This app works really great!

At the moment I am using "Ubuntu precise" with KDE. Ist works quite well. What do you use ? :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] superdave42:
I just installed Fedora 18 with Gnome on my Nexus 10 using this app.

I am having trouble to mount the USB flash drive to it ( using an OTG usb adapter)

I don;t know enough about linux to mount the USB drive

when I plug in the drive in android the path is

/storage/sdcard0/usbStorage
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] moorkai:
This application is awesome. Everything works perfectly. Well, not everything, but I guess that is chroot's fault. Anyway, can I somehow make digitizer work? I am successfully controlling my phone through x2x, although it would be merrier if I could use my phone's digitizer for input. I'd be grateful for any kind of help.

P.S. superdave42, try custom mounting that path in Linux Deploy's settings.

linux deploy to samsung galaxy tab 2 P5100

I have the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 P5100BUDLL1

Kernel 3.0.31-1121627

version Build jz054k.p5100BUDMD1

i have installed Linux Deploy by following the steps I was able to install Kali

I proceeded to install kali-full

but 'I still have problems with postgresql 9.1

and the wifi

wireshark with no problem only with airmon-ng does not recognize the wifi

and tells me to install 'iw-3.10.tar.bz2

I downloaded the 'iw-3.10.tar.bz2

I tried to install it in every way possible but nothing some advice

thanks to all

sorry I'm wrong the page post
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] moorkai:
It's okay. You are posting in the right thread as there's no official thread for this application in the Applications section, or at least I am not aware of it. Anyway, as far as my knowledge reaches, the reason why you can't mess with WiFi in a chrooted Linux installation is mainly because it is running in a chroot jail (feel free to correct me if I am wrong). In order to make Kali Linux (or any other Linux distribution installed through this application) able to manage WiFi state, I think you need to do some mounts that I'm not aware of at the moment, unfortunately.

EDIT: Try typing this command line (credit to Robertozzz for this post, check out the rest of it too) either from adb shell with superuser permissions or by connection to the SSH client run by Linux Deploy:

mount -o bind /dev /data/local/mnt/dev

Tapatalk seriously needs some text formatting, otherwise I need to type BBCode myself... and an option to preview.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] heavylildude:
hello nice to see someone using this beautiful app as well! there should be an official thread for this..

I manage to use both vnc uaing bvnc as well and framebuffer method.. vnc got that slight lag especially when scrolling image dense content on chromium, but framebuffer is buttery smooth!

I'm thinking of upgrading this GTN 8000 (I got the same processor as you mate exynos 4 quad 1,4ghz 2gb ram) to something with snapdragon 600 or even better 800.

anyone here with snapdragon 600 got experience with Linux Deploy? how much boost might I get from those beast? :cyclops:

thanks

Android 4.3 Supported

Just an FYI for anyone using this app. It does work in Android 4.3 with Debian. Not sure if it XVNC or Framebuffer work (download of Gnome failed), but I was able to get a chroot and shell to Debian. Looks like the developer himself hosts the downloads for the supported distros (the "MIRROR" variable in prefs), and I'm not totally thrilled about that... Nothing personal, I just like to be careful.

But on that note, the code is Open Source, and available at:

https://github.com/meefik/linuxdeploy

You don't actually need the github download. All of the real work is done with a shell script(s). After installing the app, you can find the workhorse script linuxdeploy in "/data/local/linux/bin" and this handles almost everything. Some pretty nifty code in there, a couple of cool recursion tricks I might use later.

If you're handy with the command line, you can forego the UI after initial setup/distro download.

<android> % su -
<android> # export MNT_TARGET=/data/local/linux/mnt
<android> # cd /data/local/linux

...To see the settings file
<android> # cat etc/deply.conf

.... To start the distro you already downloaded (Debian)
<android> # bin/linuxdeploy start

... To get into the now-running distro (this can be done from multiple windows in Android Terminal!)
<android> # bin/linuxdeploy shell

.... If the prompt ain't enough, test it out (hostname isn't standard on Android)
debian # hostname
localhost
...

Now, I totally hate that it downloads everything piecemeal after selecting a distro, but it may be that I just have the settings wrong. Not all distros worked for me. I got failures on finding "apt-get" when installing Ubuntu -- probably easy to fix, but I didn't look into it because I was new to chroot. I notice that there are updates in the github from just 3 days ago, so it's actively supported.

I liked his competitor Complete Linux Installer better in Android 4.2, because it's super newb friendly and explains every single step very clearly, and it worked the first time I used it. Unfortunately it failed on my Nexus 7 (2013) / Android 4.3, so I moved to Linux Deploy. Not regretting the change because I've learned a lot, but I hope to see both options on Android 4.3 soon.

For what it's worth, I'm running a stock ROM as well as CWM. Also, I read somewhere that Busybox is required, so that's already installed. Could it be because I'm trying to install it on my external SD card, and not my internal memory?

Kali Linux working with "Linux Deploy" app on S4 i9505

I've found this interesting post about Kali Linux working with "Linux Deploy" app on S4 i9505

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2400638

Another suggestion I would like to make you is to consider some alternative remote session that would speed up the interface like for example:

- xrdp (much faster than vnc)

- teamviewer or Splashtop for easier access even from another computer/phone in another network. Splashtop video performance and real-time interface is really impressive

With Splashtop you can just have your own Linux PC and connect to it anytime. You could avoid to to install ARM Linux on your mobile...

First of all, awesome app! Takes a lot of the steps out of getting a desktop OS working on our portable computers....

I am asking this here because I dont know where else I can ask it. So if there is a support/discussion forum specifically for the app somewhere my apologies for posting here.

Is there any way to do an install from ISO image? Kali is giving me a "failed getting release" error at the moment no matter how I put the path in (cross checked it on the site, but welcome to suggestions if anyone elses is working).

Thanks in advance.

Installation under Kikat

I was able to install linuxdeploy on my Galaxy Note 3 and my Galaxy Tab Pro running Kitkat 4.4

This is easy :

-1- Install Busybox somewhere (/system/xbin is fine)

-2- Change ENV Directory (in linuxdeploy/settings) from /data/local/linux to

/data/data/ru.meefik.linuxdeploy/linux

and hit Update ENV

-3- In a terminal :

$ su -

# cd /data/data/ru.meefik.linuxdeploy/linux/bin

# rm sh chroot

# ln -s /system/bin/mksh sh

# ln -s /system/xbin/busybox chroot

-4- Install your linux. It should work. And start the vserver

-5- In a terminal

$ su -

# . /data/data/ru.meefik.linuxdeploy/linux/bin/linuxdeploy shell

You are now in your vserver logged as root. You can change your password and add your user "android" in /etc/sudoers
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] shardsx:
Hi larpoux,

Just wanted to clarify your post here. Were you able to do this on your Tab Pro Kit Kat 4.4 with a SELinux Enforcing kernel, or did you get your hands on a Permissive kernel?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] fastguy:
You always have to have a permissive kernel and if possible, a samsung kernel which does not block SETUID. (nearly all samsung kernels do!). this seems to be necessary to be able to use sudo inside linux.

I'm using this on a Note 10.1 2014, with permissive kernel. Pretty good.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] retroben:
Looking to try this for a better refresh rate and possibly,better performance.

Can somebody help me with a "for dummies" guide so I can ensure I do it right?

Which distro in the list is the fastest with decent compatibility levels?

I noticed two odd ones called Gentoo and RootFS.

I am currently using LOA with the SMALL ubuntu on vnc,and want a buttery smooth refresh rate like somebody else got with framebuffer.

Does the non-vnc methods have much better quality for obvious reasons?

I get a crappy compressed DOT jpeg quality issue with bVNC on 1080P resolution.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] moorkai:
Roughly three months later ... maybe someone else will find my ramblings useful too?

So far, letting chrooted Linux to write directly to the framebuffer was the smoothest option for me (there are other options like the X server inside Android, but I doubt it could be more fluid than pure FB output), just make sure you have framebuffer access (eventually HW acceleration provided by a proprietary driver for your SoC/GPU) and a functional input method (OTG mouse, keyboard, or some X driver compatible with your TS).

Also, Ubuntu worked the best out of the box for me (Arch, Gentoo etc. users, feel free to disagree, this is only my opinion).
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] debernardis:
Your recipe worked wonders for my Linux deploy-based ubuntu 14.04 chroot which I transferred from my previous Note 2 with android 4.1.2 to my present Note 4 with 4.4.4.

anyone has idea for linux deploy on Sm-T531 tab 4 from samsung. i make all the sertings but then when i start the download, it gives an error checking mount points fail n install stops... what should i do?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] franzli:
Which method are you using (installation to image file or partition?) and are you running a stock ROM or something custom? I have no experience with the tab 4, but on other Samsung machines I briefly tried running linux deploy via touchwiz and got some error, maybe yours as well. Since I prefer CyanogenMod anyway (where it works just fine) I have to admit I didn't try really hard, I could imagine that it's got to do with the permission issues in kitkat, but I admit I've got no further idea for that. To close with some low-tech advice, sometimes it also helps to just reboot and then try again.

Btw, notice that this thread is actually for the S3 phone, so maybe opening a post in the forum for the tab4 or writing the linux deploy dev would be more helpful.

I installed the kali distro and it works amazingly!

Also because of the toolbar, i cannot minimize a page which is really obnoxious! Does anyone know how to either move the toolbar or how to click underneath the toolbar so i can make the page smaller??

Linux Deploy does not work

Hello guys,

I have a Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Version and I had been using Linux Deploy on my old tablet (Note 8.0 N5110) and my Smartphone (Note 4) some months ago. I didn't use Linux Deploy for some moths and therefore I had uninstalled it. Now I installed it again, but it won't work.

If I click the install button nothing happens. This is the only message I get:

>>> deploy

<<< deploy

My Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet is running TouchWiz Lollipop, I have rootet it and I have installed a custom XPosed version by wanam.

Only small issue I have is I have to keep the linux deploy app awake otherwise my non root processes will loose their network connectivity ...

... I wish they would make the app even darker to save some battery ;)

(if I want my non root processes to get their network connectivity back I can just go back to linux deploy (by the way there is an option in linux deploy to keep it "awake") ... or I can keep on charging my phone, in that case the non root processes don't loose their network connectivity ...)

I suggest you follow this updated tutorial

It will provide what you are looking for with more options.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] davidwilson83:
Solved!

I did this! I got it to work!! I followed the guide to the letter but I didn't completely replace the smali file with what is written here.

All I had to do a bit differently was I added 2 new strings to /res/values/strings.xml which were:

<string name="status_bar_day_formatter">%1$s</string>
<string name="tw_status_bar_day_formatter">%1$s</string>

Then I had to recompile SystemUI.apk and then decompile it again and found the ids for the 2 new lines I created in /res/values/public.xml

In DateView.smali all I changed was 'EEEE' to 'EEE' and then changed the first id to the same as status_bar_day_formatter and the second id to the same as tw_status_bar_day_formatter and that was it!

EDIT: I now have a little problem... the date in the top left of the expanded status bar which used to say Wednesday 5 June. 2013 now just says Wed. Oops. If I delete the line beginning with <com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.DateView will I get that original date layout back, or will it just not be there anymore?

EDIT 2: I deleted that line in tw_status_bar_expanded_header but it still shows up as Wed in the expanded status bar. I looked in tw_status_bar_expanded but there is no reference to the date anywhere in that xml file.

Please advise any suggestions on how to get back the original Wednesday 5 June. 2013 in the expanded status bar, but keep the Wed in the status bar?

Thanks in advance.

P.S. I followed your multi mod guide but it didn't work for me. All I really wanted is this day in the status bar.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hednik:
Quick one here, I hope. I flash a new ROM everyone few weeks or so and when I do it seems very fast at first then just starts to chug like no other. Happens with CM9, CM10, AOKP, Slimbean, helly bean, etc. I know it's not the ROM then. I do the standard wipe/reset and then flash the ROM, then flash the Gapps, then let it boot up and go from there. Not sure if I really need to wipe the cache partition, or cache, or davlik cache...but usually do. Why do they always seem to slow down so easily ?

I use a wiki widget, sound search, and the clock... nothing more and close apps out often. It just seems to chug when just navigating, or going through pictures, or just typing. Any ideas or good habits I should have ? Thanks !
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hednik:
Bad question? Anyone I can ask ? Thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheddleson:
One thing that I found to help was to reboot the phone every night. I flashed often, so I set schedule in titanium backup premium to redo my backup every night, and then reboot the phone. This dramatically helped the rom slowdown.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sthodupunuri:
I agree with this. Also, all roms naturally tend to get slower after use. One reason they get slower is due to human psychology. We become used to the rom's speed, so it seems slower after a period of time. Another reason is all the data that is created after you start using a rom. During day to day usage of your phone, a lot of caches and personal data is stored, so they clunk up your system and ultimately slow down your phone. Rebooting deletes a lot of temporary caches and restarts services that may have started leaking memory, so it speeds up your phone.
