App Information

Technical Requirements

Debian Kit required Android 1.6+ or higher. The app had a content rating of Everyone. The app had been available on Google Play April 2012.

Description
Kit for debootstrapping Debian Linux on Android devices. No PC required, no image download. Debian Squeeze, Ubuntu Lynx / Precise on ARM or i386 supported. Of course: devices must be rooted to install the kit later on. Installed image will be integrated to Android with symlinks and bind-mounts in order to run Linux on demand side-by-side, hence no chroot jail. Stock ROMs and customized ROMS supported.

The app currently only checks the prerequisites and displays some details about potential showstoppers. The app also includes an offline version of the readme web page. Be sure to RTFM, maybe watch the screen casts (tap video links in the readme, H.264 playback capabilities and Inet required for this).

If you have a i386 tablet (Wetab/Exopc) with android-x86.org/Corvusmod-ICS, you may want to install VirtualBox for the real fun - vbox modules are included with the kit.

I would be pleased if you send me a PM with your device details for inclusion in the tested-devices list.

Comments on Debian Kit for Android

★★★★★ The best Linux for Android - but no longer supported? Outstanding in every respect -- both a simple app to run Debian easily and, as it indicates, a toolkit to build more complex versions. The next best thing to running native Linux on your Android device!
★★★★★ One ambiguity Successfully running lxde but once I get connected to RDP, I can't get sudo/su to work and password for su isn't accepted in LXterminal as well. Su works fine in the android terminal emulator. Hope I get an answer. This is one seamless install guide with checklist and easiest I ever tried.
★★★★★ Works perfectly on my stock (rooted) Nexus 4 I wanted to find a more "up to date" software stack than my old optware tree, but retain the ability to run "side by side" with Android, instead of in a chroot. This app is perfect for that need. I have Ubuntu 12.04 apps co-existing happily with the rest of the Android filesystem.
★★☆☆☆ Poor documentation - Low usability One has to get serious, the more I look into the usability of this app the worse it gets. Usability is the level of consideration towards the user, the average user that is and not a specialist. The problem is it's lack of documentation. And if there is some guide it jumps from layman to expert level hence and back that makes you wonder who the developer is really addressing. There's no way to learn anything from it, absolutely nothing. Despite the number of times I suggested a more didactic way of documenting this app the developer seems to ignore it. At least from here...Google Play. If you follow EXACTLY what's on the video clip you may get lucky but once something stops the show you'd better email the developer. Meanwhile get your finger ready above the video pause since things go VERY FAST. And once you succeeded and exited and want to re-enter and play with debian again the next day YOU'RE STUCK because there's absolutely nothing to help you re-enter the debian orbit. So it's an app for a (pretentious) elite. Sad.
★★☆☆☆ bad links The bootdeb file is not where step 1 hyperlink sends you to. Thus, cannot get passed step 1. I guess the creator let his file hosting subscription expire. Amature.
★★☆☆☆ Armhf Would you kindly add armhf option for Debian?
★★☆☆☆ Already failed at first hurdle Where to begin? The symlink for the command deb was never created, trying to install the andromizer-lxde, it created a huge spawn of problems, ones which prevented a rooted system permission to fix. Lastly, when trying to uninstall Debian, I was unable to perform any deb arguments, instead, I was returned to the deb shell, which forced me to reboot my system, just to remove Debian. Debian is an amazing OS, but this app is not worth the effort.
