Hi there,
I have being trying to boot into my Ubuntu 10.10 with WIndows 8 Developer Preview installed, and I have found a quick workaround (I think most of you will probably know it already, but I'll post it here anyway for those who don't )
Firstly, install the Linux distribution of your choice (I tested with Ubuntu 10.10, so I'm not sure about any other OS's!)
Next, grab a copy of Super Grub2 Disk off supergrubdisk.org (can't post links yet... too new! ;-) ) and burn it to CD/DVD/USB.
Then, reboot your PC with Super Grub2 Disk in and select your boot device from the boot menu (I pressed F12 on my Acer) and Super Grub2 Disk should load. Select "Detect Any OS" (the first option) and wait while it scans your partitions for operating systems.
It should then display something like "linux 3.0.0-12-generic", "linux 3.0.0-12-generic (single-user mode)" and "Windows Vista (bootmngr)" (I thought the Vista bootmngr was a bit strange - must be the same boot manager as in earlier versions, but with linux-crippling secureboot :-( ). Select linux 3.0.0-12-generic and you are done!
You can now safely remove the disk. For (nearly) seamless usage, burn Super Grub2 Disk to a USB drive and tweak the BIOS settings to boot off said USB drive!
Enjoy
Simpler: after doing this and booting into Ubuntu, reinstall grub via the terminal or software center, problem solved, no more CD needed. (I used this method to triple boot between Ubuntu 11.04, Win7, & Win8)

DUAL-BOOTING WINDOWS 7 & LINUX
The following guide is to help would-be developers install Linux. If you are unsure how to partition a hard drive or run a backup, you probably should not attempt this. You've been warned, also I am not responsible for anything bad that may happen to your computer, this is simply a guide. If you have questions or run into a stumbling block, don't hesitate to ask. Lastly this guide was written for users using Windows 7, though it should work for other Windows versions I have no personal knowledge of how to accomplish this. Lastly read the guide the whole way through, there are two different methods one appears easier than the other.
METHOD 1 (TRIED AND TRUE)
Downloads for method 1)
Ubuntu 12.04 (LTS): This is the most current Ubuntu Linux release.
PowerISO: PowerISO is a small program that allows you to mount an .iso file as a physical drive, and allows for easy CD/DVD creation.
EasyBCD: EasyBCD is an excellent way to edit MBR so that it is easy to go from one OS to the next.
Prep-Step 1) Back up your work (This should be a no-brainer but all too many times have I seen someone in a sticky spot because they didn't have a good backup). Its not unheard of for a hard drive to become corrupted after repartitioning, but I can say that its not common either.
Prep-Step 2) Make a Windows recovery disc, if you have OEM installed Windows. If you did a clean Windows install or have the Windows disc for the operating system you are running, grab it. When installing a second OS you have to mess with the Master Boot Record (MBR), and the easiest way to repair the Windows MBR is with the recovery function on the disc.
Prep-Step 3) If you are like me and insisted on clean installs on your PC (I get not doing it every time on your phone, but I don't get in the habit of installing OS' on my PC), make sure that Windows is installed first. This step will save you a potential headache, and $50 bucks when you break your keyboard for not following Pre-Steps 1 and 2. The long and short of it is that Windows when it is installed will over-write whatever is on the hard drive its being installed on, including the Linux bootloader.
Optional Prep-Step I personally have found it easiest to partition my disc from Windows, so I am including this step.
a) [CLICK] "Start" in Windows
b) Type "disk management" and press [ENTER]
c) Choose the drive you wish to partition, in this case we will use the C drive, in the bottom pane, then [RIGHT-CLICK] on the main partition, [CLICK] "Shrink Volume"
d) Shrink the partition by entering how many MB you want to take from that partition, keep in mind for any of you people like myself who like to see even numbers on hard drives that 1 GB = 1024 MB, not 1000. Then [CLICK] on "Shrink" Please keep in mind that Ubuntu recommendsAT LEAST 10 GB and requires 4.4 GB If you are planning to do ROM development you should consider shrinking by around 100 GB or more if you have it.
You will now see unallocated space on your hard drive and for now thats a good thing. I typically do the actual format of the new partition during the Ubuntu install.
Prep-Step 4) Download Ubuntu and either a) burn it to a disc using an app like PowerISO, or b) put it on a USB stick. For ROM development you need to run the 64 bit version of Ubuntu.
OTHER RELEVANT INFO: While doing more in depth research I found several posts in forums about installation errors on hard drives larger than 1TB. The work around for this seems pretty easy. BEFORE PARTITIONING run a defrag, the goal is to get the new partition as close to the beginning of the disc as possible. Once again, if you have not already done so...BACKUP your data. If you have over 500 GB used on your hard drive you will most likely have issues booting Linux on a single hard drive, but you can still dual-boot when both OS' are on different hard drives.
INSTALLATION
Step 1) Insert the Ubuntu CD you burned into the CD/DVD tray of your PC and reboot your computer.
Step 1.5) If your BIOS is not set to boot from the CD drive you will need to tell the BIOS to boot from the CD, by pressing either F2, F12, Escape, or Delete depending on your BIOS. BIOS option are different for most PC manufacturers so I will not include how to change your boot order in this guide.
Step 2) Continue the installation and follow the prompts until you are asked this question: "How do you want to partition the disk?".
Step 3) If you followed the optional step and have room for Ubuntu then select the partition that you have already formatted select "Install Ubuntu alongside Windows 7" follow the installer through the rest of the steps. If you did not do the optional step, select "Something else" which will open up the "advanced disk partitioning tool"
Step 3.5) Not Applicable if you did the optional step in the preinstallation. When the Advanced disk partitioning tool opens you will see two (2) NTFS file systems (/dev/sda1, and /dev/sda2) DO NOT RESIZE /dev/sda1 unless you know what you are doing. It is ill advised to say the least and can cause boot issues. That said select /dev/sda2 (for most users this is their Windows partition) and [CLICK] "change". This will open a pop-up so that you can select how much of the Windows partition you want to use for Linux.
Step 4) In the "Installation Type" window at the bottom you should now see an area called "free space", select it, then [CLICK] "add" to add a new partition.
Step 5) The first partition we will add is the boot partition. For the partition type the default should be logical, if it is then leave it there, if not select logical. The recommended size is 500 MB. Keep the "Use as" box at its default which should be ext4, and the mount point is /boot. [CLICK] "ok"
Step 6) In the "Installation Type" window [CLICK] on "free space" and [CLICK] "add" to add a new partition, this partition will be / (root). Once again this will be a logical partition which will be used as a ext4 file system, and the mount point is /. The root partition does not need to be HUGE, 75% of the minimum 4.4 GB should be fine (Even if you are using much more than the minimum there is not much need for a / that is more than a few GB in my own experience. [CLICK] "ok" when finished.
Step 7) In the "Installation Type" window [CLICK] on "free space" and [CLICK] "add" to add a new partition, this partition will be /home. Once again this is a logical partition, using ext4 and the mount point is /home. The size of this partition is going to vary from user to user. You are only creating one more partition for Linux after this, and that partition is relatively small (1GB per 1GB RAM installed), so do not hesitate to use the majority of the space you allocated for Linux on this partition. [CLICK] "ok" when finished
Step 8) In the "Installation Type" window [CLICK] on "free space" and [CLICK] "add" to add a new partition, this last partition is for your swap. Once again this is a logical partition, but it will not be used as a ext4 file system, in the dropbox select "swap area". For the partition size I recommend using the rest of whats available for the swap, which should be 1GB per 1GB of RAM installed, for example if you have 4GB of RAM your swap should be 4GB. Once finished [CLICK] "ok".
Step 9) Once again you should be in the Advanced Disk Partition Tool ("Installation Type" screen), there you can see the partitions you have created. Because the /boot partition is logical it should be listed as /dev/sda5 (Always check...I can not express enough that anomalies happen). In the "Device for bootloader installation:" dropbox select /dev/sda5 or whatever it was labeled (EX /dev/sda#) [CLICK] "install now"
Step 10) Follow through the rest of the installation and enter your user information. After the install is completed successfully reboot your PC, it will reboot into Windows (which is 100% expected since we did not tell the MBR to look for our Linux system.
Step 11) Download and install EasyBCD from here, it is a free download.
Step 12) Open EasyBCD and [CLICK] "Add New Entry" , then [CLICK] the Linux/BSD tab. From the "Type" dropbox select "GRUB 2". I believe the name box comes filled with the OS info by default, if not in the "name" type "Ubuntu 12.04 (LTS)" and [CLICK] "add entry" (Not "Add New Entry")
Step 13) [CLICK] on "Edit Boot Menu", select your default OS and set the time out options.
Step 14) [CLICK]"Save Settings"
At this point you should have a dual-booting computer with both Windows 7 and Linux...Congrats.
MAKE WINDOWS BOOT BY DEFAULT ON PREVIOUSLY INSTALLED DUAL BOOT SYSTEM
Step 1) Restore the MBR from your Windows installation disc
Step 2) Download EasyBCD from here its pretty easy to use. The non commercial version is free too. This program will allow you to select the boot priority.
If you require more detailed instruction please PM me and I will add to the OP
METHOD 2 (USING THE WINDOWS INSTALLER)
I want to start by stating that I personally have never used this method, but it seems like its pretty easy (perhaps easier than Method 1). Credit for this part of the guide goes to Ubuntu.com.
Prep-Step) Download the Windows Installer from HERE. I suggest using Internet Explorer for this since IE gives you the option to just run the installer, rather than downloading it, only to delete the installer off your hard disk later.
Step 1) Run the installer if you have not already
Step 2) When prompted, enter the username you would like to use and the password for that account. Then [CLICK] "Install"
Step 3) Wait...The download is about 500MB so it may take a while to download and install but apparently you can still use your computer while this install is taking place. Once prompted [CLICK]"Finish" to restart.
Since I have not used this method I can not tell you at this point if it is necessary to repartition your hard disk when using this method. I will format my other PC and try it out later today or tomorrow and update this post as necessary.
INSTALLING UBUNTU THROUGH VirtualBox
Please read through the entire guide BEFORE attempting to do the tasks detailed in this guide. For this portion of the guide I used Ubuntu 11.10-Desktop, which is no longer a current release. The steps should be pretty close to the same, but after Step 7, things may get a little out of order.
Step 1) Open VirtualBox and [CLICK] "New" to add new virtual machine
Step 2) In the name field You are going to name your virtual machine, generally I use the distro name (EX "Ubuntu 12.04 (LTS)"), if you name like this the next box will automatically change to Linux, and the version will say "Ubuntu" [CLICK] "next".
Step 3) Select how much RAM you want to use for your virtual machine, generally I will use 2 GB, if I am going to use a virtual machine (This is where a dual boot has its biggest advantages. Your hardware is only running one OS, when virtualized your hardware is essentially running two.). [CLICK] "next".
Step 4) Now you are going to create your virtual hard drive, keep in mind if you are running a virtual machine to develop (I don't recommend this), you are going to want to dedicate more than a few GB for Linux (100GB+). [CLICK] "create". I use the VDI disk image type so I made sure that was the one selected, and [CLICK] "next", now at this next screen you can choose if you want your virtual hard disk to be dynamic (Only as large as it needs to be), or a fixed size. I chose dynamic, but again this may not be effective for development purposes. I have no personal knowledge of this so I can not answer that question. Finally [CLICK] "create"
Step 5) In the VirtualBox main screen [RIGHT-CLICK] your Linux virtual machine and select start.
Step 6) You will be prompted for which drive the installer for whichever distro you are using, at this point you want to go to the box to the right of the drop menu and select the .iso for the distro you want to use. Now [CLICK] "start"
At this point you should have a virtual machine running and ready to install Ubuntu.
Step 7) You are going to select your language and [CLICK] "Install Ubuntu". [CLICK] "continue" on the next screen.
Step 8) At this point you will be asked how you want to install Ubuntu, whether you want to erase the entire disk and install Ubuntu or if you want to do something else. You can do either one, without risking damage to your PC on a virtual machine, which is part of why we had to create the virtual disk. For this guide I am going to choose to Erase the disk and Install Ubuntu make your selection then [CLICK] "continue", then [CLICK] "install now".
Step 9) Choose your timezone then [CLICK] "Continue"
Step 10) Select your keyboard layout then [CLICK] "continue"
Step 11) Enter the user information you wish to use then [CLICK] "continue"
Allow the virtual machine some time to install the OS and once installation is completed it will prompt you to reboot [CLICK] "restart now". Congrats you should now have a working virtual Linux desktop!

I can add in a virtual machine guide too. You're using Virtual Box, and not VMWare Player? If you are getting kernel failures I would try redownloading Ubuntu.
Also which settings are you using for your virtual machine?

Also a few things I forgot to ask...What kind of computer are you using, please be detailed and include things like Processor speed (chip number if you know it), RAM, and which OS you are using, and which version of Ubuntu (or other Linux distro) you are attempting to run in VM. I am going to try to replicate your error, so I can walk you through it.
Also you state that you had no success, please elaborate. Did the virtual machine not boot? Did it boot, but you could not get logged in? The more details the better...Thanks

I have always used VMWare Player myself. Once I get home I will install VirtualBox and do a write up and walk you through it. Aside from RAM we have similar setups. Give me a few hours and I'll try to walk you through it.

You need to reinstall Ubuntu on to the Virtual disk you are creating, because the virtual machine is not looking at your entire disk. It only sees what you tell it to see on the virtual disk.
Also I edited my second post to include a walk through of a VirtualBox install

It will format your virtual hard disk. Sounds risky but its not. Basically with a virtual machine the emulator (VirtualBox, in this case) uses a section of your hard disk and creates your virtual machine. The virtual machine has most of the capabilities as the host machine (your physical PC that you boot up), but is limited to the resources that you want to allow it to use (EX. How much RAM do you want to dedicate to your virtual machine, how much disk space will you allow it to have. So erasing it basically means it is going to clear that space within that virtual machine. It has no effect on other Windows or Linux OS' you may be using within the emulator...does that make sense? Bottom line, yes its safe to erase and in your particular case I would encourage it.

If you are going to be doing ROM development and compiling I would really lean more towards a dual boot than a virtual machine. Compiling is CPU intensive and on a virtual machine you aren't just running one operating system with the resources your computer has, but now you're talking about running two OS' and putting a heavy CPU load on one of them.
To answer your question, 100GB should be enough, but I do not know how development will go in a virtual machine...I have no experience in this. Perhaps someone who has developed on a virtual machine can chime in.

Android_*^ Easy Installer
Finally, an alternative installer. I am having difficulty in installing my android_x86. The installer won't detect my local hard drives even if the grub menu says "Install to Harddrive". I only get endless dots after the "Detecting Android_86". The installer only detects flash drives and SD cards and is willing to install the system onto the SD card. I tried various .iso images that are compatible with my machine and they all have the same story. Then I thought of tricking my PC. So I installed Android_x86 onto my SD card. Then using Gparted, I copied the partition (where I installed Android) onto my local harddrive. Afterwhich I edited my Ubuntu grub menu to be able to boot the partition. It worked! But not fully. I am again stuck with the "Detecting Android_x86..............(endless)". Same story, it will not detect my local harddrives even the very partition where the kernel and initrd files were succesfully loaded from.
I next experimented with VirtualBox. They all worked and detected the virtual hard disks just fine. Its just that the jellybean system runs slowly. However I am still keen on running Android alongside my other operating systems without virtual machines.
So I was very happy to have heard this easy installer. I just need help. when I first ran the Android Easy Installer, it went looking for grldr(grub4dos). So I downloaded and decompressed Grub4dos. I ran the installer again and it copied the necessary files to C:\. But this time, it came looking for "menu_VESA.lst".

So I was very happy to have heard this easy installer. I just need help. when I first ran the Android Easy Installer, it went looking for grldr(grub4dos). So I downloaded and decompressed Grub4dos. I ran the installer again and it copied the necessary files to C:\. But this time, it came looking for "menu_VESA.lst". I looked everywhere including the internet but I do not know how to provide this file. How do I generate it? Please Help, Thanks.

OK, I don't know what's happened in your PC but this is the first time i see result like this.
I tested installer with (PC/Laptop/Netbook) with different Version of Windows but this is new to me.
I think you are using GRUB as bootloader or something like that.
FYI, The Installer packaged with All Files Required including GRUB.
menu_VESA.lst is grub config file, i created it for devices which use Intel HD, Nvidia or ATI Graphics Cards (you will not find this on the net )
menu_VESA.lst (Attached)
1. extract menu_VESA.zip
2. copy menu_VESA.lst to root of C:
3. Rename it to menu.lst
I hope this fixed your problem
waiting for your feedback
Thank you very much

Thank you for the file.
Yes I am using GRUB. Actually, Windows XP occupies my first partition. My other partitions are populated by Ubuntu, Pear 6, Zorin 6, and Fedora 17. (in that order) We all know that these operating systems use GRUB2 and I installed each operating system's own grub in their own respective partitions (as you will see why later). The next partition is DATA. After that dwells Oracle Solaris 11 which uses GRUB 0.79. Since Oracle uses the ZFS filesystem, I thought that its not a good idea to have Linux GRUB2 boot Solaris partition since it does not recognize ZFS. In fact these systems cannot find the ZFS partition. So I decided to install Oracle last. Oracle's GRUB 0.79 on the other hand can readily "see" the Windows partition but also cannot see the Linux operating systems. However I found a way to boot them all using Oracle's GRUB 0.79. I chainloaded all of them from my Solaris menu.lst. And since I installed each Linux's own GRUB2 in their local partition, GRUB 0.79 simply chainloads booting to the GRUB2 of whichever Linux OS I choose. As I mentioned in my previous post, from GRUB2 I found a way to boot Android_x86 (on the hard drive partition copied from an SD card partition) and it worked. However, Android's kernel won't continue loading after the kernel and initrd, since it does not detect any of my hard drives. (I think) It only continues loading if it detects a flash drive or an SD card inserted. (and android is installed on that removable disk)
I am yet to try reinstalling using the Easy Installer. I will update you. Thank you very much

Okay I tried over again. I followed your instructions and just to be safe, I also put a copy of menu_VESA.lst to the folder where the installer is located. (There is already a menu.lst in that folder from the Grub4dos package that I downloaded). Good news...it is no longer looking for menu_VESA.lst, so that satisfies it. Now however at the point where status says "Creating Android boot" an error window pops up: "System cannot find the file specified" and then halts installation. This time I do not know which file it is looking for. I have the iso image properly selected, the install destination has been selected (drive G:\ - a newly formatted 30GB NTFS partition) and User Data was set to 10GB. Now I do not know what file it is looking for. By the way, I downloaded and unzipped in the same directory of the Easy Installer a Grub4dos package since it was looking for these files. What do you think? Thanks for any help you could extend me.

That's True, the file is: bcdedit.exe which isn't included in Windows XP because it uses NTLDR not Windows Boot Manager.

Okay, so does this mean that the installer works only with Windows Boot Manager and not with NTLDR? The way I understand it, the installer also invokes grub4dos to boot android_x86. From what I know, boot.ini can be edited to accommodate alternate booting with grub4dos and this is compatible with NTLDR right? What my Oracle Solaris GRUB 0.79 does is that it chainloads to the Windows partition thereby transferring control to NTLDR. Then, NTLDR via boot.ini, can boot grub4dos which in turn could boot Android_x86. I think this could work.
However, I want to know if simply supplying the bcdedit.exe will continue the installation of Android_x86 and afterwards I can just manually edit grub4dos' menu.lst? Also, what other files (not included in your installer) should I have on hand to satisfy a complete install? Thanks for your reply.

thanks for this info.
I wasn't implement support of NTLDR, because i think a lot of people are using new Versions like Vista/7/8
just copying bcdedit.exe will not solve the problem, because bcdedit.exe is just boot config editor not the Boot Manager itself

What's PhoenixOS you ask?
Phoenix OS, much like Remix OS is designed to run on x86 tablets or larger screen devices with features often found only within desktop OS's. These features include a comprehensive start menu, fully resizable multi-window support and keyboard shortcut functionality. Phoenix OS provides the desktop UI functionality, with the benefit of access to the vast array of games and applications available to the Android operating system.

With linux you can use Unetbootin to burn the iso. The Phoenix grub menu has the same option to install as Remix. Rufus has more options as far as install location, formatting. It even has a partition editor. Are you trying to instsll to an empty drive?

Thanks for the quick reply, yes I`m installing the different x86 OS'es I`m trying out to an external HD that I have formatted at ext4. I plan to eventually install it as a stand-alone on a chromebox setup I`m putting together. I`ll give unetbootin a try. I haven`t tried Rufus yet, first because I assumed it would only run on a windows pc and second because I didn't want to touch my main pc's grub/bootloader.

With Linux you can just unpack the iso in the partition and invoke from the command line.
Try this tutorial:

Also, Rufus does not have a Linux version.

I'm starting to get lost. The problem is you can't get a Phoenix USB to install or you can't get it to boot after installation?
IF you can install to your external HD make sure to install grub on the external as well. When in Linux don't update-grub while external is attached. In the past I have used the Bootable cd to "Jump start" the partition I want. The probe will find the bootable Phoenix partition. Also Grub disk 2 has a feature to manually boot any partition as does Parted Magic. I'm a tad confused as to how you have Linux as your main OS but are worried about manipulating Grub. That's what it's for. :laugh:
When in Phoenix Grub menu at first boot. Hit Tab or "e" to edit commands. It will show the same INSTALL=1 command?

Look, It`s my fault, I should`ve just stated from the beginning that I wanted to make a Live USB with your PhoenixOS .iso so I could install it on a fresh hard-drive. The stock Android x86 .iso is capable of this and so is the extracted .iso of Remix when you invoke the "INSTALL=1' parameter at it`s grub. I`ve succesfully installed both of these on to an external hdd that I plug in to my main pc, whose BIOS I`ve set to boot off of a usb drive first. Then I can setup said OS`es like I want them and clone them to use on to a separate system I`m slowly putting together. Are we clear now? If not, forget it and I`ll stick with one of the other two.
I haven't downloaded this .iso, but are you guys @bg260 @dave157 sure that it has install.img included? According to @dave157 picture I may suspect that there is no such file in his Phoenix directory.

There is a ramdisk.img in the extracted folder of the PhoenixOS .iso, what isn`t is the boot folder (the one right next to the efi folder in the screenshots of the stock .iso`s). I`m taking a guess here but wouldn`t that be needed for legacy (non-uefi) installs through live cd/usb?

The boot directory is located in the EFI directory. I have downloaded, and installed both versions successfully to my external HD. I have booted it successfully on three different machines. I used Unetbootin with Linux to accomplish this.
Here are my steps:
1. Formatted desired partition Ext4.
2. Burn iso using Unetbootin.
3. Reboot to BIOS boot selection menu.
4. Select Install PhoenixOS to hard drive.
5. Selected pre-formatted partition, chose do not format.
6. Grub2 - Skip
7. Grub - Yes
8. Rebooted to BIOS boot selection menu.
9. Chose external HD

Sorry to hear that as PhoenixOS is superior. IMO.
Thank you for this iso. i was able to install Phoenix OS on blank 160GB hard disk lying around gathering dust. My old netbook doesn't have any other OS except now Phoenix OS. I followed the instructions included in the download file from the OP and everything went smoothly. My netbook has legacy boot mode. I didn't encounter any problem installing to the hard disk. Now my Netbook is running solely Phoenix OS. My internal Storage is around 150GB!
And, oh, I also tried installing on an external usb hard drive using this iso and I was also successful. Tried booting from the external USB drive, and Phoenix OS booted successfully. I also tried the same external usb hard drive on another computer, and it booted successfully. (Both have legacy boot with option to boot from USB drvies from bios setup). Now i have my Phoenix OS on an external hard drive and I can use it on any computer (that allows booting from external usb drive)! Cool! Read/Write speed is only around 40Mbps, but it's ok for it's purpose.
Thank you @bg260 for this .iso!

Format the USB to EXT4 with a third party application, though NTSF might work as well. Fat32, the default for most USBs is limited to a 4gb block size. Therefore your data.img can only be 4gb.
Hello,
1. Downloaded kalilinux.FULL.ext4.20131031.zip of around 2.2 GB.
2. Extracted zip on sdcard in kali folder and I got kalilinux.FULL.ext4.v2.img of 5.59 GB.
3. Installed Linux deploy from play store.
4. In the Linux deploy tap on right bottom download button and selected Kali Linux as distribution option, installation path /sdcard/storage/0/kali/Kali.img (I renamed the img).
5. Clicked on install option from menu option. Did not worked, got message something like Mounting Partitions... fail.
6. OK. I left this way and installed Linux deploy and reinstalled Linux deploy and installed kali Linux from Wi-Fi connection, it seems it got worked and after seeing many retrieving, validating, installing and configurating messages in Linux deploy, it seems me got installed.
7. But, I don't know how do I access Kali Linux on my this one plus one device which is running aicp 7.1.1 ROM.
Kindly tell me what step(s) need to run Kali Linux on my phone. I am interested to use above Kali.IMG, so that a fresh new installation can use this IMG which have bundelled many pre configured modules.

Ok, no problem. Please share with us as and when you get success by installation and running Kali on the phone. I would like to request to other xda experts to please tell us how they are able to install Kali with offline .IMG file and other vnc settings.
May I ask here?
After installation kali runs as a normal operating system, not as an app, correct?
Does it run as a dual boot OS?

Well, it does run as a normal operating system, but it's sandboxed into an app. It's like a virtual machine.

i use it with a micro USB to LAN Adapter for do anything what i will do with Kali

Hello,
1. Downloaded kalilinux.FULL.ext4.20131031.zip of around 2.2 GB.
2. Extracted zip on sdcard in kali folder and I got kalilinux.FULL.ext4.v2.img of 5.59 GB.
3. Installed Linux deploy from play store.
4. In the Linux deploy tap on right bottom download button and selected Kali Linux as distribution option, installation path /sdcard/storage/0/kali/Kali.img (I renamed the img).
5. Clicked on install option from menu option. Did not worked, got message something like Mounting Partitions... fail.
6. OK. I left this way and installed Linux deploy and reinstalled Linux deploy and installed kali Linux from Wi-Fi connection, it seems it got worked and after seeing many retrieving, validating, installing and configurating messages in Linux deploy, it seems me got installed.
7. But, I don't know how do I access Kali Linux on my this one plus one device which is running aicp 7.1.1 ROM.
Kindly tell me what step(s) need to run Kali Linux on my phone. I am interested to use above Kali.IMG, so that a fresh new installation can use this IMG which have bundelled many pre configured modules.

May I ask you why did you install it as a guest os and not as dual boot with Multirom?

Sorry, I can't get it working on my device either :/ I just need to figure it out, I'm 100% sure it would work with the correct settings...

I tried it a couple weeks ago and it's surprisingly functional. Here's my settings: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B1HrmNJiLNhjb04ydWlpaktPNkU
Press the button at the bottom-right, configure, then go back, press the three dots at the top then press install. After it's done, go to your VNC app of choice (I use VNC Viewer), add IP address localhost:5900, connect then enter user password. Ta da!
Btw, the reason you couldn't get it working is because you downloaded an image and used that, when Linux Deploy does everything for you.

Thanks for your reply. I will try your way when I will be in WiFi network area. Since, in my region network issue exists, I want to learn Kali installation by offline downloaded zip file so that :
1. Network issue can be override.
2. If I changes the ROM, I can play with zip on different ROMs.
So, please give a try by installing zip file as and when you gets spare time and kindly post your offline steps.
