Debian for Desire.
If you are able to try this on another android device, please do as I will be very interested in the results.
Download

You will need.
-Root access.
-Busybox (included in most custom roms)
-1.4gig free on SDCARD
-VNC Client (ie. AndroidVNC)
-Terminal Emulator (ie. ConnectBot)
-7zip
Instructions
-Extract the file deSIREbian.7z on your PC using 7zip.
-Copy the contents (debian.img and deboot) to root directory of SDCARD.
-On your phone in terminal emulator type
su
sh /sdcard/deboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You should get a blank screen showing "localhost:/#" after a couple of seconds.
-On your phone in your VNC client log in using these details
Password - password
Port - 5901
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Nickname and Address are not needed, call it what you want though.
Changing the colour to 24bit and enabling local mouse pointer and full screen bit map are not neccesary but reccomended.
-Thats it.
Notes.
-You can log in via ssh, (gives a much better terminal, ie works properly with aptitude). Use [email protected] and password "toor"
-The version of Debian is Armel Lenny, installed using debootstrap.
-It is just the base package with LXDE on top, you only get a desktop, a file browser, an internet browser, and a pic viewer.
-If you want more packages there's tonnes of room on the image. eg apt-get install openoffice.org or apt-get install abiword or apt-get install any flipping thing u want
-You can access the SDCARD from Debian at "root/sdcard" (read-write)
-You can access Debian filesystem from Android (When Debian is running) at "sdcard/debian" (read only)
-debian.img is mounted at "sdcard/debian" using "dev/block/loop5"
-So far the only rom i have come accross that this dont work with is one of the cyanogen nightlies from last week. apart from that, working on opendesire, cyanogen, defrost, leedroid, official 2.2 with busybox...
Issues.
Debian cannot be shut down. You need to reboot the phone to do this. (You can kill the VNC server with "vncserver -kill :1" there is an icon on the festoons to do this.)
Update log.
deSIREbain.
-First release.
deSIREbain2
Fixed
-Loading a second terminal no longer breaks vnc.
-You no longer need to create the folder debian on sdcard.
Added
-ssh server (login with root and toor)
Removed.
-The image has been downsized from 2 gig to 1.4
Hey,
thank you for your work, i will test it so far and will tell you the results
got this error:

If you have the same problems try out
su

losetup /dev/block/loop3 /sdcard/debian.img
mount -t ext2 /dev/block/loop3 /sdcard/debian
ls /sdcard/debian
thx to mercianary for help

I found this guide quite helpful at getting a bootstrapped Debian setup running.
http://www.saurik.com/id/10
I didn't need to insert the ext2 module as it's already loaded for me, I guess G1s didn't have that convenience back then.

It looks like you had not installed busybox
Which ROM do you use ?
oh i'm sorry
i'm a newbie and don't really know what a rom is
but i had problems with busybox and there was a somebody who said i can get the app titanium and let it install the busybox
could you please show me a tut how to install busybox
maybe a german tut
thanks

dont know why that happened.. works on mine. syntax looks ok to me.
try with this one (attatched), it's the same but without the bit that's not working for you.
what rom are you using, i shall try to replicate the error so I can try to fix properly.

There should be a guide on installing busybox somewhere if you want to search for it, i know i remember seeing one a while ago.
Too be honest, your better off just flashing a rom that includes busybox, it would be MUCH easier.
have a look here and see what takes your fancy, I would recomend defrost, because it is stable and easy to overclock.
Thanks mercianary,
It works fine!,
I use customised DeFroST_0.9b_uvonly with USB-host patch.
By the way I would like to add more options to kernel line.
Where can I find like a menu.lst file ? or How to add it to kernel line.
There is no /dev/graphics/* in running Debian console.
I would like to use FrameBuffer on running Debian.
thanks,
Android VNC won't connect Trying to get a handshake, but then says that VNC connection failed

You should understand that this is not a really booted native linux. Instead you are working in a chroot environment. So there is no kernel running that can get parameters. Only the the stock kernel of your DeFroST. Also there is no FrameBuffer as the graphic hardware ist not accessible. Instead this approach uses a vnc-server to which you can connect via a local viewer.
The advantage of this approach is clear:
- run almost any linux package available in the debian repository
- use your phone as before with the nice android
The disadvantage:
- no graphic output, so no 3D-games (which are rare under linux on the arm platform ;-)
- you can crash your android by eating up to much ram (not such a problem - it restarts on its own and if not you just have to reboot)
Thread is dead?
It seems this thread is dead. The problems many users seem to have come from a dirty setup. The image is broken in many terms:
- wrong file permissions on important binaries, like su
- wrong file permissions on many device files under /dev, so the ttys are only accessible by root
- wrong permissions on other places so there are always errors when installing additonal software (e.g. with the man pages)
- wrong setup that uses the root user for the desktop - instead an unprivileged user should be used
- missing packages for timezones and locales so the time is only right, if you are in a UTC region and console programs having trouble displaying anything else then plain english
I can not recommend using this setup image. It is better to use one of the instructions available online to get a clean setup.
Su doesn't work because your allready root.
Getting anything but root to work would be a real pain.
As you said its a chroot environment, its never going to be perfect.
The image was made using debootstrap just like all the other 'clean' ones.
Yep, it is broken as hell, but it works for what most people would need it for...make,gcc,python,a proper web browser,torrents, and some emergency word processing on the train to work.
The problem most people have is not being able to mount the image, this is due to fro-yo a2sd taking up all the loop devices.
Just thought I'd add my 2 cents.
I tried this on a MIUI rom and the scripy didnt do anything - ie i ran it using:
"# sh /sdcard/deboot"
.....and all it said was:
"#"
I entered all the lines in the shell script but the last one said it failed to launch VLC and no commands registered property (not even ls)
So i tried it on Defrost 5.1, and the script still didn't work.
But when i entered everything manually, it did work. Not too sure about the green theme though.
But thanks alot! Saves me spending a few hours trying to coax a working debootstrap out of my computer.
Thanks!
Josh.

Nope. Actually su works only for root. It's missing the setuid root flag like all other binaries that should have it set.

Nope. I am always working as a normal, unprivileged user in my chroot. You just have to be in the proper groups. No need to work as root. Android works also with an unprivileged user.

This is what I do not understand. There is no need that it is broken, as mine works without any errors. So I think something went wrong in creating yours. For sure a chroot is no running OS but you can server almost any service with it and run anything you want (if your ram does not get exhausted ;-).

Yes. Everyone with a good rom should have a2sd+ (aka the old a2sd) which saves more space than the froyo one and leaves your loop devices for you.

Hi again
I do not know how to deal with this using standart methods.
I resolve this issue when I reinstall the same ROM. I'm using clean install, then I do the same step-by-step instruction as I wrote before. All works fine.
P.S. One thing, I'm used CLK version this time.
Not so real good solution but it works now.
Hello ACE user's I proudly present you the best of the best script ever made, created by zeppelinrox.
Well, the V6 Supercharger Script is an excellent tool to fix memory management on Android 2.3, just because the Gingerbread is very aggressive in memory management.
For best details on what this script do to your beloved phone visit his thread, he doesnt say this will run in ACE but i manage and tried to install in my phone and it works fine and now i say this is the best experience since i got this phone in my hands.
here we go.
Requirements:
1. Download busybox installer from market.
2. Download script manager from market.(make sure you instal this in INTERNAL memory)
3. Download V6 supercharger latest script from the original thread here.
4. Rootexplorer and of course you must be rooted.
Steps:
1. Run busybox installer and install busybox v1.18.2 (this will downgrade our current busybox v1.18.4) we need this because v1.18.3 above will cause an error which is not. (see attached image)
2. Run and configure script manager press the MENU button and go to MORE and then in ADVANCED OPTIONS and now in CONFIG and tick "browse as root" and leave other fields un-touch and exit. (see attached image)
3. Download V6 supercharger update8 script in original thread above and put in root of your sd card. (see attached image)
4. Run script manager by default it views the root of your sdcard find your downloaded V6 supercharger script and click/touch to it another window will appear tick "run as root" then run the script. (see attached image)
5. You will see the script running first chose a scrolling speed from 1-3 by touching the screen for the keyboard to pop-up (i prefer 3 for slow so you can follow the progress) then press enter in your keyboard.
6. Now you will see an option from 1-17 it has different value each option, select option 6 (balance 3) its the best for me, you can try other options of course, now press enter after typing # 6, wait to finish the scipt from running.
7. Now type option 16 to reboot the phone, the script will autorun, thats it enjoy and fell the greatness of your phone.
To check that the script is running and working please do step 4 and 5 and see attached image encircled in red if you have the same value then your good.
Optional: loopy smoothness. Very nice script and works very will with V6.
wow, supercharger..
surely will try it
Thanks
but there's is something written there
If you want to share this, just link to this thread.
If you want to make a thread in other forums telling people about it, that's great.
But I would prefer that you do not post a copy of the V6 SuperCharger installation script in those forums.
If you already have a thread with a copy attached, I won't bother you about it. But please don't attach further updates.

Did you follow the instruction? did you install the busybox 1.18.2?
How about CF-Root? Is this compatible with CF-Root? CF-Root has busybox preinstalled...
For example, Black Hawk has busybox v.1.17.1, there is no need to instal another version of busybox.
All works, thanks.

1. increased rate of transitions from the menu.
2. pause when awake is almost negligible.
3... in progress)
EDIT: Nevermind... nice share!
From Chainfire's note:
It is possible to install a custom busybox over CF-Root v3.0 and newer. However, this is not without risk. CF-Root makes heavy use of scripting, and many CF-Root scripts rely on the internal busybox version. If you do install a seperate busybox version (always use "stericson" installer!), install it to /system/xbin. Installing it to /system/bin will mess things up for sure. Even if you do that part right, it may still break CF-Root, so make sure to make a backup before trying.

Higher version or even same version but compiled by different person (so could be have different applet compiled in) not always good for CF-Root. For an example, busybox without sh applet will break CF-Root including some user space applications.

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).

Yes you will because the core image has everything you need except the supplicant. You can make your own supplicant or copy from your working dual booted prime image of android. Let me try and update the guide later tonight.

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.

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).

Hi, I have no problems creating the image and mounting it. But when chrooted:
apt-get update
0% [Working]qemu: Unsupported syscall: 374
Err http://ports.ubuntu.com raring Release.gpg
Something wicked happened resolving 'ports.ubuntu.com:80' (-11 - System error)...
I am on Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit. What could it be? qemu & qemu-user-static installed, qemu-arm-static copied...
Thank you and sorry for my CZ-english

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.

Awesome! If you go to the op for x3maniac, you can view his github that has 3.1 kernel source. Take a look and see of it helps.

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.

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.
