[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] go-away:
This is great, keep up the good work and ignore those nay-sayers ;).

I'm running it on my SG Note and it runs fine.

My (crazy) plan is to setup a fully functioning server including LAMP and able to run torrentflux. I'm about 90% there at the mo, got LAMP working although mysqld and apache2 don't seem to want to autostart. That's an ubuntu problem though, not yours.

When I'm happy that everything runs fine I will to put a big SDCard into my old Sony Ericcson E15i and run ubuntu on that. That way I can do away with my power hungry server and all those awful wires altogether. That not only saves power, but frees up space in our hallway and eliminates fan-noise and heat! :D

Regards ;)

EDIT: Well there goes that idea, looks like the old Sony Ericcson won´t even run Ubuntu cos it´s too old and low spec :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] devwithzachary:
Dam, sounded like such a good idea to :) Perhaps with the 12.04 image as it is alot lighter and people are already reporting it being much much faster, plus in future releases once I get swap working RAM limitations will not be such a problem

I certainly support the developement of products for linux based systems. However, to duplicate the overall effect of the product, ubuntu for android, it would seem to me that if you simply display the Galaxy Note, via HDMI adaptor, on a larger screen and pair NOTE with a bluetooth keyboard, using zacthespack's software would do the job. Has anyone tried this?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] zoz33:
This is exactly the setup I have. In terms of responsivness and performance it is perfect. However there are a few usability problems that prevent the setup from becoming a real desktop replacement:

*Using a mouse with android shows a pointer on android, vnc for android shows another pointer that does not move with the android pointer.

*No right-click

*Keyboard keys mapped to android functionalities are not sent to Ubuntu (ctrl, alt, home, F1, etc..)

*Mouse-scrolling is only available in the 2nd input mode

I tried using several vnc clients for android but almost all had the same issues, one of them successfully sent F1 but I couldn't open/press the android menu button which was a nuisance. I believe the vnc client should be built with keyboard input in mind.

If anyone has luck with another vnc client please advise.

Hello! I'm having a little trouble with this. I have a Galaxy Note rooted with CFroot running KJ4 kernel. I believe it supports loop devices because I have loop folders in /sys/block. It has BusyBox (see screenshot). I've tried a couple of times to install the full image but keep getting this error. Not sure if this is because it's on the SD card rather than internal memory, but don't really wanna test this if it's not the problem.

sorry can't embed images yet!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] devwithzachary:
It is down to it being on the sdcard however I will be posting info and download links on my blog today about a new V6 boot script which will fix this problem allowing you to install it where ever you like. But you can download it now from here http://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxonandroid/files/Ubuntu/ubuntuV6-script.zip/download
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] dhar8062:
That did the trick! Thank you so much for your quick response! I've tried various methods of installing ubuntu but yours is the first to work for me! Do you think you will be able to add external sd card support to the one-click boot feature of your paid app? I'll buy it straight away! Thank you again!

I know that this could possibly be a noob question, but after running it on better terminal without root were you able to get ubuntu running? I would also like to be able to run ubuntu but do not want to root my phone...

Thanks for the reply...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] mscion:
Hi. I have not pursued this further as I am waiting for ICS (hopefully sometime in March). But, according to zacthespack, you have to able to edit system folders which needs root. I agree that it would be awesome if this could be done without root.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] devwithzachary:
Indeed you need to beable to create a folder on the system partition and then mount a file within it, while I am looking at ways to do away with the root bit, busybox will still need to be installed and running
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Lhon0901:
Hey, thanks for the reply guys... Looking forward to ICS as well, though I'm not holding my breath for a root option in the new ROM. Will still keep tabs on this thread as well and hope for the best LOL... Thanks again! ^_^

It would be fantastic if we had XBMCubuntu (v11 final just out) as an option

for our Note.

http://xbmc.org/natethomas/2012/03/24/xbmc-11-0-eden/

XBMCbuntu is very similar to past versions of XBMC Live. By default, the user boots directly into XBMC, and if he/she chooses, he or she will never see the underlying OS. However, unlike Live, XBMCbuntu is now built upon a full LXDE desktop environment, which has a web browser (Chromium) with a fully updated (and updatable) version of Flash built-in and a GUI package manager ready to install and update all of the normal Ubuntu programs a typical Linux user might use. The user may now toggle between XBMC, which auto-starts, and a normal desktop if he or she chooses. And, perhaps most exciting for many users, XBMC will now be upgradeable, both from command line and from the GUI package manager, without fear of crashing the XBMC experience.

Change to VNC?

Hi, firstly thanks for this! Been debating what phone to get next, and a Galaxy Note is looking even more likely now with a bluetooth keyboard!

On a seperate thought... Is there any way to change the VNC, so I can run it with another VNC?

I.e. I'm trying to run "Smart Dog Studio's - Remote Control add-on", which currently plays nice with TightVNC. (It basically allows the Android on a PC via VNC)

However, I can only seem to run either androidVNC or Remote control. Running one kills off the other.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Aha,. scratch that,. I can use Remote Desktop where I can change the VNC port, then it fires off TightVNC!

Should of waited man..I mean I'm sure in the first quarter of next year a quad core device will be out..I have an upgrade but I know some quad cores are gonna come out so ill hold...the charge is only 6 months old? Bandwagon
[Verizon Droid Charge] ilovesoad:
Quad core devices won't be a Nexus. End of story.
[Verizon Droid Charge] adrenaline_rush:
I thought I'd chime in since I have a Charge and also a Nexus in the household. Nexus has been working perfect, no LTE dropping issues or anything like that. It does display 1 bar lower than the Charge, but that doesn't affect the performance of the phone.

This phone isn't all about the specs, but the user experience. Also with that mentality, you'll never upgrade. Technology doesn't stop :o
[Verizon Droid Charge] jager420:
Yeah but 300 dollors for a stock Android phone?...your paying that much for ice cream sandwich? ..at least when I paid full pop it was for verizon data speeds...
[Verizon Droid Charge] jager420:
Really? Nexus always wants to top the next nexus..so I'm assuming the next nexus will hold the quad core...and why wouldn't nexus go quad?
[Verizon Droid Charge] piperat:
I got the nexus also and its freaking awesome.
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
I think he was saying the first quad core won't be a nexus.
[Verizon Droid Charge] adrenaline_rush:
But it's stock 4.0! It's just no comparison to Gingerbread, no exaggerating. It's so much more refined, so much smoother and user friendly. If you can wait a few days for inventory to catch up/delivery you can get it on Wirefly for $240, Amazon ~$200?

These LTE phones are expensive at the $300 price tag, but considering Verizon has 200 million people covered by the 4G network s impressive. My are has LTE everywhere, and only T-mobile has their FauxG as well. No one else.
[Verizon Droid Charge] XDAholic:
No I'd rather pay $300 for a TouchWiZ UI.

AOSP is one of the main reasons I bought the nexus. I would gladly pay for the AOSP experience.

I have owned 3 Samsung smatphones. Fascinate, charge and Captivate. I always wondered why people complained about TW. I thought TW was a good UI. Until I used full AOSP.

The difference is HUGE. Don't get me wrong I loved my Charge minus the data drop issue, with the latest gingerbread OTA the charge became a much better device.

I am sure quad core phones will be coming soon but that's no reason to knock the galaxy nexus or someone else's purchase decision.

See, When you buy your quad core phone the next generation of android hardwarw will be just around the corner.

The bottom line is no matter which device you buy, you will always be just behind the next big thing.

The only thing you can do to combat this is buy a GOOGLE device. That way you at least will have the latest software. Just my two cents.

In system/media there is bootanimation.zip and bootaudio.mp3. If you want to edit the bootanimation look at desc.txt.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Spammaren:
Thank you, however it seems that my phone still uses the IDEOS logo as bootanimation, and that one is located in "pink-screen" mode, is it okay to delete it?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] skifyr123:
You mean the splashscreen? I believe that is located in the kernel, and not easy to edit.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Spammaren:
Well, when i boot, it doesn't use the MIUI bootanimation, it still uses stock Ideos animation, and i think that one is located in pinkscreen-mode.

Try placing the bootanimation.zip in /data/local on your phone with root explorer. Then reboot, it should work ;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Spammaren:
Hmm, it didn't work, and i even tried replacing the bootanimation.zip in cust/Dialect/SE/media (which is where i go when i go into pinkscreen-mode) with the MIUI one, still nothing.
