well im staying away until this can be a DD lol.

"In rare circumstances, the Nexus4 may get into a state where it may not boot at all after the battery is drained ( even into recovery ). If this happens, the only way to restore it is to disassemble the back of the phone and unplug/plug the battery connector."
[Ubuntu Touch General] guitmz:
sure u can :S just put the zips into ur device and install with recovery.. or use fastboot
[Ubuntu Touch General] mkalter:
Ahh, I might know how to fix ril for CDMA ;D

Did anyone try to flash it with CWM ?

I'm eager to try it but I'm also afraid of bricking my device.
[Ubuntu Touch General] EddyOS:
I meant they've not put the images up to be manually downloaded (or if they have I can't see them on their Wiki page). I'll just grab the mirror this evening
[Ubuntu Touch General] Stealyourface:

[Ubuntu Touch General] mkalter:
I'm gonna try in a minute or so
[Ubuntu Touch General] lesp4ul:
What???? I was trolling for god sake, :banghead::screwy:

FYI google does have apps for ios if you don't know yet.
[Ubuntu Touch General] Misledz:
I am confused as hell, the site does not tell you "You need to flash A, B" it just tells you what to do on a Linux. ---Well jeez Canonical, I'm using a Windows, can we get instructions for the platform we MOST use?

I have a total of 7 files now. Img, Zip and I'm not sure what's missing or what needs to be flashed other than the "Phablet" and Preinstall, that seems like 2/7 files or something is missing in it to get the modem signal running.
[Ubuntu Touch General] sas69:
Please post the result :)

What good is a developer preview when it doesnt have mobile data?c

Any GPS related app most likely does need some sort of data connection.. and having no mobile data is a pain.. unless you just want to TEST the GPS app while running around your home lol.
[Ubuntu Touch General] Lesicnik1:
There's already a forum for it: http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2068

[Ubuntu Touch General] farshad525hou:
I'm gonna guess the method that's posted on the OP will work. I'm going to try in a sec.
[Ubuntu Touch General] fcb13:
The "yakju-jdq39-factory-b2ebb5f3.tgz" ( or any version) that you downloaded cannot be flashed in CWM im pretty sure. Inside it there is another folder "yakju-jdq39" (for me), and within that there is:

- bootloader-maguro-primelc03.img

- flash-all.bat

- flash-all.sh

- flash-base.sh

- image-yakju-jdq39.zip

- radio-mahuro-i9250xxlj1.img

So how do we flash?
[Ubuntu Touch General] kingofpeople:
so, is there any way to download images and flash them without ubuntu-pc?
[Ubuntu Touch General] afraaa:
I have installed ubunto .. Some versions on some computer with no error .. Man this is world wide open source os if it was like u are saying sure developer would been heard about this messy u are talking about .

Most friendly ui is on ubuntu .. Anyway i like it .
[Ubuntu Touch General] Zepius:
considering thats the google image... you're right. it cant be flashed in cwm.
[Ubuntu Touch General] jsgraphicart:
It says you can connect to a GSM network
[Ubuntu Touch General] Ace42:
Of course not but, it will be in a better position than when android began. Ubuntu is popular so it shouldn't be long till android apps are ported to the mobile os.
[Ubuntu Touch General] himura09:
Cant wait to flash..but how bout the application is that still compatibe with android one?
[Ubuntu Touch General] salahmed:
No it will have it's own applications and the developers can build the apps using HTML5 or QML. I think the application should be a regular Ubuntu app but with touch UI
[Ubuntu Touch General] 063_XOBX:
I'm going to have to question that. Ubuntu is faaaar from popular. I has at most single digit market share of personal computers globally and is a confusing new name to a populace that has only just started to have incredibly popular android phones. And it took Android 5 years to get there. I'm not sure the public will be interested in more than the 3 OS's on most smartphones. Even BB10 has more of a potential than Ubuntu to be the next major player, and I give them slim to no odds.
[Ubuntu Touch General] barry99705:
The top 4 Linux distributions are Mint, Ubuntu, Fedora, and Debian, in that order. Three of those 4 are Debian based. Most of the Debian repository has already been compiled to run on arm processors. I don't see it being too awful hard for developers to reskin their desktop apps to work with the phone os. Hell I used to run Debian on a 640X480 pda! Will it "kill" android, most definitely not. I think it will do better than crackberry and windows phone though. Well maybe windows phone, some people still think Windows is the only good operating system. Can't talk sense into some people... ;)
[Ubuntu Touch General] heat361:
BB10 only has a chance with big corporate companies IMO.If by some chance Ubuntu catches on it would be a lovely is, but the big carriers here like at&t and Verizon would not care for it on any phones they sell. They would hate to see an open os and a phone with an unlocked bootloader. I think that Google should purchase Ubuntu and use it as a desktop solution it would make a good purchase IMO.
[Ubuntu Touch General] BrianDigital:
Why are we having a debate if this will take off and be a commercial success? That doesn't seem to be stopping the development of Ubuntu, mint, fedora, etc.
[Ubuntu Touch General] 063_XOBX:
Personally I just don't want people getting their hopes up. WebOS was a joy to use but flopped horribly because people just didn't care. I'm not convinced Ubuntu mobile will be any different.
[Ubuntu Touch General] BrianDigital:
I would just spend my time doing something else.

Though I do remember people posting on various internet forums about how dumb Microsoft was to make a gaming console, or apples iPhone will flop, and why would anyone use a phone from a search company.

So who really cares if someone's excited to experience exclusively a brand new phone os without buying a new phone. Not like that happens all the time
[Ubuntu Touch General] nickcct:
Can't wait to flash it once release. But hope it give good battery life.
[Ubuntu Touch General] insane08:
Can't we just be happy this is happening?

No need to debate if it will be a fail or even be better than android or iOS.

Lets just be glad that they picked the Nexus as their dev phone, and that they are actually doing this.

It is something great that has come our way and the best thing is we don't have to do anything.

Only time will tell the real story! :good:
[Ubuntu Touch General] bob.santaniello:
CDMA

So there is no way that this will be available for the Verizon gnex? Let me know now before I get all excited over this amazing looking beast.
[Ubuntu Touch General] Midnitte:
Interesting that they haven't said anything about the nexus 4, does the nexus 4 not meet the recommended specs that they said using the full OS would require?

Least the gnexus should be easy to obtain used. :D
[Ubuntu Touch General] jimmyco2008:
I'm pretty sure this has been said before, but I can't expect you to read through however many pages this thread is up to, no sarcasm. Canonical has said Ubuntu Mobile uses Android drivers, meaning the Verizon version should be fully supported. I would think anyway. No one really knows though, because it hasn't come out yet.

That'd be a real bummer though, but I'm assuming all version will be supported, I'm diving into the SDK for it and everything.

---------- Post added at 12:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:22 AM ----------

Well Ubuntu Mobile has been in the works for at least a year, I forget what the founder of Canonical had said, but then the GalNex was not only Pure Google but like top of the line in specs.

I'm sure the Nexus 4 will get support along with all the other capable Android phones they intend on supporting in the future.
[Ubuntu Touch General] times_infinity:
Also, this little snippet from their site leads me to believe this as well.
[Ubuntu Touch General] FC1032:
This obviously won't over take android overnight. But seeing this is actually backed by a decent organization with official support, it's already got a better chance than web os on our phones(which I love).

I'm going to try it for a week at least . though I thought the Ubuntu for android (dock for desktop) seemed a bit better to me
[Ubuntu Touch General] :
any way to compile it for a SGS i9300?

What are the prerequisites to compile ubuntu mobile for a SGS III?

I'd be very interested in replacing my android ; )

kind regards
[Ubuntu Touch General] mfsr98:
An SDK, the git, all the stuff that you would need for compiling Android. Of course it wouldnt 100% the same thing, But wait for the OS to be released first!

Hey folks , here is a screen of the keyboard

[Ubuntu Touch General] Carlos_Manuel:
Guys I'm not able to download files to my Ubuntu 10.04.4 64-bit!

Can somebody just grab the images tat is needed and to share here, to flash them via Fastboot..?
[Ubuntu Touch General] Zepius:
i swear no one reads the first post, or reads in general.
[Ubuntu Touch General] farshad525hou:
Yeah, just download them from here http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch-preview/quantal/mwc-demo/
[Ubuntu Touch General] mkalter:
start flashing through twrp now
[Ubuntu Touch General] Zepius:
i guess this isnt proper instructions?

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

sorry they dont spoon feed you a CWM flashable zip
[Ubuntu Touch General] fcb13:
Within "image-yakju0jdq39.zip" there is:

- android-info.txt

- boot.img

- recovery.img

- system.img

- userdata.img

Im assuming these can all be flashed via fastboot
[Ubuntu Touch General] guitmz:
flashing it right now!

phablet zip should take a while... 500mb :s
[Ubuntu Touch General] Stealyourface:
It failed for me through twrp :(
[Ubuntu Touch General] kingofpeople:
What files are needed to be downloaded?
[Ubuntu Touch General] guitmz:
seems to be working here... phablet is taking a bit longer but its still kinda fast
[Ubuntu Touch General] insane08:
I am talking in terms of variety, they should at least post instructions for Windows for people as well...
[Ubuntu Touch General] Lesicnik1:
That looks like the stock images for Android.
[Ubuntu Touch General] mkalter:
What was the error?
[Ubuntu Touch General] fcb13:
Agreed, im sure someone here will figure out a way to flash via windows,

EDIT: I just realized i was posting the factory images...sorry :p. So where's the files we are supposed to flash for ubuntu? Are they the same files used in the instructions in the OP?

haha no, it isnt fast haha is taking forever to flash phablet lol
[Ubuntu Touch General] Serial Kazama:
The Question was, how can wie install it ON WINDOWS not under Ubuntu or Linux as general. :confused:
[Ubuntu Touch General] amishcrusader:
I'm not seeing that filename anywhere.

i can confirm its working with TWRP, rebooting right now!

you dont.

[Ubuntu Touch General] Stealyourface:
Just says error flashing and failed right under it. Glad I didn't expect to work in the first place.
[Ubuntu Touch General] Garner:
So regarding the first post with the install instructions as anyone tried CWM?
[Ubuntu Touch General] insane08:
What files did you download and flash in TWRP?

only

quantal-preinstalled-armel+maguro.zip

and

quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip ?
[Ubuntu Touch General] farshad525hou:
CWM should work...
[Ubuntu Touch General] BigBadBuddy:
ADB and fastboot work the same on Windows as they do on Linux. I'm not sure what you're looking for.
[Ubuntu Touch General] farshad525hou:
yes
[Ubuntu Touch General] tiny4579:
Umm, download the files from here and flash the maguro and phablet zips in recovery:

http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch-preview/quantal/mwc-demo/

The phablet zip is generic to all platforms and maguro is the GSM Nexus but will work on CDMA without phone support.
[Ubuntu Touch General] guitmz:
nice UI, but still really slow, etc.. i liked it
[Ubuntu Touch General] radu_brd00:
install under windows : put all files in the fastboot folder and then open CMD with admin rights and put phone in fastboot mode then type :

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

now boot into recovery and choose adb sideload mode and type :

adb sideload quantal-preinstalled-armel+maguro.zip

after it finishes type :

adb sideload quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip

after install reboot and done !
[Ubuntu Touch General] mkalter:
IT WORKS!!! I'll now try to port it to cmda network.. You just have to flash quantal-preinstalled-armel+maguro.zip and quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip
[Ubuntu Touch General] andQlimax:
so how it is ubuntu mobile?

does run on top of an android build as someone said or not?

I will going to try later anyway
[Ubuntu Touch General] farshad525hou:
Flashed through recovery.... boost up to black screen...
[Ubuntu Touch General] Carlos_Manuel:
OK! So!

The two .zip files includes system, boot and recovery...?

So it means you don't need the .img files if you flash those 2 zip files.

Right?

Muy PC Is slow!

I can't check the files for now... But I'm going to flash the zip files now!
[Ubuntu Touch General] radu_brd00:
aparently it's the same as the one from earlier this morning no changes at all ... so ... not that interesting for end user right now :)
[Ubuntu Touch General] bsinc1962:
Does it matter in which order?
[Ubuntu Touch General] b1337:
Seriously?? Lol some people....
[Ubuntu Touch General] guitmz:
the boot time is really fast
[Ubuntu Touch General] :
the phablet zip is a 481 MB file. wat
[Ubuntu Touch General] mkalter:
Slow, and not very great, but it's still a developer build and it's a pretty interesting os. So I'll give it some time and tell later, it doesn't feels like they used android but they did.

Cheers
[Ubuntu Touch General] deepayanneogi:
So no need to fastboot the three img files ? Why are they there even ? :confused:
[Ubuntu Touch General] EddyOS:
Just use them, taking short cuts is a sure fire way to end up with a brick
[Ubuntu Touch General] guitmz:
cause u can fastboot if u want to...

the phablet is big but it has a lot of demo data
[Ubuntu Touch General] Stealyourface:
What!? uuugh. That ain't fair. lol
[Ubuntu Touch General] jscurtu:
for people wondering why the install process is from Linux/Ubuntu only and not for windows.:

It is a developer preview made for developers that already use ubuntu.. You can't develop Ubuntu Phone or Apps on windows so it makes sense or? real Android developers use Linux too, I am saying real because of the xamarin c#/mono crap for windows developers ..
[Ubuntu Touch General] EddyOS:
It does work in Windows
[Ubuntu Touch General] mkalter:
No only need to flash those files i just mentioned through twrp..
[Ubuntu Touch General] GotDamned:
just did the install on ubuntu, i really thought there would be more, but no, just 2 commands and everything else was automatically.

why do people even rage about no instructions for windows? it a DEVELOPER preview and since the want to have ubuntu for phones close to normal ubuntu they want developers to use normal ubuntu too (and may porting their apps to ubuntu for phones)

at least i'd guess that
[Ubuntu Touch General] ellite:

[Ubuntu Touch General] deepayanneogi:
Lag?? The demo units in CES videos were pretty smooth as far as I remember.
[Ubuntu Touch General] mkalter:
Just a tip: Don't install it, it's laggy nothing is working well, they better called it an alpha developer preview.
[Ubuntu Touch General] tink84:
im on custom rom, only factory reset will do?

format system / flash stock yaktu / takju first?
[Ubuntu Touch General] deepayanneogi:
Yes , was tempted to install it but not after the initial review from you guys.
[Ubuntu Touch General] Lesicnik1:
Well, they did state that the previews was for developers only and that it wasn't ready yet for the consumer market.
[Ubuntu Touch General] mkalter:
Yea, just factory reset is enough
[Ubuntu Touch General] Zepius:
its not like people read anymore anyways.

everyone always assumes "new thing out, it has to be 100% perfect even when it says preview"
[Ubuntu Touch General] sarun_biotech:
Just flashed successfully. Nothing really to play around for more than 15 mins.. quite laggy though.

Felt cool to try the new UI.

Lets start the wait for the full release.
[Ubuntu Touch General] mfsr98:
Somebody please tell me if I correctly resumed what is in the last 40 pages since I can't read them all :p :

-Ubuntu Mobile is up;

-Instructions are on the first post and I can already install it when I have my PC (like 1 hour from now).

Thanks :)

P.S.: I know this is a Dev preview and I know the bugs, but is there anything else I should know?
[Ubuntu Touch General] mkalter:
I know, but still I was thinking it worked better because on the CES it was smooth and they showed a lot, this is more like showing some pictures.
[Ubuntu Touch General] deepayanneogi:

Hahaha are you guys hiring? ;)
[Ubuntu Touch General] RayGarden:
And you are correct: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Install?action=show&redirect=TouchInstallProcess

What to expect after flashing

For detailed information check the release notes

Shell and core applications

Connection to the GSM network (on Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4)

Phone calls and SMS (on Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4)

Networking via Wifi

Functional camera (front and back)

Device accessible through the Android Developer Bridge tool (adb)
[Ubuntu Touch General] b1337:
Way to much....
[Ubuntu Touch General] powermatt:
There's no settings app that I can find, and the brightness can be controlled by pulling down the top menus.
