[Q] Ubuntu on Notion Ink Adam?

Hi. Thinking about CPU and the big screen, I think it will be very nice to have Ubuntu in Adam. What do you think?
Also I won't want to lose Eden. So I think we need something like HTC HD2 owners have. (They can start Ubuntu from the SD card like they opening a normal application as far as I saw) What do you think? Can it be possible for our Adam tablet too?

Anything is possible just put ur mind into it

It should be similar with HTC HD2. The good thing is, their project is open source

Please let me know when a good solution is found. I am keen to have it on my Adam.

That way, I don't need to worry about the warranty issue?

I would love to see this too. Really hope that some developer here can port the ubuntu to Adam. Please please please please

Why will you install Ubuntu on Adam? Is the new Maverick Meerkat fully mature on the touchscreen?

A lot of stuff needed here. I'll make a place holder in Development section with some necessary steps and such.
If anyone wants to make this happen though we need Eden Plus to be successful as full root and unlock will be required. Help out with that process first and then we can focus on Ubuntu.

if you install natty dont forget to pin libc6 to 2.12

Ubuntu port on Adam
Check this one if it helps...

Also, I saw some activity regarding Ubuntu port to Adam on NIH and tabletroms, some while ago.

Lets hope that this comes together eventually. I'd love to try it out on Adam

Hi, I too am waiting to see the development move ahead. It seems the attention is on Honeycomb these days.
$25 for the person recognized as having ported Ubuntu successfully on the Adam, either here or on TabletROMs.

kinda tired of android
I'm kinda tired of android. I just got an HP Veer and webOS is pretty nice. Only issues I have had so far is posting to message boards like what am doing right now. I got through it but had some trouble. Sorry off topic
I have loaded ubuntu onto my adam following the steps on the dev thread. I can't post there because I new here. Well I'm not new here I just don't post much. I've been reading posts for six months now but rules must be followed! Again off topic.
Ubuntu works. I have a question. I was trying to install a USB ethernet device and ran
Code:
modprobe --list
and came up with
Code:
FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.32.9/modules.dep
I looked and only found a /lib/modules/2.6.32-1208-omap4 directory. I might have screwed up a symlink and I was hoping someone could let me know where the modules.dep file should link to.

Still waiting for tillum, rayman and paronnax to resume their work on ubuntu, especially now that nVIDIA have released the first alpha of Linux4Tegra 12, based on Natty.

I read this post by Tillum on the Ubuntu Methods development thread.
It is very disheartening to note that developers have lost interest, but that was inevitable given the low volumes and disappointment associated with the tablets. On the other hand, quite a few of us users are interested in getting a real operating system on the Adam.
I am sure that any successful port would be easily transferable to other Tegra 2 devices as well, and so efforts won't be wasted.
If we can help in any way, just let us know.

Guys look at this

I was looking to test roms on kfhd and look at the responses.We could get ubuntu soon on this

While that's all fine and dandy, this does not belong in the development section. In the future, please only post development related threads in here. Thanks.

KindleFireGuy,
This is still a work in progress and depends on many factors so do not get too excited. Eventually, we will offer this ROM although we are hoping to collaborate with others in this community who specialize in custom ROMs since we want to share the ROM, not keep it exclusively.
As soon as Canonical Ubuntu authorizes the release of the platform, we will make it available to developers first, the the end user. Having said this, we are a ways off.
Focus our efforts on CM10, Hashcode has developed a beautiful ROM for the Kindle Fire 2, I am sure he will release on for the HD 8.9" soon as well. This is what we need to be excited about - Ubuntu is a very different approach that requires docks for the home office that are not fully supported yet. When the manufacturs begin to offer a wide array of Docs then Ubuntu will be ready to launch.
We will post an official response when we are authorized to release Ubuntu.

[Great News] [Official] [CM12.1][Coming Soon]

Hello Everyone
I have come across device tree for Hima M9/CyanogenMod 12.1 with a custom Kernel. (If I'll tell you the name of either , you'd Google in a second)
The developer is a genius and trust me you'd see both of these within a month. Stay tuned for updates.
I can attach screenshots but I'd not post links as previous experiences that I had meant that people started troubling the developer and he quit the project all together. Respect the developers and read in my signature about development process and what it is actually like to be one.
This is just a confirmation and I can actually prove it to everyone who are interested.
I see many device tree updates every day so I am sure once CM12.1 is available officially, it'd open gates for all sorts of custom ROMs!
Attachments coming in few hours as I'm heading out

wow that would be awesome! cant wait to run a pure android rom on this beast
*all f***** fingers crossed*

Yay!

DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
INTRODUCTION
I am starting this forum in hope of educating my readers about ROM development according to my experiences. Further, I will highlight what is the usual developers' thought process before they decide to build a ROM for a specific device. The reasons why they usually choose a certain device or why they prefer one device over another would also be stated briefly. I also have intention of looking into ways how we can speed up ROM productions for any device and what you can do to play your part.
I UNDERSTAND YOUR FRUSTRATION FOR NO CUSTOM ROMS EVEN AFTER SOME MONTHS BUT THIS DOESNOT GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO SPAM
I am sure many of you must be really disappointed by the lack of development for your device and I know this must be frustrating when we see other devices are getting ROMS so quickly. I know many are too excited when they find a little about any OTA/ Custom ROM and sharing such news is fully justified. However, it's beyond my logic & thinking why the forums are SPAMMED for any little information they might find anywhere regardless of their sources or if it has been ALREADY POSTED. I reckon many of these threads could have been avoided by simply searching in the forum.
ROM DEVELOPMENT
I can assure you that many develoeprs are working very hard to PORT and develop different ROMS for a device. However, the reason we can not see any CUSTOM roms till yet is due to complicated nature of a device itself.
Usually developers prefer a device which is :
1. Easy to work with, less complicated to code with or in other terms DEVELOPER friendly. For example, for a while I had a real issue with HTC phones as they have too many things to work with like Bootloader, S Lock, Radios, Hboot version etc while in Nexus devices you only need to unlock your device with one fastboot command. That's all and you are ready to flash ROMs.
2. Personal preference of Device. This simply means that we all have different tastes and thus we choose different devices. A certain developer might only work for a certain brand while other might work with few brands. This has nothing to do with anything but a personal choice.
3. A device that promises reward in terms of money/self satisfaction. Developers usually go for devices which have most active users so if their intention is also to get some money out of it in terms of donation, this will work well with devices which are more in number.
4. Knowledge about a certain brand more than another.
5. MONEY TO BUY A CERTAIN DEVICE/DEVICES. Suppose a developer wants to make ROMS for Xperia L/ SP/Z and Xperia U. Yet he only has 500 dollars to choose from. He then will have to make a choice between devices and this will eventually mean that not all of the devices get the same treatment. Money is the most decisive factor why a developer doesnot chose your device but rather another. For example purpose only, if I have to choose between devices, I might prefer SP over Xperia L as I can see more future of SP than Xperia L(I might be wrong).
6. Simply he bought a device or it is gifted/donated to him
SOME REQUESTS
Please STOP bugging developers by trivial questions. Just think how many other people ask the same question and it gets very frustrating to actually work on the device itself.
Every developer has a LIFE apart from developing ROMs. They also have a family, school, work, hobbies, bad days and so much like us. So they will do it when they feel like doing it. Just sit back and relax. Enjoy your device until developer releases the ROM for your device. Asking a REASONABLE question seems plausible but asking same questions/useless questions without using brains is just STUPID. Kindly refrain from that.
If you have seen a developer who has taken the initiative to work on your device , the best thing to do is to be patient. Let him concentrate. Spamming and spamming again won't help really.Yet some users start SPAMMING developers, their twitters, blogs and accounts. That's really sad. You can discuss on the forum what you think about it but IRKING developers isnot really cool.
WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP DEVELOPERS AND SEE CUSTOM ROMS.
1. Search the form first and look for answers. DON'T start new posts/questions/threads when it is ALREADY mentioned in some other section.
2. STOP PMing/SPAMING developers but rather ask a question WHICH havenot been asked before in the forum. Do not engage in the habit of making a new forum for everything. Try to keep threads as little as possible.
3. Follow developers and see what they have updated about on their official twitter,facebook,etc rather than bugging them on different forums/social websites.
4 DONATE THEM. DONATE THEM . DONATE THEM!
The amount of efforts they put, sitting for hours in front of their PCs and I know how frustrating it gets when you try to run commands and everything seems to work yet you can not boot up your ROM. And worse, you can not find WHY really. Just a change in line in build.prop results in failure of ROM to boot up and specially working from source to build ROM is really really tough. The best thing you can do is being supportive and patient !
A ROM development requires not just EXCESSIVE amount of hardwork, time, energy and dedication but also they need MONEY to actually buy devices and try it on. They are happy and encouraged to keep on developing ROMs when they see their efforts are not wasted and they are rewarded and respected for what they do.
SOME BASICS OF ROM DEVELOPMENT
Usually this is required to make a full custom ROM
Blobs which contain hardware information which comes from hardware manufacturer like Qualcomm in case of Snapdragon processors
A fully functional device tree
Latest Android source (Or the android version source you want to build for)
Specific Custom ROM coding which is based on Android Source
Usually a device tree and kernel tree is needed before custom roms can be made available. This is a long trial and error process in which every component of hardware is made functional as usually manufacturers do not provide any code for their devices and thus new code is to be written which is very frustrating and long process!

What i pointed is where the developer actually mentioned he his working on it and the link can be sourced by anyone, and people in that thread have been checking the github as mentioned. Theres now two threads on the discussion of cm12.1 which talk similar. All you are doing is not mentioning the dev based someone who used his work without his permission. Also to add the dev replied that thread to have to say they having working booting img just some features aren't working.
Link to his github for the current work

Thank GOD
---------- Post added at 01:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:32 PM ----------
I'll be happy to donate

I'm really excited about this, because the person doing this is making amazing progress and at last count I want to say it was only Wi-Fi and one other thing not working with said developer already pretty certain that they know how to change that, it's just a lot of trial and error (any dev knows how frustrating it can be having to compile the source all over again to test a tiny change)
What this means for me, personally, is that I can do what I've done on past htc devices and knock out a fairly complete port of miui (some default miui stuff doesn't play nice during flash, like the camera app, so I'll likely include the stock m9 camera app as packaged for other phones so it doesn't rely on sense)
Anyway... ?

Cheers for side information. I know the developer and I'm pretty sure you'd get a kernel and Cm12.1 pretty soon.
Actually I Would let the developers sort out their differences themselves, for me it is Cm12.1 coming pretty soon.

Yeah. Once we have a reliable port of CM12, then porting other stuff is pretty easy. All I have to do is find a device that already has miui with the same resolution and dpi/ppi and port the assets over to the m9.
Preferably I'd like to port the miui patchrom so I can setup an automated build system to build a fresh copy every time aosp and miui are updated, but I don't have anywhere near enough time for that.

Nice to see this coming ... And for MIUI I haven't been able to use it since I change my original EVO ... It would be great to have it as an option ...

Great news

Daily reminder that CM12 is a desperately needed and coveted thingy for the m8+1.

Because what began as a open source innovating project become a commercial thing half abandonned that relies on hype (I won't develop).
First thing, Ubuntu Touch is AOSP based. CM and Oxygen (Hydrogen) are CAF based. You can't use one resources on the other (trees,...)
Second thing, Canonical have WIP branches based on lollipop and I highly recommend waiting for those.
I'm out of this thing but I follow everything

I can agree with you there. I used to use LM a little over a year back because j enjoyed the simplicity of the Ubuntu base, but then Canonical... Changed I guess would be the right way to put it. They started to make a distro that was commercialized and screwed everyone like myself over. I couldn't use a distro that made so many bad choices and gave Linux a bad face so I switched to OpenSUSE. They seem to respect user freedom at the very least.
That said, Ubuntu Touch serves as a base for another project.. Plasma Mobile. And as much as I don't care for Touch, I do like the looks of Plasma so I will try to contribute at the very least.

[ELI5] AOSP..->..Tissot? @ghpranav and lack of stable 8.0 / 8.1 trees

I'm googling while compiling this post but I just lack too much knowledge about aosp so I'm asking for some eli5 or just a link to an article where there is a well organized explanation on open source android development closely related to what I want to know here. (I prefer public sharing but PM would work too)
So, @tissot-dev (who is this? Xiaomi engineers?) published open source code for Tissot. (is this only for mi a1, who named it, when and why, what is it made from, is it build on aosp, if so in how many iterations to get to "Tissot").
What did @ghpranav do to become the standard? (What from his background contributed to his knowledge on this topic if known?)
Why can't we get a stable Oreo tree? How do we get to it?
Are unofficial builds contributing in any way and how are those built to be stable enough?
Why are officials running away from mi a1? (Few of them built a stable nougat but stopped, some even ditched doing simple fixes to make it fully functional)
Edit: Where does the Android one project come to play?
I want to learn a lot more and contribute if enough of these concepts get cleared in my head, so it's a bit technical, but I made this post to help myself and hopefully others with a compiled list of errors my brain is generating and if someone is kind enough, eli5 please, or just share a link or two, I need a bit of guidance at least to help my brain generate some good kw args for googling.
