Ubuntu Touch - Advent Vega - Vega General

I've been reading about the new Ubuntu Touch mobile OS, and apparently the only base it requires to port it to a new device is CM10.1. Courtesy of our excellent Advent Vega developers we have a functional CM10.1 build, and I was wondering if anyone had considered using it to port Ubuntu touch to our device, it seems to me like it would be a good match.

We already have a booting Ubuntu Touch build. The most active development is happening on tabletroms for the Advent Vega. Actually I am running Ubuntu Touch on my PoV at the moment. Ubuntu Touch is just a preview at the moment and not a fully developed os . Canonical still has a lot of work to do before this can be of any real use.

Damn Scanno,
i like your Android Mods, you add a realy nice Manual to install to it.
Can you tell me, if this Image usable on the smartbook surfer?
an can you give me a hint, how to install step by step? If there an Exe File like your Images?
How usabil is the ubuntu touch in daily usw ( only Surfing, Music, emails? ) ... is 3g working`???

This is something I am looking to do as well, there are a few files floating around. Just need to sit down and round them up :good:

HD2 is runing Ubuntu in native mode (no VNC), can DHD do the same?
Do DHD users need to recompile their kernal to enable loop back devices the same as the EVO4G?
I am currently using Official HTC 2.6.32.21-g3d0aaff should it be the same instructions as compiling a kernal with CONFIG_DEV_BLK_LOOP=y for the EVO4G for the DHD aswell?
I have chrooted ubuntu working on my desire hd a recompile of the kernel was not needed like the evo4g.

1 LOOP = is for short ubuntu in android we want real ubuntu NATIVE
2 DHD kan easy do ubuntu.even beter then hd2 as spec are beter.
3 We only need some kind of boot img with some options enabled like config_vt=y ( i dont know wat's needed more * )
4 CONFIG_DEV_BLK_LOOP=y is needed to chroot a os in a os
From wat i read online this are the option to enable in .config in your source to build.
CONFIG_INPUT=y
CONFIG_VT=y
CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE=y
But as i say i dont know, its only wat i read
Hi,
I got it working on LeeDroid using this guide:

Just out of curiousity...the Android OS is linux based...what would be the benefit of running ubuntu on the DHD (or any phone for that matter)?
I am currently running Ubuntu 10.10 on my laptop and there IS benefits there, but I just don't see how they would be related to a smartphone application except for the (pardon the reference) "geekiness" of it.
I know leedroid is currently playing with ubuntu on dhd...

just for some points , not that you need them.
1 download a 10G torrent for me on you phone without crashing.
2 let just forget all the apps you get with ubuntu alone
3 please run some python for me and i do mean full support
4 greasemonkey support
5 this are just some of the things
6 and that all on a smal smartphone instead of a 11inch notebook.
But just for the recored not that you need them , but sure i do.
Watched a few YouTube vids .. using the touch screen instead of a mouse looks tricky

Linux on A500: The Future

We have had native Linux on our Iconias for quite a while now but the builds and kernels are getting outdated, Unity is here and there is no real direction as to what needs to be accomplished.
This thread has been started principally for two kinds of people:
Kernel and Linux developers whom can offer advice or indeed actual code
Iconia enthusiasts for suggestions / ideas as well as any logic they may have
This thread does not aim to make Linux on our Iconias poof out of nowhere. It requires a huge amount of work to get going although with proper information exchange it should be much easier to get the project going.
The current ToDo list is as follows (feel free to post me more):
RootFS on /data/linux
Kernel initrd which will chroot to /data/linux
Linux Kernel will boot off mmcblk0p7
Upgrade to Ubuntu 12.04 (although RootStock is now deprecated, we can just download a pre-built bundle for the arm-eabi FS, use live-build or get a pre-made RootFS. There's lots of options for this)
Build the kernel from scratch (this is kind of obvious anyway). Building for armhf sounds like a good idea
Full graphics acceleration from the Tegra 2 for Unity
Perhaps a build of Backtrack (this shouldn't be too difficult - they offer an image for arm. If it can share the kernel then we should be okay)
A501 3G Modem
USB Huawei Modems (although initial Googling seems to imply the compatibility of usbserial.ko and hence OOTB compatibility so long as a udev rule is added)
Camera, sensors and non-patchy wifi (issue on 2.6.38 although the nvidia drivers below should fix this)
Latest Linux kernel (ie 3.1.x)
We have plenty of resources at our disposal such as:
Dual Boot Bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1619913
ICS Kernel source: http://global-download.acer.com/GDF...AB&Step3=A500&OS=a08&LC=en&BC=Acer&SC=EMEA_27
A 2.6.x chromeos-based kernel with quite a bit of functionality implemented: https://github.com/astarasikov/iconia-gnu-kernel
Linux for Tegra which provides many drivers for porting Linux to the Tegra chips: http://developer.nvidia.com/linux-tegra
Kexecboot - a bootloader on a kernel image system which could be placed on mmcblk0p2 and can give us huge flexibility in terms of launching a kernel (http://kexecboot.org)
I've looked inside the Linux for Tegra package and a HUGE amount is in there including x configurations, hardware drivers, Broadcom wifi firmware and the list goes on.......
There's also a codec package so we can have native video acceleration in loads of formats.
The bootloader will, at least initially, probably be the default Acer one. We could utilise kexecboot in the future as noted above
What we need:
A system for organising the code. CI & trac?
Perhaps a wiki.... or at least somewhere to organise ideas and reversed data
Either role assignment or a huge number of 'issues' with the code on a system such as trac and anybody can fix any issue
What works without kernel hacking:
Sound: The Wolfson WM8903 sound chip has driver provided by Wolfson which have been integrated directly into the official Linux kernel source (source: http://opensource.wolfsonmicro.com/content/linux-drivers-wolfson-devices)
Wi-Fi (almost) - the broadcom drivers are available with a simple apt-get. They are also available through Linux for Tegra
Graphics Acceleration (Hardware) - the drivers and codecs come from Linux for Tegra
armhf - Support for the hard float capabilities is built right into the Tegra2 and both Ubuntu and Linux for Tegra provide this support alongside the (seemingly legacy!) armel
The RootFS can now be built with qemu-debootstrap
Please let me know if I forgot anything else (which I undoubtedly did!)
I'm all in. I can do whatever is needed. Looking For Backtrack more than Ubuntu but i'd imagine once we get the Kernels sorted any distro will be easy to make work. Looking forward to the FUN.
First, we have 3.0.0 kernel by sp3dev (having issues), I'll take look on that one. Eventhough kernels 3.0.y and 3.2.y (not 3.1.10 - that's EOL!) are good enough.
Secondly, kernel does not chroot, a script in initrd image does chroot (this isn't any magic). As in the previous question about cmdline, it's just say "dynamic configuration" for the kernel (as where to find rootfs etc.). In the linux kernel, it's hardcoded right now (needs to be undefined).
First, it's better to get points 1) - 3) working for now.
blackthund3r said:
There is a strong focus on the preliminary uboot bootloader, however. I'm not sure if this would replace the Acer bootloader or be chainloaded? Ideally we just want a boot img on mmcblk0p7. Can somebody confirm this for me?
Click to expand...

No that's not possible. U-boot will be standalone bootloader (i.e if u-boot, then no Acer BL). Right now, my patch in Acer BL gives us a "sub-bootloader" (don't want to call it second-stage bootloader, because it always returns back to Acer BL, eventhough we submit the image as a byte array (and not a partition)).
I think its a good idea to start from 3.1.10 that's on nv git and has linux variant too...

I think its a good idea someone cares to share his android kernel source. I tried to rebase my cros patches on top of nvidia android branch and most stuff seems to boot, but fb is not working.
I think I'll make a new version of uboot that will be able to boot custom kernel from a file/script in data partition and stock kernel from recovery partition. I have made a good port of uboot to sgs2 and now I know how to handle boot mode detection via gpio. Sadly I'm not using my iconia at all lately.
P.S. Everything works on 2.6.38 except camera and sensors. Wifi is unstable. What else could anyone probably want
Add to todo. 3G modem for A501
While the dual-boot bootloader is nice, it's not the best solution, in my opinion. Kexecboot would offer a nice multi-boot solution with a GUI. We'll have the ability to compile kernels on the native Linux environment without flashing every time. By simply passing arguments to the kernel (the one kexecboot loads), we can have it boot off of any partition Linux can see. This would eliminate any restrictions that the dual-boot bootloader may have. This would also be beneficial to users who prefer booting from non mmcblk0p7, non boot-img systems. (I personally prefer something along the lines of mmcblk1p1, with no boot img). Kexecboot already works for the Tegra 2, and has touchscreen abilities, so porting wouldn't be too terribly difficult. See here and here.
As far as distros go, we should look at something compiled for armhf. That'll help increase speeds. The tegra2 drivers already have a hard float pre-release available to play with.
If I think of anything else, I'll edit this post.

What exactly is the aim of this thread?
Is it for the improved quality of different Linux distros in general of the Tab?
Is it for the creation of a single distro which will run decently?
Is it for just for spitballing ideas about the above ideas?
Stating a single goal will help us accomplish said goal with greater ease.

Okay, so none of the distros you named could be ran on our tablet. They're all Intel/AMD only. We have an ARM device. It's a beautiful, low-power architecture, that only a few distros support. Arch Linux runs fairly smooth on it, even when running from a Class 4 external microsd card.
If you want to help, learn how to compile a kernel, the differences between x86 and ARM, and about some basic user-space tools which interact directly or almost directly with the kernel.
Honestly, I'm not trying to be an a-hole, but having a plethora of volunteers does nothing if the volunteers don't know how it works.

I meant no offense by my comment at all. You're inquisitive, which is very very necessary for this project.
I would like to work a bit of the kernel side with gears.
Kernel side question. Do we want it to be compiled for ARM HF? It would give us speed benefits, above all else.

Ubuntu Touch on Note 10.1

Anyone planning to port Ubuntu Touch to the Note 10.1. It seems like any device that can run CM 10.1 can run Ubuntu. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Porting
I think we need a multi boot boot-loader maybe the method like on the nexus 7 IT Rocks can mutiboot several os ..
I have ran ubuntu on nexus not tried touch yet. Maybe i will today later..

A multi boot would definitely be nice but you should be able to backup and restore to previous Android as it keeps the custom recovery.
There's a how-to guide for porting on wiki.ubuntu if someone is capable of doing it:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Porting
Ooo this sounds very cool. I tried to read the wiki but my head almost exploded trying to understand the first bits. So I doubt I am the one to get it. lol!
Ok! According to Ubuntu post on nexus 10 forum they discovered that the Ubuntu touch is actually a Cm10.1 rom with Ubuntu over it and they say that porting is as simple as porting cm to other devices

Trying to port JB ROM

Hey guys.
I am new to android developing.
I started by porting the CM10.1 ROM from HTC Desire, but my phone is stuck at the Huawei logo when it boots up.
I can still flash another ROM, but that is not the problem.
I want to know how to fix this. I want it to go past the Huawei Logo.
By the way, I used this procedure: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1598713 and I used Aurora ICS 5.0 for the base ROM. I know it doesn't have the same version of android, but there is no reason I shouldn't be experimenting like this.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

I have just ported the Jelly Bean from u8800pro to u8800non-pro, so I will be working on this ROM.
Seriously, I have no idea when I will be releasing a fully functional ROM. Because I have my studies as well, so I don't get much time to work on the ROM.
The audio is working in this ROM (wasn't working in the previous port),
The things that are currently not working are:
- WiFi
- Bluetooth
- Video Recording
I will try my best to do as much as possible.
I am new at building android ROMs, so please don't expect too much from me
I will be needing some help from other developers as well.
Do you think I should make a thread for this? or is there already enough not-fully functional JB ROMs there?

I would like to build Jelly Bean from source, like Blefish is doing right now, but I need a 64bit computer for that (mine is only 32bit. Unless there is a hack for this, I can't build from source.
I think everyone is going to start porting Jelly Bean ROMs until one starts working. :silly:
Everyone is porting the rom with the intention of making ir fully working and then abandon development. Why don't you and others continue the work that is already done instead of making a new port which will end up like the others.
Like your are having compatibility issues due to your 32bit computer, perhaps our device is incompatible with JB...

Our device will remain compatible with every new android untill android will be using some new architecture of processor, so "sometimes it's better to stay silent".
OP, abandon your trials of getting a working JB using copy-paste ports. It can be only ported from source.
P.S.: just install ubuntu x64 and try to build something like CWM recovery out of forumber's source. If it builds, you can build anything you want. Today's computers know how to emulate x64. I'm myself using an old pentium d 820 (i386, sse2 and that's all) and I can build.

P.S.: just install ubuntu x64 and try to build something like CWM recovery out of forumber's source. If it builds, you can build anything you want. Today's computers know how to emulate x64. I'm myself using an old pentium d 820 (i386, sse2 and that's all) and I can build.

So I can install ubuntu x64 on my x86 laptop? Are you talking about a virtual machine or installing ubuntu x64 on the actual laptop?
And as for others: Instead of saying that JB is not compatible with our device and all that sh*t, why don't you encourage me and give me some solutions.
Anyways, I am not posting this JB ROM until it's fully functional, because I might stop development as well (getting interested in firefox os).

First of all,your CPU must support x64,If it supported,you can install x64 to you computer.
If you want install x64 system in virtual machine (like VirtualBox),you CPU must support VT-x or AMD-V (virtualization).
You can check virtualization and x64 support via SecurAble;

Hi,
I've published a new git repository github.com/U8800Pro for our phone

I'd like a cm10.1 from source. So I can build ubuntu touch and firefox os like dazzozo does.
Since ivan don't release source I had to start from scratch.
let me know if someone wants to contribute...

And so?
G300 shouldn't have official ICS too and Dazzozo get firefox os and ubuntu working on his phone (I don't know if full working or partially working)

Hope you can prove us wrong by achieving something similar with our phone based on what Dazzozo did on his G300
well good luck! If you got the skillz make a working 10.1 first,firefox and ubuntu haven't even sort out their initial build bugs,i think porting a buggy beta release is a waste of time but its your time,so have fun with it..!
I don't want to guess who and when but if someone will try to make new kernel properly I would like to emphasize the kernel bug which is a bit annoying.
Camera pixels displacement.
When you try to make a photo vertically 5MP quality it has several pixels wide picture displacement and in result you get photo with (in most cases) white line at left border.
If you change quality to lower it is not appearing. If you make photo holding phone horizontally this is also not occurring.
Some times you can even see that this line at left border has image parts which should actually should be placed at the right side of the picture seems like that line was cut out from right side and placed to the left border...
Since it is just in few pixels wide it is not making picture completely bad but as I said it is annoying.
I also saw pika has release new version of kernel so as I said I would not like to ask any exact person for this to take care but if someone will succeed please consider it as a bug that is needed to fix in kernel.
p.s. about g300 I bought that one for my wife so 4.1.2 is not for daily use. only 4.0.3/4 based on stock is reliable
p.p.s If that is not related to kernel that who could look at this prob? it is with most of 3.xxx kernel using roms
good work eddi, ubuntu touch work on g300 but is very very slow tested by me with my friend's phone

I suspect this... What about firefox os?
no my friend dont want to install firefox os, dpeddi talk me with gtalk when you can
Seriously ?? Ubuntu? We dont even have a fully working cm10. Ubuntu is outta range. Even in my dads GS3 ubuntu doesnt work fully camera doesnt work gallery craps out. I seriously feel we should work on ICS or CM10 first to make them better and the first and the foremost thing to do is..To get a higher kernel than 3.0.8.. anyway thanks for sharing the GIT
