Tomorrow i ll try to install ubuntu on the virtuous rom,even if i don t know how to use linux without a gui very well.i need to learn all comands lol

I ll post the installation result
[HTC Desire S] kylon:
sorry about the noob question,but...

why we cannot use a gui without tightvnc?
[HTC Desire S] devwithzachary:
Well the Ubuntu img is running via the terminal emulater which is great but it doesn't emulate anything more than a keyboard and text layout. There's no easy way for Ubuntu to know what screen its running on. (Unless it was installed and bootable) therefore we have to use a vncserver to emulate a monitor and mouse input. And then connect to this to view it on your phone (or desktop).
[HTC Desire S] kylon:
so technically we need an app that run ubuntu and emulate all

like the windows 95 app
[HTC Desire S] devwithzachary:
Indeed that would do it nicely. Something I would love to work on, but its a little beyond me
[HTC Desire S] kylon:
i tested now virtuous 2.39 but ubuntu doesn t boot

it can t find bin/bash

also cyanogen nightly doesn t work anymore

the script look for files in system/bin but these newer roms have these files in system/xbin

maybe the script need to be rewritten

i ll try to change the bin path
[HTC Desire S] devwithzachary:
Hmmmm yeah, I will try to rewrite it to look in either. Let me know how it goes
[HTC Desire S] kylon:
changed path to xbin but nothing

here a screen,it has the same problem with or without the mod

stupid dropbox
[HTC Desire S] devwithzachary:
Well I shall try and fix it tomorrow. Hmmm my bash is in xbin to however so I'm not completely sure
[HTC Desire S] kylon:
Mmm,so what can be the problem?

I booted ubuntu only once,the first relase with the old unofficial cyanogen stable

Now that i have updated to the official cyano nightly , i can t boot it
[HTC Desire S] kylon:
ok,i found a cyanogen that can boot ubuntu :D

i have problem with tight vnc,seems to be different

for ex. i have to start the vnc server to change the value on xstartup

i ll try install java and the kitchen....
[HTC Desire S] devwithzachary:
Yeah sometimes vnc dosnt create the file till it is run this is a bug with vnc I guess
[HTC Desire S] kylon:
How can i open the ubuntu.img to add files?
[HTC Desire S] devwithzachary:
The easiest we is to mount the img file in Ubuntu.
[HTC Desire S] kylon:
Any good software?
[HTC Desire S] devwithzachary:
well anything that has a arm port really, I cant find any good lists but most command line programs have a port so just have to look around, but installing programs really is easier via apt-get within the .img
[HTC Desire S] kylon:
you said it doesn t load icon

but the desktop is totally white,all the gui is not working

do you have a link of the previous version?

now that java can be installed,maybe i can use that
[HTC Desire S] devwithzachary:
indeed,

I shall include the old link back in the post, but here it is as well

http://android.zpwebsites.com/ubuntu.zip
[HTC Desire S] kylon:
seems that java doesn t works

i installed it and "which java" says jre 1.6 etc..

then i go to Desktop/xda and then ./menu and ubuntu says this application require java.please install it.

now if i type which java it says nothing.... !

i don t know why

i m giving up..... :(:(
[HTC Desire S] donnyevo4g:
Hey guys im looking for some help i ran all the commands and got everything installed and up and running great my only problem is when i boot into ubuntu via vnc i only see a grey screen a mouse pointer and a white dock at the top were the normal dock should be i have the dock at the bottom its missing some things according to the picture or screenshots can someone tell me what to do or walk me threw this and help me out please i can post screenshots if you want
[HTC Desire S] devwithzachary:
Yes this is a problem with the new 11.10 release that I have yet to work out, for now you can use the old 9.04 release which you can download here http://android.zpwebsites.com/ubuntu.zip
[HTC Desire S] Fionn.Jia:
amazing ! but I'm afraid that It may be beyond my ability :(,just wish you guys have fun with it
[HTC Desire S] devwithzachary:
I have found a 'new' (well its ubuntu 10.10) build that should give us a full working UI and alot more working, once i have finished testing I will upload and update the thread...so watch this space!
[HTC Desire S] kylon:
I hope it ll be more usable
[HTC Desire S] devwithzachary:
ok new version is ready to rock, seems to be working more full UI and is a 4GB image so plenty of room to fit more apps! also includes vncserver etc built in so quicker to get it up and running, will upload and update the thread now, should be done within the hour due to my slow internet

EDIT

ok this new zip is 1.5GB big so its going to take quite a while sorry guys :P
[HTC Desire S] devwithzachary:
Still uploading, but trust me its a good one, Java is also install (forgot to say!) So once its up you can test to see if the kitchen is working, the synaptic package manager works a treat to so packages can be updated via the UI. The update will be on my server soon I hope sorry about the wait
[HTC Desire S] mikeyd85:
Does this mean I can effectively use ubuntu as I would on my desktop?
[HTC Desire S] devwithzachary:
Indeed with the new release we have full UI and Java and post programs run so long as there's a arm port/it dosnt require specific architecture to run.

But the screen shoots give you a good look while I wait for the upload
[HTC Desire S] devwithzachary:
Ok link is up on first post, please test the new 10.10 image and report back what is and isnt working, im going to head to bed now so will reply in the morning and help try to fix any problems!
[HTC Desire S] kylon:
you can use kgb archivier to compress ubuntu to 1mb or more
[HTC Desire S] mikeyd85:
Lol, I need a bigger memory card!
[HTC Desire S] devwithzachary:
I cant make the package that much smaller because it includes so much more to get everything working. you can get 8 or 16 GB cards really cheap now, so you might as well get a new one :P
[HTC Desire S] kylon:
i can t open the gui

i have a white screen
[HTC Desire S] devwithzachary:
Hmmm I know mine took a few seconds to load. Vnc is running correctly yes?
[HTC Desire S] kylon:
yes

uff....
[HTC Desire S] devwithzachary:
Hmmm I'm not sure its working well for me. Try killing vnc and create a new connection, you could also try rebooting you phone and running Ubuntu again
[HTC Desire S] devwithzachary:
Oh the only thing I did do before starting vnc was apt-get update in command line
[HTC Desire S] kylon:
i did

apt update and upgrade

now i reboot the phone

---------- Post added at 01:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:44 PM ----------

rebooted

created a new server but white screen...
[HTC Desire S] devwithzachary:
Hmmm dam I'm not sure then, I will look into it but if someone else could test it as well that would be helpful. The image is working fine on my tablet so I'm not sure
[HTC Desire S] kylon:
maybe i have to install lxde :(:(

i ll try
[HTC Desire S] devwithzachary:
Yeah that's a good idea give it a shoot
[HTC Desire S] kylon:
i m installing lxde from 1 hour !!

is it normal?
[HTC Desire S] devwithzachary:
Not at all unless you intenet is very very slow
[HTC Desire S] kylon:
i already downloaded all

it says unpacking
[HTC Desire S] kylon:
ok after 2hrs finally i have lxde! working gui!

now i can t use the comand wget to download the java package

it says bash:comand not found
[HTC Desire S] devwithzachary:
Good to hear. Java should already be installed check in the terminal
[HTC Desire S] kylon:
bash:which comand not found

i can t open open jdk java 6

is ubuntu sw center working?
[HTC Desire S] devwithzachary:
Odd Java is working for me, and no but the package manager should
[HTC Desire S] kylon:
succefully installed xda kitchen:D

where can i find package manager?

i hope it works like sw center,ie it already has a list of programs that i can download
[HTC Desire S] devwithzachary:
It will be under admin. Synaptic package manager, its used to install and manage packages which make up programs, there's a search to find stuff of Google programs to find the packages
[HTC Desire S] kylon:
now i know why the installations are so slow

my cpu usage is 100%:eek:,how can i kill process?

thanks
[HTC Desire S] blindndumb:
Hey Zack,

I downloaded the 10.10 image, Extracted in ubuntu folder in sdcard

Tried adb and terminal emulator both to write all commands

Everything was fine..

Tight VNC Server also starts with some notification like

Starting applications specified in....

Now In Android VNC Viewer, I can create the new connection with 127.0.0.1 and 5901 port but when I connect all I get is a grey screen with x marked pointer..

HELP!
[HTC Desire S] kylon:
you have to type

killall Xtightvnc

then install lxde and reconfigure /root/.vnc/xstartup using icewm & lxsession
[HTC Desire S] devwithzachary:
Indeed follow the steps in the first post
[HTC Desire S] abhishek0704:
Got upto root@localhost:\#..but not able to connect by vnc..
[HTC Desire S] abhishek0704:
I am pushong commands by android terminal...how to type ctrl+D...
[HTC Desire S] kylon:
hey i found this:

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.appbuilder.u14410p30729

EDIT:

TESTING NOW-IT IS INCREDIBLE. i can open my sd card,gnome is fully working.my cpu usage is not 100%!

there is only one script,no need to type any comand! only sh ubuntu.sh,and the ubuntu sw center is fully working

it is an ubuntu 10.10 image.i think you have to look at it =),i can t share the link of the image,i ll pm you
[HTC Desire S] devwithzachary:
This looks good however other than fixing the few problems (which he may not have done himself) this app just seems to be the same pretty much as my guide just with a better ubuntu image.

I am now testing new builds of the ubuntu image with many of the fixes he included in his image, and will update as soon as its ready, in the mean time feel free to pay but i would recommend just waiting until I have finished the new image ;)

if your using the terminal emulator app, press the menu key then go to special keys, and it will show you how to press ctrl+D
[HTC Desire S] devwithzachary:
little update, should beable to do a step better than the one from the market ;) just got to test build and upload, should be done in the morning
[HTC Desire S] kylon:
A problem of the img that i send you

You can t charge the phone while ubuntu is on,after an hour it freeze your phone(i had to remove the battery,the shoutdown combo doesn t work)

While your ubuntu can be used in charge
[HTC Desire S] devwithzachary:
[12/12/11] - Now Uploading

New 10.10 image update

New built in script in Ubuntu to start vncserver and other services on boot

SD card is accessible from within Ubuntu

Image changed to 3.5GB to fit if you have a 4GB SD Card

The ubuntu boot scripts are now on easy to use script!

More working programs (including software centre etc)

Default desktop changed back to LXDE

More apps for 'developing'

Firefox, Thunderbird, openoffice.org suite, GIMP Image Editor, Emacs Text Editor (geared towards programming), C and C++ build-essential, Java JDK, Python, TeXlive and TeXmaker LaTeX editor, Transmission BitTorrent Client, eVince PDF Viewer, File Manager, Terminal, Image Viewer, Leafpad Text Editor, Synaptic Package Manager and Ubuntu Software Center with all repositories enabled (Ubuntu Software Center is pretty and well organized - but bloated and slow), SSH server, Gnash (GNU flash player/plugin for Firefox - as there is no official generla flash pluging for armel CPUs)

Now uploading, this is a complete new build, kylon could you please test to see if this build has the charge and freeze bugs, it shouldnt but if you could check that would be great :)

(once its uploaded that is)
[HTC Desire S] kylon:
No problem =)
[HTC Desire S] devwithzachary:
New image is live, get it HERE

A side note, If this does work as well as it should I shall be making a app some what like the one you liked to kylon, It will include everything in this guide along with some extras, the app will be free but there will be a paid version for those wishing to donate
[HTC Desire S] kylon:
i can t open the link,maybe too traffic

anyway i think you can change the guide on the first page,can cause confusion
[HTC Desire S] devwithzachary:
Yup looks like the servers been knocked offline for some reason, now uploading to multiupload

update

The server died due to so to many http requests at once :P, so I have removed the files as I need my server for my websites etc

They will all be moved to multiupload, the first being my new release, the problem is my upload is max 100KB/s so going to take a few more hours likely
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Also can't download it, shows internal server error.

Swyped from my desire s running damn sweet ice cream
[HTC Desire S] devwithzachary:
see my last post :)
[HTC Desire S] devwithzachary:
ok new link is done sorry about the wait download here
[HTC Desire S] kylon:
I ll download it today.

Anyway,to fix any problem type

Apt-get update

Apt-get upgrade

After about 2hrs you ll see done

Now reboot to apply updates.disconnect,close terminal emulator.

Open terminal emulator,boot ubuntu and now you should not have any problems.

This will do a little speed up :)
[HTC Desire S] devwithzachary:
indeed there are alot of updates not installed, i will update the image with all updates once we are sure this is a good stable build
[HTC Desire S] kylon:
I m thinking to try to install updates from the updates manager,like 11.10 update,maybe in this way we could have the build 11.10 without break anything
[HTC Desire S] devwithzachary:
good idea, let me know how it goes if it does work will do this for the next build
[HTC Desire S] kylon:
it s all ok

not tried ubuntu 11 yet

i did apt upgrade,now i m using the kitchen.

it works decently,sd class 6+ are recommed,this increase the speed and the sd card can be used as an hdd:D

useful tips:

after the upgrade,open the terminal and type

sudo apt-get install preload (speed up program execution)

sudo apt-get install deborphan

sudo deborphan | xargs

sudo apt-get -y remove --purge

(remove unneeded libs)

double click on the ubuntu panel->proprieties->check autohide->save

apt-get autoclean

now reboot to apply updates
[HTC Desire S] devwithzachary:
The first version of the app is now online, the UI is basic but It guides you through the install and give a easy way to download the newest version I have built.

You can download the app here

And I have made a donation version for those that want to support me, its only 99p and you will be the first to get new builds and features! this can be download here
[HTC Desire S] kylon:
I can t upgrade to v11,it says me:

I can t use manager because an app(like apt-get or aptude) is using it.installation qborted.pls close that app.

Something like that
[HTC Desire S] devwithzachary:
Thats a shame, I figured as much but will work on that for sure, my next goal is to build a new release with all updates and maybe a few more apps, then also update the app with a better UI after I have had some feedback
[HTC Desire S] gordo79:
Hi there installed every thing in the app, but when it comes to connecting vnc I get connection refused any idea why? running oxgen rom if that helps
[HTC Desire S] devwithzachary:
Hmm odd, Try waiting a few seconds after running the command line commands before connecting to make sure its completely up and running.

The only other thing could be your vnc setting are wrong
[HTC Desire S] gordo79:
Tried waiting, re-downloaded all files, even swapped to cm7 and still get the same message connection refused. Here are screen shots of everything I'm doing.
[HTC Desire S] devwithzachary:
In the terminal screen shoot the last line shows the problem "exiting chroot and syncing memory...." This is a problem I have found a few people on other devices have had..however your the first to get it on the desire S.

Also the address should be set to localhost.

all I can say is, are you sure your using the newest V3 ubuntu image and the ubuntu.sh that came with it as the scripts and images do not interchange very well.

If your still getting this error, then its not device specific as I was think and so I will need to step up the development and get it fixed asap
[HTC Desire S] gordo79:
Yep everything I installed was from the links in your app. Tried localhost in address and same thing. Cheers for the fast reply and help
[HTC Desire S] cwhitney24:
I'm actually having the same issues on my HTC Inspire 4G

Sorry thought I was posting the app thread that u had lol

I got your 10 char right here
[HTC Desire S] devwithzachary:
Yup, this seems to be the main problem/only problem with the script and build, but I cant for the life of me whats going wrong, time to troll through some error logs i guess :P
[HTC Desire S] cwhitney24:
O what fun! Lmao

All apart of what we are addicted to here. :)

I got your 10 char right here

So this seems to be the standard of all standard mods for Sense 3 so I thought I'd port it first and post it for everyone to use.

Requirements

rooted

using a

DEODEXED

ROM

must know how to use ADB or have CWM installed

I used Paul's deodexed stock ROM to build this from.

Had my buddy jface test it out and it seems to be working, here's a screenie he sent me back

Installation

You can either flash the attached zip (untested, someone test it for me!), or push the attached SystemUI.apk to /system/app/SystemUI.apk.

MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP! Just do it. Always. It's so much easier than having to recover from a bad flash or something.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] computerkid23:
good look bro you beat me to it hahaha thanks man!!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ekoee:
Nice. Trying this out now. Now I can get rid of my profile widget lol.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] OpenMinded:
awesome mod! thanks a lot :)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] lonelyingorgeous:
Thank you! Work's great!

Lily.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] OpenMinded:
can this be merged with UOT? that mod themes the battery and also patches SystemUI.apk.

So only 1 sticks :).

The flashable zip does not work for me.

Has anyone tested to see if this works on Sense 2.1 Gingerbread ROMS?

Sadly I'm still rocking an HTC HD2 and I'm running 2.3.3 with Sense 2.1.

I don't mind being a guinea pig after a nandroid backup but I just figured I'd ask if anyone tried it yet first.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
It won't work. You will get a systemui fatal error and a force close loop.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dharvey4651:
Good to know. Does anyone here in this thread know how I can apply these same changes to my current systemui.apk?

I really like the Extended QuickSettings but I'm not too interested in running a Sense 3.0 ROM on a less than capable device like the HD2.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Romanbb:
From the code I've looked at on Sense 3 ROMs, they typically define whether something is Sense 3 or 2 compatible. So in a real-world example when you're looking at Rosie it has two completely different implementations between 2.1 and 3 and they're both there in the code base. There was no such distinction with quick settings

Dumb ranting aside, I don't see a reason why it won't work on a Sense 2.1 device running Gingerbread. Shoot me over your SystemUI.apk and I might be able to port it. No promises, blind developing sucks
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dharvey4651:
Never asked for a promise. ;) The fact that you're willing to give it a shot, even though you don't have the same device as me is MORE than enough for me.

Here's my SystemUI.apk. Just did a nandroid backup so I'm more than happy to go flash happy right about now lol.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Romanbb:
I need your com.htc.resource.apk too :D
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] m0j09987:
Undead how do I use this on ur sense rom??? I tried replacing the system app thing and it got forced close... Any suggestion?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
Should just flash right over.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] m0j09987:
Cool got it to work... The flashed worked but the replacing the system app didn't...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dharvey4651:
Here you are good sir.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MH4YSVW6
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
When you do the copy and paste method you must change the permissions. Flashing is much easier.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Romanbb:
So, I think it IS possible, but it would take quite some time to go through and merge all the changes and match up all the IDs. I don't have the time or patience to do this as it takes a long time to communicate back and fourth for one single change, or error, etc etc.

Maybe an experienced smali hacker from the HD2 can port it over?

Sorry man
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dharvey4651:
No worries. Like I said, I thought it was cool and figured it would be nice to have. I never expected you to spend a ton of time porting it over. Figured if the current one worked for Sense 2.1 then I'd try it. If not, maybe some other time. :) The fact that you even took a look at it was good enough for me.

Thanks again man.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cramtebreg:
quick setting and sleep pwer button >>> kitchen ???

Hi Romanbb,

I am trying actualy to make my own ROM for my own use ... (for the Moment:o)

and I am actually running on the original XE 1.73.401.4 with sense 3.0

I wish to have the same quick setting and turn off button but enable to use your systemUi.apk on my phone :mad:

who did you make it ??? was that made with a specific Uot kitchen ???

could you help on me for that please, I am running slowly as I am new in android system but progressing anyway.:cool:

thanks for your understanding
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] grad061980:
Is there a guide I could follow to make these changes and port to this to my device? I have found a guide for Sense 2.1, but not 3.0. I am running the HTC Hero S (Evo Design 4G) with Android 2.3.4 and Sense 3.0. Any guidance would be appreciated.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xhambone786x:
Hi Everybody,

So it goes like this. I rooted my phone for the first time and I backed up using Titanium Backup. then i downloaded rom manager. Within rom manager i flashed CWM. When i get to recovery mode and i try to reinstall packages it starts a download and a quarter of the way it gives me an error like "Failed to verify whole file signature"...and installation was aborted. After trying other varius methods posted like uninstall rom manager and rebot your phone and try again. I still had no success. So in recovery mode i thought maybe if i delete my internal storage and user data with cache data it might work (not knowing what deleting user data did). after my process of getting the phone on track i checked to see if my phone was still rooted. In my applications folder i had superuser permissions so i assumed it was still rooted. I went straight to market and downloaded Rom Manager, and tried again to flash CWM. Went into recovery and i had no success, it still gave me the same error message. I downloaded Titanium Backup to restore my files (i copied my internal storage device so i have titanium backup's files that i backed up) and when it loaded up the application said that the phone is not rooted.

So to get to the point. HOw can i get CWM on my phone? and Why was titanium backup saying my phone is not rooted when i have superuser permissions and rom manager was also using it?

Thank you.
