I have not tested backlight regulating yet.

I'm not too good at kernel patching, but anyone who wants to play with the kernel will just have to type in "getkernel" and it will dl & unpack it.

Thanks for your interest!

It may work on a 4GB, I'm going to be doing some testing w/ one today. The current 8GB I'm using is only Class 4, and Bodhi works pretty well on this older card of mine.

I'm sounding repetitive, but thanks for your interest as well! At first, I didn't think anybody would care about this too much.
[Acer Iconia A500] newbkilla:
When can we expect the required files to be uploaded? (an estimated day perhaps?). And do USB peripherals work (e.g keyboard/mouse) and camera work? And do you think either eclipse or netbeans IDE will work when installed?
[Acer Iconia A500] chrisnave1:
Will this work with any Linux distribution?

I was wondering if your Linux recovery kernel will work with other rootfs images like ubuntu or kde or backtrack?
[Acer Iconia A500] apapousek:
It should be up tomorrow, but my ISP sucks. I'll try getting it up. I've noticed that usb keyboards and mice do work. The apple mouse doesn't, but that's probably just a kernel module I didn't compile. I'll get that in the next version, or you could compile your own, which is very fun to do (seriously, on of my favourite hobbies.) No clue on the cameras, haven't tested. Eclipse / Netbeans may work, you'll have to test and post the results, please.

Yes, it works with Ubuntu. I'm pretty sure you could load kde up on the bodhi image, log out, then select it as your sessions. It may be slow. I recommend taking a look at the Plasma Active 2 interface, built by the KDE folks. It's pretty sweet. I've just got done downloading backtrack, and it may work. Not sure, either.
[Acer Iconia A500] chrisnave1:
backtrack

could you possibly upload a backtrack raw image for our iconia... would love it, would also entice me to donating :) hehe
[Acer Iconia A500] apapousek:
GEEZ! I upload one or two distro ports and now YOU want ME to work on ANOTHER one?!?

Lol, jk. I love backtrack, of course I'll work on it.
[Acer Iconia A500] loband_ml:
Also, can you include the florence keyboard into the rootfs in the next releases?

I have troubles with it`s compiling (becouse i am noob:))
[Acer Iconia A500] dimon2242:
I look forward to)
[Acer Iconia A500] chrisnave1:
wow thanks much I am still an infant when it comes to compiling kernels or even rootfs image lol... I I was able to get aitcrack-ng but not gerix yet cannot find good repository for bt5 to add
[Acer Iconia A500] apapousek:
So, I now have the images up on the site. The next day or so I'll be working on an in-depth tutorial. I'll also post a tutorial for downloading / compiling the sources straight from the device.
[Acer Iconia A500] dimon2242:
and can not install on internal memory?
[Acer Iconia A500] apapousek:
With the current kernel, no. I stay away from that for now, to prevent bricking. You can compile a kernel using the source to aim at the internal card. This is not reccomended, and I take no responsibility for anything done.
[Acer Iconia A500] djxtabay:
Backtrack anytime! :-)

I'm interested for Backtrack for sure.

This website might be helpful for backtrack:

http://roms.tiamat-dev.com/tiamat_xoom/backtrack-5-with-aircrack-for-motorola-xoom/

It seems possible to use USB wireless adapter and drivers with the Xoom, I am in the office for too long this week and I'm starting to look at that very closely.

Running an RTL8187 monitor on backtrack on Iconia A500 might be something that could be done...
[Acer Iconia A500] apapousek:
Thanks for the link. You see, we don't have to worry about making Android compatible drivers. On the Iconia, my kernels don't boot under chroot. They load themselves, then point at any chosen partition. Simply compile the needed driver in the kernel, flash it, (or just load the module), and go from there.
[Acer Iconia A500] dimon2242:
i had in mind internal SD card)
[Acer Iconia A500] apapousek:
I'll compile you a special kernel to boot to internal memory. Which partition (mmcblk0px) do you want it to boot to? I cannot verify it will work. It may brick your device. I am not responsible for anything that may happen.
[Acer Iconia A500] newbkilla:
I type debian and debian for username and password and I recieve the following error message:

"GDM could not write to your authorization file. This could mean that you are out of disk space or that your home directory could not be opened for writing. In any case, it is not possible to log in. Please contact your system administrator."

/edit to add image taken on my phone.
[Acer Iconia A500] chrisnave1:
Use this

If you use the login: root and password: iconia you can get passed that but then what? I'm not sure but I got 1 step further heh.
[Acer Iconia A500] newbkilla:
I tried that too and i got further, yet I get to a screen that says quick launch and i see "Root Terminal". In the instructions, it tells us to get the nvflash.txt file and place it on our card...? How do we do that?
[Acer Iconia A500] apapousek:
Well, crap. I was afraid of this. Don't use bodhi as of now. I need to fix this. This is why a made a flashable image last time, to make sure this didn't happen. I'm going to get it fixed, soon.
[Acer Iconia A500] imprezzadude:
Hey there followed the instructions from the first post. I am able to get past the login prompt but not able to get a window manager up and running. Should we just wait for the next update? Thanks again for your work! ill be donating on payday lol!
[Acer Iconia A500] lpachuong:
Could it be possible for me to run these commands in windows?

sudo su

cd /media/bodhi/

tar -jxvf /home/name/bodhi_alpha2.tar.bz2

Thank you :D
[Acer Iconia A500] chrisnave1:
I am not aware of using the commands in windows you can probably unzip the bz2 with 7-zip but I'm not sure you'll be able to format your micro sd card ext4 in windows or do anything else
[Acer Iconia A500] loband_ml:
You can format sdcard in windows in ext4, but you can`t unzip files to the partition.

Try last version of Ubuntu or Mint - it can install themselve into one file on NTFS partition. You can run installation under Windows and delete linux as program.

TS, your "Alpha 2" doesn`t work. I unpacked bodhi and install recovery kernel, but when i booting i see many "failed" and when SLIM booted i see error (some about gnome, 644 rights - I forget). It is trouble with my device or with your release?
[Acer Iconia A500] ssman:
To newbkilla: Looks like permissions are broken. How did you copy FS to your device, did you do it as superuser?

To apapousek: Plasma Active is a ****ing win, to my mind. When I'll buy Iconia (in near future, I suppose), the first linux distro I'll use will be Mer with PA2.
[Acer Iconia A500] apapousek:
Yes, permissions, among many things, are broken. I'm fixing them now. I'm fully aware of them. They're why i had release 1 as a raw image, not a tarball

And this next image will be flashable from Windows. There will be tutorials
[Acer Iconia A500] loband_ml:
And can you write command to backup /media/ext4/ as tarball?

Waiting working build :(
[Acer Iconia A500] chrisnave1:
Cannot wait!

Cool thanks again for your hard work. How do I install synaptic package manager? Couldn't figure it out :(.
[Acer Iconia A500] FateZero:
Ok, maybe I am going something wrong and I have looked over this for two days after flashing the recovery and trying to boot with it what i get is.

Erasing Cache before SD Updates ...

SD update cnd:recovery

--update_package=SDCARD:update.zip

Booting recovery kernel Image

it hangs at this point.

I would be thankful if someone could help me with this.
[Acer Iconia A500] newbkilla:
You gotta boot up in android and run recovery again and load up the image and boot into it from there.
[Acer Iconia A500] newbkilla:
As of now, I know of the following things not working:

Wifi (doesn't even recognize any networks)

access to USB flash drive

screen brightness

the login problem using debian & debian

you have to automatically select the clock speed to get better performance

inability to install programs (I may be wrong on this, but you can't download any, and usb doesn't work, and you can't copy directly to the partition, and bodhi doesn't recognize the fat32 portion.)

To anyone still having problems, login with root and iconia. When you want to start up bodhi again, make sure you open up recovery, and re install the image from within the app (acer recovery installer) and then reboot into recovery from the app. As of right now, you are unable to boot regularly holding the volume rocker down.
[Acer Iconia A500] lpachuong:
Hi guys,

First of all thanks OP for sharing this :)

I am under capped internet atm but really want to try this out. I wonder if the files given above are all functioning well before I download them?

Thank you.
[Acer Iconia A500] apapousek:
The WiFi : you need your own nvram.txt, expect a tutorial

USB: Mount via command line, works

Brightness: Not too sure on this one

Login: fixed, uploading later

Clock speed: You can set to auto, max perf, or max batt
[Acer Iconia A500] apapousek:
And don't download the Bodhi image, as of now it's not complete
[Acer Iconia A500] nscxp2005:
Hi mate,

Sorry to ask in this thread, and but will you be able to make an Ubuntu Linux 11.10 version once you have Bodhi working?

Thank you for your time.

All the best,

[Acer Iconia A500] apapousek:
I may, but I doubt it. I personally hate unity. It may be sweet on the tablet, but I'm not entirely sure it's been optimized for tablet form, yet. I'll try, see what I get, and come back in a few days.
[Acer Iconia A500] nscxp2005:
Cheers mate.

Thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] loband_ml:
You can delete unity and install SLIM+XFCE.

Under SLIM i use autologin and login and work (florence virtual keyboard) without USB keyboard.

But on my current system maximum overclock=1000mhz and sound\brightness changing is unworking. It is the main problems.

Booting recovery kernel Image

And then nothing
[Acer Iconia A500] apapousek:
I was having that problem earlier. Flash stock recovery, then my recovery.img. Make sure your battery is fully charged (dunno if it helps, but mine was plugged in when it started working)

I know I haven't posted back lately, been a bit preoccupied with school & work. I'll try getting back to you all soon.
[Acer Iconia A500] isayeu:

[Acer Iconia A500] nscxp2005:
Ho apapousek,

How is everything progressing with Linux on the Iconia?

Are you still working on a guide for people to compile there own versions?

Thank you for your time.

All the best,

NSCXP2005
[Acer Iconia A500] apapousek:
Things are looking up. I sound like a broken record, but I've been uber-busy lately. Schoolwork, protesting PIPA & SOPA, etc. I fixed a handful of permissions errors. And yes, the guide will be up. No eta as of now, but I did write a few script to automate the whole process.

Can't wait to see for Backtrack or Ubuntu.

I have a question, would it be possible to boot from the USB and set our Linux Distribution on a USB stick? Is this something that can't be done for bootloader reasons?

With the chroot method, If I want to integrate the RTL8187 module into my Android Kernel, can I leave both the Internal wifi modules + the RTL8187? I tried to add the files in the modules folder, reboot recovery, clear dalvik cache, reboot, and my wifi wasn't working (not detected in iwconfig) and my RTL8187 was not detected either in the iwconfig. Any idea on this...?

Thanks and pretty good work don't give up!
[Acer Iconia A500] apapousek:
It should be possible, but will be painfully slow to use, etc. As for the chroot, I'm not doing anything with chroot. I hate it. Native Linux runs soo much better, and can use soo much more hardware.
[Acer Iconia A500] eyecreate:
bodhi linux on our tablets is great and I'm more excited for plasma active. Waiting for guides/improvements so I can be fairly sure I'm doing things right.
[Acer Iconia A500] v6ser:

[Acer Iconia A500] apapousek:
How extensively was the Debian from Linux Installer tested? I'm curious as using that as a base. Did it work after tweaking xorg.conf, and entering the wireless drivers?
[Acer Iconia A500] v6ser:

errr...i thought you were saying the native linux installer ==! I wrote about chroot for backtrack a while ago.

Btw folks, I'm wondering where the bottle necks exist when we run linux under chroot? With native linux, the main drawback is the sdcard...but under chroot, is it the graphic card or memory?

I think it's just the lack of having the system to itself. It uses whatever is left from Android. Another drawback is the lack of it's own kernel, just using Android's limited one. That's why I personally prefer native linux, but I do see the appeal of chroot.
[Acer Iconia A500] lpachuong:
I agree. It is kinda more efficient to have them run parallel, imo. I'm looking around for hints on how to improve the performance under chroot mode. What I am most interested atm is where linux gets memory allocation from while running in the background. Before and after I start up VNC, ram is still 300MB free???

Back to native linux, I would love to see a new package from OP XD

I just joined Verizon and that info on there is very helpful and I rooted and installed a custom rom and it wouldn't load at first it asked for login client but I figured that out and downloaded the app that fixed that now it needs other info like a Verizon user name and password to log on and I never set that up it just automatically worked when I got the phone. I've searched to no avail , or is there another way to check data usage and when the bill is due without having to deal with calling and talking to people?

Edit*

I put my number in where it asked for user name or number the last 4 of social for pw just winging it to see if that was it and it said sorry service temporarily not available then it forcebclosed .

Hi Leute,

hab ein Problem und hoffe dass mir wenigstens hier endlich jemand helfen kann.

Ich hab mir für mein Laptop nen Vodafone Mobile Connect WebStick gekauft

und möchte nun mit meinem Handy (X10 Mini Pro) über den Lappi ins Internet.

Weiss aber nicht wie das funktionieren soll. Hab schon Connectify probiert aber in

der Lite Version funzt es net. Geb auch keine 25€ für die Pro Version aus. Warum ich mit Handy ÜBER Pc ins Netz will? Hab mein Handy gerootet und dabei evtl nicht alles bedacht oder wie auch immer. Habe es mit SuperOneClick gerootet. Hab aber im nachhinein irgendwas von Wipen gelesen. Hab ich nicht gemacht und nun bekomm ich mit allen Apps, die was mit Internet zu tun haben, sprich: Market, Facebook, Youtube, Maps, Navi usw keine Verbindung mehr. Ins Netz per Browser kann ich aber das wars auch schon. Bitte um Hilfe: Entweder um Handy über Pc ins Netz zu katapultieren oder vielleicht sogar jemand der ahnung hat, und mir sagen kann wie ich mein Handy wieder zu 100% ans laufen bekomm.

OKay, So i installed update for checkrom revo4 via Kitchen pro. Everything is working like charm. Now i wanted to change the kernel. Downloaded it, but when it boots to cwm to install is, it says error mounting sdcard 20s, and counting down. no good

Tried manually mount sdcard in cwm, gives error mounting sdcard,

So how to proceed
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] t%20g:
Hello 'developers' here,

i want to make my galaxy tab 10.1 superpowerful on software side too,

i recently entered android world, i have been using nokia n900 [maemo] and i want to bring some of its powers to galaxy tab.

i want to run full desktop linux on top of android by chroot.

yes you are right, some people did "TABUNTU", i appreciate them, but you know it is not usable.

enough of story(its my first post, so wrote in that way).

¬I meant to say the chroot linux (tabuntu) is not usable, i guess the bottleneck in performance is becuase the chroot-image is stored on VFAT or NTFS filesystem ( wiz. mounted at /sdcard ).

>>>so, (1) need to repartition internal '/sdcard' memory in a *safer* way, create new 2GB ext3 partion and use it for chroot-ing. =>this will greately improve performance and makes it very usable(from my own experience on N900)

¬we can share resources b/w guest and host OS, by properly mounting( oh! i mean binding) the android filesystem hierarchy to guest linux (can be *buntu, arch,fedora,backtrack anything).. just check out how: qole.blogspot.com /2009/03/easy-chroot-for-maemo.html

>>>> (2) well, i need this bcoz, i want to run arduino IDE on gtab 10.1, so we need to share usb dev to guest linux. I have searched for /dev/sda , /dev/sdb or similar devices but couldn't find them in honeycomb,do you know where the USB device is located below '/dev/' in android

I am noob:D so i request experts here should give a try:):)

And one bottom line:" If xda-developers wishes, then everything is possible"

so, whynot a Xephyr port for android to nest a xsession instead of vnc, for chroot-ing?
