I've posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1365680 but I feel like I can get some more Tablet S audience here.
To summarize what this tool does, it basically extracts the emulator data from Crash Bandicoot, patches it, and allows you to load any PSX game that you rip to run on your device.
Check the link above for more information and download links.
Here's my request to you tablet users:
First of all, I need people to test this as I do not own a Sony Tablet. More importantly, I need different APKs from people. Currently, the only APK of crash bandicoot I have for the Tablet S is one with a CRC32 checksum of 6c7c966b (NCEA00344.apk). If you have a version that has a different checksum (I'm looking for the US version especially), please PM me with a copy of it. I need to manually patch each version of the game to support it with the tool.
Again, I do not own a Tablet, so development will not be as fast as it is for the Play. Therefore, it is up to beta testers like you to help me get it working. If anything goes wrong, I need psxperia.log found in the folder you extracted the files to and android's logcat if you can get it. It would also be nice if a developer for this device can take care of supporting it. Or, if anyone's feeling generous, get me a tablet (I can also look into unlocking it, I have a couple of ideas), but I know that's asking too much.
I just got one today. How can I help?
I pledge $30 to get you the tablet. Don't even have time to convert images for your new beta as i still have them working on my previous version on xperia play with the older firmware but admire your dedication to keeping this project alive. I can donate this money straight away if you want - i just hope you get the tablet soon.

I have HK version of Tablet S, but I do not know how to extract the apk from it as there is no root for Tablet. Please advise. Thanks.
I've Medievil and Destruction Derbi from store in a Sony Tablet S, where i can find that files?
When i try to install a game converted with this software i get an error from table ("Not installed"), maybe is Android version (Android 3.2.1).
i didnt think of ttrying the psxperia on my tablet, i will get on this today, and let you know what i find! since im still waiting for FedEX to deliver my Xperia Play.
EDIT: got the .apk for you. Mine is NCUA94900, not sure about the check sum, but im about to pm you about it.
I'd be happy to test things out as I'm keen to try Driver 2 ISO which I'd found - excuse my ignorance, but without ROOT, how is it possible for me to obtain the Crash Bandicoot APK file and I assume it is "NCUC80631_T1_1_01.zpak" required from the Android/Data...... folder
Thanks.

There are a few different ways to do it. Without root, I used Astro to browse up to the root and then I could freely browse the system partitions (you just cant write to it). You could always try ADB as well, if you've got that working..
And I've just sent through my APK from my Tablet S. Thanks!
Just created my first APK with PSXPeria 1.0 as 2.0 doesn't work with me and there is no error log showing - the APK doesn't work, it installs but bounces back to the homescreen, the data files are in the correct places.
With 2.0, it just hangs at "Checking files...."
Any ideas please?
Just had some kind help from a forum member, the APK compiles when using the Xperia APK, but doesn't install on my Sony Tablet. Using the CrashBandicoot APK from the Sony Tablet, produces an error in the JAVA program.
I assume the develop is no-longer monitoring this thread, rendering my feedback and determination to run my PS1 games useless

Have you tried FPSE? almost flawless IMO
its paid but more than worth it
When trying to extract in PSXPeria it says "CAN NOT EXTRACT APK! JAVA SAYS CAN NOT FIND CONFIG FOR THIS APK CRC32: D1EEDC9F". Can anyone help me out on this? Can somebody also upload their APK file of Crash for me too? Thanks.

Could you post the errors log to the thread he has on the xperia play forum - I wonder if compiling using data from the other games from ps store would work - I had no time or know how to update my xperia play to 2.3.4 yet so staying on psxperia version 1 (on 2.3.3 experia play) for now which is not compatible with tablet s. Thanks in advance

error message posted in image above
That error in the above post means the dev hasn't included the patch for that particular APK in this version of PSXPeria. Try PM'ing the OP with a link to a copy of your apk and ask if he might be able to include it in the next release. It's all detailed in the first post of this thread. Read there.
If we keep adding APK's we might get better results across all the Tablets
Anyone know if this works? I tried to install an apk I made for my Xperia play onto the Sony tablet S. I installed it the exact same way, where I tossed the folder into Android/data/, and had the apk in the root. It wouldn't even let me install lol.
I'm guessing i'd have to rip the current Crash, and the data, and then see what I could do. I was hoping someone may have already tried this.
What would be truly legendary is if one of the emulators made managed to emulate multiplayer somehow. The only one I can see being possible in the short term is a gameboy link cable emulation via bluetooth or wifi.
Otherwise for the likes of PSX games, potentially something where a device syncs like a bluetooth controller to a "host" device. Then the host device would broadcast whats on screen to the other device and go from there (perhaps in split screen cutting the image down the middle and scretch to fit screen what remains, so you only see your player ) Pretty sure we'd have to wait for quadcore or better devices for that though haha
Alright an update on what I was testing. I got the exact same error that Cypherwolf got. I even tried to rename the apk and zpak. The oddest part is the fact that the folder of the zpak is labeled NCUA94900_T. Where as my xperia play phone has the zpak as just NCUA94900.
Though again renaming didn't seem to do jack. Not sure if its an issue with the software conversion or this "T" version of the zpak is somehow encrypted. I'll see if I can use the 1.0 version of the software and if there's any diff.
Need DEV Help
So after playing with the files from my Tablet S and messing around inside PSXperiaTool.jar with WinRAR, I added my own CRC32 to the \resources\patches. After studying the layouts of the files in the other patch folders and help from yifanlu's GitHub page, I put together a seemingly working config.xml, filelist.txt and stringReplacements.txt. I then used the game-patch.bin & libjava-activity.so.jbpatch from GitHub for the last two patch files.
Now when I run the extract on my NCUA94900.apk, I don't get any errors at all. However, I have run into a problem. When I click Convert in the convert section, the words "Checking to make sure all files are there." appear, but nothing happens.
I've tried using versions 1 and 2 of the program and both just hang there. I've also tried editing the config.xml to not patch the libjava-activity_NCUA94900_T_1.so file in \lib\armeabi, but I still have the problem.
Anyone else working on this and have gotten as far or farther?
Nope I haven't even been able to extract tnhe zpak properly it says that its not recognized. If I ignore that and continue it has the same error as above. I did find something in system/app zpackdownloader.apk, not sure what that entitles. I have a feeling that when installing something from say xperia play, something like an apk prevents it from being installed.
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.

Downloading as I type, will let you know.
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.
Sent from my awesome atrix thanks to all the devs here!
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

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.

Not sure if that makes sense to anyone but me but either way this will be an awesome tool and ill see if I can't get it running on my ubuntu VM. How would I send the file to my VM to install it on ubuntu? I'm using Sun virtual box with ubuntu 11.1 I think it actually may be 10.1 its been awhile since Ive used it.

Yeah you can use vm and just run it that way. I would recommend linux mint 12 over ubuntu 11.4 + or ubuntu 10.10 or linux mint 11.

Yeah you can use vm and just run it that way. I would recommend linux mint 12 over ubuntu 11.4 + or ubuntu 10.10 or linux mint 11.
I use linux mint 12.
Just download it from ubuntu with in the vm.

Packages are the same I'm Linux mint 12 and Ubuntu 11.10. Since of course mint is Ubuntu based.

Yeah it should work on all deb based distros. Have not tested it on rpm or arch yet.
I will be making it into a deb package and a windows exe in the near future.
It's a beta so I've only completed about 2% of the project so far.
There are about a million things that will/can be included. Just trying to prioritize them.
Lithid I was checking out your cm compiler. That's one feature I'm planing on including not really for cm but a stock aosp Rom compiler for any device.
Maybe we can work together on that if you are interested?

Hi
It's a thread which collects Ubuntu stuff for SGS2 and includes some of my mods.
The content is from or based on fire314's, JDouce's and zacthespack's work. And their work is based on other people's work, so thanks everybody
Why is it better, than the sources I used?
-it's up to date
-works
-smallest download size
-less space required on sd/internal storage
-very detailed instructions
Why to use Ubuntu on an Android phone?
Why to overclock?! Just because we can do it To show off
And you can use Chromium browser to browse the web, you can edit documents in Open/Libre Office, etc.

Download
I recommend this Lubuntu img, made by zacthespack, edited by me.
It's less than 500MB to download, 1800MB img file size on the phone, and sports LXDE (leightweight desktop):
Filehosting.org
Ubuntu One
Dropbox
Google docs
It is the necessery script to run Ununtu/Lubuntu, made by fire314:
ubi.sh
Ubuntu One
Dropbox
It is an Ubuntu img (Gnome desktop), made by JDouce, modded by me.
It's almost 1GB to download and 2,5 or 3GB (I don't remember) on the phone:
Depostie Files
Fileserve
Then, there is the one made by JDouce without any mod.
Almost 1,5GB to download in 2 parts, and 3,5GB (as I remember) on the phone:
Part 1
Part 2
The original from zacthespack:
Link to he's thread
He works on it, and uploads new versions, so no need to place a link for the file itself.
There are 2 versions now:
Ubuntu - 1,5GB to download and 3,5GB on phone
Lubuntu - 500MB to download and 2,5GB on phone
Instructions:
1. Choose one of the images (will add more later) and download it, and get the script aswell
2. Unzip ubuntu.img and copy it and ubi.sh to your sdcard or internal storage, both files to the same folder
3. Open a terminal emulator and type:
su
Accept root permission request if appears, then type:
cd (name of the place where the files are. Example: cd /sdcard)
You can check if the files are there by typing „ls”. If everything is fine, than type:
sh ubi.sh
like this:
and if everything is fine you get this:
4.Open a VNC client and fill out the following
password: ubuntu
address: localhost
port: 5900
set colors to 24bit
5. Hit Connect button
6. Now you should set the "mouse"
touch Menu button
Input mode
Touchpad
Turning it off:
In the VNC client:
touch Menu button
Disconnect
In the terminal emulator:
touch Menu button
Close window
accept it
You can add, delete programs in Synaptic.
If you want to start Lubuntu/Ubuntu anytime, just do the 3rd and 4th steps ; )
I didn't do much. I just made some small changes. All the credits go to zacthespack, JDouce and fire314.
I know, that JDouce has a thread, but he doesn't do much nowadays. He edited the OP more than 5 months ago. And I think it's such a fun, that it deserves some more attention.
Troubleshooting:
If it doesn't start after step 4, or your phone reboots after step 3:
change kernel!
Siyah 2.6.8 changelog:
-fixed the bug which prevented using ubuntu and was causing some random reboots...
so earlier versions doesn't work
If it starts, but the mouse pointer doesn't move:
check the step 6 in the OP
If you can't read or mount the sdcard/internal storeage after turning Ubuntu off:
reboot
Download links are up!
Let me know which one is the fastest and where would you like to see the next versions uploaded.
And if you have any question or suggestion, don't hold it back
Unbuntu One link is a ~20 min DL. Dropbox is ~5 min.
sh may have taken 0.01 seconds or so
Hope to test this today, if not, soon. I'll let you know how things work.

Exiting chroot environment and sync'ing memory to storage..

I am looking for a way to get Asus Transformer Prime capable of developing Android Apps, so it might not just be funny, but also very useful
I did try to see if I could make my SGS2 dual boot, but it did not work for me so far. And I am not sure I would want this as the phones OS, although it is temping if it can also use one of those Android App players that seems to be in development. I am not sure if they are even trying to target Linux though.
But the possiblities of Linux on Android hardware is.... mindbogging

Ask zacthespack. As I know, he built the image I modded in the OP
4 more images in the OP
And I'll take a look at the v5 from zacthespak... downloading it right now

no, it runs from a ROM and it's Ubuntu linux
I like it and it runs faster than the other ubuntu 10.10 chroot release but my only problem is something seems wrong with the resolution the text is smaller and blurrier than the other release from before? Is it set for the galaxy s2 screen res or am i just seeing things?

Introduction and Warning:
Asteroid OS is a Free Open Source alternative operating system for smartwatches. It utilizes libhybris to ensure maximum compatibility with the watch. The OS team is currently looking for active contributors to make it grow (more info at the project's webpage: http://asteroidos.org/). The OS is NOT based on Android wear and is currently in an Alpha Phase, has limited functions, applications and customizability so flash at your own risk. The current build is mostly meant for developers rather than end-users, so these images in no way reflect the finished Asteroid OS. I take no responsibility for what happens by the use of this software. By using the method bellow you don't flash Asteroid but rather run it side by side with Android wear. Essentially you place the OS file inside the watch and fastboot into it. This way Android Wear stays installed and you can test Asteroid. Asteroid at its current phase is not meant as a daily OS as it has bugs and issues, one of them being that the bluetooth doesn't work (so you can't pair it with your phone). I simply made a build of the OS, credit goes to the creator and the contributors, I can only provide you with builds, installation instructions and answers on a few questions, nothing more.

Downloads:
Official prebuilt Asteroid OS image: http://asteroidos.org/install/
Outdated Personal Build of mine (lacks newer build features):
Asteroid Image
Boot Image
Instructions:
1. Make sure you have an ADB installation (Minimal adb and fastboot should do) and your watches' bootloader is unlocked and debugging is enabled from the settings.
2. Download the two files in the download section and place them in the same folder and connect the watch to the computer
3. Open up the command prompt (cmd) and navigate to that folder
4. Issue these commands:
adb push asteroid-image-dory.ext2 /sdcard/linux/rootfs.ext2
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot zImage-dtb-dory.fastboot
5. The watch will reboot into Asteroid OS. Every time you want to boot into asteroid you have to issue the last two commands or else you will boot into android wear normally.
Removal Instructions:
Just open up cmd, connect the watch to the computer and issue this command: adb shell rm "/sdcard/linux/rootfs.ext2"

Mhh will definitely try it out
screenshots/photo ?
Any screenshots or demo videos? Can't find any on Google or the official project site.
Sent from my SM-G900P using XDA Free mobile app
Screenshots, video etc can be found in the Twitter account ( @ asteroidos).
Images?
According to twitter, don't bother trying these images as it takes over three minutes to boot and there are no apps.
I uploaded a video showing Asteroid booting up for anyone interested.
Why would I destroy my perfectly fine watch with absolutely pointless OS, which does nothing, doesn't allow me to get notifications and has no apps?
Why such negativity over something that is pre-alpha? The OP even said, this is more for developers than for end users.
Once a few iterations are out, say when the BT stack is up, and some apps available I'd be keen on checking it out and dual-booting into it. For now, I'll be keeping a watch on it.
Keep fighting the hard fight @CedArctic!
This is definitely great to see. A fully capable linux OS on the watch. Btw OP, does it use Wayland or Mir for the display server since it's built on QT (going off what I know of Ubuntu Touch which uses QT/Mir)?
I downloaded the image but haven't messed with it just yet, the rootfs is on my watch waiting for me to boot it with fastboot. I'm excited to see how this turns out. Any idea on how it will communicate with the mobile device through Bluetooth yet, or is that still in the planning stages as you work on the UI?

Thanks but it's more of kido's fight. He is the original developer of Asteroid OS. I will continue to provide up to date builds until a stable release is out. It is great to see the community interested in such a project

I believe it uses the Mir server. As far as I know the watch will connect via bluetooth. Though I am not the developer of this operating system, that's kido. So don't really know much . For now I just make builds of it.

Ah thanks for the information. I'm really looking forward to seeing this grow, I love watching alternative operating systems for my devices ^_^
Once it has more work done on it, I could see it becoming a pretty neat project.

This isn't a version of Android. It is a Linux based operating system that can run on the G Watch as a (in the future) replacement OS for android. So no, playstore does not work.
