If i flash this and get bricked will a restore work?

---------- Post added at 03:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:22 PM ----------

Im thinking there is no device specific image. Just one image for specific hardware. Can anyone confirm?
[Nexus 4 General] yabbandroid:
My feeling as well, which is why I wouldn't advise flashing this unless you really know what you're doing.

I mean the folder description does write : "for ARM" so it COULD work. But I am a bit scared at the moment, because there is no mako info at all, and I wouldn't be sure this really is for the nexus.

I hope somebody knows a bit more about the recent releases (and how they apply to our Mako)
[Nexus 4 General] divine1250:
I downloaded the zip instead of the tar file but im a little hesitant. If i can restore from the bad flash i'll do it.
[Nexus 4 General] casonswag:
If u have a bad flash and if u can go into recovery still then u can restore if not just flash back to stock
[Nexus 4 General] divine1250:
Well i flashed the zip and it booted but it seems the same as the 13.04 release. Infact this release broke all data(wifi/gsm) as well as volume. It is safe to flash though.
[Nexus 4 General] kyle1b1:
Was looking forward to Ubuntu but it seems to be going nowhere...shame really.
[Nexus 4 General] yabbandroid:
Bummer, really. Canonical, what are you doing?
[Nexus 4 General] espionage724:
I don't have a linux machine to access atm, but you (or anyone else) can get the actual link to the image by starting the phablet install process from Ubuntu, and then watching Terminal for the URL and image name when it starts downloading the files.

Alternatively, if you want to be sure you get the right build for your Nexus device, just run the phablet installer from Ubuntu and it'll choose it for you :)
[Nexus 4 General] divine1250:
There is only one imagein different file formats.
[Nexus 4 General] XupModz:
Apparently it hasnt been fully converted to saucy yet or something like that I saw it on the Ubuntu os forum
[Nexus 4 General] casonswag:
Maybe we need something else or something with it that sucks
[Nexus 4 General] french-anonymous:
Canonical's work always suck. Ubuntu for desktops (and Ubuntu for phones) is the perfect exemple.
[Nexus 4 General] XupModz:
How exactly does Ubuntu suck?
[Nexus 4 General] timgreen123:
thanks for share this.,

too many system for our smartphone now.

so let's begin

[Nexus 4 General] TheRom:
What were they doing past 6 months, they didnt fix anything. :(
[Nexus 4 General] randomnoob83:
They fixed everything except mobile data.....
[Nexus 4 General] TheRom:
Yes, but i think it is the most important part... :( It wont be a daily driver anytime soon. :(
[Nexus 4 General] yabbandroid:
Maybe there is still another release coming? I somehow don't believe they were referring to this when they talked about having a "functional release" by the end of this month.

I'm praying :angel:

---------- Post added at 01:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:40 PM ----------

Well if this is still like the previous release then there is nothing in it but a OS Preview with preconfigured contacts etc. You cannot even use your own contacts and use it as a telephone :( And lockscreen always has those 12 new tweets by someone else only to showcase :(
[Nexus 4 General] XupModz:
I think your looking at the wrong one
[Nexus 4 General] tory13579:
Not sure what you guys are doing wrong but I flash the mako.zip and raring-phablet zip and calling, mobile data, and WiFi work fine... Worked fine in Saucy too... And I believe contacts is usable but you have to clear the sample data and enter your own, however it is reset after reboot.
[Nexus 4 General] 530farm:
Cant wait for the final builds to be released.
[Nexus 4 General] Sleef:
Indeed. I think people keep forgetting this was a developer preview and not meant to be a daily driver in any way.
[Nexus 4 General] XupModz:
Mobile data is claimed to be working in the touch forum
[Nexus 4 General] thebryceee:
LTE or HSPA?
[Nexus 4 General] XupModz:
HSPA I doubt we will see lte support any time soon
[Nexus 4 General] casonswag:
Pple with mobile data working can u get on the internet on mobile data ?cause that was the thing that was keeping me away mobile data always worked but its just getting on the internet was the issue
[Nexus 4 General] Tunderpimp:
Where can I download this to try it? I've looked
[Nexus 4 General] tory13579:
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch-preview/daily-preinstalled/current/ - For Raring Ringtail

Download "raring-preinstalled-armel+mako.zip" and "raring-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip" and flash them respectively.

http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch/daily-preinstalled/current/ - For Saucy Salamander

Download "raring-preinstalled-armel+mako.zip" (you will get this from the other link) and "saucy-preinstalled-touch-armhf.zip" and flash them respectively.
[Nexus 4 General] casonswag:
Can anyone confirm that data internet works ?
[Nexus 4 General] tory13579:
It worked for me I used it as a daily for a day but I missed my apps haha

I will test it again tomorrow and confirm unless someone else does it first.
[Nexus 4 General] otariq:
I think I'm going to flash the 29th build if only the files didn't take forever to download. I'll let you guys know if mobile data works or not
[Nexus 4 General] otariq:
doesnt seem like mobile data is working it says to check network settings but works as soon as i turn on wifi. if mobile data works and i can sync google contacts with support for core apps like maps and gmail i would consider it as a dd. the keyboard blows btw
[Nexus 4 General] pjc123:
Well, I must say, I am done with LiteFlow. I installed and unistalled it several times, and with different versions, and it only works for a few days and then stops working. It was a nice idea anyway.

EDIT: I responded to another thread and have absolutely no idea how it got here! Oh well. Ignore it.
[Nexus 4 General] Tom540:
You can get LiteFlow on Ubuntu? O:

[Nexus 4 General] pjc123:
I must say, I have absolutely no idea how my response would wind up on this thread, as I was responding to a completely different thread. I didn't even have multiple browsers open. However, I am having a lot of problems with the xda developers forum site lately. I have the nexus 4 forum bookmarked and sometimes when I go there the search box is there, sometimes not, sometimes I get every sub-category under Nexus 4, sometimes none. I suspect it is my ad-blocking software blocking the huge amount of advertisements on this site that is causing the problems.
[Nexus 4 General] karlada:
Is there whatsapp messenger on ubuntu?
[Nexus 4 General] otariq:
Nope its extremely limited to core apps right now (phone, SMS, camera, notepad, calculator, etc)
[Nexus 4 General] hp420:
is there a more up to date flashable zip available than the one canonical released a few months ago? I'd like to give a more recent nightly a shot, but I don't have home internet, I'm almost at my monthly data limit, and I can't take my ubuntu desktop machine to starbucks and connect to their free wifi to do a ppa sync.......although I'd love to see the look on their faces if I did :p
[Nexus 4 General] Neefy:
Why not ;)?
[Nexus 4 General] tory13579:
Got this from the mailing list this morning

So if you are interested in flashing Ubuntu you probably want to use the Saucy builds from now on.
[Nexus 4 General] Vlad87do:
Guys , do anyone knows about

http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch/daily-preinstalled/

its not preview I goes (Im just looking at folder name), i have tried /current build and from /20130604 : nothing was booting ....

any idias difference between folders "ubuntu-touch-preview " and "ubuntu-touch" ???
[Nexus 4 General] u4atharva:
A much needed app, but unfortunately the answer is no.. It is not available YET, but soon it will be available :good:
[Nexus 4 General] XupModz:
It boots for me and that is the right one you only have to flash one file
[Nexus 4 General] Vlad87do:
what did you flashed ??!!!!!111 , actualy you need to flash both files

1. saucy-preinstalled-touch-armel+mako.zip (45 mb)

2. saucy-preinstalled-touch-armhf.zip (343 mb)

sooo wich file did you flashed ??! Oo
[Nexus 4 General] XupModz:
When I flashed there was no mako specific file what was the procedure you used to flash?
[Nexus 4 General] Androyed:
What I'm wondering is: will the Nexus 4 be able to do convergence? It has every aspect of a "high end smartphone", according to them, except for the fact that it only has 16GB storage.
[Nexus 4 General] overflyer:
Its from 12-12 and doesnt seem genuine at all judging from the jpg, but can a dev take a look inside and at least say what it is?

http://www.mediafire.com/?u6z23b4juy92npn
[Nexus 4 General] heat361:
The galaxy nexus will be running the os and it will be able to do convergence. I think convergence relies on whether the processor can handle it.

What's this?
[Nexus 4 General] Androyed:
Yeah that's what I thought. So then I wonder, what does that minimum of 32GB mean?
[Nexus 4 General] overflyer:
APPARENTLY some ubuntu phome flash zip. I can not stress the apparently enough. Thats why I asked a pro to look into it. would be nice!
[Nexus 4 General] heat361:
That's just the minimum storage they will ship an upcoming Ubuntu super phone with. Like Google ships with 8/16gb

Yeah, but where did you find it lol

Edit:I just took a look at it it seems to have a flash able boot loader, but when I was checking some stuff it seemed to have some touchwiz stuff which led me to believe its not legit, but ,maybe you could contact a dev to take a look.
[Nexus 4 General] overflyer:

[Nexus 4 General] ashirviskas:
Looks very interesting (and very dumb :D, walpaper, Chatging :D maybe some not very english friendly asian wrote this :cyclops:)
[Nexus 4 General] :
Counting the days until the next few weeks. The Verge or Engadget YT vid states the GN stuff will get released, hopefully the N4 at the same time.
[Nexus 4 General] tranfunzel:
How do you know the galaxy nexus will be able to do the convergence? In the demo video, the convergence mode wasn't shown.
[Nexus 4 General] Androyed:
Exactly. That's what worries me too. But in the engadget hands-on video, he did talk about convergence WHILE holding a Galaxy Nexus, and not once did he mention the fact that you need more than 16GB, or even more than 32GB. Why would you anyway?
[Nexus 4 General] draugaz:
Frankly I don't get what all the fuss is about.

Said "convergence" is nothing more than a fancy name for a quite normal ubuntu distribution which just happens to be installed alongside.

Flash storage requirements depend on what exactly do you want to be there. Starting from tens of megabytes for a naked minimal desktop enviroment like lxde or similar and going up to gazillions of gigabytes once you start adding your required software and data files.

Not like it wasn't done before, motorola atrix webtop mode was exactly that. Did it take over the world? Somehow does not look like that.

As for the "ubuntu mobile", html5 and so on, it was done before. By and large it is yet another meego/tizen and webos. Colour me unimpressed.
[Nexus 4 General] Androyed:
I totally agree with you, but what's that chart about then? What do they mean with a minimum of 32GB? Is it only a recommendation? Like, "if you're going to use the desktop mode, you are probably going to use your smartphone as your (main) computer, which means that you will need a lot of storage for files/apps you would normally have on the hard disk of your laptop".

I doubt Ubuntu OS is going to get very populair on phones, but I do think that having a smartphone as your computer is the future. At home, you will only have a screen, mouse and keyboard, and you just plug in your smartphone. You might even have a portable screen/keyboard where you plug in your smartphone, like a laptop. It's way more logical. Why have two pieces of hardware both with a quad core CPU? In the future, smartphones will be more than capable to handle everything you need. Heck, they already can. For more advanced tasks (like games) you are going to need something better, something which doesn't fit in your palm, but that might change. And gaming computers (things like playstations) will always exist. The technology for that will always be advanced, which means it will never fit in your palm. If a CPU fits in your palm, you know there something better (and bigger) out there which games take advantage off.
[Nexus 4 General] tranfunzel:
Yeah, I hope it's only a recommendation - well, that's the only thing that seems reasonable considering that ubuntu is open-source -, and the chart is on the page for OEMs and Operators, so it is perhaps not a recommendation for the end-user, but a recommendation or a requirement for the companies that probably want to sell a ubuntu phone that can be called a "superphone".
[Nexus 4 General] altimax98:
I think I speak for a lot of people when I say that Android is a fantastic operating system, and for the next few years I won't look elsewhere for my primary needs. But that said a lot of us are eternal tinkerers. We change things for the simple fact of changing things, do things for the simple fact of doing them. I feel that's where Ubuntu OS is going to shine. I will possibly use it as my primary phone OS (providing its stable and supporters native Google Voice) just because I have drempt that Google would make an interface similar to Ubuntu Phone.

From a visual aspect, it is part Windows Phone, part Android, part iOS and all sexy.

I hope it really opens the doors wide open for 2 things... 1: publishers to build out and support native HTML5 better, 2: force Android to propel forward.

If Ubuntu fails, I hope Google takes the developers, just like they did with Palm and now we have so much awesome in JellyBean.
[Nexus 4 General] heat361:
I heard Mr.Shuttleworth say it in the Engadget video I believe
[Nexus 4 General] altimax98:
Honestly with the Galaxy Nexus being the only reference phone right now it should work. But when it goes mainstream I'd expect a 32GB requirement.
[Nexus 4 General] k1l:
I hope that Ubuntu-Phone will make it into the Market and that there will be a Image for the Nexus4.

Im satisfied with how Android runs on the Nexus4 but i think the Ubuntu-Phone OS gives some of really new Ideas how to use a mobile Desktop on a Smartphone.

Dont get me wrong here: im not sayin everyone got to use this or that the "old" Android and iOS Homescreen usage with the Hard/Softbuttons got to be dropped.

I just think it is really nice to have a choice what to use and maybe they introduce some Ideas that will make the life on Android some easier?

So after CES, when most probably, the Images for the GNex will be released i hope to see some Ubuntu-Phone action to happen to our lovely Nexus4 :)

[Nexus 4 General] dragon_76:
Well, the nice part is that it doesn't look like Android or iOS, but seems pretty obvious on how to use it, except for the gestures (which is odd because everyone and their Chris Pirilo has bashed MS for using edge gestures).

What is the most odd thing is that they didn't start with an OS that just booted to the interface and then worked on apps. They created all kinds of nonfunctional mannequins and then threw it at "the community" to do the work. I'm still not convinced this will work. It ends up woth too many chefs in the kitchen and no overall theme like Holo, Aqua, or Metro.

I also personally believe they are overly dependant on AOSP (actually CyanogenMod).
[Nexus 4 General] xboxfanj:
They are dependent on cm because in order for it to be compatible with android devices, they either need opensource GPU drivers or ones made for Ubuntu, or to be compatible with the android ones, which is the easier solution for now and those android device specific binaries rely on standard android libraries and binaries such as surfaceflinger, so for now, this is their best option. I'm sure they'll work with Qualcomm to get native drivers for it. I think based on an interview with a Canonical lead developer that once devices have native drivers that they will be able to use them, but the chroot on Android may be possible forever for those without.
[Nexus 4 General] dragon_76:
Let me clarify something that wasn't unclear to begin with: I never asked WHY they were dependent on CM, I already know why they chose to kang. I stated I believe they are too dependent on Cyanogen team's work. The whole thing from start to finish is very "hack-y". Firefox OS is not doing this. Jolla Sailfish is not doing this. Tizen is not doing this.
[Nexus 4 General] hp420:
Can someone please give me some help flashing the daily rom? I notice some people are saying all you need are two zips, but there are far more than that specifically labelled 'mako'. I just need to know should I back up my storage files first, what zips do I need to flash, in what order, and can I flash them with twrp 2.5.0.0?

Thanks!
[Nexus 4 General] thebryceee:
You ALWAYS back up before trying something new.
[Nexus 4 General] sam razzy:
What you mean they are not doing this ? Is that you mean canonical is imitating the work of kang build as their source. Can you please tell me what exactly canonical is doing ? :eek: I think u know everything about their sources.. Hmm pretty interesting
[Nexus 4 General] dragon_76:
I'm not here, nor have I been here for the last 6 years, to prove my knowledge to random jackholes on the internet. This thread is about opinions of the video and Ubuntu. If you would like to start a thread that has my knowledge of a project as the topic, feel free.
[Nexus 4 General] xboxfanj:
Right and those minus Firefox os aren't easy to port to android. Firefox os is also based on aosp like Ubuntu and uses the same build system, structure, and most system files such as libraries and binaries.
[Nexus 4 General] dragon_76:
Oh, so Firefox OS is now a kang chroot? You had better alert the Gonk, Gecko and Gaia teams. Firefox OS is NOT based on AOSP. It actually only shares a small portion of Android open source.
[Nexus 4 General] xboxfanj:
Like Ubuntu, the framework and applications are completely original, but there are very few changes in the libraries and binaries in order to remain compatible. It does run natively, but shares just as much android code as Ubuntu.
[Nexus 4 General] sam razzy:

I didn't wipe anything then flashed in the same order and still got a bootloop.
[Nexus 4 General] Tunderpimp:
I get a bootloop too, I flash the mako which is the smaller zip. Then I flash the large. I just put them in Q. It gets to the Google logo that fades the screen flashes and it starts all over. I wiped like I was coming from another rom.

I did the same thinf the first time. The second time I didn't wipe ANYTHING and flashed each zip by itself(never leaving recovery though) and still got a bootloop.

I tried it with out wiping too and still get the boot loop. But it's only on the saucy builds the other works fine

Does the other have mobile data working? If so what's the link to the downloads? All I can seem to get to using Google are the Saucy builds
