Hello guys i installed ubuntu on my Galaxy Tab P6210...but i need more space to use it...

found this tutorial on android linux page:

Method 1

For this method we shall simply make a bigger image file and copy the content from the old file to the new one, however its important to note if your storage is formatted for FAT32 you will only be able to increase the image to 4GB, if your storage is formatted to ext2/3/4 this can be much larger, but be warned Android starts to not like mounting large image files if you go to high!

Start by copying your image file you want to 'make larger' to your computer, place it on the Desktop to make things easier.

Now open a terminal, cd to the desktop and create the new blank image of the size you want using the following commands

cd ~/Desktop

dd if=/dev/zero of=ubuntunew.img bs=1M count=0 seek=4096

This creates a new image file called 'ubuntunew.img' change the seek value to the sie you want (e.g 4096 = 4GB)

Next we must format the new image to the ext2 file system using the below command

mke2fs -F ubuntunew.img

next create two folders on your desktop call one ubuntunew and one ubuntuold, we will use these as a place to mount the two images.

You now need to mount the old and new images in there respective folders, do this using the follow commands:

sudo mount -o loop ubuntu.img ubuntuold

sudo mount -o loop ubuntunew.img ubuntunew

Now we shall copy all the files from the old image into the new image:

sudo cp -r ubuntuold/* ubuntunew

Once this is complete simply unmount the images and your ubuntunew.img is ready to be used!

sudo umount ubuntuold

sudo umount ubuntunew

Method 2

The second option involves creating a partition on your sdcard and 'installing' ubuntu to the partition. This will wipe your sdcard and requires a good knowledge of both linux and android. I will write up this method shortly along with a edited boot script to allow booting from it.

I didnt worked for me

Is there anyway to give more space to linux ?? i dont have any machine running linux and from tablet it didnt worked...i would like some help to make it use my total SD card space...this is very important for me cause ill use it to learn and programming...

Thanks for help.

Wouldn't it just be easier to vnc into your home box... you could still do everything, and much faster that way. Do you have an Ubuntu box at home

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] ringnutz:
Would you be able to install ubuntu to your external sd card and run it from there instead of the internal

Install Ubuntu inside of windows using wubi on the Ubuntu site. You will be able to dual boot (able choose which os to boot) .

Installed but got problems on image

Guys i installed ubuntu on virtual box, done all the proceeds but after send the image to the tablet it does not works anymore...

i got a print screen so you ll be able to help me...hope someone could do it cause i tryied and nothing changed...im trying a 7.0 ghz image but dont know why it never works when i send it to tablet...

"Cant execute root/init.sh" =(
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] ringnutz:
If you installed wubi on your PC, you should just be able to install any vnc client on the tab and configure it and login. You don't need to install anything else on the tab, only ensure that the proper port is being forwarded to your Ubuntu computer, I don't remember which port it is off hand though.

I thought he said he needed to use Ubuntu on his tablet in a place with no internet access?

I know how that is, unfortunately.

What exactly did not work? Which method did you use, and were there any error messages (if you used both methods, need to know the corresponding problems)

---------- Post added at 12:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:25 PM ----------

It looks like you have more problems than that. eth0 is the ethernet port on your PC so I guess not surprising it can't be found.

But the "Cant execute root/init.sh" is because the fie is not there (I had thought initially reading your post it could be something as simple as needing to chmod the init.sh script )

Are you reading the Linux on Android thread? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1585009

You may be able to find someone in the thread mentioning they have it running on a galaxy tab.

Good news Here Guys

Hello guys i done everything again, i think the name of the file was not ok so i done it all again, used the method 1 and sent it to my tablet now everything runs fine, unffortunely ill need to use it on a place that there is no internet access...but by the way everything is really working, thank you all for helping me...i really apreciate it. see ya guys. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] leodfs:
Have you tried that, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zpwebsites.linuxonandroid ?

It is really easy to install, you will need a vnc client, but you will connect it to your loopback device.

Edit: damn, sorry it is the same posted before. Just for not be totally useless, I confirm that it runs Backtrack just fine on p6210 hc, ics and cm9. I do recommend backtrack, it is lighter then ubuntu.

Hi,

I wanted to test the last RUU but finally I wanted to return into ViperREZ ROM by a restoration.

So I unlocked the bootloader with HTCDev.com and I tried to go in the recovery menu.

When I opened this, a icon is showed with a phone and two arrows like a update icon. After few seconds, another icon is showed with a phone and an exclamation point.

And few seconds again, my phone reboot.

Could you help me please ?

If you want photos, ask me.

Did you flash your custom recovery after the ruu? Sounds like your on stock recovery.:confused:

I tried it, but it works only when audio was set to "Galaxy SL / i9003 " and it play only to speaker.

It does not play to headphones :(

any tips ?

It's not possible to play to headphones yet !

I already did it, but once time only and by "mistake", I changed then something and restarted and from this point radio play only to speakers.

Maybe latest Donate/ Light version of Spirit FM will work , but I had ver Jul 15 only.

G/f left her Razr Maxx on top of the car, so it's gone. Picked this up for a replacement.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Lee11111:
Was trying to get the paranoid android on there, but it seems to be stuck at boot....
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Lee11111:
Well, I guess I didn't have the right kernel. Even though I installed aerovan's 10.5 (and v12), it still wouldn't boot.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] joefrog1996:
What do you like better? The Razor or the incredible 2?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Lee11111:
The Razr by far. Just feels great. Resolution comes to mind immediately, or dpi if that's the term. Was pretty impressed by the hardware otherwise for the Dinc2. Feels like a solid phone. Plus the guy sold it with a holster that I convinced my g/f to use *win*.

If I had over ten posts, I would post in paranoidandroid's thread for CM10, I would post there. I have also tried a full wipe of factory reset, cache, and dalvik. Formatted system. Installed aerovan's 11.5 kernel first, then installed the CM10 hybrid. I seem to be stuck on the bootanimation. I've given it at least 5 mins to boot. Suggestions?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Lee11111:
What's your favorite ICS rom? Have you tried any of the JB roms?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jakob95:
Try a Sense based ROM, such as IC Tazz Sense 3.6 ICS.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Lee11111:
Radio is good?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Lee11111:
I'm only getting a black screen (sans boot animation). I accidentally flashed boot.img earlier today. I simply flashed a boot.img that was included in the miui rom, then (tried to)installed miui. I've installed a few kernels, landing on aerovan's 11.5 as of present.

The black boot is from tazz ics from mikmik. I did a factory reset, cache, and dalvick. Formatted /system. Installed tazz, and boot. No glory.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Lee11111:
Seems like I can't get past a boot animation on any rom.. Sorry guys, new to this phone so I'm not sure what's going on. Please help. I'm doing a decent wipe before each installation. I have unlocked bootloader and version 5 cwm

Oh yea, forgot there were certain steps to flash the radio... Lemme try again :/ Any ideas on how long it takes to install? I was just sitting at the part where it says Checking it after it found it on the sdcard

Ummmm... well here is an issue. I can't get the device recognized when in fastboot mode of the hboot menu. This phone has caused me serious headaches.

Also, on the hboot. It says:

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsua98:
What ROM are you on? If it's a sense rom, then you have to disable fast boot.

I can't get a single rom to boot. Always hangs on the boot animation.

It looks like you're HTC unlocked & not s-off. Search for threads that deal with these issues.

I'm s-off via revolutionary. Look for taco root.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
You used htcdev didn't you. Lol well, you can't flash radios while HTC unlocked. You have to have s-off for that. Also, the reason the ROMs aren't booting is cuz you have to fastboot flash the boot.img.

thanks for the help so far guys. I'm still fighting with it. I can't seem to downgrade the hboot to 0.97 from 0.98. Thanks for the tip on flashing the boot image
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
Have you relocked using the HTC tool?? You have to relock and then you can downgrade. What firmware are you on? If it starts with a 6 you gotta use a tool called tacoroot. Check out the dev section in the stickies to find a "how to root on any firmware" thread.

What firmware are you on? What radio are you on?

You need to re-lock bootloader to achieve s-off. That maybe why your getting that error.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] SuFuS01dier:
I've heard of a lot of people getting past the bootloop problems by flashing the latest radio. Don't know if that will help your situation but maybe something to look at.

Well, I don't exactly get much time with it now that I have it operational again. Next time I get to work on it, I will update you guys.

I will try to lock the bootloader back once I find the thread how to.

ICS:

1. AOKP

2. CM9

3. Provision (Right now actually)

JB:

1. CMX (so far only because its probably the most stable JB ROM with 99.8% of everything working)

2. Stock (AOSP)

3. Jellyvision (which will probably shoot up to 1 for awesomeness (I'm entitled to my own opinion, I'm sorry if this offends you))

It all depends on what you want, people view perks different ways. Some are featureholics. Some are minimalistic, just your personal preference.

To connect a Verizon Samsung Galaxy SIII to VMWare Fusion on a Mac (though, should work on any Host OS giving you trouble) do this:

Take the code from here:

usb.quirks.device0 = "0x4e8:0x681d skip-reset" # Mass Storage
usb.quirks.device1 = "0x4e8:0x68a9 skip-reset" # Media
usb.quirks.device2 = "0x4e8:0x6877 skip-reset" # Kies
usb.quirks.device3 = "0x4e8:0x681c skip-reset" # ?

and instead use

usb.quirks.device0 = "0x04e8:0x6860 skip-reset"

Open the Virtual Machine Library in VMWare Fusion, right click on your Windows machine while holding the Option/Alt key, click Open Config File in Editor, and add the line above to the .vmx file. Click File>Save a Version, then completely close out of VMWare, open it back up, open your Windows machine, attach your GSIII under MTP protocol, and you're in.

I can only guarantee this will work on Verizon GSIII, for non Verizon, shoot me a PM and I will figure out the code for that.

Technically this is a development question, as it is going to require a small amount of editing of the .vmx file to get it working. I'm playing around with some code now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dawest:
EDIT: Made this the original post to serve as a guide.

Got it! For reference if anybody else is having this issue with a Verizon Samsung Galaxy SIII, do this.

Take the code from here:

usb.quirks.device0 = "0x4e8:0x681d skip-reset" # Mass Storage
usb.quirks.device1 = "0x4e8:0x68a9 skip-reset" # Media
usb.quirks.device2 = "0x4e8:0x6877 skip-reset" # Kies
usb.quirks.device3 = "0x4e8:0x681c skip-reset" # ?

and instead use

usb.quirks.device0 = "0x04e8:0x6860 skip-reset"

To put instructions here, open the Virtual Machine Library in VMWare Fusion, right click on your Windows machine while holding the Option/Alt key, click Open Config File in Editor, and add the line above to the .vmx file. Click File>Save a Version, then completely close out of VMWare, open it back up, open your Windows machine, attach your GSIII under MTP protocol, and you're in.

Just for future reference this really doesn't belong as development as no questions get posted as threads here. What you could do is change this into a how to guide since you figured it out for others to use! Then it would belong here.

I don't see how he was posting a question. (unless he edited it to show otherwise before i read?), looks to me like he is giving some helpful info (to some) and also looks like he took your advice on making it a guide. :)

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaycustom:
For the first time ever (6 Android devices) I felt no need to unlock/ root / flash my N7. I thought it was set up beautifully. Well, I finally gave in and rooted, only for the tablet UI. After using tablet mode for 2 days, I realized I like the default hybrid mode a lot better. So, using ROM Toolbox, I set the density from 160 back to default 213. My problem is...even though I set the density back to default, some apps are still showing incompatible. These are apps I used previously, like Picspeed HD to set wallpapers correctly, and Nova Launcher Prime as my main launcher.

I reset the density, cleared Playstore cache and data, and rebooted..but no dice.

Any ideas?

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Tamen:
Hi,

My wifi 8.9 galaxy tab won't complete nandroid backups. I have 3.3gb space (more than enough) and after successfully backing up the boot image, recovery and /system partitions, when it reaches /data it appears to freeze. Around 30s later it reboots to whatever state the device was in. If it was off and turned on to recovery it'll turn on, if I chose "reboot to recovery" from the advanced power menu it reboots to recovery.

I have wiped /cache and delvik cache but this didn't help. The backups created are around 200mb.

I've made nandroids previously with no problem. Updating didn't help (now at 6.0.0.8, I had 5.5.0.4). Current rom is AOKP-5.

Any ideas? I want to flash cm10 but until I get a good backup I don't want to proceed!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] quaver84:
I've had that problem too. I don't know what caused it but I resolved it by using ODIN to go back to stock. In stock recovery, factory reset (which wiped EVERTYTHING)*, and reinstall stock ROM again by ODIN.

At least at that point I had a functioning tab from which I could re flash cwm recovery and whatever else I wanted. Had to reinstall apps too.

Was a bit of trial and error and I managed to stumble my way through, but that was my journey. Maybe someone else here knows better...... If you end up doing the same, backup everything you need/want externally. And get yourself a cup of tea.

*My other tip I gleaned was holding power button, up volume and down volume at the same time turns the tab off. (used for turning tab off whilst in stock recovery).
