Another linux as android replacement - GT540 Optimus General

I've found http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu-mobile/releases/11.04/release/
and also many other distibutions such as Arch, OpenBSD supporting ARM architecture. Is it available to make it work as replacement for android to have other linux?
Theres app in android market to install Debian or Ubuntu called Linux Installer.
Maybe this one will help? So far I have 2gb sdcard and its filled with data so can't tesy unless I make a copy.

[Q] Webserver with php and mysql

Is there a posibility to run a webserver WITH php AND mysql on android?
Thanks
I don't see why not. Gotta compile them all for ARM though. Not sure if MySQL supports ARM, but I'm sure it can be hacked in. It's a Linux system, you could probably even run Gnome and KDE and everything.

To run a DE you need X.org, and to run X.org you need drivers,and to have drivers you need to code them from scratch

Hackers often do things for no reason.
Sorry for the BUMP, but anyone has more info on this?
Go post in the Android Development thread. The one in the Android forum not the Desire forum.

native ubuntu for tab 7.7

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.

Ubuntu Mobile - Development

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!
Regards

Ubuntu is Linux, Android is Linux, nothing new there. 'Supported' is vague. I didn't see the part in the video where he said, and we will provide drivers and support for your 3 year old phone

NO my friend
Ubuntu is Linux,
Android is JAVA + Linux
it's NOT the same
Here's the toolkit they offer to app developers http://developer.ubuntu.com/get-started/gomobile/

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.... That is of u know how to change the repos, update and fix errors. Arch Linux is another option... Been trying to get that one to work but nothing happens correctly smh

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?!?

Question Since the hardware seems open what OS would you run?

I have been thinking about it more and more and was curious if there was anyone planning on porting android to the steam deck.
Why? If that's what you want get an odin
Why not just install Android x86 on it?

An odin is nowhere near as powerful even at 9 w a loki is tempting but it wont be out for 6 more months
SteamOS on internal drive and Win11 on microSD.

exactly
no need for porting, this device supports ACPI
bringing over some of its linux drivers to android x86 should be pretty simple as i believe its supported in mainline (amdgpu driver)
