GNU Root in Android
-
I have installed GNU root in my phone for the Debian installation.My inbuilt RAM space is 196 MB only.I have downloaded the GNU wheezy for the installation of Debian in my Celkon A35 Mobile.I was unable to install the GNU wheezy.
Whether can i install the GNU wheezy in offline by the terminal emulator.apk in my phone ?
My Aim:Install Debian OS in my Phone
Present Materials:Celkon Phone a35k,16GB Memory Card,196 MB Built in RAM.Any Possibilities???
-

@NattNatt As checked in the Android forum it is possible to do without rooting phone with the APK file itself

in my experience that will never work fully and can cause a fair few issues...but intrigued to see how it works on that phone...

@NattNatt When I installed the GNU wheezy there is not space in the internal memory of the phone.so unable to extract the same.Now downloaded the file and having terminal emulator but dont know how to extract from command
With the phone only having 196MB RAM it will struggle with most things I expect...No clue sorry.

A phone is not meant to run a full desktop OS, so very few around here will have any experience doing this sort of thing. Personally, I've loaded newer versions of Android onto older phones, but never a full desktop OS. Generally if you want a full desktop environment on a phone, you'd use some sort of remote access software to a different system.

Are you following any guides to do this? Would be great if you can share that and let us know where you are stuck.
-
Sounds like he is trying to install a Debian based phone distribution. Maybe something like https://www.ubuntu.com/phone?
As said before, you should share the guides you are following.
BTW: ML is a great community and somewhat Linux centric, but my first stop would be xda-developer for questions and guides in this case.

@Ambarishrh I have done debian.img file from internet and extracted the same in my phone.
I have installed the Complete Linux APK file,then VNC viewer and Terminal Emulator.
I have tried to login to the terminal emulator and tried to install the debian,but debian-8.img,mounts are present i dont know how to install in it?
I have googled the details some commands in android forum but it does not helped me? -

https://fossbytes.com/how-to-install-a-linux-on-android-phone-without-rooting/Just quick scanned the article: you are not installing Linux, but a package manager and a toolchain from a Debian / Gentoo based distro.
Not sure what you want to accomplish by taking this route.

Don't have time to read this one right now, but it looks like a variant of the previous approach.
