@ivanfix What color Thumb Switch were you after,

When I get home from work tonight I will make a VR theme flash zip for you, and see if that will work for you
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Tired Storeman:
Hey badkill,

i made a "No Dividers VR Theme Flasher" zip for you

Please try it and see if it works for you, i just tried it and it worked fine for me.

This zip should work on Stock and Aosp themes

Simple Holo Blue Stock Theme

Hey Guys,

I am in the process of making a simple Holo Blue Stock Theme visual, but I have hit a brick wall:silly:

The first screenshot below shows what i have achieved so far.

The second screenshot helps to explain the brick wall so to speak

I am trying to find the location of the 3 png files numbered in the second screenshot

I have searched till i have square eyes, but i just cannot find the 3 png's

I would expect them to be in framework/res/drawable-hdpi, but i just cannot find them.:crying:

If you could shed some light on their location it would be greatly appreciated.

I am on Alliance v7.02 Stock Theme.

Our phone is slightly below the minimum requirements for this system but if it can run on it when they get the first alpha version going it will be fun and amazing. i think the phone, tablet, PC running together is the wave of the future and Ubunto will be one up on the other systems. whether they can take advantage of it is another story. Thanks for developing this.:cool:

MeeGo/Sailfish, super fast even on an OMAP3630 device like the N9. Can be hard to port tho

Sent from HTC Incredible S @ CM10.1
[Epic 4G Android Development] eigerzoom:
through the long line of development of sailfish from maemo, moblin & meego there have been many keyboard phones it ran on.

just sayin

http://taskumuro.com/artikkelit/the-story-of-nokia-meego
[Epic 4G Android Development] AndyYan:
True.

My N900 now tri-boots Nemo, a Mer branch, and Mer is MeeGo with Qt. MeeGo originates from Maemo, the native OS of N900 and few other Nokia devices.

N950 is the keyboarded N9 mentioned in the article. However, due to Stephen Elop's forcing WP7, N9 is the last stand of MeeGo from Nokia, and 250 suites of N950 are only given to developers and gurus.

...At least the three devices all can run Android well though :o But still willing to see Sailfish running on sth else like an E4G to fulfill my N950 dream.

Sent from HTC Incredible S @ CM10.1
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Can any android devices run sailfish? Not sure if that's what you meant by your last sentence.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AndyYan:
I don't honestly think that way by using that sentence. After all, Android for N900, etc. is run on a file system isolated from the default Maemo/MeeGo one, which means the structure is highly different. Sailfish is a developed MeeGo so I expect the same.

BUT because even so sophisticated a port as the Ubuntu Touch (file system not as complicated but quite similar to standard Linux, I assume) can run on a phone, there still is hope to port some more genuine Linux builds like the Sailfish to an Android device.

Whether we will have it depends on what @bbelos reckons :rolleyes:

Sent from HTC Incredible S @ CM10.1
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Meant the one before the last.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AndyYan:
And I do meant that, and thus explained as above. Personal conclusion: no Android device can EASILY run Sailfish and the likes due to a largely different filesystem. What's more, I've not seen Jolla releasing anything positive other than a Linux-based SDK :banghead:

Thanks

I read every aspect of your patch. I ran into many errors with the fascinate and I removed Aries parts and did the hardware/samsung patch. Now i have a working Ubuntu Touch. Thanks you do some very impressive work. One question , how do you change the partitions to get more space im asking this for future reference? I will go ahead and remove those media files.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
That's in drivers/mtd in one of the folders there in the file called Samsung_epic.c or maybe .h. I think it's in onenand.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
I found it , but I have no idea how to change it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
There's a formula you can use.

For example if there's a line like .size = (800*SZ_256K), //931

**

* You would do 800*256/1024=mb

**

in this case 200 mb
[Epic 4G Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
What does // mean

The only partitions I have are

Boot

Recovery

Data data

Reservoir

How do I know which one is my system. I'm thinking Ubuntu is not fitting and I did use the epics preinstated zip.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
The fascinate partitions work differently than the epic. You might want to discuss this in their forums.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
Thanks I already started.
[Epic 4G Android Development] moocow1452:
Hi, just transplanted over from Ubuntu Nook Color dev work after my usb port on device fell apart, and now I found myself with a used Epic on Ting that I plan on using until it just won't go no more. Any progress that has been made on this one since march, and will the series of flash zips still work if you run them through an apt-get update?

EDIT: It still boots, but you aren't kidding when you say it's packed to the gills. Any chance we can boot or offload important bits onto the SD card, like that one recovery f09 image that can run from recovery?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
Could you update your slim downed preinstalled image to saucy
[Epic 4G Android Development] sgtkwol:
I think the latest from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch/daily-preinstalled/current/ should just work. They are much smaller than the one that Bbelos originally trimmed down to 357.33 MB. Can't find my Epic to test, but should be flash the bootstrap file from the OP, flash the saucy-preinstalled-touch-armhf.zip 338M, then the layout fix.

It is also very possible that the original bootstrap will need to be recompiled, since Ubuntu is no longer chrooted on top of a stripped down Cyanogenmod within the last 24 hours.
[Epic 4G Android Development] moocow1452:
It doesn't work natively. Let's rebuild a bootloader! :victory:
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Due to our lack of source, it would be almost impossible to build a bootloader. Qualcomm and Texas instruments have open source reference code for their bootloaders, so it would certainly be easier if we had one of their socs.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
Um I dont have an epic and I just wanted to try to get it to boot on my fascinate and of course I know this I compiled my own build too bad it didnt boot at all I had a logcat but... I kind of gave up
[Epic 4G Android Development] moocow1452:
Bootstrap then, the Ubuntu Bootstrap is out of date, and we need to patch it.

EDIT: Unless, that black screen was supposed to be there because that's an known bug with devices that you need to redo some stuff to get the display working... This is why you do not beta test after midnight...

GPU Crash.

Hello

I installed this on my wifes old epic 4g and the shell restart command didn't do anything.

I was able to take a look at logcat and notice the surfaceslinger app crashing every 2 seconds. while opening a frame buffer doing opengles rendering.

So that seems like the place to start to fix the gpu issue.

Where is the code for the epic4g port of ubuntu touch so i can try fixing it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] moocow1452:
When I ported it to Nook, I mostly followed the porting guide, and updated the Nook over SSH proxy and that seemed to work okay. But that seems tricker to fix for this one.
[Epic 4G Android Development] annerajb:
what changes are needed for the ubuntu bootstrap? are those the same patch files that where linked on the first post?

I am setting up a VM for ubuntu touch development but ill be done in around 8 hours.

So wanna get a head start on the patches and starting to understand what they do.
[Epic 4G Android Development] moocow1452:
Bootstrap should work fine, it's the display that's buggy. Unless it's a problem with a bootstrap, try the old one, then patch up a new copy, op post should give instructions. If the screen is still black, then apt-get update over ssh.
[Epic 4G Android Development] annerajb:
hmmm..

This is the procedure I did just in case. I may have done something wrong.

Installed ubuntu bootstrap on OP post.

installed quantal packgage on OP post

installed epicmtd layout fix

booted checked it worked fine

went into recovery and wiped /data (and i think cache)

installed saucy package from yesterdays nightly

installed epic mtd layout fix.

After boot screen is black. But home buttons at the bottom are illuminated.

I am able to connect thru adb shell and i get the following shell

root@android:/ #

I didn't noticed anything weird on the dmesg

It dosnt seem to be inside the ubuntu chroot and more like a busy box.

Since I dont have a chroot I cannot run apt-get to install ssh or update any ideas?
[Epic 4G Android Development] moocow1452:
Try building the latest version of the bootstrap plus patches?
[Epic 4G Android Development] annerajb:
Yeah I downloaded ubuntu and am downloading all the github repos right now.

This link is broken and is on queue to be updated by the ubuntu dev team

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

So I am currently following this

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

And Ill probably ask on irc how to build the bootstrap (assuming that's not build when you run the brunch command.
[Epic 4G Android Development] annerajb:
I finally got a build done.

And been trying to test it.

First off I think the screen issue I was having after using the latest nightly was because the nightly dosnt have one of the changes that bbelos did so the screen backlight can be turned on.

I am working on getting the output of ubuntu into my cellphone but they recently changed the image to be a flipped image. and the process has changed including the kernel right now the flipped image saucy runs a androish kernel and the os is ubuntu while the non flipped ie. quantal was inverse ubuntu ran inside a container on android.

I tried using the recovery.img found on out/target/product/epicmtd/recovery.img

After that the phone rebooted and tries installing something from the sd card and complains about not having root. so I think something has to be different but not sure what.
[Epic 4G Android Development] moocow1452:
Second problem is uncharted water, but there might be an orientation flag somewhere in the cyanogen files you pulled. I think it was kernel, but ask the mail list and or devs for epic how to fix orientation, because it can be done.
[Epic 4G Android Development] annerajb:
Update got the new bootstrap compiling and right now i am deleting from the bootstrap the /app folder and the /media/audio and /media/bootanimations.zip

Since it's failling to boot because it runs out of space.
[Epic 4G Android Development] annerajb:
That's not what I meant when i said flipped.

Flipped is the ubuntu team term on where android and ubuntu are running.

On unflipped images (the old one like quantal) the bootstrap is android and contains a folder with ubuntu.

While flipped images the bootstrap is ubuntu and there is a folder for android stuff.

Right now trying to figure why it dosnt boot to ssh prompt.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sgtkwol:
Make sure you are changing the partitioning according to the OP. Also, recovery is packed in with the boot.img on the Epic.
[Epic 4G Android Development] annerajb:
Thanks I revisited OP post and noticed the phone should have 940MB on data while right now it has 910MB So something appears to be wrong on the kernel.

I do have the changes so I am not sure why it's not using the new partition info. (maybe the makefile changed and now it uses another .c file)
[Epic 4G Android Development] sgtkwol:
While I'm thinking about it, I also wouldn't flash any of these kernels with Heimdall. I don't know if they repartition, when flashed that way.
[Epic 4G Android Development] annerajb:
I flashed it with heimdall but the partitions appear to not have updated.

Since it still shows a 918mb of /data instead of the 940mb.

Wonder if bbelos modified the PIT file and uploaded it again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sgtkwol:
I doubt he did anything with the PIT file. Ubuntu Touch is essentially a rom, just like CM, PA, AOKP, etc. He modified/compiled the kernel and stripped down the Ubuntu image (which may not be necessary, anymore) to work with the Epic.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
PIT files are for repartitioning to RFS. While bbelos did repartition, he did so for the MTD partition map, which is dealt with within the kernel. He did strip the image down partially despite the partition map changes because our internal storage is tiny, so he didn't want to take too much away from usable storage.

Hello;

I am planning to buy htc sensation xe which was released in oct 2011. My question is until when the phone will continue to have firmware updates and bug fixes?, anyone knows when it will be discontinued by htc?, what happens if a phone stopped receiving updates, will it still be usable?

Sorry for this but I am updating from nokia 6800.

Thanks in advance for your help.

[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

HTC are very slow with their updates for the Sensation.

This is a very sore point,considering that this was once a flagship phone.

Having said that,the unofficial route taken by our very clever Devs,means we have the latest ROMS available (namely Android 4.2.2)

It works well so as long as there are Devs willing to give up their time for us,we will keep up ...

:)
[HTC Sensation] jhafner:
Hi malybru;

Thanks for your reply.

But what happen in general if a smartphone stopped recieving updates, whether officially or from dedicated forum members, can i still use it as a phone?, can i install apps to it?, anything I should care or pay attention for?

Hi,

Yes, you can still use the phone, and do all the normal things.

Hi guys,

First of all im a noob in all the android scene, and i looked alot of solutions for this problem and the only solution that i can find requires Root, but im trying to find out if there is a easier solution.

So, i have internet limited at 30mb a day with my 3g service, and i have wi-fi in my house...when i connect my phone to my wi fi i dont mind all the apps to acess the net, to update etc but when i get off the wi-fi and enter the 3g i would like to give only internet acess to the messenger app.

all that i found was that i need to use a firewall to block the internet acess to all the apps except the messenger app, when im using the 3g, but i find that i need to root my phone.

I just want to know if there is a easier solution or if i need to go with the ROOT.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] TheCloneGamer:
You don't need root for that

Go to

Settings>data usage>scroll down And u can find all apps which have been using internet select each manually and check the box with 'restrict all data'

That's it hope this helped u:(:thumbup:
