Linux for android

[pyte]

I'm not any good in this things but i'd like to know how i could get to replace android with linux for my mobile phone.
i think this could be possible but i don't know if the LG Optimus zone would handle this?
any ideas and references to a good read on the same would be appreciated.

Welcome to the world where android is infact linux To get more linux like tools in the bash environment install busybox. (rooted)

There is as far as Im aware no 'native' linux solution for mobile phones yet.
Most of what your gonna find online are chrooted env and alike, most of which are hacks.
Mostly due to them locked bootloaders etc companies trying to prevent it.
There is archlinux for ARM for example.

And what might interest you is that there will be a ubuntu phone coming out.

The current "new" ubuntu touch is android based.


And you can get the debian package manager on android

Unfortunately i haven't been in a position to interact with the new ubuntu one but still i hope i will soon.
i assume it would be as effective as it has proven to be for my laptop.

Personally I never liked ubuntu.
However in this case im very willing to make an exception.
As long as its linux based, man that would be great.
Thats an understatement, finally a useful device!

I'm of the exact same opinion. Very nifty thing to own.

chrooted is really the only way its being done right now. Linux Deploy in the market works well. As far as native a few devices have gotten debian on them. Check through XDA-Developers. They have methods and stuff

Native Archlinux on Galaxy Note 10.1 (N80XX)

And what is that way to run a "whole linux command"?

I think he means to run a chrooted linux in android . But the whole linux command would better reffered to as busybox.

Busybox is in no way a complete linux and has many limitations, even if you're rooted.
