On-device chroot

Ref: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot

All this done on the device in $HOME.

Preparation
sagy debootstrap

Create a chroot
sudo debootstrap vivid $HOME/vivid-chroot
sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list $HOME/vivid-chroot/etc/apt/sources.list
sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list.d/extra-ppas.list $HOME/vivid-chroot/etc/apt/sources.list.d


At the end of this paste is a script. Paste the contents into "ch" script in your $HOME.

Enter chroot:
sudo ./ch -r vivid-chroot/
apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys ECF1204C
sagu
sagy language-pack-en
usermod -G sudo phablet
passwd phablet    <- set a password for the user, so user can sudo

The -r switch to "ch" enters as root user.

You can do what you like in here, and not use up disk space of the root partition of the phone.


"ch" script:

#!/bin/bash

usage() {
  [ -n "$2" ] && ( echo $2; echo )
  echo "Usage:"
  echo "  sudo $0 [OPTIONS] CHROOT_PATH"
  echo
  echo "  Options:"
  echo "    -h|--help  displays this help message"
  echo "    -r|--root  chroot as root, not current user"
  exit $1
}

ARGS=$(getopt -o r,h --long "root,help" -n "$0" -- "$@");

if [ $? -ne 0 ];
then
  usage 3
fi

eval set -- "$ARGS";

  # make the prompt hint when chrooted
