Yep, you're right. AndroidVNC doesn't send non-English chars from the Android keyboard, only sends them from the 'send text' menu command. I'll ask the developers for a fix.

Then I've searched among the free VNC clients and there are at least two which send 'special' chars:

1) Jump Desktop Free

2) Mocha VNC Lite

Also PockedCloud sends those chars, and it used to be good on Gingerbread, but I've seen that now on ICS its overlay mouse pointer doesn't work.

This issue should be reported in the FAQ.

Anyone got Wine running yet?

Hiya, I'm a complete noob to all this, and especially Ubuntu/Linux, so bear with me.

I have a full version Ubuntu 10 running nicely on my Sony Ericsson X10 (I eventually want to get a Galaxy Note to do this), but wondered how and if it was possible to install Wine? (I read somewhere that Wine may be proc dependant, so with a Sony Ericsson X10 Snapdragon, this might be the reason it's not working?)

I've tried to install by software center, but get a dependencies error, then tried via the terminal commands and got through to a point where it looks like it installed, but hasn't.

Basically my ultimate goal is to see if I could get a Linux FlashDevelop port up and running: http://www.flashdevelop.org/community/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=8360

Any pointers or tips.,. or even if it's just shooting my idea down in flames with a "Snaprdragon proc don't work" would be helpful and save me a load of time!

Cheers!

Hi,

ist Ubuntu working now? Which problems there are? Is anywhere a list of them?

Friendly Greets
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] devwithzachary:
Wine itself will run as there is a ARM port for it, however windows programs are built to run on 86x/64 bit processors so will not run on the ARM processor, so you would have to build a ARM windows program..which just dosnt happen.

Ubuntu works and on the note the only real problem is no audio as of yet, everything else should work pretty much fine

I was thinking about playing around with this.. how do I know if I have a Kernel with Loop device support ?

I'm running the N7000DXLP9 ROM with the SpeedMod K3-3 TEST Kernel.

I couldn't find any reference to loop device on the K3-3 TEST thread, is there some way to test/look for it?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] debernardis:

If you have libreoffice or openoffice on your ubuntu, you can use a shell script like the following to convert several file types to pdf. Android apps that claim to do this are really sending your file somewhere to be converted in the cloud and mostly cost some bucks.

You can do the conversion on your own device in 1-2 minutes and keep your file secure.

#!/bin/bash
time soffice --headless --convert-to pdf $1
exit

Put the file in your chroot path (e.g. /usr/local/bin ) with a name you like (e.g 2pdf), do a chmod 755.

To use it, go to the dir where the file to be converted resides and do 2pdf

After 1-2 minutes you get filename.pdf in same directory.

Who knows, some fine developer could craft a fancy interface to soffice to enjoy same result from the Android UI.

virtual keyboard.

Hi.

First of all thank you very much for this development.

I'm very happy with Ubuntu on Galaxy Note.

I suggest to use virtual keyboard within vnc client on your phone. Much better than vnc send this text feature. :)

After VNC ing to device open a terminal then

#su

#apt-get install xvkbd

Then you must set not to auto repeat keys, because it is buggy feature of xvkbd.

Todo this: Go to xvkbd property(left bottom button at corner labeled "xvkbd" ) and set "automatic click off".

With xvkbd app, Galaxy Note and Pen are working excellent.

Regards,

Robert

Great solution!!

Im interested on detailes:

Do you telnet or start ssh server and ssh ing?

I didnt found ssh server in ubuntu image so installed dropbear with apt.

Regards.

Robert
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] debernardis:
Just from the Android Terminal Emulator (this) (no need to telnet or ssh).

I've fiddled with dialog to make a terminal UI for file choosing but it renders not so well on the Terminal. So someone might come with a better idea :)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] mscion:
This is nice. On a related theme, I was wondering if one could start up certain applications found in ubuntu directly from the android screen. For example, Libreoffice or some of the math software like wxmaxima would be nice to have direct access to. I don't need the desktop environment if I just want to run an application. To do this must take several steps, like setting up an icon for app, script for starting up ubuntu and calling app and until something better works using the vnc. At the end you probably still need to properly close ubuntu. I'm sure it is more complicated than that but, regardless, it would be cool if scripts were made available that could be customized for the application you want to start from the android screen.

Thanks to all for your efforts!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] devwithzachary:
Its been a long time coming but the Complete Linux Installer has been updated to v3.1!

This is a huge update with a range of new features that will make the app far more than 'just' a installer, this complete change log is at the bottom of the post but lets take a second to look at a few of the new features!

The app now includes the boot script built in which means you only need to download the image you want, the script works for all images and has been greatly improved (see script part of change log)

The app can now also from the launch menu let you set up a image to boot on start up of android.

Alot of config settings can now be down within the app for the images (including screen size, starting vnc and ssh etc.)

We hope you enjoy the update as it has taken us quite some time to complete as much as we have!

There is bond to be more changes that just what we have said here so check it out if you have bought it already and if not your missing out ;)

Enjoy

(Most of these features will be coming to the other two paid apps however all improvements to the apps themselves will not be included in the free apps)

App

*Added a config screen on the launcher.

*Added a mount editor to the config screen where new mounts can be added.

*Added a option to turn on/off start of SSH and VNC servers.

*Added resolution settings to the config screen.

*Added auto run options, the image can now be mounted automatically when android has booted.

*Added Danish translations.

*The launcher now warn you if the image path is wrong and hide the config and start button.

*Changed the widgets and launcher to use a full image name instead of the path and script name.

*Fixed grammar and spelling for English text

*Added torrent downloads for debian and backtrack

Image

*It now asks if you want to start ssh and vnc at first boot and let you save the choices. (The complete installer app can change ssh/vnc start choices and change vnc resolution later, the free apps can do it by editing a file)

*Resolution and other settings are now saved the same place as the image itself so they are easy to edit. The file is called imagename.img.configs

*The permissions on /sdcard and /external_sd should be fixed now.

*Now the hosts and resolv.conf files are only written once, so changes the user make will now survive a restart.

*Plus a lot of changes to support the new config system, to many to mention.

Script

*Changed the script so it now look for any of our apps and use busybox from there. If none of the apps are found it will use /system/xbin/busybox instead.

*Changed the shutdown part to use the apps busybox, now it should shutdown for everyone.

*Now we write hosts and resolv.conf file only once when the image first boots. This allow changes to those files to survive restart of the image.

*Plus a lot of small changes to support the new config system.

Eveything works fine but it is so laggy that it doesnt deserve 3gb of my precious memory.

Having said that kudos to the developer, it was nice to see linux running on note...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] mscion:
Hi. I was wondering if you are using the gnome version of ubuntu 12.04. I find it quite laggy as well but the LXDE version is much better. Indeed I increased the image file to 4GB to accommodate more software and there was no sacrifice in performance. I do not know why the gnome version is so slow. I've installed 12.04 at home on my laptop (that also works as tablet) and gnome works fine. I have to admit I've gotten to like the gnome environment so I'm a little disappointed with it's performance on the Note. But least I have all the up to date software and performance using LXDE version of 12.04.

Hi,

I solved the apache problem by installing from source code (it seems an Apache ARM version problem), now I have a LAMP enviroment... but with other Ubuntu image (zacthespack images crashed after a cuple of times for me)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] maxnik1:
I am using the free Ubuntu app and I am running the full Ubuntu 12.04 image. But I've got a few problems:

1) Durring first start-up, I saw in the terminal that my memory card was not mounted. It said that "external-sd could not be found" or something like that, but I am using stock ROM, so my memory card is named "external_sd" not "external-sd", so I am thinking if this is the problem.

2) I am getting read-only errors on the desktop. I can't put anything on it.

3) When I start the ubuntu and the VNC, I get this dialog -"System program problem detected", with option to report this problem, which obviously won't help me.

Any solutions or sugestion about these problems?

Edit: Just now, I checked the boot script and everywhere it says "external_sd", so maybe the "external-sd" is only just how I saw it, but still I don't know why it fails to mount it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] Gilead8:
Hi zacthespack,

I'm curious and greatly interested with your project. But I'm a windows guy ever since. I'm a total newb when it comes to linux/ubuntu.

Quick question:

1. Can I install .exe files to my ubuntu-gNote? (from what I've read, I need wineHQ? Will that work?)

2. Will this work on RocketRom ICS v6? Speedmod Kernel (I'll try it personally when No. 1 is confirmed working.)

Thank you so much! :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] devwithzachary:
Ok if your using the complete linux installer you can always set your own mount for the external sd otherwise you will need to edit the boot script to include the mount point for your external sd.

Make sure your filesystem is mounted r/w before bootting ubuntu to fix the read only bug.

And the error some timea pops up but dosnt cause any issues after that.

No exe files will not work this are windows excutable files. Wine does allow this in desktop linux but you have to have the same processor architecture as the exe was designed for either 32bit or 64bit processors and our processor is arm.

And yes it should run

I tried debian v3 images (small, large and core) install and barely belive it is working for anyone...

Unknown id: debian

In images, init.sh has ubuntu references/variables in it...

for example: cd /home/ubuntu meanwhile home ubuntu not exists...

Can you confirm debian.sh is not working because init.sh has some bugs?

Hi,

Regards.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] mscion:
Hi robert1968. I was wondering how you would use audacity as vnc does not transmit sound. Does it convert music files to other formats? If so that might be useful.

Thanks

EDIT: Just downloaded it to my laptop. It's pretty nice! Will try to download it to Note.

EDIT AGAIN: Got audacity to intall on G Note but not sure how to properly test yet. On thing, because of some issues I have with permissions I have to open a terminal and start audacity by doing "sudo audacity". Then the audacity GUI appears on the screen with all the choices for editing. Did you get this far?

Hey People :)

I want to buy a p990..and..this is my question.

If some scratches are there on the glass over the rear cam..can i change it to delete them?.

I know that because of my poor english the answer is not quite clear. So i retype it :p

If i want to change the plastic over the rear cam what part i have to change?..

This?

This?

Or the camera itself?
[LG Optimus 2x] H84:
Bad eng back at ya :)

You change the second pic it has a plastic where the camera is,

Of curse if you schrath on the actually camera you have to change pic 1
[LG Optimus 2x] LarsPT:
Hi legolas!

In fact the P990's camera has two protective "lenses".

In picture 1 you have the actual camera lens.

In picture 2 there is a plastic transparent cover to protect the actual camera lens, so this should be the only one ever to get scratched and it is easily replaceable.

Hope this was clear (and helpful) for you :)
[LG Optimus 2x] andreilica:
The user above me said answered you very good and I think the one that is scratched for you is the Pic. 2 and that needs to be replaced. Hope it helps!

Sure its quadband IIRC but if you don't have an international plan you will be raped in roaming fees. AFAIK there is no 4g in the UK so you'll be getting 3g at best. I kept my phone in airplane mode and just used wifi wherever possible.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rignfool:
Tri-band
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
You should be able to, and I'd hazard a guess that you'll still be able to get 3G also, since the Vivid does have the "world" 3G band of 2100MHz.

Forget about LTE, though.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] r.ciesla:
Hi,

Yes it will work with no problems over 2G & 3G, but must be SIM unlocked if you want to use British SIM card.

But it will be problem with 4G LTE, because HTC Vivid (USA)/HTC Raider (Canada) is using different bands and frequencies as 700/1700/1900

Europe standard for 4G LTE is 800/2600 MHz

ATM UK is planning to use 4G LTE in year 2013 Band 7 (2600 MHz) / Band 20 (800 MHz) as standard for the rest of the Europe.

P.S. I've got Canadian version from Bell & South Korean version.

Love those phones :)
