Linux / Android working!

it looks like dzo has successfully been able to get android running on the vogue! there are also reports of it getting VERY CLOSE to running on the titan.
i just wanted to post here in order to attract some more exposure to the right people. right now it is working on the msm7500 chipset, though im sure those reading this will be able to engineer a way to "port"(?) it to other devices.
check it out. good luck!
currently the buttons are not working, but the touchscreen is functional (despite what the OP says, he has updated, just visit the developers page/site, below)
developers page here
instructions and discussion thread here

This is awesome news!
Let me be the first in a long line to say:
1. Congratulations! This is awesome news and will keep some older phones alive and interesting for longer still!....
2. Can't wait til this is available on the (Insert phone brand here).
I have a spare Himalaya lying around, so I might try fiddle with it and see if I can get it running on this soon...
Cheers!

Nice work! It's nice to see that we can test out Android on existing phones.

I thought himalaya could run xandux. Never paid much attention there though, my phone isn't supported :/

encouraging proof of it running on the kaiser

come on titan fans make us proud

Hahaha - add a TyTN and a StrTrk request to the batch! hahha

There's testing needing to be done! Try it on your phone, in order for us to get the kernels right.

any idea on its functionality on the wizard??

us titan users are working on it. Ethereal cut down the initrd to a very small size. Still won't boot. Basically what this is telling us is that it's probably a RAM issue. If i could get haretconsole to connect to this stupid device (can't even ping it) i'd do a dump and work from there, rearranging and all. I'm determined to get it working, and getting very frustrated in the process.

Working good on SPrint Touch!!!

Any videos?

I appreciate your work but last I checked android is for devices that don't suck!!!! sorry but the device titan your working on is well ancient and crappy try porting android to high-end devices or try non-qualcomm smartphones as it would be an interesting challenge. And alot more rewarding than trying to ressurect a dead smartphone from the stone ages.

it's your opinion, if anyone offer a new PDA to them, they can does anything whith it.
a big lot off people would like to tunning the latest Ferrari.... why?

OMG...I love the idea of running a different OS than WinMo. If we get it on the Kaiser then great...otherwise, I'm betting on my next phone running Android natively.

Any news/progress on this working on the Titan?

CyanogenMod 9 Build Help

Ok Team, I am trying to build CyanogenMod 9 for the p6800 but I am running into errors when I run . build/envsetup.sh && brunch p6800 and cant get past this error. Please see attached.

u making a wifi version too ? (p6810)

this is all still new to me, let me get the 6800 working first then I will try a 6810 just not I do not have a 6810 to try it on

First make sure to resync, I just pushed a change that you need in order to build a working rom. Also, the target you are looking for is cm_p6800-userdebug (not cm_p6800).
Just warning you, you will have major artifacting and screen discoloration issues, since I never merged in the change to mostly get rid of them in the alpha 2 build. I need to get a build up and running on the i815 before I can look into this (because the i815 is the only working tab I have on me at the moment).

Thank you locerra everything is building out and I will see what I can do

I am SUPER excited about this tablet. I have virtually no development experience, but here's what I HAVE done:
1) Built an xml driven flash gallery (by franken-coding), but basically from scratch. Experimented with motion, orientation and gravity in AS2. Built a couple of rolling flash animations.
2) Designed four websites, so have basic html/css/xml/php pipleine understanding and implementation.
3) artist gone linux enthusiast: I'm willing to learn what I have to in order to reproduce the visual effect I'm imagining. Which brings me to the gTab 7.7......
If I can help in anyway, I'm down for looking through code, file compare, digging through directories, etc. I'm certainly willing to learn.m
There are a few apps i'd like to build just because they're not out there, but could be, so any knowledge that gets me more up close and personal with my tablet, I'm totally down.
Do you guys mind kind of cliff's noting your progress and obstacles as you go? Is this the thread to ask development questions when they're specifically in regards to how the build porting process works?

aletheus, I am very new to this, last time I coded for anything android was the G1. I have setup the build environment, java, adb git, pulled the CM9 git and with the help of locerra the git they had setup for the device, I am going to try and pull the ICS Proprietary Files for my next build. I have started a build but I am sure it will be very UN-stable so I may not post it yet. If you want to help in any way im always glad to have the extra help. Iocerra has the verizon model now and I don't know if it will be easy for him to code for the 6800 but I want to help as much as I can and try to get this up and going. I am off work the next few days so this is all im going to work on

Very cool. I am only working from the p6800 right now, no laptop, no desktop. Just the tablet. It's humbling. I have found to some extent, SDK's for many different languages can operate straight from android. For example, i've got "AIDE" installed and have just begun to even wrap my head around what android is doing, as far as functionality stacks and how they go about deciding a new build version.
I'm getting an iFaraday stylus (capacitive fabric instead of rubber---i keep ruining rubber styli because i draw ALOT)--and i'm getting the keyboard dock. So this will be alot more usable as a work station all around.
Can this thing run ubuntu with an hdmi out adapter?

ubuntu

So, I have decided to compile and get ubuntu running on our devices. I have the TMO Note 4.
If anyone has a donor device, or can give me some pointers I want to get all this running nicely.
No goal is unobtainable.

I will like to see this if we can get dual boot [emoji14]

and what about miui 6? there is recently released miui 6 patchrom. Do you know miui? I am asking you this because we are two and we want to port it but we have weak knowledge. Maybe you can help us
and this is how miui 6 look like
http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=34895&extra=page=1&page=1&mobile=no
and there are some of thousands official themes for miui
http://en.miui.com/thread-112322-1-1.html

First of all i don`t think it`s nice of you to come in here and state there's no real custom roms out there for the Note 4, there's a lot of movement in the threads and developers work their butt off providing the latest and the best experience for the device. That said, let`s say i`m willing to give you a N910F donor device for development purpose, what have you got to show for it? Being a newbie ( at least your XDA account shows it ) there doesn`t seem much that shows anything worth to mention.
You sure this ain`t a cheap way of getting yourself a Note 4?

if you already have a TMO n4, why would you need a donor device?
and if dual boot works it's even easier to try it all
but porting Ubuntu does sound like a fun project, maybe you can use cm12 stuff to speed up the porting :fingers-crossed:
and i would love to help but i have no idea about porting and i'm already busy with n4 and s6 edge development
good luck though! :good:

My Apologies

My apologies, you are correct about custom roms. What I meant is we don't have MIUI, Firefox, etc. Yeah skinned versions of Android, yet some people like them.
I want to do something no one else has done, and bring something to the table.

That's all I have now is my ubuntu laptop.
What I found out is ubuntu touch is based on cm10.1.
They don't have 3g/4g/let working for some systems.
I am reading about how to compile. Hensel why I need a donor device, just in case I super brick. Bricking out my only phine would suck.
I haven't figured out how to pm, so if anyone can talk to me like via Skype, and help me learn. PLEASE!

Why would I donate you a Note 4 to brick it? lol.
Sounds like a fun project according to me. Did not heard ubuntu ported since note 2.
But have not enough money to give away a note 4.

NOTE 4 running Ubuntu/Windows10
Ladies and Gentleman,
John here, I have spent at least 5 days trying to port windows 10 to the Note 4, (turns out its not possible) windows 10 requires secure boot and bypassing this is a pain in the ass, so I've given up.... it is 5/12/2017 and I've arrived very late to this thread but I got my note 4 out of the drawer and decided to turn it into a portable Linux pc, I spent 4 weeks porting Ubuntu to the note 2 in 2015 and dropped the project because there was many issues getting all the drivers to work but so far porting Ubuntu to the note 4 is working well but it needs quite a bit of glitches to be fixed, im trying to get the 4G gsm module to work and the sound but soon this will be working great and I will share my finished product.

I also have a N910T and am willing/would love to be a part of this and help get Ubuntu working on my Note 4. I will help in any way I can.. I have been searching for a port of Ubuntu for some time now so I was VERY excited when I saw your OP. I know this might sound odd but the main reason I wanted to run Ubuntu was for native development. In the same situation as @sawdoctor I have also been trying for about a year to compile a kernel but for some reason I just can't figure it out ha. I don't have my computer with me during the day but I have my phone and plenty of time so I was looking for a way to compile the kernel source with my device. And although I obviously don't know that much about development, I figured what better way to start that running Ubuntu. It's crazy to me i couldn't find one single guide or post about how to build a kernel with the phone you want to run it on. Seems like it should be easy ha. I have have tried termux, gnu-root, cc-tools, kbox3,........you name it and I have a TB of it ha. So all rambling aside, just let me know what or if you need anything

Your Help would be greatly appreciated, currently I'm working in the graphics, the note 4 has a high pixel sensitivity and the Items are very small, resizing things isn't working too well so I'm trying to figure out away to enlarge buttons and Icons

Not at all, Ubuntu isn't sizing things properly and it's almost impossible to use the touchscreen to click buttons, can only be used with a mouse, just getting otg to work was a pain to plug in a mouse, there's some options In Ubuntu for resizing but they don't help that much.

Hmm. Well maybe resizing everything could be an acceptable approach but if windows and android have different "skins" maybe we could make a custom gnome launcher that works better with the small screen, but as far as the drivers and the kernel, is it stable, and what model have you compiled it for?

if you finished your project, i'd love to try it on my device.

Hey bro. Any progress? i just ran across a kde plasma active installer for nexus 7 that uses multirom to flash linux to ext sd. Would it maybe be possible to adapt the script to our device being that we have EFIDroid and Multisystem?

I've been working on porting Halium (needs for Ubuntu touch now) to my device, I haven't gotten the graphics to work yet but with the work I've got done so far we could get the graphics working then get other OSes that support Halium working (I.e. plasma os, sailfish, and possibly even post market os) if your still trying to get this working let me know and I'll contribute what I can to help, I still DD my n910p cause I like the form factor of my note 4, hate the glitchy issues that sprint forced into its software though. I have gotten Ubuntu to boot to a headless system setup, but that's not useful for what my end game is, its just a step in the right direction.

Call to all devs and testers

Hey guys I recently started Android development and am trying to do a CyanogenMod bring-up and I am wondering if anyone still owns tegra note and are willing to test if it is successful further I would also like to know if there are any developers owning tegra note and are willing to work on it. It'll certainly make the task easier. That's all folks I'm hoping the community isn't dead

Yeah I have an EVGA Tegra Note 7. I'm willing to experiment with builds.

I can also test your builds.

So guys I think I've made some progress although it's still not building. I'll continue to work on it if anyone is interested then here is link to my repo feel free to fork or modify or work with me by making pull-requests
p.s I'm new in xda so cant post links but you can go to my profile and then the repo
skoar/device_Tegra-Note-7/tree/cm-11.0

wow, i think it is not too late, Tegra 4 is still good for play. i hope i can test your build .

Hi, can I help you with beta tester !!!

I can help testing

i have xolo tegra note 7 can can test build.. i seriously need this tablet alive and kicking. i have basic fastboot knowledge , i own yu yureka , redmi note 3 handset and i this handset are developers fav so u can understand why i brought tegra note 7 cause custom rom gonna make this device beast. but sadly this doesn't happen, you have enlighten our hopes. i was tester for kernel and roms for few roms too.
also for more tester and fast spread news you can ask here
plus.google.com/communities/107930429626808861984

So it seems like there are still tegra note users out there good to know. Currently my exams are going on so I'm away from my lappy but once it has ended i.e, on 18 I'll get back to it. I've got it to build just got to take care of some errors. I won't be making any promises but I'll give it my all. Just sit tight for now will give build once I'm done........

I hope that this device is not abandoned.

Oww its nice to know that we Will can test!
TKS Guy!

I will gladly test this rom out also and can give feed back via bootlogs, etc. my device is just sitting here taking up space and powered off waiting for something wonderful to happen.

It's great to see so many users interested in testing but currently my final exams are going on so no development gotta focus on studies. I will again start on 24th. I've made considerable progress and I'm not abandoning this device we'll get cm on this but for the time being gather more developers it'll certainly make the task easier

It's been 1 and a half months since I started the bring up and I guess it's time for some update on the progress. First of all I was finally able to get the device tree right and buildable and .......... Hell yeah the build was able to complete. I'm pretty sure WiFi is broke but I got it to build now fixing things would be easier. But there has been some complications on the way the reason there is no cm...zip. There are .IMG files and need to be flashed from fastboot. Now about testing you guys could volunteer to fastboot these files or wait a little more probably till this Sunday.
Those guys whose exact feelings are ' I'm dyyyyyiiinnnggg to get cm on my device and super angry on nvidia guys for not giving a decent well organized device tree. I'll go on a rampage if I don't get the build' will be given the files
While
Those whose exact feeling are ' oh well it's done, great to hear but I'll like to wait till Sunday' will get the build on Sunday.
So testers choose from the above two and let me know what you want

I am the guy angry on nvidia also cm lover .. but thing is that as we know this is tablet and without wifi we can't test few things like apps stuff.. so if you can fix wifi, then I can flash fastboot IMG file only if you are sure that it will not break my tablet ?

Sailfish OS porting

This is not a request to get, rather wanting information on how possible it would be.
Would it be possible to port Sailfish with what has been open sourced for the OP5? Also, would anyone be interested if I made the resulting build available to all? I'd likely make it available regardless.

Would love to see this ported to the op5.

of course.
me to

I think it would be difficult until SFOS is based on LOS14. Right now the latest SFOS is based on CM13. There isn't an Android 6.0 kernel for the OP5...
-------------------------------------------------------------
Hybris-14.1 is out there, so porting may be possible

I will port Sailfish OS on Oneplus 5 as soon as I buy the device I don't see a problem in using the 7.x or 8.x kernel, can get it to boot with those also

Have you made any attempts at porting SFOS for the OnePlus 5?

I'm currently attempting to port SFOS for the OP5. I'm encountering some problems at the moments (bootloops, no GUI).

I've made an installable zip of SFOS 2.1.3.7 for the OnePlus 5... however, the current issue is that I cannot telnet into the device via USB to figure out where it's failing since kernel 4.4 needs some usb fix for mainline kernel testing.

22Nov17 - I found a solution to the kernel 4.4 usb_gadget issue (https://developer.ridgerun.com/wiki/index.php/How_to_use_USB_device_networking) I am now able to telnet into my OnePlus 5 with the Mer Boat Loader running. Hopefully more progress will follow.

07Dec17 - New Update. I now have UI/touch input working on the OnePlus 5. Now the rest of the debugging begins.

Good news!

Man, I forget to actually get on XDA, and someone steps up to fill the shoes I haven't been able to fill, made me remember why I like this community.

08Dec17 Update
Some more pictures of SFOS running on the OP5. I would classify this as a pre-alpha build. I will try to work out all of the bugs as soon as I can.
What Works:
GUI
Touch input
Vibration (somewhat)
What Doesnt work:
Cellular/wlan/bluetooth
Sound
Camera
Most likely other key functions...

Excellent!

This thread deserves more attention. As far as all the basic functions are working, I will switch to SFOS as my new daily driver. Thanks for your time and work :victory:

I'm working diligently to get this more stable. I won't post it until it has basic cell/wifi working. All thanks goes to my wife who gets annoyed when I'm constantly working on this project. Haha

Thanks for your hard work!

Good stance to take, mate! You have a far better chance of getting it up working than I do with most of my programming knowledge being limited to bash scripting. If you need a second pair of eyes on the code, though, I'm up for at least trying to understand it.

Could be worth looking into halium , there's porting work happening for the OP5. Sailfish os could potentially run on top of it.

I dont know how far along Halium is for the OP5. I've been trying to get ahold of MarioGrip for a few weeks now. I was able to get the UI started with the help of mal, guhl, zhxt, and many others. Check my work on github (www.github.com/xreactx) if you or anyone else wants to see where i may be wrong. My next step is to try and get the wifi to work, then cellular.

What is so especially at Sailfish OS ?
