Hi all,
Based on my work here DEVELOPMENT : Ubuntu Lucid CHROOT: updated script
I have been successful on Making Backtrack run on Xperia X10i.
Wanted to be the first one to report it so the thread here.
will start uploading the files once i get get all pieces together.
posting some screenshots for non believers.
Stay tuned for complete instructions on how to set up on X10i complete with custom scripts and all codes will be open sourced for your reference.
and this time it will be completely from gscript if you don't want to type commands.
Teaser screenshots for you.
Now will need support from the fellow developers in establishing what all tools are running fine and what not.
once i upload the image i will also post this on all social network so that we can gather as much support as possible.

======== Instructions =============
*********** ESSENTIALS ******************
Rooted Android. tested on 2.2 however should work on 2.1 and 1.6 also. (if you use custom rom's you meet the criteria)
Busybox configured (although it gets automatically configured @ rooting)
Android terminal application. (I use android terminal emulator)
Android VNC Viewer
********************************************
********** STEP's *************************
download all 3 parts of image and place them in single folder.
extract using first file and you will get following files
bt
bt.img
startbt
stopbt
installbt.sh
Copy these files on your phone under /sdcard/bt
using terminal emulator run following commands
Code:
su
cd /sdcard/bt
sh installbt.sh
Now your BT should be configured automatically.
to use your BackTrack you can use following commands.
startbt <- mounts and prepares the system for usage.
stopbt <- unmounts and free up all resources.
bt <- a command line version of BT chroot.
Inside bt shell.
ui <- will start vncserver (default password is 12345678, you can change it using vncpasswd command on bt shell)
killui <- stops the running vncserver.
Any Available VNC client can be used to connect to the BT GUI.
Nick : BackTrack (bt for short)
address : localhost
port : 5901
password : 12345678
inside vnc window select input mode (following works best for me)
Touch Mouse; D-Pad Pan
Mouse pointer control mode
TouchPad (here your screen works like a big touchpad use it to navigate mouse.)
*********** DO CHECK POST 3 after tonight ******************
Post 3 will be updated to be used as a catalogue of tips and tricks for all things related to this distro..
========= TIPS and TRICKS ==================
this section is for those who want to make simmilar image from base image on backtrack.
ohk so the basic challenge is
1) BacckTrack image is for Xoom and have following limitation w.r.t. Xperia X10.
a) File is 4.9 GB (vfat has limitation of 4 GB max)
b) vncserver resolution is 1280x800 per xoom.
2) installation script and setup script doesn't allow you to move in and out of BT.
3) it used loop2 for image mounting which conflicts with APP2SD.
so I have made following changes.
1) resized image to 3.3 GB (if space get filled we can extend image to upto 700 mb more.)
2) inserted my custom ui and killui code i use @ ubuntu.
3) provided startbt stopbt bt and installbt.sh scripts for all work.
4) changed loop no to 254 and hence this code is compatible with my ubuntu image effectively you can keep both in same sdcard...
I am attaching a log file for part 1 of the image work as this is very tricky.
The trick is if you create a new file of 3.3 GB you get limited set of inodes which get filled easily. so the command mke2fs must be supplied with inode numbers that you want to be build.
check attached txt for details.

** Currently writing this, please wait !
Hello there,
here is a new tutorial I'm sure you'll like. As usual it took me LOTS of work to get all info and make this to work, so now I share it with you and show how to run custom ROMs within Android SDK Emulator.
Please note it's mainly for XPERIA X10, but process is the same for other Android-powered devices. It will show you the process for Linux.
1. Download the latest Android SDK.
2. Open the archive, and copy the folder android-sdk-linux-x86 to a safe place. You can also rename it to an easier name. Example : I placed it in ~/Home and renamed it androidsdk.
3. Go to the SDK folder, then in the folder Tools/. Double-click on Android and choose Run.
4. Go to Available packages, and choose to install (choose at your will !)
Android SDK Tools, revision 8
Android SDK Platform-tools, revision 1
SDK Platform Android {VERSION(S) YOU WANT} (!) You need at least one Platform. For X10, you can download 1.6, 2.1. You can also add 2.2, 2.3.
Once it's done, close the window.
5. Download Xperia X10 add-on for SDK. (?) Read the PDF add-on guide, it is helpful !
Copy the folder (from the archive) XPERIA-X10_r1 inside the folder add-ons of your Android SDK folder ({androidsdk}/add-ons/).
6. Run terminal, go to your Android SDK folder, then in tools folder, and run
Code:
./android list target
.
Note the id number of the Android you want to develop (ie for me, Android 2.3 is
Code:
id: 3 or "android-9"
). (?) You might also want to note the name ("android-X") as it might be useful later.
7. Now, create AVD (a profile for emulator). Usual command (assuming you are INSIDE the /tools/ folder !) is
Code:
android create avd -n NAMEYOUWANT -t {ID}
So, for us, it will be
Code:
./android create avd -n myx10 -t 3
8. To generate the AVD, you will be prompted several info. Type these for Xperia X10 :
Create custom hardware profile : yes
SD Card support : yes
Asbstracted LCD density : 160 (correct if I'm wrong ?)
DPad support : no (?)
Accelerometer : yes
Max camera pixels (H) : 3264
Cache partition size : 66 (?)
Audio playback : yes
Trackball : no (?)
Max cam pixels (V) : 2448
Camera support : yes
Battery support : yes
Touch screen : yes
Audio record : yes
GPS : yes
Cache partition : yes
Keyboard : no
heap size : 32
RAM : 280
GSM Modem : yes
(?) I recommend you to create one profile for each Android version you want to run (so : you just have to change the ID, and create same profile). If you don't, you won't be able to run custom ROMs using other versions of Android (ie your AVD profile is 2.3 and you run a 2.1 custom ROM).
9. Done ! Take your custom ROM (downloaded, compiled... In this case, files are in {YourAndroidRepoFolder}/out/target/product/generic/. It comes with about 3 files, including a file called system.img. Copy this file into the folder (hidden) .android/myx10{In fact, the name you've chosen earlier "NAMEYOUWANT"}.avd/
10. Run terminal, go to Android SDK folder/tools/ (if you didn't close your current terminal, you're already in and run this command to run emulator WITH your custom ROM :
Code:
./emulator -avd myx10{again the "NAMEYOUWANT" you've chosen before}
Wait and enjoy !
(?) First boot is long - it's NORMAL. Just like on a real device, the OS will be cached and will work faster and faster.
not too sure... but... isnt heap size 32? and lcd density standard at 240? x

U can also grab a pre-made x10 avd from the se dev website

Sweet. developer.sonyericsson.com
Thanks for info, I can correct this
@XperiaX10iUser : your thread link is for Windows, there was nothing for Linux ?
I knew there was an AVD, I didn't know where it was

Where did you get the info ? I'd like to be sure before change it
Density is 160 as standard, at least in the last SDK. I don't know what's the correct for X10 (Still can't grab the pre-made AVD from SE, it has all info).
EDIT : lol, missed the AVD in add-on, I look at this !
Indeed, heap is 32 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=844256).
Hey,
thanks for this useful thread!
I have problems in this whole process of booting a custom rom ( in my case Miui) in the Emulator . I have compiled the whole rom on a Linux VM with this Guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913606 and pushed it in a Windows system into android-9/images/system.img but it won't boot I don't know what I am doing wrong. My system.img is 2 GB big I think this is not normal. if i am replacing the system.img with the original out of the emulator, it is booting. I just want to boot the Miui rom to port some features to Cyanogenmod... Thanks in advance. I have a HTC Legend btw .

Defaults: 240 density and 24mb dalvik in latesy build. The density is fine but increase 32mb dalvik heap and getting Jit v2 on via xRecovery 0.3.. You can always change values anyways

@MrHassel > Thanks a lot for info, I'll correct this later then
@Westi01 > Sorry, but I don't know how it works for Legend -- but the generic booting process should be the same. Remember some roms use custom stuff (like kernel addresses) whose can make the emulator not to run. But as I know, it should be rare. You should check indeed your rom, as you say it's 2Gb, it looks very huge indeed. AOSP (compiled) is about 45Mb or 80Mb if I'm not wrong (can't remember lol). Give a try to kitchening method, or try to run emulator from Linux, gotta be easier

maybe u just need a simulator build instead of a device build.
i got confused after step 6. What terminal should i start? I am using windows xp and the terminal i am trying to use is cmd (correct me if needed pls ).Then what? i want to test some ICS roms but i cant get them to work Pls help!
Can you post a direct like to the SDK? i have no idea where it is.

hi guys DooMLoRD & anantshri present to u:
BACKTRACK 5 on SGS2
all the work was done by anantshri, i mostly assisted by testing it on my SGS2 and modding it slightly so that it will work properly for SGS2... dont forget to thank him!
i will try n keep it short and simple...
for more details u can read the original thread at X10 sub-forums...

in GUI:
phone + BT5 GUI:
[ Requirements ]
rooted device with busybox installed, if u are using CF-root kernel then u already have busybox installed
Some apps from Android Market:
Android Terminal Emulator
androidVNC
[optional] highly recomended keyboard: Hacker's Keyboard
7zip (for PC), for extracting the files
around 3.3 GB free on internal sdcard (/sdcard/)
[ How To : File Setup ]
u need to do this only once
download the files from the links provided in this thread
extract the files using 7zip to a temporary folder (needs 3.3GB free on that drive)
connect ur SGS2 to PC and mount USB storage
create a folder named 'bt' (without quotes) in the root of ur sdcard and copy the bt.img in that folder
also place the file bt5_sgs2_shell_scripts_v2.zip in root of sdcard, this file has to be flashed via recovery
once u verify that the above is correct then un-mount usb storage
reboot into recovery and flash the file bt5_sgs2_shell_scripts_v2.zip stored in root of sdcard (or if u are using CWM app then just select the file for flashing and the app will do the rest )
once ur phone reboots into OS just check the /sdcard/bt folder
final directory structure should look like this:
/sdcard/bt/bt
/sdcard/bt/bt.img
/sdcard/bt/installbt.sh
/sdcard/bt/startbt
/sdcard/bt/stopbt
once u verify that the above is correct then u can proceed
[ How To : Launch BT ]
start Terminal Emulator app on ur SGS2 and enter the following commands step by step (accept/allow any SuperUser request/popup that u may receive)
su
cd /sdcard/bt
sh installbt.sh
startbt
bt
now u are in BackTrack5 shell
to launch GUI (vncserver) enter the following command
ui
now note the number N shown localhost:N
e.g. as u can see from the above image that "New 'X' desktop is localhost:1", so N=1
the vncserver is running at (5900 + N, N=1 ; so server port is 5901)
now launch androidVNC app on phone and fill in the detials as follows
Nick : bt
Address : 127.0.0.1
Port : 5901
Password : 12345678
Username : <leave it blank>
Color Format : 24-bit color (4 bpp)
inside vnc window select input mode (i personally recommend the following)
TouchPad (here your screen works like a big touchpad use it to navigate mouse.)
and then press connect... now u are in BackTrack GUI!
if u want to exit/close BT5 then u need to follow these steps:
close the androidVNC app (Menu -> Disconnect)
go back into Terminal Emulator app and enter the following commands
u should be at this shell [email protected]:~#
killui
exit
now u will get back to this shell> #
now enter the following commands to stop bt and exit
stopbt
exit
exit
u can now exit the Terminal Emulator app
i would also recommend that u reboot ur phone
[ Important Info ]
root password is 12345678
[ Download Links ]
update.zip package containing shell scripts, busybox (which gets installed to temporary location) [to be flashed via recovery]
this will not disturb/conflict with busybox of ur ROM/CF-Root kernel
bt5_sgs2_shell_scripts_v2.zip (~800KB)
main bt.img
these links are 7zip archives split into 50mb files, u will need to download the following:
total size: 486MB
bt.7z.001 (50 MB)
bt.7z.002 (50 MB)

[ Tips n Tricks! ]
if u have ur device (SGS2) connected over wifi u can connect to the BT5 vncserver running on ur phone!! u will just need to connect to
<ip_address_of_phone>:<portno>
most of the startup/launching commands can be executed even through adb shell
==== Reserved ===
few pointers as this has been asked many times
1) Monitor Mode will not work till someone tried to compile a custom wifi drivers with monitor mode enables, in that case also firmware should allow it.
2) Those using android-vnc-viewer and facing difficulty in navigation check various input modes.
These 3 works the best for me.
Touch Mouse; D-Pad Pan
Mouse pointer control mode
TouchPad (here your screen works like a big touchpad use it to navigate mouse.)
Excellent. I've been wanting to do this.
Back Track is running smoothly on my SGS2 with Lite'ning ROM.

blimey so how much of backtrack actually works? Struggling to see the wep/wpa stuff working..Anyone?
Bloody hindering awkward to use as well. Good job but hmm, little tough to use.

1) wep/wpa crack will not work till we get monitor mode in wifi drivers.
2) if it feels awkward do check the various input methods you have for vncviewer.
(following works best for me)
Touch Mouse; D-Pad Pan
Mouse pointer control mode
TouchPad (here your screen works like a big touchpad use it to navigate mouse.)
it works fine.
thx for your work
nice work man..... I've been looking to work on gs2.thanks man
Nice work once again Doom! Glad to see a familiar poster from the X10 days.
Willing to try this but not at the expense of normal roms. Hopefully one day we get to dual-boot this and a rom/fw of our choice.

well this doesnt change anything in ur rom...
it runs from within /sdcard/bt (actually it runs from the bt.img file)
so its completely safe to try...
dualbooting is really tempting... would be possible... will see wht can be done...
Any advice on setting screen resolution in such way so it doesn't scroll a bit to the left or right?

Hello guys,
Thank you all for the amount of support you have given this project! I have now decided to stop updating this thread. If people still have bugs or want to keep following this project please go to the Main project thread HERE.
I will stop updating this thread because I feel we now know what roms/kernels do and don't work so there is no need for me to keep updating this thread (And the other 5 threads I run for certain devices), but of cause if you do still have problems reply to the main thread or PM me!
Once again thank you all!!
I have released the first version of my app, which guides you through the installation of Ubuntu within android via chroot. It includes a ubuntu 10.10 image I have been working on which includes lots of program to allow users to develop program/scripts etc within Ubuntu on there phone/tablet.
However I have only been able to test the app on my HTC Desire S and Gen 8 Archos tablet and as such I need you guys to test this on your phone/tablet and post back how it works on your device!
Please post your device/kernel/rom along with what did and didn't work, so I can draw up what I need to change in the next release of the app/ubuntu build.

This is the image I get. Running darkside 4.2 lite, faux123 latest 1.3, fruitcake 2.3.5, debian mod. Used the lite app until it works then will purchase full version.
Included sh wouldn't connect but v3 connects just nothing to see.
Can move around just nothing to see. Let me know if you need any help or have anything you want me to try.

Does nothing when "sh ubuntu.sh" is typed.
Don't know if it's my rom (it's a foreign rom with no list of features) or the app.
Will this work with the lapdock? It has a rez of 1366X768, will it retain the lapdock functionality?
Try to download the ubuntuv3.sh and put it in the same extracted folder and run that in terminal. That is what I had to do. Then go to home and open and log in with vnc.

well it works with lapdock but they damn thing wont go into landscape on lapdock
Just curious for those running it, can you go back to normal android still from ubunto or do you have to wipe and reflash the ROM to get back to normal android? I want to test it but curious if I can revert back easier.

you can go back to android just by hitting home. however the sdcard gets mounted for Ubuntu so to stop Ubuntu you have to restart the phone

There is a file that is missing in this rom, (according to the terminal), init.sh the file in / root
I pass it (if you have), I do not care bootloops, I do not mind having to install the rom again if necessary ...

Thanks dude,
The file missing error is because it's trying to run a script in the Ubuntu image that starts vnc etc.
But as Ubuntu isn't mounting it can't access it.

hi guys here is BACKTRACK 5 on HTC Flyer
most of the work was done by anantshri, i have only modified it slightly so that it will works properly on HTC Flyer... dont forget to thank him!
i will try n keep it short and simple... this is running in chroot environment and doesnt boot as a separate OS... it can be accessed through shell or via a VNC client..
for more details u can read the original thread at X10 sub-forums...
[DEV] BACKTRACK 5 on Xperia X10 chroot
if u dont know what Backtrack is read this: http://bit.ly/z23em2

7zip (for PC), for extracting the files
around 3.3 GB free on external sdcard (/sdcard/ext_sd/)
[ How To : File Setup ]
u need to do this only once
download the files from the links provided in this thread
extract the files using 7zip to a temporary folder (needs 3.3GB free on that drive)
connect ur device to PC and mount USB storage
create a folder named 'bt' (without quotes) in the root of ur external sdcard and copy the bt.img in that folder
also place the file bt5_flyer_shell_scripts_v1.zip in root of sdcard, this file has to be flashed via recovery
once u verify that the above is correct then un-mount usb storage
reboot into recovery and flash the file bt5_flyer_shell_scripts_v1.zip stored in root of sdcard
once ur phone reboots into OS just check the /sdcard/ext_sd/bt folder
final directory structure should look like this:
/sdcard/ext_sd/bt/bt
/sdcard/ext_sd/bt/bt.img
/sdcard/ext_sd/bt/installbt.sh
/sdcard/ext_sd/bt/startbt
/sdcard/ext_sd/bt/stopbt
once u verify that the above is correct then u can proceed
[ How To : Launch BT ]
start Terminal Emulator app on ur device and enter the following commands step by step (accept/allow any SuperUser request/popup that u may receive)
su
cd /sdcard/ext_sd/bt
sh installbt.sh
startbt
bt
now u are in BackTrack5 shell
to launch GUI (vncserver) enter the following command
ui
now note the number N shown localhost:N
e.g. as u can see from the above image that "New 'X' desktop is localhost:1", so N=1
the vncserver is running at (5900 + N, N=1 ; so server port is 5901)
now launch androidVNC app on phone and fill in the detials as follows
Nick : bt
Address : 127.0.0.1
Port : 5901
Password : 12345678
Username : <leave it blank>
Color Format : 24-bit color (4 bpp)
inside vnc window select input mode (i personally recommend the following)
TouchPad (here your screen works like a big touchpad use it to navigate mouse.)
and then press connect... now u are in BackTrack GUI!
if u want to exit/close BT5 then u need to follow these steps:
close the androidVNC app (Menu -> Disconnect)
go back into Terminal Emulator app and enter the following commands
u should be at this shell [email protected]:~#
killui
exit
now u will get back to this shell> #
now enter the following commands to stop bt and exit
stopbt
exit
exit
u can now exit the Terminal Emulator app
i would also recommend that u reboot ur phone
[ Important Info ]
root password is 12345678
[ Download Links ]

I was just wishing someone would port Linux to the flyer the other day, and here it is, like magic. I'm glad we have you as a dev, you always seem to think outside the box. I'm kinda sad it came at the end of my break, but I will definitely be giving this a try next time I have some spare time. Thanks!

The AOSP kernel is currently dev'ing, and monitor mode is possible for the View/Flyer as they use a very common chip (Broadcomm 5823) The information for this chip is on xda, but I don't have time to search it, will edit later.
how i can use virtual/hacker keyboard with GB? i got an empty bar in GB when in HC is fixed. how i can keyboard appear? send text function is a bit annoying

Please OP remove my old post about Ubuntu on Tab 3...
T3buntu (Had to call it something...)
Disclaimer:
What you do with this information is up to you. If your device breaks while trying anything in here you do that at your own risc.
I cant be held responsible for anything that happens to your device.
Everything in here was tested on a Samsung Galaxy Tab3 10.1(5210) if you try anything in here on any other device thats up to you.
Most of the work is made by the Linux on Android team i have just tested and fixed some stuff.
The image is ext2, x86 but im working on a ext4, AMD64 image.
”Changelog”
1. Replaced lxde with KDE Plasma
2. Added entryś in etc/fstab for int/ext SdCards
3. Edited bootscript from the Linux on Android team so that the SdCards in the Tab is correcly mounted and works with fstab.
4. Installed "missing" packages to minimize errors.
Works:
Wifi
Battery indicator
Int/Ext SdCard
Most of the stuff in Ubuntu.
Issues:
Leftpanel is black
Slow startup, but can be fixed. I will add that later.
Some apps dont work if you start them as root.
Couldnt make jpg work as wallpaper so using png at the moment.
Rotation isnt setup since we cant use xrandr to rotate the screen..
Not tested:
GPS
ToDo
Streamline startup
Add init.d support on the Tab
Tweaking were ever possible.
Fix sound
Now for the fun stuff.
Installation:
1. Root your device. I used this Guide.
2. Install Busybox.
3. Install Linux on Android.
4. Install a VNC client of your shoice, i preferr Jump Desktop free.
5. Copy bootscript.sh to /data/data/com.zpwebsites.linuxonandroid/files/ overwrite the old file.
6. Unpack and Copy the t3buntuv1.2_20131216.img to a place of your choosing on either internal or external sdcard.
7. Make a Linux on Android widget and point it to the img file you copied in 6.
OBS !! This image is preconfigured with the user ubuntu and psw t3buntu..
8. Now click on the LOA widget you made in 7 and let linux ”bootup”
9. In your VNC client connect to localhost.
DONE ! Your now in Ubuntu..
If you want more screenspace you can uncomment
# service call activity 42 s16 com.android.systemui
In bootscript.sh this will remove the android panel. The problem with this at the moment is that to
get it back you have to restart the Tab becourse the ´am´ command to get it back ”Seg faults” on
my tab and i havnt figured out why yet.
Consider this image as alpha...
OBS !! The image file is BIG 1.4GB compressed and 4GB decompressed. Will try and make it smaller not sure how the Linux on Android team made there images so small...

The one that made the scripts from the start. Not sure who made them...
How about a link to get 3. Linux on Android.
I know I'm top lazy to Google.

Awesome! Glad to see something! And having Ubuntu is a very cool os to have! Good work and thank you!

Added links to Linux on Android and Busybox in first post.
Nice, but there are a few things...
The bootscript.sh contains one little, but crucial error.
At line 172, character 44, you forgot one space, which makes the mount procedure unusable:
Code:
$bbox mount -o bind /storage/extSdCard $mnt/extSdCard
Which should be:
Code:
$bbox mount -o bind /storage/extSdCard $mnt/extSdCard
Without this (for me) it failes while it's starting up.
And, another thing, my tablet reboots at the moment I have to run VNC to start the X server, even though I'm not doing or touching anything.
After reboot it doesn't start up t3buntu either.
But, very good work !!
And yes, I do have Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 GT-P5210...
RubenStauttener;48606882]Nice, but there are a few things...
The bootscript.sh contains one little, but crucial error.
At line 172, character 44, you forgot one space, which makes the mount procedure unusable:
Code:
$bbox mount -o bind /storage/extSdCard $mnt/extSdCard
Which should be:
Code:
$bbox mount -o bind /storage/extSdCard $mnt/extSdCard
Without this (for me) it failes while it's starting up.
Havnt noticed any problems here but i have added the space and updated the script since both versions works for me.
And, another thing, my tablet reboots at the moment I have to run VNC to start the X server, even though I'm not doing or touching anything.
After reboot it doesn't start up t3buntu either.
Does it reboot during script execution ? It do sound like a mem issue. Do you have widgets and such running in android ?
You can try with enabling the swapfile in bootscript.sh .
But, very good work !!

I've got the terminal up and running fine. But I can't VNC into it. What settings are you using for you VNC viewer?
How about native graphic support using libhybris? Or since this device use PowerVR SGX 544, is native X11 possible? Reference: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Intel_GMA3600
EDIT: https://github.com/trevd/android_kernel_samsung_santos10/tree/cm-10.2/drivers/staging/mrst/pvr and https://github.com/thomas001/cedarview-drm/tree/master/staging/cdv/pvr looks similar

Hi, I posted a question in the Q&A forum (them 10 posts), but I guess it really belongs here.
Tried this on my TWRP rooted UANB4 stock rom P5210, stock kernel. And I get the following with your script and image:
Code:
[email protected]:/ $
[email protected]:/ $ cd /storage/extSdCard/Img
[email protected]:/storage/extSdCard/Img $ su
[email protected]:/storage/extSdCard/Img # sh /data/data/com.zpwebsites.linuxonandroid/files/bootscript.sh /storage/extSdCard/Img/t3buntuv1.2_20131216.img
Checking loop device... FOUND
mount: mounting /dev/block/loop255 on /data/local/mnt failed: Invalid argument
Error: Unable to mount the loop device!
1|[email protected]:/storage/extSdCard/Img #
Line : $bbox mount -t ext2 /dev/block/loop255 $mnt
Do I tell busybox to overwrite the mount command?
Otherwise, excellent work, cant wait till I have it running.
*EDIT*
Turns out I just had to copy the image again, I guess my first transfer got cut off.
Totally works, thx
hey. i noticed that the last update was in April of 2014. i was wondering if there was any updates on this.
getting linux on my tablit was the #1 reason i chose to root my GT-P5210 in the first place.

I did not try this one. I bet itworks in VNC as it tell us. Instead i did
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58175673&postcount=54
I guess I can say it work aceptable in VNC mode, definitly work nice in comand mode. I been working in a native solution but it is a hard bone for my teeth. Look in the general area.
Download link is down

Please OP remove my old post about Ubuntu on Tab 3...
T3buntu (Had to call it something...)
Disclaimer:
What you do with this information is up to you. If your device breaks while trying anything in here you do that at your own risc.
I cant be held responsible for anything that happens to your device.
Everything in here was tested on a Samsung Galaxy Tab3 10.1(5210) if you try anything in here on any other device thats up to you.
Most of the work is made by the Linux on Android team i have just tested and fixed some stuff.
The image is ext2, x86 but im working on a ext4, AMD64 image.
”Changelog”
1. Replaced lxde with KDE Plasma
2. Added entryś in etc/fstab for int/ext SdCards
3. Edited bootscript from the Linux on Android team so that the SdCards in the Tab is correcly mounted and works with fstab.
4. Installed "missing" packages to minimize errors.
Works:
Wifi
Battery indicator
Int/Ext SdCard
Most of the stuff in Ubuntu.
Issues:
Leftpanel is black
Slow startup, but can be fixed. I will add that later.
Some apps dont work if you start them as root.
Couldnt make jpg work as wallpaper so using png at the moment.
Rotation isnt setup since we cant use xrandr to rotate the screen..
Not tested:
GPS
ToDo
Streamline startup
Add init.d support on the Tab
Tweaking were ever possible.
Fix sound
Now for the fun stuff.
Installation:
1. Root your device. I used this Guide.
2. Install Busybox.
3. Install Linux on Android.
4. Install a VNC client of your choice, i preferr Jump Desktop free.
5. Copy bootscript.sh to /data/data/com.zpwebsites.linuxonandroid/files/ overwrite the old file.
6. Unpack and Copy the t3buntuv1.2_20131216.img to a place of your choosing on either internal or external sdcard.
7. Make a Linux on Android widget and point it to the img file you copied in 6.
OBS !! This image is preconfigured with the user ubuntu and psw t3buntu..
8. Now click on the LOA widget you made in 7 and let linux ”bootup”
9. In your VNC client connect to localhost.
DONE ! Your now in Ubuntu..
If you want more screenspace you can uncomment
# service call activity 42 s16 com.android.systemui
In bootscript.sh this will remove the android panel. The problem with this at the moment is that to
get it back you have to restart the Tab becourse the ´am´ command to get it back ”Seg faults” on
my tab and i havnt figured out why yet.
Consider this image as alpha...
OBS !! The image file is BIG 1.4GB compressed and 4GB decompressed. Will try and make it smaller not sure how the Linux on Android team made there images so small...
