Ubuntu Touch port to Note-4 - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi developers,
Has anyone tried to experiment with Ubuntu Touch on Note 4. The process of porting is listed on Ubuntu's official website so I was wondering if someone might be already working for it.
Thanks!!

Actually, very interesting idea to see Ubuntu in Note 4.

Yes, I myself don't have any experience in baking a ROM from scratch, so was thinking maybe someone experienced can help me start the development.

I figured as much.
Thank you for this videoguide!!!
My adb server won't start on my os (Ubuntu 11.10 x64 bit) and i've solved the problem installing ia32-libs
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
This must be helpful for some users that have my same problem.

Would it be possible for you to create such an environment to be used as image for "virtual box" ?

I know this is a year old to the date, but would it still work on Ubuntu 12.10 environment?

The instructions are right on the Ubuntu Touch developer site. The Nexus 10 is one of the core devices supported directly by Canonical. http://developer.ubuntu.com/start/ubuntu-for-devices/installing-ubuntu-for-devices/

[Q] Getting into development and rom porting for the neo

Hey everyone,
I want to get into android development and I want to start with rom porting. It would be great if anyone could help me get started and answer a few of my questions:
Do I need anything special to start with?
Do I need a really beefy PC to do it?
What programs do I need?
Do I have to learn C++?
Is it safe to test my so called "ports"?
Do I need permision from the developer of the base rom I'm using?
Does the base have to be for the same device?
Thanks for your help and time!

You can port roms with different hardware , its safe, just make a backup because you will probably boot loop. if you port it and post it here then you will need the devs permission. The base has to be the same android version as the rom you want to port, and the base has to be for our phone.

I was going to try to port miui but now that you're doing it I might as well try to port something else. Any suggestions?

I can not tell because even I'm not good with porting, my best result with all roms try and bootanimation been blocked.
my opinion is that there is something missing in the guide, some guides say they modify the init file in boot.img for example.
What I realized is that the files that are to be created well for not having problems updater-script and build.prop.

A question about porting Sailfish Os

I want to port sailfish os to nexus 6,but there comes a problem i cant solve.I follow the porting guide and everything goes fine.When i come to 7.2.1 Building the droid-hal-device packages,i found that i cant cd to $ANDROID_ROOT in MERSDK $ chroot.The guide said that The next step has to be carried out in a Mer SDK chroot .I can only cd to $ANDROID_ROOT when in the HABUILD_SDK$ chroot.It's weird,now i cant go any further because of it.Anyone could help?
a bit late but...
I had the same problem.
Running the following lines from MerSDK solved it.
Code:
hadk
export ANDROID_ROOT=$MER_ROOT/sdks/ubuntu$ANDROID_ROOT
Running hadk resets it again.
However I don't think it is the correct way of doing it.
Could you link the porting guide? I can't seem to find it.

I see, do you happen to have any documentation on how you accomplished this then? or could you write down the rough steps so I could attempt to replicate this? Would be much appreciated

the guide is at the main post now with the files to download
I did this on Bliss OS, it works aside for the fact that in my VM the settings wont open now, but I didnt test it to see if they did before so whether or not that is an issue due to the steps provided is unknown
EDIT: The VM I use is Hyper-V
