Unbuntu & Android Dual Boot - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can anyone please help me with the Unbuntu & Android dual boot complete instruction and download links???
Thanks in advance..!!

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/DualBootInstallation
Just saying I tried Ubuntu touch. And its very basic. Some crashes here and there. Not many features or apps. I also wouldn't recommend wearing a case since there's a lot of swiping from sides.

Just follow and reread the tutorial. Took me a while to get. And make sure you updated Ubuntu and its packages on your PC. That might help. And reinstall adb/fastboot.

You want install APKs? Just find "unknown sources" (I dont know how its called in english settings so sorry if it is called differently ) in your settings and allow them, than you can install apks.

[Q]Multirom kezec hard boot install?

I posted about this a couple of times in the multirom thread but I never got and answer so I thought I might post about it here in the q&a.
My question is when/how do I install the kezec hard boot kernel during the multirom setup /install? As in do i install it before i install multirom? Do i inject the boot.img after?
I didn't really get how to do it from the instructions and I'm quite wary about doing things I don't understand.

There isn't a kernel in the Multi-boot package, so are you referring to installing a 3rd-party one? It's probably most convenient to have that installed beforehand, because you will need to do the installation differently otherwise.
He says in his post that from multirom v3 onwards multirom uses some kexec-hardboot thing and that u need a patched kernel. Thanks for youre reply anyway

Right, pretty sure most devs have patched their kernels so most should work.

[Q] Can't install apps?

I just recently restored my phone to stock and then rooted it again, after that I installed PA 3.5 (MAY 12)
Now I am trying to install several apps that I have on my SD card, I get to the screen where it prompts me to install them, but I absolutely cannot press the install button. I did check the installation from unknown sources on. Has anyone else had this issue? I tried factory resetting the phone but it didn't help, I know its a common issue as I used to have it on my sii but it would get fixed by just reflashing the rom. In this case nothing seems to help.

It could be an issue with the new feature halo in the new PA builds. Try disabling it then installing the app.

Try copy the apk (s) to another folder & try again

I'm pretty sure the OP was looking for suggestions. Sometimes the littlest things will make difference. And before you go off on me, the post above his says "it could be" and "try" this. The OP never came back and stated this resolved his issue.

[Q] Does someone can help me?

I flash a new rom yesterday for my nexus 4. Unfortunately, it was stuck in the custom rom logo.
I want to fix it via recovery mode. Sadly, my volume key was broken:crying:
Does anybody knows how can I boot my nexus 4 without using volume key? (it was stuck in the custom rom logo.)
Is it an other way that is possible to fix my phone?
And don't pick on my english, I know that is poor:angel:
Use the application goo manager, it gives you the option to reboot into recovery

The phone bootloops. Did you try to use adb reboot recovery when bootanimation shows up? It could work

I wonder if he made a nandroid. However if your volume Kris are broken obviously you'd want to fix that.

UPDATED! 10/15 [Announcement] Safestrap released by Hashcode

In case you missed it Hashcode released the alpha of Safestrap over here...
[RECOVERY LOCKED] Safestrap Recovery v3.6x
...I am just sharing the news. You need to check the original thread for details and instructions. Please read carefully as there are a few caveats at this time. Like...
CURRENTLY THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE WHERE IF YOU HAVE ENCRYPTION ENABLED AND INSTALL SS IT BOOTLOOPS. IF YOU FIT THIS DESCRIPTION PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM SAFESTRAP FOR NOW.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
KNOWN ISSUES (PLEASE READ CAREFULLY):
For locked users: there is a process that happens when you click "Reboot Recovery" from the APK or use the "Recovery" button during the splash screen. Safestrap checks the device for write_protect and if it's enabled will automatically reboot the device to recovery (write_protect disabled) mode. You will see this as a screen with ORANGE text reading: "PLEASE WAIT THE DEVICE IS REBOOTING TO RECOVERY". Followed by the bootloader screen again. You may also see the splashscreen for Safestrap. If you see the splashscreen hit "Recovery" again. It's supposed to automatically take you to into recovery, but it doesn't work correctly yet.

And there are other things you need to read as well. So head over there and check out the OP and enjoy.
10/15 UPDATE BELOW
Hashcode said:
NEW Safestrap in the OP Link: v3.63
ATTENTION: IF UPGRADING FROM v3.62 or EARLIER USE "REMOVE RECOVERY" IN THE APK BEFORE INSTALLING THE NEW VERSION. I CHANGED THE HIJACK IN v3.63 -- DIFFERENT FILES ARE BEING CHANGED NOW.
CHANGES:
[3.63] I re-wrote the hijack to work at a MUCH better point during the boot. This cleans up most of the "jankyness" we were previously seeing with BT/Wifi and adb serial # on the stock rom. ** Note when upgrading to v3.63: Make sure to use the "Remove Recovery" in the previous version BEFORE installing the new APK. **
[3.63] The 2nd-init hijack was updated to work w/ Android 4.3 (for when that's pushed)
[3.62] Better handling for the virtual partitions
[3.62] Some bugfixes for /mnt handling
[3.62] Customizable sizes for partitions (you can use the defaults if unsure). Use the "+" or "-" buttons on the rom-slot creation screen to add / remove 100mb per click.
Enjoy

You cannot use it with encryption.
So as long as we don't have it enabled in security, were fine?
At&t version?

I just saw the tweet and thought I would share it. You'll have to double check the original thread. But it looks like (to me and I could be completely wrong) that as long as you haven't enabled encryption then you should be good.
