It boots already, but waits for somebody with the device to do more
testing
I have that wonderful device and I wish Linux on it. And I'd like to be tester.
I'm system administrator of one of Moscow commercial banks at Russia. And I working with Linux since 1997 (prefferred distributions Slackware/Slamd64).
I have a hw6515 as well and am hereby volunteering my device for Linux testing
I'm an IT consultant in CRM/Enterprise asset management and been using Linux off and on for many years...not really a Linux newbie but need to get my skills refreshed.
hello,
I have a bricked 6515 with the gsm part dead after a failed rom upgrade.
So my 6515 is very open for betatesting...
Do you know where to find tools & files to go to linux ?
What are the limitations at this moment ?
and how to manage the square screen ?
Thanks
Dim
let's start from here
hi there i'm searching to build a group of people to try together to build a linux system for hw6515
i have found a lot of info on how to start.
i will try to install Familiar linux distro and maybe if it work Android!
let me know if you are interested.
for now no beta tester is needed.
i know that it's years after the last post - however - FYI tried the wayback machine to get handhelds.org archive of linux resources for ipaQs - 6515 on the compatibility list, boots linux, but status of gui unknown
AND site reports that familiar does not install on this model.
I'm going to try the kernel and pkgs for the 4700 which is based on the same processor...just for fun.

Since we have the ability to install the full ARM-based distribution of Ubuntu Linux (in a "chroot", similar concept to a Virtual Machine), I think we may have the ability to install MetaSploit on the Galaxy Tab.
Can anyone provide any pointers on how to get started with this kind of effort? The instructions to install full Ubuntu Linux in a chroot are at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=836022&page=4
From within this Ubuntu Linux environment we can "apt-get install" just about anything from the ARM-architecture based Ubuntu Linux repositories using the Terminal Emulator. This means we could probably "apt-get install" most of the MetaSploit components, if they are available in ARM-architecture form.
Any thoughts on this are much welcomed. Thank you.
This should be no problem, it has been done on other devices, for pieces that are not already in package form you'll have to find and compile source....a good hint for the packages you'll want to look for a guide on how to install it on a Nokia N900
What has this got to do with Android development??
This should be in Genera section.
hey dude, i've been looking to port this for awhile without success, i can't understand how the guys at rapid7 did the port for IOS and not for Android... I've read that the key is to get ruby working on Android so far there is jruby i believe that isn't fully functional yet...
I heart your name atheist
Sent from my SCH-I800 using XDA App
I found a link to an article which seems to explain how to do this...
http://r00tsec.blogspot.com/2011/05/metasploit-on-android-htc-desire-hd.html
We should try this on the Tab.
Update:
I got MetaSploit working on the Tab! I needed to follow the instructions mostly from http://r00tsec.blogspot.com/2011/05/metasploit-on-android-htc-desire-hd.html
I did have to install ruby ("apt-get install ruby" at the command line) and Ruby Gems (search for the exact apt-get name) inside the chroot'd Ubuntu environment though.
I was able to enlarge the 2 GB Ubuntu image to almost 4 GB using the instructions posted on the blog shown above which provided plenty of space to install MetaSploit and other InfoSec tools.
The next goal is to get BackTrack 5 (ARM) running.

Any input is welcome.

Please note that this is a guide to how to setup an environment to create your own ROM, and to build a test AOSP ICS Rom that will work on an emulator. While it is possible to do all this in 32-bit Win 7, you will find it much (!) easier in 64-bit Win 7. The intention is to allow all the folks who have said they'd like to work on a ROM to get their feet wet. If you complete all the steps in this guide you will have a Vanilla ICS Rom that works in the Android Emulator. You would still need to modify the kernel for the Tegra and add the special radio and other drivers before porting to the Streak.
Of course you can skip step 4 if you are willing to either dual-boot Ubuntu, or go into Ubuntu full time. However I figure a lot of folks on here are still on Windows for one reason or another.
1) Make sure that the ROM for your Windows 7 computer is set to allow Virtualization. If you have a Core i7 this will be the default. Otherwise you will need to make sure to set it manually through the Setup that should come up before BOOT.
2) Download VirtualBox 4.1.8
DL Link here for VB:
http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.1.8/VirtualBox-4.1.8-75467-Win.exe
DL Link here for VB Extensions (necessary for USB, shared folders, etc):
http://download.virtualbox.org/virt...alBox_Extension_Pack-4.1.8-75467.vbox-extpack
3) Download Ubuntu 11.04 64-bit
DL Link here:
http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download
Make sure (!) to select the 64-bit version before clicking download
4) Install VirtualBox and Ubuntu:
Install and Setup Guide:
http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorial...ndows-7-virtual-machine-using-virtualbox.html
(Note that some of the images from this guide are from an earlier version of Ubuntu)
I personally recommend that as long as you have at least a Quad Core that you give your VB machine Two Cores and Two Gigs of RAM. For the HD size of your Virtual HD remember that the Android Source Code is almost 16 Gigs. For speed and other purposes I suggest creating a fixed size 80 Gig (or larger) Virtual HD. While this can be on an external drive, if you have room on an internal drive that will also improve performance.
5) Install the Toolchain (Android Build Environment):
http://mjanja.co.ke/2011/11/building-android-4-0-on-ubuntu-11-10/
The first three steps will take between 1-2 hours. Step 4 will take an hour or so as well. Step 5 takes multiple hours due to the size of the Android repo source library. Plan accordingly
Hope this helps!
Looks good, but its way easier to use a direct Ubuntu installation, dude.
So far as i can see, you can use the sdk on 32-bit, too.
Mind everyone he said this was for AN EMULATOR

And that it still requires tuning for the Tegra chip and the custom radios. This is not a new ROM, rather it is what you would need to do to setup an environment to create a ROM.Just saw so many folks saying they would like to help, that it seemed to make sense to show them how to get started. If anyone has gone through this and is ready to take that next step, this would be a good place to let folks know.

Support on 32-bit is "experimental" according to Google. As for a direct install, that'sonly true if you are ready to convert to Linux or dual boot. On a fast machine having the VM is actually pretty quick, and allows you to mess up without impacting everything else.
It's a tuto to creat a ROM for a smartphone or a computer?

This will be used to detail how to get LinuxonAndroid running on the GPad and the process of QPair support to bring new and interesting features to the project as a whole.
Step 1 - Install Linux on the tablet
We shall start by using the standard Complete Linux Installer to install and run Linux with the GUI pumped over VNC (Frame buffer method coming soon!), this method works on most devices and is the most universal but as the project develops in the coming weeks a better method for the GPad will be developed.
Anyway on with installing!
Root
First things first you will need to root your tablet, currently my tablet is running Stock V50020d with root.
The below will most likely work on other ROMs as long as you have root it should work!
(A custom ROM may be developed for further features.. watch this space)
Download
Now we have root you will need to download the below:
Complete Linux Installer
Terminal Emulator
VNC View (I recommend PocketCloud)
Finally download A Linux .img file from our source forge site HERE, I recommend and will be using Ubuntu 13.10 Small ext4. Once downloaded extract the .zip file and copy the .img to your devices memory (internal memory or sdcard).

Let me understand, you want to port QPair to linux that will run on the G pad?
Disclaimer: I'm also in the challange but the idea of running linux on the tablet is really interesting.

I guess @zacthespack wants to use linuxonandroid on tab and sync stuff with a third party such as keyboard, etc using QPair.
Another Disclaimer here Good luck to everyone!

Bingo!
With linuxonandroid running on the tablet we could then use QPair to allow the user to have a phone (or another tablet..?) as the mouse/keyboard for Linux
posted first steps in OP to start getting LoA running on the tablet.
Everything is running very well, I shall finish the guide shortly to get LoA running but really the app install guide will work perfectly.
Next step I will be releasing a special Ubuntu 14.10 image which will be the supported image for QPair features and other changes for the GPad.
it say I need a loopable kernel which I didn't find for stock LG rom...

Stock LG kernel does have loop support so you should have no issue here, if you are having another issue getting linux to start let me know, shall be updated the OP in the next few days

Howdy, cool project. Couple of questions. I'm looking for a reason to install Linux on my tablet, but also understand that I can remotely view my home system with vnc. So what would be the benefit?
Is there more control using Linux to Linux?
Does this mean I could open into my home system, make changes to my kernel, compile, and upload to a server from my tablet?? Late night insomnia while in the mountains would be awesome. I would have to tether my tablet to my phone for WiFi, and run through Linux? This sounds pretty awesome.
Tell me the reasons it won't work.
Pretty awesome OP. Thanks!
Cant log in ubuntu
Can somebody tell me why im not able to boot?im running lollipop with red kernel and before i was running kitkat and still the same.Im my g2 there is no problem but on tab doesn work.I download complete linux installer,busybox,terminal and vnc and i never get the @root.i trh also a differend image but nothing.Any help will be appreciate
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
.i will share my personal project with u, an operating system created with fun in mind .
.Note, that MdMxOS is only a customized and bit modified version of manjaro linux.
The link of my personal project: "MdMxOS a manjaro linux based distribution by Miordmiro for You."
MdMxOS
Download MdMxOS for free. Operating system for everyday usage. MdMxOS is an operating system that tries to outperform slow behavior on computers and are useable for everyday tasks.
sourceforge.net
and the link for myartworks
https://www.deviantart.com/miordmiro/gallery
now to MdMxOS:
- ZRAM
- custom branch selection in terminal ---> since version 6.0
"sudo mdmxos-upgrade-stable" -for stable branch and upgrade = default
"sudo mdmxos-upgrade-balanced" -for testing branch and upgrade
"sudo mdmxos-upgrade-unstable" -for unstable branch and upgrade
- custom themes because why not
- access to the chaotic repo
- ability to run on low hardware specs it can be used on requirements like 9.9 GiB storage space and 2.0 GiB ram
- based on manjaro linux and access to their repo
- plymouth boot animation
target people:
- more advanced users or just for peoples who likes to learn more about an arch based linux distribution
- if u want the manjaro stable packages but with the ability in mind that u can change it with mdmxos-upgrade for more newer packages

before i used MdMxOS i used Garuda Linux and made first wallpaper for desktop usage.
Now i created this and thought about it to share it with the worldwide community, its like about the opensource thing .

Very nice! Colors are too vibrant for me, personally, but I love the effort you put into it!

BTW, where is the link to your "open source" code?
I think also somewhere on gitlab, it's easier to fork.
Garuda Linux does not hide it.
For those who want to look at the original.
Garuda Linux, it's fast, it's fine, it's foss.

sry i missunderstood, hiding is the perfect word for that but u can unsquash the iso file and look at ur own, at the moment iam at the beginning and make many changes, i have no plan to share this like garuda linux or manjaro linux does. Btw Garuda Linux is awesome and Manjaro too and Arch Linux too i love them all. i also dont provide a support page or something like that, its on the arch user to handle my creation or misscreation as well. Thank you for reading this.
Arch Linux, the best way.
