[Q] Ubuntu on Defy(+) - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know that it was only launched yesterday but I am really excited about the launch of Ubuntu for phones, it looks like a really slick experience. My question is to the devs out there working on the defy(+), is there any chance that we will see this on the defy(+) as we already have a custom kernel which means the UI is the only thing that needs porting?
Thanks

Multi windows like Samsung Galaxy?

Would it be possible on our device?
Thank you

I think Thor had that Onskreen Cornerstone was working on one of his ICS builds, not sure if it's still implemented though.
I was reading a little about it just today and I discovered that this feature is TouchWiz related... I don't know if there is a way to bring it for non Samsung devices
Thor did have it working on his ICS ROM.
Conerstone abandoned support....so it was pulled from future builds
is Multi Window the same as Kornerstone?
I thought it was something new.
maybe time for a Samsung port? I miss TW on my acer...
looks like it could be achieved through an app or custom launcher? very cool to have on a tablet.
How?
Yhanks

Samsung's implementation of Multi Window is buried very deeply into their TouchWiz code. It can't even be ported to an S3 or Note 2 running an AOSP rom, which I currently use. It depends on too many TW libraries to even consider porting.
Kornerstone was an older attempt at this feature, but was abandoned by its creators and the latest version of Thor's ROM that contained it (circa build v164 for ICS) was buggy as hell due to Kornerstone. Thor removed it from his subsequent ROMs (at least by v169).
Alas, there is absolutely zero possibility we will EVER see Samsung's Multi Window on our A500, or any non-TW ROM.
Try VirtuousGalaxy
One week ago I downgraded my bootloader to be able to use Virtuous Galaxy Rom, that have the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 TouchWiz Interface with mini-apps (only 7) in little windows that you can move and interact with them as you want, but is 10000 times more limited than the posibilitis that Note 10.1 TouchWiz gives.
The first drawback is that this Rom still in Hc 3.2 and it have a worse performance than the 4.x.x and that you have to downgrade your bootloader (If you have Dual Bootloader V8 ICS) and then you can only install HC roms.
I was asking for a 4.x ICS Bootloader TouchWiz Rom there and in other forums but nobody says anything. I tryed to give the code of Touchwiz and tryied to port a rom, but it was imposible to me (I have no enought knowledge about it)
Sorry for my bad English, i'm Spanish

[Q] JellyBean 4.1.2 Slim Beans port

Hi everyone,
I'm learning to work with roms, and have chosen lloirs excellent build of slim bean 3.15 on the HTC One V. I was wondering if anyone with post experience of working on jb had any advice on things I could tweak or explore the utilisation of on the rom, not just to make it better but also for a good learning experience. So far I have spent the last few days trying to recompile the SystemUI, but today I found the slim jb-apktool, which i thought would hold the answer :'( but to no avail so far. Any help would be super welcome

Hi,
I'm afraid that the rom here will not be compatible with the Samsung Galaxy Young GTS6310, that is without you porting it over. This could be as simple as changing some permissions and library files, or a lot more complicated. Does the Samsung Galaxy Young GTS6310 already have a JB4.1.2 CyanogenMod 10 rom built for it? If it does that could make things a lot easier for you.

[REQUEST] AOKP for Alcatel OT Idol 6030a

I know thereĀ“s a project of an AOKP ROM for this device but it was abandoned, so it would be great if someone can continue that ROM or do a new one to upgrade it to 4.1.2 at least, cause it is stock on 4.1.1, I would be grateful to enjoy at least the features of that version of android, I'm sure this device can totally support it D:

Future port of Ubuntu Touch can be possible on totoro ?

Hey everybody, as i said in the title, with the new progess of BroadcomCM on CM's is Ubuntu Touch could be ported to our Galaxy Y ?
Like in this video in which the guy says that is running Ubuntu Touch under a CM10 rom, see : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znehah_vX1s
I'm completely crazy about this OS, because i like the way the user interface is used to make things, that's be great if we can have it on totoro too
Its possible but I think ubuntu touch doesn't support armv6 but I can be wrong too
Maybe it can ported to totoro if we have stable CM
That's what's i thinked about, but i know each port is different even if it's based on CM in the case of the S3.
No it can't be ported to totoro, Ubuntu touch needs at least a dual core 1.2 processor to run properly

[POLL] KitKat-based LBL ROM choices

So, @neXus PRIME wants to make a locked bootloader-compatible ROM, aside from his wonderful AOSPA port. Now it's your choice, so choose the ROM you want carefully.
Huh one choice...
But one is not enough .-.
I know, but my hard disk space is not enough.
I have currently PA and aokp sources.
I am planning to replace aokp sources with the one you guys pick here. I can do a third too but then i will have to delete ccache space... But that is not good.
I'd like to see MIUI get updated to the latest version and see how that runs on our device because the MIUI interface itself looks pretty slick, and if possible a port of multirom would be a nice thing as well (if possible: don't know if our device is using fstab or rc)

I agree too
Like Paranoid Nexus, there is the chance of chosen rom to work with unlocked bootloader?
I can choice easier if I know which rom has what kind of features.
Actually MIUI seems like a good idea, plus it's a bit different when compared to the AOSP bunch.
Yeah MIUI would be cool, but if not i would love to see carbon or pacman on LBL.
@neXus PRIME
i appreciate your hard work buddy
instead of which rom you compile,i think we need advanced custom kernel like doomkernel...i'm currently using pacman 4.4.4 and none of cutom kernel present on forum does'nt works
Can we have avatar rom!
Avatar, Chameleon, AOSBam, Sonic.....wtf.... so many kangerzzz
But why is PURE AOSP winning out???
Don't know why but vanir being a ubl ROM is really fast and smooth, is it in the ROM or the optimisations by the dev??
In the feature code, ahe has mentioned many compiler optimisations, isbit because of them or the ROM????
I would have said Slimkat if bagyusz doesn't update it, but as of now i don't know if he will.
An update to the latest MIUI would be lovely, locked or unlocked BL is a matter of secondary importance for me
Apart from that Carbon, Vanir and PACman on a stock/stock-based kernel would also be nice

I think that some peoples want to have the android L version. Also they choosed Pure AOSP. This day, Google push the sdk of the android l version.
For android kitkat based, you can do MIUI Rom or if you want an AOSP, you can choose the AOKP.
The problem with android L is we'd have to check the LBL kernel modules we have work on it otherwise its another big job to update (if its even possible).
No L possible. End of story. Just vote the available choices
Well, when I was adding AOSP to the poll I didn't even think of Android L. Maybe I should have written it more precisely.
And yeah, there is a lot of work to do to make L work on LBL. The first thing that's coming to my head are Adreno drivers from 4.3(we are using them in KitKat, so it's not clean and fully working by any means). The second thing is power saving mode in L: we don't know if that's a kernel or OS feature... And there are many things that may result in a complete incompatibility between our kernel and Android L, and changing ramdisks won't help in that case.
Aren't the sources for L coming out in September? Why even talk about it now, wait till the Cyanogen team start to push the first nightlies, then we can put Android 5.0 in the conversation
