Ubuntu on the Incredible - Droid Incredible General

Hey guys, i dont hav much time since im at school P), does anyone know how to run it? ive tried, but i hav not had much success. here are my questions:
1. is KiNgKernel compatible with it? if not, can i use an overclocked hydra kernel? im pretty sure that one will work.
2. am i supposed to run the adb shell with the phone on recovery? or just turned on? because when the phone is in recovery, i am able to run ubuntu.sh, but not rebootubuntu, and when i have the phone turned on, neither works!
i really want to install it so that i can rub it in some iPhone users face! please help!

First of all, in all caps at the top of this section of the forum it clearly states "No Q&A in development"
Secondly, kingkernel is compatible with all SENSE roms. Seeing as ubuntu isn't installed as a rom or a default OS for the android platform it's really not "compatible". For ubuntu to be running on your phone, it's run through another app after you've already booted into a rom (Skyraider, Stock 2.1, Leaked 2.2, CM6, etc...) I can't remember off the top of my head how it runs but please use the search button. I know there's already a thread with hundreds of posts with the information you're looking for.

It runs with a kernel that supports "loop back devices".
If i were you, i would just flash the cm6 boot.img onto whatever Rom yu are using

Huh? Yes, running ubuntu requires loop-back support.....buy why would you suggest that he flash the cm6 boot.img? I'd love to hear your reasoning behind this....
FYI, I'm the guy who compiled the very first kernel for running ubuntu on 2.1 stock roms - obsolete now that Hydra Kernels, KingKlick's Kernel, and I believe the SkyRaider kernel all support loop-back. I can't imagine the benefit (or horrible side effects for that matter) that would come as a result of flashing a cm6 boot.img to a sense rom......
Also just a note to those of you who are interested in running ubuntu on your incredible: any and all apps need to be compled for the ARM processor in your phone. There is NO flash support, so no hulu, no flash sites, no aircrack-ng. Yes it will run, but it's nothing fancy. I never did end up seeing enough benefits to continue using it on my incredible.

android 2.3 hacked evo rom on a dhd

I noticed that the guys in the evo section have a dev/test only 2.3 rom compiled from reverse engineering off the 2.3 sdk. They have already got most of the functions to work, all a bit buggy but cool all the same. I was wondering if I were to flash a evo rom onto my DHD and it didnt work would I still be able to use clockworkmod and reflash my nand backup off sc card?
Or am I just crazy to even think of trying?

I also noticed while rooting/updating my mates Sony Ericsson X10 that there is a sdk dump of 2.3 available. Doesnt really work but still nice to check it out
Anyone willing to do a sdk dump or point me in the direction of how to do it
Ok i attempted to flash the evo 2.3 rom on my DHD.
Didnt work, guess it is because wrong kernal.
Am I the only person who would like to see a skd port of 2.3?
Just to check out, obviously would not run well enough to use as daily rom.
If any1 can point me in the right direction I would love to learn how to port/compile over from a sdk.
I'm as eager as you are! I want a tasty gingerbread
But i'd suggest you wait until a rom is released SPECIFICALLY for your phone...jumping ahead can result in great losses...i'm sure you don't want a £450 paperweight
And trust me, time will fly, before you know it some smart XDA Chef will have released an optimised rom just for our shiny Desire HDs!

i am rooted now what

i rooted my evo with no problem and now i dont know what to do next gingerbread, honeycomb, icecream where do i start?
If you want to try AOSP, I'd recommend CM7. But start there...in the development section is all the roms, go take a gander. There are some gingersense rom [sense 3.0] if you like sense.

Start by googling:
You will need Rom Manager, Titanium Backup, Kernel Manager...
Rooted apps Wireless Tether for root users, cache mate, bunch of other stuff...
Cyanogen 7 is an awesome AOSP rom which really helps with battery life and performance and is very slick.
Before you even begin playing with all this stuff remember to do a nandroid backup. You can use Rom Manager to do this.
nandroid = backup security. don't flash something without it.
start with stable ROMs to get the hang of it. I would not head straight for the Kindom sense 3.0 ROM out the gate, for instance, or you'll be like "wtf, did I do something wrong?"
In the world of Evo, there are two kinds of people. AOSP, and Sense. Most people after using different flavors of the two settle into one line they like, and even though they may flash out of line from time to time, they end up back in base camp. so flash at least one stable full featured AOSP and Sense ROM, use each for a couple of days, and develop your taste. That'll help you narrow your choices a bit more in the future.
also, the little search button in the threads is your friend. by the postings I see lately, you would think it doesn't exist. don't be that guy.
happy flashing

I say NO to ROM Manager and Kernel Manager.
Stop being lazy, noobs, and start flashing in Recovery, like you're supposed to.
Or read about how many problems people just on here have reported having after using one of those apps.

I'd recommend Kernel Manager just to download and search for kernels. Then flash them manually through recovery after wiping cache/dalvik.

OP... seriously...you need to stop.. and do more reading before you move forward. your post suggests that you aint got a clue.. yet. but you are headed in the right direction.
I finally rooted about a month or so ago, downloaded Rom Manager and Titanium backup with Busybox and such and made a nandroid backup of my original rooted configuration. Been very useful as I keep coming back to it. Haven't had any issues using the root apps. Tried both CM7 and MIUI and they both have some cool features.

Install taboony 2.2 rom and richards 3.7 kernel. Look in the development section and youll find both there.
Im pretty sure ive seen the market issue around but i never read up on it, just use the search funtion. But the rom and kernel i suggested is faster than what you currently have.
Try this guy, he seems to update his ROMs. VirtuPicasso is discontinued now, no more updates. So stick with the living guys

I'm a bigger noob than u are, so I've some question for u; which I'm afraid to ask the senior members for they might get mad for asking them stupid nooby questions; since you u recently learned these tricks u must be very excited to answer my questions.
Q1 Why and how would I flash custom rom to my a500?
Q2 If I constantly flash rom to my device would it harm my device in any way?

Personally i would recommend the Rooted Stock 3.2. I played with few ROMs. And came to conclusion almost all ROMs have some sort issues. Nothing major just different minor ones.
But that Rooted Stock 3.2 is one of the best so far IMO. No issues with any thing runs smoothly/flawlessly. I am using it with Thor Kernel 3.7.

Dude dont worry about asking nooby question, we were all noob once, hell i still am lol. As long you are being respectful and not bashing on the OS for no reason, no one will mind helping or answering your question. Any way back to your questions
Since you new just a heads up. Dont do OTA 3.2 update, or you will have to downgrade and then Root the device.
A1. I am going to assume you have Rooted Device. Why you flash ROM: Well different ROM comes with different app, and may be some added support to hard wares you want, that your stock dont have. Also they have fix for some problems that the stock has, higher efficiency too may be... you get the point.
How you Flash ROM Video Tutorial to give you general idea: Once you have CWM installed, you just get what ever ROM you like to try, put that in SD card. Go in CWM menu, do the necessary wipes of appropriate section. Then install the ROM from SD.
WHAT EVER ROM YOU DECIDE TO USE, JUST READ EVERY THING CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU DIVE IN IT
As for flashing ROM constantly, it will not harm your device, least not that i am aware off. Just as long as you follow proper instructions. Its just like installing windows on PC over and over...

Custom ROM

Hi there,
A friend of mine owns this phone, and although he likes it, the software is pretty bad because of the service provider software.
I have a NExus S and i have already made root to it, so i was thinking in doing the same to his phone.
I have saw this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1224747
And i intend to follow it, but wouldn't it be better to instal something like 2.3?
Thank you for your help.

Yup, 2.3 is running stable on GT540, your friend can pick his choice, currently Miroslav's SDSL and AOSP are overall most complete out there. SDSL is CM7 by the way. Also there are various soft mods, so pick what you like.

Thanks for the fast answer.
So, i have to follow the guide i provided, and instead of installing the 2.1 rom, i installed one of the 2 you provided?
So, witch of the two you think its better? My fried prefers stability and speed over customization.
Sorry my ignorance, but it is a softmode?
Thanks.

You first have to upgrade to 2.1 with fastboot in order to flash recovery as described in these two guides
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1042639
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1224747
chose whichever you consider easier.
Unlike Nexus S, when you boot in GT540's fastboot mode you will see only black screen, nothing else, so don't be scared.
Also leoposas has tool to automate ADB and fastboot commands
Then when you have working recovery you can choose any ROM you like and install it through recovery.
You can use latest CWM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1815189
or any other you recovery you like but make sure it supports Edify scripting (CWM version above 2.5.1.8, and other newer recoverys).
For speed and stability AOSP is excellent choice but SDSL is also pretty fast and stable.
Softmod is a modded ROM, that hasn't been built from source but modded after compiling usually with themes, scripts, tweaks, apps etc. For example someone uses some base ROM (CM7, AOSP, stock) and mods it. That's a rough explanation of softmod.

[Q] Nexus 7 stuck in boot after ELITE kernel JZO54

Hello! I created a new xda account with my new gmail account, anyways, I used to have a verizon fascinate and am no stranger to device tampering. My name is Gabriel and am a huge fun of the nexus 7! anyways, so i flashed over Clemsyn1.5extremeUndervoltedFINAL.zip using google nexus 7 tookit and twrp recovery. I received an OTA update getting me to JZO54 a while back and i think this is my issue. After the flash, it went to boot up and was stuck at the x screen the whole 8 hours i was asleep! i would very much like this kernel to work because im tired of choppy framerates! If someone has been in this situtation and has a kernel suggestion and maybe "how to" guidance. Im in the team win recovery project ready to flash kernel but i dont know how to install a zip that isnt already in my internal storage! this is where im stuck. I also would like an overclocked 1.5 cpu/gpu to 600 kernel if possible, thats what the original one i had tried to flash was. Please help me install another kernel and let me know where to get this kernel and links would be appreciated!!! i know this is a great community and hope to hear from someone today or soon
Welcome! Clemsyn's kernel currently doesn't work with Android 4.1.2, only 4.1.1 you need to flash another kernel.

Clemsyn's kernel was updated a few days ago to work with 4.1.2, and I can verify that it works very well. I believe he started a new thread that has a link for the new kernel.

ha, now now no need to be rude here. I was stating that it was frustrating that people seemed to have over looked my main question and was simply emphasizing, my apologies if its a pet peeve of yours. I figure you must be some sort of wiz Metallice, and i appreciate your help! I have a program ive been using to root called nexus 7 toolkit. I looked around and found this ( Flashable kernel from 4.1.2 JZO54K http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12008411/ker...per-jzo54k.zip ) which is the stock kernel it states atleast, and this.. ( ClemsynELITEBatterySaverStock.zip ) which is a battery saving kernel. Im sure you know this, but I was looking to overclock my device to hopefully 1.5 ghz with a 600mhz gpu. It might be asking a bit much, but was hoping someone would be able to walk me through pushing the zip using the nexus 7 toolkit and finding a overclock kernel to flash over. This is what im having problems doing because i am quite new to the nexus 7 and the programs used! only way to be good at something is to learn, please teach me so I can stop asking dumb questions and hopefully help someone in the future!

Hi,
Got a new nexus 7, unlocked it and rooted it. Love it
Nexus 7: Version 4.2.1
Kernel Version: 3.1.10-g22b4fcd
Paranoid Android Version: 2.99
Build Number: Pa_grouper-userdebug 4.2.1 JOP40D
I found that when i scrolled down through web pages the browser was very glitchy, overall i found the processor to not quiet have that umph for smooth operations i expected.
So i decided to flash it with the "Elite Kernel" . System just got stuck in boot.
Not sure whether this kernel is suitable for the Rom installed!
Any advice in overclocking this device is much appreciated.
Cheers
Don't think elite works with 4.2 yet. Try the latest trinity kernel, it is working well for me.
