That would be something like Ubuntu mobile?
from that pic I think it’s arch or dsl
It’s Debian
:3 cool
Yeah *o*
As an everyday Linux user, I am really glad to see Debian (well, recognized by Iceweasel) on the good old Gio. 😀
More technical details please. 🙂
What kernel is used?
How do you boot it without Android?
Is the whole system located on the SD card?
Have you got bluetooth and mobile data working?
1. 2.6.35.14 with a lot of changes
2. Just like on normal desktop PC
3. Yes, because Debian won’t fit to internal memory
4. Not yet, but working on that
You could try Ubuntu mobile instead 🙂 although a linux desktop would also be awesome
I don’t think the small screen would play too well with Ubuntu touch.
that is ingenious. waiting impatiently.thank you
I really like the work of this. that is best
Well, it is an interesting project to give a try for a day, before one gets bored. But i think, with your talents guys, you have to direct your energy and time to something more useful, like Ubuntu Touch.
why not Ubuntu Touch?I read that you can compile it like a cyanogenmod and it is more usefull than a common linux desktop like this…
How can it happen? I thought linux could only run on x86 or x64 based CPUs with SSE, MMX, AES etc. instruction sets and not ARM cpus like qualcomm snapdragon and nvidia tegra…
Linux can run on everything, even on AVR
Android is based on linux.
Maclaw, how do you boot direct on linux? I think that gentoo should be awesome option, choosing -march=native on device.
wow, linux desktop on mobile? I think it’s something big.
the control panel how will use that? like terminal emulator or like what?
I mean the control codes still linux codes or like terminal emulator?
is it soppost to be a emulator?
No, it is a real debian.
Wow Marcin, i’m glad to see that. I often tried to install Linux as a Emulator on my Ace but don’t get it working. So I hope this will be cool 🙂
BTW: Touch works? 😀
Is it really 100% native linux or just linux for android? Do you have direct access to video and audio hardware? This could be great for emulators and porting apps from other arm linux devices like the OpenPandora.
Have you tried building a native app? It would be very interesting to compare the performance of a native linux app to one running on Android, specially a game or emulator.
Dual-boot Android and native linux would make our phones perfect.
100% natively.
is it based on CM7 like debiandroid on XDA or is it completely native, also how are we suposed to make calls and text with debian? I’m not really getting how you are going to make that happen.
anyway really nice project.
It is real debian runing natively on Gio/Ace.
So what’s it gonna be like? dual boot with android? And phone calls and text too? or just Ubuntu? 😀
Cool!! How complex is the job? I´m thinking of the same job to an allwinner A10 HTPC. For now I´m just understanding the boot process.
THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!! CANT WAIT FOR DOWNLOAD! Btw suppose u sucessfully port the linux to our device how we will port it? and what could be file size?
I mean how we will use it
i;ve installed debian but it’s REALLY LAGY! If u make it smooth? it would be really cool!
This is the surprise you were talking about?
what about calling/sms?
Too soon.
A lot of change would be needed wow guys good luck about that and I’m looking forward about it 😛
Maclaw….Hats off to you.
Complete it Fast…
i wana see soon on my Galaxy Ace device.
Will the S3 mini be blessed by this port too?
Good idea, but I think this won’t be so useful in old and low-end devices like Ace and Gio.
Nice picture & nice job……….. 🙂 (y)
Damn, nice one. Any problems with wifi/bt/gfx/audio drivers? Where do you get them from?
why not Plasma Active UI?it run on nexus so I think it could run on Ace/Gio…
http://plasma-active.org/
What Nexus has to Ace/Gio?
when it will be ready?
