Sounds good. I plan on rooting my Note and trying ubuntu later this week. Does using ubuntu on the Note allow you to mulitask in the sense that I can open up multiple applications on screen, say open office, firefox and terminal at the same time. Also, say I'm using ubuntu and I decide to press home button on Note. If I then use the android task manager will I be able to return to ubuntu at the point I left off. If I can go back and forth from home to ubuntu then I could possibly play music while doing work via ubuntu which would be nice!

Also,any clue if ice cream sandwich will impact this?

Regardless thanks for your efforts!
[Android Apps and Games] devwithzachary:
Hello!

Indeed you can open lots of apps at the same time within ubuntu (of cause the more you open the slower it gets). As long as the vnc app hasn't been killed by the memory management yes you can just return back into ubuntu, and even if vnc is killed you have to do is connect and all the programs you had open etc will still be there!

And yes there would be no reason you couldnt run the android music app while running ubuntu

Question im using the lite ubuntu im trying to install jave but getting errors using command:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sun-java-community-team/sun-java6

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install sun-java6

is there a way to get this to work?
[Android Apps and Games] devwithzachary:
Java is already installed in both versions of ubuntu
[Android Apps and Games] devwithzachary:
Here is a new version of the boot script including alot of changes ad improvements alot thanks to Lubensius, the script is now alot 'smarter' and should work on a better range of devices. Can you please all test this new script so I can stamp out any other bugs before including it in the next release of the app. If you could say if the old version worked or not and then if the new one does or does not work.

Thank you

New Script
[Android Apps and Games] devwithzachary:
Also I am looking for someone to produce a couple of graphics for my apps, I require:

Promotional Graphic:

Use: In various locations in Android Market.

Specs: 180w x 120h, 24 bit PNG or JPEG (no alpha), Full bleed, no border in art.

Feature Graphic:

Use: The featured section in Android Market. Will be downsized to mini or micro.

Specs: 1024w x 500h, 24 bit PNG or JPEG (no alpha) with no transparency

Tips:

Use a safe frame of 924x400 (50 pixel of safe padding on each side). All the important content of the graphic should be within this safe frame. Pixels outside of this safe frame may be cropped for stylistic purposes.

If incorporating text, use large font sizes, and keep the graphic simple, as this graphic may be scaled down from its original size.

This graphic may be displayed alone without the app icon.

Showing off the app, app name etc much like those seen on most desktop marketplace listing.

Maybe also a small banner that users can have in the sig?

Your right its missing packages, type Java in terminal to have a look yourself.

With all these changes and images I think when I have time I will build new images with all the fixes and clean it all up, likely have to wait till the weekend mind you.

Hello everyone,

I have set up a new server that will be used for the paid apps that should give much faster downloads than the multiupload I use at the moment, it will also allow for direct downloading (i.e. when you press the button in the app the download starts you don’t have to go onto a website to download)

I would like you al if possible to try downloading the test file (the 800x480 sm Ubuntu image) and report back to me with what kind of download speeds you were getting, against what your normal download rate is.

Thank you very much

zacthespack, first for all thank you very much because this is something i was looking for a long time...it works perfectly on my LG Optimus Black P970 (with CM7.2)

One thing, i was wondering if you could please upload an img file with gnome rather than LDE or if possible give me a some hints on how to make my own img file :) (that would be great btw)

Thank you once again.
[Android Apps and Games] devwithzachary:
I will not be uploading a gnome version primarily because my backtrack release is Gnome based.

I might in the future give a better range of desktop environment but I haven't the time right now.

To build you own images check out this guide http://androlinux.com/android-ubuntu-development/how-to-build-chroot-arm-ubuntu-images-for-android/

will give you the basics, and you could then use my boot script etc

[Android Apps and Games] Koraiem:
Working on SGS+

The light image is working on Samsung Galaxy S plus I9001 incredibly (Stock ROM latest update 2.3.6).. the web works, managed to access the external sd as well as the internal one..

At first it didn't run, giving the long error code a few fellows posted up in the thread, but I moved some apps from sd back to phone and voila!

Now, any chance that audio works?? I found there's a media player but it doesn't play even the sample file that came with it.. clicking on play does nothing.. I assume VNC supports audio playback as well as video, right?? or is it something in the minimal image I'm using??
[Android Apps and Games] devwithzachary:
Indeed at the moment the boot script uses a rather low loop device which apps use if apps 2 sdcard is used.

Sadly no as VNC only carries video not audio

net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1

Ubuntu is configured with SSH and VNC servers that can be accessed from the IP:

eth0: ip 192.168.1.10 mask 255.255.255.0 flags [up broadcast running multicast]

this is potential insecure!

New 'X' desktop is localhost:0

Starting applications specified in /root/.vnc/xstartup

Log file is /root/.vnc/localhost:0.log

* Starting OpenBSD Secure Shell server sshd [ OK ]

If you see the message 'New 'X' Desktop is localhost:0' then you are ready to VNC into your ubuntu OS..

From your android device, login using address: localhost, port: 5900 and password 'ubuntu'. If VNC'ing from a different machine on the same network as the android device use the 1st address below:

Warning: cannot open /proc/net/dev (No such file or directory). Limited output.

If using androidVNC, change the 'Color Format' setting to 24-bit colour, and once you've VNC'd in, change the 'input mode' to touchpad (in settings) - and remember you can pinch to zoom. PocketCloud VNC is also a highly recommended android VNC client.

To shut down the VNC server and exit the ubuntu environment, just enter 'exit' at this terminal - and WAIT for all shutdown routines to finish!

root@localhost:/#

Then just gives me a gray screen upon connection

Edit: hold on have to get to a computer for log
[Android Apps and Games] devwithzachary:
Ok here’s another boot script to test for Ubuntu, this should still allow those that needed v4.2 to get Ubuntu to boot, to boot into Ubuntu. It should have also fixed the grey screen issues. But I have removed a lot of the extra changes for the shutdown, so not sure how well it will likely not completely shut down but it will not at least have errors.

http://zpwebsitefiles.com/apps/ubuntu/ubuntuV5-script.zip

Please test and let me know, how well it works compared to V4 and V4.2

enjoy!

Hi !

The touch screen is not responding or that's just the phone that is not responding?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] jplinux3:
thanks, my niki is dying, first i 0.05 cm of the screen are no sensitive, then have no touch nothing, so i install android, i have touch again but works awful, no i install titanium rom from josemaesra and windoes seven, flas but get stuck in align screen, so i install twins rom works but i don like it, i im trying insomia from d_train.

thanks!
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Rataplan:
:( Hmm, you don't like my Twins, it's a pitty, but I made a lot of other roms for the Nike :D , ok to get back to your question about your protocol letter W or H.

If I'm correct: W = HSDPA turned off and H = HSDPA turned on.

So from my point of view the letter H or W isn't the problem for your signal, you could try another radio and see if that makes any difference.

Goodluck

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mattgarvin:
I am pretty happy with Sideloading Apps, so as of now I have no interest in rooting my NT.

What I am wondering is, will a Nook update possibly plug the Sideloading capability? And is there a way for me to avoid Nook updates, or are they automatic when you have an internet connection?

I am new to Android, so perhaps these questions show my newness.

Thanks,

Matt
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zmobie:
I really, really doubt they would block sideloading. Afaik, it's never been done on any similar device and it doesn't need to be. A lot of people will riot :p Considering all the dev stuff they let slide on the Nook Color, this is even unlikelier to happen. The locked bootloader is/was due to Netflix requiring it, from what I gathered, so not on their own initiative.

You can firewall all the B&N apps off, or freeze them with Titanium backup if you want, or even remove them (there is a removal tool and/or list in the dev subforum). There are ways to block OTA updates with editing various system files, but they have not been confirmed to work yet (since we have not had an update yet :p), so I wouldn't mess with them. You're not rooted, and are able to do what you want with sideloaded apps, so I don't think you have much to worry about at all.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] snapplex:
I disabled mine via, /data/data/com.bn.devicemanger/devicemanager.db

change the fota mode from auto to manual.

This should prevent the device from upgrading on its own.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] xdahgary:
Can you make a script for that? or send to Indirect to add to his root script?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zmobie:
Ah, that's the info! Thanks. I forgot where it was buried :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rvr350:
Anyway to use Titanium backup to do the work, like freeze, etc? I know we haven't really have an update from B&N yet to test things out, but what files did we change in the Nook Color? I just wanna cover my bases before start messing with some important files.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jimmysuggs:
Changing fota from auto to manual shouldn't mess up any important files.

Just follow the instructions and be careful and you should have absolutely no problems.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] snapplex:
When in doubt make a copy of the original before making changes.

I'm buying a christmas present for meself. :)

It stands between Samsung Galaxy s2 and Motorola Razr.

(OR second choice Samsung Galaxy Note, or Google Samsung Nexus.)

Needs:

ok batterytime, minimum 1 day normal usage

Just the hardware stuff, dont care about ICS, it can be rooted in later

good for texting, sms, facebook, and browsing webb

dont watch much multimedia, only audiobooks and some youtube

it will hopefully replace my computer usage lot

What phone would you suggest?
[General Questions and Answers] zehnox:
I would definitely go for the SGS 2 - i've had the galaxy s for quite a while now, and it's really been amazing, and from what i have seen and hear the s2 is even better.

I have been able to pull 2 - 3 days of battery life of the sgs, so sgs s2 will probably be as endurable..

Swype is pre-installed, and once you get used to it, it really bursts your texting, facebooking and browsing :)

Haven't tried the Razr though, so maybe someone else can comment on that.
[General Questions and Answers] solox:
The Razr has 2-3* the more space for apps though. I hate to get that symbol "low internal space". How many apps could be used on SGS2?

And Razr is very good looking.
[General Questions and Answers] Kailkti:
You get 2gb for apps with sgs 2.

11gb for files, and the rest for system o.o
[General Questions and Answers] zehnox:
Isn't it possible to repartition that with clockworkmod?

And there is also a 32 gb version of sgs 2...

By the sound of your posts, I feel quite confident that you asked all of the right questions in all the right ways to make them want to help you in any way that they could.

Wow, people are really getting edgy with this whole situation with Transformer Prime.

Seriously, take a deep breath and just wait for the device to come. Its not like Asus is giving them away for free, you are paying the money and you will get it soon enough. If there is a delay, they will tell their distributors and retailers who will then relay the information to their customers..
