[Ubuntu Touch General] EddyOS:
Love how people are expecting this to be a fully working OS :D

I'll give it a go once the proper instructions are out - got the files but would rather double-check everything

You'll still need flash player even after its dead? Its on its way out already. I guess if you want to see old flash advertisements then you have a definite need for it Haha.
[Ubuntu Touch General] Carlos_Manuel:
Anybody can use what they want.. and I use Flash Player on Android, without flash player android would be much more boring at least for me..
[Ubuntu Touch General] rlucasrn:
Awesome

Awesome. UM's interface looks great. Can't wait first release...xD
[Ubuntu Touch General] jpjj225:
Considering flash is no longer supported on the desktop version of ubuntu I don't see any reason they would add it to the mobile one. And to the guy doubting being able to easily flash it, the verge reported that as a fact already. Now they didn't specifically mention cwm, but they did say it's flashable. Truthfully though, I don't give a damn how it installs. I want it!!!
[Ubuntu Touch General] times_infinity:
I never said it wouldn't be easily flashable. I just said to take the whole being able to flash it with cwm with a grain of salt. Since Canonical released images for the Nexus 7, but they have to be flashed through fastboot. Still flashable. Just not a zip format that the supposed Canonical "employee" is stating.
[Ubuntu Touch General] tiny4579:
I wasn't aware they released anything for any device for this project. There are files for nexus 7 but that's for the full Linux on arm. If there are image files for this new os please link.
[Ubuntu Touch General] marhensa:
even if it is img, sbf, kdz, ftf, tar, etc..

i'm sure the power of android hacker here could transform it into simple flashable zip.

look at google factory image, motorola sbf image, sony ftf image, LG kdz image,

turns into zip in hand of our beloved developers.
[Ubuntu Touch General] millat1m3:
So is Ubuntu for Android dead in the water? From what I heard they shopped it around and couldn't get any manufacturers to buy in, so it morphed into this. It's funny that Google is a Canonical customer and now this is happening.

---------- Post added at 09:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 PM ----------

True that. Consider the infinite future of mobile computing, and we are still seeing Genesis. The total package approach is currently being fudged by Microsoft, so if you throw Ubuntu Phone and TV into the mix this could get interesting.
[Ubuntu Touch General] marhensa:
they actually would launch their phone on 2014.

for now on, 2013.

it is more like a aftermarket firmware, alternate OS just like CyanogenMod,

but built from scratch, away from AOSP.
[Ubuntu Touch General] Dragn4rce:
This is really smart for Canonical to do this. Test this on android devices and let users, who UNDERSTAND that perfection requires time, to try it and give feedbacks of how it is and what could be done for improvement.

A majority of the Rooted users understand that in order to make something right, it takes time.

We understand that, and wouldnt mind a laggy or buggy piece of software as long as the main stuff works(phone and text).

Unlike the commoners, who think everything is just perfect and nothing bad happens.

According to the BBC article found here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-20891868, the Galaxy Nexus will supposedly have the Ubuntu mobile OS by February. "The firm then plans to release a file for Galaxy Nexus phones by February, and later for other handsets and ultimately tablet computers as well."
[Ubuntu Touch General] insane08:
To some extent you are right, majority of the members have patience and understand that it will take a while to perfect but I do believe project butter has spoiled many.. I can't see myself using a laggy Os now and the main reason I will bother trying this is because it is new and innovative.. Something finally different than android and iOS
[Ubuntu Touch General] salahmed:
Mr. Mark is doing a smart and risky move by representing this OS on a device to replace android.

Smart:

Because he is doing this for free and you don't have to pay anything for that OS or buy a device to try it. Just use your relatively old device to try this OS for free and if you don't like it then you can go back to android... And also no big giant company will sue him as I think with that damn patent war

Risky:

Because the users will always compare it with the project butter. Comparing first build with android years of development and feed back and bug fixes. and this may and may give it a bad start.

For me I definitely will try this new OS and I am feeling lucky that I have this great device and having the opportunity to try something new.
[Ubuntu Touch General] Ace42:
Ubuntu mobile will be faster since there's no java overlay like android. And let's not forget that Ubuntu will have native apps unlike many of android apps.
[Ubuntu Touch General] 063_XOBX:
Android has native apps. I really don't see what you're getting at.
[Ubuntu Touch General] Ace42:
All apps aren't native, and some are poorly coded. Facebook's app is a prime example, compare the current one to the older unoptimized app.
[Ubuntu Touch General] 063_XOBX:
And you think Ubuntu Mobile is going to be better than a 5+ year old OS at launch?
[Ubuntu Touch General] sickmotion:
maybe i am dumb, but does that mean if it uses the kernels and drivers from android that we can flash kernels like franco/lean/faux or sth. else on it?:silly:

will it work?^^
[Ubuntu Touch General] 063_XOBX:
Seeing as it's not actually Android I'm doubtful that they'll work completely unchanged. Or that they'll be modified to support something 95% of users won't bother with.
[Ubuntu Touch General] Carlos_Manuel:
Ok.. I checked the posts via My Nexus and Now I'm on my PC!

There is so many posts and I'm confused!

[Ubuntu Touch General] joaonds:
Please, just kill all doubts and also to serve others that has the same question:

It has multiple files in the directory, just need the 4 flashing cited in the post?

fastboot flash recovery quantal-preinstalled-recovery-armel+maguro.img

fastboot flash system quantal-preinstalled-system-armel+maguro.img

fastboot flash boot quantal-preinstalled-boot-armel+maguro.img

adb sideload quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip

The other files do not need flash?

Personnel already installed if you need to return to Android, is only flash again or have CWM as in Android?

Thanks !
[Ubuntu Touch General] sawy3r:
Same situation here, haha always keen to give these things a try!

I've flashed both zips as have a maguro, so thought perhaps both were required.

Device is semi-awake, just screen is blank ... wish we could force verbose boot...

UPDATE: Reason mine won't boot is due to encrypted sdcard... If you want to try this and sdcard is encrypted, do a nandroid backup, then backup all of your important data to PC, then wipe sdcard and start again.
[Ubuntu Touch General] Yanluk:
Sideload?

What i did.

First download all files.

Copy phablet file to you phone (the big file)

Reboot to bootloader

Flash system, recovery, boot with fastboot

Reboot to recovery

Flash phablet.zip with recovery

Reboot you phone and you have Ubuntu Phone
[Ubuntu Touch General] EddyOS:
I'm guessing that's a typo and the wrong file to flash seeing as we need to be using the maguro one
[Ubuntu Touch General] eng.stk:
So basically is a CM10 flash zip?

Nice :)
[Ubuntu Touch General] agritux:
mine too...

everything success but not boot
[Ubuntu Touch General] josteink:
According to a guy in the thread here that is the correct way to flash it.

Preloaded apps (a big 400MB chunk of them) are probably not hardware-specific.

Besides. There never was any other phablet zip. No zip for any specific hardware.
[Ubuntu Touch General] Yanluk:
I didn't side loaded. Copied phablet to phone first and flashed it from phone memory
[Ubuntu Touch General] Tung_meister:
From what I can gather this isn't the final preview build which won't be available until 4pm GMT so why is everyone so desperate to get this installed? Just wait a few hours and you'l have official instructions and a build that probably has more functionality!
[Ubuntu Touch General] EddyOS:
Why you flashing the phablet file when there's one called maguro?

And I was following these instructions:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=38277278&postcount=903
[Ubuntu Touch General] josteink:
adb sideload (a new feature. whee!) is the same as flashing things in recovery.
[Ubuntu Touch General] agritux:
same thing
[Ubuntu Touch General] adambala:
yeap some q for me...why??
[Ubuntu Touch General] sawy3r:
I can't access sdcard from the version of CWM provided ... damn. Will start again from the top and see how I go...!

UPDATE: Doh... The included version of CWM can't access my sdcard, because it's encrypted. Forgot about that... Reinstalled TWRP and restored. This also explains why Ubuntu wouldn't boot. Hope this helps some others.

Will wipe SD and give it a go tomorrow, might be a more stable release out by then too. Thanks for the info here all, good work :)
[Ubuntu Touch General] savantist:
why use adb sideload for that phablet zip? why not use fastboot -w update like we did on flashing factory image? :D

*just asking*
[Ubuntu Touch General] Menelkir:
My question is: Can I use adb logcat for debugging purposes or ubuntu uses something different?

Update: nvm, I can, I see there's an adb app inside the zip
[Ubuntu Touch General] Yanluk:
Don't know. That's what i downloaded and whats working for me:

quantal-preinstalled-boot-armel+maguro.img

quantal-preinstalled-recovery-armel+maguro.img

quantal-preinstalled-system-armel+maguro.img

quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip
[Ubuntu Touch General] adambala:
just flash the 2 zips for twp to see how it looks no radio...but you have access
[Ubuntu Touch General] EddyOS:
Going to answer my own question here...

The ZIP with maguro in the name was tiny (80MB) this phablet one is over 400MB so I'm guessing I didn't flash the whole thing. Gonna wait until it's properly released this afternoon and try again :)
[Ubuntu Touch General] josteink:
According to a guy in the thread here that is the correct way to flash it.

Preloaded apps (a big 400MB chunk of them) are probably not hardware-specific. And it's the biggest file there. It's probably required by a good mile.

Besides. There never was any other phablet zip. No zip for any specific hardware.

Phablet = Phone & Tablet. Maguro is a phone so that fits right in.
[Ubuntu Touch General] velislav25:

[Ubuntu Touch General] jimmyco2008:
Giving these "leaked" files a go... Leaked or pre-preview?...

Anyway, not to hijack instructions but here it is for the Laymen:

via Fastboot flash Recovery, then System, then Boot.

via Ubuntu Recovery or whatever you want to call it, sideload the "phablet" zip, which also flashes it.

Profit? I'll let you guys know, I have a toro (Verizon) so...

flashed it, booted, called voice mail, took few pics, couldn't make camcorder work, tried to connect to wifi, launched browser and my gnex froze.... -> now I am reverting back to android.

It's a pre alpha. Not much to say now. Looks interesting. I like it and I'm looking forward to flash future releases.
[Ubuntu Touch General] m0fizor:
I have a silly question: does it erase my internal memory? Like photos, music etc.
[Ubuntu Touch General] tiny4579:
Really? The images are just standard android type images tweaked for ubuntu. The large file is where the ubuntu data is and it's not device specific. The only way theoretically you could brick is if you flashed for the wrong device and that's not guaranteed. It depends if you overwrite a critical file. Built in checks should also prevent it and Gnex is easy to restore.
[Ubuntu Touch General] agritux:
camera is working.

so?
[Ubuntu Touch General] sendhiloo7:
yes it will erase all datas from phone

What working :

Phone call

Wifi

camera

facebook (web App)

Gmail (web App)

Big weired is some contacts , photos are saved

Need to add contact one by one ( No import option)

Cannt find settings menu

even there is no option to change timezone

1,If want to close app swipe from down to up , u will get one icon.. Click the icon u will option to close

2, If Keyboard not hiding, swipe up from down
[Ubuntu Touch General] tiny4579:
Technically on maguro you can just flash the maguro file then the phablet file since the maguro zip has system and boot and you don't need to swap recoveries. You could flash it on toro if you remove the assert line. Getting phone/data on toro shouldn't be much harder than porting a maguro ROM to toro. It appears they may be still using the android ril. I don't see anything that will wipe your sdcard at least which was my concern.

Let me add and say it wouldn't hurt to backup sdcard to pc after nandroiding your current ROM.
[Ubuntu Touch General] agritux:
i looked into big zip's updater script

there is no format

and my idea is before big zip, flash small zip

i tried flashing small zip between phablet and img files

but not worked.

still no radio
