android, I've had Wolfenstein, quake arena and doom 3 ports on my phone so I would assume that Linux being a much closer cousin to Android would be an easier chore.
What you need is a framework to do the work for you, not to emulate but to directly port..
Can't find much online but I think if you dig enough you may find something
Certainly interesting though, best of luck pal.
If I find something, I'll post in development. This is a backburner project, but clearly it's one I need to take on myself. Thanx for your responses.
