am I right in thinking that when the touchscreen drivers are working, I could use the USB adapter to plug in a Linux compatible USB external soundcard and run e.g. Mixxx on the tab? that would be sweeeeeet!:D

Definately interested if touch screen works. Great work so far!!!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] s14tam:
+1 Definitely would love to see ubuntu. only reason why i haven't been checking on this is because usually devs give up on these projects long before they become useful for everyday use. If there is any hope for this rom to come to fruition, i would support it in anyway i could.

No problem Coffeebeans, good to see some interest in this subject.

Thanks zoken4, this is very interesting. I will try to compile this kernel which should have the android drivers backported, after being removed from 2.6.33.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] GazaIan:
Eh I'd screw up my Galaxy Tab and do this if touch screen worked... I have just a BT keyboard and no USB adapter so I'd rather not bother until touchscreen works (and from the looks of it, thats not happening anytime soon).

On the other hand though, what applications are even compiled fr Ubuntu on ARM processors?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] adeb2:
you're probably right, and I will probably get nowhere due to my limited knowledge of the subject (long time linux user, and compiled many kernels, yet this is still quite a different ball game)

Anyway, I ordered a USB adapter and will see how far I get.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] GazaIan:
So wait moment, I have a question, since linux kernels confuse me so badly; If you backport the Android drivers into that nice Linux kernel like you mentioned at the top of this page, does that mean that most of thing things like audio, touchscreen, etc should basically at least work?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] zefie:
I briefly got this to run on my locked bootloader, using Odin instead of NVFlash.

Observations

Touchscreen works, but not in a usable state (note poitee did not say it doesn't work :P) There are some secrets to getting it to work in a pinch (ie rebooting from the login screen without external mouse/keyboard), but as stated, it is not ready for prime time. Not sure about this, one would need to redesign the driver for general OS usage, instead of for Android. (Brief video of Touchscreen with External Mouse)

Could not get Wifi to work. After compiling my own kernel, with the module, it loaded, and iwconfig could see it, but never managed to connect to my WPA AP (I'd noticed references to bcm4329, while my tab has bcm4330)

Also did not work: Bluetooth (driver loaded, no OS acknowledgement, did not delve too far), Battery Level (it charges, and Ubuntu knows, but shows no-battery icon when unplugged)

What did work: USB Host (Keyboard, Mouse, Ect), USB Slave (ADB), Brightness Control (with lag)

Untested: Sound (no external sound, did not test headphones), Camera (dmesg claims to have loaded it (kernel driver) but that doesn't mean there is a v4l interface for it (aka usable as a webcam))

How to Test

WARNING!

You will lose

ALL CURRENT DATA

stored on your tab,

including /sdcard

! I did not brick my tab doing this, but cannot guarantee anything for you. Try this as your own risk!

Each time you flash the kernel for TABUNTU, your "Custom Binary" "Flash Count" flag in Odin increases. AFAIK, this just means your warranty is VOID, and has no ill effects on the tablet.

This is not dual boot and REPLACES Android, but it is easy to revert back. However, there will be no Android OS while TABUNTU is installed via this method!

New easy way:

Download my pre-made Odin TAR

Flash via Odin

Old manual way:

Download first two files in OP

extract sgtwifi.tar.gz and ubuntu.img.gz

Rename linux.img to boot.img

Rename ubuntu.img to data.img

use abootimg to change bootimg.cfg of boot.img, you will be editing the "root=" cmdline, find /dev/mmcblk0p11 and replace it with /dev/mmcblk0p8

Create an Odin tar with data.img and your modified boot.img

Flash via Odin

The image has an auto-resizer, so when you flash the 2gb data.img, it will auto-resize on first boot, and give you a 13gb partition for your Ubuntu.

How to Restore Android

When you restore to Android via Odin, it leaves /data un-formatted. Because of this, there are a few extra steps to restore back Android completely.

Download p4_16G_32G.pit and an Odin stock dump of UEKMP

Flash them as you normally would to restore to stock.

Wait for reboot, you will get an error in the stock recovery app

When the menu appears, choose Wipe data/cache

Reboot and choose one of:

A. To go back to stock: Reflash the Odin tar without the .pit file this time

B. To go back to custom: Reflash CWM and either restore nandroid, or format /system and install a custom ROM.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] GazaIan:
Oh my, you're freaking awesome, but without WiFi and Bluetooth I can't use this :( My peripherals are BT based and with no Wifi, why bother? If Ubuntu is loading the driver though, can another program be used to make use of it, instead of relying on Ubuntu's BT control?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Edubyah:
I hope someone gets this going! I would be more than willing to donate a hefty sum for a Gtab with fully working flavor of Ubuntu.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] GazaIan:
Poitee has said on Twitter that he's done a fully working port, but is waiting for Samsung to release their ICS Kernel. Maybe that hefty donation could convince him to release it and update it later :D

You can also use Gentoo, as well. If you can connect it to WiFi then you ca probably download and build Gnome 3, or another Desktop GUI of your choice.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Edubyah:
So basically having a hacked up kernel that makes everything work is not worth Poitee's pride in craftsmanship taking a hit?.... Sounds like Google's reason for not releasing Honeycomb source has a little in common, can't say I blame him. I will be subscribing and eagerly awaiting making that donation. I just hope my bonus and the release are close (max funds), this is a MAJOR improvement over running in a terminal. Good luck Poitee and feel free to contact me if you get it working.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] GazaIan:
Well at the rate Samsung is going, we might end up seeing a Linux 3.0 or even 3.3 kernel if we're lucky, and it would be a hell of an improvement over the Linux 2.6 kernels that we're all dealing with currently. I would be glad to see any 3.x kernel in the tab but ill be honest, at this point anything will do. The Galaxy Tab 10.1 doesn't give me that same Android thrill I get with phones and the Transformer Prime devices. Tablet app support sucks, and on my tablet internet browsers are a laggy pain in the ass. Getting an entirely different OS on my tablet is like a dream come true to me so I'd be fine with anything thrown at this tab.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] roland0fgilead:
I don't care how jacked up the kernel is, I'd just be thankful for a more fully functioning build of Ubuntu. Hopefully we'll see an update from Samsung in the near future. I'm really hoping I get to make that donation soon, but Samsung seems to be taking their sweet time getting ICS onto our Tab.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] NUGZZ420:
So I kinda poked throught this thead. I was thinking about putting this on My tab

im Kinda new to linux but My roomate super into and could help be get a few things working When we Find Time. Is anyone Currently running this on there tab the thread seems to be kinda Speratic in Dates ect... of when people posted .. but If I can find time im gonna See if He can Help Me do this and See where it go's .. I was not sure if the the touch screen was functional .. I figured Multi touch was not . but My buddy is Pretty good at Reverse Eng .. So Please PM or post if your Running this and how it is going and hwere some of ur bugs may be at .. Thanks Ill let people know how it go's if I can Find The time this Week...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] stubborn_d0nkey:
Apparently the original dev is waiting for ics kernel sources or something like that...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] arashtarafar:
Sorry...it works on my p7500...smooth but without keyboard...is it no way to launch onscreen keyboard at boot?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] GazaIan:
Even if there was, you'd have a hell of a hard time typing because the touchscreen is barely functioning. Not to mention the keys are ridiculously small, since they were designed for a mouse, not fingers.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] arashtarafar:
I didn't mean working with the touchscreen...I've wireless mouse...working on putting ubuntu 10 or something...the OS recognized my device's architecture as x86(32-bit),good,isn't it?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] GazaIan:
It recognized the Galaxy Tab as x86? That's odd, it should be ARM. I mean it is an ARM tablet.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] arashtarafar:
I am surprised too...if something can make me pass the "enter username and ..." screen it will be nice...I can access the setting from the power button...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] nighthawk696969:
I have a question....Since it replaces the CWM and NOT the Android os, is it possible to dualboot?If yes how?

It says format everything and then flash the linux...

But then wouldn't be the Android os be deleted also?how to flash it with out CWM?(I can only think of flashing stock HC 3.2 with odin).

P.S.I am pretty sure that official ICS from sammy will have the 3.1.10 or higher kernel,so wiil this get us closer to touchscreen?

(http://www.htcmania.com/showpost.php?p=5154863&postcount=7)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] arashtarafar:
@nighthawk696969:

The ubuntu installer doesn't REPLACE the recovery...try it yourself...

if you have problems like rolling screen after flashing download the bootloader from this address(it's named "bootloader.tar.md5" :

https://sites.google.com/site/arashtarafar/

@The others:

WOW...I finally got it passed the installation without the keyboard!!!

Amazing speed and graphics are good...but I doesn't show battery stats and I don't have WiFi/Bluetooth...;)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] arashtarafar:
some screenshots...I finally launched the on-screen keyboard...if you want a video tell me...

Actually,I recorded a video of Ubuntu with my phone but took screens of it's playback in Honeycomb(in case of misunderstanding...).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] geekyhawkes:
What would be ideal, although not sure how possible it is would be to use the on screen keyboard but not have it displayed by hdmi out. I'm thinking layers could be the key, if the keyboard was IN a layer not output to the hdmi then we would have tabbuntu that you can hook up to any monitor and use a full size keyboard on the tab.

Just a thought.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] GazaIan:
The original package in the OP won't delete Android. There is actually an Odin package a few pages back that allows you to keep recory and but remove Android. it mkaes mounting the tablet A LOT easier.

You can actually get WiFi working, sadly poitee's instructions weren't clear enough for me to try but you can find it on Rootzwiki if you're up for it.

You could probably extend the display, though firstly, I don't even know if Ubuntu ARM can do that, secondly, I don't know if our hacked up kernel can do that, and lastly, how much funu would that be if you can't use the touchscreen? If bluetooth was working it could be heaven.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] arashtarafar:
so what is "dhd.ko"?

must I put it in my ubuntu's driver libraries and connect manually?

Question:have you ever thought of the following?:

install ubuntu,since it doesn't remove the recovery and the bootloader...then transfer a ROM using sdcard...then flash the ROM...what OS do you think it brings up?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] GazaIan:
dhd.ko is a wireless module, in Android it's in /system/lib/modules/, no idea its the same here or no, and I don't even know what to do with it.

Recovery won't flash a ROM because the partitions have changed. If it does flash it'll either screw up Ubuntu or nothing will happen.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] arashtarafar:
do you think the OS discussed here will be harmful to the tab 3G?I don't think so...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1562563

my p7500 has fairly turned into p7510 several times...do you think the warnings were required so strictly?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] GazaIan:
I don't know if the partitions are different between the two, but as long as both devices have the same partitions then you should be able to flash it.

Be aware though, its just command line, no GUI. I wanted to compile a GUI but I couldn't get WiFi working :(
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] arashtarafar:
Thanks for reminding me of not having a gui...

sorry for my ignorance.the boot.img must be mounted on a proper filesystem but the data.img has the filesystem on itself.

I am currently trying to copy some drivers over from gentoo to ubuntu...maybe I'll put Kubuntu instead...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] GazaIan:
You're going to try Kubuntu? If you do it and it works, you'd be awesome. The OtherOS movement is the best thing ever, makes me feel like I have the HTC HD2's cousin.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] arashtarafar:
sorry for my question...but I just dont't know how to deal with md5sums...can I tar my files and flash without it?(for example "ROM.tar" instead of "ROM.tar.md5")
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] GazaIan:
You probably can, there's no difference other than an md5sum being thrown on. Not sure if it's actually needed though.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] fsubartender:
Anyway to get this working on a galaxy tab 2 7.0 version?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] clark44:
Looks like this haven't been touched in over a month. Any work on where this project has went?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] arashtarafar:
There's no problem flashing .tar instead of .tar.md5

For people that think this project has been abandoned:the only thing that keeps us from testing this build everyday is that when we flash it we can't use WiFi,sound,and most important of all Android.we fear this.you know?!... ...;)

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] GazaIan:
Dude, this thread has 12 pages, and the link in my post is a direct link to the post in this thread.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] stubborn_d0nkey:
That remark came after seeing people mentioning pages several times in a short period time so I was sick of it. I usually just hope that somebody will read my sig, but I guess that is not very likely :)

Anyways, everybody doesn't use the same posts per page setting, so you can't really say the thread has 12 pages (or me saying 3 pages, or anybody saying any number of pages), since the number of pages isn't a property of the thread but of how the thread is displayed. There is a difference.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andythefan:
Hello all,

I've been a long time visitor on XDA and really appreciate the community for everything it does in advancing Android development.

I just recently got the Nexus S i9020T. It's an amazing phone, but I've been running into a few strange things. Besides the typical self-rebooting every day or so it lags... A LOT. Usually, by the end of my work day, if I haven't rebooted it manually it takes ages to do anything... opening apps, switching apps, even key presses are seconds later than they are supposed to be. It's almost impossible to operate my Nexus in this state, and it makes me disappointed as an Android user that I have to either reboot my phone every couple of hours or deal with increasingly slower responses. I have SeePU and it shows that I have low RAM every time this happens. I've read that task managers aren't at all helpful so I've tried to avoid those at all costs.

Has anyone run into this problem or know of any solutions? I don't even run that many apps. I used to use my Nexus One more heavily than I do this phone and it never lagged to this proportion before.

I'm running Cyanogenmod 7.0.3 NS (2.3.3) with the legacy build of Netarchy Kernel. This problem really seems to be directly linked with the amount of apps running and how long the phone has been active. Other than using fewer apps, what advice would you recommend?

Thanks in advance in helping me resolve this. I feel like phone is crippled in this state.

Hi guys, I'm hoping for a little help,

I have a Telstra Defy, I have upgraded to 2.2.2 through official OTA updates through Telstra, it broke my camera and I want over clocking ability.

So i want to go Cyanogen with it, but some of the 'Here's how to do it with a Telstra Defy" guides link to files that are no loner available, and with the date of the post, I'm unsure how it would go anyway as the defys only had 2.1 back then..

Some talk of c China rom, some talk of a korean rom and others a nordic one.

I got the unit second hand and am not really worried about going back to factory as long as the custom rom works.

So any information would be greatly appreciated

Thank you in advance
[Defy General] juried:
You have to root it using SuperOneClick, search defy forums.

You can get the camera running by wiping its data. It's a good idea to do a factory data reset, but you lose everything, so back up important stuff.

I upgraded from the crumby 2.2.2 Telstra excuse for android.

Been running like a demon in CM7 2.3.4 based on the nordic rom. Works fine. I even downgraded back to 2.2.2 to ensure I wasn't stuffing it right up. Had no drama.
