[Q] Nexus 7 and desktop Ubuntu newer than 13.04 or 12.04 LTS - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I succesfully install Ubuntu 13.04, but it's too old and donť have repositories (404 in terminal). Is there some option how get newer version? Or maybe older LTS 12.04 which still have support. But only I can install that only over Windows (I find some tutorials, but only for Ubuntu).
Or if someone have good tip some linux distro (which have still active repository) or some other OS.
I trying search some interesting option how I can more use N7, because when I bought Mi2S, then N7 was so slow.
Thanks

Hi I have that same problem about repositories. And im now trying to find any results for it but everithing is suspended from original servers and old.
But if I find something then I write to you. And sorry for my bad english

Thank you, if you send me some information
A jen tak mimochodem, můžeš pak napsat soukromou zprávu ve slovenštině, jestli město co máš souhlasí.

Unfortunately, Ubuntu desktop for Nexus 7 was discontinued when 13.04 was released. Maybe you could use the regular repos and see what happens?

If you trying repos in 13.04, then you will see 404 errors, and you can not use some newer repos because stability will decrease. Too bad, N7 is still interesting device and with linux it can be more useful, because Android is quite slow and laggy (4.4.4 and new flashed) compare to my Xiaomi Mi2S.

[Q] Which is the best linux distro on the n7?

Hey,
I have used Ubuntu 13.04 and while it sort of works with LXDE (rotation issues), it is kind of old and so it's not very useful. The link to Plasma Active 4 KDE doesn't work, even the http://d-h.st/Khh one doesn't work (gets you a 14KB file..). Bohdi linux is ancient (early 2013 build). Arch linux installs with the latest slice (2015.07) but the wifi couldn't get configured (something with dialog missing) but the COM port serial connection worked fine. There is a Ubuntu Touch 14.9 RTM version but nobody seems interested in looking into the grouper version..
Anyone wants to provide me with a working archlinux image, a working link to Plasma Active 4 or help with installing Ubuntu Touch 14.9 RTM?
Thanks,
Aurora ^^
Nevermind the post, the stuff just didn't download on the nexus, on the computer it's fine ^^ Bohdi is good since it's based on Ubuntu 12.04 and has support till 2017 ^^ Anyone interested in Ubuntu RTM 14.9 though? http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch/ubuntu-rtm/14.09/daily-preinstalled/pending/

Not particularly interested, but would definitely like something other than Android for a change. Thanks for posting this
Okay! Maybe someone can make a script to make it work since it seems pretty interesting ^^

[Q]Building Native Debian? Nexus7 Grouper

Hi all i was think about building Debian 8 (jessie) for our nexus since the last major full desktop we had was ubuntu 13.04 anyway my question is how would i go about this and would anyone feel like helping as i have only a little rom building knowledge as im not sure really where to start for putting debian on our nexus.
I would suggest looking into armhf images, ubuntu desktop 13.04 documentation and Multirom documentation.
I'd suggest building upon ubuntu core 14.04 LTS however : http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-core/releases/14.04/release/
Probably much less painful ^^

{Q} Custom ROMS (AOSP/CM) for Galaxy A8 (SM-A800F)? Any possibility in Future??

Hello all
I was wondering if there will be AOSP/CM ROM for this device, not a single ROM is available and no dev is interested to work on such a great device.
Such a totally crap device, still stucked on 5.1.1 since launch, no dev is interested in the development either, where android n announced already, we are still waiting for Android M update, i wasted my money on such a **** device, will never buy a sammy mid range in future, m totally fed up with this
I think because there are few developer with that phone and they can't test their work. You can port ROMs such as CM to you phone by your self. There are tons of guides and forums. All u need is a linux OS (such as ubuntu, debian and others) and sources.

yep, I'm on kali and I use windows 10 to play games, so the only thing is: take care when partitioning. After you installed ubuntu there is a bootloader called "GRUB" and there you can choose if you want to boot windows or linux

[SM-T510] (2019) Search for Nethunter/ Kali Linux rom and guide

Hello guys,
this is my first post. Since today I´m a proud owner of a Galaxy Tab A (SM-T510 with 64 GB ROM and 3GB RAM, newest stock android build T510XXU2ASK5, never connected to internet yet).
I want to install Nethunter OS or Kali Linux (if possible) on this and read many hours in the internet but there are some questions:
Has anyone flashed the SM-T510 with Nethunter OS? (if this isn´t possible, a way to just use the kali apps is fine too but not my first choice)
Is it possible to flash directly to the ROM instead to a SD Card?
Which type of processor has the tablet? I think it is amd64 not arm, right? Maybe I could try to flash a Nethunter Image for Galaxy Tab S4 but I´m sure this doesn´t work cause the processor is not exact the same... (https://www.offensive-security.com/kali-linux-nethunter-download/)
I found this thread about Kali Linux installation but I would find a direct installation better https://forum.xda-developers.com/hardware-hacking/hardware/devices-kali-linux-installation-t3414523 (If I can´t install directly, can I use this guide for my device after I rooted it?)
A few years ago I flashed Android on a SD-Card for my HTC Kaiser 130 (still working fine), so I have a little experience about flashing and so on but flashing this tablet looks a little bit more difficult to me, so I want as much information as possible cause I have only one try (in the baddest scenario)
I hope you can help me.
Thanks for reading! (I´m from germany, so I´m sorry for my bad english)
Edit: I have found UserLAnd and will try it now, if someone has a better suggestion, feel free to post it
Where'd you get the idea that this was an AMD64 tablet? All Samsung Galaxy Tab As are ARM, The T510 has an Exynos 7904 or 7885 SoC. And I've never heard of anyone porting a Linux distro to one.

Thanks for your answer lewmur, I just read it is a 64bit proc and thought it is amd64, my last tablet is some years old and I just thinked the technical development is quicker... ^^
Hmm... sounds like bad news, I just googled yesterday and it is a Exynos 7904, yes you´re right. That means it is closed source, damn.
In this thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-m30/help/hope-custom-rom-development-m30-exynos-t3910256) I found someone who maybe has kernel source, I will write him. Maybe where is a way to build a Nethunter image by myself. I have tested UserLAnd on the tab and I don´t really like it, it´s not smooth.
On monday I will go to the shop where I buyed the tab and try to give it back, maybe they have goodwill, then I will buy online a nexus tablet, looks much more easier.
Thank you anyway, maybe someone has some more good tipps for me.
I have downloaded this
nethunter-2021.3-generic-armhf-kalifs-full.zip
and flashed it with TWRP on my Rooted Device and it works on SM-T510 Android 11 StockROM

[DEV-HELP][UBPORTS] Patching kernel with Halium to boot Ubuntu Touch GSI?

I recently came across this UBports port from @erfanoabdi that allows Ubuntu Touch to be booted as a GSI A/AB image. It requires a Halium-patched kernel though, and I don't possess the programming knowledge yet to compile a kernel and the required patches from the tree, can anybody here help with this so that we can get Ubuntu Touch running nicely on our Zuk Z2 Plus?
From what I've noticed on this forum, it seems that progress on getting this device to boot Ubuntu Touch has been helmed by @S.8506.A so I'd guess that this person already has a Halium-patched kernel they could share here. Honestly, it'd be a great win for the power-user folks among us to be able to boot Ubuntu Touch, run Android apps with Anbox when required, and even run desktop apps (so-so) with Libertine containers. Not to mention the privacy capabilities that come with booting Linux.
P.S. There's already this [Treble][GSI] Ubuntu touch for Oneplus 3/3T, note the very similar hardware (esp. identical chipset) between the op3t and z2_plus
