A little of topic but anyone knows if there is a x86 build and a Vmware image?

Doesn't work, because Firefox OS is ICS based, and the Nexus 4 was shipped with Android 4.2. Too bad!

The FFOS is ICS based, this is true, but there is an update making it 4.x compatible as well. Gonna take a look... Def want that on this Nexus 4
powered by my Nexus 4 on Avatar ROM! :beer: :beer:

Any progress on this? I am a little overwhelmed when looking at building as OS, trying to learn though. If I could I would build this for my N4 for sure.

Find anything ?

And....what about Nexus7?

Any news on this?
Is there now a way to test FireFox OS on the Nexus 4?

Firefox OS can be run on android as Ubuntu?

It doesn't exist for the Nexus 4 because it can't run ICS.
But if you want to compile it for a device that runs ICS, check here.

Probably won't happen too many differences in the framework and sources etc, there is Sony Apps available though. -- Why didn't you just grab a Z1/2 instead of a Samsung if you want an Xperia ROM?

Compiling CM11 for SM-T230NU

Hey guys its troy here and this thread is to focus on getting a custom rom or Cm11 rom on this device (SM-T230NU). What I have so far is two devices that run a Marvell processor which is a samsung galaxy tab 3 7.0 and Nvidia Shield tablet. Now I'm trying to look for the one that's closer to this devices specs. After that I will try looking for their source and see if I can compile a custom rom. It would be really helpful if a dev can help me out with this along with you guys. So who's ready to have CM11.

the kernel source is required to build boot.img and recovery.img
you have a huge amount of reading to do. the galaxy tab 3 device forums have a large amount of information
in general and q&a to get you up and running.

when you have a question start by searching and reading, then ask your question, and while you wait for an answer

the kernel config is almost the same. you can use it for stock and custom roms and of course for custom recoveries.

Alright I decided to start developing on December 19th. But I have a question. Is there a 32-bit version to do android development instead of 64-bit?

android as you and i know it is 32 bit so you will be building a 32 system.
But to build android you require a 64-bit system [linux/mac] you just do.
However you do not need a 64 bit system to compile kernels.
search the difference between 32bit and 64bit systems and almost all questions you have on that subject will be answered.
Except maybe this one....
while you can only run 32bit applications/code/toolchains etc. on a 32 bit system
you can run both 32bit and 64bit stuff on a 64bit system.
if you are compiling code on a 32bit system you need a 32bit compiler/toolchain
if you are compiling an android kernel [32bit] on a 64 bit system you can use a 32bit or 64bit toolchain
as you will be cross-compiling, meaning compiling code on one type of machine/system [host] x86 or x86_64 [architecture]
to run on another type of machine/system [target] - 32bit - arm [architecture]
i would suggest using the 32bit toolchain.

Well I'm trying to compile a custom rom. Would I be able to do so on a 32-bit window system running virtualbox with ubuntu on it?
