[LINUX] - How To: UBUNTU on Dell Streak

EDIT: I can't post to XDA due to the fact that i just signed up for an account, but look at fards' copy of my post to see how to install Ubuntu on your Dell Streak

Here's Pats Post on modaco;
although it would be nicer to keep development discussion to just one thread, the more constructive input the better
Hello All,
I'm attempting to natively port Ubuntu and/or Debian to the Streak. With it being such a powerful device there really is no reason it SHOULDN'T be running a “desktop” operating system. However, implementing his is quite a difficult task, so if any and everyone's help would be very much appreciated.
In the mean time, this is my first guide on how to get ubuntu running piggyback on the Dell Streak. After quite a while (and numerous different trials), I have found that this is the easiest way to get Ubuntu Mobile up and running fast. All commands can be done through either ADB shell or the terminal emulator on the phone.
This was *NOT* done entirely by me, but is a culmination of the effort of lots of people in the android community. I just modified it so that it would work on the Streak.
**This Installation DOES NOT install Linux natively, and as such is should not be destructive to your Android system, however i take absolutely no responsibility for anything that happens and you do this COMPLETELY at your own risk**
Here is how to do it:
1) Root your phone. There are plenty of guides on how to do it, so find one and get root access on your phone.
**YOUR PHONE MUST BE ROOTED. THIS WILL NOT WORK WITHOUT IT.**
2) Download Ubuntu Mobile Bundle: http://uploading.com/files/bbm6b311/ubuntu.zip/
This contains an image of the filesystem as well as other necessary scripts to get it working.
2) Busybox - Install Titanium Backup from Android Market - if you press the "Problems" button it will install Busybox on your phone for you (Feel free to uninstall Titanium after this is done). This is the fastest and most pain free way to install busybox on the streak that i know of for now (the other ways of doing this ARE NOT fun...)
3) On your SD card's root directory, create a folder called ubuntu and extract all files in the ubuntu mobile bundle there.
4) Replace the bootubuntu executeable file in the ubuntu directory with mine, found here http://www.mediafire.com/?fi011w4fbmymw3y
5) Unmount phone from computer. ADB and Android Terminal will not work if the phone is mounted.
5) Download a terminal from the Android Market - I used Jack Palevich's Android Terminal Emulator (android market search: terminal) but anything similar should work the same
CODE
Code:
su
cd /sdcard/ubuntu
sh ubuntu.sh
6) Ignore any errors thrown up by ubuntu.sh. From this point, all that is needed to boot ubuntu is just to enter this:
CODE
Code:
bootubuntu
To start ubuntu from now on, this is all you need to do.
You should now have ubuntu working on your laptop, and while it DOES connect to your phone's internet sources, it DOES NOT yet have a graphical interface.
Here is how to add one:
1) Update the system with the following commands in ubuntu:
CODE
Code:
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
The first one updates the package lists, the second one downloads updates to the system itself.
2) Install TightVNC in ubuntu:
CODE
Code:
apt-get install tightvncserver
3) Configure TightVNC:
CODE
Code:
export USER=root
vncserver -geometry 800x480
For security purposes, it is recommended that you assign a password to your VNC server when asked.
4) Download Android VNC Viewer from the market
5) Configure Android VNC Viewer:
Change the port to 5901 and type in your password that you entered before.
Other Problems
There appears to be a bug with the X window server sometimes refusing to connect to VNC. DO NOT change any settings on Android VNC Viewer, instead open a terminal and run the folloring command:
CODE
Code:
rm -R /tmp/.X11-unix
What Does Not Work – Will Try To Fix
Keyboard from Android VNC Viewer
Shutdown – Does Nothing
Reboot
Log Out
Native Install
I hope you guys enjoy this, and I can't wait to get your feedback.

there was a thread about this but it wasnt work on me. now i am downloading and i will inform you again

what is the address for vnc ?

OMG! Could that be any slower on the download?
EDIT:
That sounded totally ungrateful - sorry!
Thank you very much for this

yeah works fine without problems.
it is better from g1 but not as well as a netbook. so only experimental use i think

I connected to the loopback 127.0.0.1 on 5901 and it worked - haven't seen how to connect to it remotely though
Edit:
Reading is fundamental - I can connect to it form another machine
now to fix the keyboard issue

in terminal emulator there is a note : localhost:1 vnc could work properly so i connect with only port and password.

is it possible to install jolicloud since its an ubuntu based system?

Newbie questions, sorry....
Before to try this port, just some maybe stupid questions for you:
- Still working the phone function?
- Is it easy to go back to standard or Steve Streaks Roms?
- Are there lack of drivers for bluetooth, gps, audio, wifi, etc?
Thanks.

No your missing the point here, this isn't an OS separate to android. Think of this as an app it runs on top of the android system. Also this is very experimental most features would be limited and no ubuntu can't be used as an smartphone os -No phone...

1) Ubuntu does not replace android, and the UI only runs in a VNC server, so you can switch back and forth between ubuntu and the phone app (or angry birds?)
2) I installed mine on top of DJ Steve's 1.8.1 rom... It's not native, so it only runs on top of android instead of replacing it
3) Haven't tried audio yet, but it should work (let me know how it goes)... internet connectivity works and provided you have an internet connection enabled in android you can use tools like APT or Firefox in ubuntu... only problem is keyboard is a bit wonky...
For those who had trouble figuring out how to set up the VNC, here is a picture of my VNC configuration on my phone. If you find out the phone's IP address you should even be able to VNC into it from your computer (if your on the same wifi network)

Is anyone actively attempting to get Ubuntu running native?

audio not working
keyboard not working
also lots of lags.

Yes, i'm looking into it, but it's quite an uphill battle in order to get it working. I'll let everyone know when we make some progress.

cause you are running 2 operating systems at the same time
But seriously, if ubuntu can run native (no android in the background) then the lag would be gone, and (if set up right) audio and keyboard would work.

could i recieve phone and uses sms?

Getting error
Hi all after passing command for booting ubuntu I get a error chroot can't find /bin/bash folder or directory missing

Im wondering if I install a rdp server instead of vnc if I can get remote audio working.
Ill post with whatever results i get once I'm done waiting 2 hours for the ubuntu image to download.
As for lag. I had a n900 running @600mhz and was doing a chroot into ubuntu and it ran fine, but it used xpyher not vnc. Is there any embedded X servers for android yet? (I highly doubt it)

data requirement for updating GUI pkg of Ubuntu
Can any body tell me size of the data required to update to gui ......as i m not using wi -fi i hv to stick on gsm data usage which is limited in my plan

Very cool!
I had lots of trouble rooting my 2.2.2, but finally got it done by running Gingerbreak twice in a row on a cleanly re-started Streak.
Thanks for a fun gig!

Motorola Xoom running Debian with KDE 4 natively (without chroot)

Hi All,
The following is a custom setup based on LIV2's original tutorial, running Debian Linux with KDE 4 natively (no chroot) instead of Gnome and a few tweaks of my own.
Please follow LIV2's original tutorial and note my changes below:
I have posted the video on my Youtube page (can't add due to insufficient posts)
I will upload the boot.img image and files shortly.
What works
- Booting into KDE 4
- On screen keyboard based on xvkbd
- Wireless bcm4329 driver loads (must configure manually via wpa_supplicant)
- USB keyboard USB OTG cable (made by Motorola)
Instructions
1. Follow LIV2's original instructions until:
Code:
# echo “deb ftp.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main contrib non–free” > /etc/apt/sources.list
2. Also add this:
Code:
echo “deb backports.debian.org/debian-backports squeeze-backports main contrib non-free” >> /etc/apt/sources.list
3. Refresh repo:
Code:
apt-get update
4. Run this:
Code:
apt–get install xserver–xorg–video–fbdev xserver–xorg–input–evdev gnome initramfs–tools
Aptitude install kde-desktop
apt-get install bluez kdebluetooth xvkbd
(instead of this):
Code:
# apt–get install xserver–xorg–video–fbdev xserver–xorg–input–evdev gdm3 gnome initramfs–tools wpa-supplicant
Don't worry about wpa-supplicant, it will be installed as part of kde-desktop packages.
5. Edit the following files to make the on screen keyboard (xvkbd) work properly:
/etc/kde4/kdm/kdmrc
Code:
UseTheme=false
/etc/kde4/kdm/Xsetup
Code:
xvkbd geometry -300-100 -no-back-pointer &
6. Continue with LIV2's instructions
7. Make following directories under your chroot and copy the wireless firmware files:
Code:
/vendor/firmware for fw_bcm4329.bin
/system/etc/wifi for bcm4329.cal
Copy files above in the noted directories. I had to slightly alter LIV2's step here since the module wouldn't load when files where copied to those other folders mentioned in his tutorial.
8. Continue with LIV2's instructions but run this:
Code:
sudo make INSTALL_MOD_PATH=[PATH_TO_CHROOT_DIR] modules_install
(instead of):
# export INSTALL_MOD_PATH=[PATH_TO_CHROOT_DIR]
The original step above failed to install/copy the modules into the correct location.
9. Follow LIV2's instructions to the end
Please use the NDK mentioned in LIV2's tutorial, android–ndk–r5b and not newer otherwise it will not work.
These steps are based on the Tiamat 1.4.4 kernel (stock GPU)
Updates will follow...

Does sound work?

No sound support. I did not see any support in the kernel for the CPCAP 2.2TC22 SoC.
LE: Actually, it's gotta have something, just does not seem to work out of the bat. dmesg shows CPCAP info and plenty of related devices in /dev . Have to figure out how and if I can use them.

Cool. Love KDE 4! Would it be possible to add the Bodhi-repo and install E17 and use the Tablet-profile of E17?

Got it to work... but too many errors still. Need help.
Thanks for the great work and explanations.
I have setup Debian 6 (and also Ubuntu 10.10) from scratch + latest updates, to build it. But installing the packages (xserver etc...) produces lots of errors with qemu such as:
unsupported system call 341
many packages failed to install
...
The worse case is with gnome, complete failure to apt-get update. With KDE, I succeeded using aptitude and removing some recommended packages. Still the final system is not working as on the video.
After hours of googling, I came to the conclusion that you guys must use some customized system that I couldn't reproduce. Would you care sharing what is your environment, packages installed and patches?
Thanks

any progress done?
hi everyone,
i'm dying to move away from android to debian. i was wondering was there any progress done? is there a project going on? did anyone fix the sound+bluetooth not working?

NICE !
Awesome Project :good: :good:
The only thing that makes me wonder ist... android should be a openSource project based on Linux.
But we have to struggle and "fight" to make linux run on it?!?!?!
Can you give us an update on what works and what not and if you or who continues this project, please?
The XOOM ist still one of the best tabletts on the market since it has UMTS build in.
I would love to see Debian etc. running on it and most of the functions (camera, GPS, USB, WLAN) working fine.....
....don't leave us hanging now
At least leave full infos on how you approached the task and where you left it, oki.
thx

[TUT] CHROOT Ubuntu on Iconia

Based on:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=987740
All Credits to him
Im using this solution to run jdownloader, a local webserver, and to compile arm sources without any toolchain ( a bit more comfortable ).
You have to know, that this isnt rly fast compared to native ubuntu but its an easy solution..
Requirements:
-> Rooted Iconia A500(1)
-> Terminal Emulator ( some other shell )
Step by Step:
1) Download this package and extract it to /sdcard/ubuntu
2) Follow the installation steps in the linked orginal post.
DO NOT INSTALL THE CUSTOM KERNEL THERE!!!
Im using Jump Desktop as VNC Viewer because its a great App supporting Usb Mouse with Left and Right Click.
Do you want JDownloader running on your Tablet?
1) run apt-get install openjdk-6-jre
2) Download JDownloader MULTIOS Package from their site
3) cd to the extracted directory
4) run java -jar JDownloader.jar
Do you want to access your android system?
1) simply go to /android
You are on a ICS Rom and rightclick doesnt work? (USB Mouse)
1) apt-get install xbindkeys xbindkeys-config xdotools
2) xbindkeys-config
3) im using ctrl+left click as right click so input event is: ctrl+b:1
4) mapped event: xdotools click 3
5) add xbindkeys to autostart (for example with chrome startup application)

Interesting. Thanks for sharing

You might just as well use Linux Installer from the market...
EDIT: It can do both ubuntu and debian (stable/unstable).

This vs LinuxInstaller
I tried using the LinuxInstaller method and while it worked it wasn't as smooth as this. I used it to try to install Ubuntu 11.04 and it install Ubuntu, but headless and I had issues using LinuxInstaller's provided methods for install VNC, SSH, etc.
So far this method appears to be running smoothly, Ubuntu was install, VNC and SSH both installed, now I am just waiting for Gnome to install.
In the end they probably both work equally as well, but I am personally having more success with this method

Linux installer doesnt work on my device correctly

This only seems to be for Ubuntu 11.04.
Linux Installer only seems to support Ubuntu 9.04.
Did anybody try Ubuntu Installer Free by ZPwebsites? It seems to have a stable Ubuntu 12.04 install available from 26th April onwards.
EDIT: Doesn't look like my rooted ICS OTA 1.033 ROM meets the requirements.

[TOOL]Heimdall v1.4 RC1

Hi Folks
heimdall.7z - 334.63 KB
I thought I'd continue in the same vein as my previous post and add to the Pi's arsenal of android related tools , So here is the Open Source Samsung Flashing utility Heimdall.
There's nothing special about this build, I just cloned the git sources and compiled them on Rapbian. Easy as, well , Pi I suppose
you'll have to install either libusb-1.0-0 or libusb-1.0-0-dev using apt-get.
[ EDIT: ] Do It yourself!
Just for completeness here's the steps if you want to build it yourself using Raspbian
Open a terminal window
Code:
sudo apt-get install git-core libusb-1.0-0-dev
cd ~/
git clone git://github.com/Benjamin-Dobell/Heimdall.git
cd Heimdall/libpit
./configure
make
cd ../heimdall
./configure
make
sudo make install
cd ~/
rm -rf Heimdall
The configure -> make -> make install workflow is used by a large number of linux tools this make compiling most things for the Pi on the Pi as simple as the steps above. Sometimes finding where the official source code is for a package is the hardest step.

did you try it on any phones?
Hi,
I'm glad to see someone else considering using a Pi for this. Did you try using it on any phones?
I don't have a linux or windows machine handy, just a mac (which has some problems with heimdall), so I thought I'd try the Pi for rooting an old Epic 4G (a Galaxy S phone), in order to upgrade to CM10. Unfortunately I ran into two problems:
1) When I plug the phone in (not just the USB cable), the Pi would sometimes completely restart. This didn't happen every time. I think this may be due to power issues (perhaps it was trying to charge, and the Pi couldn't produce the right current), I didn't try a powered hub (I don't have one). But it also could be a software bug crashing the system. Debugging crashes like this is a little beyond my expertise, though if I get some time and can reproduce it I might try some more.
2) I was only able to get heimdall to detect the phone once. Other times it said "no device detected". When it was detected, I flashed clockwork recovery mod (or at least I typed the commands to do so), and it seemed to work (as far as I could tell), but when I started in recovery mode it was a stock recovery. Perhaps it didn't finish? I'm not sure what happened, since heimdall treated it as a success and the phone restarted.
Anyway, I thought I'd give my experience in case anyone else saw either of these problems too (or knew the answers). And I'd be interested to hear if someone had no problems.

I haven't tried this tool at all as I use my pi as a htpc, but i can tell you from experience setting that up that power can be a major issue. I didn't have reboots, but rather all my usb devices would quit working, even powered ones(and the only thing drawing power was a keyboard dongle) and my power supply is supposed to be rated for 2A.
I picked up a 20$ 7 port hub that works almost flawlessly (the 7th port doesn't agree with it). I would recommend picking one up.
Just my 2 cents
Also you don't mention what os you are running but try checking /var/log if it happens again. This is where logs generally get generated

Thanks for sharing sdeneefe, I'm no electronics expert, but a educated stab in the dark and given the fun I had myself finding a stable setup combination I'd be tempted to agree with Endoroid, power does seem to be in the hands of the gods. Personally I could not find a charging plug the would supply enough power to keep the HDMI output stable on my monitor.....every other display I've tried works fine apart from the intended main one, partly to do with the monitor I think because it also has trouble with MHL connections. I eventually solved my power woe's by using my computer's USB as the power source.
EDIT: Initial Tests seems OK although I had to run with sudo because I've not configured udev but device is detected and I've pulled and printed the pit. This is both through a powered hub and jacked straight into the device I'll try flash a rom in a bit...... because doesn't everyone spend NYE flashing roms and posting on xda,

heimdall depends on libc6 (>= 2.4).

heimdall depends on libusb-1.0-0 (>= 2:1.0.8).
Got some dependency version issues, Is that something you want to/can deal with automatically? or just tell the user to upgrade! I'm not overly familiar with what debs and dpkg etc are fully capable of.... I tend to let apt and aptitude do all the heavy lifting
Could always build a static one I suppose. :good:

I just placed this version of Heimdall into my CASUAL repository. Here is a proper arch Heimdall deb file packaged with the binary from the OP.

This will always be up-to-date with CASUAL's capabilities because this is my source repository, so it's a good link. Let me know if there's any problems.

Hello, this stopped being usable time ago i think. I'm also having big problems compiling heimdall on current 3.12.35+/3.18.3+|4+ kernel Raspbian on rasPi B+, seems to be a libc dependancy problem. Could you please provide a new link instead of android-casual googlecode site? Thank you very much

Clockworkmod tether not working in windows 10

I have 2 phones, a samsung galaxy note 4 (tmobile) and a zte zinger (tmobile). One is a flagship, the other is a temporary replacement. I've attempted to get clockworkmod tethering working on both, but the tethering program wouldn't start. I'm on windows 10 as the title says, and I've done everything from uninstalling and re-installing clockworkmod tether on windows and my phone to disabling driver signature to re-install drivers for both phones, as well as replacing the ADB files from a fresh/latest install for ADB into the win32 directory to running it in compatibility mode and/or administrative mode. I verified my copy of ADB works inside C:\Program Files (x86)\ClockworkMod\Tether\win32 so I know it's not that.
Here's the only line (or 2) from the log output:
C:\Program Files (x86)\ClockworkMod\Tether
""
And then it stops.

Same here. I upgraded, and I can't uninstall OR reinstall the app either. It says I need to insert the CD-ROM for the software -.- Seems like an MS issue, but hell, who knows?

Sadly Koush hasn't made any updates to the app or PC software since February and seems to be ignoring all support requests (I've emailed, left a bug report, etc and got no response whatsoever). Windows 10 has definitely broken something with the tether, but without the dev's help I doubt it's fixable.

Just want to add that I am having the same problem. All i get is "C:\Program Files (x86)\ClockworkMod\Tether". Hopefully this gets fixed. I doubt Ill ask for a refund since Ive used the hell out of this app, but I do not want to buy another app just for Win 10.

Exactly the same here. Very frustrating.
Exactly the same here. Looks like a MS or windows 10 problem.
Hope the dev can fix it.

guess what.. same problem.. emailed and no response from tether anyone have a fix yet?

This really sucks. I only went to 10 on my laptop to test it out. Sadly its the only thing that uses tether. :crying:
*PDANet+ works great for USB tether. Not so much with the hot spot feature. The full version is $8 so eh... It works though! No root needed for USB tether with PDANet.

Has @Koush released the source for the PC side app?

Same problem - hello @Koush ! Any progress on this?
Thanks,

Looks like he took the money and ran. Very unprofessional. Everyone needs to remember if/when he releases a new app. I will be the first to say HELL NO. not getting my money.

Windows 10 android tethering apps
I'm on metropcs (t-mobile carrier) on the 'unlimited plan'. I came here seeking support for clockworkmod tether under Windows 10. I am not willing to 'downgrade' back to Windows 7 behind Clockworkmod's lack of support. I can report that the paid versions of both PDAnet and EasyTether work well enough. I would prefer Clockworkmod for the sole reason that it uses real/regular ADB as its middleware, so I can still use other apps like Vysor (to control my device) while tethered. Unlike PDAnet and EasyTether which seem to use hacked version of adb and prevent any other normal usb-pc connectivity (no regular adb apps, so no vnc/vysor). That's a big deal for me since I put my phone is an external antenna holster, because the android device is my sole source of Internet, here, and the ability access my phone via the computer screen makes my life easier. I hope CWM Tether gets fixed, but since they don't seem to care I hope someone comes along with a better product (using real ADB and more support).

Same here - doesn't work on Windows 10
@Koush - you gonna man up?

Guys, I've finally made CM Tether work on Windows 10!
Installation guide for Win10:
At first install CM Tether on your PC as usual.
Then get OpenVPN installer (you can google it)
Uncheck all checkboxes except TAP Virtual Ethernet Adapter in installator if OpenVPN isn't needed.
Install it.
Just run Tether as admin.
It worked for me, contact me if it didn't for you.

thanks
Thank you so much t1meshift! This one worked for me!

Good info, but rather than downloading the OpenVPN installer, get just the TAP-windows NDIS6 package instead.
filename is tap-windows-9.21.2.exe, available from same OpenVPN download page.
Then it works! Awesome.
