Just a quick update,

I finished school today (Which means I was mostly drunken last week and therefore not able to make any updates).

I will try to resume my work as of Sunday - If I'm not too tired after all :D
[HTC Desire S] Niko0olas:
sick and tired of Sense... tried it few minutes ago.. i hate it..

as it comes to AOSP? mehhh =/

now.. i would really love to use Ubuntu! good luck guys!

good news :fingers-crossed::angel: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices#Running_fine
[HTC Desire S] gh1234:
I first thought someone got it "Running fine", that would have been awesome :D

Anyways, I uploaded a new kernel (which I was not able to test because I forgot my USB cable at work) with minor changes, I completely missed the point in the Porting Docs stating that PARANOID NETWORKING needs to be disabled.

Well I disabled it after debugging the browser Wifi issue for hours and it should work now. However I didn't test it. I will publish a new version tomorrow most likely + a new flashable daily build... The last one _MIGHT_ work with this kernel as well.

If networking works I will have a look at the sound issues...

GN8
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
There are few more newer builds I see...

Has it reached a somewhat beta state ?
[HTC Desire S] gh1234:
Not beta at all :D

New build with daily published right away.

Now supporting WIFI in userspace. Facebook App and stuff working.

I will focus on Sound issues now as I said before.
[HTC Desire S] dionisis1976:

Ohhh so excited, thanks will give it a whirl :)

It looks very well... Played with it only a little though tbh... :)
[HTC Desire S] gh1234:
Have a look at the first post, it's not in the working section yet, right?

Technically it works, you can call someone and you can answer calls! But there is no working sound /input/output/... And having a phone call without sound is pretty much useless. :silly:

Okay, an update on this. I am currently uploading a new build which I successfully made a call with :victory:.

+This build is super fast compared to past builds as I got a lot of code working that I had to leave out in previous builds... So there is working GPU acceleration now.

I will add a new quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip later today (it's 0:33 AM over here and I need some rest). But stuff is working pretty well with the old one: http://share.cascaded-web.com/phabl..._15-55/quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip and the newly uploaded phablet-saga part.
[HTC Desire S] totalnoob34:
Glad you made it :) is 3G working? (no offence/request/eta or anything, I haven't tried it yet since I'm using another ROM)
[HTC Desire S] MarshFlower:
Good work, i'll try it :3

I love this OS but sadly there aren't lot of features. And yeah phone calls works but the layout is too big
[HTC Desire S] gh1234:

I guess I need to fix the gestures :D

I just got the Xperia z so I had to play around with that for a while now, but there will be a new build... I'm still around and will keep my saga as a Dev phone which will make things a lot easier, because I don't need to flash android every evening to be prepared for the next day :)
[HTC Desire S] VnnAmed:
Any new builds incoming?
[HTC Desire S] gh1234:
My handset dropped dead (dropped as in the phone dropped down several meters and smashed on the ground), at least I didn't took my new phone to the party :/. Short story short conclusion... I could compile a new build, seems like 3G will be supported in the next days (Canonical said end of this month) etc., but I would not be able to test and debug it, so 3G would most likely not work ootb!

If someone wants to continue this I would love to help out (getting started with compiling + developing + ROM hosting etc)... or if someone wants to get rid of his saga (0-30€ I'm pretty broke atm + don't really want to buy a new outdated phone) :p I would take over again. Until one of these things happen, no new builds... I'm sorry.

I should have done a new build earlier :D But just wanted to wait for 3G support in ubuntu phone.
[HTC Desire S] nagorimayank:
Thats sad mate! :(

I would liked to test new builds but being this my primary device its very much difficult for me keep flashing roms! I really hope you get a tester out there. Don't want this project to die..!
[HTC Desire S] willmav5000:
Post up a guide for people on how to setup the environment, how to build, etc just incase anyone wants to have a bash at it themselves. I'd give it a go but I don't have much free time atm. Well Done on the current builds btw :highfive:
[HTC Desire S] gh1234:
You mean something like this: http://pastebin.com/1LaQxTwH :)

I created an environment from scratch and wrote down every step... You just need to run these on an Ubuntu 64 Bit (13.04 tested)

+ you need to patch the ubuntu part install script http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch/daily-preinstalled/current/

I just had a look at saucy-preinstalled-touch-armhf.zip

You need to change: /META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script

Add on top (e.g. after the /data mount)

run_program("/sbin/mount","/sdcard");

And change:

package_extract_file("saucy-preinstalled-touch-armhf.tar.gz", "/data/ubuntu-rootfs.tar.gz");
to
package_extract_file("saucy-preinstalled-touch-armhf.tar.gz", "/sdcard/ubuntu-rootfs.tar.gz");
-------
run_program("/sbin/tar", "--numeric-owner", "-xzf", "/data/ubuntu-rootfs.tar.gz", "-C", "/data/ubuntu_tmp_extract");
to
run_program("/sbin/tar", "--numeric-owner", "-xzf", "/sdcard/ubuntu-rootfs.tar.gz", "-C", "/data/ubuntu_tmp_extract");
-------
delete("/data/ubuntu-rootfs.tar.gz");
to
delete("/sdcard/ubuntu-rootfs.tar.gz");

That should pretty much do it...

To create a new build afterward you have to do something like:

repo sync
cd ubuntu/
bzr update libhybris
bzr update platform-api
cd ..
repo sync
make clean #might work without clean
. build/envsetup.sh
brunch cm_saga-eng

I'm currently preparing a new build, as said above I have no chance to test it but when it's done I will upload it nevertheless... It might boot :P

EDIT: Is online already :) Have a look and report back please...
[HTC Desire S] willmav5000:
Yeah something like that should do :D. I'll test out the new build at some point if I get more time.
[HTC Desire S] docertabum:
it seems latest release is not booting... at least for me...
[HTC Desire S] gh1234:
Welll I pretty much expected that :D Can you connect trough adb?

Plug it, run "adb logcat" and boot the phone? If you get logs you might paste them somewhere...

Also if the phone does not shut down right after boot, can you try (and paste the outputs) in adb shell:

ps ax
cat /var/log/dmesg
ubuntu_chroot shell
su - phablet
[HTC Desire S] docertabum:
I tried to get a logcat thorugh adb, but no luck... it was still waiting for device...
[HTC Desire S] gh1234:
"adb devices" shows the phone as beeing offline when it's running?

Did you flash boot.img?
[HTC Desire S] gh1234:
Okay... that looks pretty usual, are you sure the ubuntu part has been flashed without any problems? 1gb spac on SD Card, Full wipe before flashing? It's sad but I can't help you very much without testing it for myself... Just listing common problems, sry.

[HTC Desire S] L3van:
if there is a new build, that would be great, ;)
[HTC Desire S] gh1234:
As I said before, I haven't got a handset (dropped dead), my new builds don't work ootb and I'm more or less unable to debug whats wrong. Sooo no new build upcoming.

However I would help anyone to get started :) (As far as I can because with flipped images the build process might be different from what I used to do).
[HTC Desire S] eben80:
I also wanted to help you with the debugging via adb but unfortunately it never comes up while connected and getting the black screen during boot. Is there anything I can do via recovery that might help?

Also another question... does the android-content zip stay more or less constant and only the ubuntu supplied content changes regularly or do you have to recompile the saga-specific zip every time as well?

I wanted to try out your last working saga-specific zip with the latest touch zip from ubuntu(patched of course) but wanted to know if it is worth a try first.
[HTC Desire S] gh1234:
Won't work, actually there aren't that many changes in the device zip and it's mostly possible to flash a new Ubuntu zip and an old device zip but since my last WORKING build the Ubuntu touch team introduced flipped builds https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/PortingFlippedInProgress and there were so many changes that an old device zip won't work anymore.

The first question, without having the phone myself debugging is very hard especially when the device does not connect through adb. There are some things to test, mostly very low level which can only be debugged by creating a lot of builds with slight changes and some debug points to find out where the boot process hangs. It's very complicated even if you have your hands on the device ;)
[HTC Desire S] eben80:
Aha thanks for the explanation. I was hoping I could mount system or data in recovery and retrieve a log for you or something :)

I really need to get myself a proper build-box because messing with virtualbox just takes forever. Thanks again.

Hello.

I could really do with some help, please.

I have a HTC Desire S, completely stock standard, un-rooted, s-on etc etc, and it i stuck on the hboot/fastboot.

First off it became unresponsive, so pulled the battery and tried restarting it. It bootlooped a few times, so decided to use volume down/power buttons and tried fastboot then recovery. I can't remember what it did in those options as it was a few days ago now and I've been trying to find a solution since.

Anyway, I eventually did a factory reset from hboot and that seemed to do the trick for about an hour after which it crashed and entered the state it's in now.

The only thing it'll do is boot into fastboot. It doesn't matter what option I choose, it shows the android on a skateboard and returns to fastboot. The only thing it'll do is power down.

The phone is un-rooted, s-on.

The only details I have are on the fastboot screen which says

*** LOCKED ***

SAGA PUT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-2.00.0002

RADIO-3822.10.08.04_M

eMMC-BOOT

Oh and if I plug in into my Mac, it says "Fastboot USB" & "hboot USB plug" but not seen on by the Mac.

Help. Please.

I've bricked it, haven't I?
[HTC Desire S] razi914:
Unlock the bootloader through htcdev, flash a custom recovery, flash a ROM (see sticky guide for more details). Or Run a RUU , use windows :p
[HTC Desire S] biloz_nexus:
htcdev wont work because adb is not working, and he'll keep getting "fail to verify signature" error. or the screen will stuck on "Waiting device"

I'm having the exact same problem, and I'm trying to fix it since yesterday...

[HTC Desire S] sim-o:
I've tried plugging it into a windows machine with the same results - nothing.

I'm at work at the moment so don't have time to read the sticky mentioned (I will do later this evening), but I've run adb (on mac and windows) and it doesn't find a device.

I cannot 'get onto' the device, via USB or sd card, to do anything with it. I would've tried running RUU's and whatever but all the guides need the phone to be seen by a computer or run something from an sd card.

I've even tried swearing at it while gesticulating angrily..

I'm hoping you guys are going to tell me it's not an ineffectual doorstop just yet, but I fear it may be so.
[HTC Desire S] razi914:
no, no need for adb ,, only fastboot ,

u should install the drivers on windows , then type in adb/fastboot cmd 'fastboot devices' (ur phone should be in fastboot mode) unlock the bootloader (baby easy) please read this guide [Guide] How to root, install EXT4 recovery and custom ROM on HBOOT 2.00.0002 not so hard, OR run a ruu through fastboot

edit: use windows 7 , it will automatically install the drivers

Try a computer running win 7 , dont download any drivers, make sure internet connection is okay on pc, just connect ur phone in fastboot mode with PC, it will automattically download drivers,, also install htc-sync

That's like asking an s4 user "why would you want aosp? Just buy a nexus"

Like I said in a different thread. I'd be happy with an aosp base and a sense 5 overlay. And no I won't buy an HTC, tired of them releasing a phone every 6 months. But its just for the looks. The carrier skins aren't bad, but their base is and their update delays..

I'm using the Sony Xperia Z launcher on AOKP.. For me.. I just want the launcher of sense, maybe touchwiz, etc. The full ROM isn't a concern to me, but its cool to have more to choose from.. Some may want the power of nexus with the features of Samsung? One can dream..

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] rocklee80:
no really it is impossible to get touchwiz framework ported to our nexus. Galaxy framework isnt open source and uses different hardware! So its not possible to get that work on our n4. Just maybe some theme mods and the launcher. But lockscreen the apps and the new functions that the Galaxy s4 would become cant ported to the N4. You maybe saw the LG Optimus G Port in Android Development here on our forum and the lg uses exactly the same hardware and its rom is in ALPHA Stage and the developer bricked his phone due porting.
