Is it possible to run Linux on low-end android phones? Possibly a method that does not need loop device support.
I'm talking about 600Mhz processor and 256mb RAM. And Damn Small Linux as the linux distro.
Is there any method to do this? I have seen methods for Ubuntu and backtrack but they require better hardware.

I want to run an Android application on Windows using eclipse that has been already developed on Linux OS. I tried to copy the source/res and menifest file of Android application form linux and started creating a new project on windows. I tried to replace the source/res and menifest of newly created Project on windows with one on linux. It was unable to generate R.java file.I wonder if java is portable accross platform then why I couldn't create and compile a new project on Windows from Linux.

And also apart from HTC sense, most of the customized skins dont look or feel as good as stock Android. (IMO )
So i am wondering are there any other phones running stock android just like Nexus one does.
How to get Android SDK 1.1 R1 (android-sdk-linux_x86-1.1_r1) working on 64 Bit Linux, Fedora 11 Beta RawHide. (this could surely be applied to other distros as well I suppose but I have just tested the above)
Download the "eclipse-java-ganymede-SR1-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz" eclipse.org. The version from Fedora repository doesn't work due to incompatible packages / versions. Make sure you have the Open JDK available and that Eclipse is using that one instead of the gjc.
Then install 32 bit library dependencies for Android SDK on Fedora 11 Beta.
$yum install glibc.i686 $yum install ncurses-libs.i586 $yum install libstdc $yum install libstdc++.i586 $yum install libzip.i586 $yum install libX11.i586 $yum install libXrandr.i586
I had a lot of problems with the emulator which using SDL and got the following error:
"SDL init failure, reason is: No available video device"
Found a good tip to see what libs is not found:
$cd $andoird_sdk/tools/ $strace ./emulator
It seems that the SDL couln't initialize the screen if not the libX11 and libXrandr wasn't aviable.
Next step was to get the ddms working:
The last line of $ANDROID_SDK1.1R1/tools/ddms has a - Djava.library.path entry pointing to 32 bit eclipse libraries which couldn't be used. So I renamed the library property so it wouldn't be read and instead use the 64 bit eclipse versions.
exec "$java_cmd" -d64 -Xmx256M $os_opts $java_debug - Djava.ext.dirs="$frameworkdir" -Djava.dummy.library.path="$libdir" - Dcom.android.ddms.bindir="$progdir" -jar "$jarpath" "$@"
Then getting the usb to work, follow the instructions on: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/threa... http://zachoglesby.com/2009/03/android-and-fedora/
The following did work at some point but isn't the prefered way to connect the android according to my googling: [url]
I have to start adb as root.
I would like a cell phone app to be able to determine how many cell phones around it are running the same app.I'm not sure what direction to start researching (API's,concepts) to understand how my phone would figure out what other phones are running the same app in a specific distance.
View 2 Replies View Relatedi successfully got into adb in recovery mode fairly easily on my ubuntu 10.4 laptop using the following method- this should also work for a linux live boot from a usb flash drive
in one terminal tail and follow log messages
~$ tail -f /var/log/messages
In another terminal run the loop
Then
1. plugin usb and keep it plugged in
2. remove battery, eject sd card.
3. put battery in
4. press vol- and power
5. after around 6 seconds, your terminal with the log will show something like "new high speed USB..."
6. press vol- to select recovery
7. press the power button
8. IMPORTANT- as soon as you see a new log entry (something like "USB disconnect"), pop in the sd card
check your loop terminal for adb. if it doesn't work, repeat at step 2
Android and Linux kernels started re-merging at version 3.3. People said that a short way down the road, android apps would be able to run natively in linux. the kernel is now version 3.6 and I've heard nothing more about running android apps in linux. people on these and other forums put a lot of great work into getting linux running on android devices. now with windows 8 coming out, the market will be full of both ARM and x86 based touch devices of all sizes and shapes. I for one would love to be able to boot up ubuntu on one of these devices, and use either traditional linux apps or android touch apps as my mood and situation dictate. so- any new word on when we will be able to run android apps in linux?

i read kubuntu 11.10 finally has integrated phone capabilities and is going to be heavily geared towards mobile devices URL....and development of Android execution environment for the android os that allows you tu run .apk in linux if so i think this would be full of win for kubuntu with it being the first linux distro with integrated phone capabilities and if the AEE was available that would just be the coolest phone ever

View 9 Replies View Related I have pretty much given up on trying to transfer files from my pc to my phone while running Linux.
I would guesstimate, 85% of the time, the transfered file gets corrupted. It happens on different phones and different Linux distros.
I would think the two would work well together since they both run on a Linux kernel.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI got a wacom graphic tablett wich I want to use on my Android Tablet PC. Of course Android hasn't got a working driver for it, so thats why I want to install an opensource linux driver. So my first question is, if this might be possible. The linux driver is made for a 2.6 Kernel which of course is not complete the same as my 2.6 android Kernel, but are they similar enough to at least give it a try?
And I got an other question: A grafic tablett is you know... nothing else as a weird mouse so am I might be able to tell Android that it shoud use a simple mouse driver for the graphic tablett? Because my mouse is running well on it.
I've been looking around for a solution to this - and so far have only found Gmote to be close to what I'm looking for. Actually Gmote hits it on the head, but I wanted to see if there were other options. Here's the setup:
We have a soundboard and speaker system. I would like to hook up a small PC (running either windows or Linux) to the soundboard so that whatever is playing from the computer will come through the speakers. And to control what gets played from the computer, I would like to use my Android phone.
I would consider streaming from my phone if it was reliable enough. I had first looked into streaming to the system via bluetooth - but that wasn't quite stable enough and dropped out too many times.
Is it possible to boot a linux or windows os instead of android? I saw something, if I remember right, there was an app which booted linux os. But it should be like custom ROM.

do you use rockchip based Android device with linux?
I've just bought Rockchip rk3066 based AllFine Fine10 tablet, and have trouble setting it up to work with adb on my Linux installation.
I presume problem is with udev rules, I use some giant package of udev rules but it does not contain rule for my tablet.
I have tried to manually define udev rule by inputing device ID listed by lsusb utility.
Quote:
lsub: Bus 002 Device 004: ID 2207:0010
Thus creating:
Quote:
# AllFine
ATTR{idVendor}=="2207", ATTR{idProduct}=="0010", SYMLINK+="android_adb"
But still device is not recognized by adb.
