Yes I have a Ubuntu partition dual booted on my laptop. I have not tried anything android related on it yet though.

Haha nice
Thanks for the answers guy...
Im guessing that it shouldnt be an issue because android is linux based, right ?
Some stuff like building Android can only be done on Linux. For most operations bar official update methods with official installers (Kies, Pc Companion and the like), Linux is fine.

Nothing should be an issue exactly for that reason...... However depends on your device with regards manufacturer linux support on updates etc, I know HTC like to issue updates as a windows installer bootstrapped exe. not a problem to work around and linux tools have been developed. .......
I never rely on the Manufacturer for anything tho, maybe because the first thing I do with most my devices is void the warranty
Personally I use nothing but linux, I had to stop using windows, It was wrecking my mind. I live most my life through the android debug shell, but I'm a little strange like that :laugh:

Hi XDA people,
I know my question is kind of stupid ....
I have a new passion for android and haven't already switched from Windows to Linux (Ubuntu I guess) and I would like to learn how to work on kernel.
Just wanted to know if tools have been built for windows ?
I read pulser_g2 has tried to, but don't know if he succeed ?
Thanks for answers

Uhm... I've not worked on anything for building kernels on windows.
The solution is called Virtualbox though - just run Linux in a virtual machine

Sorry, yesterday I was reading threads concerning compilation of kernels and found a How to using linux (crossposted) and read someone tried to do it on windoze lol.
Anyway, thanks. I am going to switch to Linux, using a dualboot. (not ready to leave Windows lol)

hey guys. I would want to install Android on a Samsung S5380 Wave Y that runs with Bada in the present if could be possible. It's a smarthphone but i don't really like bada and i would want to install android on it, but i can't really find a tutorial how to do it. Did someone done this task, it is possible? Thank you

No, you can't because it designed to run bada and you need to make android rom yourself for your phone, which is not possible as it requires high technical knowledge like compiling a rom, compiling kernel for your device using source of another device! You should have good knowledge of soldering pins or wires to flash boot loader on main board by opening the phone! The results may not be guaranteed, you might also brick your cellphone.

and... sorry for the bad english and the treath on wrong place.
but, is there a ROM with Ubuntu touch ??? i see a video of a installation ubuntu touch in a S3 with the recovery mode
Nope ... it isn't possible ...
it isnt possible. coz we dont have drivers. n if we have drivers it wont possible i think. its so hard to buils a new os. btw wrong section. mods plz move this thread to q&a section.

It's possible. Just very hard, we don't need drivers to do it.. Look at sga2, someone is building Ubuntu touch for them even though they don't have drivers.

The devs working on it said they'll contact other Ubuntu touch devs.. or something like that, its a shame lopicl stopped developing as he was gonna add dualboot to his kernel:/
I already thought on giving it a try. I heard that it needs a JB build.

Debian linux works on our device..No need of dual boot kernel...
There is app just like VMvirtualware..
Ubuntu doesnt run on a Device like ace-i....
(i am talking about ubuntu desktopOS not ubuntu touch )
I can learn about developing roms/mods/themes/fixing bugs or porting and all that sort of stuff?? Find it quite interesting and it would be nice if in a few months I could be helping atis112 and co.
You can test CM builds on DX Developers Unite and test stuff by building if you have a good PC.

As devs are waiting for atis112's device tree and new kernel source 3.4 (I think?). I don't think you can really do anything at the moment.
You can fix Sense 5 Bluetooth, btw.

Wait, i might have a 32bit one with 6g of RAM and and like 2gh but its a vista
Then there is another 64bit one 4g of RAM windows 7 but not sure on the rest of the specs
would any of them manage?

Listen Please:
1. YOU NEED LINUX DISTRO. UBUNTU/LIMUXMINT/ETC ETC and 64 bit (Not Windows, as compiling on it, EVEN IF YOU SOMEHOW DO IT, will be complex as hell)
2. Ram must be at least 3-5 gb, otherwise the compile will crash a lot. Then you have to restart and resume compile multiple times.
3. You are a total noob... Not saying in Offensive way, but its a fact. So dont hurry about anything. Better yet, search google and chat with any dev.
Sincere advice, Read lots of guide and learn linux first. If you havent used it till now, you wont be able to do a single thing on it..... it is TOTALLY unlike windows... except maybe a few GUI elements.
Learn about linux some more. Then follow some compile guides by searching google. I know you are eager to help and learn, but creating threads wont make you learn... reading will. Read, read and then read some more.

Well I recommend you to start from decompiling various apk's and making changes in them. That's how I started. You should not start directly with compiling and stuff yet.. make a stock based custom rom for your phone. That's the first step.
As the topic says, I would like to learn more about ROM developing, unbricking and troubleshooting Android.
I've found some tutorials about these, but I still have some question.
1. How ROMs are made for specified devices, why would the same ROM for different devices vary?
2. Can I port certain ROM like CyanogenMod for my devices based on a clean AOSP for my devices?
3. Is it necessary to use Linux for the development?
4. How people develop ROM for the devices? ( following q1, how they find the differences?)
5. What programming language I should know? (I do programmed with C#)
6. Is there any reading for such subjects? If there is, what are the suggestions.
Well these should be all of my questions =D
edit: I am interested in communication between C#(Windows) and android, anyone any ideas?
Every device have difernet specifications hence the roms change according to it so we have to tailor it according to tge device
And about the use of linux the android is based on linux platform so for more developments we shld hav linux but for simple works you can use windows with help of cygwin

Well, what do you mean about change? Such as the driver for different processor?
Change means yes ofcourse the drivers processor camera screen size quality graphics etc etc every phone is dfrnce in someway so the rom is also dfrnt

so android is not linux? hmm, I will remember that :good:
another question, I tried running 'dd' command from adb shell but it failed (if on the devices with terminal, then yes), what's the problem?
Lets say Android is Linux's half-brother. About your other question I'm not sure, but for the people that can answer it you'll need to provide more information. One thing I do know is you want to be very careful with dd commands, unless you know what you're doing you could have problems. Problems like a phone that'll never boot again, caution is suggested.
