Hello all,
Is there a way to build the native android kernel for your device, to include other linux applications?
I would like to build X11 inside of android and use the existing GUI of android.
I'd also like to be able to compile other linux apps isde android as well.
all the searching I have is about linux inside of a chroot, and that's not what i'm looking for.
since android is build upon linux, then really it should only be a matter of runing a few scripts to call init files and other libraries?
I did see this "Build native GNU/Linux applications: the easy way"
But nothings been done since early 2012.
If I'm going to be compiling an android and its kernel for a device from scratch, then it makes sense to extend the linux to include the functionality to build native linux apps as well, right?
I want to know it's possible or not to install Kali NetHunter on Lenovo A7-10F.

Arch Linux is an independently developed, x86-64 general-purpose GNU/Linux distribution that strives to provide the latest stable versions of most software by following a rolling-release model. The default installation is a minimal base system, configured by the user to only add what is purposely required.¹
NOTE: The Arch Linux packages are no longer updated. Consider taking a look at the postmarketOS port instead.
Introduction
With Android 5.0 (Lollipop), the ASUS MeMO Pad 7 (ME176C(X)) was updated with UEFI boot, making it possible to boot any Linux distribution on it. archlinux-me176c aims to make Arch Linux fully work on the ASUS MeMO Pad 7 (ME176C(X)). It provides additional packages and documentation for using Arch Linux on this device.
With me176c-boot, Linux can be installed in dual/multi boot configurations together with Android. Arch Linux is a minimal distribution, therefore most of the setup (partitioning, installing a desktop environment, ...) will be left up to you. However, it also allows you to customize it entirely to your liking, and configure it for any use case you can imagine.
Installation
Warning: Although the wiki article below provides many recommendations, at the end, setting up the installation will be left up to you. There is no step-by-step guide. If you have never used Arch Linux before, you may want to try it on a desktop PC or virtual machine first. You can easily brick your tablet if you don't know what you are doing!
All documentation is available in ASUS MeMO Pad 7 (ME176C(X)) - ArchWiki. As a wiki article, I encourage everyone to contribute and share their experiences with everyone else.
If you need any help or further suggestions, do not hesitate to ask in this thread!
FAQ
Can I use other Linux distributions on this tablet? Yes! However, you will need to set up more things manually. There are a few notes for this in linux-me176c: Porting - Using linux-me176c in other distributions

Yes. (It has Intel Graphics just like on normal Intel PCs, and therefore OpenGL and Vulkan support is provided by Mesa.)

The recommended setup is to keep Arch Linux on an external SD card. Then you can have Android and Arch Linux installed at the same time ("dual boot").
@lambdadroid man when running
# pacman -Sy me176c
or trying to install base packages it says
error: me176c:signature from "lambdadroid is known trust error: failed to update me176c (invalid or corrupted database (GPG signature)
when running
$ pacman-key --finger keyid
it says pub
ed25519 2017-08-10 [sc] [expired: 2019-08-17] uid [expired]
should I try an offline instalation?
No longer updated
The binary repository has been down for a while now - I have no plans to update the Arch Linux packages again. This is mostly because I'm no longer using Arch Linux myself on the me176c / K013.
However, as a replacement a postmarketOS port with same functionality has been around for a while. Since it's much more comfortable to install (simply through Fastboot/SD card with a large number of selectable UI interfaces) I prefer it over Arch Linux at this point. I would recommend it to anyone who would like to use a more standard "Linux" distribution on me176c / K013.
