Linuxmint or Ubuntu or Fedora - Off-topic

I am looking into dual booting windows 7 and Linux but in am not really sure which should be my choice I am used To fedora
But in read Ubuntu is the way to go but not sure which is Android friendly.

I personally enjoyed fedora a little bit more than Ubuntu. But Ubuntu is more android friendly as far as I know.

Same here and I do not like the fact that Ubuntu does not have a menu like Fedora
Sent from my DROID RAZR CDMA XT912 using Tapatalk 2

Ubuntu by default uses the Unity desktop environment. Fedora uses Gnome. You can get the the same menus you just need to install the gnome desktop environment on Ubuntu. It should be in the software manager

Also Ubuntu is much more geared toward android development then mint or fedora. While many of the guides you find for android development require or strongly recomend linux they are usually written for Ubuntu, and to get them to work on mint or fedora can be a pain due to package differences and other subtle differences.

Building from source is also possible on fedora I believe. You just need to install the build-essentials package as it installs all the required packages for building. And then install the gcc toolchain

Mint is based off Ubuntu...shouldn't be much probs there.
I prefer Ubuntu over Mint in terms of everything.
Fedora I never tried.
I heard it's possible to build android even on Arch Linux. (pretty cool )

I've compiled cm7 kernel on arch Linux. The thing with arch Linux is its time consuming to set up and you must know what you are doing. Incase anything happens you might have to investigate. Arch Linux is a great distro as everything is almost always up to date. (Software repo called AUR) and you have full control over everything. It is so customizable that no two installs are the same.

Really not sure why this is in Android Development as it has nothing to do with either.
Moved to off-topic.

there's no best GNU/Linux than Ubuntu 10.04 (for developpment and for daily use)

so what package is in what not do I need to install on is it too then

I just did the windows installer with the 30 gig partition. Do I need to downgrade?
Sent from my DROID RAZR CDMA XT912 using Tapatalk 2

You don't have to downgrade if you don't want too. Unfortunately compliling anything other then the master branch of AOSP only has experimental support on 12.04. While you can compile other stuff there are some tweaks and other changes you'll probably need to make. Also things that compile fine on 10.04-11.10 will often result in compile errors on 12.04. Obviously these problems will eventually be sorted out they just can make things frustrating at times.

im currently running ubuntu 10.4 lucid,
i'm installing it alongside windows but the partition for the linux is ext4,
its better to have a ext4 for linux rather than NTFS,
as for your question,
im not sure since i used the alternative installer,
you can try the regular installer if it has an option to install into a NTFS partition

[devq] dev question

Guys, i am gonna make a ROM
So, i need majority suggestions.
Here is what i suggest. Please counter-suggest me.
AndroidOS v1.6
Features:
iOS Like(Everything. Inclu. Notifications center)
Undervolt to 600MHz
RAM consumption(MAX 100MB, which means you have 378MB Free)
Undefeatable battery life
V6 Supercharged
3G Optimized.
KICKEDASSED Kernel
If you want to know why I choose 1.6, it is due to its lightness.

Donut? You seem to start on the harder side buddy. What I can suggest before making leaps and bounds is create a ROM on sources that are available. I am not here to discourage you, but you should know what you are trying to make. People who started cooking/deving here (including me) learned from simple things first.
My question to you is have you made a bootable personal ROM regardless of version or make? I am no dev, but I can suggest...
1. Start learning to deodex.
2. Start learning creating/cooking your personal ROM. (CM7/V20stock)
3. If you successfully created your own ROM, start installing Linux and learn to compile.
4. Share the ROM and ask for opinion.

Noob!! You can use a virtual box; and doesn't matter if you have windows 8, 7, vista or xp, you can still partition a HD and multiboot. As time goes by, every post you do makes you look even more noob.

I better liked your idea of porting ios.
Im also waiting for new threads where you start porting beos and amiga os and others. I would love to run dungeon master nativly.
Also remember: before you have anything done create new thread in dev section - let the people know that you are not sleeping.
And before starting actual development someone should make cool logo and boot animation - without those things every project will fail.

Do you have a custom ROM and Ubuntu or stock ROM with Ubuntu?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
AOKP 4.2 and Ubuntu. I was running the Multi ROM from the Original Android Development section. It does just that, lets you running several ROMS. I don't have much of a need other than AOKP and Ubuntu but it's awesome you can choose which ROM to boot. I wound up screwing up everything last night by messing around. I wiped my entire tab. I loaded Ubuntu on my PC and managed to reinstall Ubuntu on my tablet, while wiping out everything. So now I have to redo everything. That's what I get for messing around with things I have no idea about. But for me thats the only way I learn.
If you want to run Ubuntu too, check out the Multi ROM. Works very well for me and seems like for quite a number of others.

have you considered Multiboot? it allows you to dual (or triple, quadruple, whatever) boot android and ubuntu (or anything else). i haven't gotten it working yet, but many others have.

I have Multiboot working on my Nexus 7, it's quite easy actually:
- First flash an working rom to your Nexus
- Flash the modified recovery using fastboot flash recovery xxxxx.img
- Flash the Multiboot ZIP using the recovery
- Flash the modified kernel ZIP using the recovery
Reboot and you will see the Multiboot boot selector
Currently I have JB and Ubuntu installed on my Nexus 7, trying to get WebOS and Bodhi working as well

Ubuntu Touch?

Just curious. Is anyone working on a port of Ubuntu Touch for the RAZR i? If the answer is yes then awesome, if not then I'm gonna give it a shot. Would you guys be interested in using it?

I was just reading up on it and officially they use cm10 as a base but they say you can also use an aosp ROM as a base. That means I could theoretically use the retail EU ROM for the RAZR i as the base and make porting a lot easier
Sent from my XT890 using Tapatalk 2
I'd be interested if it's installable as a dual-boot (and yes, that's possible; look at the HP Touchpad (which I also have) which now dual-boots Ubuntu Touch and webOS).
Dual booting would totally be possible. Just have to use a boot loader that can handle it. Don't think there exists a custom boot loader for the RAZR i yet though. Although I don't think it would be too difficult to install syslinux for example.
Sent from my XT890 using Tapatalk 2
Maybe we could use moboot like the HP Touchpad? It's open source so in theory we could compile it for the Razr i.

It's definitely possible. And even easier than porting an android rom. You can use any aosp ROM as a base. Ubuntu just needs the kernel the drivers, and the radio. That's it. There are step by step instructions in the Ubuntu wiki on how to "plug in" these files into Ubuntu touch, then you compile, and flash using adb. It's fairly straight forward. Once it's working, I'll work on porting a boot loader that supports multiple partitions. I know that's possible because I'm currently dual booting cm10 and Arch Linux on my evo 3D.
Sent from my XT890 using Tapatalk 2
I'd be interested in trying it out, but I also want to encourage this because it sounds like it would give us a good AOSP base to work off of for other Android ROMs.

linux on raspberry pi ?

it is possible? linux on raspberry pi. i work in linux and i dont know if it is possible. install linux
It is possible
Because the official system is modified debian

I think every OS for the pi is Linux based
Sent from my XT860 using xda premium
There are several flavours of linux on the official download page below.
There is Raspbian which is based on Debian, and Pidora which is based on Fedora.
There is the rather minimalist Arch-Linux, if you really want to roll your sleeves up.
Also for good measure, there is a version of the RISC-OS that ran on the Acorn Archimedes machine, although this is a non-linux OS.
Write the OS images to your SD card and turn it on. That's all there is to it.

No, only the popular ones. For example the already mentioned RISC OS is not a linux. There's also a plan9 port. Apparently some people are also trying to port Haiku.

To get a fast overview about the most operating systems aviable for the Pi go over at the official Website and go to the download section.
If I remember correctly there are the following operating systems aviable: Raspian (modified debian), debian, Arch-linux, pidora (modified fedora), Risc Os, Raspbmc and OpenELEC (Raspbmc and OpenELEC are xbmc ports)

I'd recommend starting with Raspbian, as most development samples, software and stuff is being made/written for the default distro.
Which is based on Debian anyway, so it should be easy enough to use.
noobs
http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads
I recommend downloading noobs and install raspbian. that's the easiest way for getting started. And the good thing about noobs is, that you can easily reinstall the os after you made giantic mistakes and destroyed the system

u can get link for all OS available for Raspberry pi here
^ awesome! Thank you!
Thank you!
I used debian based, but i want i know if is better, fedora or archilinux for pi, who manage better resources?? because i used pi like a server files and torrent but i try run xbmc in debian dont run well.

You can use Berryboot to have both installed.
I use OpenElec rather than xbmc, IMHO it runs a lot smoother.
