Should be no problem right? I know I can install ADB on ubuntu and get it all setup and if all else fails I could always go with wine for almost whatever I need but I was just curious if anyone knows if I'd run into errors with android/shift installing ubuntu over windows...has to work cause ubuntu = linux android = linux based
Disregard...I have sdk set up and all is well..going to see if I can dev anything now no promises and I've got some experience in coding but I'm no bcnice or mik..mod plz delete thread

After searching for this and coming up short on answers (found a lot of questions), I reside to asking the question here.
I tried to start developing android applications today and thought it would be quite seamless procedure. I had read how developer friendly android was supposed to be. However to me it seems quite far from the truth I have yet to find a way to run eclipse+adt on my win7 64bit without epic lags and crashes.
Is eclipse better in ubuntu or am I doing something completely wrong with my setup. Because currently it seems more easy to configure dual boot than to make eclipse work.
I use the following setup:
win 7 x64
Java SDK 1.6 x64
Latest android SDK
Eclipse 3.5.2
Latest ADT
Hi, I don't have any suggestions for running eclipse in win 7..however I do also run win7/ubuntu.
I highly recommend using sun virtualbox on windows 7 to install ubuntu . I do this, and use eclipse on ubuntu. Works great. With very little work, you can run full screen after starting your virtual box and it's nearly identical to dual booting.
good luck getting windows 7 to work, I've meant to install eclipse but since ubuntu has been working so well.. i haven't had a need.
Thanks a lot for the answer. Very appreciated.
Seems like a really smart way to avoid the hassle of installing dualboot. Going to try it later today.

Im using this solution to run jdownloader, a local webserver, and to compile arm sources without any toolchain ( a bit more comfortable ).
You have to know, that this isnt rly fast compared to native ubuntu but its an easy solution..
Requirements:
-> Rooted Iconia A500(1)
-> Terminal Emulator ( some other shell )
Step by Step:
1) Download this package and extract it to /sdcard/ubuntu
2) Follow the installation steps in the linked orginal post.
DO NOT INSTALL THE CUSTOM KERNEL THERE!!!
Im using Jump Desktop as VNC Viewer because its a great App supporting Usb Mouse with Left and Right Click.
Do you want JDownloader running on your Tablet?
1) run apt-get install openjdk-6-jre
2) Download JDownloader MULTIOS Package from their site
3) cd to the extracted directory
4) run java -jar JDownloader.jar
Do you want to access your android system?
1) simply go to /android
You are on a ICS Rom and rightclick doesnt work? (USB Mouse)
1) apt-get install xbindkeys xbindkeys-config xdotools
2) xbindkeys-config
3) im using ctrl+left click as right click so input event is: ctrl+b:1
4) mapped event: xdotools click 3
5) add xbindkeys to autostart (for example with chrome startup application)
Interesting. Thanks for sharing
You might just as well use Linux Installer from the market...
EDIT: It can do both ubuntu and debian (stable/unstable).
This vs LinuxInstaller
I tried using the LinuxInstaller method and while it worked it wasn't as smooth as this. I used it to try to install Ubuntu 11.04 and it install Ubuntu, but headless and I had issues using LinuxInstaller's provided methods for install VNC, SSH, etc.
So far this method appears to be running smoothly, Ubuntu was install, VNC and SSH both installed, now I am just waiting for Gnome to install.
In the end they probably both work equally as well, but I am personally having more success with this method
Linux installer doesnt work on my device correctly
This only seems to be for Ubuntu 11.04.
Linux Installer only seems to support Ubuntu 9.04.
Did anybody try Ubuntu Installer Free by ZPwebsites? It seems to have a stable Ubuntu 12.04 install available from 26th April onwards.
EDIT: Doesn't look like my rooted ICS OTA 1.033 ROM meets the requirements.

I'm using Backtrack ARM in chroot and it goes pretty well. I'm able to use it with a bluetooth mini keyboard/mouse combo + hdmi on my 40" TV

Which method did you use to install Backtrack? The one in the first post, or some app?

No there is a topic in the development called "backtrack and office" or something like this.
Simply search for backtrack in the dev section. ;-)

Hey guys, i wanted to ask if anyone had managed to install windows or ubuntu images on our Defy with CM7 running on it.
If yes can u help me telling me the steps so i can make it too?
thanks in advance and sorry for my english
i heard that someone run Ubuntu on his phone, but it's very difficult to use it, because of touchscreen interface. I think that running windows is impossible on this phone, except some WP7 mods i would suggest staying on Android
Yep, I have run Ubuntu. It is basically run by mounting an ubuntu image to a loop device mount point. And the GUI is accessed using vnc. Dunno about windows!
You can also try out windows..bt its just windows 95 desktop version..
And pretty easy to achieve

In that I got an idea, took the first step, and am now completely out of my depth.
Let me start at the beginning.
I've always wanted to get into android development, but with the departure of CosmicDan, my recent format of my home computer, and a lucky shot at taking a general development class have all culminated to suggest now's the time.
Here's my objective: Dualcore desktop computer, dualbooting Windows 8 and a flavor of linux focused entirely on being an android toolkit. Here's my problem: I used linux for a week in my highschool networking class most of a decade ago. Red Hat 7 or 8, maybe? Anyway, I know virtually nothing except what I've osmosed from using an ADB shell.
I need to know which flavor of linux is best for android dev, how to set up a dual boot, and after that point, probably step-by-step instructions on establishing a build environment and using github. I'm not completely useless at this, I know how to use google, but a lot of information is outdated and this is a somewhat situational goal.
ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!
Ubuntu!
And google Ubuntu google installer

Ubuntu is more user friendly but if you want development I would suggest 1: backtrack 2: arch Linux (for advanced users) 3: fedora

Apparently Backtrack is called Kali Linux now...
"It includes support for the Metasploit Project's Metasploit Framework, a tool for developing and executing exploit code against a remote target machine.[2] It also includes the security tools Wireshark, John the Ripper, Nmap and Aircrack-ng.[2]"
Hahaha hell yes I'll take some of that.
I still think I'll need to install Ubuntu - I don't know how I'd put this particular build on a flash drive. Installing it from inside ubuntu would probably be easiest.
EDIT: Actually they have excellent instructions on the website for setting up a flashdrive.
im using ubuntu just fine
im on ubuntu 10.04 i compile builds fine
Use the Ubuntu wubi installer for dual boot

Okay, Kali Linux is installed and operational, programs are updated, and I even figured out how to install Flash via the mysterious powers of 'apt-get'. Using Grub for dual boot, and I found my way around configuring it and populating a new cfg file via the terminal. Whew.
Perhaps 4/20 was a bad choice for learning a new and notoriously complex OS, or maybe it was the best choice.
I guess I'm ready to set up a kitchen, but now I need input again. Do I just 'apt-get' some magical box of android goodies, or is this process more involved?
Edit: The answer is 'more involved', but not by much. I got the kitchen from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246 and I was even able to independantly apt-get my way out of an error without googling it! So, it's running... I guess it's time to start cutting up a ROM. I'm inclined to believe CyanogenMod would be the best starting point for that, and I'm doublefortunate that my roommate has a Nexus he's willing to let me experiment on, as I don't want to navigate the unique structure of Xperias yet.
I want to turn my pixel 4 into a dedicated webserver that can run nginx.
If possible maybe a full installation of debian? Any suggestions or tips? Closest thing i've found is lildebi
