Ok so I am in the process of building my own android rom. I have built the system.ext2 file using nexus one 2.16.17001 base image. I then ran the build on my HD2 was able to get it to fully boot!
It seems to run really fast, but my first issue is I can not get network to connect, it simply does not recognise the sim card.
I know there are drivers I need to download and update the build with but I am unsure what I need to download and were to get them from.
If anybody could help me it would be great. I am very close to getting a working build!
Can anybody help with this?

I've been trying to figure this out myself. I'm still working on it. I was able to get in the new radio - FRG33 built into the ROM, but that's about it so far.
Can you do me a huge favor? Don't suppose you can tell me - in a PM or otherwise - what steps you took to get it to boot as far as you did? I think if I can fiddle around with that I might be able to get the rest working.
Thanks!
Hatelfy I have sent you a PM as requested.
As Hatelfy suggests I think I need to extract the radio.img file and add the contents into my rom but I cant figure out how to extract the file. Does anybody have any ides?
I have tried mounting the file in ubuntu but it simply does not recognise the file type.
Don't know if it'd work but could you not use something like iso buster and extract raw data? Saying that I searched the other day "nbh extract" and there's a program on here somewhere that'll dump the contents into a folder if that's what you're after!?!?
Im not even sure if im on the right track. Everything on my build is working perfectly. Except the data. I cant get it to see the sim card. I am not sure what I have to update to get it to go on to the network.
Any ides?

OK, well how I did it was like this. Not sure if it's the right way of doing it, but the system didn't error and was perfectly happy doing it sooo..
Using a standard Android kitchen, I just downloaded the contents of the FRG33 Radio rom into the root of my working folder. After I was done tinkering with various aspects of my ROM I gave it the command to build from the working folder.
I guess what it does is looks for a radio from root and it incorporates everything on fly. (at least that's what the status messages said it did...)
Once I had my custom rom built I used Coffeeshop to make the system image. After that, I had no idea. I'm not even sure if I was supposed to incorporate anything to the build or not module wise.
When I get back home from work today i'll try out the info you gave me and get back to you and let you know if worked or not.
Hey man Can you PM me on what kitchen you used? I only know of the coffee shop?
Yep sure thing.
Just a quick question, probably just a setting, but I used to be able to download roms on my phone off here...but now the phone won't let me? Says unsupported file can't download? Any ideas? Using dk28 kernel with epic experience 2.0.03. Thanks!
Settings
There is a setting in astro file manager that will allow browser to download any file type
Thank you!!! I figured it had to be something simple.... Do you know by chance how to disable 270 rotation?
I think i remember in the epic experience rom thread they figured out how to do it .
This is what schizo said but i have cyanogen on my evo again and waiting for a reason to go back to epic , but as i flash gingerbread it may be a little while
Code:
windowsmgr.support_rotation_270=false
So basically I figured if false means "off" then true must mean "on"... simple, I know.
I changed it to this...
Code:
windowsmgr.support_rotation_270=true
And it worked!
Now I wouldn't recommend blindly changing things in your build.prop unless you absolutely know what you are doing since this file can do a lot of damage as well if its not configured right. Also, I would recommend always keeping a backup of your original build.prop file if messing with it so you can always revert back.
So there ya go, 270 rotation.
yeah I knew about that...used to work in eclair but can't seem to find the code anywhere in froyo... Thanks for all your help though
Greets All,
I need some help. I just installed VirtualBox on my system and then installed Ubuntu, the reason is I am trying to uncompress a kernel, fairly old one. Now before anyone asks, I am trying to look for the bluetooth mac address problem, as we all know its still generic. But I found a kernel that its either real or unique, either way it works, but the kernel is incompatable with Nand/zip roms. I tried to go to the dev that made the kernel, and got no response for a month now, so I am trying to see if I can find it and fix it with my limited understanding.
I have done searches for how to do it, and even found commands on google, but for some reason its not spitting out the results as the sites say it should, so I am hoping someone can tell me, or give me step by step instructions on how to decompress this kernel.
All the commands are from terminal mode, and I even had found a script on here that suppose to do it, but I cant get it to run right. So if anyone can help me, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks.
Really? No one can help with this? Does everyone like the generic Bluetooth Mac Address?
I'd really like to know this too
Well if someone would help me with the commands, myabe I can find how to impliment it into a zip/nand kernel and be done with this dumb generic.
Hi guys.
First off i want to say thanks to the guys who have made up these tutorials as its in no way my work.
Theres some great tools available for us now but sometimes just getting an understanding of what to do or where to get the files you need isnt so obvious......so this is why ive done this. Report it for removal if its surplus to requirement etc etc.
What this is - I got frustrated etc when trying to help fix a TF a few days ago. I had never used ADB, never knew how to set it up and always wondered where to type the commands some of the guys on here talk about. Although i had Nv flashed my TF it had been a long time so needless to say i got a bit pissed off with that aswell. So..........ive found the first site i used for NVflash with a video guide & ive found a tutorial on how to set up ADB to make life a little easier.
It also shows what "apx" looks like and how to update the driver, how to access "apx" mode.
Note: the nv flash guide is for sbk1 only but im sure the sbk2 owners will get a better understanding of what files they are meant to be clicking on when required
If any info is wrong or anyone wants to update with different info then please do so...........try and keep the language simple and maybe do a quick guide as it always helps.
NVflash Guide using Roaches Prime Rom (Honeycomb) but you can use the stock I.C.S NVflash files found in the developer section (download.bat or simply "download" as its named)
NVflash tutorial with video and all files required for sbk1
I.c.s stock files here Stock ics / full restore /NO ROOT etc
For Sbk2 - look for the Peri tool or Easy flasher tools and read up on Wheelie (Nvflash tools)
ADB guide as follows although i have to say i havent tried editing the path as mines looks totally different but if someone could confirm that this guide is correct then id appreciate it or if they would like to post up an alternate guide.
Windows ADB install guide
Read all info and be confident before you attempt anything / DO NOT proceed if you are not 100% - Anything you do is at your OWN risk
I now have a stock ics nvflash folder set up on my laptop incase i need to rma and i have the honeycomb nvflash folder set up just incase i want to start over. Apx drivers are in.....so good to go in an emergency.
As for ADB im going to get a little more advice from one of our experienced members before i change anything in the laptop!!
Thanks to Roach, Rayman, Bumblebee and everyone involved in the guides etc etc
If this helped hit the Thanks - if you want to donate then donate to guys that have made the new flashing tools, Roach or another dev - Not Me!
***Yes i see the Root guide thats pinned but felt this would be easier to find when searching the forum titles & now that Nvflash is available for sbk2.***
I've been following the progress on official Ubuntu Touch port to Galaxy Tab 10.1 for a while and today they have updated the wiki for a dedicated session and early build install instructions.
This is an early build, some things work, some things are unknown and wifi is work in progress.
Installation
1. Download the ubuntu preinstalled and the p4wifi specific cyanogenmod image from the unlock instruction section below.
2. Put both zip files onto your sdcard
3. Enter recovery mode and do a wipe data/factory reset
4. Flash in this order:
First the cyanogenmod image (e.g. cm-10.1-20130325-UNOFFICIAL-p4wifi.zip)
Then the ubuntu image (this may take a while)
5. reboot
fix screen pixel ratio (this will become obsolete once the config file is included by default):
1. download p4wifi.conf: http://ubuntuone.com/688wubidavYnvfKvBWV7cY
2. copy p4wifi.conf into /etc/ubuntu-session.d/
3. reboot
Unlocking instructions
link to images
1. Ubuntu stuff:
Current: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-to...urrent/quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip
2. CyanogenMod image:
Current: http://ubuntuone.com/6V0ZxZ8cqB2AGcF8nImrDV
*Note: I am not involved with the development and I do not own this project, for more details please go to the link below.

Thanks, friend! I'm gonna test it soon :good:
AW: Official Ubuntu Touch for Galaxy Tab 10.1 is here!
I tried it. Installation worked fine and the first start (reboot after install) also went fine. Can't test more things than boot up right now - no time so far. I'll have a look this evening.
But why are there already users exsisting an how do i log in?

They say it's a test-only version and you can only log in to guest account...
and if you read the ubuntu-part file's name it is "quantal-PREINSTALLED", which means it is an installed image of Ubuntu that was tested on some previous devices by Ubuntu devs...
it's my thought, though...
AW: Official Ubuntu Touch for Galaxy Tab 10.1 is here!
Yes. It's a tech demo. But it already looks nice. I hope development goes on quickly.

Wifi not working after returning image back to Cyanogenmod
I followed your instructions and got Ubuntu touch working. After playing around with it for a while I decided to go back to my Cyanogenmod rom. For some reason now I cannot turn on the wifi. It is the same image that was working before. Can you offer some advice or assistance?
Thanks
Can someone make a video of this running? I want to do it myself but can't find the 10.1's charger

I've installed it with no problems, just followed the instructions in the first post...
I'm now attempting to get screen pixel ratio fixed and wifi running, and then will upload a video to youtube (probably in the next few hours)
Sorry, but I just can't find etc\ubuntu-session.d\ and can't make a persistent local directory in /data/ ...
If anyone can help me with these problems, please tell me...
(I chmodded the userinit.sh file for wifi and tried to fix the screen pixel ratio, but couldn't find or create the directories to put them)...
I'll upload a video anyway...

Not sure why you're having this problem. Maybe try format everything before flashing back or use a nand backup if you have one?
I think we must put the p4wifi.conf into ubuntu-session.d folder in the quantal before we install the image, right?
The proof I can provide is that there are folders named ubuntu-session.d and data in the quantal, but they're extracted to somewhere else during installation...
Video coming soon...

My memory is a bit vague on this, but I think it's in the /ubuntu folder, as well as the rest of the filesystem. It confused the hell out of me when I had it on my Sensation, it seemed like there was an entire filesystem at the root of the storage, then another inside /ubuntu where everything seemed to be.
You could use the search in Nautilus to find it as well, just make sure it's searching all subdirectories
I had a problem adding the p4wifi.conf file to /etc/ubuntu-session.d/ folder. This is how I solved it.
My problem basically was that when using adb shell to access the device I was inside the android system. And you need to get inside the ubuntu-system.
My way to get shell access to the ubuntu-system was the following:
>adb root
>adb shell
You should now see something similar to [email protected]:/ #
Then enter:
>ubuntu_chroot shell
You should now see something similar to [email protected]:/#
You are now in the ubuntu-system.
to get the p4wifi.conf file into /etc/ubuntu-session.d I did the following:
>cd /etc/ubuntu-session.d
>echo -e "GRID_UNIT_PX=10\nQTWEBKIT_DPR=2.0\nFORM_FACTOR=\"tablet\"" | sudo tee p4wifi.conf
For some reason there is a space between " and tablet. This space should be removed! It seems as if the forum adds it when rendering my post.
Now for the changes to take effect you will need to reboot your device. You can do that by writing the following
>reboot
I hope this helped someone that just as me struggled to get the pixel-ratio fix applied to the system.
Thanks, my friend.
I'm gonna try this and then will upload a video...
if we can find the way to fix WiFi according to this post:

it will be awesome!
thanks again

Yeah I read about this post too, I'm a bit busy this week but maybe I'll try it out this weekend.
I finally fixed screen pixel ratio by flashing the .zip package linked in post 15 in this thread ... simply adb push it and flash using CWM (ubuntu won't erase CWM after being flashed)...
I'm now going to fix WiFi to upload a video that's worth seeing ...

I have tried this but no success Please share if anyone solves the wifi-issue.
---------- Post added at 03:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:33 PM ----------
Does iwlist work for anyone? For me it dosen't even recognise the command.
does 3G work on this?
3G doesn't work yet, but I'm testing the OS on my galaxy tab 3G
yeah, I too have tried putting userinit.sh file in /data/loca/ with no success... but note that you must put the file using ubuntu_chroot shell... did you try that?
maybe we can put the commands in afterflash-p4.zip and then flash it, like the way we solved the screen pixel ratio issue...
inform us if this method worked for you
