[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] stephensonbrady:
You guys totally rock. Finally got it working. Flashed like normal, but this time I loaded eos4 and didn't do a system wipe when i flashed. Only did the data wipe then wiped dalvek cache after both files flashed. Booted up just fine. Thanks for your hard work guys.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] cbrown245:
How exactly are we to install this, I'm getting black screen ? Need help thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] stephensonbrady:
I did a system wipe, then installed eos4. Then I did a data wipe flashed both files, then wiped the caches. Then it booted right up. Before when i did the system wipe right before flashing I got the black screen every time as well.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] cbrown245:
Thanks I will try again , are you booting in between flashes ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] stephensonbrady:
Not between the two Ubuntu flashes. Only after i installed eos4.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] cbrown245:
Its still a no go on this end ,, is there something else I can do ?

Finally, I've managed to install Ubuntu Touch on my TF101 (C4)

Pre-condition: I have CWM 6.0.2.1 http://goo.im/devs/RaymanFX/downloads/ClockWordMod-Recovery/TF101

1. Download following

team eos nightly (in my case 108 - http://goo.im/devs/teameos/roms/eos4/nightlies/tf101/EOS-tf101-20130409-108.zip) from http://goo.im/devs/teameos/roms/eos4/nightlies/tf101/

gapps http://goo.im/devs/teameos/roms/eos4/gapps/gapps_4.2.2_TF101_20130323b.zip (from team eos thread)

new build by onkelbebu http://d-h.st/Ysl

ubuntu package http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-to...urrent/quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip (you'd better download it again because it updates sometimes)

2. Performed full wipe of everything )

3. installed eos

4. installed gapps

5. performed wipe cache/davlik

6. rebooted system (1st start of team eos)

7. rebooted into recovery, performed data wipe (factory reset)

8. installed ubuntu build by onkelbebu

9. installed quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip

10. performed wipe cache/davlik

11. rebooted system

That's all. Probably some steps are redundant but those above works just fine for me)

Another question I've got is what to do with fonts? Does anybody know? Or probably there is some thread or whatever for it?

And where is keyboard? I mean, I can't enter password to connect to wifi, keyboard simply doesn't popup

Thanks

NO BLACK SCREEN ISSUE

Black screen

Someone is using without the black screen issue?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] rickatnight11:
Woohoo, official betas just dropped (not including our devices, unfortunately.) Excited to see how this progresses.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] danielholm:
Indeed! I really want to try it out.

Well, I tried flashing this on my device again, and then run the raring-settings.py - it was no go due unsupported device.

Go figure, I suppose, but I wanted to try.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jholtom:
I'm back on the project now after a long unannounced hiatus. Now with a faster build machine, and more time to kill on it. I hope to have an updated system image by this evening. ~8pm EST
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ayr-ton:
Yaay. Celabrate we most.

Sounds like we will test the beta images soon \o/

I think I will try a dual boot of 4.2.2 from EOSTeam with the Ubuntu Touch.

Do you think it will be harder to do?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Kingzak34:
Great new :D thanks for your work man !
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jholtom:
Possibly easier due to how its setup....the ubuntu file just creates a special directory in /data and then my image just chroots into it...so logically you can have the /data/ubuntu directory with android running and then you can switch the system image to dual boot, you might be able to partition around it or mount things in a circuitous manner to have both system images on the NAND at the same time....or swap kernels or kernel settings lines....

EDIT: http://goo.im/devs/jholtom/ubuntu-touch-tf101.zip <- new build up, not sure if it works or not yet, use with latest daily-preinstalled.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gkillerx:
I read somewhere that ubuntu started to push beta updates, and by beta I mean that it's out of developerstatus and that you can acctualy use it, with your own content? is this true ?

The 0.9 build is working with no blackscreen issue?

Did you tried with the raring based images?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jholtom:
Don't know, haven't tested myself yet...sorry...i threw it up to allow testers to get on it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ayr-ton:
Okay. I will test it.

Theres some tutorial out there that explains how to do the dual boot? I made a quick search but with no results. Only for Nexus 7 but I not figure out how to do this in tf101.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jholtom:
Nope, you would have to do it on your own. There are some projects on hear for pseudo-dual boot and you should be able to look those up and use them with this, with a few changes. I'll look into making a guide and images for that, but right now I just want it working...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] danielholm:
They pushed a beta status for the four officially supported devices. Although it's little change yet. Also all new images are built from raring only. So still pretty much dev status.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Kingzak34:
Maybe if you convert all parition in a img file like a ubuntu img for example You should install it with x3maniac program ( Tubuntu dualboot ) and then edit a android kernel to load new partition.

Maybe x3maniac can help you to this. But I dont know if he got time

The deal with x3maniac program is to create new partition to install ubuntu img, use recovery partition to install linux kernel and that's all. If you go to recovery it boots Linux, if you boot normally it boots Android
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] moocow1452:
Hi Devs, I am currently the solo developer for porting Ubuntu Touch to Nook Color, mostly being a glutton for punishment and the like, and the errors that have been popping up are a lot similar to what you guys have going on, "not unloading 'libc.so', decrementing refcount to 29" and the like.

http://paste.ubuntu.com/5649454/

Anything that you guys found that could help point me in the right direction?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] projeto56:
Updating shell.qml might fix the black screen. Right?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] theratdude64:
I REALLY wanna get into Ubuntu, I love it so much... but on my laptop I'm pretty well stuck in Windows because I need the Adobe Master Suite :(

So I've been trying to get Ubuntu on my TF101, but having a nightmare of a time. The OP is quite misleading with links and link names. I eventually googled the proper preinstalled image because the link it goes to raring, but says I need download quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip . I tried a raring, didn't really work out.

The one I found on google (Sorry no link right now ) comes with tons of people's names on it, and basically hangs at a screen saying tons of Tweets.

I just wanna go back to android :( but after messing with all of this, it just sits on a continuous boot for CM10. Doesn't really "loop" just keeps spinnin. When I do magically get into android, it does the optimizing apps that JB does, then hangs on Starting Apps.

Could my experimenting with Ubuntu cause that? Worked, flashed, etc perfectly fine before playing around with it :(
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] josteink:
Get "wheelie" and nvflash and just return to stock from there. Should be guaranteed to restore you to an ok condition.

Ps: you can always dual boot Linux and Windows and boot Windows when you need that Adobe nonsense ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] theratdude64:
Thanks, will do :) I do a dual boot but keep having stupid bootmgr issues and using a Linux rescue thumb drive as a boot loader
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Arcifer:
I'm stuck with the black screen on my device. even though I can adb shell into it and do whatever....

also getting: E/linker ( 225): ics/linker.c:1598| WARNING: Skipping libc.so

Any ideas on what I can do to solve this? None of the fixes I've read about so far has solved my problem.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jholtom:
I think we are all on the same page with that error and that it is most likely the cause of our problems. I'm working on solving and for now it can be marked as non-functional but flashable if you want to try fixes, or whatever.

Also attempted to make OP a little clearer on which image and such.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] moocow1452:
If you guys want to try something really crazy, see if you can run an apt-get dist-upgrade from ssh. Worked for me on the Nook Color, but my Wifi is down, so I had to do it over proxy.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ayr-ton:
Status updated at Ubuntu Wiki

At a review session of this week UDS, we change the status of tf101 port at main wiki:

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

As it not working anymore because the blackscreen issue, it has been moved to "Work in progress".

It will be back to the second list (devices working, but not available in cdimage) again when the blackscreen issue stop to happen on raring based image.

I think probably is a good idea open a new topic "[Linux] [Dev] [WIP] Ubuntu Touch on the TF101 - Beta" when we have a working port from raring based image and a blackscreen fix.

Canonical HAS released something usable, but there's likely a conflict with the TF101 hardware, or it's just a Linux architecture thing that needs to be worked out. Honestly it doesn't look like a difficult thing to fix, but we're at the mercy of knowledgeable devs, of which we have very few.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jrohwer:
New to this thread but not new to running Ubuntu on the TF. I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 natively on my TF101G using this kernel

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1683145

and basically everything is working: wifi, 3G, touchscreen (using touchegg), zram. USB working partially. Note that this kernel boots Ubuntu directly. The Ubuntu rootfs is on an ext4 partition on my microSD card.

I am interested in getting Ubuntu touch working and have downloaded all the files and images. I see you are first booting up and Android system and then starting Ubuntu touch with a chroot. Is there any specific reason for this? Do you think it could be done natively? Do you think Jhinta's kernel could be used to boot Ubuntu touch? The advantages of doing this is that you can put your rootfs on a partition on your microSD (or use a loop mount on /data), and you can have both systems (Android and Linux) available on your pad, switching just involves flashing a different kernel. Your installation always overwrites the /system partition, which means going back to Android involves a restore from recovery. My Linux installation leaves the /system partition on the pad untouched.

I'm quite keen to try Ubuntu touch but have to be careful with experimenting since I own a TF101G and this means that nvflash/APX mode is not available to rescue a brick.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mdleal:
It is running this version of Ubuntu which is built on top of cm10.1.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jholtom:
We have to boot it as the Ubuntu Touch devs at Canonical want us to, and that is through the stripped down android and then chrooting to ubuntu touch. Right now i don't think it would be easy to do it natively but very possible due the fact that the Ubuntu Touch packages exist in repositories and if you ran 13.04 on the TF101 using a kernel straight to ubuntu and then installing them you could more or less have Ubuntu Touch booting directly. How possible/plausible this is I really don't know.

Happy Testing!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] macpherson1999:
Hi, I see than in first post you show both quantal-preinstalled 12.10 and sauce-salamander 13.10 but not the raring 13-04 zip, could it be possible to be added too? Can I flash saucy salamander?

I followed this steps:

- Factory reset

- Flash ubuntu touch zip.

- Flash raring zip

- Reboot system

At the first boot I havent bea ble to see apps running more than a white screen and the keyboard disapperar each time I pulse any numbet, but after three reboots, I get all apps running and keyboard too! Great!

We need much much more smooth transitions, they are really slow, but thats why whis is an alpha, isnt it? lol!

If you want something to be tested, here I am but I cant get logcat or something like that. Keep the work men!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jholtom:
You should be able to flash saucy but I'll add raring to the OP later. The real thing holding it back now is the lack of graphics acceleration. I'm working on that right now... Hopefully we'll have something soon
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] garfield50:
thank you for your response. after 3 restart, the keyboard work :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jrohwer:
Thanks that clears up matters considerably! :)

I have had trouble upgrading my 12.04 installation to 12.10, or booting a freshly created (with debootstrap) image of 12.10 or 13.04 with the 3.1.10 kernel I am using (although it works almost perfectly on 12.04). Don't know why but it just hangs at boot. If I get it to work the above might be a way to go, I had actually considered it. I might give the saucy salamaner (13.10) repository a try, haven't done that yet.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] macpherson1999:
How is it going? Can we help you by any way?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] transformador:
Maybe it is a dumb question, but can we install gnome or razor-qt on this?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jholtom:
Nope. At least I don't think so. You should be able to install the package but running it is nigh impossible
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gunswick:
can unbuntu touch on the TF101 run Libre office and all the other Ubuntu apps from the main ubuntu app store (I forget it's proper name!)

if yes, the TF101 becomes a very valid laptop replacement (android kind of does but its office apps are average / limited is use).

is this useable as a daily ROM yet?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ayr-ton:
Is not possible to run Libre office and all the other Ubuntu Apps from central software yet.

And no.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] macpherson1999:
What kind of progress has been got in Ubuntu for tablets? Im aware about the progress in Ubuntu Touch for phone, but nothing about tablets. I really hope to see al my devices, at least, with the chance of gettinng Ubuntu into them
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ayr-ton:
Basically is not a main separation between Tablet and Phone system, both are using the same system, just with some devices hacking.

Here you can see the ports:

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

The phablet-flash images is official supported by Canonical and the working images is based on these images.

After official images theres Working Images (also, working images with restrictions like camera or wifi, etc).

And after that, the Working Progress images, that is images that is not usable yet. That is our tf101 image status at the moment.

If you click in the codenames, you will can see the working status and also the restrictions, if applicable.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] macpherson1999:
Yeah, I see where we are. I have no knowledge about developing but I can test what its necesary. So I have to ask something.... if phablet-flash is keeping updated but current Transformer TF101 ubuntu file doesnt improve or get any new version, could I see any change if I flash both files today? Or do I need developer of Transformer to update Ubuntu touch TF101 file?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ayr-ton:
Basically, the touch image is flashed inside a Cyanogen based rom, but is needed some hacks for make Android and Ubuntu compatible.

For this, is needed a developer for make a new cyanogen based rom with that hacks. I think the actual problem with the tf101 rom is an issue at pos-boot stage, when Mir try to starts. But I don't know exactly how to fix it.

Maybe jholtom can provide more information.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] danielholm:
So this doesnt boot anymore? Not with the image from the touch wiki either?

Mir is not yet standard and does not yet come installed in Ubuntu Touch. Its still using Androids display server. Do you mean Unity?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] macpherson1999:
It boots, but are required some reboots to work properly. As ithere is no new version, I havent tested again I supossed nothing new has come. Hope the developer can improves graphics, I think hes working on it!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] danielholm:
So still Quantal and not Raring?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] macpherson1999:
What I tested last time was Raring and it boots, but needed some reboots to work well!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] danielholm:
Trying latest raring and 0.9 from here. Just keep on rebooting until it works?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] macpherson1999:
First time I booted I was able to choose "Invite" and the enter to the different lens. But keyboard didnt work at first, so I did some reboots and then it worked
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] danielholm:
Still black screen for me...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] macpherson1999:
Im going to try it again, then I tell you what I get
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] danielholm:
Thanks a lot!

adb logcat gives me this error, which I suppose means that something is wrong with libc.

ics/linker.c:1598| WARNING: Skipping libc.so
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] macpherson1999:
Yeah, you're right I just get a black screen. I have flashed both ubuntu touch TF101 file and Rarinng phablet-flash file but they didnt work. Does anybody know how to solve it? I have no knowledge about development so I just can test it, sorry...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] danielholm:
Sorry I made you brake your working pad... Hopefully we will be able to enjoy it again.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] macpherson1999:
Lol, I didnt broke it, just restored my previous Rom and go well, but I want to have Ubuntu in my transformer, my phone and Deskptop, and its a huge pity that here we cant see any improvemente in that way!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] TomTcom:
Got it booted with the 0.9 and quantal phablet load. Raring phablet build didn't work, just the black screen. Looks pretty neat. While I understand it's in development and incomplete, I like writing guides as you can see from my signature. If you have instructions written down on how you are building/compiling I'll make a nice thread and others can play with it. It may increase support and user base. Let me know, if not thanks for doing this!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] macpherson1999:
It would be great! Really needed!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] TomTcom:
I made an image. I will test it with the quantal download soon and the guide is mostly written.

I still have to make sure it works once, have jholtom proofread, ask a question or two, then make a nice XDA post.

I'll make sure myself and others that are "dangerous" with Linux can follow along easily so you can play till your heart's content!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] macpherson1999:
Great, good news then. Tell us each improvemente or new movement in this topic!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] TomTcom:
The guide is now posted at the link below. Please note, It's a WIP and isn't finished. I have some edits and questions still to make sure this works for all of you. If you have done this type of compiling before, you are probably are good to go. If not just give me some time to get it cleaned up and finished.
