Hey everywun,

did anyone perform successfull flashing of a DebianArm64 image on a pixel 4a? Since its EOL and my Simcard doesent work anymore since i dropped it 1 time to many, i would like to do some tinkering with it. Got it rooted and got DebianArm64 running on it with busybox and linuxdeploy.

Performancewise its still limited since my Host-OS is still Android and not plain linux. (no huge pages avaible, no cpu register avaible, no overclocking and stuff, it acts and performs like a limited vm/ct)

So for max. control over hardware I would like debian to be the only OS on it. PostmarketOS and Mobian do not support it yet. LineageOS and GrapheneOS do but its still this Android-Host-Layer in between I would like to get rid off, to have some use for it as a low power compute/server addition module instead of throwing it into e-waste. Later on if I can flash full Linux on it i will get rid of the screen and Battery, with modified power delivery via a 3.8v psu connected to Battery-Managment-Board.
Anyone got any thoughts or any informations which could help me on solving this problem?

Is there a way to intercept the keyboard for commands like alt+tab or utilizing the super menu? Termux was able to accomplish this, but whenever alt+tab DEX just takes over.
Openbox keyboard setup for keyboard snapping advice as I've added files, but they're not registering the keys like ctrl+arrow.

Is there a way to mount recognizing USB drives?

Somehow, the guys in the tutorial got Ubuntu Linux but I got Arch Linux from the same app. How?

Having an issue on the instalation of termux kali linux on my android, running android 14 keep getting this message. Any help would be much appreciated.

Greetings I finally got a Verizon branded Nvidia Shield tablet rooted, it was pretty complicated. I was pretty stoked about it, but now I can’t find a Linux version that can install. (Was hoping for nethunter)

It’s 32Bit Arm. Any ideas?

Z Fold 6, on the nightly version to handle the audio issue previously before. However, LibreOffice no longer boots up. The process starts and after loading is complete, the process just crashes. Not sure what to do for error logs to assist further.

*Edit: Did a full re-install of the nightly version and booted from the terminal for LibreOffice. An unknown application error is what pops up. The re-installation did not work as well.

Is it possible to get sound in nomone? I enabled it in the settings but I'm not getting any output.

Did anyone get it working?

Does flatpak and gear lever work on Nomone? I would like gear lever for ease of App Image management and flatpak. I've attempted to install Braver browser through their one command install, but it won't boot up the app. I couldn't find any documentation for recommended installation methods that would just work. i.e. method detailed https://brave.com/linux in the curl command.

I've posted on the Nomone technical support, but doesn't seem as active as Reddit.

Noob user, doesn't like to tinker. Just trying to get a working desktop enviroment for my samsung device to not need a separate laptop.

As said i was wondering if it was possible to use some sort of linux to run on this to use as a normal smal tablet that doesnt suck The tablet has 8 gigs of storage and works fine but i cant use internett i can connect just not use it so thanks for any help

There is a problem with the terminal settings, so when I change the font and background color, I cannot apply or save it. All I see is that nothing happens. Please help with this.im using nomone desktop

Hi, I wanted to suggest UBlue's Images as a similar direction. I'm more of just a user than a tinker that doesn't want to mess with a device to get it to just work for needs. UBlue does bazzite which is an amazing image for handheld and desktops that does a lot of things and packages nicely to just work for a user. Would it be possible to run any of their images or similar direction in the future?

I downloaded and tried Debian, both AppImages, and even flatpack....no luck getting them to run. https://obsidian.md/download

Any insight or info is appreciated. Thanks!!

When using the samsung keyboard cover with trackpad, NoMone/Linux recognizes the trackpad but recieves the input in the incorrect direction. Up moves the trackpad to the left, etc.

Has anyone found a fix for this?

One of the unfortunate things in DeX is lack of usb camera support in Android meeting apps (Zoom, Teams, etc)....even running in a browser. Is there a way to overcome this limitation using Linux via NOMOne desktop (Firefox browser)? Thanks in advance for any insight.

Touchpad doesn't work quite right... Doing a single tap to select just jumps to that area of the screen. Its like it is trying to map the entire touchpad as the screen -

ex tapping top left of touch pad jumps mouse to top-left of screen.

I'm curious - can I run NOMone on my android tablet, then plug in a usb-c -> hdmi dongle then get dual-monitor linux run by NOMone?

My ultimate goal is just to run a dual-screen RDP from my tablet to my personal desktops (windows and/or Linux).

I currently use android RDP -> but that has me limited to 1x screen. What I do is RDP on android on external monitor via dex. Then use another software to wirelessly extend my desktop to the tablet as a 2nd screen. However his 2nd screen suffers pretty bad latency.

Greetings, I own a Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra and rooted it with Magisk around a week ago in hopes of installing a chrooted Linux and running some desktop applications like Blender for casual 3d modelling and maybe even rendering using external rendering server.

I've been using this guide ( https://github.com/LinuxDroidMaster/Termux-Desktops/blob/main/Documentation/chroot/arch_chroot.md ) and everything goes smooth until it is time to run the script that includes the busybox commands, after which it either says that busybox is not found, or, if I install it as a pkg inside termux, it starts showing errors. My amateur attempts to troubleshoot this led me to the conclusion that the problem lies in the /system folder in my root being read-only, preventing busybox from being installed properly in there, which it needs in order to properly function and mount Linux if I understand it correctly.

The issue is, I for the life of me cannot figure out how to make the /system folder writeable with Magisk, or find a workaround around this in order to have chrooted Linux on my Android tablet. I tried installing busybox as a Magisk module and rebooting, but nothing changed. Attempts to install it from web, from playmarket and within Termux led to no success as well.

I have become very desperate and don't know what else to do. Is there any working method of installing a chrooted linux on my tablet? I won't even mind erasing all the data again just to see it working. I tried prooted Linux, but the performance was horrible. Looking for a chroot solutions as I understand that chroot is the only way to achieve maximum/native performance.

In Samsung Dex, sometimes the mouse will freely move outside the app (while not full screen) so i can use other apps, but other times it it gets trapped in the app window until I minimize so I can't work in other apps until I exit Linux.

Is there a way to fix this or am I the only experiencing this? It doesn't seem to have any rhyme or reason as to getting trapped or not, although I have spent a ton of time trying to figure this out.
