I learned about this here... http://fieldeffect.info/w/NativeCompileSDK
You can install an i386/x86_64 chroot within your existing Debian chroot using qemu-user-static to run the Android SDK on your Android phone/tablet/phablet.
1.
Get yourself a debian chroot, I recommend at least 2gb. I use DebianKit from market.
2.
You will need a X11 desktop environment and a VNC client on your device. I use androidVNC from market.
Here is my working example...
Start your Debian chroot/environment and do...
apt-get install openbox openbox-themes obmenu obconf menu menu-xdg xdg-utils xfonts-base xfonts-terminus* nautilus terminator lxappearance gmrun leafpad man-db hicolor-icon-theme tightvncserver tint2
That gives you a window manager, fonts, filebrowser, terminal emulator, text editor, theme manager, taskbar, and a VNC server.
Now lets get some GTK engines and libraries....
apt-get install gtk2-engines-auroa gtk2-engines-murrine gtk2-engines-oxygen gtk2-engines-pixbuf libgtk2.0-bin gtk3-engines-oxygen gtk3-engines-unico libgtk-3-bin
Now 7zip to handle zips and archives comfortably(put non-free in your apt sources.list)...
apt-get install p7zip p7zip-full p7zip-rar zip unzip
##The Android SDK manager, qemu, and multistrap##
apt-get install ant file openjdk-6-jre openjdk-6-jdk qemu-user-static libswt-gtk-3-java libswt-cairo-gtk-3-jni
3.
Now we can build a small x86_64 rootfs using multistrap
multistrap can use a config, have mine...
http://db.tt/hS5j3wg
Copy multistrap.conf straight into your working(pwd) directory....
cp /sdcard/Download/multistrap.conf .
Do this to avoid multistrap complaining later...
cat multistrap.conf >mstrap
mkdir /data/mnt
Determine size of rootfs for loop image..
du -hs /data/mnt/
Now make an image for x86_64 chroot
dd if=/dev/zero of=/sdcard/64bit.img bs=$(( 0x100000 )) count=YOUR IMAGE SIZE
That byte size makes your image slightly larger than the count value in Mb, for example count=78 will write 82Mb image.
mkfs.ext2 /sdcard/64bit.img
tune2fs -c0 /sdcard/64bit.img
mkdir /data/tmp
busybox mount -o loop /sdcard/64bit.img /data/tmp/
cp -r /data/mnt/* /data/tmp/
umount /data/tmp
rm -r /data/tmp/
rm -r /data/mnt/
mkdir /data/mnt
busybox mount -o loop /sdcard/64bit.img /data/mnt/
5.
Now the environment is set up and mounted, at this point install the SDK
Aim your browser to http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Select "Linux" from "SDK Tools Only", thats the last thing at the bottom of the list.
cp /sdcard/Download/android-sdk_r21.0.1-linux.tgz .
7z x android-sdk_r21.0.1-linux.tgz russosv
7z x android-sdk_r21.0.1-linux.tar
Now we need a couple goodies from http://fieldeffect.info/w/NativeCompileAPK ##--Thanks to russosv from FeildEffect

Copy that to run-64, then...

/usr/bin/run-i386 $(dirname $0)/64BIT/$(basename $0) [email protected]
Make that run-64-link
chmod 755 run-64-link
cp run-64-link /usr/bin/
5b.
Now launch VNC server
tightvncpasswd
tightvncserver
killall Xtightvnc
cat >.vnc/xstartup<<EOF
tint2 &
terminator &
openbox-session
EOF
tightvncserver
export DISPLAY=:1
6.
Now launch the VNC client I mentioned earlier, should connect with 127.0.0.1:5901 and your password you set.
Go back to terminal or use the one launched on X11 to do...
sh android-sdk-linux/tools/android
Install at least one api.
If all went well you can now go around "debugging" yours and your friends Android devices over wifi now.
For an example, and to see it work do....
svc wifi disable(or enable) ##this turns off/on wifi
setprop service.adb.tcp.port 5555(or -1) ##this turns on/off adb over network
stop adbd
start adbd
adb connect 127.0.0.1(yours) or any other adbd addy listening on your network,
Have fun
Never did a "how to" before, go easy and I'll make corrections and answer things. Thanks for reading. Leave feedback.
Potential necro post but I believe the information is still currently valid and not readily available on searches. I've looked variations of this up for years with no luck until I hit the right search terms.
bump, and thanks.
can't believe there's no comments.
I know it's a slower than real-64-bit-pc method but not all of us have access to new hardware... or pc's. Maybe a novelty, still cool and useful if you've got the time to let the slower hardware compile.
you have preserved the scripts, original link is dead.
here is the Internet Wayback Machine cache of the original circa 2012 for reference.

Update 1/4/11
reflect changes to ubuntu.sh and bootubuntu scripts and streamlining the process. Added screenshots
_________________________
I was over at nexusonehacks.net and looking at the ubuntu on nexus one hack and was thinking that this could be ported to the nook color. The idea is to run ubuntu from an img on the sd card.
The following is a modified version of the "how to" orginally posted here
http://nexusonehacks.net/nexus-one-hacks/how-to-install-ubuntu-on-your-nexus-oneandroid/
Credits
The guys at NexusOneHacks
xda user munday who has modified the scripts to work for the nook color
Devs at XDA Developer for the Ubuntu ARM image for HTC HD2
Saurik (Jay Freeman) for the Debian G1 script, which was hacked for Ubuntu on Nexus One! and then re-hacked for the Nook Color by munday
Here we go:
1) Go download the ubuntu file here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=67BU4Y3T
2) Extract the contents using 7zip http://www.7-zip.org/download.html
3) Copy the extracted folder "ubuntu" to the root of your SD card
4) Unmount the nook from your pc, go into the app NookColor Tools (if you don't have it download it here courtesy of Ben 74 and click All Settings->Development then uncheck Auto Mount. This will prevent the SD card from being mounted automatically when plugged into the PC
5) Plug the Nook back into your pc and open a command line then navigate to your android sdk folder ie C:\android-sdk or wherever you have it and type
Code:
adb devices
Hit enter and make sure that the nook color comes up (should be the SN of your Nook)
Note: This can also be done from terminal emulator instead of adb...but it is kind of a pain
6) Now we want to go into the command line on the nook so type
Code:
adb shell
Hit enter and this should bring up a "#" sign.
7) Type
Code:
su
hit enter (I do this just as a force of habit)
8) Now we navigate to the ubuntu folder we just copied to our sd card by entering
Code:
cd /sdcard/ubuntu
hit enter. To confirm you are where you want to be you can type
Code:
ls
and it should list the contents of the ubuntu folder.
9) Run the setup script ubuntu.sh by entering the following:
Code:
sh ./ubuntu.sh
hit enter
10) Now type
Code:
bootubuntu
and hit enter
11) So now we have ubuntu command line up and running which should look like:
Code:
[email protected]:/#
We will need to get some packages to run a gui and then connect to it via VNC client. So we need to update a few things first. Type:
Code:
apt-get update
then
Code:
apt-get install tightvncserver
now we need the gui elements so enter this:
Code:
apt-get install lxde
12) Type the following:
Code:
export USER=root
vncserver -geometry 1024×600
this sets the resolution...you can change it to play around, but the native resolution for the nook is 1024x600. This is also where you will set the password for your vnc server...make sure to remember it
13) Next, we are going to add the following to /root/.vnc/xstartup file using cat command: (hit enter after each line and ignore the fact that it looks like it does it twice)
Code:
cat > /root/.vnc/xstartup
#!/bin/sh
xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
icewm &
lxsession
After hitting enter after the last line press "Ctrl+D" twice then press enter
14) We need the vnc server to start every time we start ubuntu, type this:
Code:
cat > front
export USER=root
cd /
rm -r -f tmp
mkdir tmp
cd /
vncserver -geometry 1024×600
Same as before, hit enter after each line then after hitting enter for the last line press "Ctrl+D" twice then press enter.
15) Enter this
Code:
cat front /root/.bashrc > temp
Then
Code:
cp temp /root/.bashrc
16) Now on the nook open up your vnc viewer app (android vnc viewer or PocketCloud...or whatever you use)
Use the following settings:
Host Address: 127.0.0.1 (some don't require this)
Password: the password you set up in step 16
Port: 5901
Save and then click connect and you should be up and running on ubuntu! To leave ubuntu type exit from adb. This should kill ubuntu. Exit adb and then you can disconnect the nook from your pc.
To start ubuntu from the nook open up a terminal emulater and type:
Code:
bootubuntu
Hit enter, this should bring up the [email protected], hhen press "Home" key and open up your vnc app. Now you are ready to rock your Linux tablet!
You could also use gscript lite to automate the process of starting ubuntu so you don't have to type it in the terminal everytime. You can get gscript lite from the market or download the file I have attached.
It does seem a little laggy..just a little...for now anyway
To exit ubuntu: Disconnect the vnc client then hold the "Home" key (I use button savior which brings up a nice little task manager) and click the Terminal emulator when it pops up under running tasks. Once you are back in the terminal you can type:
Code:
exit
to shut down ubuntu.
Enjoy and make sure you thank munday and the guys at nexusonehacks and all the devs who helped make it possible.

EDIT:
I noticed that after rebooting the nook would hang at the "Future of reading" screen....if this happens turn the device off remove the sd card the turn the nook back on. It should boot fine. After it's finished you can return the sd card and mount it. This is strange and I'm looking into it. I'm not sure if this is limited to me or if it is universal to all nooks. It also still fails at shutting ubuntu down for some reason. I'm still looking into this.g into this.
I got it going, just needed a few "busybox"-es here and there . It needs some work, right now to get X you have to use VNC.
It's sluggish but a bit more work might just yield something a bit more usable. I'll play more tomorrow night.
Here's my scripts:
ubuntu.sh
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
busybox modprobe ext2
rm -f /data/local/bin/fsrw
rm -f /data/local/bin/bootubuntu

umount $mnt
Then just followed the instructions at nexusonehacks.
note: to run bootubuntu i had to use sh and the use the full path:
Code:
# sh /system/bin/bootubuntu
other note: I was using adb not a term app on the nook.
Obligatory video
I can't post links yet so check: youtube.com/watch?v=TnXfZ6aagn8 for a really boring video
EDIT: switched the names, DOH!
I also had to use sh and the full path also. Thanks for the update on the script...gonna try it in the morning (it's 2am here) will also see if I can help to get it running smoother. What class SD card are you using? I imagine a class 4 or higher would yeild better results as far as responsiveness goes.
The sd is a class 2 that came in one of my dev phones. I'll pick up a faster one tomorrow after work and test it out.
It's just about 3am here now, we must be in the same time zone.
I'm going to bed now, but first here's a modded version of the script you had originally posted that also works now.
bootubuntu
Code:
#!/bin/sh

echo "Shutting down Ubuntu"
umount $mnt/dev/pts
umount $mnt/proc
umount $mnt/sys
umount $mnt
busybox losetup -d /dev/loop1
#unregistering the loopback device just seems to die. need to fix or remove.
I'll look at the N1 formus tomorrow too and see if they have made progress in getting X to run fast or without need for VNC.
Nice work, I am addicted in seeing the crazy crap people are doing everyday.
Couldn't sleep so I'm messing around with it now...I'm using a class 4 and have it up and running. It does seem to be a little laggy, but I don't have a class 2 to compare it to. Let me know what you find out, I'll keep playing with it also to see if I can get it to be more responsive...but we are definately on our way to having a great little linux tablet in addition to android. You should also be able to use this for other builds of linux also by just changing out the .img file to a flavor of your choosing. I'm excited
I have also updated the OP with the how to and credits. Really appreciate your help munday.

Edit:
Running into some strange occurrences...it appears that when you type exit from the terminal to kill ubuntu, I believe ubuntu stays running...anyway, I'm going to bed and will work on it more tomorrow.

Are there any increased risks with changing the version you use?
Well, you will want to make sure that the build supports ARM based devices.

I've tried running ubuntu.sh from the terminal emulator (With su) and from ADB, and have not had success with either.
The readout is:

Is there a problem with how I copied the script? I assume the first part about the file existing is due to this being the third or fourth time I've tried running the script (Unsuccessfully), but I've no idea how to interpret the rest.
Thanks

Try using these, just unrar and then copy them in your ubuntu folder, if it asks to overwrite just click yes...also you have autmounting of the sd card turnned off in nook color tools settings right?
Yeah, it must have been an error on my end. Using the updated scripts you posted worked like a charm.
Thanks!

Good to hear!
I'm currently working on making this a port to the SD card so that with the sd card in it boots into ubuntu from power off, and with the sd card out it boots to android then you replace the sd and use it for storage like normal. It will also run a lot snappier....well that's the idea anyway.

Booting from SD in the same fashion as Nookie Froyo? That sounds like it would give a huge performance boost over the current method, I can't wait to see what you come up with.
This should be acheivable using the method mentioned in this topic:

I was thinking the exact same thing, the nook seems to like booting from sd, so we should be able to set up the partitions like the foryo sd and edit the init.rc and env.txt to boot ubuntu instead of android. Just a theory though. It's my plan for tonight anyway.

I also stumbled across this: http://androix.org/ Which talks about a native android xserver which does a way with the vnc aspect altogether. I downloaded and attempted to install but I get the error "There is a problem parsing the package" and I haven't had any luck plus there isn't much documentation.
Let me know how it goes munday, I'll be working on the same thing later (have to take the fiance out for dinner)
question
I was just curious, after installing ubuntu can we install flash as we would had we booted linux from netbook?
Ok I'm on the OTA 2.3.4 from a fresh unlocked 4.1.83 no problems what soever and I'm looking to make a few mods when I saw the link posted for the 2.3.4 HDMI Mirror over at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1169457
I went ahead and ran
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system
sed -ie s/ro.hdmi.mirror.enable=false/ro.hdmi.mirror.enable=true/g /system/build.prop
mount -o remount,ro /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system
cd /etc/init.d
cp startXServer.sh startXServer.bak
(head -n 40 startXServer.bak; echo "if [ ! -e /var/run/noWebtop ]; then"; tail -n 12 startXServer.bak; echo "fi") > startXServer.sh
restart your phone
I read through the command and seemed pretty safe and was excited because the post listed the HDMI Mirror as being in "landscape" mode. Hell yeah right! Well it wasn't, it was the same portrait so I was looking to revert back. Go change the build.prop back for the ro.hdmi.mirror to equal false. No big deal that's easy enough with root explorer. Read through the commands and saw that the startXServer.sh was cp to startXServer.bak. Easy enough just delete the startXServer.sh and rename startXServer.bak to .sh.
Well there is the problem. When i ran the commands the first time didn't work so i went into the build.prop and did a manual change. Then re-ran the bottom half. It seems doing that I over wrote the .bak agan and now both files are exactly the same and have no way of reverting. I have the system, boot, and webtop backed up with an .img but that didn't fix my entertainment center when I plug in an HDMI to the TV. The original commands did a back-up so I didn't double back-up the file.lol
I was wondering if a dev that has a little more command line knowledge, maybe the orginal contents of startXServer.sh, or the actual file could help me out with the revert back and a working entertainment center. The current contents are
if [ ! -e /var/run/noWebtop ]
fi
I'm pretty sure that's the problem, unless someone else sees something I'm missing.
**Edit**
This was solved under the Q&A Section from a earlier post yesterday afternoon. Mods please close if necessary. In case any one needs it see below. I just rewrote the startXServer.sh to contain the following.
#!/bin/sh
#
# startX.sh
#
# This script starts the X server
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
#
# By default this script does nothing.

then

else
sudo -u adas -i /usr/bin/startx /usr/local/bin/xnull -- -nolisten tcp -layout HDMI vt2 &

Well the script should be working, it is 'ettin.sh' now. To get VNC to work on separate device just change 'eth0' to 'wlan0' or whatever other interface you know how to configure, like usb maybe, in the 'init.sh' script that resides in ~/ on the images you can download from http://linuxonandroid.org/downloads/. Cool. If anyone can help with the usb configuring that would be cool.
Also on the different roms your storage might be different so just change that to what suites your environment,
BAD NEWS, After my first launch and exiting the VNC on my laptop (Ubuntu) My phones home button and a few other functions stopped working, a reboot remounts the root and system partitions and it goes back to normal essentially, I haven't noticed any adverse affects after the reboot.
Good luck.
EDIT: If you can't help me, you probably shouldn't attempt any of this.
I want to connect to backtrack over usb from Ubuntu on my laptop instead of from my phone. Is there a good way of doing this?
The thing is, I didn't chroot, I mounted the image, copied the contents of '/etc/*' and '/sbin/*' to the '*/etc' '*/sbin' dirs of the mounted image. and then mounted it's (the image's) contents to Androids rootfs '/' then I set up a little script to set up the environment and execute '/bin/bash -i init.sh' and again reset PATH to include /system/*.
Then in the init.sh script I want to set up a way to 'vnc' through' usb to backt4acks desktop. How would I do this?
EDIT: I started this script blelow, its not complete, feel free to use it however you like.
If anyone is good with bash I need help with loops in Bash or shell, ksh, or ash. So if you change it at all share those changes here. I haven't tested any of the loops, I wrote this here and need to do some reading on shell scripting, peace out.
Just NOTE that I would not execute this script yet, it is NOT YET COMPLETE.
I will be making minor changes as I learn and test things out, Also this was inspired by the autobootscrip (sp?) that the Linux on Android Installer app uses.

I need a little help with the mounting part, "is there anybody out there?"
EDIT: Maybe escape '\' characters...
Maybe this will work? 'if [ ! -d "/$d" -a "$d" \!= "dev" -o "$d \!= "mnt" ]; then ' I want it to test whether the directory does not already exists in / and if it is not named dev or named mnt then mount it. Do you think this is a decent way to do it? Any suggestions?
Sorry, I still haven't tested this script yet, so if you brave and see any changes that will make it work I am not resposible. But it is getting close to when I will run it for the first time. The difference between this and the one I wrote for Kali is this should be a one stop shop so to speak for getting into a non chroot enviroment where you can access Bt's tools from Android directly. Apperently about a year ago someone was trying something similar called "debian installer" or something, I haven't tried it out so maybe that actually works, idk, I am happy with this.
LOL
LMFAO!
I just realized I don't think I needed to worry about testing if the variable $d was named 'dev' or 'mnt' because they should get skipped by already being mounted. If not I guess if it works as is, may be extra precaution.
Done! Almost ;{)-
Uhmm.... hope you can see the screenshot...
its over wifi though, I had to edit the init.sh script just eth0 to wlan0 in 2 lines, duh! where is eth0 on phone?
Check out the filesystem
Bada bing, bada doom, dare ya goes`a for ya.
V-0.021
This should support args, if your using different image or location such as external sdcard or want to mount to a different location
Notes: 'ettin.sh' [/IMAGE/LOCATION] [IMAGENAME] [MOUNT/POINT]'
1) Don't add a trailing forward slash for image location, the first argument. Doing so may conflict with the script.
2) Don't add suffix to image name ( second argument), the script uses a wild card period wild card syntax to account for .iso, .raw, or .img aswell as version numbers, so if its backtrack-v-r5.img all you need is 'backtrack'.
3) Default mount is "/data/local/mnt"
for example:
Code:
ettin.sh /storage/extSdCard/ubuntufolder ubuntu /mnt/myLinux
That ^^^ will use a ubuntu image on the external sdcard and mount it to a folder called "myLinux" within the "/mnt" directory.
The script below...
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
# ettin.sh v-0.021, "Two heads are better than one."
# Written by 'Edge-Case' @ 'forum.xda-developers.com'
# This version is attempting to use symbolic linking to correct some issues.
## The purpose of ettin.sh is to merge a Linux system with Android
## hopefully allowing both systems to run in synch with each other.
## It is probably best to be ran on devices with multi-core processors.
##"""Notes on Backtrack and Kali Linux Distributions:
##"""1) Postgresql needs to be configured in order for metasploit to connect to
##""" the database. This might be possible within the script. Perhaps
##""" it is simply a matter of configuring SSH? I don't know.
##"""2) The Kernel needs to be patched to allow for packet injection and
##""" monitor mode for an external 'wi-fi' card as the factory hardware
##""" does not support monitor mode, at least on Samsung Galaxy SIII.

Pretty happy with it now, so far. Touch FIXED
Well, I am tethered from my phone to my laptop, running ubuntu, this is how I am on the internet, so my phone is doing that...
I ran 'ettin.sh /storage/sdcard0/ubuntu ubuntu' using V-0.022 and only had two files that needed overwriting.
The touch is working....check
adb is working...check
Everything is mounted ...check
Apps like browser and dsploit are working on the phone as usual...check
'apt-get update && apt-get upgrade'....check (over adb, no chroot, as [email protected] using bin/bash)
'which nmap' .....check ("
[email protected]:~# which nmap
/usr/bin/nmap
")
Well **** ya'll looks like this might work... I am now going to consider modifying a stock rom to support users and login that meshes with debian and its "shadow" file etc etc, also I need to work out permissions and enviroment variables...
I'm happy...
Also for pentesting distro's "modifying Android kernel" tutorials would be nice, anybody able to point me to one?
I am trying to extract vendor files from an i8730 phone using extract-files.sh
I have Linux Mint 14 with android-tools-adb installed as the adb
adb works fine to a point
[email protected] ~ $ adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
333398202BDF00EC device
adb shell and ls shows files on the phone including the vendor folder
If I run ls from my working directly I can see extract-files.sh
Think the solution is in .bashrc but believe I am not doing it right. When I run extract-files.sh I get this
[email protected] ~ $ ./extract-files.sh
bash: ./extract-files.sh: Permission denied
[email protected] ~ $ sudo extract-files.sh
[sudo] password for megan:
sudo: extract-files.sh: command not found
[email protected] ~ $ sudo./extract-files.sh
bash: sudo./extract-files.sh: No such file or directory
location adb shows
/usr/share/doc/android-tools-adb
location bashrc shows
/etc/bash.bashrc
I have edit bashrc
[email protected] ~ $ sudo gedit /etc/bash.bashrc
[sudo] password for megan:
Have added this to the end
export PATH=${PATH}:/home/megan/usr/share/doc/android-tools-adb
Think this is where I have gone wrong. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Thanks MoonBlade. Think you are suggesting the version on the link so have been working through it. Had to source the files elsewhere as original link is dead. May or may not be a problem.
Got as far as creating the file in /etc/udev/rules.d/ but am unable to create a file in that folder. I am logged in as root. I can view the folder through GUI but not able to create 99-android.rules
Get this mess in terminal

Not sure the above is anything to do with not being able to write to that folder. Any ideas?

ok im not sure exactly what youre trying to do but it sounds like you want to get files from your phones /vendor/ directory and copy them to a directory on your computer. if this is correct then you need to stop playiing around with your .bashrc and your $PATH appends. all you need to use is adb
you dont have to adb shell. once you run adb shell it opens up a terminal inside your device so if youre trying to run a shell script on your computer from inside an adb shell it just wont work.
a simpler way to put this is, if you want to get /vendor/firmware/bcm4329.bin from your phone and put it on your computer in a folder on your desktop you would run it like this
$adb pull /vendor/firmware/bcm4329.bin /home/megan/Desktop/phonevendorfirmware/bcm439.bin
and the directory and file will automatically be created on your computer. from there you can do what ever you wanted to do to the files that you pulled from the phone.
the same works in reverse if you want to move a file to the phone using $adb push

You need to give execution permissions to the script, this way:
Code:
chmod +x extract-files.sh
And then, run your script like this (if the script doesn't need root permissions, run it without sudo):
Code:
sudo ./extract-files.sh
Many thanks haxin and RoberGalarga
I was given the extract-files.sh by a developer to extract vendor files for ROM development - i8730. He did not have the phone (I don't at the moment as has been wrapped for the kids to give to me for my birthday - practicing on an a Galaxy S)
From peeking inside the file it looks like a batch file that grabs all the content from the vendor folder. Did SQL 10 years ago and looks like that. Essentially does what you gave me haxim, but pulls the content of the entire folder. What is the best way to do that with adb pull?
Gave chmod +x extract-files.sh a try.
Without sudo I get
bash:./extract-files.sh : /bin/sh^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
With sudo
sudo: unable to execute ./extract-files.sh: No such file or directory.
Remember I am running this against a i9000, not the phone that I was given the sh file to run against. Get that back the begining of September. Not sure if that makes a difference but if it does not obvious to me.Seems to be falling over on the first line as that appears in the non sudo error message.
Have copied the content of extract-files.sh below.
Thanks again guys. Learning heaps and loving it.

is caused by a bad formatting in the file (Window$ editing... pfff....), so, make a new file using Gedit and paste this directly (don't copy&paste from the original script!!):

Delete the old file, and try the new one (you can use any filename, it doesn't matter).
Many thanks RoberGalarga.
Got the script off a recognised developer along with proprietary-files.txt and setup-makefiles.sh
He is working a CWM and a rom for owners of the i8730 - he does not have the phone so community feed in content. Get the impression he is not a Windows user (he did not have a Windows script for this) so reckon I might have corrupted it.
I did as you advised and made some real progress. Now we get the following:
[email protected] ~ $ sudo ./extract-files.sh
[sudo] password for megan:
egrep: ../express/proprietary-files.txt: No such file or directory
: not foundefiles.sh: 3: ./setup-makefiles.sh:
: Directory nonexistentk ./setup-makefiles.sh: cannot create ../../../vendor/samsung/express
[email protected] ~ $
It breaks further down the script. In the home folder there is proprietary-files.txt which list the files to be extracted along with their file path. Does that message indicate it is looking for proprietary-files.txt in /home/express?
Setup-makefiles.sh is in the home folder as well and appears to be a Cyanogenmod Project file to create a blob from the the results of extract-files.sh

Yes, that's it. Check again, seems like something is missing yet.
Thanks again. Got it to work by building the folder structure
/home/vendor/Samsung/express
And then running the files from there

Hi,
Can't really find a tutorial for our phone, so I'll be, well, making a tutorial
Some notes:
- Compiling is really slow, VERY. Probably RasPi speed.
- Putting the chroot in a specific location helps, due to our phone having weird mountpoints (try typing `mount` and see what happens)
- You can ADB shell into the phone, type "stop" so Zygote is stopped (less RAM usage, less CPU usage, basically pure Linux is running)
- ^ Remember to type "start" after finished playing with the chroot, or you get a frozen phone until forced reboot!
You may be able to adapt this guide to other distros too (although unlikely)
REQUIREMENTS
- Enough juice for playing games for a long time
- A WORKING busybox with "tar xvjpf" available
- You are rooted
1. First of all, su and mount root read/write.
Code:
su; mount -o remount,rw /
2. cd into /data/local
Code:
cd /data/local
3. mkdir linux (or other names if you prefer)
Code:
mkdir linux
4. cd into it
Code:
cd linux
5. Download a stage3 tarball USE ARMv7l, our phone isn't hard-floated and put it in current directory.
- If you use an external browser, make sure the permissions isn't set to r--------, chmod 755 to be sure
- If you use wget, you probably don't have to worry about permissions
6. Extract it. Replace blahblahblah with your file name
Code:
tar xvjpf blahblahblah.tar.bz2
7. Make a chroot script which contains all the necessary bind mounts and commands. Make sure it is in the same dir as your chroot!
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
# Enable network forwarding to the chroot
sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
# Mount proc to "current directory"/proc
mount -t proc proc proc/
# Mount sys, bind
mount -o bind /sys sys/
# Mount dev, bind
mount -o bind /dev dev/
# Symlink proc/self/fd to dev/fd, or portage will fail
ln -s proc/self/fd dev/
# Write resolvconf
echo "8.8.8.8" > etc/resolv.conf
# Make sure the permissions are correct
chmod 755 etc/resolv.conf
# Chroot using /bin/bash as shell
chroot . /bin/bash
Then chmod 755 the script
Code:
chmod 755 chroot.sh
8. All Gentoo users should know this...
Code:
source /etc/profile
9. Edit /etc/portage/make.conf
Code:
nano /etc/portage/make.conf
10. Add these lines to it
Code:
# This will disable userfetch, making name resolution work.
FEATURES="-userfetch"
11. Adjust USE flags and other configs as necessary... save it
12. Enjoy Gentoo on your phone! :laugh::laugh:
13. Just Ctrl+D to exit chroot
