Any specific issues you need to have fixed?

I know there are a few features that don't exists in the phone stack which needs to be implemented the whole way which of course take a while. Especially since they want to do it the proper way make something that works for a long time.

It isn't supposed to be stable and used by real user until October, don't expect too much of it.
[Ubuntu Touch General] spanner3003:
first Ubuntu touch build based on Ubuntu 13.04 :)

So here it is the first Ubuntu touch based on the new Ubuntu 13.04 its called "raring-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip" and is at the bottom of the list at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch-preview/daily-preinstalled/20130408/ :D
[Ubuntu Touch General] IconRunner:
My phone is unavailable for flashing until late tomorrow night :(. I'm too eager though, do Phone and SMS finally work on pin-locked SIM cards?
[Ubuntu Touch General] DesignGrits:
So when you say touch based preview I am assuming this is the first release of the actual os? Has anyone tried it?
[Ubuntu Touch General] IconRunner:
I guess I can do without my phone operational for about an hour this evening. 22-23:00 EST. I'll see what the changes are and report back.

NINJA EDIT: There also appears to be this: "raring-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip " as well. I don't remember seeing this before, and by following the usual alphabetic progression of ubuntu releases this seems to be the latest version? I haven't heard peep about it and am wary about flashing it to my phone. Does anyone recall this being there before? I'm almost positive it ended with the quantal_ubuntu_stamp file.
[Ubuntu Touch General] ryde_razr:
I muss say that this raring based build is new. It was not there before.
[Ubuntu Touch General] DesignGrits:
Can't wait to hear feedback on it. Is there any devs that are committed to this development?
[Ubuntu Touch General] IconRunner:
I'm not a dev by any stretch of the imagination but I managed to get the hardware keys working on the SGS2 i9100 and i777. There is also a dedicated team of at least 4 over in the i9100 thread who got wifi running and came up with a way to detect the device DPI without rewriting the preinstalled-phablet-zip for every single release.

Just twiddling our thumbs waiting on Canonical now :).
[Ubuntu Touch General] blmvxer:
Slowly but surely. :)
[Ubuntu Touch General] ryde_razr:
so guys, I tested it and, the Wifi was not working at all, may be I should wait David Hacker or hashOfCode to produce a new CM base for it since I own a Razr.

All the Mock -app / demo -app are gone. The Home-lens is empty, the Network-Indicator as well. see the pictures.

I did not try to bring the wifi running since I had no time.

here some pics.

But Hey, the raring Build is FAST. On my RAzr that was the First thing I noticed since I had tried Ubuntu Touch.

It is still not possible to launch from the Dash others app than the default installed one present in the app-lens.

Sorry to say it twice, this Raring build on Razr is fast !
[Ubuntu Touch General] GotDamned:
I know my question will probably be answered with a no:

Is Audio already working? Can i play my music? If so, I'm ready to flash again

(don't want to waste money on an extra device which I need to carry to listen to my music when my handy does the job good enough)
[Ubuntu Touch General] IconRunner:
I had the missing home apps on some builds of mine too. It's because their buildbot produces stuff while things are still very much a work in progress. More than likely if you build the next day's zip it all gets sorted out.

WiFi has to do with how the vendor proprietaries are handled, the porting guide gets it wrong. Visit the i9100 thread and search through user "ogra-ubuntu"'s posts for a fix that got it working for us. It was one of his earlier ones.

I've heard reports that audio works but there aren't any functional media players yet. I suppose you could install a terminal music player and test through adb if you wanted. Remember, this is just a month and a half old OS :).
[Ubuntu Touch General] MikeCriggs:
Will be flashing on my Gnex in a couple days after Raring has been sorted out. Can't wait to see how things are going.
[Ubuntu Touch General] Shiftone:
I tried both the Quantal and Raring builds for my Nexus 7 the other day. Some gui speed increse but no real change in functionallity or core apps etc. Still not a daily use OS and still lots of dummy apps and content.

Unless its for pure curiosity I'd wait.
[Ubuntu Touch General] blmvxer:
Same.
[Ubuntu Touch General] MikeCriggs:
I'm making some apps, so I think I'll play with it :).
[Ubuntu Touch General] comnam90:
Anyone tried latest raring? Seems to have been split out
[Ubuntu Touch General] maxal:
Hi, I have been updating my Galaxy Nexus every day with the latest daily following these instructions,

Step 4 - Deploying Image to Device

To install the Ubuntu Touch Developer Preview on your device, you will need to execute the command below. Please note, this will wipe the contents of the device so ensure you have made a back-up. To install and get updates, run the following command:

phablet-flash -b

The -b performs a full bootstrap on the device. If the device is already unlocked it will carry on. If you have already bootstrapped once and want to install a daily just do:

phablet-flash

This will deploy the latest build onto your device. Your device should reboot into the Ubuntu Unity shell.

I see there is a new type of daily 13.04 raring but I don't see any instructions for installing the 13.04 raring, can anyone help me please.
[Ubuntu Touch General] blmvxer:
I would just manually install it, that's what I'm gonna do tonight on my Nexus 7(multirom).
[Ubuntu Touch General] MikeCriggs:
Haven't had a chance to.

I'd subscribe to the mailing list for changelogs, but every user post gets emailed to me and there are no settings to weed them out.

Sent from my AOSPA Maguro.
[Ubuntu Touch General] MikeCriggs:
Ahhhh, I'll subscribe to the mailing list, sift through the junk for changelogs and make a new thread for everyone to view at ease. No one else will do it. I haven't slept in 48 hours, I will do it tomorrow at some point. Goodnight XDA.

[Ubuntu Touch General] pajn:
Well it's a mailing list not a newsletter. It's like a forum straight to your inbox.

If you want to filter mails yours should use a descent mail program.
[Ubuntu Touch General] MikeCriggs:
I lied, had too much to do today. I'll do it by Monday.

Ubuntu Touch beta is out:

http://ubuntulife.co.za/forums/showthread.php?tid=55
[Ubuntu Touch General] DesignGrits:
do they make this process complicated?
[Ubuntu Touch General] Vinodh Moodley:
I flashed various builds of the Developer Preview and it was not really complicated. I recommend that you have computer running Ubuntu desktop. You just have to copy and paste the commands in Terminal.

Here's a link on how to flash the Developer Preview on a Nexus device:

http://ubuntulife.co.za/forums/showthread.php?tid=28

I'm busy flashing my Nexus 7 now to the latest Developer Preview and I'll then update it to the Beta. I'll be posting a full review of the Beta on my blog soon.
[Ubuntu Touch General] Findee:
What changes have been made for it to be beta? Is there data support yet? Or is it just more or less stable?
[Ubuntu Touch General] Vinodh Moodley:
Not sure. I flashed the latest build using the supplied instructions and it looked basically the same as the Developer Preview. I flashed it again and it seemed like it was downloading the Quantal build and not the Raring build. I deleted the entire folder that contained the various builds of Ubuntu Touch on my computer and started a brand new download. It shows that its busy downloading a Raring build for my Nexus 7. I'm hoping its a better version than what I saw this morning...
[Ubuntu Touch General] Vinodh Moodley:
Totally disappointed with this build. Faster than previous builds but not at all useable. Not worth bothering with.
[Ubuntu Touch General] Findee:
I tried installing it and it seems faster and more stable although now when I pull down the networking and sound menu it just says empty after multiple reflashes.

I guess regressions are understandable but it limited me even more to what I could test.

On galaxy nexus.
[Ubuntu Touch General] blmvxer:
Will test on my N7 later. :)
[Ubuntu Touch General] ojdon:
Really wish people would stop downloading a Developer Preview expecting it to be a daily driver. It's not even at alpha stage of development yet. the current goal is to create an open platform for developers to not just develop their own projects for Ubuntu Touch but also allow them to have input in creating the Core Applications.

Just to be clear:

IF YOU HAVE NO INTENTION OF DEVELOPING UBUNTU TOUCH APPLICATIONS THESE BUILDS ARE NOT FOR YOU!
​

I have no idea why people are ignoring this fact. The reason why people should be porting Ubuntu Touch for unsupported devices is to allow more software developers to have access to Ubuntu Touch hardware for their existing device. If you're simply curious about the OS come back once the core apps have been initially developed, there are plenty more of Core Apps to be created yet. Spend 5 minutes reading the Ubuntu Touch Wiki and save yourself from wasting your own time.
[Ubuntu Touch General] DesignGrits:
Is the new build an actual rom now? Can you do anything on it? Before I couldn't do anything with the Dev pre.
[Ubuntu Touch General] Vinodh Moodley:
It's similar to the Dev Preview. Still full of placeholder info.
[Ubuntu Touch General] Findee:
We are well aware what the Developer Preview is. All we were wondering is what has changed in this supposed beta.

Did you parents never teach you manners? If you have anything nice to say then don't speak at all.
[Ubuntu Touch General] Vinodh Moodley:
A lot of blogs and other sites announced that this is a Beta. I was under the impression that it would be the daily driver that Mark Shuttleworth said would be available in a few weeks. I was clearly wrong about that. This is just the Devloper Preview that's been updated to work on the Raring code base and includes a few small changes like the Clock app, Calendar app etc. This version is much more responsive than previous builds but cannot really be used as a replacement OS yet. Wifi, Internet browsing etc works but the lack of the ability to remove the placeholder info and replace it with your own media, contacts etc means that we will have to wait for until Canonical announce a better version.
[Ubuntu Touch General] Findee:
On the ubuntu touch wiki there are instructions for removing dummy data.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/ReleaseNotes under sample data.
[Ubuntu Touch General] ojdon:
This isn't "beta". What has happened is that they have switched from a Quantal base to a Raring base. There HAS been a few changes with the S itself such as some core apps been installed by default. But it still for only Developers wanting to develop for Ubuntu Touch. I wasn't rude, I was simply telling people to stop wasting their time thinking this is a daily driver yet it says "Developer Preview" not even reached "Alpha" stage like in the Ubuntu Desktop release cycle.

Just trying to clear up the confusion with people thinking its a "beta" now or it's anything other than a Developer Preview.

Changelog & Download thread, as promised.

[April 21, 2013] Daily Download & Changelogs for Daily Builds (Nexus Devices)

Sent from my AOSPA Maguro.
[Ubuntu Touch General] Zurginator:
Pretty sure he's talking to people like this guy:

Because it's usable for exactly what it was intended for, and very much so worth bothering with.
[Ubuntu Touch General] Vinodh Moodley:
I know he's talking about me and I apologise for that. I'm going to re-flash my Nexus 7, remove the placeholder info and evaluate it for a few days. I'm not a developer but just an enthusiast. I'm intending to develop an app or two for Ubuntu Touch in the future but i've still got a lot to learn.
[Ubuntu Touch General] ojdon:
Yeah, I wasn't "attacking" anyone in particular. I was just trying to make it clear to people what the daily builds sole objective is for at the current moment. Heck, even popular tech blogs have got the wrong end of the stick, which I assume, is where all the confusion is coming from.

Ubuntu Touch Summary Week 17 , from the mailing list :
[Ubuntu Touch General] ryde_razr:
Hey Guys, Here is the changed log of Today's build :

---------- Post added at 12:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:10 PM ----------

As you can see, Unity/Next is really activ.

As for now, the OS is yet really fast guy. We still don't have data yet ( yeah that is a show stoper for many ).

appart from Data not working yet, Web browser really meh, the future is looking good , really good for us.

The last builds don't boot the phone, and when it does boot, connecting it to an usb port shuts the phone down. and from there the OS doesn't boot anymore.. need to test many thing like wipe cache, reset factory ... or flash the image again.

EDIT : The Last build seems yet to be actually able to boot. But it still shut itself down whenn connected to an usb port.

2013*
[Ubuntu Touch General] Vinodh Moodley:
Updated. Thanks. :)
[Ubuntu Touch General] bobo1337:
I'am so glad i see this...:) i buy n4 today and can't wait ubuntu to become stable :D
[Ubuntu Touch General] Dennelly:
well this is exciting !
[Ubuntu Touch General] ryde_razr:
So Friends,

some very good things going on here, If you recently tested Ubuntu Touch, you should have noticed that closing app was now very simple, just press and Hold on a running app from the app-lens and then just the apps ( plural) you want to close. this Option was brought to us by Unity Next , now renamed Unity 8, so there is no Unity Next more, Unity 8 is the beginning of the Next Gen serie.

here is a weekly report on Mir & Unity 8, by Kevin Gunn from Canonical :
[Ubuntu Touch General] ryde_razr:
Hello friends ,

Here I am again with the weekly Touch OS update :)
[Ubuntu Touch General] Chuckatron:
Thanks for keeping us up to date, keep it up! i cant wait for this to be a reality
[Ubuntu Touch General] Trevor Chuah:
I like it. Weekly update...:)

Do not know can I direct flash the updated build with the old kernel built for ubuntu touch usage or not?...
[Ubuntu Touch General] ryde_razr:
Hey Ubuntu Touch Friend :)

here I'm again with some update, but this time it is not one that directly from Ubuntu Dev comes, since there is nothing pleasing in the change Log.

This update is from my use of the Touch OS on my Razr XT910.

Now on the Touch OS interface itself:

I'm really impressed , the OS is becoming more and more reactive, it is fast guy.

The webbrowser receives a tap to zoom ( In/Out) but it is not smooth yet. sometime I have to tap many time to zoom.

The Terminal is working, there still many things to do but the basic is here, so no need for ssh every time now ( when you are confortable with the build-in keyboard ). Still need some love.

The Weather app is working, we can add many cities and the forecast are corrects, you can trust what it says :p

Calling / SMS are working great. Nothing to say here.

The File Manager is now working, you can navigate through the filesystem at all , but is all too, we still need app to open file from the File Manager.

The Clock works good, but the alarm part need to work with the hardware since when the alarm is set, we get no audio notification, it doesn't make the phone vibrate too.

one thing missing , is the orientation. The Touch OS already had the update for the library part to do it, so it just a matter of time.

That is for now , have all a good day
[Ubuntu Touch General] blmvxer:
Did an update via adb today. :)
[Ubuntu Touch General] ryde_razr:
hey all here :)

some really nice teaser for your eyes :

[YOUTUBE]BZFcnxQlvZY[/YOUTUBE]
[Ubuntu Touch General] Toxina:
3G symbol active if you take a closer look o.o.

does that mean tomorrows build will come out with mobile data? 0.0
[Ubuntu Touch General] ryde_razr:
On tomorrow's build I don't , but until next week , since it is on the list of thing to get ready by the end of May.

I saw some update today on the phone, an update on oFono ( Telephony ) but since there is no Razr blob's update to take in account all new change on hadware ubuntu touch did, I can't say anything.

I know the Web webbrowser received screen orientation , I saw it the last Jono's Hangout.

But hey , The terminal app is just the best :p the usability is just optimal. I have not used yet a terminal on android so I don't know the experience is great.

I really want hard to make some videos but I don't have a camera or a second device, just look around on the net for some people's video.
[Ubuntu Touch General] blmvxer:
Ubuntu touch is slowly but surely getting there. Last few updates the core apps would open to a black screen. And after today's update everything is back and the native search is still working. :))
[Ubuntu Touch General] bobo1337:
I can't wait for ubuntu (stable) but i am very happy with this :)

This is just a mockup video rendered on a PC. They did not film an actual device for this... ;)
[Ubuntu Touch General] Toxina:
i know but maybe it should be a hint or something =<
[Ubuntu Touch General] ab325:
Whats the difference between the Ubuntu Touch and Ubuntu Touch Preview builds?

They have Saucy builds for Ubuntu Touch for ARM processors. Would these work on a nexus 10?

http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch/daily-preinstalled/current/
[Ubuntu Touch General] blmvxer:
I've read a few people can't boot the 13.10 builds, so I'm not sure.

I'm running 13.04 on my N7, and do full updates everyday, and its really getting there.

The search function for apps works, and you can update via the Native Terminal instead of ADB or SSH.
[Ubuntu Touch General] Trevor Chuah:
I'm here with Sony Xperia S.

I can get the saucy successfully boot it in.

However, many apps do not work and will force close.

I do not know about raring, because I cannot get boot into it. (Saucy can, do not know why...???)
[Ubuntu Touch General] ryde_razr:
You should all for now stay away from the Saucy's build. It is not ready. Many packages need to be ported to saucy.
[Ubuntu Touch General] ryde_razr:
Hey Friends, here is this week summary, of course it is from ubuntu's dev Sergio :)
[Ubuntu Touch General] ab325:
thanks for the info. i was doing fine but am now unable to flash the file via twrp. it freezes and resets. i may try installing again, but might hold off until this is usable.

Is the terminal app preinstalled or does it need to be installed via ssh?
[Ubuntu Touch General] Toxina:
gotta love your weekly reports [MENTION=4781600]ryde_razr[/MENTION]
[Ubuntu Touch General] ryde_razr:
just a Quick reply here for you all :)

Ricardo Salveti just share this :

this goes with my yesterday's post on the weekly summary :

cheers
[Ubuntu Touch General] sebbo90:
I looked at the chnage log for todays build and noticed some lines relating to 3g but wont be abel to test it till later today. I was wondering if anyone has tried it?
[Ubuntu Touch General] ryde_razr:
no I have not tried it yet. I own a razr so I'm waiting for David Hacker to update the Razr blobs needed for the drivers part.

But keep away from the yesterday's build since with it the phone boots to a black screen, at least for me.
[Ubuntu Touch General] blmvxer:
Boots black on the Nexus 7 also.
[Ubuntu Touch General] cctoro:
Same old.

I got the May 31 files to boot on my gnex but didn't notice anything different. Was hoping to see some sign of data and phone working but nothing. Its definitely alot smoother than the last time I flashed it about a week ago.
[Ubuntu Touch General] sebbo90:
That's not cool :( was hoping data would be out with todays build
[Ubuntu Touch General] Toxina:
same. I flashed it 2hours ago and was kinda disappointed :)

but it became even more smooth so thats a big plus ^-^

Where is 3G data ? it's still the last day in may so I will wait till later to try again before June hits

A great notice for all of us!

THANKS
[Ubuntu Touch General] macpherson1999:
I think tomorrow build we will se change in terms of data so wait till tomorrow. Honestly, what Im waiting the most is something that allow me to use whatsapp and Google Plus or notification from twitter as we see in ubuntu desktop
[Ubuntu Touch General] pajn:
Well a lot of commits about it have landed, will se how long for it to propogate to the build. Hopefully it's tomorrow. But there are still no interface to configure the APNs so if yours isn't detected automatically I guess your out of luck for now.

It always have. The mediaplayer is a movie player. I guess you are searching for a music player which is coming: https://code.launchpad.net/~music-app-dev/music-app/trunk
