Is it possible to develop a Slax NAND build for HD2?
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] TacoLoco:
Everything is possible, but someone needs to do it and this often depends on general or personal interest.. And as we see there isn't much interest even in Ubuntu.. Sadly..
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] hopkinskong:
I interested on this...

What's that? Linux? If yes, it should more easier to port it to the HD2...

WAIT! Where is the source code?
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] yehoo:
It's a tiny linux @ slax.org and
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] hopkinskong:
and? and what?
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] e_poole:
Oh God the suspense!!!
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] BLAST3RR:
Looks like a 'normal' Linux distro..

We already have Ubuntu if you want KDE.
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] mgojkovic:
Well its small enough to be flashed to NAND.
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] mrxkills:
yeah this would actually be interestingly enough to port its only 200 MBs not bad if only someone started getting interested into building it, does sound like quite a treat
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] AmpJack:
I'd use it. Wish I could build. D:
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] hopkinskong:
I interested on this and i want to compile it, just can't find the source...

If i can find the source, i also don't know where to start... This is my first porting!

PS: Only SD Version lol, i don't like flashing HSPL on my phone
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] NtGam1ng:
I don't know why people seem to think there is no interest in Ubuntu on the HD2 anymore, people have just switched to using the nand version of android so without the magldr version being released people can't use ubuntu on their phones, I personally have been waiting for the last few months for the magldr version to launch but it seems like the project is dead, some users have reported getting it working but no one seems willing to explain in detail how they did it, or upload a working version them selves. Back to the topic, I would love to have slax as well.
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] youngdaddytc:
great idea

this Slax is actually the best idea i've seen so far, when it comes to linux distro's on our HD2. now i can see why ubuntu is popular for desktops and laptops, and it's nice that it comes with all that bloatware so you can just run it right out of the box. in fact i currently run linux mint on my laptop and desktop at home which is very similar to ubuntu. i enjoy it a lot.

however, when it comes to our phones we dont necessarily need all that extra stuff hogging space, processor etc. if we could get Slax going, then we could choose those programs we want through the repository and who doesn't like to customize?

above all, this would also increase performance, as we've all come to learn that when it comes to computing, less programs = better. if i was in charge of the whole operation, i would suspend all linux projects right now and focus all elements on the Slax project. get this running and then branch from it.

2 big selling points...

1. size, Ubuntu 3+ gigs - Slax 200MB

2. portability. Slax is designed to be a 'pocket operating system' as it says on it's home page.

hope this gets going +1 for bringing it to attention.

Slax - your pocket operating system

I have recently uploaded guides to running Ubuntu, Debian etc at good speed under Nandroid. Check the Ubuntu Dev Forum.
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] hopkinskong:
Great, a big bump first :D

Ok, i just tried, Slackware worked on HD2 via MAGLDR(I didn't get WM6.5, so i didn't test on HaRET)

I have boot into runlevel 3(multiuser mode, hardware btn work)

but when i switch to runlevel 4, i can't start my GDM/KDE,XDE, and i have searched halfday on the web i can't find any solution...

I tried GDM for i486, it returned:

gdm-binary:cannot execute binary file

And i can't find any GDM for ARM... Hmm Yes, i find a GDM for arm, but it is debian...

So any solution?

Things need to be do more research:

Make GUI back using GDM/KDE/XDE

touchscreen?

3G?

Wifi?

I can't continue if i can't solve the GDM problem!

btw, i know slackware would very fast :P it was only ~200 MB, it would be faster if i put this on NAND, but how?
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] z3nful:
have you tried grabing the source for the GDM from wither the backtrack or ubuntu repos? with the source alone, you should be able to compile it into SLAX (if the lack of a custom kernel will let you though, ive been having that problem frequently with the BT im working on.)
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] hopkinskong:
Will it be great just grab this?

http://git.gnome.org/browse/gdm/

Thanks
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] z3nful:
I was thinking the easyist way to get it is to boot up bt or Ubuntu, go to synaptic, and find the source in there. I thougt I saw it in bt, but I can't check, all my batteries are dead lol :p

I just clone the git, then i can't continue, i received this error:

hopkins@ubuntu:~/Desktop/HD2Slackware/gdm/gdm$ ./autogen.sh
No such schema 'org.gnome.power-manager'
No such schema 'org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys'
**Error**: Script `./data/make-dconf-override-db.sh' failed

But i have installed Power Manager already

And because i can't find gdm-source/dev in the package manager, so i think the HD2 Ubuntu will have a same result...

So... What should i do?

Thanks

Update:

I just grabbed a tar.gz from their site and it already contains "configure" file, so i don't need to do autogen.sh

And now its the problem, how to cross compile that stuff?

make <-- No error, but where is the product?

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/path-of-toolchain <--- the result is same as running "make", i think it igroned my cross compile var lol

I felt sleepy, see your reply tomorrow... (Its 4:20 AM lol)

[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] hopkinskong:
I am trying to obtain another crosscompile tool first...

The product of gdm was saved in the same folder as the source code...
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] z3nful:
After you do make, do make install.

Are you compiling on pc or phone?

I've found I get less errors compiling straight on the phone, and its easier to see what went wrong, but it takes ALOT longer.

[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] hopkinskong:
I am going to compile gdm tomorrow(may be)

Cuz i can't compile my crosstool, i used crosstool-0.43, i used the last line, and fixed lots of stuff, but when i compile gcc, it returned an error...

Tomorrow i will try use a lower version of gcc...

Then i will compile gdm

I am compiling on pc, crosscompile, that why i need crosstool

hmm.. yes, if the crosstool still not work, i will use HD2 ubuntu (or maybe BT??? But i got SD BUILD of ANDROID) to compile the gdm, it will takes me a long time, cuz it not only gdm!

GDM

GNOME-SESSION

ConsoleKit

Zenity

Bla bla bla (And also i need to face dependence problem! How to know i need what required package?)

btw, "make install" is used to install gdm INTO MY PC, not the ROOTFS right?

Thanks.

UPDATE:

i am trying to access the terminal by adb, then enable 3g or wifi, then download the packages from the internet...

ADB->>SUCCESS!!! (I just copy bin/adbd from hd2 ubuntu to my slackware[same path]), modified the rc file, start the adb, then it works!!! But the device run rc.4 per 5 mins, then it lost the adb connection, then i need to reconnect...

May be something relative with this:

INIT: Id "x1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
INIT: Id "s0" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes

UPDATE2:

s0 problem sloved, i just removed the local serial line, x1 problem still continue

UPDATE3:

SH** I runined up my system lol, stuck at keyboard mapping loading... Recovered

UPDATE4:

ADB problem sloved, i just put my scripts to rc.local, not rc.4

rc.4 problem still exists, it excute that script 10 times when boot, then

INIT: Id "s0" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes

5 minutes later, it excute rc.4 10 times again!

UPDATE5:

Aha!!! Leave GDM, i am not going to use that!

I search and search in the slackware ftp, i found a KDE FOR ARM!!!!

Work: SOLVE rc.4 problem in progress (how???)

3G IN PROGRESS!!! (I can't find pppd lol)

KDE IN PROGRESS!!!

UPDATE 6:

I solve lots of dependence problem, installed lots of package to satisfy KDM, now there is no errors left(ONLY about KDM), and it WON'T START lol

i can use kppp instead of pppd so 3g problem should be solved ( I haven't tested yet)

Rc.4 problem still continue!

UPDATE 7:

kppp dependence solved, installed 5-10 package manually through adb, it returned an error, cannot find x server

lol! Xorg server was not installed! I think this makes KDE won't start, installing...
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] hopkinskong:
Aha!!!

SUCCESS!

KDE Working properly!

Things left to do:

make touchscreen back

3g

wifi

Let me Think first

Can't get touch screen back!

Kernel not recongize my touchscreen, nothing about touchscreen in /dev/input, it may because i am booting from MAGLDR, but how to make the touchscreen back with MAGLDR?

Well, I was running Vegan 5.1.1 and the tab was feeling a little glitchy, so I decided to do a clean wipe and reflash it. I loaded Vegan 5.1.1 again and loaded clemsyn's kernel. Now, slacker will make the screen go black after I log in. I can't do anything but press home to get out of it. Anybody have any idea what the problem might be?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] EwanG:
Which version of Clemsyn's Kernel? Today's latest update?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] devlop:
Originally, it was an older kernel, but today I tried the new version he just put out. Still a no go.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] New_Guy777:
Same problem

I, too, have this problem with Slacker. I just got his tablet yesterday. I immediately put Clockwork on, and flashed TnT Lite 4. Slacker was a no-good. I went to VEGAn 5 next, and both Slacker and Google Voice aren't working.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] nofear_102:

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] devlop:
I flashed my backup I created from December of the stock rom and Slacker works. I got excited and flashed Vegan 5.0 again, didn't work. I'm now running Calkulin's 1.1, which is great, but Slacker still doesn't work.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] chapsrl:
Running tnt 5.0 and i'm in the same boat. Does anyone know of a ROM that Slacker works on?

I'm running TnT 4.32 with clemsyns V6 kernel and slacker works great for me. Its worked on every ROM I've flashed, been using it pretty solid for about 2 months now.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] devlop:
What version of slacker are you running?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] karlkarloff:
I'm running 2.1.170 and like I said, no problems whatsoever.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] gkcmilner:
I couldn't get 2.1.180 from Amazon appstore to work, but the 2.0.140 from the Handango gmarket works for me. I am not sure which version Google market has.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] devlop:
That's the version I think I downloaded when I went back to stock and had it working. I'm going to give that a try right now.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] twiceover:
Any chance of getting an APK of that?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] devlop:
That worked. Apparently, something changed in the newer versions of the app not allowing it to run on the tab.

Here's a link for 2.0.140

I couldn't get slacker to work on twotapsx. But, after flashing rom to tnt lite 4.4.0, the lastest version of slacker now works.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AustinBacon:
I am running stock 2.2.1 DK28 Froyo Samsung Epic 4g and am trying to get to LBSTESTMODE to configure the gps settings. I have tried to make shortcuts through the activities of ADW Launcher, Launcher Pro, and Any Cut but LBSTESTMODE doesn't show up. I have also tried to use the dialer to type in both the eclair code (*#*#1472365#*#*) and the froyo code (*#*#3214789650#*#*). Is there someother way I could o about this? (Maybe if someone has a custom shortcut file to Launcher Pro or Any Cut?)

I do not want to root (I have already unrooted back to stock) just for GPS purposes.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] running_the_dream:
I don't know the specific dialer code for GPS settings. I usually type *#147852#

I call it the master menu. Maybe give that a shot?
[Defy General] ellisperkins:
Okay, heres my situation. Before I updated, I was running 2.1 stock, never rooted or made any mods. Then, I updated to the TmoUSA Defy 2.2 update (the one that was briefly released), and now I can no longer connect to 3g/ have EXTREMELY bad 3g reception.

Also, I can no longer boot into recovery mode (power button + volume down). When I see the Android figure with the "!", nothing happens when I touch the bottom left of the touch screen? To originally flash the 2.2 update, I simply went in to recovery, and flashed the update.zip. Im doing nothing differently now, and can no longer get into it.

My main issue I am having though, is with 3g reception. Im in the exact same spot of my house, and used to have 4 bars of 3g, and would get about 1.5mbps down, and now, Im forced onto Edge, which obviously is over 10 times slower -_-

Any help would be greatly appreciated! :D

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

UPDATE:

Okay, this is AWFUL. I did a full reset through the recovery, and cleared the cache. But that did not help at all. On top of that, my issues are worse.

My phone cannot connect to 3g, I went to my school, and there are several cell towers on campus, and I always had full bars of 3G service. And guess what? I didnt get a single bar, just 2g service.

New problems occurred, now the phone gets hot, with no programs running. I tried restarting, but that didn't work. Second, my phone died in about 2-3 hours with little to no use, 1 txt thats all. And it DOESNT CHARGE AT ALL. At first, it took a few hours to charge from 20% to full, and now, I tried charging after school, and its stuck at 0%?

Is there any way to downgrade to 2.1, including the baseband? Should I contact Motorola? I've never rooted it, just installed the official 2.2 update for the US, the one that was briefly released (deeply regretting it now :'( )
[Defy General] Dewman4life:
Try pressing both volume up and down at the same time when you see the android guy. They changed it from touching lower screen in the upgrade to froyo

Then once in recovery do a restore reset and see if that helps.

[Defy General] scrannel:
I presume you are indeed on T-Mo US? I'd start by calling their tech support, just get elevated to upper tier. Then give Moto a shot. Have you done an Operator selection search? If you go into the INFO menu -- dialer > *#*#4636#*#* > Phone information, scroll down to Preferred network type, it should say GSM auto (prl) to get 3G reception. If not, try changing it.
[Defy General] ellisperkins:
Bump? Any help would be great, I just sent an email to Motorola, but probably wont get a reply for a day or two. I can't even use my phone, it dies within 2 hours, doesn't charge, and wont even connect to 3g.....
[Defy General] ellisperkins:
Thanks! I'll try that as soon as I can turn on my phone :'( Seriously though, thanks a lot. I am going to try that as soon as possible, but as of now, its been "charging" for 4 hours now, and it still just shows the picture of the battery @ 0%, and wont boot. I honestly have no idea, I tried a few different micro USB chargers, with no luck. When I used my Galaxy S charger, it showed a "?" instead of a %", as if it was not even recognizing the battery.
[Defy General] scrannel:
I assume you have tried the charger that came with the phone and have also tried it connected to USB on a computer?

Have you tried reformatting the SD card (or tried another) -- that may affect boot. And/or have you tried booting w/o SIM? I know you updated, but it could be a coincidental battery failure.
[Defy General] ellisperkins:
Yes, that could be. But then again, it hasn't connected once to 3g after the update? I'm going to guess I have a battery failure, I kinda had a feeling that it might be that. It was so sudden though, I got great battery life, that lasted at least a full day to 2 days. And then after the update, it would hardly last 2 hours. The phone was also constantly warmer than usual, but I didn't have anything running. Im just going to hope that it was coincidental, and that right after I updated it, my battery died, and I didn't have it on GSM Auto (prl).

interesting but i kinda saw it coming, only this would make sense

it was either sprint or ATT ... and sprint doesnt like GSM

i wonder how is that going to improve reception on our atrix since we are on 850 / 1900 / 2100 band .....

or maybe by the time the merger is done i'll buy a new cellphone already

[Atrix 4G General] erick161:
I dont mind it... Tmobile is spottiest of all carriers around here, so should only make both of them better...

However, how will it work w/ the 3G/4G? They are different bands, hence why jailbroken and unlocked iphones never had access to Tmo's 3G, just edge. Does our phone support their bands as well?
[Atrix 4G General] yokozuna82:
The bands may stay the same what is it 950 and 850 so I can finally get a hd2 and get att. 3 G
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
It doesn't work that way. They will be using T-Mo's backhaul only towards LTE deployment and maybe in support of the H+. So any current phones will not be affected by this in any way, meaning you will not be able to pick up a T-Mo Nexus S and use it on AT&T 3g, nor will you be able to use an Atrix on T-Mo "4G".
[Atrix 4G General] jayjr1105:
I live in eastern PA. My wife uses Tmobile and I have ATT. We both use the Captivate (hers is unlocked). In the year or so we have been with each carrier I have dropped about 2 calls to her 20-30. Since she has been with the captivate it has been a little better because of the better phone/modem but Tmobile has been spotty for a loooong time with little improvement over the years. This should work out well for both ATT and Tmobile customers. Tmobile customers may have to pay ATT/Verizon like prices sooner or later but the trade-off for the way better coverage should be worth it. Sprint & Verizon to merge next? Sprint is clearly the weakest of the bunch now by a longshot.
