Ubuntu Touch - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi! Main reason for me to upgrade my trusty old Htc desire (running CM jelly) was to run Ubuntu Touch OS on this great piece of hardware.
I am in the process of setting up the build enviroment. Am I the only one trying this for the international 9505 S4?

Any news yet? I think that since Ubuntu Touch builds upon CM as interface for hardware, there should be good possibilities due to the S4 google edition coming soon.

+1 would like to see this too

Ubuntu TOuch GT-I9505
hi, I would love to be a tester, if anyone has managed to port the rom to the galaxy S4 I9505. I have played with it *(alpha) on the S3, and it's amazing in terms of design. Just hope someone will port it soon ^^.

Would be great
Yeah i'd love to test it too,, i've been running my S4 I9505 on early CyanogenMod since the day I got it but i'd totally love to have Ubuntu on it,, (I use ubuntu on my desktop and laptop, too)
but I guess around the time there's a official CM10.1 Stable build out, there will be someone who made a port of ubuntu touch

Yet another +1...
Could be a great alternative to TW / CM... Dev' needed
Did anyone tried to fetch the code and "merge" / port some job from AOSP to it, early "alpha" unofficial builds?

I'm in for testing too this sounds great and I'm willing to help in development

Love to see this on sprint version. More than willing to test, and help in anyway possible.

Would definitely try this, finally have the full hang on backups and roms and what i can do to (dangerously) speed things up and shizzle so im ready for anything now

Trust me your not the only one,given our handsets exceed the minimum requirements it just requires a dev or two to jump onboard aswell. I know sod all about "porting" do I can dream. Hopefully given time well have a port. Or even a official. (dreaming right?) Finger's crossed :thumbup::beer:

MIUI ROM

Throwing it out there as I have the time to pursue but not the hardware - anyone willing to part with a p3113?, I'd like to port over MIUI for the Tab2. If anyone is interested PM me.
For the love of Google, someone get this guy a P3113. Or donate so he can get one! I'll throw a few bones your way Tuesday/Wednesday.
Anyone else interested in MIUI for our tabs? If 25 of us just do $10, this guy, might just deliver something awesome.
Can, you provide us with a little more info on your dev skills; can you handle such a task? Also, a donate button, or paypal link would help your cause, getting donations.

Hah' thanks for the plug. In theory this would be my first full blown rom. Ive always done the testing, never the up front work. I've gotten my tab to the point where I don't even care if JB gets ported to it. Everything works, its stable, snappy, and makes no sense to mess with it.
As for my Atrix4G...that ****s taken a beating and MIUI was my choice. There where too many minor bugs and since I want a phone that works full time, I stopped messing with that and went back to Jokers latest. Searching around I can't find anything for a 3113 and MIUI. In short, if I had something else to fart around with and get it to the point where it works as well as what I'm writing you with...I'd love to share, maintain, etc. Paying for the shorties education, sports, etc comes first...hah. took the honest approach with this one.

Well the GTab 2 is relatively a new device so it takes some time for the community to grow. As for MIUI I have seen the Gingebread version and it's far more superior to stock rom in my previous x10i, so I also like to see the Gtab ICS version of it

MIUI on the Atrix was outstanding - video cam and a few other minor issues is the only thing holding me back there. I could see the potential on a gt2 esp with a kernel mod... who knows, it's just a thought! polska dobra!
Sorry man but if you want a tab 2 then buy one. They're cheap.
Miui would be cool but it wouldn't be hard for any decent developer to port. Plus with the popularity of this tablet miui will come, just a matter of time.
i hear you - hoping some decent developer forgets to work on their nexus, xoom, kindle and picks up a tab2 instead... and gets the IR to work properly

Sent from my GT-P3100 using xda app-developers app
In theory, couldn't one just take an MIUI rom designed for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, and tweak that to work for our tabs?
Its CPU is very similar, and the GPU is the exact same.
Also this might be worth checking out aswell
http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/04/samsung-releases-galaxy-tab-2-7-and-10-source-code/
I'm wouldn't dare touch the title of RecDev... but I'm interested in getting into it. I'm Gonna poke around in this... seems like everything to make this happen is sitting right there on the table so to speak.
And let's not forget that if it works on the 7.0 it can be ported to the 10.1 with less effort...
BTW, you might be interested in this thread.

Ubuntu Phone OS on N7000

Hey folks, I'm keen to start work porting the gnexus image for Ubuntu to the N7000 when it's released later this week. Is anyone else keen to join this effort?
While very familiar with the linux commandline, servers, desktop linux, and flashing my phone, I haven't compiled much code before and am unsure where to start. I would appreciate any advice you might have.
Looking forward to getting this os running on our original notes.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Deleted sorry wrong post.
I would love to see some support here. Push!
I'm presuming you're going to need to build an unbuntu compatible kernel for the note, mobile devices don't tend to work in the same way as desktops, so the pretty much universal kernel model used on the desktops don't work too well here. (size being the major consideration).
Not really looked into what they are doing, I'm presuming they will release source under gpl, so at least you will be able to diff a standard gnex build and the ubuntu. You can then use that as a basis to rebuild for the note.
"Porting" an image if that's all they release is going to end up quite messy.
EDIT according to techradar they will release source http://www.techradar.com/news/softw...galaxy-nexus-nexus-4-coming-next-week-1131567

You think every android phone runs on the same kernel? Think again.
It's always a possible that they will use an Android kernel for the gnexus or n4 builds, but it's unlikely, as Android has some features that don't play too nicely with a mainstream Linux build.
Not seen this yet, nor code for it, so can't say exactly what they are doing yet.

See what happens when it comes out then, but would seem from the information Canonical is presenting that they are using standard android kernels. Will be interesting to see.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Porting thats the official porting guide, but im sorry for not beiing capable of making a port of that

Yes, but what he say is that Ubuntu runs from Android Kernel. The CyanogenMod 10.1 kernel. And as we have CM 10.1 on note, the kernel is not a problem
Yep, definitely looks doable now. Love cyanogenmod and ubuntu.

Yeah the guide makes it very simple, just follow the instructions

It's been ported to the SGS3 so provided a developer picks it up for the N7000 i can't imagine it's far off:

Well... There is actually just 1 thread but in (near?) future there will be more threads for mods, roms etcpp and so they would get lost between the android threads... But I think we have time till the first port appears...
But count me in for beta! Would be pretty awesome seeing Ubuntu 4 Phones on our beloved GNote!

Well, it's not just that. MIUI is very easy to theme and, at least on my Droid X, very fast. In fact, it was the smoothest ROM for that phone in my opinion, and I was flashing just about everything for two years straight.
I guess MIUI is Opensorce project, see www.miui.us for more detail. and here https://github.com/MiCode/PatchRom/tree/jellybean
please anyone be kind enough to explant to the razr m
Love or hate MIUI, it’s an innovative and fresh take on Android, and one of the most popular custom ROMs out there. What didn’t sit so well with many of our forum members, however, was the fact that, despite being built on top of the open source CyanogenMod ROM, it was closed, with all development being done by the Xiaomi company. Well, was – it’s now in the process of being open sourced.
Besides the ROM itself – or, rather, a “PatchROM” that should allow developers to port MIUI to new devices – the various MIUI-specific applications are also getting their source codes released, all under the Apache 2.0 license. Not everything seems to be available yet, but then, we guess that the whole process spearheaded by the new MiCode community will take some time.
If you’re a developer, take a look at the source code on GitHub.
miui is nice, fast smooth and pretty but it has some limitations from standard android. anyways i would love if someone would port the new galaxy s3/s4 rom for razr m. dont know if its possible but would be cool. (pls dont tell me 'u should have bought the galxy s3 then', i bought the razr m for its incredible build )
I'll keep it real, i bought the RAZR M bc it was the best phone for $50.00

not the old touchwiz! that sucks.. yea! well i was also skeptical about the s3 when it had been released. recently i used one and a galaxy note 2, i have to say the ui is smooth and it has some nice features. anyways im just saying. i liked it. i have used sonys and htcs ui but both are as smooth or easy for the eyes as the s3 ui. well just my opinion. right now i would take any rom thats smooth cool and stable. i guess miui v5 port would super cool for the razr m. i heard cool reviews about it. :fingers-crossed: hope they release it soon and someone make a port

I tried out the launcher and it is still a little buggy. Biggest issue is the lockscreen quirks. Like it will sometimes unlock just by touching the screen or sometimes won't even show the lock screen.

Any News on Ubuntu Touch for i337 ? In my understanding it can be installed on Google Edition and only problem we have with i337 is locked bootloader ?
it's not listed at all on ubuntu wiki.
i'd like to try it as well if it pops up
