Hey guys.
I'm a young developer from germany and today I'm gonna show you how to compile CyanogenMod 6 (based on 2.2 FROYO) for our GT-i5800.
I'd do these things on my own and upload the finished rom, but I got very little amount of free time at the moment...
Anyways, I've prepared a script for you that does it all automatically :
- getting required packages
- getting CyanogenMod's source code
- sync the repo
- pull the required files from our phones
- getting the RomManager
SO HERE ARE THE STEPS :
| THIS GUIDE IS FOR UBUNTU ONLY |
STEP 0 . Ensure ADB is working correctly.
Run
Code:
./ adb devices
and see if there is something like
(NUMBERS xxxxxxxx) device
if so, proceed to step 1!
STEP 1 . Make the script executable.
Run
Code:
[PATH TO THE FOLDER CONTAINING THE SCRIPT]chmod a+x CyanogenMod.sh
STEP 2. Run the attached CyanogenMod6.sh.
STEP 3. Flash the generated update.zip via CWM recovery
[big thx to mumbzover !]
If there are errors while running the script, please post a detailed error report in here.
AND HAREE, please move this to the dev section. Cause i cannot post there
Hi..did you manage to port it with everything working?
Well, what about the apollo device ?
No ... saidly I haven't tried this on my own because my free time is very limited at the moment.
But I want you guys to try it out !
@Dharamg3 I think it should work with both, GT-i5800 and GT-5801 apollo.
I will try to get my own hands on this in a few days ...
BTW I'm building on Ubuntu 10.04 in VMWare with Mac OS Lion as host.

mate, sorry to disappoint you, but this method wont work...it is not so easy
you need to build an apollo device from scratch...marcellusbe is already working on it, and is at a very good point already...

as it's froyo (2.2) based it might work, marcellusbe is working on CM7 with gingerbread (2.3) which is far more work.

CM6 is a very nice Rom as well...
Talking bout easy feasibility, if it was, we'd have got it long ago..
Porting Just a theme involves tons of efforts, this is a full Cyanized AOSP rom !

This rom actualy work?
Sent from my GT-I5800 using XDA App
So it is working on I5800 ? i can't try becouse i have windows on my pc

Not working for our phone, haven't you read the thread? There are a few devs working to get CM6 done, just wait
ok I'm waiting....
now I need to wait 10 years "repo sync" and I can Finally start build the rom. If it will work I tell you.
btw. I had a lot of problems with "repo" it wont to work, always command not found, so I needed to run commands manually with edited path to "repo".
My guide. (It worked for me to 14th. step)
If you guys going to install ubuntu you need to install sun-java6-sdk package.
sudo apt-get update (without this line you can not download java sdk)
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-sdk
sudo apt-get install curl
1. download android SDK save it somewhere. (e.g.: /home/Erik/andSDK)
2. open terminal, locate your folder with android SDK with tools folder (e.g.: cd /home/Erik/andSDK/tools)
3. type this commands into terminal: sudo chmod 777 ./android now type ./android now you can see the user interface of android SDK and emulator. Chose Available packages install every package (third-party too)
4. if you have every package, close the window, and return to the terminal
5. type: cd ../platform-tools
6. now place the CyanogenMod6.sh to this folder (/home/Erik/andSDK/platform-tools)
7. run the script: ./CyanogenMod6.sh
8. If it ask you for yes or no, type "y" for yes "n" for no.
9. You will get error (command repo not found)
10. Now you need to have somewhere 2 folders (android and bin) in bin folder you need to have file called repo. transfer this file into "~/android/system/" folder.
11. run again CyanogenMod6.sh
12. it will do something really fast, and if it ends type ./repo sync -j16 (if you are in ~/android/system/ folder)
13. if I am right and you are doing everything right you need to wait 10 years
14. now at 21:51 I got message like this: sync was stopped for some problems (after 20minutes of waiting)
Have Fun
EDIT -° Console result from step 14.

Android Builder (AB v.5)
kiel123 has joined the AB team!
Thanks to dsixda, Armin Coralic, and cteneyck. I do have permission to reuse their code.
Requirements:
Ubuntu Linux or variant
dsixda's HTC Android Basic Kitchen - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246
In my crazy quest to learn more about Android, I decided to create a companion to dsixda's kitchen that will take some of the drudgery out of downloading and compiling AOSP and the HTC kernel.
Here's what the current menus looks like:
Code:
Select the device that you would like to build for.
1) HTC Droid Eris
a) About Builder
0. Exit
Please enter option number:
and then
Code:
1. Sync AOSP - Cupcake (1.5) repo
2. Sync AOSP - Donut (1.6) repo
3. Sync AOSP - Eclair (2.1) repo
4. Sync AOSP - Froyo (2.2) repo
0. Exit
Please enter option number:
You can follow these two steps, and you will get a freshly compiled, but unsigned ROM in the original_update folder. After running it through the kitchen, it boots up just fine. Of course, most of the hardware doesn't work. That's the part that I am working on now (seriously, I am). I've been working on this for a while, because as I said - this is really about me learning. If I can make a tool that someone finds useful, then great!
Install instructions:
1) download and unzip dsixda's kitchen to whatever directory you want
2) download Android Builder into kitchen's scripts/plugins folder and unzip
3) back out and start the kitchen
4) select 'Run plugin scripts' from Advanced menu and select 'Android Builder'
5) you're there!
NOTE: This will try to install/update all of the packages that it needs, including Java5. Please look at the code so that you know what it's doing. That's just a good general practice with any code that you can actually look at and that you have to run as root...
Future plans:
1) add more kernels (devices)
2) add more vendor trees (goes along with devices)
3) add more repos (CM5, CM6, AOSP Master)
I hope someone finds this useful, and feel free to post useful suggestions/bug reports.
DOWNLOAD - (https://github.com/gnarlyc/android_builder)
CHANGELOG -
v5. - kiel123 re-wrote v.4 as a plugin to dsixda's kitchen with me testing afterward, minor fixes, removed Java6 as no longer needed by kitchen
v.4 - re-wrote to add structure to support more devices in the future
added option for Cupcake, Donut, and Froyo
added .config files that enable touchscreen in kernel by default
v.3 - unreleased build
v.2 - corrected misspellings in code and dialogs
added sudo to launch setup script (Still need to sudo bash first. Sorry.)
v.1 - initial release
Very nice. I have been doing the same. I have used darchstar's post here as the basis of my work. But, I am always glad to look how others are doing things. Thanks for the post.

Thanks for the thanks! I don't quite get the vendor tree thing, but I just need to look at it again a few times. And, that's where I'm at. It would be really neat to be able create a working AOSP ROM from scratch with minimal manual intervention. It might not be possible, but I haven't found that out yet. (But wait! If you can do it manually, it can be scripted. Right?)
there's typo in your install script
look for line: android_builder*
should be android-builder*
and your install script should use mv command instead of cp to avoid files duplication
EDIT: also you should use sudo command along with ./ab_setup script or include within script as well.
When i ran ./abmenu and i get this message
Code:
Please copy 'menu-kd' to the root of your kitchen folder with 'menu'
menu-kd?.... don't you mean abmenu? turned out it was looking for menu file which i had it renamed to kitchen_menu but I fixed that on my part and all is working well.
Dont let any of my criticism scare you away, I can see there's a lot of potential use for this scripts, great start by the way.

I renamed all of the scripts at the last minute and thought that I had them fixed. I'll make the corrections and repost. The goal is to get this thing working well. Your criticism is just more motivation. Thanks!
I'm new to all this but I would love this to work with Froyo source.

The current 'internal' build works with Cupcake (1.5), Eclair (2.1), and Froyo (2.2). It's not ready to release though. Give me another week or two. I'm working on proprietary bits now, so that you get a more usable ROM from the start.
Although from your sig, it appears that you don't have an Eris, so you probably don't care much about it's proprietary bits. If you want it to get Froyo instead of Eclair, you can just change 'eclair' to 'froyo' in the script that creates the repo.
I'm with you on Froyo. I have a feeling in a month or two very few people will want to run a pre-Froyo ROM. It's really nice.
rm error on install
i keep getting "rm: cannot remove './bkup': No such file or directory"
the file is there untill i run the ./install script then it disappears and shoots me an error any help would be appriciated

That files was used by me while developing the code. It's not needed. I'll fix the install script for v.5, but if you really want to fix the script now... Just remove the line -
'rm ./bkup'
from the 'install' script
You should still be able to start Android Builder by typing './abmenu', as long as it's in the same folder with the kitchen's menu. The error shouldn't matter.

Good deal. Let me know how it goes.
gnarlyc --
Have you thought of making this into a .plugin file that can be placed in the scripts/plugins folder of the HTC Android Kitchen? Then that way you won't need to update your scripts each time I update my kitchen
In my thread I could provide a link to your tool, so that people can add that plugin if they want.

The thought has occurred to me.
Give me a bit. A link in your thread would be great. It might even motivate me to add more devices. Getting stuck on adding Eris proprietary bits has lead me down the road of making a ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=725447) and documenting the process. I'll get back to Android Builder soon though.
Ok, so...
TO-DO
-------
1) rewrite AB as a plugin to dsixda's HTC Android Kitchen
2) add proprietary bits for Eris
3) add more devices
4) add CM repos
5) add Gingerbread repo
6) add compatibility with more distros

Interesting... I've tested from a freshly installed Ubuntu installation several times. It should install everything you need.
You could try 'update-alternatives --config java' and let me know what it says. You could also look for a file called 'setup_ran' in the root of the Kitchen, and delete it. Start './abmenu' after that and try again.
thanks for answering. Could the problem be that i installed it on cygwin.

Yes. Android Builder will not work under cygwin. I don't know that it ever will. That's on the TO-DO list, but it's so far down that it's not on the posted TO-DO list.
I've only tested under Xubuntu 10.04 and minimal Ubuntu 10.04.
If you happen to work it out on cygwin, let me know! I'm sure others would be happy to have the option. Heck, I might even be. I'm mainly using Ubuntu because of AB anyway. (Although, it is kind of growing on me.)
thanks i will look in to it.
Sent from my Eris using XDA App
just wanted to let you know that it didn't work for me. It runs, gives some errors and outputs a update.zip called AOSPbase but the file is only 1.1kb in size.

make sure you have java5 and java6 jre/jdk installed. it should work then. i had a similar issue the first time through... took it literally 10hours plus, then output was the 1.1k AOSPBase.zip file.
manually installed all java components, and everything worked perfectly then (and took half the time)

Hello guys !!!
So I am endrix and I am trying to port the linux kernel to our Toshiba TG01. I am an h.264 developer who loves linux. Many of you may hate the phone (I do a little too) because of the crappy windows mobile operating system that Toshiba has offered us. Beside the resistive touch screen our phones have a strong processor that is used almost in each smartphone (ok Samsung and Apple are not using snapdragon but is still Cortex A8).
So to the main point!
Firstly is not an easy task and I do not somebody to write in this thread when Android will work with our phones, I truly do not know if I will (or we will) achieve this! Secondly think to contribute as you can to this project, I am here to guide you if you have any questions about how to compile the kernel and if you have any other problem just send me a message or write it in this thread!
My git repository of the TG01 kernel is this one
github.com/endrix/kernel_common
System compilers and libraries:
I used the one given by source.android.com
apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential zip curl zlib1g-dev gcc-multilib g++-multilib libc6-dev-i386 lib32ncurses5-dev ia32-libs x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev lib32readline5-dev lib32z-dev.
certainly you do not need all of them but is ok to have it
So how can you compile the kernel?
Steps:
Use an Ubuntu Linux distribution or virtualise it with Virtualbox
I am using this cross tools: arm-2009q1-203-arm-none-linux-gnueabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2"
in my system I have created a directory in my /opt folder, to that just do "sudo mkdir /opt/cross"
Now go to the directory with "cd /opt/cross"
now rember where you have download the tar archieve and execute the following command, in this command i have downloaded my tar in /home/endrix/Download: so for my directory I do " tar xjvf /home/endrix/Downloads/gnueabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2"
Now that we have our cross tools installed in our system is it good to create an eviromental varibale to easy our task of ceoss compiling. do this command "gedit ~/.bashrc" and at the end of the file put this line: export CROSS_TOOLS=/opt/cross/arm-2009q1/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-
now execute this command "source ~/.bashrc" so that you command can be activated for the current command, the next time that you will open another console or reboot the varibale $CROSS_TOOLS will work
This is all for the cross tools
Next step Compile the linux kernel:
Create a directory for example "Projects" in your main directory(home), "mkdir ~/Projects"
Clone the repository of my git address: "git clone github.com/endrix/kernel_common.git"
Now you wait, take a coffe or eat a fruit
now you execute this command in the "kernel_common" directory, "make ARCH=arm htcleo_defconfig"
and then to compile the kernel" make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=$CROSS_TOOLS Image"
To make the process even faster if you have a multicore system, put -j4 (for 2 cores) or -j16 (if you have an intel iCore7 with 4 cores double threaded), that means, "make -j4 ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=$CROSS_TOOLS Image"
After a while depending you system you will get the kernel image file in the arch/arm/boot directory
So now you have the kernel compiled
Next step test the kernel with Haret:
1) Create the file default.txt with :
set mtype 2675
set ramaddr 0x11800000
set ramsize 0x18C00000
set kernel Image
boot
2)Download My modified version of Haret with TG01 support!
Haret for TG01
3)Create a folder in your sd card --> "ToshDroid and put the Image the haret.exe and the default.txt in it.
4) Finally execute the haret.ext and clik on run!
That's all folks! Now I am focusing in the Memory Map...
PS: sorry for links, As a junior member i cannot give a full url
I will update also my blog too for TG01

Hi endrix and welcome to xda-developers
I very much appreciate your work.. i've the same device.. it's a beautiful phone.. with a powerful hardware.. but windows mobile is not worthy of the hardware it runs on.. so we look forward for a release of android!
BTW.. i'd know what do you need to do your work.. can you make a list of thing that you need to accelerate your work? the first thing is compile android kernel.. but next? need you we post results? how we can fix the errors?
Sorry for my english but i'm italian.. and thank you.. hoping to see soon a first version of android..
Image Compiled without errors..
running haret it stops to "Jumping to kernel(custom). and freeze..
isikil87 : Ok! forgot something!
Do
1) make clean
2) git checkout android-msm-2.6.32-tg01
3) make ARCH=arm htcleo_defconfig
4) make -j4 ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=$CROSS_TOOLS Image
actually I am working on the android-msm-2.6.32-tg01 branch
compiled successfully...
boot ok.
jump to image ok.
linux pic visible.ok.
now we need the right address to write memory.
Cool !

For the moment the kernel has a problem because I have not figured out all the memory addresses and the reset is normal. Now you have to wait for a long time till we achieve to find the memory values. For android is another story if the kernel does not work correctly android will not work!

how can we help in reading memory addresses? maybe there is a way that we all could divide work on many tg01 users?

Ok so as they say "safety first"
Let me give you your CRASH HELMET
It is said that x10 is UNBRICKABLE, though that is true but not hard and fast rule. Jerpelea and Doomlord have bricked x10 devices before and it's not all that impossible. Still, if you keep care of following things, you'll never brick your phone
1. NEVER DISCONNECT USB CABLE while flashing/bootloader unlocking/pccompanion upgrade is going on
2. Be extremely careful while using the_laser or 9Lukas5's unlock procedure. It changes device partition and mapper modules so they are delicate ares and can brick your device if procedure is not followed
3. DO NOT PANIC, THINGS CAN BE SET RIGHT. BE CALM, BE PATIENT, ASK FOR HELP AT XDA
=======================================================================================================================
Ok so, there can be bad flashes or whatever..... what to do if device does not boot up??
1. If the problem is about RED flashing led, then just plug your phone into a charger and wait over night it's a low charge problem. Once charged, all will be ok
2. If you face boot loop and you just do not know what to do (i.e. you cannot go to recovery too) then do this
a.) either download PC companion and update/upgrade your phone
OR
b.) download latest flashtool and flash a 2.1 for 2.3.3 firmware (that you get in .ftf format) that will set you on track
ok so to tell a few things first....
please do not pm me.regarding this.
ask any questions here.
i or any other member would definitely help
and dont get impatient.... I'm busy...so it'll take time to complete the guide

DEFINITELY NOT with framework.
the framework res is not just the ui.
it defined the whole Android system...
it just cannot be ported like that....lol

Ok, so lets get to our stuff fast
Her we begin with some info about how a ROM works
when cooking/porting roms, you are concerned with only a few folders
download any randon ROM zip and unzip it and see what it contains
1. /system/app -> this folder contains all apk files of apps
2. /system/framework -> this folder contains lots of .jar files that defines how the base operating system will run and function
3. /system/lib -> lots of .so files that are like drivers (yep .dll files in windows), these specify how the software communicates with various hardware components
4. /system/etc -> very dangerous folder contains lots of important configurations
5. /system/etc/permissions -> these contain lots of xml files that are required to define how the .jar files in framwork folder will work
ok so i'll elaborate point 2 and 5 a little more taking example of the panorama beta app by SE. it requires the com.sonyericsson.android.seee.jar file in framework folder to work but if you just keep the jar file, it'll not work. you need to sort out its permissions too and for that you need to put com.sonyericsson.android.seee.xml file in permissions folder
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
also the etc folder contains two some files called
gps.conf (which defines which gps server the device will use)
hosts (this defines which websites will be blocked .... yes that is your adblocker file )
apns.xml (which defines your apn configuration)
screwing up these files can cause you internet/gps/data traffic problems. also intelligent editing of these fils can give you better gps/data too

hey champ!
First I'd like to thank you very much for this nice guide and for your kernel. With latter u saved my ass. Was on Doom's with FeraLab and phone reboots sometimes Now it's flying!!!
But I'm fan of good design. And please don't hit me, but I'd like to change the boot-logo of your kernel is there any way? Or do u have any nice guide to change logo?
Would be awesome!!!
Question
Hi champ,
Does THIS also work for X10?

I've one question left I think
I'm currently on Windows 7 ultimate, and I have 1 TB left on drive D (which is empty) My question is.. Is there a way to Dual-boot Windows & ubuntu without wubi?
Thank u very much again
Compiling kernel
So letme tell you how a kernel for x10 can be compiled
1. install ubuntu (through wubi or in vmware will also do) but i prefer on a separate partition.
2. Install the following packages
git-core gnupg sun-java6-jdk flex bison gperf libsdl-dev libesd0-dev libwxgtk2.6-dev build-essential zip curl libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev
here's how you go about doing it
Code:
sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf libsdl-dev libesd0-dev libwxgtk2.6-dev build-essential zip curl libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev
sun-java6-sdk is no more officially available through ubuntu repositories
so you will need a workaround.... so here are some helpful articles
http://www.gaggl.com/2011/10/installing-java6-jdk-on-ubuntu-11-10/
http://superuser.com/questions/353983/how-do-i-install-the-sun-java-sdk-in-ubuntu-11-10-oneric
http://softwareinabottle.wordpress.com/2011/11/17/install-sun-jdk-6-on-ubuntu-11-10/
In case you are on a 64-bit version of ubuntu, (btw i strongly recommend using a 32 bit version for android development as you'll face various problems with 64-bit at various stages) you'll need these packages too
ia32-libs lib32z1-dev lib32ncurses5-dev gcc-multilib g++-multilib
3. Next you'll need a cross-compiler.
a cross compiler is used to compile for a different architecture than from the one you are currently working on. in this case you are either on a i686 or amd64 pc while the kernel you are compiling is for an ARMv7 processor.
for ubuntu, getting the Linaro GCC cross compiler for arm is getting as easy as
Code:
sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi
4. Now you are pretty much set up to compile kernels. Next we need sources.
So let me link you up to the most common available ones
Sony Ericcsoon Official Kernel Sources for 3.0.1.G.0.75 (gingerbread firmware)
Sony Ericsson Official Kernel Sources for Eclair Firmware
FreeXperia Kernel For ICS
FreeXperia Kernel for GingerBread
DoomKernel (this is my forked repo)
*** i'll update this list later (there are dozens of kernels for x10, all have their sources, i guess for now, this is enough)
5. So the source you have downloaded will be either a tar or zip archive. Using archiver, extract it into a directory of your liking.
6. Open terminal and 'cd' into the kernel directory. The kernel directory is the one which contains the folders arch, block, crypto, firmware, drivers .....
for compiling kernel you need to be in the root of this direcrory.
7. So here are a few codes that will get your kernel compiled
To clean source directory : -
Code:
ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- make clean
ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- make distclean
To get default configuration
Code:
ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- make semc_es209ra_defconfig
if you are compiling FXP kernel then instead of semc_es209ra_defconfig you need to write fxp_es209ra_defconfig , and likewise for DoomKernel you need to use doom_x10_defconfig
To configure the kernel
Code:
ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- make menuconfig
inside general setup you can name your kernel
and inside power management setup you can setup which CPU governors will be present and which will be default
do not mess to much with the driver setups or with "kernel hacking" area....
do not touch things that you have no idea about
Finally... to compile the kernel
Code:
ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- make
If all goes well, you'll get this message
Kernel: arch/arm/boot/Image is ready
Kernel: arch/arm/boot/zImage is ready
If you get stuck in between, nothing to fret about. Just post here what problem you faced, amd me or some other helpful soul will help you out
8. I know you are thinking "whew!! are we done??"... ha ha ha!! no buddy!! not yet... much more work to do.
Firstly from you kernel directory go to arch/arm/boot (using a file explorer, not a terminal) and inside you'll find a 2~3 MB sized file called zImage. Copy that file into a separate folder where you'll stach all your finished works.
9. Now we need to compile the wifi modules.
It is imperative to note here that wifi modules should be compiled immediately after kernel has been compiled. DO NOT run "make clean" or "make distclean" commands in the kernel folder before wifi modules have been compiled
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
For compiling wifi, you'll need the "vendor" folder (which is there in official sony kernel sources but not present in Doom's or FXP's repo). So if you need just the vendor folder, you'll HAVE TO download the official kernel sources too.
in terminal 'cd' to vendor/atheros/wlan/host/ folder
edit the localmake.linux.inc file using a text editor
Code:
sudo gedit localmake.linux.inc
edit the line ATH_CROSS_COMPILE_TYPE := arm-eabi- to ATH_CROSS_COMPILE_TYPE := arm-linux-gnueabi-
also in the line
# ATH_LINUXPATH := < kernel source path >
remove the # (uncomment it) and insert the appropriate kernel source path (the folder that contains arch, crypto, firmware, drivers etc folders.
now to compile wifi modules, run this code
Code:
ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- KERNEL_DIR=/path/to/kernel make
of course, in place of "/path/to/kernel" type the actual path to kernel on your pc
this will get your wifi module compiled
go to the folder
vendor/atheros/wlan/host/.output/QUALCOMM_ARM_NATIVEMMC_BSP_REV=3240-SDIO/image/
and you'll find a file ar6000.ko
transfer that file to the place where you kept your zImage safely earlier.
10. PHew!! done?? ha ha .. no dude.. still not...more work left
now to pack things up, you'll need a ramdisk.
so lets steal a ramdisk from a already working kernel (for stock kernel take stock ramdisk, for cm7/cm9 take respective ramdisk)
take any kernel and unpack it using instructions given here
the file ending with xyz.cpio.gz is the ramdisk. rename the file into "ramdisk" (without any extension) and put this file into the folder where you kept your zImage and wifi module.
Now transfer all these three files into a folder which is accessible from your Windows partition (oops... yeah... without windows you cannot finish this job)
Rest of the steps that follow are to be done on Windows (i have not tried on WINE)
rename zImage to "image"
now using this tool (courtesy DoomLord) pack your ramdisk and image into a flashable .ftf file
also make a copy of the file ar6000.ko and name it wifi.ko
both these ar6000.ko and wifi.ko files are supposed to be in the folder /system/lib/module of your mobile (please create appropriate flashable zip for the same)

Guide to making a Raring Ubuntu-core image on a Linux PC/laptop (NOT a virtual machine (VM)) for the purpose of installing it on your TF101.
All credit goes to the time and consideration x3maniac took to assist me with doing this!
OP for Tubutnu by x3maniac
This guide allows you to create a CORE Ubuntu image on your Linux box and then install it using the Tubuntu application for Windows. ***Please note, a CORE image does not contain a GUI. The gnome-core guide in the next link will walk you through the steps of installing the gnome-core GUI after you have made your fresh Raring Ubuntu-Core image.***
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37803357
***Why do I want to do this when the OP by x3maniac already has a Raring image for download? This guide is helping you make your own UPDATED image. There are daily builds of Raring and the image in the OP by x3maniac is over 2 months old as of this last update to this post.***
Please note that I am using a stock Ubuntu 12.10 laptop. I believe any variant of Ubuntu on a laptop or PC should work with this guide just fine.
Download the files first and then open Terminal to input our commands.
Download: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-core/daily/current/raring-core-armhf.tar.gz
(You may optionally choose any date time from the Ubuntu-core folders. Ensure you are using the armhf tar.gz file.
Download (Recommended): https://www.dropbox.com/s/dqn9aa94oeju9kf/modules.tar.gz
Alternate Download: http://goo.im/dev/x3maniac/mod_firm_ext.zip
Alternate Download: http://www.novaspirit.com/downloads/mod_firm_ext.zip
After the downloads are complete, open Terminal and let’s get the image built!
A side note, I did not know that using ~ represented the user folder so if you do great, if not it will help you understand that /home/thomas can be represented using ~. So any subfolders of /home/thomas are included using the ~. I will specify my full paths and you can substitute the directories you wish to use. (Linux is still new to me too, I know enough to be dangerous!)
1. mkdir /home/thomas/images/ubuntu-raring
2. cd /home/thomas/images/ubuntu-raring
3. sudo apt-get install qemu
4. sudo apt-get install qemu-user-static
5. Now type this command: qemu-img create raring.img 200M
a.The Ubuntu Raring core image is approximately 186MB. So you understand at 186MB you only have 14MB available of extra stuff you can put into the image. You can resize up later but never down. You may specify any MB size you wish to use for the image. Experiment later, for now just make it 200M.
6. fdisk raring.img (you will see an error about invalid flag, this is ok, step 7 below is w for write, do proceed to step 7)
7. Type w to quit
8. Determine the file system you want (I used ext4)
a. Now type: mkfs.ext4 raring.img (according to config file of Tubuntu app, the partition is set up as ext3, you can use that as well)
b. A warning that your image is not a block special device (when choosing ext4) hit Y to proceed.
c. From /Ubuntu-raring directory type: mkdir mount
9. Now type: sudo mount –o loop ./raring.img ./mount
10. Now type: cd mount
10a. Now type: ls (you are only listing the mount directory to verify you have the lost+found directory) Go up one directory to /home/thomas/images/ubuntu-raring
11. Now type: cp /home/thomas/Downloads/raring-core-armhf.tar.gz /home/thomas/images/ubuntu-raring
12. Now type: sudo tar xvvf raring-core-armhf.tar.gz –C ./mount (you should not be in the mount directory)
13. Now type: sudo tar xvvf modules.tar.gz -C ./mount (you should not be in the mount directory)
14. sudo cp /usr/bin/qemu-arm-static /home/thomas/images/ubuntu-raring/mount/usr/bin (enter)
15. Now type: sudo chroot mount (if successful you will see /#)
16. Now type: passwd and make a password and confirm it.
17. Now type: exit
18. Now type: sudo umount ./mount
19. You should now be in the /home/thomas/images/ubuntu-raring/ directory. From here use the ls command and see your raring.img file.
20. You will need to copy this file your Windows box and use the Tubuntu installation application OR wheelie and nvflash commands. (Wheelie and nvflash commands are for more advanced users).

Ok, made several changes to my guide. Here's a couple things to note in case you missed them.
1. This guide helps you make an image of Raring Ubuntu-Core. This means there is no GUI and an additional post I have linked to for installing Gnome-Core (your actual desktop environment) for Raring.
2. After the Raring.img is made, you need to start on the Raring Gnome-Core guide and follow those instructions. That installation takes about 2 hours to download and answer questions because it is such a core install.
3. About the wifi, you will be using x3maniac's Tubuntu Windows installation application and starting from fresh with Prime Android and your new Raring image and if you follow the second guide it will walk you through setting up your wifi (do make sure you boot into Prime Android and set up your wifi first before booting to Raring.
4. Please familiarize yourself with the OP I have linked to for the x3maniac Tubuntu application.
It's not as hard as it may seem. After you do it a few times it's rather quick. Installing gnome-core by yourself is kind of slow and a bit tedious but the purpose of doing this was to have complete control of your image.
Later on if you are brave you can also build your own kernel as well and make changes. See my guide in my xda signature.
Hope this helps, thanks for using my guide. Hit the thanks button a couple of times and I'll make sure you get up and running.

OK, thanks a lot, I will try. I have been playing with Tubuntu for some weeks and now I just started playing with building the image (and thinking about kernel...). Just now I am on Lubuntu (with xfce4 which I prefer) with 2.6 kernel and I am trying on my son's TF101 Raring with Gnome and 3.1 kernel. I am just thinking about the possibility when one system is "fine tuned" if it would be possible to copy it from one TF to the other one (I mean just the Linux partition).

Replying to my own post because I must say - sorry, I am ehm an idiot... Because the only problem was - I have not edited the /etc/resolv.conf in the mount/etc directory. So now I can easily apt-get anything in the chroot! So it seems I can easily "prepare" an image with everything inside

Did it work? I couldn't not without finding a way to inject VI into the image for editing the file. You can mess with permissions but it ultimately doesn't work from the Linux box.
If you are able to do it without the tab, post the instructions and I'll add it to my OP and give you the credit.

It works I am just in the middle of installing xubuntu-desktop... I have made a quick & dirty bash script which will help to set hostname for the new TF101, root password, make a new user with password and add him to sudo group, automatically enable all the deb repos (universe etc.), set cpu freqs in rc.local and install some usefull utils (sudo cpufrequtils bash-completion wpasupplicant nano mc net-tools). And there is a second script you can run on the first run on TF101 which will resize the linux partition to its limit, copy the wpa_supplicant.conf from the android partition and starts wlan0 I will send this to you asap but will test this first. Hope my English is understandable

Xubuntu on raring is working without any problems. Now I would like to get the nvidia accelerated drivers working. I have tried 2 or 3 3.1 kernels but still without success. Googling for some help on compiling 3.1 kernel.

Yes, I know, I have already checked that. The 2.6 kernel is ok but I would really like to see the nvidia drivers working...
Had an issue mounting raring.img in step 9, had to run sudo fsck.ext4 "path to file" afterwards it mounted smoothly, dont know why tho.

Afaik it did, gave me the mentioned prompt, and finished without error. Might have something to do with me running a x64 vm ? as i wasnt able to chroot either. Im trying to get this running on my tf300t, but its alot different to installing it on the trusty tf101
Cheers for the guide tho, help me understand the whole process :good:

I believe our dev x3 mentioned there were differences on a VM so it probably has to do with that.
Glad the guide is helpful. Welcome!

Nice guide ! I just crated a 13.04 raring img. ( Used VM Kubuntu 12.04 )
Need some updates but nice
And there is a problem with actual release, wpa supplicant is not pre installed and now I'm in the begining of your second guide and cant set up wifi.
I had to download package with chroot, then install with my tab same for nano
Anyway, it's just FYI I dont really need help

This guide wasn't designed to use wifi, only to correctly package it for flashing 13.04 directly to the tab. The next guide adds the gui and requires your Android to be set up to copy over the wpa_supplicant file before executing those commands.
Onmail was able to script more changes to the image from "chroot" but I didn't go that far, he was able to get the supplicant and other abilities such as adding to the package better than I did.
OUTDATED

In this guide i will cover how to setup a successful install of kali nethunter 3.0 on Redmi Note 3(mine is 32gb) using the ported nethunter zip and the hammerhead image(nexus 5). This may or may NOT work on any other ROM because I havent tested it. I am running exodus ROM with stock kernel. Please make sure you know what you are doing before you proceed because i dont have time to answer questions like 'what is chroot and root for?'
Requirements:
1. Unlocked bootloader
2. TWRP
3. ROOT
4. Some free space in /data partition(alot actually if you install ALL the tools)
5. Basic understanding about how linux works
Things you need to grab:
1. kali nethunter zip and modules zip for our device
2. hammerhead image zip
Steps:
1. BACKUP current ROM(system, data, boot->MOST IMP)
2. After you have a backup flash the nethunter.zip(72.8m) and once its done flash modules.zip(2.1mb)
3. Now you have to restore your boot partition from the backup you took earlier. > Goto restore and tick only Boot and restore it.
4. Reboot your phone now. You should see some new apps in your app drawer if all was successful. Also you will see the nethunter bootanim(awesome).
5. Now download kmod manager and enable the modules that can be enabled and ignore the rest.
6. Now extract the hammerhead zip file anywhere. Inside that you will have a /data/local folder. There is a file named kalifs-full.tar.xz. Copy it to /sdcard.
7. Now open Nethunter app from app drawer. From left panel goto - kali chroot manager. Click install chroot > use sdcard > Full chroot.
8. Now you will see a progress bar stating decompressing ~5-10 mins. Wait till it finishes. Then you will see a metapackages thing with options to tick. Ignore by pressing back button.
9. The console(green text) should print somewhere this line - "everything went fine" to tell you no errors were encountered.
10. Now chroot is ready, this means kali is installed and running inside android. To test it, do this - Open es explorer and goto /data/local/nhsystem/kali-armhf, there u should see some directories like bin/boot/ etc.
This means the filesystem is installed. Now you can open the nethunter terminal app and choose 'kali'. If it says [email protected] in red color, it means everything went fine and you are logged in as root.
Post install notes:
1. Hammerhead zip is pretty old. You will have to change the repo to kali-rolling to get the latest stable packages.
2. I have noticed very slow speed while downloading the packages, you can either add mirrors close to your location to avoid this or you can install aria and apt-fast(requires aria) packages.
3. Wifi injection and monitoring is not supported by the internal wifi card of our device, so you will have to refer to the port thread that has a compatible wifi card listed(amazon link) which supports packet injection.
Downloads:
1. nethunter zip and modules for RN3 -> Grab from original port thread
2. Hammerhead image zip -> Hammerhead image zip
Thanks to:
Baka Guy aka Cereal Killer - for port
Offensive Security - for Nethunter
Note- Any sensible questions, feel free to ask. Sorry if I missed something, if any confusion or mistakes found in steps pls inform me.

Hello, this is only for 6.0 roms? like which ? RR official?
Did you read the thread?
This is for MM roms however I have not tested on cm based ROM so you can give it a try by doing as per the steps and report back if it works.

I have tried it and it works on Mokee. It boots and many of the functions do seem to work. How ever I'm still testing it and will review later again after some more testing.

Ok thanks for informing...can you check if fruitywifi is working for you or not?
Btw Radon is compatible and should not cause any problem...I will update the guide later.

I have tried radon once at Radonv2.1 on mokee but it seemed to mess with the adaptable storage which I really need. So I dont use custom kernal on mokee. I will check fruitywifi possibly tomorrow or day after that when I get the time. Ill report my results when I'm done. Also you should show how to change repos. Many people dont know.
How to change repos- first the current repos are too old. they are for sana i.e. kali 2.0. now latest version is kali 2016 i.e. Kali rolling.
Guide to changing repos and increasing download speed for update.
*OP pls add this in main post if you want.
To change your repos go to (using es explorer) device/data/local/nhsystem/kali-armhf/etc/apt/sources.list
edit it using a text editor. Delete whatever is in it. then add these lines
deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free
# For source package access, uncomment the following line
# deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free
Then save it.What you just did was delete old sana repos and change them with updated rolling repos. Then go to nethunter terminal using kali shell. then run
apt-get update
then
apt-get upgrade
then
apt-get dist-upgrade
if you are getting slow speed then change http in sources to repo. i.e.
deb http://repo.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free
# For source package access, uncomment the following line
# deb-src http://repo.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free
this will most likely get you better download speeda and lot easier than using aria.
This currently only contains nethunter packages, to get all packages
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y && sudo apt-get install kali-linux-full -y
This installs all kali packages shown at http://tools.kali.org/tools-listing. It will require alteast 800 mb data. If you install all packages you will get mysql screen setup. So if you try to installl all check up a guide before doing it. I wont explain it all here. For any noobs this doesnt contain a GUI. Dont expect one. You will need to know atleast basic linux to use it. If you want to try I ask you to try Kali on pc as it contains Gui and easier for beginners.

I will add the steps in the main thread to change the repos to rolling...although I found that changing from http to repo does not give any difference in speed. You should find a mirror close to your location to get better speed. I find nl mirrors to be far better than repo.
Also the vnc connections work without any tweaks so its not really a cui based installation bcz you can connect through vnc and use the gui too. Btw kali-full package requires 1gb download and more than 2gb space for install.
And you should avoid running dist-upgrade. It can cause problems with install and break the chroot environment.

try clearing the app data and cache. if it still does not work do this:
1. Install terminal emulator or try nethunter terminal as root
2. open and type following command
-> su -c bootkali
Then provide feedback if it was successful or not.
