Ubuntu jaunty supports ARM-V6 Architecture

And all the smaller Linux systems supported Pentium 2 processors slash hardware

Pentium 2 processors started at around 300mhz with smaller caches and buses then our device

Android is based on Linux our cyanogen mod system is based on 2.6.29

So in essence we should be able to port several Ubuntu / Linux flavors to our device and run them through a virtual machine off the SD card using loop device and swap or as a dual boot by flashing the Ubuntu / Linux system to what we know at the moment as the recovery partition

:) any help we can get to do this is needed anyone and everyone

Ubuntu 8.04 'Hardy heron' is compatible to

Anyone???
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] eoghan2t7:
Once i get v2.1 working proberly and uploaded i might look into this ;)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Danzano:

[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Danzano:
Biggest problem ATM is the arm 6 architecture I've downloaded natty and set up my build environment so starting to work on things now properly but regardless I know this project will take time and be frustrating
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] smg72523889:
why don't try debian?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Danzano:
I'm currently using rc1 eyecandy because I have a fetish for nice GUI s

I like what I've heard about debian but looking at screenies it just didn't look like my thing lol tbh it looked like a hollowed out version of Ubuntu

What's the benefits of debian if I did switch?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] smg72523889:
already available to download for armel -> so i think it would be easier 4 you to port (i think there are no/not so big differences between armel & armv6).

btw debian is the father of ubuntu and their repositories/paths/commands are compatible.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] pcfighter:
Repos are not compatible.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Danzano:
Ill look into armel tonight see what I gotta do :)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] airbus360:
Check this!

I got ubuntu with LXDE running. Gnome does work but takes too much memory and long time to load. LXDE is Light fast and Quicker at loading. Here is my video. But it is chrooted (running alongside android and off the sdcard)

Here is the Link

LG GT540 Running Ubuntu
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Danzano:
That's why I'm working on x11 etc to see if the GUI. Could be full size yet fast and lighter on hardware less mem 2d no hardware acceleration etc
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Danzano:
Debian lenny armel working great its stable and useable with lxde still working on it but its the most promising so far ;)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Danzano:
hey guys this is debian lenny will post pics of ubuntu running same gui later :)

So far ubuntu seems slower than debian but im trying to get ubuntu to be abit quicker

also im going to start experimenting with triple boot as in adroid then debian lenny on recovery partition and ubuntu through chroot anyone that has any advice would be good also anyways to re compile these so they run quicker would be good to is there anyway to compress etc

oh also wifi etc etc is all working reads system etc etc so is good to use not some pointless project :)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] afpereira:
my vnc server refuse to connect, can anyone help me??

now it's working but, it's all grey in 24bit color.

what is you color mode and resulotion
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] eoghan2t7:
maybe you could add a guide to the start post on how others can do this ;)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] deamonjones:
Star post tut would b great nice job!

MY ANDROIDSKY
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Danzano:
My vncserver is 24bit colour

Vncserver geometry is 1024x840

Dont know why but that resolution was best for me also if that doesnt work try 1024x800 or 860x480 etc youll find one best for you :)

Ill post a easy tutorial in start post today so everyone can have :)

Also im trying to place a linux boot.img on recovery partition but our phones mem wont hold system or data etc would it be possible to create a script where on boot it reads the sd same as hdd for pc ??

If this is possible we can have tri boot if we wanted or atleast dual :)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] smg72523889:
ok, i have to confess, that i made a guess :D

but debian 4 armel was a good hint to danzano, right? :rolleyes:
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Danzano:
Hell yeah it was also i never realized how similar arm-v6 and arm-v7 was only differences where hardware support and software support really.

Anyway trying several versions of this atm and tweaking etc

P.S START POST UPDATED AS I PROMISED MAN OF MY WORD HAHA

:):):)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] afpereira:
i can't make this to work.

i only see the mouse and the screen are grey. can anyone help me
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Danzano:
Try rebooting and play with resolution abit or 256 colour but reboot should do
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Danzano:
960x640 is the perfect res for our screen

24bit works but requires reboot

:)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] jaapstreepjan:
What do you think of dual-boot between 2 android roms? A stock rom and a custom rom?

Sent from something :)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Danzano:
In essence we can achieve tri boot say our main rom and then a custom 2.1 on recovery partition and then a linux distro running chroot or even two under chroot if your sd is big enough :)

If you are looking at dual boot and want help ill help where i can however im useless with scripts still learning
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] jaapstreepjan:
Ok.

I'm not a developer, it was just an idea

Edit: I've found this thread about dual booting 2 android roms :D

http://lifehacker.com/5826050/how-to-dual-boot-multiple-roms-on-your-android-phone

Sent from something
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Danzano:
F

From reading it id say its just a script to run multiple chroot roms thats how you run ubuntu or linux most the time so if you had say a 32gb sd you could have ubuntu debian 2.2 2.3 and 2.3.4 with about 18 gb free for music etc that app just makes it less hassle to switch if somebody could make a similar code and release it we could have this for free and have more options to boot from to :)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoofly:
I want to make my own home like lp, pandahome, adw.

none of those have everything I want

is that possible? and how could I learn to do it?

Do you write a code for it like websites?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkrodgers:
Sure, it can be done. But it's no small task. You can base it on the source for the built in launcher, but it's still not a small task if you're going to make any substantial changes or improvements. It's nothing like "writing a code for it like websites." It's full on software development.

No current root methods work on the Droid 3.

don't* work? ;)
[Motorola Droid 3] elkay:
Huh? They were asking a question. I answered it.
[Motorola Droid 3] darkmatter34:
I think he was trying to correct you with a double negative?
[Motorola Droid 3] elkay:
Except I didn't have a double negative. What he posted makes no sense, and I posted exactly what I meant to say.
[Motorola Droid 3] dancingcrab:
Simple: dotson assumed there was a comma where there wasn't.

Original: "No current root methods work on the Droid 3."

What dotson (mis-)read: "No, current root methods work on the Droid 3."

Thus he assumed he meant to say "No, current root methods don't work on the Droid 3."
[Motorola Droid 3] darkmatter34:
He wasn't correcting for a double negative, but with a double negative. The comma theory works too.

[Motorola Droid 3] Trigonous:
From y limited understanding Gingerbreak works with 2.3.3, however the D3 comes stock with 2.3.4, which has all known exploits closed. So we just have to wait until more are found, with code as complex as an OS there's always some to be had.
[Motorola Droid 3] LaTropa64:
Let's hope.
[Motorola Droid 3] Trigonous:
It should be even easier once the first OTA comes out, seeing how the moto devs access the OS is very likely to reveal an exploit, or at least point us in the right direction.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antiprophet:
Hi folks,

I am having an issue that has been driving me insane all night. It was a mix of worst-case-scenarios and my own fault. Here is what happened:

1) During a flash of a new mod (going from CM7 to NSCollab), the screen went blank. I figured that I would just go back to ClockworkMod Recovery (as I always do) and load a backup.

2) Ah yes...I resorted back to CWR 3.0.0 in order to enter CWR before. And, it's now full of errors relating to the cache.

3) Unable to restore any backups or install a new .zip due to these cache errors and I cannot format or mount the cache.

In short, I can't boot into any Android system, I can't restore a backup in CWR, I can't install a .zip from CWR and I can't format/mount the cache.

What is my next step? I don't care about any of my data, I just want a working phone. Any help is greatly appreciated!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:

what is debugging mode?

theres only three modes

- regular mode (boot into android)

- recovery mode

- bootloader mode

bootloader mode: vol up + power

Anoopa P: Hi, my name is Anoopa P. How may I help you?

Anoopa P: Hi Jack.

Jack Mabry Jr: Do you know when the 3.1 update will be rolling out for the A500 tablet?

Anoopa P: I understand your concern. I will do my best to help you.

Anoopa P: Jack, I understand that you need to know when you will receive the 3.1 update for your system.

Jack Mabry Jr: yes, that is correct, I see that other tablets have already received that update and that at least one has received the 3.2 update. I'm getting worried that Acer is not supporting the product.

Anoopa P: No need to worry Jack.

Anoopa P: Please be informed that the update processed on, in the order of the serial number.

Jack Mabry Jr: is there no way to manually update it?

Anoopa P: It is an OTA process, you will receive the alert for that.

Jack Mabry Jr: Sorry, I'm just getting a little frustrated that the process is so slow, there are some great improvements with the 3.1 update

Anoopa P: No need to worry.

Anoopa P: May I know the purchase date of your computer?

Anoopa P: 'May I know from where did you purchase computer? Is it from USA or Canada?

Jack Mabry Jr:

I bought it on July 9th at Best Buy, USA

Jack Mabry Jr: I waited to buy it until then because that was when the update was rolling out.

Anoopa P: Alright, then there will be no issue, you will receive the alert for the update soon.

Anoopa P: Please be noted that the updating process is held on in the order of the system serial number.

Jack Mabry Jr: anyway you can tell how long it will be until my serial number is reached? Have to ask that :)

Anoopa P: I understand your situation.

Anoopa P: Please be noted that it is done automatically through the database, so unfortunately I am not in a position to provide the exact date for that.

Anoopa P: Please be informed about my limitations.

Jack Mabry Jr: Ok, thank you for your time sir and your patience with me, I appreciate the assistance.

Anoopa P: It's my pleasure to assist a valued customer like you. I appreciate you for spending your valuable time with me.

Anoopa P: Jack, to conclude we have provided the information about the 3.1 update and this should help you fix the issue. If there are no additional questions on this topic, I will close the chat session.
[Acer Iconia A500] MarcusInMD:
We purchased an A500 last week. Purchased it when we heard about the update to 3.1 as well.

Since the roll out is taking an incredible amount of time by today's OS roll out standards, I think we will be taking the tablet back. It's a great piece of hardware overall, however, after reading this and many other forums we are not getting that warm and fuzzy feeling about current and future support from Acer which is really sad. Also, we have experienced many force closes with stock software which I would hope would be solved with 3.1 but I just don't want to lose out on the chance to return it while we still can.

I had a chance to look at the Galaxy 10.1 two days ago and was very impressed with it. Its a shame it's lacking some of the nicer hardware features of the A500. But I think that might be where we are headed next. It is much thinner and weighs a good deal less then the A500 and ships with 3.1 (I know, I know you all probably know this already.)
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
or...

You could simply take the time to update it yourself and have had 3.1 weeks ago.

Just an idea.
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
lol at op - purchased july 9th?

So you purchased the unit less then a week ago and are annoyed that people who purchased it months go are going to get updated first - but are unable/unwilling to just manually update?
[Acer Iconia A500] Torisen:
No, I never said I was upset, maybe a little bummed. Glad you like to be an ass though, hope that works out for you.
[Acer Iconia A500] UnicornKaz:
wish you would give the Acer A500 the chance... but I do hear you ;)

No matter how superior a product is... if supports are lacking... that kills it for me too..

On the other note... My advice is you should check out the Toshiba Thrive !!! You will definitely be happy with that one.... hardware wise... it is the best out there.... everything you need and more !!!

/ Full ports ( USB, HDMI, even full size SD card slot !! :eek:)

/ Replaceable battery & custom colors back plate !!

[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
OP i am so sorry you got an idian call center...

the way the guy speak is sooooo pre-calculated.... I hate those kind of call center who gave pre-made answer...

Patience...

PATIENCE...

how can we judge the Whole company support quality by only seeing the bad reports....

why not posting the good one?

it's a common mistakes.... we judge only the bad side, never the good... we just blind...

do 1 000 000 000 good things in your life.... but 1 mistakes... well everyone will speak about that mistake :D
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
Was not trying to be an ass - was just trying to playfully point out that you can upgrade to stock 3.1 without having to wait on Acer. :-)

Pardon if I came off rude. Was not intended :-)
[Acer Iconia A500] matrix.bharath:
Oh U Racist its India and not idian.. and not just here. in your country also they give same kind of answers. its a chat window, what do u expect a emotional drama ? and pre made answers are given when u ask them to figure out at what time will ur update be sent to your phone... its like asking to find a needle in a hay stack. so u chat with your Bangkok call center and tell us what u get from them
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
first of all calm down

Where did you see RACISM ?

it's a fact that the call center is in india and therefore it's an indian call center... what is wrong with you?

secondly

I expect more humanity yes not DRAMA what the hell.... nonsense.

where is the haystack ??? just a single request in the database and that will pull down the result, a matter of micro seconds... (I know what I speak about ok) but maybe and probably the level 1 does not have the tools to check out for sure. but anyway... always as always some answer not really clear, just made to waste time of users and money :D

third

I don't have to call my call center in bangkok, I can directly speak with someone from the ACER Care center Customer Service... no need to call... they works 7 days not 24hours but it's still good... so what else ?

last conversation I got with my care center was for summarize this

END OF CONVERSATION.
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
His terminology was 100% grammatically and idiomatically correct. When referring to something in another country whose names end in A, such as India, you would say Indian. Same for American, African, Cuban and so on.

I suggest your learn proper English usage before accusing someone of being a racist.
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
Thanks a lot....

My english neither good but at least my english is not racist :D
[Acer Iconia A500] aceflor:
There you go again, good at giving lections but not at practising yourself what you are preaching.... "Whose" and not "who's" first, but then "which" would have been the correct one anyway, and then "ends with" and not "and in".

And I am not a native english speaker myself, but I do try to speak and foremost write correctly the little english, french, spanish and german that I know. Especially if I am going to be so superior as to teach others the, how did you put it again... ah yes, "proper English usage" . Aaaahhh... the irony......:rolleyes:

As I am fully aware of, yes, thank you. And still here, in this particular sentence, I have to persist. We are not talking fine subtilities, but basics.

It reminds me indeed of this new BBC Sherlock Holmes TV series, the opening scene in the Russian (or was it ukranian) prison. Delightful, and so true....
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
Oh well, excuuuuuse me for making a bloody typo or two whilst still half asleep. At least I didn't accuse someone of being a racist because I'm too goddam thick to unsterstand what he was saying.

Oh, and what the hell is a "lection"? Hoisted on your own petard, matey.
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
It's spelt "Subtleties".
[Acer Iconia A500] aceflor:
Now, did I call you a daft prick? No, no need to be insulting. But apparently, my little prose did finds its way to your skull now, didn't it :-) ? Enjoy your Saturday, but if you have some time left, you might want to reflect on the way you are posting here in general.

Oh, and I forgot...http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/lection which is exactly what was meant here.
[Acer Iconia A500] aceflor:
Can.

But can also be written this way : http://www.encyclo.co.uk/define/Subtility

But you get an after eight for you brilliant effort.

Here's the gist of the conversation I just had with them.

Jyoti Prakash: Steven, I would like to inform you that Android honeycomb 3.1 OS Upgrade for Tablet:

Android honeycomb 3.1 was realized on 5th July'2011.

The Upgrade was started from West United states.

This Upgrade will be in phases, Customer needs to wait for his turn.

Upgrade should be automatic, Acer will not prefer Manual update from 3rd Party Website.

Not much help there either, and naturally a different answer on more time.
[Acer Iconia A500] jjnewb:
This update is nothing. I am the proud owner of a samsung vibrant smart phone. Every week they woud come out with an announcement that we would be updated to froyo 2.2 five months later the first updates started, and you had to go to a site on line to download it. So this is nothing. That is the reason I bought acer and didn't wait for the samsung 10.1, it is only one sale samsung, but I am much happier with acer.
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
someone from hanoi has shared the update I waited for, put link on my sig :D

Please guys stop to make a spelling bee wars :D we are on a IT site not litteracy site
[Acer Iconia A500] chili_red:
Thanks for the links, but I really would like a US update.
