              if you can't root the phone, then you're not going to have much luck, it'll be locked the the OS that it came with...

                @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...

                      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.

                                      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.
