I am, right now, trying to beat a Nexus 7 into running stock Linux. I am failing.
Looks like Ubuntu, Bodhi and something else all came out with distros for the N7, and then all gave up on them. The only current one is Ubuntu Touch, which is a total dead loss. (They've disabled apt-get...)
At the moment I'm trying to run a Debian userland in a chroot, and it's not working particularly well. If only Android supported virtualisation!
- voltagex_ 11y agoBlog about it and/or email me. It depends which Nexus 7, but your path will be something like mine: get a kernel running (even if it doesn't complete booting), get libhybris [1] working, get userland working. You're going to need some kind of serial-out for this. 1: https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Adaptations/libhybris/porters https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Adaptations/libhybris/porte...

- dharma1 11y agoyou can use apt-get (and everything else you'd expect) with Ubuntu Touch, just disable the read only mode
