any porting guides for noobs???

the one on the ubuntu wiki is way too brief and doesn't explain much :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

---------- Post added at 09:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 PM ----------

the good thing is when the final image will be released we will all have a ready rom in hours and it also let's any one to just check it out and force him help detect the bugs speeding up the release process and attracting oem, the plan is genius for the first time ubuntu feels like a true open source project!
[Nexus S General] Matsca09:
Ok guys, I've fixed the hardware acceleration so now the graphics is incredibly smooth! :laugh:

I agree with you, at the current status it's much similar to a demo, but if we start now to port the system, there's a good chance to get the final release to run fluid, smooth and without bugs on our phones :)

I've heard there is no WhatsApp on Ubuntu. Is that true?
[Nexus S General] jojoost:
Not yet, but I think it will be there as soon as the OS will be there for a few weeks
[Nexus S General] spider623:
do you really need that thing for a phone os that is out for only 24h?

let it mature and let them build an webapp first and then we will get it, plus the current whatsapp is no good, it only works on a few platforms and compared to viber that is truly free and runs in every mobile platform out there and also let you do voice calls, well it's not even useful not to mention that whatsapp is under beta and after that they will charge

guys those 'free voice calling' apps are absolute garbage!! If you want good quality voice calls then use SIP. You open an account on a server that hosts and re-routes your calls to an app installed on your device using your google voice account. The sound quality is lightyears better than grooveIP, etc.

check out this thread here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2057887

do #5 simonics gateway.

The only downfall to this is a different phone number and no mms to that phone number. otherwise this is the easiest way to get decent quality free voice calling ;)

I'm looking for development news on the Chronus widget allegedly shipping on nightly builds as of a few days ago.

I still haven't seen it, is there any current build for our phones that supports it?

if not, does anyone know how to install it? and wether it runs on any launcher?

Thanks in advance
[Motorola Droid RAZR] FloMi:
I extracted it, but it won't install on ParanoidAndroid
[Motorola Droid RAZR] evonc:
Umm the widget is just a standard apk that you need to push to system. After that you can select the widget in lockscreen and configure it for any rom that supports widgets on lockscreen.

Here is a screenshot of it from my N4 running AOKP however, the widget is compatible with any ROM with lockscreen support. You can find the Chronus widget on xda thread.

Also you can just install the apk directly. That way it will stay through rom updates and save you the hassle of pushing it to system every time.

No it just allows calendar and weather. The notification part is from ParanoidAndroid. I'm sure you can get other widgets to get the same result.

Have you updated to 4.0.4? If so I heard of a similar situation but the guy lost one hell of a lot of his data. You must remove the sim card and SD card. With the phone turned of, press and hold the volume down button, and then briefly press the lock button. Wait for the screen with the 3 Android images to appear, and then release the volume down button. Press volume down to select clear storage and then press power.

Hi,

I found out that I have problems with my serial number and product code. This was due to an error using spooffw as described below:

3. Pressed the step 3 button*

In fixing I messed up my backup and my back up nv_data.bin isn't working either

I've found S-note and papyrus both to be quite good for note taking. nothing beats ezpdf for pdf annotation. skitch in combination with evernote is also pretty nice for annotating web pages if you want it saved in evernote (or you can share it to s-note or save it as a pdf to use with ezpdf if you don't care about it being in evernote).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] JarkMackson:
Honestly S-Note is pretty good. The one thing I'm dying for is for the handwriting input to automatically enter a space after recognizing a word.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] GMAN1722:
+1 sometimes remembering to put the space is annoying. But the handwriting recognition works pretty well. I also would like to be able to add more fonts (like a handwriting font) to the handwriting recognition.

I use the asus supernote app. Jusslt google an apk of it. Lots of features that nake it easier to use in class... for me at least.

One of my concerns with S Note is that I will be stuck with Samsung Touchwiz and Galaxy Note to use it, it will be hard to be available on other phones and especially if not Touchwiz.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] toxictv:
I've been using LectureNotes for the past week or so in my Organic Chem and Physics 2 classes. I've compared it to S Note, Papyrus, and a couple others..

[Ubuntu Touch General] SferaDev:
Well I prefer Android as most of the developers in xda(excluding wm) and I'm waiting Ubuntu for Android because can be dual booted at the same time you run android but seriously Ubuntu for phones will visit my device just to try the swipe system not as a daily use.

Also I prefer Java(and its derivates) while programming and I don't know how will HTML5 work in Ubuntu, but it will never be like a native app.

I don't really see the point of this, to be honest, with Android already being so dominant and with Mozilla's Firefox OS already targeting HTML5 app developers. I guess Ubuntu are trying to sell it based on the brand, 'cause your average desktop GTK+ app is gonna look like **** on that, so they want people writing new Qt+QML apps for it. Still, at least it appears to be getting multitasking right; Android's implementation has always annoyed me.

For those waiting to use ubuntu on their S3, why not consider LMT apk (latest version 1.66) and configure gestures. On mine, I just put swipe on right = previous active app, swipe to left= next active app, swipe from top to bottom= return home, swipe from bottom to top= recent apps. Combined with the multiwindow tray (that is configurable, as I am on a custom rom) , I have the ergonomy depicted in the ubuntu for phones in the videos. Of course it is still android, but I find it is a nice way to interact with my phone, eg swipe up in any app= recent apps without pressing for sooo long on the home button, so I can save my physical power button.

Hope it will help some of you.

No, I really meant lmt apk. I also use it on my nexus, as there was no need for any loss of screen estate with softkeys. I use this app since 4.0.4. It shows as a pie,or gestures can be configured, or use both. When using the pie, you get all the commands -home back-recents-menu-search.you can define the lenght of the area you want to be active, and from edge to edge, u can activate the pie. I prefer the gestures, rather than a pie appearing when prompted, but that's my taste.
