Hey there!
So I have my old but trusty Asus TF201 still laying around, mostly unused. I kinda want to revive it as a portable Linux "laptop" but all the guides I've seen so far are either somewhat unfinished or don't give me a lot of confidence that they'll work. Or they're just outdated as hell...
Currently I have KatKiss running on it, latest version. But it's still laggy and really not a pleasure to use at all, the main reason why it's laying around so far.
So, any ideas?
I have one as well, I had put Ubuntu on it awhile back (Ubuntu was only distro with GUI) it worked overall, but was still slow cause the kernel wasn't optimized for the hardware it was running on. Those guides, while outdated, will still work. I'm currently working on porting Halium to my note 4, after that I am going to look into getting Halium on the tf201 and a distro of Ubuntu (dunno for certain though)

I'm wondering if it is possible to Dual Boot/Multi Boot Nook Tablet?
e.g. Android + Windows (of course the one for Tablets) OR Linux OR even iOS OR any other?
Anyone interested?
I can be part of this development, though i'm newbie in android world and mostly i'm playing with MatLab, C, C++, Jave (very less) etc. But i think i still can be useful somehow and i am also ready to use my NT for development/testing purpose (provided that i get some solution of backup/restore with apps installed)
thanks
I would consider looking up this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21323255
Adam provides a little bit of insight about dual booting from sdcard and more!

windows 8 doesn't work on the Nook. Only the devices which come out with windows 8 can actually run windows 8. ios also doesn't work because there's no source code out there. Linux is under development, I think it's Adam Outler who does that.
yes, for windows/ios, may not possible but i think, linux is possible. i have been going through the threads. actually due to some hardware issues, like processor etc. NT can't be generalized. also, even with rooting, we are still far behind in using its true capabilities.
CM9 is on it's way. Currently sound doesn't work, the kernel paniks sometimes and some minor bugs are the problems for the devs.
well, looking forward for CM9. i hope it will give more freedom than existing root...
I looking forward for CM7, maybe alpha version will be release few next days.
Is it possible to run Ubuntu on the Nook tablet, especially with the new Kernel development?
It is possible, but I wouldn't count on it right now. Just wait till' the devs get more work on the 3.0, then Ubuntu will be in the windshield, just, not that close.
Sorry to drag up the old post, but I couldn't find anything else on this. Now that the 3.x kernel is more stable, is running Ubuntu on the NT better that with the old kernel?
Bodhi Linux for Nexus 7

Perhaps some developers can leverage this toward getting Linux-on-NT.
I' e been trying to port this with no luck, if I get something working I'll report here but don't expect something soon.

Hey XDA! This is my first post so bear with me...
Recently Acer announced their new Tegra K1 Chromebook and I have to say it's pretty intriguing. I really want to buy one, my only problem being Chrome OS. Don't get me wrong, I love it, it's just not robust enough for me. I want to really make use of the K1 by playing more high end games like ones for Android that are more optimized for it. Touchscreen not being a huge issue here. I'd use a PS3 controller of course. Plus with all the apps already developed for the Droid platform it makes a lot more sense than web based Chrome OS.
So, question time.....
Do you think it would be possible to install KitKat or maybe even Android L Beta on a system like this? I have researched it a little and the Tegra uses ARMv7 architecture. I don't know a whole lot about what that means, but as far as I understand it's 64-bit not 32. Does that mean I would have to use a special KitKat OS on this? Also how in the world would I go about doing this? I have successfully installed Ubuntu (I think 12.04) on an older Samsung Chromebook which dual boots both Ubuntu and Chrome OS; however, I am not sure that the steps involved would be the same. Seeing as how this is a fairly new device, Google is of no help whatsoever....
EXTRA, EXTRA!
Would it be possible to make Android the default OS so it auto boots without going to the OS verification screen?
Thanks for reading! Really hope I can get some answers, looking forward to doing some "real" gaming on the cheap!
Does anyone have a recommendation on which Chromebook to get that is possible to install Arch Linux on without many issues, ideally with a 12+ inch screen?
HP Chromebook 14
I have read on the Stack Exchange Forums that the HP Chromebook 14 runs this smoothly. I Run Ubuntu on mine and it has only given me the expected little issues you deal with on these types of installs... Totally worth it. I only had one issue with my Chromebook and it was my battery dying. Not sure of other brands but you have to ship back to HP for this particular model. CS was great to deal with and they returned it back quickly...... All in all I would make sure you get a book running Intel. I hear the most issues on other ARM processors, with the exception of the 13.04 on the Samsung ARM chromebook.
ask Ubuntu dot com - best I have found for answers. Kind of like this one.. Not a lot of people just arguing trying to prove they are smarter than the other.. Just good help!
Hope this helps, please feel free to check out the Ubuntu section on Stack Exchange and I find the people on the Google+ very nice as well.

I know that distraction-free laptops are popular these days and I can see how they can be helpful. The only problem is they are super expensive, especially for what they do!
My question is, how hard is it to make one using an older Chromebook (not getting updates) or an older Chromebook with a Linux distro on it?
Thanks!
