EDIT: I can't post to XDA due to the fact that i just signed up for an account, but look at fards' copy of my post to see how to install Ubuntu on your Dell Streak
Here's Pats Post on modaco;
although it would be nicer to keep development discussion to just one thread, the more constructive input the better
Hello All,
I'm attempting to natively port Ubuntu and/or Debian to the Streak. With it being such a powerful device there really is no reason it SHOULDN'T be running a “desktop” operating system. However, implementing his is quite a difficult task, so if any and everyone's help would be very much appreciated.
In the mean time, this is my first guide on how to get ubuntu running piggyback on the Dell Streak. After quite a while (and numerous different trials), I have found that this is the easiest way to get Ubuntu Mobile up and running fast. All commands can be done through either ADB shell or the terminal emulator on the phone.
This was *NOT* done entirely by me, but is a culmination of the effort of lots of people in the android community. I just modified it so that it would work on the Streak.
**This Installation DOES NOT install Linux natively, and as such is should not be destructive to your Android system, however i take absolutely no responsibility for anything that happens and you do this COMPLETELY at your own risk**
Here is how to do it:
1) Root your phone. There are plenty of guides on how to do it, so find one and get root access on your phone.
**YOUR PHONE MUST BE ROOTED. THIS WILL NOT WORK WITHOUT IT.**
2) Download Ubuntu Mobile Bundle: http://uploading.com/files/bbm6b311/ubuntu.zip/
This contains an image of the filesystem as well as other necessary scripts to get it working.
2) Busybox - Install Titanium Backup from Android Market - if you press the "Problems" button it will install Busybox on your phone for you (Feel free to uninstall Titanium after this is done). This is the fastest and most pain free way to install busybox on the streak that i know of for now (the other ways of doing this ARE NOT fun...)
3) On your SD card's root directory, create a folder called ubuntu and extract all files in the ubuntu mobile bundle there.
4) Replace the bootubuntu executeable file in the ubuntu directory with mine, found here http://www.mediafire.com/?fi011w4fbmymw3y
5) Unmount phone from computer. ADB and Android Terminal will not work if the phone is mounted.
5) Download a terminal from the Android Market - I used Jack Palevich's Android Terminal Emulator (android market search: terminal) but anything similar should work the same
CODE
Code:
su
cd /sdcard/ubuntu
sh ubuntu.sh
6) Ignore any errors thrown up by ubuntu.sh. From this point, all that is needed to boot ubuntu is just to enter this:
CODE
Code:
bootubuntu
To start ubuntu from now on, this is all you need to do.
You should now have ubuntu working on your laptop, and while it DOES connect to your phone's internet sources, it DOES NOT yet have a graphical interface.
Here is how to add one:
1) Update the system with the following commands in ubuntu:
CODE
Code:
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
The first one updates the package lists, the second one downloads updates to the system itself.
2) Install TightVNC in ubuntu:
CODE
Code:
apt-get install tightvncserver
3) Configure TightVNC:
CODE
Code:
export USER=root
vncserver -geometry 800x480
For security purposes, it is recommended that you assign a password to your VNC server when asked.
4) Download Android VNC Viewer from the market
5) Configure Android VNC Viewer:
Change the port to 5901 and type in your password that you entered before.
Other Problems
There appears to be a bug with the X window server sometimes refusing to connect to VNC. DO NOT change any settings on Android VNC Viewer, instead open a terminal and run the folloring command:
CODE
Code:
rm -R /tmp/.X11-unix
What Does Not Work – Will Try To Fix
Keyboard from Android VNC Viewer
Shutdown – Does Nothing
Reboot
Log Out
Native Install
I hope you guys enjoy this, and I can't wait to get your feedback.

there was a thread about this but it wasnt work on me. now i am downloading and i will inform you again
what is the address for vnc ?
OMG! Could that be any slower on the download?
EDIT:
That sounded totally ungrateful - sorry!
Thank you very much for this
yeah works fine without problems.
it is better from g1 but not as well as a netbook. so only experimental use i think
I connected to the loopback 127.0.0.1 on 5901 and it worked - haven't seen how to connect to it remotely though
Edit:
Reading is fundamental - I can connect to it form another machine
now to fix the keyboard issue
in terminal emulator there is a note : localhost:1 vnc could work properly so i connect with only port and password.
is it possible to install jolicloud since its an ubuntu based system?
Newbie questions, sorry....
Before to try this port, just some maybe stupid questions for you:
- Still working the phone function?
- Is it easy to go back to standard or Steve Streaks Roms?
- Are there lack of drivers for bluetooth, gps, audio, wifi, etc?
Thanks.
No your missing the point here, this isn't an OS separate to android. Think of this as an app it runs on top of the android system. Also this is very experimental most features would be limited and no ubuntu can't be used as an smartphone os -No phone...

1) Ubuntu does not replace android, and the UI only runs in a VNC server, so you can switch back and forth between ubuntu and the phone app (or angry birds?)
2) I installed mine on top of DJ Steve's 1.8.1 rom... It's not native, so it only runs on top of android instead of replacing it
3) Haven't tried audio yet, but it should work (let me know how it goes)... internet connectivity works and provided you have an internet connection enabled in android you can use tools like APT or Firefox in ubuntu... only problem is keyboard is a bit wonky...
For those who had trouble figuring out how to set up the VNC, here is a picture of my VNC configuration on my phone. If you find out the phone's IP address you should even be able to VNC into it from your computer (if your on the same wifi network)
Also, openoffice.org

Is anyone actively attempting to get Ubuntu running native?
audio not working
keyboard not working
also lots of lags.

Yes, i'm looking into it, but it's quite an uphill battle in order to get it working. I'll let everyone know when we make some progress.

cause you are running 2 operating systems at the same time
But seriously, if ubuntu can run native (no android in the background) then the lag would be gone, and (if set up right) audio and keyboard would work.

Im wondering if I install a rdp server instead of vnc if I can get remote audio working.
Ill post with whatever results i get once I'm done waiting 2 hours for the ubuntu image to download.
As for lag. I had a n900 running @600mhz and was doing a chroot into ubuntu and it ran fine, but it used xpyher not vnc. Is there any embedded X servers for android yet? (I highly doubt it)
data requirement for updating GUI pkg of Ubuntu
Can any body tell me size of the data required to update to gui ......as i m not using wi -fi i hv to stick on gsm data usage which is limited in my plan
Very cool!
I had lots of trouble rooting my 2.2.2, but finally got it done by running Gingerbreak twice in a row on a cleanly re-started Streak.
Thanks for a fun gig!
**Microsoft Windows ONLY*
This installer is for new people looking to root their HTC Thunderbolt (not sure on other HTC devices but should work.) I compiled an SDK installer that installs all the necessary files to the directory of your choice (default C:\sdk) to your PC. This installer also includes HTC Sync for the Drivers as well as Java if you do not already have Java installed.
So if you're new to Android and want the tools to root, this might be the place to start before making that big step.
**If you have problems with it installing, try right clicking and running as administrator
Android SDK Installer with HTC Sync and Java v3.0 - 117 MB
*This is a pretty good size file but remember it also includes HTC Sync and Java within the installer.
*You cannot download Java and HTC Sync at the same time, so be patient.
*If you do not want to install HTC Sync but want the driver allow it to install them and then cancel out when asking to install HTC Sync.
*If you already have Java you can cancel out of the Java Installer.
**Download might take longer depending on your Internet Connection.
Please let me know what you think below.
Thanks!
Changelog:
v3.0 - Maintenance Update
v2.0 - Fixed Directory Issues
v1.0 - Initial Release
Also, here is a great tutorial brought to you by Captainkrtek.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?p=9959449
The only difference in the tutorials is the path.
The path for adb with this installer will be: C:\sdk\platform-tools
*Big thanks to CoolSilver for helping me test this out
Looks good! But where's the link?
Sorry, was still uploading it. Its updated now.
Tried it out, works fine. ADB setup and working.
Such a good idea. Trying to talk someone through installation of sdk is kind of maddening. Do we still have to add the path?

No, it auto installs to C:\sdk
C:\sdk\platform-tools\
This will help a lot of those I see struggling with root not knowing anything about sdk/adb. Great post. Perhaps linking a guide to adb will help people as well?

Norton Antivirus Deletes it once downloaded, Its Saying it a bad Program.
Im going to Disable it and give it a shot.
failed msxml 4.0 sp3
failed windows media format 11 runtime
first time i ran with java installing also and nothing installed, so i reran it after and this time the first two failed, im assuming i do need both, should i get them from the source instead?

Hmm, strange. What version of Windows are you running?
Also, check to see whether you already have java installed. If you do then java is not necessary to complete the installation successfully.
Great job man great contribution! Cheers to you

Glad you were able to get it to work!
Thanks for this!!! My plan is to slowly get to root. I want to try to push a few apps first.
This works really well. Made setting up adb and rooting the thunderbolt so easy.
Thanks I used this to help root my phone.
Only issue I notice is that when I click sdk manager.exe the console comes up shortly and dissappears after about 2 seconds. How do I fix this? Is it because your program only installs the non-jdk version of Java possibly?
Any tips would be appeciated
Has anyone tried the Pipo W4S? I've been wanting to try one of these dual boot tablets, but I personally wouldn't want to touch one unless it's got at least 64GB of storage otherwise the two OS's will just take up too much of the 32GB space. I suppose I could get the Teclast x98 Air 3G, but for 64GB it's pretty expensive compared with this.
It looks like it may be a spiritual successor to the Pipo W3, just updated with more storage and dual boot.
Yes i got one, nice tablet over all. But space distribution is not ok. For android 4.4.4 - 8gb, ~4.7gb free. Rest is for windows ~46gb free.
I have managed to resize android and windows partitions. Android now have 37gb, rest is for windows. Also android on this tablet comes without google services, so you wont have play store and all google apps. In the end managet to install them by hands to system partition only after i got root on it.
Hi, I’ve just bought this tablet. Could you coach me how I can root it and install Google Play? Thanks.

I have 2 phones, a samsung galaxy note 4 (tmobile) and a zte zinger (tmobile). One is a flagship, the other is a temporary replacement. I've attempted to get clockworkmod tethering working on both, but the tethering program wouldn't start. I'm on windows 10 as the title says, and I've done everything from uninstalling and re-installing clockworkmod tether on windows and my phone to disabling driver signature to re-install drivers for both phones, as well as replacing the ADB files from a fresh/latest install for ADB into the win32 directory to running it in compatibility mode and/or administrative mode. I verified my copy of ADB works inside C:\Program Files (x86)\ClockworkMod\Tether\win32 so I know it's not that.
Here's the only line (or 2) from the log output:
C:\Program Files (x86)\ClockworkMod\Tether
""
And then it stops.
Same here. I upgraded, and I can't uninstall OR reinstall the app either. It says I need to insert the CD-ROM for the software -.- Seems like an MS issue, but hell, who knows?
Sadly Koush hasn't made any updates to the app or PC software since February and seems to be ignoring all support requests (I've emailed, left a bug report, etc and got no response whatsoever). Windows 10 has definitely broken something with the tether, but without the dev's help I doubt it's fixable.
Just want to add that I am having the same problem. All i get is "C:\Program Files (x86)\ClockworkMod\Tether". Hopefully this gets fixed. I doubt Ill ask for a refund since Ive used the hell out of this app, but I do not want to buy another app just for Win 10.
Exactly the same here. Very frustrating.
Exactly the same here. Looks like a MS or windows 10 problem.
Hope the dev can fix it.
J
guess what.. same problem.. emailed and no response from tether anyone have a fix yet?
This really sucks. I only went to 10 on my laptop to test it out. Sadly its the only thing that uses tether. :crying:
*PDANet+ works great for USB tether. Not so much with the hot spot feature. The full version is $8 so eh... It works though! No root needed for USB tether with PDANet.
Has @Koush released the source for the PC side app?
Sent from a potato using Kung-Fu
Same problem - hello @Koush ! Any progress on this?
Thanks,

Looks like he took the money and ran. Very unprofessional. Everyone needs to remember if/when he releases a new app. I will be the first to say HELL NO. not getting my money.
Windows 10 android tethering apps
I'm on metropcs (t-mobile carrier) on the 'unlimited plan'. I came here seeking support for clockworkmod tether under Windows 10. I am not willing to 'downgrade' back to Windows 7 behind Clockworkmod's lack of support. I can report that the paid versions of both PDAnet and EasyTether work well enough. I would prefer Clockworkmod for the sole reason that it uses real/regular ADB as its middleware, so I can still use other apps like Vysor (to control my device) while tethered. Unlike PDAnet and EasyTether which seem to use hacked version of adb and prevent any other normal usb-pc connectivity (no regular adb apps, so no vnc/vysor). That's a big deal for me since I put my phone is an external antenna holster, because the android device is my sole source of Internet, here, and the ability access my phone via the computer screen makes my life easier. I hope CWM Tether gets fixed, but since they don't seem to care I hope someone comes along with a better product (using real ADB and more support).
Same here - doesn't work on Windows 10
@Koush - you gonna man up?
Guys, I've finally made CM Tether work on Windows 10!
Installation guide for Win10:
At first install CM Tether on your PC as usual.
Then get OpenVPN installer (you can google it)
Uncheck all checkboxes except TAP Virtual Ethernet Adapter in installator if OpenVPN isn't needed.
Install it.
Just run Tether as admin.
It worked for me, contact me if it didn't for you.
thanks
Thank you so much t1meshift! This one worked for me!

Good info, but rather than downloading the OpenVPN installer, get just the TAP-windows NDIS6 package instead.
filename is tap-windows-9.21.2.exe, available from same OpenVPN download page.
Then it works! Awesome.

The main thing I want to achieve is 3d acceleration, so I be able to run games or apps with 3d content.
Also I have problems with updating Google Play Services on it...
I'm using Phoenix OS 2.6.3.404 on VirtualBox 5.1.34

Sorry, I can't help you with this problem, but I advise you to dualboot Phoenix OS with Windows.
About the Play Services updating, the Phoenix OS toolbox is a solution to install a newer Gapps.

The problem is I'm on Linux Debian/Ubuntu, that's why I working with VirtualBox. When I had windows, I just used Nox an Memu (Emulators) to play games, but on linux I can't find any emulator with 3d acceleration and gps support. I don't want to mess up with my partition table, and reserve space which I possibly not use. This is big advantage of virtual machines - they can create dynamically expanding hard drive images.

Although I'm not a Linux user, but I used to install Zorin OS before and failed, but I use Live USB at the moment, so I think you have to use Wine.
First, install Phoenix OS through the Exe installer to the C Drive.
Second, you'll find where Phoenix OS installed at /home/username/.wine/drive_c/PhoenixOS.
There's also a folder that contains grub.cfg, I don't remember where it is, you can copy Phoenix OS entry to your own grub.cfg.
I didn't try but that came up to my mind randomly.
If you're an average Linux user you'll understand.
