[Q] Nexus 7 and desktop Ubuntu newer than 13.04 or 12.04 LTS

Hello,
I succesfully install Ubuntu 13.04, but it's too old and donť have repositories (404 in terminal). Is there some option how get newer version? Or maybe older LTS 12.04 which still have support. But only I can install that only over Windows (I find some tutorials, but only for Ubuntu).
Or if someone have good tip some linux distro (which have still active repository) or some other OS.
I trying search some interesting option how I can more use N7, because when I bought Mi2S, then N7 was so slow.
Thanks

Hi I have that same problem about repositories. And im now trying to find any results for it but everithing is suspended from original servers and old.
But if I find something then I write to you. And sorry for my bad english

Thank you, if you send me some information
A jen tak mimochodem, můžeš pak napsat soukromou zprávu ve slovenštině, jestli město co máš souhlasí.

Unfortunately, Ubuntu desktop for Nexus 7 was discontinued when 13.04 was released. Maybe you could use the regular repos and see what happens?

If you trying repos in 13.04, then you will see 404 errors, and you can not use some newer repos because stability will decrease. Too bad, N7 is still interesting device and with linux it can be more useful, because Android is quite slow and laggy (4.4.4 and new flashed) compare to my Xiaomi Mi2S.

Can I compile a kernel for I9500 on a 64bit machine?

As the title says can I compile android kernel for I9500 or any other android devices on a 64bit machine booted with Fedora20? Do I need any specific libraries? I have libncurses already installed. Thanx in advance.

{Q} Custom ROMS (AOSP/CM) for Galaxy A8 (SM-A800F)? Any possibility in Future??

Hello all
I was wondering if there will be AOSP/CM ROM for this device, not a single ROM is available and no dev is interested to work on such a great device.
Such a totally crap device, still stucked on 5.1.1 since launch, no dev is interested in the development either, where android n announced already, we are still waiting for Android M update, i wasted my money on such a **** device, will never buy a sammy mid range in future, m totally fed up with this

I think because there are few developer with that phone and they can't test their work. You can port ROMs such as CM to you phone by your self. There are tons of guides and forums. All u need is a linux OS (such as ubuntu, debian and others) and sources.

yep, I'm on kali and I use windows 10 to play games, so the only thing is: take care when partitioning. After you installed ubuntu there is a bootloader called "GRUB" and there you can choose if you want to boot windows or linux

Huawei Y5II - CUN-L01 Kernel

First of hello hello to everyone here
I'll try to be as straight as possible.
I am having trouble compiling stock kernel from Huawei's source code for my device - Huawei Y5II - CUN-L01.
As this is my very first attempt to make a kernel i had a lot of troubles and i still do. After many attempts, i finally successfully compiled stock kernel for my device, the only problem is - it gets stuck in a bootloop which means something is wrong.
My device has mediatek - mt6735 with cortex A53 proccessor inside. I would like to ask is it possible to compile kernel for my device as arm64 ? Default one is armeabi - armv7l. I searched all over google for as hard as could and i keep reading that my proccessor is actually 64bit. Now i want to know is it possible to compile the kernel as 64bit and will it work with my current stock rom ? If not, can someone please guide me in how i can get some error logs and get any info on why my phone gets stuck in bootloop after i compile and flash arm version of my kernel.
I know my questions may be newbie but i am having really hard time understanding all of this, if someone can put some guides on what should i do i would be grateful. Also, i have many defconfig files in my configs folder and at first i wasn't sure which one to pick, and after trying to see differences between them i can't seem to find any with the naked eye, eventually i downloaded kernel auditor on my phone and searched all the way through the props and found that i should use "hq6735_35u_b1n_l1_defconfig" because it says it was the "flavor" for my kernel.
Thank you in advance and i hope to get some help

I think your getting arm64 and armeabi mixed up and all. Defconfig basically means the settings for your device, does it use this touchscreen or that or should it use this driver or that.

I undesrtand that, and i think of armeabi and arm64 like windows x64 and windows x86 bit i am confused about my kernel because on the web it says my proccessor is arm64 and my current kernel is based on armeabi. Correct me if i am wrong but just like on pc, if proccessor is 64bit it can also run 32bit version, phones work the same way ?

Linux installation

Hey! I'm new here.
So the question is - is it possible to somehow install any Desktop Linux OS version? May be ARM version ?
Thanks!
