Is it just me, or does this Ubuntu release seem a lot like the Firefox Mobile project? How?

Well it seems that Canonical is trying to get mobile phone companies to actually adopt this OS rather than letting consumers install it on their devices, like what happens with Ubuntu Desktop OS.

Unless Canonical makes a really easy, simple way to install this on Android, I feel that this project will go the way of the dodo.

Unless of course, some awesome developers turn this into a custom ROM :D
[Ubuntu Touch General] Midnitte:
It's going to be shown at CES (1/8-11/12), with the gnexus image being released soon. They've already said they want community members (it is open source after all) to help porting it to devices.

Ubuntu for SmartPhones

I think its possible to port this in to most of the android phones after seeing the Ubuntu founder Mark Shuttleworth gives the Ubuntu phone OS demo on a GalaxyNexus which is a mainstream Android phone. :D

It is possible that later a developper changes it so it can be put on your phone but you will need to wait for that
[Ubuntu Touch General] Dovidhalevi:
Being sick of Google's and Qualcomm's disenfranchising my ARMv6 device, I am eager to try this baby. This is not an install over Android but a new OS but also Linux. I think that a Dalvik for this, such as the one for Sailfish/Meego, would be necessary for anyone to get into it. No one is going to install it in place of IOS or Windows. So our investment in the Android "ecosystem" would need protecting.

Android is opensource except for various "prebuilt" jni libraries. These are becoming increasing fatal exceptions.

So a complete opensource OS that one can compile for one's architecture would be most welcome. May Ubuntu will be this.

Minimally, the launcher (really, does anyone care what OS is under the hood?), would be a worthy port in itself!
[Ubuntu Touch General] Cookie Ninja:
I'm willing to port onto my HTC inc s with some help from the community.

Dead cookies leave no trails...
[Ubuntu Touch General] Dovidhalevi:
Same here for my LG P500 (but this phone is short on RAM for this, I am afraid).

Newer Linux Kernels should facilitate this since the Android mods have been incorporated and ARM devices explicitly supported.

No it isnt.1 ghz cortex is dual core?
[Ubuntu Touch General] dethrat:
Where did you get that?

All cortex's aren't dual-core.

Cortex a8 is single-core
[Ubuntu Touch General] CressKH:
Entry level requirement is Cortex A9, well, single core too anyway.

Anyone working on the ROM?
[Ubuntu Touch General] Dovidhalevi:
Hopefully, they are not hard-excluding older chipsets the way Google has started doing. Anything from ICS onward runs better multi-core. However, most of it is GUI and one does not need a Cray for this. Problems should only begin with high-order games, 3-d simulations, and such. However, after all, we are talking about telephones.

I hope you aren't planning on running ubuntu phone on that, canonical stopped targeting ARMv6 a long time ago.
[Ubuntu Touch General] Psionfenix:
Just got back from CES, personally, and I spent a ton of time talking with the guys at the Ubuntu booth. Even got to handle their demo phones (which ARE the galaxy nexus currently, which is why they're releasing the image shortly.

The videos where the phone looks laggy....Not so much anymore. Smooth as butter.

anyway, someone posted the minimum specs already, but according to the guys at the booth, they have some oem's lined up and interested, and they plan to release the first ubuntu OS phones late 2013 (at least, according them the guys and paperwork they had). Though I believe the first launch will also be in Europe (not a huge deal for us xda-ers, though, lol)

[Ubuntu Touch General] jscurtu:
Yep that's right, it wouldn't be impossible though you would have to recompile, reconfigure, patch and target v6.. Similar to what the raspian project has done..

But IMHO that would be useless task as native 3rd party apps probably won't work.. Ubuntu phone is not running in a VM .. Its a binary system, unlike android.

what exactly is Desktop convergence and would it be possible to port that version to an a-9 dualcore cpu@1.4-1.5 ghz and quadcore gpu@0.44-0.52 ghz because i suppose most s2 devices r gonna be stable in that range
[Ubuntu Touch General] Dovidhalevi:
This phone is still being manufactured and actively peddled by providers. At full, albeit relatively low, price. No mention of its obsolescence. My objection to Google and Qualcomm are their desertion of customers in the field, consumers and manufacturers. When did Canconical ever claim to be supporting these chips ... until now?

If the kernel can be compiled for it (only a matter of time of XDA), then so can the rest. The GUI does not require more than what this phone has. Maybe some apps and goodies will (such as Google Now and the new camera), but others things will still be usable, I believe.

If not, I can go back to my 4.2! Eventually, I guess, I will have to buy some new, ridiculously over-priced gadget!

Looks like Ubuntu for tablet
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] klau1:
Just ordered this case. (picture below)

http://dx-box.com/benks-magic-potato-chips-multifunctional-and-ultra-thin-lather-case-for-samsung-galaxy-note-10-1-n8000-case.html

After hours of looking, and after ordering the ROCK case, I think this Benks Magic Potato Chip case maybe what fits the equation.

So for others that have similar requirements to me:

Slim

Tri-Fold Stand

S-Pen opening

non-leather looking

non-covering of the device bezel

The ROCK case has all the above EXCEPT S-Pen opening, if I had known that earlier I would have bought Benks first.

Best part is, they are Hong Kong Post, so they ship anywhere :D

Let us know how it goes! I feel like note 10.1 cases are so few and far in between. Still using my 6 dollar poetic one...but it's just so darn fat and ugly that I think I might get another one.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] lisa2blonde:
looks nice. Does it have a magnetic closure? I love this tri-fold idea but nearly all of them just seem to flop open offering no real protection. The ones with the strap aren't to bad but i dont want to be fusing with straps...lol.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] abmicyau:
Yes, it appears to be magnetic from the descriptions in the images.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] wagman67:
I would like one of these types, but this one doesn't seem to have an opening for the connector port, so it looks like you would have to have it open to charge.

Take a look at the attached screen shot. It looks that at the bottom there is no plastic frame.

Benks VS ROCK case

Got it delivered recently.

It looks pretty good! The pictures in the OP are accurate. The outside cover front and back is textured with shallow lines, but it is smooth to touch. The ROCK case is similar, but the material is grippy to the touch. This makes the ROCK case less likely to slide.

As can be seen in the pictures, the front cover is divided into 4 pieces, with the magnet inside the opening piece. The ROCK case is divided into 3 pieces without magnets. I find that the ROCK case cover is less likely to flip open (if for example, the case is held vertically).

The Benks case back cover is hard plastic that surrounds all sides except the top, so it gives more protection. The ROCK case surrounds only the bottom with clips on each corner. So the ROCK case looks more stylish, but less protection.

And yes ROCK case does have a charger hole allowing the tablet to be charged while the case is closed, the Benks does not.

Stylus:

Kind of a deal breaker for me.

The ROCK case has no stylus opening, requiring unclipping of clip at the corner containing the stylus, but the Benks case does.

That's pretty important to me, since it's a Wacom tablet.

So ROCK case is more stylish and grippy, but the Benks case is more practical because of the stylus opening.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] abmicyau:
I find that the rock case is great for people who bought an additional stylus. I have the one with the eraser and the fact that the case covers the stylus opening does not bother me at all :D I love it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] gophy:
Thanks for the info. Very helpful. Glad there is a charge port.

Benks Demagnet Mod

Demagnet Mod:

Purpose:

To remove magnets from the case. This avoids magnetic distortion that causes the Wacom digitizer to register S-Pen inputs incorrectly.

The magnetic distortion is temporary, such that, after lifting the magnetic cover away from the screen, the Wacom tablet performance returns to normal in a couple minutes. But I have no idea if there could be other permanent effects if the magnets were kept in constant proximity for a long time.

Comments:

There are 10 magnets located on the middle of the opening end of the cover. They are sandwiched in the following fashion:

Inner cover fabric layer

glue

transparent plastic

glue

Hard Plastic Magnet Tray - 10 magnets

glue

tin foil

glue

Outer cover fabric layer

Magnet removal:

Recovery

The Benks case is good. Balance between style and functionality. So I think the mod is worth the effort to anyone who is looking for a good case.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] olivier1510:
This case looks really good and and I would be interested in buying it too, thanks for the review!

But as I use the S pen quite often, I'm a bit concerned by the magnet issue that you raised... Is it really indispensable to remove them?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] klau1:
not really, the only noticeable effects are slightly curved lines in the area of the magnets. This effect disappears after a couple minutes once you remove the cover off the screen.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] VYRAL_143:
Hello,

I have my phone on DDPK4. However it randomly resets my data and select Locale screen is displayed. I have tried updating software thrice via a local private service center. But this error will not go. While resetting contacts and messages are lost however application i have installed i.e. Whatsapp doesn't get lost. I m fed up of this and visiting again and again to service guy.

Before that when I tried to update to DDFL2, i screwed up my phone and whole motherboard of phone was replaced at cost of my pocket. :(

One more thing when i connect this phone to kies it takes 10000000000 mins to get connect but does not get connect actually. Windows system tray shows Hardware ID Missing.

Please help me to resolve this thing. Its been couple of months I m trying and no results :crying::crying:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] VYRAL_143:
Anyone ?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] AmmarGitham:
Maybe a motherboard problem.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] pratik_s:
it can be motherboard problem. but how did u try to update by kies or odin? can u get into download mode or recovery mode?give more details.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] VYRAL_143:
Earlier it was on some Froyo build and was behaving weird like it will delete some messages or few apps or battery will drain all of sudden. One of its battery also got swelled and new genuine battery was purchased. When I tried to update it with DDFL2 via ODIN, its Internal memory got corrupt and it was giving error of "E: rfs format failed" on some mmc block. It was going in Download mode but not recovery mode. I tried various methods from XDA to bring it to life again but it all in vain. So gave this phone to service guy he said motherboard needs to replaced, which I got replaced for Rs.4500.

After posting here one of the day it got connected to KIES but when clicked on Firmware update and initialize, Kies says can not initialize and just before that in system tray a message appeared Hardware ID is missing.

But this issue of getting resetting is still continuing. :mad:

I m not getting what issue actually is. Is it hardware or software ? :confused:

I have sent it again this piece to service guy.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] pratik_s:
it is a hardware issue ur internel memory has been corrupted.there are two ways of making ur phone work http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1644797&page=3 and http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=32245355&postcount=5.hope this helps if not then there is no other way than changing ur motherboard. :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] VYRAL_143:
But motherboard is already replaced. :crying:

Well I got phone back with me now.

Also I can not enter recovery mode at present. I m trying it by pressing first Home + Volume Up, after 2-3 seconds pressing power button and holding them till Recovery is entered but phone does not start. Instead when I release all buttons phone starts normally.

1 more observation, I tried to run OTA (from Settings Menu of Phone) but after logging in to Samsung Account It tries to connect to server but in 4-5 secs it says connection failed. This thing is now frustrating me.

Also I am too afraid to do any software update by ODIN or CWM.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] pratik_s:
when did u get back ur sl after replacing motherboard.how many days before?and for entering in recovery mode u have to press volume up +home +power button simultaneously.are u able to do a factory reset?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] LoLaTiOn:
If I understand your update on LF2 must be the reason

With odin 1.85 test only full KPE > http://www.mediafire.com/?8v9zi7apx2rc5o5

Without SD SIM battery 50% cold

You have already flashed the bootloader?

if not you must always put the KPE for Gingerbread
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] pratik_s:
@LoLaTiOn are u suggesting that we should flash pit files with other files simultaneously with re-partition checked? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] LoLaTiOn:
Yes full KPE with bootloader from froyo

Without if already gingerbread as the image

Odin 1.85 only !!!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] pratik_s:
i think u should make a thread on this and should explain how to flash because many people have had the motherboard problem on our sl.i also had the motherboard problem and had to replace motherboard as i was out of warranty and had to pay for it.before i use to flash only pit file by checking the re-partition first and then other files was it wrong.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] LoLaTiOn:
My writing quality does not allow me to make long speeches understandable

I also made ​​the same mistake probably also not the only

I had before blocking with formatting cache because I have not checked the basic differences

not flash the pit only

I will not do anymore for me anyway
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] VYRAL_143:
I have got my motherboard replaced around a month ago. After that almst on very next day it started acting weird same as it was acting on Froyo. I again ask service guy about this. He would fix all this with firmware flashing. But this cycle have repeated 4-5 times and i m tired of this crap now.

Right now I have left for my lectures hence can not try anything on it. After returning back home in evening I can try something and let you guys know if m able to enter any mode.

Thanks a lot for helping replies.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] pratik_s:
if the service centre has replaced ur motherboard and if the period is not more than a month then u should ask for a replacement of the motherboard.tell him that the problem is occuring frequently and u want a replacement of motherboard.

I have got it replaced from private service center which is very reputed here in my suburb and have repaired my waterlogged phones which official service guys refused to even tough even on my risk.

I would like to start watching some movies on my note 2. I don't want to download them to my device. I was thinking of using drop box and a program which puts dvds as a file. It takes a rather long time and I would rather not want to do this every time. Is there a website or something that allows you to Stream your own movies for free?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] reinaldistic:
most movies nowadays come with ultraviolet copies. if your dvds don't then try setting your computer up as an ftp server and host them yourself
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] islandjat:
How do you set up and do the ftp server thing?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] kingdazy:
if you were trying to "share" movies over your own home network, like watch movies that were on a home computer in another room, that would be easy. Stupid easy. Set your folder with movies as "shared" over the network, use something like BubbleUPnP player, or even XBMC for Android (quite a bit more complicated to set up, but Way Worth it, once you set up the library and shares) to browse and watch. (with XBMC, I woiuld set it up on the host sys, set up the libraries and metadata there for sharing over the network.)

if you are trying to "share" movies over the internet (from your home, I assume?), for you to watch when you were out at another location, well that's a hobby unto itself, and outside the scope of what you could expect here at XDA. Learning how to set up a "real" server (FTP, SMB/CIFS), takes time and (at least self-) education. People get paid to do that kind of stuff, right? Worth learning, if you have the time. But I don't have the time to even teach you the basics. There are no basics.

Not to mention most likely your bandwidth upstream from home, on most IPSs, is not very great. I wouldn't want to stream anything but standard definition vid files, And it might "kill" the internet use for anyone at home.

But for fun, here are some basic solutions and/or information for you to explore, get started. If you start to play around with networking, you'll quickly become a "computer genius" to family n friends. :

http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/9659/how-to-install-and-setup-windows-home-server/ (WHS is another fave, even though they dont "make" it anymore, it can still be found, and is a stupid easy way to "get started" in servers if you're comfortable in the Windows environment, I always recommend it to anyone that doesn't want to get into command line *nix kinda stuff, just wants to play around with a functional and easy way to have a server, works great, and completely instantly compatible, obviously, with any Win based PCs at home.)
