Hey people what's up? Today I'm going to show you how to run Ubuntu on your android phone the easy. No kernel flashing, or pushing wimax drivers, or WiFi drivers will be necessary.

First download the ubuntu.img, ubuntu.sh, and the ubuntu.sh.md5 file from here: http://minus.com/mKGww7gIl#2

Here's a link just to the ubunu.sh if you want it: http://minus.com/mKGww7gIl#1


Then make a folder named Ubuntu on your SD card and transfer them there.

Finally open up termial emulator and type "su" then hit enter
Next type "cd sdcard/ubuntu"
After that type " sh ubuntu.sh"

(ignore the warning) Then go and open up Android VNC.

Address: localhost ((or keep empty, it may work better for some that way))
Password: ubuntu
Port: 5900
BPP 24

You're all set!!

  • could you also post a link only to the ubuntu.sh file?

  • @Daniboyat okay..I posted it

  • OOMMGG Change FILE HOSTER !

    SLOWER AS MY GRANDMA !!!

  • @GameRockTV Lol..I re-uploaded it

  • Just a suggestion, you might want to add a mirror for downloading. I clicked the second link (first link is dead) and the download didn't start, it just hung. So I cancelled the download and tried to download it again and I have to wait an hour an a half to attempt the download again.

  • @Havek923 Okay..I re-uploaded it to a different mirror.
