[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] HuDuVuDu:
I have lost voice service 2x in the last 2 days. Only in the afternoon. I called sprint about it yesterday and they had me update profile. That fixed it. Then today it was fine. I took a call around 2:45pm. I was waiting for a call around 4:30pm I dialed 611 (new troubleshooting screen if you have not done it yet) and it said no voice service. I updated PRL and profile, then I got service again.

Anyone else having this happen?

(Stock - not rooted)

It was funny the lady I talked to kept asking me to remove the battery. I started having some fun with her telling her I need to find my screwdriver, and is this going to affect my warranty because this phone does not have a removable battery... "Oh you have the evo light ... That does not have a removable battery" She asked me three more times to remove the battery.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jr71x:
Lol, funny... I had some data issues, formatted everything back to factory, updated profile, and prl. Nothing. Had sprint redo their end and nothing. 30 or so minutes later and at about 1.5Mbs. Weird... The rep said to try and turn on 1.9Ghz 3g and that was all he would say, any more and it would be like rooting the phone and that got me curious as hell, what really are our phone's capability???
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tarponfly:
Having the exact problem...has happened to me 3x in 4 weeks....it's costing me tons of $ from missed business calls. No help whatsoever from sprint....Grrrrrr!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] HuDuVuDu:
Well the problem continues. I took it into a sprint store today. They updated to software to the newest. Less than an hour after I got home it started again. Called sprint again and they did another factory reset. They said they would call my tomorrow and if it happens again they ship me a new phone. I hope the new one does not have the newest hboot.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] HuDuVuDu:
Well the problem continues so sprint is sending me a new one.
[HTC Wildfire S] rezo609:
Hey guys, this is rezo609 here with a nice tutorial on how to run Ubuntu 9.10 on your HTC Wildfire S (on top of Android OS).

​

How do I do that?

1. Download two apps called:

*Terminal Emulator (Free)

http://tinyurl.com/cgtrzqm

*Android-VNC-Viewer (Free)

http://tinyurl.com/c3qmobk

2. Download ubuntu.zip (652 MB = 2.00 GB when extracted)

http://tinyurl.com/7nw2zlf

3. Extract ubuntu.zip to the root of your sdcard. make sure you have room for 2GB!

4. Run terminal and type these commands

su
cd sdcard
cd ubuntu
sh ubuntu.sh
bootubuntu
cd
sh run.sh

5. So after that is complete, get out of terminal, but DO NOT close it and open "android-vnc-viewer" you downloaded.

6. Fill in the Information as follows

Nickname: Ubuntu
Password: 123123
Address: 127.0.0.1
Port: 5901
Color Format: 24-bit color (4bpp)

7. No tap on "Connect".

8. Congrats, you now have Ubuntu 9.10 running on top of Android OS!

8a. To exit ubuntu, type "exit" in terminal emulator.

Gimmie some Videos!

http://youtu.be/3xdrZKs7-N4

Also I could use some more videos :cool:

This is not a free tutorial.....so you must give a thanks!​

:D
[HTC Wildfire S] rezo609:
F.A.Q- Got Questions??

Q: Do you have to flash anything?

A: Well, a ROM that supports loop devices like CM7

Q:Where is this running off of?

A: Ubuntu on android is basically running on top of Android OS.

Q: Will this make my phone really laggy?

A: I havent experienced on lag from it on Android but few when inside of ubuntu.

Q: Do you think this is best connected to a PC Screen?

A: Yes, I highly recommend that but I dont know if it is possible for the Wildfire S.

Q: Is this a battery hogger?

A: Not really for me, but idk what you call a battery hog.

Q: How do I exit Ubuntu?

A: just type "exit" in the command line on terminal.

Q: Do think rezo609 is the best?

A: Of course he is, he spends his time to make awsome tutorials for the people of xda :D
[HTC Wildfire S] eoghan2t7:
Nice but could you make the YouTube video work on mobile devices I just tryied to play on my wfs and YouTube said I can't because the owner has not set it to :p
[HTC Wildfire S] rezo609:
Lol ok, in a few minutes because I'm making a new thread in the evo 4g lte forum and I don't want to mess up :P
[HTC Wildfire S] eoghan2t7:
No do it now I demand it at once :p jk post when the video is viewable thanks.
[HTC Wildfire S] AceRoom:
Thanks for posting.

I had wanted to try this a long back but I thought that the screen would be too small to use.

What's your opinion, having used it on this 3.2" screen?

Is it usable? And is it useful?

As for hooking it up to a computer screen, you can try this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.onaips.vnc&hl=en

Droid VNC Server

Normally, it gives you access to the Android OS which then you could use to access Ubuntu but it may also be possible to directly access Ubuntu which then would be perfect! Give it a try and let us know.
[HTC Wildfire S] serjstarling:
Thank you!

That's what i'm looking for, tnx.
[HTC Wildfire S] rezo609:
Ok i updated the video link and now it should work. Enjoy! :D
[HTC Wildfire S] nishyt:
It works! Slowly, but it still works!

Btw: it says it's Ubuntu 9.10
[HTC Wildfire S] rezo609:
Oops my bad, let me change the title then :)
[HTC Wildfire S] vampirexhunter:
Is it possible to create a script for this?? I'm currently looking up on how to create scripts, and using Script Manager to run it..

Would be nice to have a shortcut that runs ubuntu without inputing the commands to Terminal.

Thought i hardly have any programming background/knowledge.. I'm not even sure if its possible..

Maybe someone can shed some light on the subject?

Thanks!
[HTC Wildfire S] rezo609:
I would make a app that would do it all for you but I have no app making experience. :(
[HTC Wildfire S] rezo609:
Could everyone do me a favor by replying wether it works also the Rom you are using so I can update the op. Thanks!

-rezo609

EDIT: Im looking for a new update for ubuntu 12. Also if you think that I should make a tutorial on installing LXDE Ubuntu. Please reply or give a thank.

unable to create loop device

great tut thanks!

but i got a problem ,my terminal says its unable to create loop device?

i dont know why??? please help!

thanks
[HTC Wildfire S] rezo609:
This doesn't work on stock, you need to flash a rom like cm9
[HTC Wildfire S] sourabh1510:
I installed it on Stock ROM (rooted using HTCdev)

Its awsome man!!! :)

I was also able to access it from the laptop using VNC viewer. :good:

On first try it gave the msg: losetup: /dev/block/loop1: Device or resource busy

then I changed loop1 to loop2, still it didnt work.

Then I checked the "USB debuging" option and voila, the orange screen came up!! :D

I dont know how come my stock ROM supports loop device. Others stock guys, pls try atleast once and let us know if its working for you.

---------- Post added at 10:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:08 AM ----------

hey, but where do i get the keyboard from???? :confused:
[HTC Wildfire S] sourabh1510:
How can I change the default password??

When change the password from System>Preference>About Me> change password in ubuntu, it doesnt actually change it.
[HTC Wildfire S] rezo609:
You can't change it from there. You will have to do it via terminal on a pc. I will make a thread later when I have time to do so.
[HTC Wildfire S] sourabh1510:
I tried from a PC too, still the same!!
[HTC Wildfire S] finance.resat:
OOPS

Q: What do we do with ubuntu?

A: :confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:
[HTC Wildfire S] rezo609:
It's just to play around with it.
[HTC Wildfire S] ekim1:
That kind of "play" is nice!
[HTC Wildfire S] rezo609:
Looks like you did something everyone else didnt do. I know why but its gonna be a long paragraph to type :p

Idk about the keyboard
[HTC Wildfire S] cleansafi:
rezo697, could you please change the mismatch information (Version 9 or 10) when you have time 2 do iT
[HTC Wildfire S] rezo609:
Ok, I'm gonna do it now.
[HTC Wildfire S] sourabh1510:
Why is it working on my stock wfs? Gv me a clue man.
[HTC Wildfire S] EdikNeznanov:
After typing sh ubuntu.sh in terminal it says cannot open ubuntu.sh. what can i do ? I'm running stock Rom, device is rooted and unlocked
[HTC Wildfire S] sourabh1510:
Hv u copied the script files to /sdcard/ubuntu folder?

Cd to ubuntu directory and then try
[HTC Wildfire S] EdikNeznanov:
No, I extracted all ubuntu in root of sd card all that was there. then typing :

su

cd sdcard

cd ubuntu

sh ubuntu.sh

(terminal anwser) sh: Can't open ubuntu.sh
[HTC Wildfire S] rezo609:
Doesn't work on sense properly so,you need to install a custom ROM like cm9
[HTC Wildfire S] sourabh1510:
@ EdikNeznanov

Just type 'ls' without the quotes after cd ubuntu to Chk if the file is there.
[HTC Wildfire S] EdikNeznanov:
So I installed cm9 and here what I got :

su

cd sdcard

sh ubuntu.sh

(terminal answer) ubuntu is loaded... (bla bla bla) to enter ubuntu just type bootubuntu

bootubuntu

(terminal ans.) (lot of text) and in the end chroot: can't execute '/bin/bash' : no such file or directory

Shuting down ubuntu

failed no such file or directory

losetup: /dev/block/loop1: no such device or address (end)

so what do i need to do now? and why do i need to cd ubuntu after sdcard? it cd first sdcard and then searches folder ubuntu in sdcard to cd it. but still 1 step forward to ubuntu :D
[HTC Wildfire S] aron2hip:
Why not make it a flashable zip and also is there a way to get rid of android os so Ubuntu is the default.

thank you for putting up with the questions
[HTC Wildfire S] Olivier:
AW: [TUT]Ubuntu 9.10 on WFS (Working!) [6/1/12]OP Updated

This isn't possible because this Ubuntu isn't an independent system. It needs Android to work. You also flash this to our device, especially if your bootloader isn't S-OFF'ed.

[HTC One X] mikey0105:
if i try taking a picture using my front camera, its really blurred... is it normal?, because i had some phones before that only have VGA Frontal Camera but the images seems to be fine...

i know that we have a great Main camera, but there will be times that you need to use this front camera especially if no one will took picture of you *with you're friends/gf* LOL.. because its hard to use main camera since there's no camera button... :eek:
[HTC One X] kylec:
Yeah mine is blurry too. Looks like a mosaic lol. I find that there is also a red tint
[HTC One X] Basil3:
You probably need to get in there with a cotton bud.

You can always use the main camera with a 3 or 10 second timer.
[HTC One X] mikey0105:
yeah... mine too... :confused:

i already did clean the lens... crystal clear :D but still its worst than most of VGA frontal cam?

thanks for the advice about the timer, but i'm still hoping for much better frontal cam... :rolleyes:
[HTC One X] ozaghloul:
The front camera is garbage. Mine makes me look bright pink! The main camera quality is also pretty average, I find it no better than my old Desire HD.
[HTC One X] mikey0105:
will there be an app or ROM that can fix this? :rolleyes:

sometimes there are bits of violet color, which make me look like barney.. LOL
[HTC One X] XsCode:
For the red tinge, try dropping the saturation to -1. I don't have any focus problems tho.
[HTC One X] nlyang:
cleaning the lens worked for me

my front cam looked really horrible for a while... blurry, tint was way off, grainy, lots of artifacts. cleaning the recessed lens definitely did the trick for me.
[HTC One X] jonshipman:
Make sure you're well lit. Here's a sample from my camera for the quality you should expect.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CYoung234:
Okay, so here is my one frustration so far with my otherwise nearly perfect Google Galaxy Nexus phone - the voice dialer on Bluetooth stinks. I am using a Jawbone (original) with it, and it pairs just fine. But the voice dialer seems to have a mind of it's own, and I cannot hear the prompts much of the time. Also, it appears to start only when the spirit moves it. I was tempted to try out the Jawbone Companion on the play store, but it does not support the original Jawbone.

Also, I tried out VLingo Voice Talk 2.8.2, but it FCs on me very often.

What I am looking for is functionality similar to what my WinMo HTC Touch Pro 2 had. Very easy to use - one of the few good things about Win Mo! So, how can this be fixed?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
I find cyberon voice commander to be the best BT dialer. The confirmation feature works very well.

If you use BT dialing a lot or tend to toggle airplane mode BT on the GN will grey out and require a reboot once or twice a day. This is an ICS documented bug and not due to any app.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cyberon.cvc.AME
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CYoung234:
Thanks for the recommendation. I broke down and ordered a Jawbone Icon last night, and will see how Jawbone Companion works with it. It sounds though, like Voice Commander is the direction I will head. I need to make sure I will have 2 good days to test it in to make sure it does what I am looking for.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
Good luck and let us know how it works out.
[Nook Touch Android Development] klausef:
I have, for the most part, returned from my leave of absence and hopefully this time around I will be able to provide you folks with something a bit more useful.

Admittedly, this was a fairly halfhearted attempt but, hey, it's something to start with. I branched the CM7 for Nook Color source. Part of the compilation process involves running a script (system/device/bn/encore/extract-files.sh) that extracts proprietary libraries (or something?) from stock Nook Color, so I plugged in a rooted N2E instead for this step and ripped the files off of it. Some files were missing from the N2E, so I copied those over from a Nook Color. Here's a list of those files:

/system/lib/libOMX.TI.720P.Decoder.so
/system/lib/libomap_mm_library_jni.so
/system/etc/powervr.ini
/system/lib/libpvrPVR2D_FLIPWSEGL.so
/system/lib/libusc.so
/system/lib/libpvrPVR2D_FRONTWSEGL.so
/system/lib/libOpenVG.so
/system/lib/libOpenVGU.so
/system/lib/liba2dp.so
/system/lib/hw/alsa.omap3.so
/system/usr/share/alsa/init/hda
/system/usr/share/alsa/init/00main
/system/usr/share/alsa/init/help
/system/usr/share/alsa/init/default
/system/usr/share/alsa/init/info
/system/usr/share/alsa/init/test

Compilation of the franken-nook-color source went without problems.

Unfortunately although unsurprisingly, the produced userland doesn't boot. I'll keep y'all updated with my progress; this is only the very tip of the iceberk.
[Nook Touch Android Development] imachine:
I have two NST so I can use one for testing your rom if you promise no to brick it very often ;-)
[Nook Touch Android Development] Googie2149:
I have a NST that, while the 3/4's of the screen is broken, it still functions fine and I can see anything in the top right quadrant of the screen. It doesn't do anything else for me, so you're welcome to brick it in the name of experimentation. :)
[Nook Touch Android Development] klausef:
Thanks for the offering! I am not really in need of anything just yet but should anything come up I will PM y'all.

Anyhow, I tried again but this time excluded all the missing prop files from the build by editing them out of device-vendor-blobs.mk. It still didn't work so that means we're probably going to have to find a way to actually debug it instead of using trial and error like we have been.

Maybe there is like, a serial port or something on this thing.
[Nook Touch Android Development] Renate:
Yes there is a UART on the OMAP3621.

Still, it's hard to get any info out of TI since it's an OEM part.

Does anybody have a real pinout?

Actually, unless somebody has a dead Nook that you can pull the processor off it would be hard to trace.

I guess the best bet would be to look for suspicious unused pc lands.
[Nook Touch Android Development] zonyl:
Can you toggle the charge light gpio as a progress indicator?
[Nook Touch Android Development] dhkr234:
You don't need anything special.

As long as you can boot a kernel, which you can, you can do all your debugging over adb. Just enable adbd in the ramdisk.

The use for a serial console is for debugging KERNEL failures.
[Nook Touch Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
The firsts thing you really need to work on instead of just trying to boot CM7, is a compatible NST Kernel. Without a CM7 compatible kernel as far as I know it just won't boot. Once you know the kernel works you should start work on getting /system and such to work, as far as I know the major differences between the Nook Color and the Nook Touch are the input types and display types, which means you'll have to replace the drivers with ones that actually work.
[Nook Touch Android Development] klausef:
Thanks for the direction, I kind of have been seeing that getting this working isn't as trivial as swapping a few files. I've been asking on some Freenode channels about what exactly makes a kernel 'CyanogenMod compatible.' There are clearly people out there who know exactly what facilities and stuff need to be backported, but such people are hard to find. Do you have any idea where this kind of stuff is documented? The CyanogenMod wiki seems a bit sparse, although maybe I haven't been looking in the right places...

If it is of any interest to anyone:

http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Remote-Serial-Console-HOWTO/configure-kernel.html

I've recompiled U-Boot to call our current N2E kernel with a new `console=[...]` parameter, and recompiled the kernel with USB serial support. I figure I should be able to plug this thing into a linux box and just use `minicom` to look at the kernel's output in this manner. I know this probably won't give too much information about userspace issues but at least hopefully it will give some info on why/if/when/where init fails.
[Nook Touch Android Development] Renate:
It would be nice if a spare UART could be found directly on the board.
[Nook Touch Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
I should be more specific, it's not so much you need to make the current kernel CM7 compatible, as it is you need to make it Android Froyo Compatible, which usually involves porting features from the eclair, if you want to get specifics, try talking with people in #nookcolor or #nook-tablet on Freenode. They may be able to help point you in the right directions for porting the kernel.
[Nook Touch Android Development] tdcfpp:
Waiting for my NST to come from new continent.

Personally, I would start building original kernel source from b&n. When it works and device boots, then I would clone google repository for kernel 2.6.x and would compare its files with the files from original kernel. And then adding needed source files for booting, and needed device drivers.

I doubt I'll have free time and enough knowledge for that.
[Nook Touch Android Development] wired57:
seeing as we now have the uart http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1702734 i feel its time to make a cm7 port. it would unlimit the device, and bring it into more compatible apps.
[Nook Touch Android Development] imachine:
How goes it? Will fundraising speed things up by letting you concentrate more of your time on this project?
[Nook Touch Android Development] tdcfpp:
Sorry if you weren't asking me.

I don't write a single line of C code since almost twelve years. I'm a programmer in a very different environment, fact which makes me know that such a port needs a lot of dedication.

In the next weeks I'm gonna be father for the first time and this makes me set completely different goals in my life.

As far as I've understood of cyanogenmod, is that this world is made of brilliant volunteers, some accepting donations, some not. Maybe in the whole cm community, there is somebody with time and experience.
[Nook Touch Android Development] wired57:
I've been considering picking this up as a project, because I'm tired of 2.1, i would like some GB at least I doubt we will see cm9, but cm7 seems doable. I'll have to learn some to do it, but I don't see why it's not outside of reach; now that we have a serial port, and such.
[Nook Touch Android Development] imachine:
No problemas, I wasn't. I directed my message at klausef who started this thread, though anyone willing to help out would probably be beneficient from fundraising, were it to start funding a project, instead of a single developer.

If money's a problem, perhaphs starting a kickstarter (or similar) project might help out?

Donating via paypal works as well, but I don't think it's possible to allow public access to account levels in order to motivate the experience of funding, by letting people see how much the project has risen.
[Nook Touch Android Development] bisbal:
i can't wait to get CyanogenMod on my nook! Have you guys discovered anything new?

Cheers!
[Nook Touch Android Development] imachine:
Soooo, any news? Come on, klausef, we can help! Let us know how the progress is coming along
[Nook Touch Android Development] plympton:
Bump. I've got a great use for a NST / N2E application, and the app is currently compiled for Android 2.2 only. I may not be able to get to the source (and may not be able to make it work in 2.1 even if I did!), so a NST with 2.2 would be ideal!
[Nook Touch Android Development] dombeef:
What is the app? If it is open source I may be able to modify it a bit to get it to run in Android 2.1. I was able to do that with another app called OpenEinstein, it took a bit of work but I got it working from the lowest version being 2.2 to being 2.1 and I could probably get it lower if need be.
[Nook Touch Android Development] plympton:
I'm waiting to see if I can get the source. No word yet. Any tips on what you needed to do on general? It's a fairly simple app with some form input and SQLite storage. Export to sdcard will be a bit different I think.

I don't have an android IDE. Any recommended setup? Eclipse?
[Nook Touch Android Development] dombeef:
I used to use Eclipse, But I have reinstalled my os and I am waiting until I have to use 10 gigabytes of my small hardrive.

But basically you change the minimun sdk to 7 and see what errors come up, then try to change the errors to work, Looking online helped with a few of my problems.
[Nook Touch Android Development] plympton:
I'll give Eclipse a go - just bumped the SSD to 240, so have the room. Sounds like same as with Visual Studio - load it, configure it, compile it, fix it. :) Thanks. (Still no reply from the authors - it was a senior college project commissioned by a non-profit I do IT work for... )
[Nook Touch Android Development] MTKnife:
To add my two cents, I would also love to see CM on the Nook Touch: I've used my Nook most often to read The Economist, but after the latest update, the magazine's app no longer works (and no, using an old version isn't an option--it doesn't work with the magazine's server). I would also love to be able to install the updated version of the Amazon Kindle app, which displays the page numbers of the hardcopy version of a book.
