[myTouch 4G General] mickeyasamoah:
SO, I WAS READING ( as i always do) AND CAME ACROSS A GROUP OF DEVELOPERS WHO HAVE MANAGED TO GET UBUNTU,LINUX,BACKTRACK 5 AND OTHER OS's TO RUN ON ANDROID.

THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT U DONT HAVE TO FLASH IT AS A ROM OR ANYTHING. AND IT ALSO DOESNT MESS UP YOUR ANDROID SYSTEM. ITS WORKS LIKE A VIRTUAL MACHINE, TO BREAK IT DOWN IT RUNS ON TOP OF YOUR ANDROID OS JUST LIKE ANY APPLICATION WOULD DO. BUT IT NEEDS A KERNEL THAT SUPPORTS LOOP DEVICES.(Dont really know what that is)

I PERNSONALLY TRIED IT ON THE MYTOUCH 4G AND IT WORKS VERY WELL, ONLY FOR A LITTLE BIT OF SLOWNESS (that happens when u have lots of apps running in the background.) SO I SUGGEST YOU RUN IT AFTER A REBOOT.

I TESTED IT ON THESE ROMS AND KERNELS

ROM KERNEL

***DARK UNICORN RESURECTED**** ****COMB_KERNEL_WOB****** (dont know about the rest of thier kernels).

***PACman_GLACIER v22.0.1********* ************3.0.66_CODERZS_KERNEL_2************

*****CYANOGENMOD 7.2*************** ************ COMB_KERNEL_WOB*****

THERE MIGHT BE OTHER ROMS AND KERNELS THAT MIGHT WORK. SO YOU HAVE TO TEST THEM AND FIND OUT.

NOW HERE IS A LINK TO THE WEBSITE

FOR IT TO WORK YOU WOULD HAVE TO DOWNLOAD THE LUNCH APP (Its an APK file). THEN YOU DOWNLOAD THE IMAGE OF YOUR CHOICE BEING IT UBUNTU, LINUX,DEBIAN,BACKTRACK5 ETC....
