Fastboot on Linux? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys.
Just wanted to know is it possible to install Fastboot on Ubuntu Linux. If so, please could somebody provide me a guide or link? I hate starting my Windows just to flash another kernel.
But also I would need drivers for my SE Arc S , is it even possible?
Thanks you so much!

It's based on CM10.1... So not possible until there is JB for our phone :/
Hope ST will release NovaThor sources, so devs can develop CM10 and JB for our phone

UBUNTU OS IS UBUNTU OS (JUST ANOTHER KERNEL BASED OS), WHO INFORMED YOU IT IS BASED ON CM10.1/JB
But to say Ubuntu Touch is just Cyanogenmod with a skin on it would have to be false since Ubuntu does not use a virtual machine to run it ui or apps.

Also, please for the sake of every heavenly body in this universe, avoid capital letters!
I guess we will never get it. As we will never get CM 10.1, we will get CM 10 though....

LOL!! We will get even next android version for our phone. Android 5.0.1 or whatever it will be
You know Xperia X8? It came out with 2.1-1 and has 4.0.2 ported to it.

We need sources, not devs. It's impossible to get a working jelly bean rom without st-ericsson sources.

Sorry dude, You misunderstood. Ubuntu is not based on CM. CM is based on AOSP (android). In no way CM and Ubuntu are dependent on one another. They said
Code:
You can find all the needed Android git repositories at http://phablet.ubuntu.com/gitweb. This is basically a mirror of CyanogenMod 10.1, but containing only the needed low level services used by Android (e.g. no Dalvik at all).
It is for developers who want to bring the features of android to Ubuntu Touch. Thats all.
And Yes, there is a possibility that we may get Ubuntu, but not probably.

You could try changing the /system/lib/libandroid_runtime.so, but I guess it won't change much. Maybe it's a kernel problem?
From which device are you trying to port? Same happened to me while I was porting lezo os from ace...
Best Regards,

I was thinking kernel to also I tryed nexus one to port that'd all I could find carnt build as I'm using windows at mo

[Q] How to emulate my android device on SDK for rom testing

How to make exact copy of my device on Android SDK so that I can test and develop roms on it? I found a guide on xda but it shows how to emulate Xperia X10 and it needs an add-on for X10. But there is no add-on for my device, so how can I emulate it manually? I have a Karbonn ST10 tablet.
Anyone?
Please help someone

If by "blue" you mean USB 3 port, there is a thread in this forum with drivers that work on windows 8 for Intel boards, search.
I will just go to win 7 lol
