Even though the whole thing is a dev preview, I found this absolutely amazing Although, without a reboot to recovery option and without working volume buttons it was complete hell trying to get it into recovery (Assuming adb wasn't functioning) i opened up my Adb console and to my surprise, it worked! How nice is that? ADB working on Ubuntu touch preview. Calling also works, but dialing is a pain in the backside due to the OS re-size issues :fingers-crossed:
[Desire HD Android Development] woernsn:
i didn't have problems with coming to recovery..

keep pressing the shutdown-button to restart phone while running ubuntu. When it turns off, hold down VOL DOWN button.

worked for me!
[Desire HD Android Development] Mustaavalkosta:
Yeah, it's basicly stripped down CM10.1 M1 + separate Ubuntu rootfs so you are pretty much working on basic Android environment and Ubuntu running on top of that. Already having working CM10.1 is the biggest reason this was relatively easy to get up and running. :)

I can't answer about future releases, but for the developer preview ADB access is there in the official release. (You can check the official Ubuntu release notes in the first post)

Re: [ROM][DEV] Ubuntu Touch Developer Preview [2013-03-03]

Well if they decide to stop using Android and they build the whole OS without the help of Android, the feature (Android Debugging) could disappear, unless they decide to implement a similar feature.
[Desire HD Android Development] DavidTiger:
My guess is that if they drop android and become total native linux/ubuntu all the usual ADB stuff would be done by SSH or something very similar to Android's ADB.

Gave it a little test while I was in the process or switching ROMs. Seems to run okay on my DHD. Will be an interesting development to follow as I can see this working pretty well.

Nothing super but same was said about full Sense 4.0/4.1. And now I think ICS with sense 4.1 runs better than previous versions of android with sense :)

I have some questions.

First: How can I install a daily image instead of the image in the OP link?

When I use a daily image the phone crashes after the htc logo.

I looked for differences between the images and found them in the updater-script, which installs ubuntu touch.

In the script from the OP were some lines different, so i changed them so that the original script is now similar.

I zipped it and installed it via recovery and now the screen just lights up a little bit and stays on, but nothing happens (after the htc logo).

The system itself is running, because I get a connection via adb, but the interface from ubuntu touch does not appear.

Second: How does it work to remove the sample messages, in the Ubuntu touch release notes stands

but I don't know, which file i have to edit.
[Desire HD Android Development] Mustaavalkosta:
Re: [ROM][DEV] Ubuntu Touch Developer Preview [2013-03-03]

1. Sounds like you are doing what I had in mind to test for upgrade flash when I have some time to waste. Unless they drastically changed something it should work.

2. Those paths are usually for the Ubuntu's rootfs which is /data/ubuntu. So I guess the file you need is under /data/ubuntu/etc/.
[Desire HD Android Development] jonny-boy:
AW: [ROM][DEV] Ubuntu Touch Developer Preview [2013-03-03]

Atmel screens currently are not working on the ROM, you'll have to wait for a update on the rom

And I just erased the sample contacts and messeges and It worked :)

Ah okay. Thanks for those values. I'll update that zip too once I get to writing update instructions. I just picked some approximated values without testing them too much. :)

AW: [ROM][DEV] Ubuntu Touch Developer Preview [2013-03-03]

Does anybody know why the nightlys don't work with our device? Because normally they should work like on the other devices too. Or did they make a change which is not compatible with the dhd?

The system itself works because I can connect via adb. Maybe it has something to do with the display driver.
[Desire HD Android Development] Mustaavalkosta:
Well, if someone could translate that ubuntuappmanager sigsegv, that would go a long way...
[Desire HD Android Development] shark_max:
@Mustaavalkosta : What do you mean by

?
[Desire HD Android Development] Mustaavalkosta:
Re: [ROM][DEV] Ubuntu Touch Developer Preview [2013-03-03]

I mean that I don't know by reading that sigsegv error log I posted what's wrong with it. Ubuntu's gitweb for Android parts has received barely any changes after my first build which makes crashing Android parts kind of weird.
[Desire HD Android Development] shark_max:
Just wander for what "/system/lib/libbinder.so" was use for?

("

")

Ain't that possible that by adding a script (to make wifi work or anything else) would conflict with the update of ubuntu update?
[Desire HD Android Development] Mustaavalkosta:
I don't know what it is, that's partly why I'm kind of lost with this. In addition, I'm not that used to reading C/C++ errors coming from java background. :)

No, it's not logical to put this on simple init.d script to load a kernel module. If Ubuntu is now loading bcmdhd by itself, modprobe would just exit and that's it.

I even tested running new rootfs zip on top of my first build for Android parts and it's the same result there so something must have changed in that rootfs zip that is breaking Android side. I just don't have single idea what that could be and it may be even fixed already on Ubuntu's end as I haven't tested this again after my last posts.

Edit: And in case you are wondering what I mean by rootfs, it's this zip that contains Ubuntu stuff: quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip
[Desire HD Android Development] jonny-boy:
AW: [ROM][DEV] Ubuntu Touch Developer Preview [2013-03-03]

So is there any chance that it maybe will work with the nightlys in the future, when they remove the change they did?
[Desire HD Android Development] Mustaavalkosta:
Android side hasn't changed at all since my last build for it. I haven't tested rootfs zip lately.
[Desire HD Android Development] ayanamirei33:

[Desire HD Android Development] Mustaavalkosta:
If you want to test something, try to download maguro zip and take that ubuntuappmanager executable and replace the one in ace zip with it.

https://lists.launchpad.net/ubuntu-phone/msg00614.html

I don't find this very interesting to fix something that will be practically useless piece of software in its current state even if that ubuntuappmanager crash will be fixed, but I thought to share this tip in case someone else is interested to tinker with it. :)

Edit: I guess that came out a bit wrong. I mean I've currently more useful things to do than possibly waste time with this. :)
[Desire HD Android Development] jonny-boy:
I tested it and it hadn't any effect.
[Desire HD Android Development] waterbox:
Pretty Cool

Thanks for posting this for us to try!

I was pretty skeptical watching some of the videos online of Mark Shuttleworth talking up the OS and everything. It looked a little cheesey, like they thought they were simplifying things which are really simple enough already. I have to say though, the UI is pretty cool. All of the swipes to open apps, swap apps, and get to the homescreen are comfortable and natural. I will definitely give it a go when a more complete version is realeased!
[Desire HD Android Development] Mustaavalkosta:
I did update check on Android parts yesterday and there was nothing. Just posting to let you know this project isn't forgotten even though ubuntuappmanager problem has killed updates for now.
[Desire HD Android Development] hacktrix2006:
I know you'd not abandon this mate. There may be more updates near time of release mustaa
[Desire HD Android Development] waterbox:
I've been trying to flash a newer rootfs, but I am getting errors when installing the zip in recovery.

Does something need to be changed in the armel-ace.zip before I can install one of the newer rootfs? I did edit the update script per the OP. Does the date I put in there have to match the original date of the rootfs downloaded, or does it have to match the date of armel-ace.zip? This is a little confusing to me.
[Desire HD Android Development] Mustaavalkosta:
If you open the quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip, you'll see manhattan-quantal-armhf-tar-20130309-1.tar.gz package inside. That timestamp (and the whole filename) in updater-script must match the timestamp used in that .tar.gz package. I haven't checked this for a while as I've been busy with other projects so I don't know if there has been some change that makes my guide incomplete.
[Desire HD Android Development] waterbox:
Thanks, I'll give it a go.
[Desire HD Android Development] Mustaavalkosta:
I did a new android parts zip and downloaded today's quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip and ubuntuappmanager sigsegv is still there.

Edit: I did a bit googling and at least HTC's jewel and Asus TF101 is getting the same thing. Then I tried some things suggested as a fix but it was no go. Odd.

[Desire HD Android Development] abra-kadabra:
When a new version,??
[Desire HD Android Development] Mustaavalkosta:
When me or someone else figures out that sigsegv crash. This is not really a priority for me as it's in alpha state even when/if it's working.
[Desire HD Android Development] abra-kadabra:
It is a pity that the rom is enough for errors, and the work goes slowly, because the rom looks nice wait until a more stable version comes out .. greetings
[Desire HD Android Development] Mustaavalkosta:
Well, anything you see on your screen comes from Canonical thus any progress is very much depended on them. I only compiled Android side (basicly stripped down CM10.1-M1) which is only used to power the hardware and edited rootfs zip to enable flashing on ace. This means that there wouldn't be much changes from me even if we wouldn't have that sigsegv problem.
[Desire HD Android Development] droid_genius:
Is this pretty much a flash like any other ROM? Or it requires more technical knowledge? And I presume nothing has changed because Mr Ubuntu hasnt changed or began to develop it on a regular.

I have an extra Nexus just to test ROMS and what not. Wanted to give this a whirl
[Desire HD Android Development] Steam.:
Does the touch work for a synaptics touchscreen?My touchscreen does not, not even the buttons light up.

edit: lol, i'm dumb.I had to google on how to move away from the main screen, turns out you need to pull from the extreme left edge and then move on to what I want.
[Desire HD Android Development] Mustaavalkosta:
It's easier for internal memory devices which I presume you have when talking about nexus device. This only requires user interference because Ubuntu's fs package won't fit in /data while you extract it there too.

On sidenote: this project is becoming more and more lost cause. I did fresh android parts build today and now it won't even get recognized via adb and still doesn't boot. Not sure what they have done to kill adb too and I can't be bothered to find out...
[Desire HD Android Development] ILA:
Maybe you could ask here why the adb does not work... They say that it's working, so you could ask them what they've changed since last version...

new porting guide

They made a new Porting Guide for Ubuntu touch, because they changed the way how ubuntu touch works together with android (something with unflipped and flipped) maybe this Guide will help to develop a newer version since the first builds.

[Desire HD Android Development] Mustaavalkosta:
I don't think I will have time to push this project forward anymore so I tagged is as discontinued. If I suddenly have more time in my hands later on, I may continue it with the new guide and stuff but for now I'm just too busy with other projects that take priority over this one.

Hi now that ubuntu touch is released to manufacturers, and updates are coming in thick and fast... is there going to be an update to the HTC Desire HD / ACE version?
[Desire HD Android Development] jonny-boy:
I think we have to wait for the new porting guide. After they flipped the images there aren't many ports which work, even so many ports are listed on the website. I couldn't find any port which is still in development. So maybe the new porting guide will make a difference.
[Desire HD Android Development] Mustaavalkosta:
Not from me but if someone wants to take over everything I did in the past is available in Github.
[Desire HD Android Development] xdagee:
what does the person need to takeover? any special skills :p
[Desire HD Android Development] Mustaavalkosta:
Dunno, I haven't been following Ubuntu development since I quit this project. I guess willingness to spend craploads of time figuring out what they are doing in the Ubuntu land is the most important one unless you can find some other msm7x30 device that has working codebase that you can port over to ace.
