Wow! I have not seen anything better. YOU and DFT team - great people. Sound works fine, did not find how to view the battery charge, and tell me how to turn off the screen to standby? And the backlight works when screensaver is on. A great big thank you ... Definitely worth continuing .... great project. Thanks again
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] Rahul7301:
right click emulation...

:good: Hats off to you Zo1d!! The system stability is great... I was just thinking of a way so that I could emulate a 'right click' in the same old fashion as in the earlier ubuntu builds instead of using dwell click i.e. touch and hold the cursor on an object or any place on the screen for 2-3 seconds to signify a right click action.. How could this be possible and what settings have to be modified to achieve this??

Please make torrent, cuz it`s the 3rd time I`m trying to download it, and it`s only 100kb/s.

Wow man!!!! USB host is working with this build... posting this from ubnhd2 with usb keyboard

attached to my leo!! Hey Zo1d, you can update this in the main post.
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] Robbie P:
The dwell click is not that useful when using usb mouse, if you leave the cursor over anything, it opens automatically. Is there a way to turn the applet off?

Another problem (which may be related) is that sometimes the drop-down menus are not cleared from the screen. Tried swapping desktops but they remain onscreen. Is there a redraw screen button?

Hope to have more time soon to spend on testing.

:good::D:D
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] zo1d:
Hey Robbie,

Yes you can switch off the dwell applet when you press the mouse icon in the upper right corner,

And the menu fragments are disappearing if you open the same menu again.

I am very much interested in the reports / ideas / solutions / wishes / reviews of the ppl here !
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] Robbie P:
Thanks:o

I noticed that, but a bit tricky if 2 or 3 have been opened and you don't know which is which. Had to restart to get a clean screen. Would be nice to have a re-draw button.

Found xrefresh (might not be for ARM) and http://ubuntu-way.blogspot.co.uk/2012/02/how-to-add-refresh-command-on-ubuntu.html will try them later.

Is there any chance to make this build smaller? Especially ext2 partitions?

I tried using toporesize on win 8 x64 bit, but it failed miserably :(

After resize it corrupts ext2.
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] MariekPL:
+1

I got "8" GB card, but if I have 1 GB ext4 partition there and 6,4 GB left for FAT partition.

5 GB build would be nice.
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] Rahul7301:
How can I perform a right click action without using dwell click applet??

I want it to be like previous versions such as ubuntu 0.3 for hd2 wherein you touch and hold a spot on screen to emulate right click as I mentioned earlier. Any workaround for this??
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] Spaqin:
It's quite good, but it could use some improvements, like ability to scroll using two-fingers gesture. Also I would like to know why I can't get sound to work, do I have to enable it somewhere or should it work out of the box?

And does anyone know where I can get more ARM apps? Any chances for a browser with HTML5 support or Flash Player?

[edit]

lol audio

I just forgot to set volume :X silly me.
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] Sancher:
Yeah, it is much better.

And something wrong with touchpad - width is OK but height is too slow.
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] Spaqin:
I guess it was intentional, the sensivity in both x and y axis can be set somewhere (I have no idea where though).

[edit]

I'd like to know the passwords to both accounts and root, they might come in very handy, you know.
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] james.carter:
sure.. I guess passwords are needed for root administrative purposes and to install programs through ubuntu software center.

Yet it's same as earlier builds for both accounts i.e. password: "ubuntu" :)

Also, Midori browser is working much smoother than firefox with this build though still looking for flash support.
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] pioterek2666:
For flash u could find open source alternative called "gnash". Idk if it will work but I know that it has arm version (used in ubuntuhd2 v0.3 - of course it was extremely laggy and slow for normal use).

There is also a plugin called "Lightspark" (not tested by me yet)
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] bulanula:
Does this support full packet injection and monitor mode along with the full suite of aircrack-ng tools ?

The guys at http://bcmon.blogspot.co.uk/ supposedly got the wireless drivers all fixed and the htc hd2 has the same hardware as that but does it work ? Anybody test yet ?

Many thanks for this !
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] GuimbardePower:
Whow, good work! *Almost* exactly what I needed!

I'm downloading it for testing!

But I have one question, is it possible to make a pure debian version based on your work? Re-using the same kernel ? Maybe it's a stupid question ... ^^

I can't wait to test it!
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] zo1d:
Of course i also like pure debian more, but i made the experience that the debian wheezy

isn't very stable in questions of a reliable wifi driver and continuos audio playing.
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] GuimbardePower:
Thank's for your response!

For now I'm testing your version, and and I think it's pretty impressive! And eyecandy by the way ^^

Maybe if I have some time I will try to make a pure version, but for now I will try to install a ftp server and apache on this one ^^

Btw, have you tried to use apache with linux on hd2?

Edit: And is it possible to overclock to 1.2 Ghz?

Edit 2: It seem's to be impossible to install apache 2 with apt-get.

Do you now where I can found ARM based software? Or any repository to add?

And where I can learn to do my own distro for HD2 based on your work? (I really wan't my debian on my second HD2, even if it's buggy :p)
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] Spaqin:
Apt-get will install you ARM software, and this distro includes Ubuntu Software Center full of that. But it's hidden somewhere, I don't remember where exactly.
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] GuimbardePower:
Ok thank's. I'm trying with nginx instead of apache2 because apt-get can't fetch most of the data.

And I have an other problem: it seem's that my phone isn't pingable (this word exist??). Even with nmap!

Before you ask me, yes I'm connected to the router, and yes I've tried with the right IP adress ^^

Edit: I've pinged my computer with my leo, and then pinged my leo with my computer and it worked. I don't know why 0_o

Back to my question.

When I try to boot this from SD it just says kernel panic at the end then reboots into magdlr. Do I need to format my SDCard or what's my problem with the image?

Sorry guys I cannot give haret support i boycott WinMo on my devices...

Maybe it also depends on the hspl/radio version,

i heard that someone booted it successfully via haret..
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] Robbie P:
wisor2006 didn't seem to have problems with haret:confused:

Check md5sum of your download(s). I can't seem to find unextracted zip, so can't post my md5, post yours so you can compare.

Also try formatting your sd card with https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/ but not sure if it formats the whole card, so probably a good time to backup your ext4 partition;)

Sorry not much help:)
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] jerrysue:
Thank you very much , zo1d and Robbie P. How quickly of your reply!

The attach is the md5sum of my 4 files. I don't know if they are right.

Maybe I should format my 16G sandisk again someday.

I replaced the rootfs.ext2 file with the original 0.3 rootfs.ext2 , it booted and works as the origianl except touch screen was abnormal (maybe landscape reason) . after replaced the zImage file , It works as normal.

So I think maybe the file rootfs.ext2 is broken.

you have saved my phone (broken digitizer) now I can use it again, by a mouse.

now I have an OS on my HD2 that has audio and WiFi and I do not need a new digitizer (I can't get one !!) to use the phone :)

flash memory dose not work, I'm not sure if I did something wrong, I will search for it first

Thank you again
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] Spaqin:
Hey guys,

While I doubt that someone will actually help me, I still have to try.

I can't seem to get my pendrive or my HDD to work. Device Manager tells me that there's 'insufficient power to operate USB device' which is silly - I have a powered USB hub that works well on Windows and I see no reason it shouldn't work with the phone. I'd love to use the system, but without mass storage support I don't think I will. I thought of modifying initrd to use rootfs image from mounted HDD so I wouldn't need to keep it on my already packed SD card, but without working HDD support it will be impossible.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sunglint:
I've had my Note2 for a little over a week now, and think it's a pretty cool device. Today I saw something about the ISS and realized I hadn't loaded Google Sky yet, but then I realized I hadn't tried my compass yet. I downloaded an app and found the compass useless. I then tried GPS Test and get the same results. Then I found this thread in GT-N7100 section which describes a neat test mode (dial *#0*#) and in that mode when I test the compass it does the same thing; it jitters wildly, and tilting the phone side to side sends it spinning. I dont know if this is a dealbreaker yet but this is not a good failure to find when Im right at my 2 week return window.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] simplelife:
after read your post, i did retest ( I did test before ) using Compass & Gps test app . With Compass app its pin point exactly where im at , Gps test app i got 23 sat in view and 19 in use.Hope its help
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] stanlywang:
I just tested my note 2 with street view, and I also found the compass does jitter a little bit, not too much. But enough to effect the experience of the street view.

In general, the compass does find its north, and the correctly location of where I am. And all my map functions do work fine.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] je300zx:
Flashed the new LiquidSmooth ROM over the old one after a good wipe.

Turned phone back on and would hang at an activating screen, I'd just exit out.

I then noticed I couldn't send MMS and my voicemail number was something like 000-000-8273.

So went dialer>settings and entered my VM number in. Rebooted. Voicemail works,MMS works but I noticed my MEID # is missing the last digit. My IMEI number has 15 digits my MEID has 14 ..does this matter? I haven't found anything other than that wrong with the phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ImYoungxD:
I had the same thing with Liquidsmooth. No problems though.

Flashed to another rom and the IMEI returned back to normal.

Don't think you have to do anything unless you have problems receiving and calling people, texting, etc.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
my MEID is one digit short as well and it works perfectly fine :)
[Nexus 4 General] heat361:
The lock screen in android 4.2 is a lot different now we all know about the ability to have widgets on the lock screen. Apparently Google has changed the way to unlock to camera and Google Now.

To unlock to camera swipe from right to left will open up the camera (much quicker than the previous option)

To unlock to Google now on the lock screen there will be a little dot for the hidden home button you swipe up like you normally do.

In this video(Italian) it shows that towards the 3:52 mark.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9hYuiYFzCI&feature=youtube_gdata_player

These changes were implemented by Google so that if you have a password set for your lock screen you can still access the camera and Google now.

Edit:also shown in this video. You can see that your clock widget can be different from stock. So now android is even more customizable.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VB7ioNH1Ie0&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Edit 2: this video shows the beauty of the device in utmost clarity;its also in Italian again :(

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEp_ttwd16M&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Edit 3: another HD video of nexus 4 and widgets in Italiano :)

Edit 4: HD blog has put up a full review which also show lock screen widgets enjoy

[Nexus 4 General] yahyoh:
finely a review showed the look screen widgets :victory:
[Nexus 4 General] heat361:
I updated the post with another video showing the lock screen widgets. Its fully customizable and IMO its the best/most important feature of android 4.2
[Nexus 4 General] bozzykid:
Google announced 4.2 would finally have unlock to camera option for users using a pattern lock so I don't think it is gone. Although I'm not sure how it is accessed.
[Nexus 4 General] heat361:
No I said the original way of unlocking to the camera has changed it is now a swipe to one of you lock screen pages to access the camera.
[Nexus 4 General] Jose Viegas:
Nice.... :cool:
[Nexus 4 General] heat361:
Yeah it is I'm not sure if it works with 3rd party apps but it most likely does.

[Nexus 4 General] mulletcutter:
Haha i thought i spoke fast.. Italian is..well sounds faster. But the back of the phone looks so awesome
[Nexus 4 General] Peyman_dinani:
I assume the chrome looking frame is plastic or maybe I am wrong?
[Nexus 4 General] omersak:
I wonder if these italian nexi have a newer version of android.. the american reviewers never showed even a glimpse of the new lock screen because it hadn't been properly implemented yet in the pre-release software.

Maybe it's just the "+" function that doesn't work yet on all devices.

EDIT: The HDblog video pressed "+" and everything was working fine. Weird.

EDIT 2: Atached image of HDblog's software information. Someone please verify if its different or the same. The kernel's the same i think.
[Nexus 4 General] heat361:
I believe the Italian reviewers got their nexus 4's from lg Italy which probably had a version where lock screen widgets were working.
[Nexus 4 General] Crenshaw-PCGH:
Its two versions higher then the others ;)
[Nexus 4 General] omersak:
Brilliant, i hope this also fixes the throttling and battery issues.

Have any of these Italian preview/reviews done battery tests on that sexy, sexy beast of aphone yet? I've been looking for benchmark tests (i don't believe in them, just wanted to see if anything changed in the new version) on the websites from those videos but to no avail.
[Nexus 4 General] tgyberg:
Nice! Nexoos! :D
[Nexus 4 General] Enhanced:
I'm cool with lockscreen widgets and all (I seriously am), but doesn't multiple screens on a lock screen pretty much negate what the lock screen is for, and that is to prevent accidental finger input? How possible is it that I could possible swipe to the camera by accident or my Gmail widget by accident and start shooting off some commands?

As a fan of customization, I'm pretty stoked for this, but I think this feature makes Android a little "busy". I don't think lock screen widgets with multiple pages were that necessary considering the normal home screens where widgets should reside were just an unlock away.
[Nexus 4 General] heat361:
Its meant to view your inbox or calendar but when you click on them it won't head into your email. The camera is a swipe to find it and I doubt there will be any accidental swipes into the camera.

After upgrading to 4.0 all programs except stock contacts and text no longer show Facebook profile pictures. I use GoContacts, Handcent sms and Gmail. None of these display to contact pictures for Facebook contacts. The contact pictures is blank. I have contacted all the companies and they all blame Facebook. Any ideas?
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
it is facebook. they locked down that part of there API. you have 2 options to get them back:

1. buy Haxsync from the market place. Its only $.99 and it works great.

2. download an app called Photo Unlocker, it was developed by ChainsDD. It is no longer in the market so you will need to search Google for it. For this to work you need to make sure your contacts are synced already with Facebook fully, run the app, it will ask for root. then it will show if the data base is busy or not. some times you will need to click unlock a bunch of times for it to work.
[HTC Rezound] mcargil05:
Loaded Haxsync. The only program that sees it is contacts. Does not work with third party programs. Handsent, go contacts and gmail.
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
i use handsent and go contacts and the both see them on mine. try going to:

system > app > find the 2 apps and clear cache from them.
[HTC Rezound] mcargil05:
I just installed Callapp the new social dialing app that is supposed to work great with face book. It doesn't show Facebook contact photos either. This all started the second I upgraded to ICS.
[HTC Rezound] Nyobie:
I've just downloaded HaxSync and I'm sync'ing now. I'm using a beta version of Contacts+ for my address book. We're about to find out if my contact photos import from Facebook like they used to before the API change. If this works, I'll be reporting back on my beta results.

And the verdict is...

IT WORKS (for about 90% of my Facebook contacts that had missing photos)!! Thanks for the tip!
[HTC Rezound] mcargil05:
It took a day, but the HaxSync did work. Had to rename a few contacts to the same as in Facebook. Working good with Go Contacts and Handcent.

Thanks!:D
[HTC Rezound] mcargil05:
I did get it working with all of my Facebook contacts. I had to rename a few to the same name as in Facebook.
