[Q] How can I install ubuntu or other linux on my hTc Wildfire?

Good day,
I want to setup ubuntu or debian on my wildfire
please help me!
Thanks a lot.
(sorry for same topic!)

Uhhm Ubuntu is a OS for Desktop Computers..
I think its impossble to install it on a mobile device ..

everything is possible..
But it is probably not worth the work, it is really alot of work included to do anything like that.. and I dont think it would run smoothly either

[Q] Android ROM Development Help

To answer the question that everyone is thinking as they click on this thread... Yes, I am a noob.
Anyway, I downloaded the Android Kitchen and installed it on a Linux Ubuntu Virtual Machine on my Macbook using VMWare Fusion and i watched a video from theunlockr, but all it really let me do was add in apps, change the rom name and give it a few features but no visual customizations... If i posted a link of the "My ROM" no one would be able to tell a difference in the rom i planned on starting from.
Let me know if there is a different way to create that is actually making ROMs or customizing the ROM in it's entirety instead of small unnoticeable features, let me know if I'm just doing something wrong in my Android Kitchen and let me know if theres an easy way to develop ROMs on Mac without Virtual Machines. (The last one isn't a big worry because linux is very lightweight and runs fine on my computer but please help me on the other two questions)
Thanks in advance,

[Q] request for a guide to run any Distro from scratch on HD2

i dont really knw if its out there,bt i couldnt find it
i want to run redhat on my HD2 as m learning linux on it in my college,i found plenty of guides for several destros here,bt i couldnt find anythin abt redhat
now since i dont wanna ask any of the already busy xda developers to make one just so that i want it, can any1 PLEASE upload an universal guide to run ANY linux distro on hd2?? it wld be helpful to every1
thank you very much(for all the things my hd2 can do ryt now,and will be able to do in future coz of xda )

First, you need RedHat support ARM
Second, compile your own kernel...

ok thanks,so ubuntu that these mighty helpful developers of xda have uploaded was compatible with arm7??
i can try my hand on kernel i think....

Sorry for late answer, but this might be helpful to someone.
HTC-Linux wiki has guide on running any gnu/linux you want on HD2. You just need to replace Ubuntu rootfs with one of your desired distro.
(I would post a link but have written too few posts. So just google "htc-linux.org" and search for page Ubuntu/Leo)

[Q] How to build/make a custom rom for U8800 pro?

Hello guys!
You may laugh at this but after I got my U8800 pro last week and done with all the modding (rooting,installing custom roms), I decided I would like to make a custom rom for my phone. I have in mind to make an ICS rom cuz I don't see a really active development for the U8800 pro. I know it's hard,but I am really good with computers (considering my age). I can use windows pretty well and have a good knowledge of linux(have installed and used for some time ubuntu,opensuse and chakra linux). I have some basic knowledge of programming.I know python 3.2 and VB.Net 2010. I have searched a little and found guides about building ICS from source (all for ubuntu) but I get some errors in fresh installed ubuntu 11.10 64bit.
Do you have any guide/tutorial that would be good for me to study?
thanks in advance!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I know nothing about building custom ROMs, but my first advice to you is use Ubuntu 10.04 64bits... almost all tutorials are for this version of Ubuntu, as it is the recommended environment by google
