Whats this in an Apple Mac (Linux and Mac users users chmod +x run.sh and run it)
And, here is the software to download. If you look closely they are also developing a mac edition. Enjoy!

Yeah..... I would love to post a tutorial to the developers part of this Droid X forum but I can't until I post at least 10 times. I figured since I spent a lot of time working on this (because I have no computer and have done it all on my phone) I'd post a tutorial on it
No loopback module required and I'm working on uploading a working version for all Droid X devices (with the latest update) which will include X11 with a small desktop environment (LXDE) and vncserver.
Please don't spam - if you have something to share, please do, and you and I can work out the details rearding the thread's location.

Are there any major benefits to running Fedora? And does it shut down Android, or run like an app in the foreground?

Let me rephrase - I feel like you're just trying to 'burn' posts until you can post this in development, by using this thread as a teaser. Please do not do this. Instead, please post what you've got on the subject now, in this thread. You will easily pass 10 posts with substantive discussion and, after that, I see no reason why the thread can't be moved in to Dev (just as so many threads are moved OUT of Dev... )

mod edit: appreciated, this 10 post thing is new to all of us.
Thread cleaned. OP, please follow the instructions per my last post.
N4melessS0ldier,
Can you drop your instructions in here for those of us who want to give this a try? Then I'm sure Mrkite would be more than happy to move the post to development when you have enough posts! =)
Mrkite,
forgive me if i'm putting words in your mouth... just taking what I though you inferred in a previous post

The benefits of running Fedora, from my standpoint, are mainly for developers that want custom binaries, that run in linux, to run on their Droid X orrrrr for regular end users who want a precompiled version of the Fedora 10 root filesystem that includes binaries (applications/programs) that are useful.
As far as running linux, it does not replace the Android OS. You aren't actually booting linux. Since Android OS is already techincally linux, you can just "chroot" into the root filesystem of a precompiled Fedora 10 distribution for ARM based devices.
So, the short answer is that Fedora will run parallel to Android OS and in order to access the desktop environment you need to run an android app that works as a VNC Viewer and connect to your own device (localhost).
I will be uploading a precompiled Fedora 10 to my server which will include a VNC server, LXDE (desktop environment), X11 (X windows server), and maybe a few other binaries specifically compiled for the Droid X (the kernel for the Droid X cannot be changed as most of you know (or maybe I'm just unaware of how to change it)).
Oh and by the way, I will be uploading this to my server @ anonymouslyacquired DOT info (if posting my website is against xda policy, please let me know and I will edit out the domain name registered to my server)
edit: uploaded rootfs-f10/fedora.txt to my server which I typed up to give people some info on how to do this themselves.....
Please post some instructions!
I am avidly wanting this. Especially if you get an X server running natively without the need for a vnc loopback!
I would love to be able to ssh to my server and get some x11 forwarding going If only just for the heck of it.

Can you post the rest of the files for this on the site?
Sorry....
Sorry, guys I had it running on my Droid X for awhile, but then I lost the phone. Eventually I switched to T-Mobile and now I have a Samsung Galaxy S 4G running Fedora 12 with X server (only viewable through droid-vnc-viewer, an ssh server and XFCE4 desktop environment). Since the SGS4G doesn't have nearly as much internal memory as the Droid X does, I created a fedora.img file that is on the sdcard and run a script I modded (from the bootubuntu script) which mounts the image and chroots into the OS. If you guys are still interested I can post instructions on what I remember of putting Fedora on the Droid X but I will be uploading the filesystemm image to hxxp://anonymouslyacquired.info/fedoraonsgs4g along with the scripts that make it possible!
Note: the filesystem I'm uploading is preinstalled with a bunch of stuff and its 1.5GB total (oops) its actually really only around 900Mb but I left some space for installing stuff.
with my scripts just copy everything to a folder called "fedora" under the root of your sdcard and run "sh /sdcard/fedora/fedora.sh" in android terminal emulator. It will tell you what to do next (type "bootfedora" press enter). Once you're in fedora type "startvnc" and/or "service sshd start"

any idea how can i install ubuntu on tab 7.7 natively
What do you mean by "native"? You could try and chroot and then install Ubuntu. This might work, but i have never tried it.

maybe there is some hope in this? (Xda won't let me post links but just google search "ubuntu phone") Ubuntu are releasing a mobile version of their operating system that runs natively on phones. So far they are only developing on the galaxy nexus but there is more to come
There are installers for Debian and Ubuntu in the app store. They run in a chroot environment.
I have tried chrooting... It wasn't that useful...
And that ubuntu phone thing isnt released yet...

the Ubuntu OS has two parts.
platform : not depending on target.
Linux Kernel: depend on target (chipset machine and drivers and HAL )(same as android)
in fact we can use locerra kernel to build Ubuntu rom images when it's released.
but generic kernel that's for pc won't work at all, this an embedded device not generic pc.
Hi,
This is (as far as I know) the first dump of wp8. It's based on the 9900 (emulator) build and is meant for cooking roms (for WP7/8 devices)
It has all 51 languages and all 3 screen resolutions
Good luck devs,
Download link:

If you use this in a rom, please mention me.
greetz
WOW!Thank you very much!:laugh:
Do you know that emulator have x86 version of WP8? It's impossible to use it. So your dump is really useless, even more than me.
Shhh... It's easy to dump the emulator, just mount VHD.

Offline ISO weights 1.6GiB. But it's much faster to download using torrent than downloading from unknown hosting.
Sorry but in the future is possible to have a WP8 Rom on a WP 7/7.8 device?

Yes and no. As it's possable to run on the hardware (all 1st gen are the same CPU wise and 2nd gen are pretty close still) and even Microsoft said so, there are no drivers designed for it. Nevermind the OS is designed for a dual core CPU, so performance could be a big hit.
The HD2 was the ONLY Windows Mobile device to get WP7 and the only reason why that is was because Microsoft used the HD2 in testing WP7 and someone "leaked" the drivers needed. If things follow suit, the chances of getting a WP8 rom running on a WP7.5 device might be like finding that needle in a haystack...might happen but, I would not hold my breath.
I also would love to see it tho.....
Hello Everybody,
Many of you must be familiar with Ubuntu Mobile, Ubuntu's latest project in the field of mobiles. Now the question is- Is Ubuntu supported on HTC HD2?
The Answer to the question is- Yes. As explained in the Linked video(See Below) by UBUNTU Co-founder, Ubuntu works on all the devices which can run Android. If you're not sure what I am saying, please see the video, seek it to 20:49 if you don't want to watch the whole video. It is based on Android Kernel only.
See the video here- http://youtu.be/cpWHJDLsqTU
(already Seeked)- http://youtu.be/cpWHJDLsqTU?t=20m49s
So, I am here with a new challenge, and that is the Porting Of Ubuntu Mobile. I hope you all are ready for it! :good:
I will be waiting for a Native SD Release!

Ubuntu is Linux,
Android is JAVA + Linux

Yes, but the kernel is similar (Android just misses out ALSA support). Java just provides the UI.
Ubuntu mobile for the Desire is up: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2165711 :good:
OP, i am just wondering u are porting "Ubuntu Mobile" or "Ubuntu Touch"?
You must acknowledge that "Ubuntu Mobile" is for "x86" CPUs, "Ubuntu Touch" is for "ARM" CPUs.
And currently, i want to port this, too. May be u will be faster
is Ubuntu Touch pure linux without dalvik VM? is it better for that?
Yes, currently, Ubuntu Touch is using the base android.
It uses its HAL, and dalvik VM, etc are not needed.
Ubuntu Touch is supposed to run on CM10.1, and currently, i found a source of CM10.1 for HTC HD2.
Compilation is still in progress, i met lots of errors, but lets hope we will success
I am going to update any progress here.
2013-03-11: This log has been created.
2013-03-17: After lots of tries and debugging, CM10.1 has been successfully compiled. No BCMDHD support. I'll try to port it to ubuntu tonight or tomorrow.
2013-03-22: Way to achieve ubuntu on the htc hd2 has been found. Due to my school tests start from today, development will be slow/suspended for about a week.
2013-03-24: Base android has been successfully ported into the HD2, although it is a bit slow/buggy, it is still acceptable.
2013-03-24: UbuntuTouch rootfs OK! No gui yet, need sometime for debugging.
2013-04-03: I just figured out that everything i done was wrong, i should use my custom android-init instead of the old init, debugging for the new init.
R: Ubuntu Mobile - Development
so Ubuntu mobile can't run on HD2? just x86?
are there any differences between the two distro?

Well actually, have u tried searching on how to replace Android os with bodhi?, u could also say the same for the 13.04 Ubuntu desktop as well....

i understand there is a difference between arm and x86 architecture but is there anyway to install for example lubuntu or lxle on grouper.
Also there is support for installing all ubuntus befor 13.04 so if i download lubuntu 12.04 is it going to work since it is based on ubuntu?!?
