Install Arch on devices like Smartphones..?

Postby sirbender » Thu Nov 13, 2014 2:36 pm

Hi,

I have a Snapdragon800, 2GB RAM Smartphone with a cracked screen. Works perfectly though - just the touch doesn't work properly anymore.

I would like to install a proper Linux desktop on this device. Can I natively install Arch on this device?

If somebody ported U-Boot to it and you can recompile kernel with support for systemd, then yes you can. Otherwise buy a new screen on ebay and use it with android. ;)
