Does anyone know if its possible to get ubuntu touch working on the new bootloader? If i cant is there anyone who would help me port it ( im new to porting and building roms but willing to learn) ?
I couldn't even get the old one to boot... Every time I tried I had to rsd back and start over as restoring a back up failed... timpohladthomas is a good man he tried teaching me how to build there for a while till my olé lady got tired of me fooling with it you may be to see if he can toss a little advice your way if he's not busy

thanks ive tried looking there but im so new to this it doesnt make much sense...within time ill figure it out tho.
You (you may be able to but this was the advise given to me) can't build on windows duel boot your PC with Ubuntu read over this a few times... this tells you were to grab the files from...I barely scratched the surface of building I'm sorry I can't offer much help I wish I was allowed to tinker

I dual booted unubutu for awhile but I had a few issues with speed but I'll check it out again and also try a few Ubuntu based distros again

So forgive me for rlbeing "that guy" but I think other people are wondering the same.
I'll try and keep this post updated with links to any ROMs and DEV Twitter/Gootle+/GITHub info so we can keep an eye on development. But first we need to know what DEVs we have on board and any current projects.
DEVs:
Known ROMs/Projects:
timbrendelaz - System Dump (Link Please?)
JackpotClavin - CWM
Remember, most projects linked in this thread are likely highly volatile to flash, so please be diligent and read the thread before using anything linked.
Note: If I'm lacking on keeping this updated and you are interested in taking over the thread please let me know. I want this to be as open and helpful to our users as possible.

I've got a system dump and I'm currently working on a ROM based on that. It wont be able to be flashed easily by the masses without CWM but I know that also is a work in progress. I will keep ya'lls updated on my progress which is slow at the moment because my wife is very pregnant

Is anyone interested in also working on usb cable triggered fastboot? IMO it's the biggest blocker for custom recovery & rom development
possibile alternative is to flash a u-boot that always enters fastboot (just for devel purposes).. well, but really it's jsut a different risk of bricking

yeah i'd be interested in that i pm'd you
Sorry for the long wait for an update, busy with the family. I'm going to be scouring the Android Development forum to add more to the list.
Hello everyone!
My name is AndroiddiordnA and I have a Motorola XPRT that I am looking to revive from the brink of extinction.
I am looking for a couple developers that are willing to work with me on three assignments.
1. Getting a stock deodexed rom .zip flashing in recovery.
2. Initial port of any form of AOSP rom (cm7-cm9)
3. Take that port and make it into a form of daily driver.
All three assignments are separate as I will be offering reimbursement for each.
Reimbursement can be discussed over PM *NOT IN THREAD*
Please let me know if you would like to help me with my project. Either message me below, or send me a PM.
Thank you,
AdA
I know very little on the development side of things, but i just wanted to say THANK YOU!
I have been searching and searching for roms for my xprt.
I was so happy to see ur post about making some.
like i said im not very good on the dev side of things, but i will do my best to help as much as i can if needed.
again, THANK U!
Rom development would be much easier if I could root this thing already :c

so currently on 2.2.2 ( .110 ) version.
would appreciate if some good gent or gents jump onto this ship and Help us all with some custom ROM, coz really froyo just cant do no justice to this phone with decent specs and potential.
If there is any kind of need , plz shoot we ll try and make for it but someone plz come overboard and give us a decnt custom ROM kernel combo
Has any type of progress been made with this yet? I certainly hope so.

I am, but I am trying to port it to my thunderbolt and my Droid x. It is kinda impossible, I have tried to install it because I made the flash able boot img, etc, but I get an error 7. Meaning that I just need to fix the update script but I am too lazy to do it right now. We can work together if u want.
I'll see if i have any free time. Doesnt ubuntu come with its own kernel?

No, I checked the phablet zip ( the generic one that is being used on android phone running Ubuntu) and it doesn't include the kernel. The phablet zip is the system (OS) only. The rest has to be flashed separately, phones that have gotten the port flash the libs, kernel, etcetera. This has to be done by us the consumers. I am trying to make a team because I have a Droid x and a thunderbolt and if I can form a team it would benefit everyone.

I'm not a dev but I'll definitely take a look at it. It;s not like this old X is getting any use anyways
If anyone need a guinea pig, I got two droid xs to try stuff on that aren't daily used.

I'd love to get the new ubuntu working on my DX. I have all the install files for my nexus 7 but haven't done it yet.
I have a feeling for the DX it won't be possible because of the locked down nature of our system/bootloader. 2nd-init is fine and good for "close to stable" ICS roms but I highly doubt we'd get a good stable running ubuntu on it.
I've been messing around with it, it will be buggy as hell but thats the nature of the X.

Hi guys, I've searched around a bit but am a little confused is it possible to downgrade from 98.18.94? I'm new to this phone but know my way around Android and Linux fairly well and can handle adb and fastboot commands. My goal is to Root and install twrp recovery followed by a new Rom. I'm not opposed to reading if I could just get pointed in the right direction. Thanks in advance

why do you use breakfast at all?
pac gets build with the build-pac.sh you dont need to run anything at all
sorry if i missed something :>
I dont know, i just started, im a noobie so i dont understand too much about it, I tough I would need to use breakfast a select my device codename to make it work, and about what you just answered, I'm completely lost lol
PAC rom imho is the easierst rom to build from source.
have a look at
https://github.com/PAC-man/pacman#getting-started
basically you have to
init a repo
sync the repo
run build-pac.sh
thats it.
make sure you have all needed programs installed for this but you should be able to find tutorials of which software you need to build android on ubuntu.
But what about the device codename? Don't need it at all?

have a look at the link i posted.
yes you need the device codename
if your device codename is ks01lte then you have to run:
build-pac.sh ks01lte
but please read the tutorial i posted, its <30 lines of text and explains ~99.9% of the build process
Thank you, if i still having trouble ill PM you

you're welcome.
Sure do that
Just a little question, is there any chance that my device isnt supported? I'm afraid of getting an error as it did when I type breakfast command.

I'm almost positive that is not supported by pac yet.
If it is supported by CM it shouldnt be a problem, iirc the script will get the needed files by cm.
If there is only an unofficial build of cm you can add the device like it is explained in the tutorial i posted.
so i think you are just hours / days away of your i9506 port of PAC.
if you've done everything correct you can be the maintainer of this rom, and then it will get official supported in nightlies ....

i just did a test run:
http://jenkins.pac-rom.com/job/volletest/device=ks01lte,label=volletest/71/console
so its not working out of the box and there seems to be no official supprt by cm yet.
you will have to add the device manually, for this the tutorial will help you.
have a look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2590142, thats an unofficial port of cm that might help you.
i haven't done this yet so i cant help you anymore sorry... but is is possible and you'll learn something by doing it. you can drop a message in the g+ community, maybe some out there can give you a hand...
Thanks, you already help me a lot dude
