I was wondering if it was possible to port windows xp tablet edition on HD2. I mean as far as I can tell the HD2 is capable of running windows xp. I know that this would be incredible as i have seen windows xp running on varies MID's that have minimal specs and run ex pretty decently. Any info or links I would really appreciate. it would be awsome and im sure im not the only one looking foward to somthing like this. I see linux everywhere but would love some windows
any info would be appreciated
Test with QEMU, i'm not sure but i remeber that one people launch XP (not tablet edition) in his HD2 and it was slow :/ But try
Thanks I really appreciate it
Hey there I was sitting on Twitter and suddenly @backtrack tweeted:
*POSSIBLY* the birth of BackTrack 5, Chrooted ARM edition.... touchscreen, screen keyboard all functional. Blog post to follow.

The first thing which came to my mind:
HD2 has ARM processor.
Backtrack 5 *POSSIBLY* comes with ARM support.
Ubuntu was booted on HD2.
If Backtrack is based on Ubuntu then Backtrack can be booted on HD2.

So what do You think about this idea??
Yes! I would love BT5 on the hd2! I think it's possible since it's already been implemented on the Atrix.
That be such a cool idea!
think about it, a walking talking mobile hacking machine! SICKKKKKK!
Mothers keep hiding your daughters, fathers, start hiding everything else, I'm coming "to test your network security" muhahahahaha!
okay maybe i went a little out of hand... but love the idea.. can't wait to dual boot it in with my android.
make it happen, I donate.
Any news ??? It would be great backtrack running on htc leo
But, what about a driver capable of monitor mode for the wireless card of HD2? Should it be included in BackTrack 5 ARM version?
any updates?? eagerly waiting for it!! 1 super phone in pocket would be the best thing to have....i just love LEO!!
Hello,
If you are not ever see it
http://gitbrew.org/debdroid/
i've not ever test so if anyone have test it im interest by feedback.
Thanks
I don't think this is referring to being installed on NAND. I ran BT5 on my HD2 a few days ago and it was great; however, it is an image file with a script that you execute in the terminal of Android, then you can VNC into it to see your GUI. It still ran pretty smooth, but I think it would be better if it was stable on NAND.

How did you do it? Is there a tutorial how to run BT5 on HTC HD2 directly from WM without Android somewhere or can you give an explanation?
Would be very helpful, thanks

Hello all.
So I've been around the forum for a few weeks now, and so far we have booted Kubuntu mobile, Debian, a custom Android version and Ubuntu on our devices.
Maybe they won't work completely, but the people who started it are still working on it.
Now it got me thinking.
Meego, a linux based OS developed for mobile use (example the N900 which also uses ARM chipset) created by Nokia and Intel, could, in theory, work on our devices.
At the moment I don't have any access to a PC where I can try some stuff out ( maybe in a week or so, I'm on vacation).
But maybe someone else could look into it?
I would really like to see the Handset version, and later on the Tablet version of Meego on our devices.
Dympy-
I would love that too. I have used a maemo tablet before my archos and think that meego is way better than android, so I really welcome any efforts to port it.
The openaos guys are working part time on a port but there hasn't been much to use yet.
Accidential Double Post
The guys from openaos did this already on the Archos Gen7 (A5IT)
I think they could answers many questions about this
But my opinion is, why many developers work on many projects?? Many developers on one project is way better think about this...
After owning and using an N900, I am very reluctant to have any OS developed by Nokia on any hardware. I had such a bad time with Maemo (another OS that Nokia heavily invested in and then dropped in less than a year) that I had to install a hacked Android (NITDroid) OS onto my N900.
Nokia just doesn't seem to make good software these days. I don't know if they ever did.
I think LennB is right. We need more devs working on things like Cyanogen or Ginger/Honeycomb ports. Or even full root without the need for SDE.
That's the "Problem" with open source.
Everybody thinks that his solution is "the cure" and that others are doing the wrong thing.
Thats why most OS Projects are not advancing as fast as they could or will be crap.
Look at OO vs. Libre, so much manpower wasted.
I have to disagree about more devs on one project.
The devs themselves decide what they want to develop, if anyone feels like developing Meego, he (or she) should do that.
Right now I'm reading the ARM wiki of Meego and will see if I can find anything useful.
Dympy-
This is exactly what i was just thinking! I've had my a70 for about a month and i've been busy with school i just started looking through these hacks and i've tried debian. its nice and I was about to start to try to create a ubuntu version but Meego would be much better!
Not sure how far i can get but this is going to be my goal for the summer! =)
First of all, try to build an IMG that can work with the Angström Kernel, after that, you'll be able to boot on it with the OpenAOS Boot menu ^^
Have any of you guys checked out ubuntu phone??? I think it looks gorgeous!! It would be awesome to put on our device. It even seems like it would be light weight for our phones... Tell me what ya think.

Looks neat. I'm curious if we'd even have the space for it all -- that pesky 317mb rom limit we have. If I were you, I'd keep an eye on Defy Dev forums -- if it can work on our platform, one of em will get it working.
Yea I'll be keeping an eye on it for ya it's apparently supposed to release on the 25th? I think that'll be the source.
Ubuntu seems to be very sexy OS. I would love to install it on Bravo. The Ubuntu founder said that it would be very easy to install it on android mobile phone (hmm.. very easy for whome??). I use Fedora desktop now, but who knows, maybe i will switch to Ubuntu on my PC too.
I wish they'd make desktop Ubuntu that smooth haha. I like the new Icon set and the way the apps look

I use Ubuntu based distros for a long time and none of them provides stability, performance acceptable for my needs.
So I think that will be the same story with Ubuntu Phone.
Also IMHO Canonical made a mistake posting UP news over the internet and after declaring that imgs will be available on Autumn.
Till that time Android will, probably, have 5.1 - 5.2 upgrade

I used to like Ubuntu, then I "upgraded" to 9.04. I've only used Ubuntu for about 4 hours since -- was going to use it for android dev work, but the first reboot killed my wifi and nothing I did could fix it (Ubuntu 12.10\Mint13?). Personally, imho, if you like Ubunut you should just learn to use Debian -- its Ubuntu's base and much more stable (they're "unstable" repos are rock solid for the most part, more-so than Ubuntu's stable anyways ). I wish they'd make a Debian Phone....or a Gentoo Phone -- imagine doing an emerge -e world on your phone .
Have you tried Manjaro Linux? Its my current distro of choice (though I still recommend Debian to newer Linux users). Manjaro is like Linux Mint, only based on Arch Linux. I'm using their testing repos and my only issues come from using the latest kernel (3.7.7-ck patch set), it would be rock solid if I had the common sense to stay with the stable 3.6 kernel .
//JellyX bootloops like crazy with Bravo PA, where the Quarx kernel has been rock solid (at least it has for the last 12 hours in the Defy). It'll take ~105 minutes to compile a new build, ~100 more to test and upload...be back later.
//JellyX doesn't like green lens phones -- Defy or Bravo...I've never once been able to use JellyX for more than 3 minutes w\o a boot loop . It usually doesn't even boot for me :crying:.
Yea I liked that version of linux but I run all of the gui off of my mac so i can run something nice but have my server do all the work so basically i just ssh from Mac OS X into ubuntu server (no-gui) and compile away!
And also skeevy if you could pm me with some rom creation help i would be grateful i'm trying to do some work with quarx's 2.6 kernel and getting it to boot with cm7 or even compile for that matter isn't exactly working out :/
-Also do you know a way to slim down the repo manifest so that it doesn't repo sync EVERY DEVICE KNOWN TO MAN!?!?!?
Ubuntu phone OS has just been released (according to softpedia)
sadly it's just the image no source I think :/

Its been a minute, but its possible to slim it down. I'll add it to my list when I get home this evening.
//Slim down CM7 sync
//Defy Soft Sim Unlock doesn't work (I can't test, I IMEI Sim Unlocked me Defy)
//Bravo JellyX (screw Defy users, they have it already )
//Linaro PA Builds

Had a really late day today, just got cleaned up and going to bed . Gonna have another late one tomorrow from the looks of it.
Here's the answer I received from Maniac103 on removing all the devices from CM7 about a year ago. Hope it helps.
In CM7, you need to remove the devices you're not interested in from vendor/cyanogen/products/AndroidProducts.mk; after doing that, omitting them from the checkout should work.
Ok sounds good.
is stable ubuntu for phone out,if it is out can we put it in our bravo,plese tell me i am really excited about ubuntu,..
So, I have decided to compile and get ubuntu running on our devices. I have the TMO Note 4.
If anyone has a donor device, or can give me some pointers I want to get all this running nicely.
No goal is unobtainable.
I will like to see this if we can get dual boot [emoji14]
and what about miui 6? there is recently released miui 6 patchrom. Do you know miui? I am asking you this because we are two and we want to port it but we have weak knowledge. Maybe you can help us
and this is how miui 6 look like
http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=34895&extra=page=1&page=1&mobile=no
and there are some of thousands official themes for miui

First of all i don`t think it`s nice of you to come in here and state there's no real custom roms out there for the Note 4, there's a lot of movement in the threads and developers work their butt off providing the latest and the best experience for the device. That said, let`s say i`m willing to give you a N910F donor device for development purpose, what have you got to show for it? Being a newbie ( at least your XDA account shows it ) there doesn`t seem much that shows anything worth to mention.
You sure this ain`t a cheap way of getting yourself a Note 4?

if you already have a TMO n4, why would you need a donor device?
and if dual boot works it's even easier to try it all
but porting Ubuntu does sound like a fun project, maybe you can use cm12 stuff to speed up the porting :fingers-crossed:
and i would love to help but i have no idea about porting and i'm already busy with n4 and s6 edge development
good luck though! :good:
My Apologies

My apologies, you are correct about custom roms. What I meant is we don't have MIUI, Firefox, etc. Yeah skinned versions of Android, yet some people like them.
I want to do something no one else has done, and bring something to the table.

That's all I have now is my ubuntu laptop.
What I found out is ubuntu touch is based on cm10.1.
They don't have 3g/4g/let working for some systems.
I am reading about how to compile. Hensel why I need a donor device, just in case I super brick. Bricking out my only phine would suck.
I haven't figured out how to pm, so if anyone can talk to me like via Skype, and help me learn. PLEASE!

Why would I donate you a Note 4 to brick it? lol.
Sounds like a fun project according to me. Did not heard ubuntu ported since note 2.
But have not enough money to give away a note 4.
NOTE 4 running Ubuntu/Windows10
Ladies and Gentleman,
John here, I have spent at least 5 days trying to port windows 10 to the Note 4, (turns out its not possible) windows 10 requires secure boot and bypassing this is a pain in the ass, so I've given up.... it is 5/12/2017 and I've arrived very late to this thread but I got my note 4 out of the drawer and decided to turn it into a portable Linux pc, I spent 4 weeks porting Ubuntu to the note 2 in 2015 and dropped the project because there was many issues getting all the drivers to work but so far porting Ubuntu to the note 4 is working well but it needs quite a bit of glitches to be fixed, im trying to get the 4G gsm module to work and the sound but soon this will be working great and I will share my finished product.

I have been searching for a port of Ubuntu for some time now so I was VERY excited when I saw your OP.

In the same situation as @sawdoctor I have also been trying for about a year to compile a kernel but for some reason I just can't figure it out ha. I don't have my computer with me during the day but I have my phone and plenty of time so I was looking for a way to compile the kernel source with my device. And although I obviously don't know that much about development, I figured what better way to start that running Ubuntu. It's crazy to me i couldn't find one single guide or post about how to build a kernel with the phone you want to run it on. Seems like it should be easy ha. I have have tried termux, gnu-root, cc-tools, kbox3,........you name it and I have a TB of it ha. So all rambling aside, just let me know what or if you need anything

Not at all, Ubuntu isn't sizing things properly and it's almost impossible to use the touchscreen to click buttons, can only be used with a mouse, just getting otg to work was a pain to plug in a mouse, there's some options In Ubuntu for resizing but they don't help that much.

Hmm. Well maybe resizing everything could be an acceptable approach but if windows and android have different "skins" maybe we could make a custom gnome launcher that works better with the small screen, but as far as the drivers and the kernel, is it stable, and what model have you compiled it for?

Hey bro. Any progress? i just ran across a kde plasma active installer for nexus 7 that uses multirom to flash linux to ext sd. Would it maybe be possible to adapt the script to our device being that we have EFIDroid and Multisystem?
I've been working on porting Halium (needs for Ubuntu touch now) to my device, I haven't gotten the graphics to work yet but with the work I've got done so far we could get the graphics working then get other OSes that support Halium working (I.e. plasma os, sailfish, and possibly even post market os) if your still trying to get this working let me know and I'll contribute what I can to help, I still DD my n910p cause I like the form factor of my note 4, hate the glitchy issues that sprint forced into its software though. I have gotten Ubuntu to boot to a headless system setup, but that's not useful for what my end game is, its just a step in the right direction.
