[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vaikz:
I cannot answer you that since I'm not a dev and we have different phone, mine is a p705g from Canada.

About rooting, the link I gave you is the most effective guide of rooting to almost all kind of android phones. Yes your right it's a little bit complicated.

But if you have doubt in doing it, you can try to pm some the devs here, like petroscu and xorox and ask for advise. :)

sent from P705G, flash w/ P700 v10k open eu. waiting for cm9/cm10 :)
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joomlad:
so i started to root with that other method but i got up to the part where i put system.img.ext on desktop and the next steps *(sudo mkdir /mnt/system/ etc...) i dont understand i typed what it says but it tells me sudo is not recognized as an internal or external command? i dunno it seems way too complicated, i may just try using v10c europe open and rooting the easy way and hope that works... was going to try v10i as its newer than c but i cant download it from firmware site
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vaikz:
sudo is a linux command. so you need to have linux system to perform the steps. if you dont have one and would like to perform it inside windows then follow this guide how to install cygwin.

try this site to download the firmware here.

or you can try this rooted europe open v10k here.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joomlad:
thanks, thats the site i tried but it tells me v10 europe open is forbidden etc...

will try flashing that modded v10k first then maybe try that linux thing, if not i may just give up on rooting as it seems very difficult compared to previous handsets i've owned
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vaikz:
@joomlad; if you still haven't successfully root and flashed your phone try this guide here. Its already rooted v10k, w/ unlock bootloader and cwm.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joomlad:
i had tried that modded v10k and it works fine now, but upon seeing that pre rooted, cwm bootloader rom i am thinking of using it as there is headroom for any custom roms that are released in the future. thanks for all your help :)

[HTC Sensation] LaidbackNikez:
Hey guys,

I thought I'd do ONE tutorial to guide you on how to get Ubuntu Touch running on your HTC Sensation. I will NOT offer any help other than this.

THIS IS ONLY FOR PEOPLE WITH KNOWLEDGE IN LINUX.

*

I am stuck at step 8 I don't understand, pliz can u help mi????

Nope.

*

WHY U MAD??

I'm not. I warned you that this was only for advanced users.

But first, the requirements;

>= 1.5 GB ext4 partition on your SD-card. (make sure it's the 2nd partition, ie mmcblk1p2).

SD-card reader on your computer.

Linux on your computer.

Ubuntu FS - (quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip).

Basic knowledge of Linux.

So here's the guide.

1. Download the Ubuntu FS & Pyramid image (you can get the pyramid image here).

2. Backup your phone.

3. Wipe everything (Wipe data/factory reset + dalvik cache, and your ext4 partition).

4. Turn off your phone, insert the SD-card into your computer.

5. Transfer the Pyramid Image to your SD-card (Like you would do if you'd flash it normally).

6. Open a terminal, Unzip the Ubuntu FS.

7. Run the following command; sudo tar --numeric-owner -axf manhattan-quantal-armhf-tar-20130221-1.tar.gz

8. Run the following command; sudo rsync -aP binary/casper/filesystem.dir/ /INSERTPATHTOSDCARD/ubuntu/

9. Safely eject the SD-card and insert it into your phone.

10. Boot into recovery.

11. Flash the pyramid images (the .zip with Evervolv in it). With CMW or whatever.

12. Boot up

13. PROFIT???

14. Change the values in /usr/bin/ubuntu-session (Look for export GRID_UNIT_PX = 18 and change it to 12)

15. Reboot

16. PROFIT???

I take NO responsibility in bricked phones, bricked SD-cards, loss of data.. You get the point).
[HTC Sensation] LaidbackNikez:
Please respect my decision not to help anything further than this. It is too time consuming!
[HTC Sensation] bryanchapman9999:
Wow nice one!

Not asking for help, quite capable of doing it, but - whats it like? Usable or runs like a dog?

Thanks for sharing
[HTC Sensation] boxter7:
You can see how it looks on ubuntu oficial site, looks grate! I will try this definitely!
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
Thanks for sharing. Successfully booted up.

Phone works to some extent. Can receive calls

but other person can't here. Most of the icons are

place holders...

Will you post any daily build or some kind of nightly ??
[HTC Sensation] bryanchapman9999:
If you are expecting it to run and look like it does on the official site I fear you will be a touch disappointed :rolleyes:

[HTC Sensation] arabology:
please don't generalize. many users already posted it's working, and you saying this now is confusing.
[HTC Sensation] topgeardave:
It's nothing near a daily driver. It's full of placeholders but calls work!

---------- Post added at 09:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:11 PM ----------

You sure you've got a 1.5gb ext 4 primary partition on your sd card?
[HTC Sensation] alex1301:
Yes, and extractet the tar.gz there. But i am really confused, because the instructions are for the desire.
[HTC Sensation] LaidbackNikez:
... You mean; "These instructions are just like the ones for Desire"? Yes they are the same. But that's because you need to do the same for both devices. Shocking right???

You're obviously not reading thoroughly enough.
[HTC Sensation] rp56:
Could some please post a screen shot. Thank you!!!
[HTC Sensation] alex1301:
I've read the instructions several times, but it doesn't work.

[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
Check your downloaded image.

It may be corrupted..
[HTC Sensation] GazaIan:
My Terminal keeps freezing after step 7, and in some cases it gets gangster and freezes any other application I try to open. Is it just me?

Edit: turns out Ubuntu got corrupted mid-session, it won't boot up anymore. Sigh.
[HTC Sensation] sy224048:
Hey nikez, is it possible to place this in a flashable zip or do we not have enough NAND for that? Or did you just put them as images to prevent noobs from touching it.
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
Whoever is having problem in installing , I can share my 4ext backup for them which can be installed in one go. Jusk make sure you have two partitions on your sdcard. First is fat32 and the second one is ext4. Anybody interested ??
[HTC Sensation] LaidbackNikez:
iirc Sensation has 1GB NAND right? It BARELY fits if that's the case.
[HTC Sensation] sy224048:
I think it has a little more, but i guess the SD ext could work for everything else other than the system.
[HTC Sensation] GazaIan:
You would have to share an SD Card image. An EXT4 backup only restores the small pyramid file that you flash in recovery, all of Ubuntu is still on the SD Card. Unpacking Ubuntu is the only tedious part, especially for me since I had to reinstall Desktop Ubuntu because the whole thing crapped out for no reason. And even now, its acting kind of funny.

---------- Post added at 03:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:32 PM ----------

Make sure to run the command as sudo. I made the same mistake while not paying attention and ended up killing my SD Card.
[HTC Sensation] albanodesign:
So it runs all from sd card, does this make it so laggy? Maybe can remove unneeded things and make it fit nand. does camera work for someone not for me?
[HTC Sensation] GazaIan:
Nope, it runs fine.

The entire thing can probably fit on the NAND, but honestly its not ideal. If you have an SD Card, use it. You can take back about 3-400MB of space for your FAT32 partition if you really need it. If you have more than one SD Card, that's even better, you can keep Ubuntu installed on that SD Card and you can pretty much use it whenever, just make the Nandroid backup. Much easier and a lot less of a hassle to switch between Android and Ubuntu.

Camera does not work, its a placeholder app, like many of the apps in the ROM. Calls and SMS work, but no data.
[HTC Sensation] rp56:
Give it a few months.
[HTC Sensation] Snoop05:
Ubuntu FS you linked is from 21st February. I found a daily image that is from 2nd March. At first i will try yours, if it boot and work i will try latest one. It should be faster if it will work.

BTW: Image is from here: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch-preview/daily-preinstalled/current/

filename is "quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip"
[HTC Sensation] LaidbackNikez:
See the filesize? It's the same. Don't think there's been much change.
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
No, You are wrong . It will restore the sd-ext partition also...

I have tested ....
[HTC Sensation] topgeardave:
I'm using a class 6 Samsung sd card and it worked fine when I flashed it before. Like Nikez said, it's for ADVANCED USERS ONLY. If you don't know what the sudo command is, DON'T TOUCH THIS.

Kind Regards

Dave
[HTC Sensation] GazaIan:
You'd have to have an sd-ext to partition to restore to it. Some people have it, some don't. I never used it until this. IMO for this the image is useful because it will actually create the ext4 partition.
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
Hi mate,

If you have gone through my post , You could have seen that I mentioned "you must have an sd-ext partition" ... :D

Thanks...

But I can access the fat32 partition as root(Admin) but not the ext4 partition.

Please help as I need to do this - "export GRID_UNIT_PX = 18 and change it to 12"

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] alex1301:
plug the sdcard in your pc and edit in the folder /ubuntu/usr/bin on your ext 4 partition this file.
[HTC Sensation] albanodesign:
after that cause it will not allow you to save, save it in somewhere else and replace the file from terminal with #sudo cp /pathofnewfile /pathofoldfile

or open it with #sudo gedit /path of the file

It works well with mwc builds but not with daily builds

Wrong thread, but I can't be bothered bumping up the old one. I have finally gotten ION to work on Pyramid. It still needs a lot more work (Camera does not work at all.. Audio doesn't work either). Needs a bit more tweaking before I release any build.

[HTC Sensation] Murtagh92:
R: [ADVANCED USERS ONLY][PREVIEW] Evervolv Ubuntu Touch - 1 [2013.03.01]

may be this http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/ION :D I don't know too.
[HTC Sensation] sy224048:
Ion is something to do with memory however it only applies to jelly bean roms.
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
ION is the new unified memory management

architecture that Google is advancing. Prior to ION,

every SoC manufacturer had their own way of

doing memory management. Qualcomm's was

pmem, Nvidia's was nvram, etc. It made it's debut

as an option in ICS and is preferred in JB. Being

unified also means that it is a good candidate for

integration into the Linux kernel mainline, which

would mean that Android would no longer require

it's own separate branch of Linux.

Some good info here

groleo.wordpress.com/2012/07/24/ion-buffer-sharing-mechanism/
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Google actually introduced ION into Ice Cream Sandwich, so it applies to ICS ROMs as well.

[HTC Sensation] sy224048:
I think this project deserves to be reborn. Ubuntu touch seems awesome. I would like it if at the least we could just flash the .zip files in recovery like we do with regular roms.
[HTC Sensation] xanda143:

[HTC Sensation] boxter7:
Is there any news? I see that the files are still from February ...
[HTC Sensation] gsmyth:
I thought this news would be positive, its a step towards it not being reliant on booting from android. Would this make it easer to create a Ubuntu 'ROM', i.e. one that can be flashed like others?

http://liliputing.com/2013/07/ubunt...-first-but-it-still-loads-android-anyway.html
[HTC Sensation] sy224048:
I'm not a dev and I have limited knowledge of roms, but I don't think that helps us with the packaging very much. In fact, I don't think it should be that hard to create a flashable ubuntu rom. All you need is someone who knows what they're doing.
[HTC Sensation] gsmyth:
Ah well, suppose it still need further development in terms of the os by ubuntu themselves to make it fully functional/stable.
[HTC Sensation] albanodesign:
Nikez can you post your local manifest for this build i'd like to try to build it from source. Thnx

[HTC Sensation] sy224048:
That would be really awesome, as only one other developer has tried. At the least could you package everything into a recovery flashable zip file?
[HTC Sensation] LaidbackNikez:

[HTC Sensation] LaidbackNikez:
I only tried flashing your .zip straight onto it. But to no success.

Anyhow, I just got the 3.4 kernel to compile properly. It even booted up on the first try. However, there were a lot of issues, (phone, launcher crashing, battery not starting properly etc.) So it's still unusable and will require a ****load of work.
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
You didn't have to make any ramdisk changes to get it to boot?
[HTC Sensation] LaidbackNikez:
I just compiled my own ROM and didn't copy villec2's files straight (I went through each file manually, thus making sure that the phys_offsets were correct and the proceeded to port them.. ) so that's why my works.
