So, my trusty Chromebook Flip has reached it's end of life and hasn't received updated for months... what next?
Ideally, i'd like to replace the OS with Gallium or Cloudready or any of the managed ports but would also be interested in making it a Linux onlly machine.
I've removd the write protection screw from the motherboard and enabled developer mode but am now a bit lost as to what to do next. I got as far as trying to run mrchromebox.tech/firmware-util only to receive the message that ARM devices aren't supported. Eeek! Is there an ARM supported means of flashing a fresh BIOS which allows booting a new OS?
If anyone has repurposed a C100P after end of life i'd love to hear what stable OS alternatives are available for the flip - ideally ones that can be run from boot.

I gave up waiting and sold it for £70 on eBay. It's Pixelbook Go replacement was chosen primarily for its long life of updates. Shame, I did love everything about the Flip.
The answer you're looking for is PrawnOS: https://github.com/SolidHal/PrawnOS
It is based on Debian 11 and works well on the ASUS C100P. (It also works with the ASUS C201.)
It is the most up-to-date version of Linux (Gallium is not updated since 2019) for the C100P.
I personally use it with the XFCE Desktop, but if you like the interface of ChromeOS, go with Gnome.
In the open issues, it can have a problem to boot if you use encryption while installing on SD card.
I installed it on the eMMC, which flushes away ChromeOS (which gives you more space, I have something like 11,50 Gb free after initial install, on a total 16 Gb capacity !).
Go with the armhf image, since the C100P has an ARM Cortex A17, which is a 32 bits, 4/4, 1, 80 GHz processor.
This image is Libre, so it is not blobby out-of-the-box. (More on that on the Github page.)
I had to buy myself an Atheros 9271 WiFi dongle to use WiFi (monitor and injection mode included ), and I also bought an Ethernet-to-USB adaptor.
Bluethoot will not work without a dongle, too.
It's a systemd distro, but, hey, it's still better than ChromeOS !
For pentesters out there: installing the complete Wifite dependencies made my installation crash a couple of times ( I cannot boot again after it) , so it's better to avoid it.
I had no problems with aircrack-ng/airodump-ng nor with mdk4.
Something I didn't considered when writing this comment: there is NO REPOSITORY for security upgrades in PrawnOS !
I will give away or sell my C100P, or maybe just turn it into a media player for Kodi.
But it's kinda sad that a great Github project like this lacks security upgrades.
Maybe it's the wake up call to get away from Chromebooks and other devices that are built to end in the trash bin :/

Alright Being a Linux Nut, though not a programmer by any means, I believe I had mistakenly read that The Prime could have Ubuntu either install over writing Android and/or dual booting both and had run out and bought one as this would make my day,
Now to my dread I believe i was reading about the original Transformer and not the prime as this device is still bootloader locked, as a long search I have found nothing conclusive, could a dev or mod please give me the single one shot answer?
and how about the likely hood of that dual boot being ported to the prime upon bootloader being crack/unlocked?
Thank you
unix on TP201
It will come but only when the bootloader it released. at this current moment we cannot play with the boot sectors or load custom roms when this comes (sometime in Feb) you will see more on the dev forum

Haha I am with you on that! Only reason I bought mine was to dual boot Linux. It will happen. Meanwhile I am experimenting making arm images and using the vnc as a stop gap.

yea, it will happen.
Most kernel support should be straight forward, and if a compatible kernel is used as a base, even the tuxera modules (for ntfs and exfat) should be loadable.
One thing that will be needed to get the "prime" performance tho will be at the mercy of nvidia.
We'll need an X server driver out for tegra3 devices. I'm holding out hope that "netbooks" using the tegra3 will drive this ... friggin closed source crap
Having their driver also allow mirroring out to HDMI is also a big deal for me.
I personally am looking at ensuring a good "touch" experience (and also possibly utilizing the maxStylus), as well as getting a ps3 move controller to control it as a mythTV frontend
Thanks for the heads up, I guess I'll wait till feb to see if it comes to light or not, Glad to see I'm not the only one who bought this for linux through
The new Plasma Active UI from the KDE guys looks like it might be nice on a tablet such as the Prime. http://plasma-active.org/
Yes it does, though I'm a fan of Gnome, and a disposer of unity.. Unity its self is also supposed to be for tablets as well, choice choice and all in the Linux direction
There has been some discussion, but none since the Consumer Preview came out about being able to get Windows on a tablet such as the Gtab which is a Tegra2 chipset.
Does anybody know if it is even possible to get Windows on the Gtab at any point without a specific bootloader for it? With Android being more open than Windows we can tinker and change it far more than we ever will with Windows so I am not so much as asking if it is being done as much as I am asking if it can be done. And then if so if anybody is even looking at doing it. I would love to take a Consumer Preview copy and try to install it on my Gtab just to see if it would work but I don't know enough about tablet technology to even start, desktop on the other hand I'll get working, but not with a tablet.
So after all this, if anybody is willing to assist in trying this I am will to test it out. I have 2 Gtabs and I am willing to put one up for testing, but I want to do the testing so I can learn if anybody is will to teach.
IMO Never

gTab doesn't come close to meeting the min hardware specs that Microsoft has published for Win8 tablets (screen res, hardware buttons, storage space, UEFI support, Bluetooth 4.0, 720P camera, magnetometer & gyro, etc). It is doubtful that any modern Windows version will ever run in the 512M of memory the gTab has. In addition, MS has also said that Win8 Tablet will be tied to hardware (you won't be able to go to your local PC store & pick up a copy to install on any old tablet). The vendors will tie Win8 to their specific hardware & that is the only way you will be able to get it.
FYI, the Win8 tabs that were given out at BUILD had an Intel core i5 processor, 4G ram, 64G SSD, 1366x768 display, Wireless N, & 3G.
With android, devs have access to os source code that helps them to be able to modify android to the varying hardware. In the case of Win8, I don't believe you will ever see MS release source code which would make the task of porting to an unsupported devices next to impossible. Just my 2 cents.

For now this post is primarily a feeler to see if there are any other developers that want to work on dual booting Android and a Linux distribution. My Nexus 10 has shipped but has not yet arrived so I've not done any work on it yet.
The Samsung Chromebook is able to run Ubuntu without issues and it has the same SoC. Hopefully, the Nexus 10 kernel will be similar and can easily use the Linux GPU blobs without a lot of work.
http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=samsung_chrome_a15&num=1
The Nexus 10's fast CPU in combination with a keyboard case should result in a relatively good experience when running a traditional Linux distribution with KDE Plasma Active or the like.
I'm sure its possible to run as a chroot, and vnc in, but if I could actually use the accelerated GPU, I'd hook up a mouse and keyboard with OTG, it'd be a high res laptop replacement.

What are you thinking for multiboot control, moboot?

Chroot isn't really what I'm wanting either. Hoping to eventually get close to or full hardware support natively.

Probably not moboot. LittleKernel was used as a base for moboot which has only really been used on Qualcomm architectures. This, of course, made it perfectly suited for us to use on the HP TouchPad. I'm not sure it would be worth the work required to port it to the Nexus 10.
That said, I don't think a multi booting bootloader is something we need to worry about right now. We can work with simply fastboot to load a different kernel and ramdisk while we work on native Linux. The bootloader can be worked on later after we get a better idea of what we are up against.

(1) Thanks for the initative! I'm still enjoying your work with the Nook Color, and I really look forward to a native port of ubuntu on the N10.
(2) I'm not a developer but I would be delighted to help out with testing etc.
(3) I know that development has yet to begin, but do you envison being able to use N10 both (ie. some sort of dualboot?) as an android device and as a light laptop -- latex, light C coding? And if so, would 16g be enough or would it need 32g to be useable (as opposed to just playing around....)? I'm to order the N10 and I have a limited budget; your advice on this is most appreciative.
Thanks!

In terms of space, Windows 8 requirements on ARM is the same 4 - 5 GB.
It is interesting that Exynos 5 dual core supports Direct X11 which indicates it was designed to also target Windows.

I just chroot-installed lubuntu 12.04 on my N10, using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1585009 This is just for curiosity's sake, to see what ubuntu is like on the N10, both in terms of usage/GUI and in terms of performance (knowing full well that performance will take a big hit under chroot/VNC). Here my little report, in case it would be of use as a reference for developing/running linux natively on the N10.
In short: lubuntu is almost usable. Graphics is sluggish (as expected?); as you move xterm across the screen you actually see a series of rectangles and it takes a few seconds for the DE to clean it up. Once you're inside the xterm then the system seems fairly responsive. I was able to apt-get install latex and libreoffice (!) and both work. Curiously scp does not work (ssh does) and I didn't spend much time investigating scp. I can't install dropbox.
I set the resolution of the VNC viewer to be 2560x1500 (leaving room for the android buttons). That was a mistake; menu/window frames/scroll bars etc are TINY. I should have used a smaller resolution and then pinch-zoom. Suggestion for developer: Make everything bigger.
According to top, just running the VNC viewer takes 110-120% of the CPU. That means if we can run linux naively we should expect much better performance.
Finally, I installed "System Profiler & Benchmark". Here's the output of the benchmark for the N10 vs that of an N270 atom netbook with 1G of ram and my Quad Core Q9400 @ 2.66GHz (for all benchmarks below except for cryptohash: a smaller number is better):

I would love to see a Linux distribution running on the Nexus 10.
My preferred one is Mer and the user interface of my choice is Plasma Active (this would later allow a port of Sailfish OS, if a tablet UI gets available).

I've got a Debian chroot running on mine until we get a proper dual-boot solution using a slightly modified from of this script: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1328742
Running LXDE, its definitely usable for text heavy stuff like office. While the visuals would be a little muddy, I'd recommend running at 1280x752. That's a perfect fit while leaving room for the buttons, and things are large enough that you could realistically use it. If you wanted to run at full res, use 2560x1504.
If you're using a bluetooth mouse with yours, I highly recommend using Jump Desktop as your VNC viewer. Its the only one I know of that supports right clicks. The only drawback is you cant run it at full resolution unless you lower the color depth, it crashes immediately otherwise.
I would love to see this happen!
I'm taking my first programming classes this semester, and I'd love to see Ubuntu come to the N10. That would be pretty dang sweet. :cyclops:
I can't see any framebuffer output (enabled VT and FB in .config) and I really don't know why.. Nothing suspicious in /proc/last_kmsg after reboot (it just hangs at some point, watchdog reboots)

Hello Guys,
I have bought a Dell Latitude t02g Table. The specs looks great - Windows 7 Pro - 1.5ghz atom processor, 2 GB Ram, 64GB SSD.
I think the specs are great but its just too damn sluggish when i run facebook or any flash games on it. very unresponsive on normal browsing.
I think this tablet can be great on Google Android x86 platform but After doing a lot of research - I see that people have installed LUBUNTU on it or windows 8 on it and are in a compromised situation. Where Windows 8 has blue screens and etc and moving on Lubuntu, has limited the functionality of he hardware graphics and rotations.
So much money paid for a device that promises a lot and so much disappointment .
I just wish if we could have a forum for this device where the XDA Team can make something super for this device - maybe an android port over that fully works and makes teh tablet smooth like other tablets.
Do you think there is something already out there that has fixed the tablet and makes it shine like a star as advertised? or will there be further enhancements on this and i can wait for it?
Or should i just sell it off for literally peanuts and forget about it
Any help/ hints would be great.
Thanks
AJ

There's a fork of android for x86 architecture (http://www.android-x86.org/ ). Some year or two ago I tried few of provided builds but with mixed success. The issues is that bundled drivers are either generic and performance is bad, or different builds have different modules working ( like WiFi but no sound or sound but no WiFi)
It's not that difficult to get two kernel .config files from two most "working" builds and merge them together and build a new kernel, but the process itself is very time consuming (you have to compare files option by option manually, automerge is not an option in this case)
Builds were tegav2, asus_laptop and eeepc
Looks like http://www.android-x86.org/ project moved quite far since that time so maybe you want to give it a try. It's rather brick-safe and you can always go back to Windows/Linux.
Speaking of which, right now my ST has Win10 installed, but performance is bad. I'm thinking of installing clean ubuntu (from Minimal CD) with i3 WM to get maximum out of that hardware. On other laptop with similar specs such setup looks very promising
Fully installed GalliuomOS from USB boot on Samsung Chromebook 3 XE500C13-K01US. Enable dev mode, enable usb boot, enable seabios, boot from usb and install from iso. Use galliumos amd64 from official download link from website. I also used a rooted phone with "drivedroid" to mount the iso into my usb port. Then i installed virtualbox over apt-get and installed windows xp 64 bit. its awesome. fully functional and not one problem encounter. best part is using full bluetooth capabilities and cloning display through HDMI. I dont miss chromeos at all. :good: :laugh:

I think GalliumOS is Linux. Xfce-panel 4.12.0 shows up on the "about." I tried the crouton and just wasn't working well. Tons of complicated issues with permissions. And slow. So I just found a solution on Google. I got about half my internal 16gb to play with GalliumOS installed. Then I got 32gb on my SD card. It's funny why Google would make a fairly powerful device to run Android? I paid $400 for a 512mb ram machine when I was 13, and I paid $20 for this Chromebook, which has 2gb of ram lol. If Google partnered up with Linux like Skype did with microsoft, they could have a intense competition. Google could stock there machines with Linux and would probably over take Microsoft on the low priced market. Of course Microsoft has the good stuff but it's expensive.

Yup Chromebook 1 not supported according to the compatible list. I would try a Ubuntu 32bit (i386) iso. Boot from the iso to remove the stock chromeos which is good because it sucks anyways. I wouldn't try the crouton shell way it just doesn't work very well, complete removal of the stock and new installation is the way to go. After Dev mode enable and USB mode enable with commands, there is one other command that downloads and enable the bios. After that you should be able to boot and install from USB.
