[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] lilstevie:
This is my kit for running ubuntu 11.04 on the ASUS Transformer.

THIS IS NOT A NEWBIE SUPPORT THREAD, NON DEV QUESTIONS AND HELP ME HELP ME KIND OF POSTS ARE NOT WELCOME IN THIS THREAD, THIS THREAD IS FOR DEVELOPMENT RELATED POSTS ONLY

This thread is to replace old thread for dev information here. Use that thread for newbie support and non development related discussion in relation to ubuntu on the transformer.

This is running natively and from the eMMC so no µSD card required, at the moment only linux is supported, but a windows of the kit is coming soon.

This video shows ubuntu running on the transformer, it is slower than what is installed with this flash pack. The video is a class2 µSD card and speeds are not an example of speeds from this kit.

Updates will be available in .deb form at some point.

you will need to download an nvflashable rom, like prime.

usage

------------------------------------------------------------------

Before using this pack back up any data that you may have on your

device, this method is destructive to data, and will wipe

everything. If you plan on dual-booting with android you will need

to download a full system like prime and put the images (system.img

boot.img recovery.img) in images/

This package does not include the ubuntu rootfs. You should have

already downloaded this from the link located on this forum post

located http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?1072-ubuntu-on-the-transformer

or http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=16097869if you

haven't downloaded it yet it is 950MB so start it downloading

and grab a coffee. Decompress the gzipped tar to images/

With that taken care of, here are the instructions for use:

1) select whether you want to dual boot, and which OS you want as

your default.

2) make absolutely sure that you have backed up your data, everything

past this point is going to destroy your data.

3) run the appropriate sh for the choice you have made in step 1

flash-purelinux.sh for a pure ubuntu setup, this is no android

recovery is ubuntu single user mode.

flash-linux-android.sh for installing android and linux dual boot

with android as the default OS. To boot into linux hold power+vol-down

until prompted on screen to press vol-up.

flash-linux.sh for installing android and linux in dual boot with

android and linux, linux is the default OS, to boot into android

hold power+vol-down until prompted on screen to press vol-up.

flash-android.sh for installing android only, no linux, use this to restore

back to a android only state, this will retain the blobs-be-gone enhancement.

restore-default.sh for reverting to a factory state, this restores the emmc

layout back to how it was before running any of the scripts in this pack.

4) Boot into linux, oem-config will run giving you initial setup. For this

you will need either the keyoard dock, or to use adb.

5) To use the onscreen keyboard you need to attach the usb cable to your

computer and wait for it to boot to the language selection screen.

Make sure not to disconnect the cable from your transformer while you are

using the keyboard during initial setup.

Connect to the device with adb shell. once connected execute "DISPLAY=:0 onboard"

The onscreen keyboard will appear.

6) Enjoy the new life you have with ubuntu on your transformer.

7) Once on the internet you may like to add the tegra ppa
