I've done a few different Google searches and checked around, but I can't find any guides or resources on how to get Ubuntu up and running on this phone. If anyone has any ideas or resources that could help me out, that would be really cool. Thanks!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] lightninjay:
Well, probably what your best bet will be is to set up a VNC client on a remote machine running Ubuntu and remote into it. That would seem the most feasible and plausible solution to me. Here is a link in reference to what I'm talking about. :)

I remember on the OG Dinc, people had Ubuntu images saved on their sd cards that they could open up and load through Terminal Emulator. Since no one has built an image yet, I might just build a Ubuntu image for ARM v7 and post it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] oxlong27:
More power to you. Please do. I prefer mint over ubuntu how hard would it be to make a bootable mint image? Id like ro give it a go

Parted Magic 6.3

Has any one thought about Parted Magic 6.3?

It can load from USB or CD ROM and run from RAM.

It's Linux based, so the only issue should be the drivers.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] oxlong27:
When i had my inspire you could actually use rom manager to flash the ubuntu image so everytime you boot into recovery it actually boots you into ubuntu. Wonder if that same image would work for us we have the exact same processor as the inspire
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beetmonger:
Just flashed a few days ago and really enjoying this rom. As a lurker newb, I particularly appreciate the careful and exact instructions. Thanks!

Since there doesn't appear to be an "official" q&a thread for Pinnacle (and I don't have enough posts to ask in development):

I've been getting occasional random reboots since flashing to Pinnacle. Haven't had this with other roms. It doesn't happen while the phone is idle (to my knowledge), just sometimes when I'm doing something (but never the same thing twice). Is this a memory issue? Bad flash?

I searched the development thread and saw a couple of similar issues mentioned but no suggestions are offered...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
Are you using TW launcher?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watsa:
You have to tell more than that bud. When does it happen? Does it happen on fresh pinnacle flash without any TiBU restore whatsoever?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beetmonger:
Sorry, new at this. :o I haven't tried it on a fresh flash without TiBu. Would it work to wipe cache and data or should I re-flash, too?

Edit: I'm using the Samsung Home launcher
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watsa:
yea do this

1. Try reflashing and use without TiBU for a couple of hours.

2. If you still have the problem then I am sorry my friend your phone hates TW4 launcher which is "Samsung Home" :(
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beetmonger:
Alright, I'll give it a try and report back. I can live without TW4 launcher if it means keeping the rom. ;)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beetmonger:
Haven't tried re-flashing yet, but I switched my launcher to ADW and haven't had a reboot since. Thanks!

Which rooting method do, you prefer which is the safest

[Galaxy S II General] angelomaldito:
CF-Root is the most quick and effective that I know, if you follow the guide correctly it will be safe. Unless you find a method that doesn't involve flashing, it should be the safest as well.
[Galaxy S II General] aqualeris:
Flashing CF-Root or flashing a rooted ROM directly like Lite'ning. But I would recommend you to flash CF first, perform a CWM backup and then going wild with whatever rom/kernel you want.

[HTC EVO 3D] DeMiNe0:
I find that when I flash my phone, with lets say the latest synergy, my phone will work amazingly well. Very snappy, with no lag. After a few days of use, no matter what Rom I'm on, the phone becomes less responsive, and i notice a much greater deal of lag and delays.

My phone is pretty active. It runs K9 Mail, and Touchdown Exchange. Both apps together most likely see nearly 250-500 e-mails a day. I have both set to delete mail more than 2 months old. You can see my other apps here: http://www.appbrain.com/user/DeMiNe0/apps-on-the-pg86100

I'm assuming the slowdown is caused by the numerous caches on the phone. If I clear my caches everything tends to speed back up for a few days. Is this normal for Android? I'm assuming it is(Atleast for HTC Devices), as I had this issue with my OG Evo too. Are there apps that will manage your cache so that this issue happens less often? It's just a pain having to dump my caches and then waiting 15-20 minutes for the phone to restart.
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
Out of curiosity, when you say clear your caches, what specifically are you referring to clearing? i.e. which directories?

There is definitely an issue with some android applications storing large amounts of data in their /data/data directories. Not sure there is any type of quota or limits on them either. I know I've seen the browser cache accumulate many files.

Also, in agreement and support to your observations with both the EVO and EVO 3D, HTC Sense doesn't seem to contain the most optimal code or procedures. I know when I ran CM7 (based off AOSP) on my EVO, the base OS was a lot smoother and quicker than the base HTC Sense.

As a possible solution, I think I've seen a few applications on the Market under the term wipe/clean/clear cache but I haven't tried any of them. I have thought about creating an application to fulfil this function but there seemed to be enough on the Market so I scratched the idea.

Always good to know somebody else has the same observations! Hope some of the feedback helps!
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
No effing way it should take that long to reboot. Are you on a custom ROM? Most of them boot in a minute or two. When you wipe in recovery the ONLY one you should wipe is cache, and NOT dalvik. Also, there are a few good root apps that wipe your app caches from the OS, no reboot required. Two come to mind - "cache cleaner" "cachemate". Try those, or wipe just cache in recovery not dalvik, should boot really fast.

Edit : the app "fast reboot" may help too, if it's just a bunch of open processes in your OS. It closes all of them and restarts them, without an actual reboot. You could also try a root app for memory management, like "autokiller", etc.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hackeron:
I just wanted to say that I dislike the trend of manufacturers making bigger displays. First jump was to 4.3" , then 4.5" and now we see a new HTC with 4.7".

In my opinion. Screen sizes above 4" becomes unpractical.

I love my Samsung Galaxy S. And the 4" is a reasonable size (since its light and slim).

I just want to encourage Samsung not to follow this stupid trend and hope that their future versions (sgs3?) will go back to 4" or even maybe smaller.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gsw5700:
I almost agree, I think the sgs2 is just about as big a screen as I would like to see, any larger is impractical. If we wanted a NotePad, we'd buy one

[Galaxy S I9000 General] rufmao:
A SGS with a 3.7" screen would be great.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] VexMunja:
3.7" is small... 4" is optimal imho.

I'm wondering what you'll say when galaxy NOTE arrives with 5.3 " :p
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DerivatBG:
Well technically the Samsung Galaxy Note is known to have 5.3 inches screensize so I guess they already went on the war to make the hybrid between 7 inch tablet and the smartphones.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] robogo1982:
We already had that with the Streak. Major flop.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mr Majestyk:
I won't be buying a tablet, so I'd consider the Samsung Note. yes it's big, but some people carry a tablet and a phone anyway and this is a lot more compact than that option.

Anyway no one has to buy anything they don't like; Samsung is still making phones in different sizes.

Personally although I like 4" when used as a phone, I find it too small for browsing, gps and games. In this regard the note is a nice size. If I don't get a note, I'd be happy up to 4.5" for phone along with big bump in resolution.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Jobiza:
They don't make it as 4.3"-4.5" unless most people like them, so as long as they make sgs3 as 4.3" or bigger if they see it sell best then that is their good decision.

You can wait your smaller screen for other phone than samsung galaxy s!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] itsjusttim:
Once ics comes out the soft keys will be gone, so it will just fill in. So generally same size but less bezel and wasted space.

Think Tony Starks phone as eventual endpoint. Probably not see through though.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] madd0g:
You know what's funny? Because of this quote it's better to make devices in every possible size. Each to it's own.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DerivatBG:
I just wish I will have enough money saved around April, May 2012 (my contract ends then) to get the Galaxy Note which in my opinion is a marvel, the only problem would be finding a leather pocket type case for it but for my usual use of mostly browsing and chatting and some video watching along with casual gaming it will be quite nice at 5.3" yet for phone calls I think I will have to get a BT headset to feel comfortable.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xdapao3:
I absolutely LOVE this trend, That's long been one of my biggest wishes regarding smartphones!

I even tried to replace my then smartphone with the Galaxy Tab but it didn't fit the fanny pack that I *always* use. A 5.5"/6" smartphone would be ideal for me and I will definitely change my Galaxy S for the Galaxy Note as soon as it's out and off its peak launch price!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] haloimplant:
I think we'll see 4.5" in a similar size as the SGS with a much smaller bezel in the near future. I've seen R&D on more digitizers that will reduce the need for space on the one side (right now top or bottom has the digitizer support stick out 1/4" or so from the screen).

I agree 5" could even work with a headset, I use the wired one that came with my SGS it's fine. It wouldn't be for everybody but my pocket could hold a 5" device with a small bezel (and preferably a rounded back) just fine.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] snapper.fishes:
No **** jokes yet? I am impressed.

I prefer the screen size of the S II. A lot of times the screen of galaxy S just feels a little too small.

Why should we make fun of ****? The man never hurt nobody :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] utsmaster18:
I hope that they make a 4" and the 5.3". Between the two, the person should be able to choose. And hopefully the hardware is the same that you don't lose out by buying the screen. You can charge extra for the extra screen space but don't cheap out on the processor etc.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] hackeron:
Galaxy nexus is beautiful but sadly its way to big for me. Atleast apple knows how to make a good size display. I would really like a 3.5 to 4 inch high end smartphone from samsung. Why so big display?? I watch movies on my tv and surf most of the time on my laptop. Occasionally I use my sgs for these things as well. My point is a smartphone / cellphones main priority should always be a good size to carry around and be practical.

This sends out vibes that they are targeting geeks who only look at hardware specs.

I had an iphone3gs for a year before I switched to sgs. And I really was / is happy with the sgs. But with this trend of making bigger and bigger displays you are about to lose me as a customer. And it's a saying that how you feel Is often relevant for many others as well.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Jobiza:
Why should Samsung target to 5-10% of people who wants smaller than 4.0-4.3" display?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xdapao3:
Then you don't need a top-end smartphone, period.

When I am out and about I use my smartphone practically like a

netbook replacement

, iPhone-sized screens are totally worthless to me.

Or maybe who DO USE their top-end smartphone for something more than just making calls/sending some texts/using the occasional app..?!?

Get yourself an iPhone4SS and enjoy its nice little screen then...

P.S. oh, since my last post here I have got a Galaxy S2 which has a 4.3" screen (I got it because of its RAM since I multitask a lot). I am STILL going to get a Note with its 5.3" screen (and BECAUSE OF its 5.3" screen) in 6 months or so.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Flozzo:
You really should note that the Galaxy Nexus is dimension-wise about the size of the 4,3 inch SGS2 and that it even looks smaller.

Furthermore with the coming of software buttons big screens won't be too bad as there will be less space between screen and the edge of the device.

For me 4 inch is too small and I think I always will want big, but only if it fits in my pockets. Most people who want high-end phones want big displays, companies don't target people who want smaller high end phones for a reason and that is, as explained above, because the target market would be too small for them to make it. I know the iPhone is still small but that's a different case.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ctcng:
I was thinking I was the only person in the world that disliked how things are evolving in respect to the smartphones screen size.

I think my SGS 4" screen is the maximum size I can use in order to be comfortably carried in the jeans pockets.

I've recently had the opportunity to use an HTC Desire S with a 3,7" and I enjoyed even more the overall size of the phone, so I guess my ideal screen size would be around 3,8".

My problem is that all the manufacturers are only making high-end phones with screens larger than 4".

If I want to buy a high-end Android dual-core smartphone with 3,8" there is none available in the market.

You have to choose between having an high performance dual core SoC and get a huge phone or buying a 3,8" and be (not very) happy with a 1GHz single-core SoC.

That sucks...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hackeron:
I dont mind the depth or width dimensions. Its the length that ****s everything up because if 12xx display. And they partly motivate this resolution with "optimal for movies".. Dont ppl have a TV?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hackeron:
So for you who like big displays. How far would you push it.. Since you obviously also like 5.x" as in the note..

6" 7" 8" 20" Where is your limit?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zorxd:
I bet the Galaxy Nexus is still smaller than an average wallet, mainly in thickness
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xdapao3:
For me the limit is given by the size of the fanny packs which I always use. The size of the Note is just PERFECT.

It would also fit in the back pockets of the Levi's 501 jeans I always wear but that's not an absolute requirement as I keep it in my back pockets only momentarily while I am using it and temporarily need to have both hands free to do something else.

When it first came out, I tried for a couple of days the original Galaxy Tab 7" as a smartphone replacement but it didn't fit any fanny pack so that was the end of it :)

The ultimate smartphone/screen size, for me, would be something the size of the Note but with the narrowest possible bezel to maximize the screen area...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bob fishman:
If you're only taking the one dimension in which it is smaller into account, sure, but it is a long bastard.

I agree with the OP, I'm not fond of this trend towards ridiculous giant phones and even though I have a giant head and giant hands to go with it I was initially unsure of the SGS but have come to see it as the ideal size; large but not so large that it becomes impractical.

I don't want to put a phone in my back pocket because I might sit on it and break it. I don't want to carry a bag around with me all the time firstly because I am a man and don't want to clutch some manbag at all times and secondly because I want it in my pocket where I can just reach in and get it when someone calls me and no offence to the bloke above but I, personally, would feel like a tit if I walked around wearing a bumbag or "fanny pack" and I certainly wouldn't want to have to do so to carry my phone. When I buy something I want it to be practical, convenient, and to fit into my life, I don't want to have to work around it.

I want to stick with android and when I do upgrade I want to go for something with decent specs but I don't want to have to go for some 4.5-5 inch monstrosity to do so.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xdapao3:
No offence taken. Anyway, it's not a "work around" just to carry around a "giant" smartphone, I have always used them and would always use them even if I had useless 3.5" iPhones (and maybe more so 'cause they are heavy little bricks) because I hate filling my pants pockets with a phone (of any size), house keys, car key, money, ID/driver's license and credit/debit cards.

I don't wear fanny packs around the waist, anyway. I sling them across the chest in a "manly" way :P

P.S. additionally I take advantage of its convenience and carry around also a pocket knife and, above all, the "must have" additional batteries for my smartphone...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bhu1:
I personally think bigger screens are better. They arent actually increasing the size of the device itself as they have reduced the size of the bezel and have removes the buttons and moved them onto the screens.

Keep making them big samsung but not so big that they start popping out of pockets.

Love bigger screens as we have more resolution and feels like a home theatre in my pocket.

Just try increasing speaker volume as my sgs on full volume is hardly loud when listening music. Btw the earphones are still very good.

I hope someone from samsung mobiles read this.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] oswade:
I'll have to see it in person before I make a judgement. I must admit they did a decent job of keeping the size down despite the huge screen size increase (compared to sgs its only 1cm longer, width about the same iirc). The curved shape should also make it less bulgy in out pockets i should think.

I think they are doing this so that people laugh at the pissy size of the ip4s screen... you will put them together and think... god that screen is amazing...

Still, they may be pushing the limits for the average consumer who wants a phone more than a tablet... hard to know.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hassaan123:
3.7" is an appropriate size imo
[Galaxy S I9000 General] evil-doer:
the galaxy NOTE is less wide than a normal wallet, let alone the nexus.

i dont know whats wrong with all the cry babies that think these phones are too big. do you not carry a wallet? i think the perfect size for a phone is as big as possible but still fit in your pocket comfortably. this is probably somewhere between a 5 and 6 inch screened phone with a small bezel and no buttons. again.. this would be approximately the same size as a normal wallet in width, a little taller, but also way thinner.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bhu1:
I agree. Wby are u all crying for small screen. And a big disadvantage wiyh small screens are that if screens are small ghen phone is small that means small battery which obviously means less battery life. I know bigger screens will use more battery but not a lot.

Also small screen will have limot for screen resolutions.

We cant get 1280*720 on a 3.7 inch ddvice or a 4.0 inch device.
