I have been trying for a few weeks to install kali linux on my lg g3. So far with no luck I have tried every guide on the internet but all have failed me can someone give me a detailed walkthrough on how to do so? my sd card is formatted and partitioned to fat32. I wish to install kali to the second 14 gig partition I made and named ext2. my phone is rooted with busy box installed it is the lg g3 S990 runing stock rom 5.0.1
anyone have any experience with this?

I don't think that you can..... They don't offical support it and there is a lot of things you have to take into effect. For example kernel, arm version, and hardware, wifi chips, touch screen drivers and a WHOLE LOT MORE!.

What would you suggest then? I'm debating getting a nexus 7 and installing nethunter on it would that be better??? I've been able to get quite close to having it work

GOOD NEWS (maybe)

I am able to get kali running through the complete linux installer app BUT it appears to be missing all pentesting tools and has no gui because vnc viewer wont connect but it does at least behave the way the app makers say it should :/

Well, that's a start...

You can try opening a terminal and running: sudo apt-get install aircrack-ng

So after many weeks of working day and night I finally have time to sit and tinker will post updates in the coming days
Have you just looked into installing it onto like raspberry pi or a Chromebook or something? It seems pretty easy..... Plusnit might work better then the phone.

Just install gnome fallback or something....

Or open a terminal and try running "startx"

Just run it I have a pwn box for mobile hacking so I can bluesnarf and do alot of fun things. I'm doing freelance pin testing so I thought it would be nice to be able to do those things on my phone without having to lug my laptop out

OK, cool

Then I guess the nexus 7 is your best guest unless you get something like a Samsung S2 and put it in monitor mode and use aircrack-ng. Also the raspberry pi thing is pretty good if your like pretty handy you can wire up a battery, pi, and screen then just use a wireless keyboard.

Ruston, La
You can install kali linux on linux deploy and run with android VNC

I am running with linux deploy it on my AT&T 3g.

Im pretty sure your problem is in your configuration on preferences. Generally the SD is formatted to FAT which has maximum image file size 4095 MB. So pretty much if you want kali tools then hypothetically you could reformat your SD or external to ext4. There is also a permissions problem because of the image location. Here's how I got around it for now, I just started altering this phone 2 days ago so I'll keep you updated if you want. I moved the environment location to a folder in SD and it has consistently held up to 6000MB which is plenty for the os, necessary additions and a few fun kali tools.

Here's my mini pictorial, it's only my second post so maybe this will help.
Just do the settings like mine, Wait forever while it installs then after it finishes hit reconfigure. It takes a couple of minutes to reconfigure then you press start and wait until it's finished loading, press your home button, open VNC, make sure your port is 5900 and default password is "change me"

Open up a terminal and type "sudo su" make a password, update and make sure you have fun.

When you're finished go back to linux deploy, press stop and then use the menu button to exit the app
