[Nexus 4 General] speedyjay:
anybody?? ive tried everything but having no luck :(
[Nexus 4 General] noowb00:
Peeps, how to get to the settings? My SSID is hidden, I can't find the option to add a hidden network.. Now I had to live without internet in my phone... So far, it's running great!
[Nexus 4 General] J.L.C.:
Not bad, a little laggy but cool!
[Nexus 4 General] big nu:
Did you use this method? If so, you don't have to wipe data(factory reset)? Just flash over the ROM?
[Nexus 4 General] tory13579:
Anyone tried this method?

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Install

Any differences if functionality from this vs flashing? (Probably not but just asking)
[Nexus 4 General] casonswag:
I would factory reset since this is a tottaly diff OS

---------- Post added at 03:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:15 PM ----------

I think way would wipe everything
[Nexus 4 General] teraih:
i love the UI, looks very cool.

looking forward to stable version, might even use it as a daily os if it supports more apps.
[Nexus 4 General] neer2005:
Factory reset, wipe cache, the works then flashed both zips, flash successful but it wouldn't boot :(
[Nexus 4 General] teraih:
flash two zips again, should work
[Nexus 4 General] noowb00:
Dude, you don't have to do a factory reset. Just flash the zips and you're done. Flash zips and boot. That's it. I wiped too but it wouldn't boot. Yes, the thought of moving into a new OS came to me and I too thought that it would need a factory reset. It actually didn't! :D Well, I'm not that knowledgeable, I'm just saying from my experience of flashing it just now.

Back to PA 3+ :D Can't use Ubuntu as my daily driver. Too buggy but good enough for a preview. I simply love the gestures!!!
[Nexus 4 General] zzuurraa:
Has touch sensitivity increased or is it the same as on android?
[Nexus 4 General] noowb00:
Just about the same.. Eh no. Probably worse.. Try it. Worth the shot. I'm back on Android already :P

sent from a Quadcore Krait Beast
[Nexus 4 General] Nuu~:
it uses mostly the same driver, so the sensitivity should be the same.
[Nexus 4 General] ismethajametovic:
The gov't wouldnt allow that. Monopoly!
[Nexus 4 General] wngmv:
Need a guide as to how to use it....
[Nexus 4 General] noowb00:
Swipe from the left or right edge of the screen. Keep in mind that it's gesture based ui. Everything is edge-swipes :D

sent from a Quadcore Krait Beast
[Nexus 4 General] DesignGrits:
Youtube videos...
[Nexus 4 General] :
It's the same, BUT pinch to zoom doesn't have a delay like it does on Android.

However, the keyboard seems to miss a lot of touches.
[Nexus 4 General] wngmv:
Does double swipe do anything? I'm kinda getting to the hang of it.

BTW N4 looks awesome in the Gallery app. Gmail not working for me at the moment.

Def has potential. Much better than, say, Android Cupcake.
[Nexus 4 General] DesignGrits:
Its more like a preview version if anything, it doesn't allow you setup the phone as you would normally do with a new phone. lts nice to get something, but I was expecting much more. Seems like they have a long way to go
[Nexus 4 General] HearthC0re:
Remember, it's a preview for developers to apply and program their own apps and changes for.

Don't judge at all.
[Nexus 4 General] DesignGrits:
I understand that, but I would think developers would want to see how the os works as far as setting stuff up, and how things interact with each other. I really like it so far, I just was expecting more from a preview version if that makes sense.
[Nexus 4 General] speedyjay:
Has anyone worked out how to delete inbox messages yet??
[Nexus 4 General] Wingzer:
Has anybody written a guide for doing this in a Windows machine ?

Cba installing a linux distro just to install a dev build on my N4.
[Nexus 4 General] speedyjay:
Just put the 2 .zip files on your sd card and flash through cwm....its the same os but quicker process and less hassle lol
[Nexus 4 General] james300:
5 min test lol , good preview
[Nexus 4 General] Wingzer:
Cheers fella.
[Nexus 4 General] SysAdmNj:
Does this wipe your internal sd card like your photos?
[Nexus 4 General] speedyjay:
Have you got the correct files bud?? They need to be flashed in sequence....
[Nexus 4 General] lininjim:
No mate
[Nexus 4 General] Nuu~:
Has anyone figured out how to activate the data connection?

I'm asking because on their site it says that it should work on the GNex and the N4
[Nexus 4 General] Winglerw28:
"Connection to the GSM Network" =/= 3G/4G connectivity. AFAIK, internet connectivity over anything other than WiFi doesn't work yet.

I can't even get mine to boot. It just freezes immediately after booting, and I am stuck at a non-responsive screen that has the lock screen and says "14 tweets received".
[Nexus 4 General] Nuu~:
I know that GSM isn't the same as 3G. The problem is, I can't even connect to GSM services.

Have you tried swiping from the right to the left edge? This should unlock it if it's not completely frozen,
[Nexus 4 General] paescheh:

Call me old fashioned but i just love the android navbar :P

I had problems to get only one step back on Ubuntu.

But I'll definitly give it a try later when i gets more developed. It's an awesome project.

WiFi does work I can confirm it worked on the leak too...but mobile data is not working it isn't even in the build read the release notes it tells you everything
[Nexus 4 General] Mi|enko:
Did you try swiping from the right edge of the screen?
[Nexus 4 General] italia0101:
Its nice . but its a dev preview ... Not ready for prime time
[Nexus 4 General] XupModz:
It is also supposed to be updated daily and the source code is being released tomorrow

i can confirm i can sms/wifi/browser/camera

and its responsive. i just hope apps for DL gets nice soon

it doesnt sync files from ubuntu one...which is sad coz its shld have behaved like androids google backups..
[Nexus 4 General] MountainX:
How much free space on the device do you need before installing? I am going to install on my 16GB Galaxy Nexus. But I only have 700MB free after doing my backups. Is that sufficient?
[Nexus 4 General] casonswag:
Dam how many backups do u need?
[Nexus 4 General] cYbOrG5:
how to change this bloody ubuntu phone os clock that is locked to london?

:D

frustrations frustrations
[Nexus 4 General] XupModz:
Lol I'd like to know as well
[Nexus 4 General] MountainX:
I have one nandroid backup and one Titanium backup. Plus I have my music and other files on my phone. It sucks that Nexus devices don't have SD cards. I never have enough space. My next phone will have an SD card.
[Nexus 4 General] jamesbra:
the ubuntu impressions thread mentions having to do it from command line. idk man, i guess just try to search that out
[Nexus 4 General] sucre213:
Anyone how to flash this os>?

Already check the website ,didn't get any clue

what is PPA?do we have to have unbuntu desktop os to install unbuntu phone os?
[Nexus 4 General] ak700:
WARNING FOR NEXUS 4 USERs!

I actually got stuck in a massive problem. I flashed Ubuntu and played with it for my hearts content. Now when I tried to go back I was greeted with the red led thing that people were getting. I wasn't able to do anything. I manually removed the battery, heated it, and tried it. I turns that Ubuntu hogs the battery and doesn't allow proper charging. Don't know whether that was my fault, but I never experienced the red led thing before.
[Nexus 4 General] XupModz:
Just install the device file then the phablet file they can be found within this thread but you should read a bit too before flashing it's pre-alpha
[Nexus 4 General] Rouz.:
Can't get it to boot

​

I tried installing it from Ubuntu (with the given instruction on the website), and I tried to install it manually by flashing the zip files.

It just doesn't boot! I get a blank screen forever after the reboot!

Edit: using cwm recovery
[Nexus 4 General] muunda:
updates

anyone know were I will be able to get the daily updates, and were the change logs will be?
[Nexus 4 General] XupModz:
I don't understand how what recovery are you using?
[Nexus 4 General] webharsh:
Now how do I power it off and go back to recovery?
[Nexus 4 General] XupModz:
Hold power button until it shuts off then let go then hold power and volume down without a USB plugged into a pc
[Nexus 4 General] alexanderi:
Have flashed Ubuntu on my N4...nice interface but its buggy and not all feature works.
[Nexus 4 General] sy224048:
Yes I believe that every other post in this thread has to do with the fact that it's buggy
[Nexus 4 General] danyal241:
its a developers preview. It will take time to get used to it. Remember ubuntu was natively developed for x86 not arm
[Nexus 4 General] webharsh:
Thanks. Worked. Ubuntu is great. Will be interesting see as it matures.
[Nexus 4 General] iceman92:
does installing ubuntu thru recovery wipe the internal storage?
[Nexus 4 General] clockcycle:
Definitely hope Google does not buy or interfere with it, good competition is good.. Looks like lots of nice ideas, already saw that the edge swiping looked cumbersome, perhaps the phone was too small.

Looks like it will be compatible with windows phone and android devices.. Gives you hardware and now OS options.. Wished PALM stayed alive making webOS and not worry about hardware, we'd have even more options.
[Nexus 4 General] webharsh:
No.
[Nexus 4 General] mailboy1412:
No, it won't wipe your internal sdcard but make sure you have a nandroid backup to restore back to.
[Nexus 4 General] veyka:
Seems to run "fine", but it has a problem with discoverablity in its current form, this seems to go for all gesture based systems, for example I was sitting at the lock screen swiping away, and nothing was happening, until I touched the edge by accident.

So they need to work on some sort of tutorials, like the overlays Google throws up in some places, or glowing edges etc.
[Nexus 4 General] Unconn:
I was just messing around with this.. and is this running on top of some CM code? This was found in the logcat when captured from boot. I have never had CM10.1 on my Nexus 4.

You could be right. I am thinking they used the Kernel source, but have not verified that yet.

No it's not your fault. Everybody should know about this problem regarding (only) the N4 and Ubuntu OS. Read the Release Notes!

After removing the backplate your warranity is totally void!

[Nexus 4 General] BravoMotorola:
So let me get this straight, you can't use this as a daily driver as the phones radio doesn't work? Only wifi?
[Nexus 4 General] xboxfanj:
It is based on cm source and has Ubuntu stuff thrown in.

Call and text do, but no data.

[Nexus 4 General] zander145:
Is getting rid of it as simple as flashing a rom in recovery?
[Nexus 4 General] noowb00:
It's as restoring a backup from a recovery. That's if you flash the zips through recovery. Never read someone manage to get it booted through the images tho. Just do a nandroid backup of your Android then flash the two zips without wiping your data. It'll be wiped automatically. If you wipe, you'll stuck at boot.

sent from a Quadcore Krait Beast
[Nexus 4 General] XupModz:
I got it to boot both ways but you must have the zips even if you do the imgs
[Nexus 4 General] noowb00:
Oh, nice. Is there any difference between the zips and imgs?

sent from a Quadcore Krait Beast
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
Says who? There are no warranty seals to break doing it.
[Nexus 4 General] XupModz:
No the imgs are for people without custom recoveries the zips are for us the people who have unlocked and installed twrp or cwm

EDIT: and if you look inside the zips for each device it has system and the kernel (boot.IMG) in there

Ooh.. Nice. Didn't thought of that :P Thanks!

USB host function doesnt work either!!

Apart from other things.. usb keyboard doesnt work.. usb mouse works but you cant see the pointer!!.. also usb flash disk doesnt show up.. dont know if it mounts n there is no app to show contents (on gnex)..

I like the overall feel n concepts .. lets see how it goes after getting basic functionality.. i do hope its real linux under the hood with apt kinda package managment not just sandboxed and easier porting tools available for atleast few dozen current apps of daily use.. good luck ubunut..

updates

Does anyone know when this os will get updates, and were the change logs will be?

thanks
[Nexus 4 General] tory13579:
Played with it last night. A little choppy at first but once fully booted it was very very smooth. Doesn't use battery efficiently so be warned it drains about 20% and hour so if you get carried away you can easily lose battery and the red LED issue.
[Nexus 4 General] XupModz:
Soon they will be releasing nightlies don't know about the change log
[Nexus 4 General] mutantkeyboard:
set clock

for all of you guys that want to change clock here is what you have to do ...

MENTION: password for phablet is phablet.

Set up ssh access to the phone by installing openssh (see instructions on Ubuntu page)

sudo apt-get install openssh-server

After you did that

ssh phablet@local-ip-dedicated-to-the phone (in my case 192.168.1.9)

echo "Europe/Zagreb" | sudo tee /etc/timezone

$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure --frontend noninteractive tzdata

if you want 24h fourmat

sudo nano /etc/environment LC_TIME="en_DK.UTF-8" # iso-8601, 24h + weeks start Mon + format yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM

in the case that echo Europe/Zagreb or whatever timezone you use doesn't work, then manually edit /etc/timezone

I downloaded nano editor using

sudo apt-get install nano

password: phablet as mentioned

sudo nanno /etc/timezone

now delete these lines Timezone/UTC and replace with your choice for example Australia/Adelaide and CTRL+ALT+O to write and CTRL+ALT+X to close the file (if you use Ubuntu on Mac use FN+Control+Option+O and FN+Control+Option+X to close)

In the case that it still shows utc do the following

edit /etc/default/rcS

and set UTC to show no

# Set UTC=yes if your hardware clock is set to UTC (GMT)
UTC=no

when you finish with that do

sudo service hwclock restart

to reset hardware clock and just in case

sudo reboot

to reboot device. You should have 24hour format now displayed

I hope this helps a bit

---------- Post added at 09:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:06 PM ----------

And if I wasn't clear in the previous post about timezone. You can see the list of available time zones by

entering

cat /usr/share/zoneinfo/zone.tab | more

and then find the corresponding timezone, which means that if you live in Amsterdam you'll choose Europe/Amsterdam instead of Europe/Zagreb or if you live in the USA, you'll choose America/New_York for example or Asia/Tokyo respectively.

I hope I clarified this enough.

Just hit thanks if I helped you.
[Nexus 4 General] maddoggin:
Just out of curiosity. Do you have any work available? Any Roms? Would like to check it out if you do? Always looking for new stuff! Thanks!
[Nexus 4 General] Zurginator:
Definitely planning on making this my daily when it gets to that point --- the only app I really need is Pandora. Hopefully that will be usable on mobile web if nothing else?

I want to be able to finally say to my iPhone friends "Buttons are so 2007". As it currently stands the N4 has no buttons, sure, but that's just a half-assed (if great) move to the screen for them.
[Nexus 4 General] tory13579:
With Pa and pie you can pretty much say there are no buttons. Then they ask how do you navigate? You say "with my mind!" :D

[Nexus 4 General] Kid Poker:
I tried going from fully stock, never rooted/bootloader locked to unlocking the bootloader, and flashing the Ubuntu files. I've tried twice and it always reboots after installing the files, I see the lock screen, but the time is off and I can't do anything on the screen.
[Nexus 4 General] ir.malik:
Try swipe complete screen from left to right..

sorry I am editing it .. its right to left to unlock the lock screen..
[Nexus 4 General] XupModz:
And you have to touch the edge on the right
[Nexus 4 General] Zurginator:
I AM using pie --- but it's still buttons, just hidden. I like the whole edge swipe idea, and always thought it should have been the way Google handled 4.0 to begin with. Swipe from left to go back, right for the multitask window, up for home, and down for notifications.
[Nexus 4 General] P8TRIOT:
I don't suppose we have the ability to dual boot Ubuntu and Android? Anyone who has flashed, was it fairly simple to flash back? And what method did you use? CWM and nandroid?
[Nexus 4 General] aharnick2013:
If you want to go back to Android from Ubuntu, is it as simple as going to recovery and flashing an android custom ROM?

will there support for x86 based phones (like motorola razr i). these phones are not so frequent like arm based.
[Nexus 4 General] XupModz:
It is very easy to come back I just backed up in TWRP (will work on cwm too) and flashed the two zips and then went into recovery and restored the backup

[Nexus 4 General] YoursTrulySarcastic:
Hey guys ive thought of a potentially troubling problem and I want to know what you guys think. As Ubuntu Touch progresses, there will be games released. With the swipe gestures for the UI being as they are, how will games that rely on swipes work? If you're playing fruit ninja and you swipe to slice a fruit, you could potentially exit out of the program. Any thoughts on how this could be solved? I'm just thinking waaaay ahead
[Nexus 4 General] xboxfanj:
Only edge swipes matter. For fruit ninja, you swipe from the middle.

[Nexus 4 General] mbucks911:
i cant wait for some kind of release for the nexus 4. using those gestures with the sloped sides of the n4 would be amazing. hopefully the nexus 4 will be "unlocked" enough for them to make a build for it, too
[Nexus 4 General] Noobla_Khan:
Doesn't get any more "unlocked" than a Nexus device.
[Nexus 4 General] altimax98:
Two things to remember about the choice of devices:

1: the Galaxy Nexus was out when they started the project, probably around the beginning of 2012.

2: the galaxy nexus is still the newest Nexus device with full source. They said they are including backwards compatibility with Android devices and a fully open sourced phone is the best place to start. Sadly after almost 3 months it doesn't appear full source for the Nexus 4 will be coming anytime soon and until then expect the Galaxy Nexus to be 'the' reference device developers use.

Also they did say that it should work on any newer Android device,.. Expect the devs to have fun with the source from the Gnex and it'll be here in no time
[Nexus 4 General] DroidDavi:
I would love to give this a try never flashed on my gnex
[Nexus 4 General] hicks12:
Looks interesting however from what I have seen sailfish looks much more promising

I read in an article somewhere that images for nexus 4 already exist and are available to developers courtesy of canonical. Has anyone else heard this?

Edit: here's the link http://www.dailytech.com/Ubuntu+for+Android+Gets+Official/article29537.htm
[Nexus 4 General] header2k:
Sounds promising, especially that it uses Android drivers is awesome. And that native apps are programmed with c/++ which should make it fast (compared to java on Android). I hope that most of the apps aren't going to be written in HTML like the early iPhone "apps" but are written native and that canonical doesn't drop the project like it happend with MeeGo, Maemo & co.Finally another open source OS which can compete with android in the term of usability. But I think I'm going to wait for Debian or arch 4 phones ^^
