i've installed but i get stuck on black screen, even after adding that line for the sensorservice, is there any one with ubuntu touch booting? and if yes, did you updated from an older version?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Omar97:
Hello!!!

Why is no anyone replaying on this thread ?!!

Please Help here :/
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jbseal:
Because thread is dead for a long time.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Omar97:
but ubuntu touch is a great OS and useful why there is nobody giving attention :S and getting in touch with this thread ?!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jbseal:
I also like The OS but since Canonical has not made to mutch about keeping the flame alive people loose the interest, but dont expect a full working port until a real phone comes out, then i think it will have the attention from more devs.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bbfox59:
The devs are waiting for a real change in the code for radio support, until this moment, I think this thread will be dead (why putting many efforts for a real slow progress when support for canonical to developers isn't really active?)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ozezz:
Hi man, that's happen when it's boot, I mean the black screen.. Just give it some time.. To me the first boot was about 15 min.. If that doesn't works, go to cwm and clean cache and dalvyk.

Good luck
[Galaxy S II Android Development] IconRunner:
Ok. Time for a status report.

Basically I haven't touched this since my last post. I recently upgraded to a S4 and just yesterday brought my S2 back to work on as a test device. That said, don't get your hopes up too high. I'm super busy with interviews and preparing for grad school right now and this is serious back-burner stuff.

Good news: I have the phone with me now.

Bad news: I have no space to reinstall Ubuntu.

I got a new SSD in hopes of dual-booting Windows and Ubuntu but my simulation software ended up taking up like 50% of the SSD. Hopefully I can make enough room on my HDD to set up a buildenviorn. Unfortunately this means dealing with github again and setting up repos. Might take a while but it'd be suuuuuuuuuper nice if the new ubuntu phone files don't need a ****ton of tweaking to get up and running now.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TeraJL:
i've waited 30min , tried to clean cache and dalvik with no luck.

i've done this(from cm 11):

wipe data/factory reset (Make backup first)

flash cm-10.1-********-UNOFFICIAL-i9100.zip

flash trusty-preinstalled-touch-armhf.zip

reboot

I can access the ubuntu shell through "adb shell", and have changed the "/etc/rc.local" and rebooted through the shell, but it still doesn't boot :S
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Vivek_Neel:
Yes only black screen I could see.

Am very tempted to use this on my s2:(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TeraJL:
i have tried to do:

wipe data/factory reset (Make backup first)

flash cm-10.1-********-UNOFFICIAL-i9100.zip

fix permissions

flash saucy-preinstalled-touch-armel-i9100.zip

flash trusty-preinstalled-touch-armhf.zip

reboot

fix /etc/rc.local

reboot

wipe dalvik

wipe cache

wait 30min

with no luck

i get:

black screen

"adb shell" works (that's how i fix /etc/rc.local)

the softkeys light sometimes work (??after connecting from adb??)

is there any old version that may work, where i can but it up and then update this version?

is it possible to be some kernel(i think cm 10.1 comes with one already, so, probably not)?

is it possible to be some modem version because of cm11 or something?

where can i find the logs that may have the answer for why is not booting?

if you have ubuntu touch running, could you give us the file/version of your modem/kernel/older ubuntu version that worked before/is working?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dany547:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] ozezz:
Hi man, try it with this files:

CM 10.1

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Vivek_Neel:
Thanks.

Will try and see if it boots

Edit: it didn't work.

Stuck on boot logo
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TeraJL:
didn't work, and is it normal that trusty is 464mb and saucy is 33mb?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] edd89:
CM11

is there any progress on this project? or is there anyone working on it or worked on with the cm11 kernel not the cm10.1? i wish i know how to developing stuff i would help..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rphlfjrd:
I know this is probaby an almost dead project right know, and as much as I would like to contribute something on the development, I couldn't.

Well, anyways. I was searching for Ubuntu Touch ports for other devices that has a working Cellular Radio and I happen to found one.

Developer of the Oppo Find 5 found a way to somehow make it work. If someone would be kind enough to contact the dev, maybe he could help us and together we'll have progress. (I know they're great devs as the Oppo Find 5 is a very open-source phone.)

Anyways, here are the links.

Can I ask why the images aren't updated after 14.04 release 17th april?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] amirfida:
there's no need to update them now anyways because even canonical have stopped working on this so it's not in active development anymore now

Edit: my bad they have stopped working on ubuntu for android not on ubuntu touch sorry for the confusion

[Galaxy S II Android Development] liawim:
Oke. Confused now who to thank for te latest build. Lol. Anyway thx.

What are the improvements of this latest build? Just curious....:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MaxWallstedt:
In the kernel "android_kernel_samsung_smdk4210" codeworkx pushed two commits, namely:

"bcmdhd: reenable IPv6, disable multicast in suspend"

and

"bcmdhd: disable GAN_LITE_NAT_KEEPALIVE_FILTER"

You can read the details in the Github repo.

I'm not too sure myself what effect these changes will have.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] aryan1312:
wanna knw y u said " install CyanogenMod 10.1 on your device" .... does it improve any thing or else something important... my default ROM is slimbean 4.2.2 :silly:, i normally flash ubuntu after wiping it... jst curious :eek:???
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ph87:
I've also flashed direct after Miui with OASP 4.2.1 base... without flashing the CM10.1 before! Works great! There was no need for it...:)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MaxWallstedt:
I suppose it works with some other roms as well, perhaps they are cm based (or at least alike)? The cwm recovery is probably the important part, I'm not to sure about this.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] aryan1312:
okay... yaa Slim bean is AOSP based but it uses CWM ... :good:

good all we need is a working calls and 3g and it should be stable or day drive ok why don't use other some of cm files to make them in ubuntu touch or from gnex drives and port them to s2 or even use genx img and with some modding it will work
[Galaxy S II Android Development] manulemaboul:
Don't see how the Gnex files could help.

Different RIL and baseband / modem driver, that won't help IMO.

fisic and haptic buttons?

good morning, i'm only waiting for the 3g/data (calls, internet, sms...) to use it like a primary rom, but anyone has the home button, or volume button functional? and the haptic buttons?... i think that with gestures it were inncecesary but the buttons are there. finally, by the way, you know when applications will be available (as whatsapp/line/weather/twitter/instagram...)? because if the rom is functional but has no application, I will submit the use...

also, thank you for your work! for me it would be impossible to do any of this because I know nothing of programming ...

seriously, thank you very much for your time and work!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] liawim:
Its qeuiet for now. The daily builds doesnt seems to have big changes. Would all the big changes comes as ones, when the daily drivers comes out in a couple of weeks?

What do you guys think?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] IconRunner:
No one knows.Usually I'd expect the major stuff to come out all at once, but since this is an open source project and build-bot, I'm not too sure. Either way I'm guessing it'll be semi-working within the next month (promo bits about "daily driver" were expected to be highly ambitious).

Good news though is that all we need now is working 3g and phone/texts! :)

...

Both are in Canonical's hands though. :(

...

But they work fast! :)

...

But they're out of our control. :(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] IconRunner:
Just a status update.

I've been working on getting the hardware keys up and running and think I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I've found where the key events are handled for standard android stuffs:

(open platform/frameworks/base/policy/src/com/android/internal/policy/impl/PhoneWindowManager.java and search for KeyEvent. or KeyCode)

and think I'm narrowing in on where Ubuntu Touch handles touch events (I think it's somewhere inside here). Now, I'm not really a hardcore programmer but we should be able to edit the PhoneWindowManager.java code to simulate whatever the event for swipes is right? As far as I can tell that should work.

Does anyone have an idea of where the swipe event might be located? I'm basically hoping I stumble upon it right now.

EDIT: Getting close....

EDIT2: After going on IRC, it seems like the code is in qml-phone-shell's Shell.qml file. I'm going to see if I can get our Volume Up/Down keys working. Not sure how this file plays into the grand scheme of things though.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] IconRunner:
We got working volume buttons!

Now to get those softkeys up and running...

EDIT: As of 22:50 EST the softkeys are registering. Now to figure out how Qt handles signals. If anyone knows how to call a signal from one .qml file to another, help would be appreciated! I've never worked with this language before :(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] devastate:
I will clone git's repo and take a look in the code, I might be able to help a bit.

Good job with the volume buttons btw :victory:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] IconRunner:
The code I'm working with is the launchpad part. Extract the phablet and inner Manhattan zip from cdimage, the shell.qml is in there.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MaxWallstedt:
The only code I found in filesystem.dir/usr/share/qml-phone-shell/Shell.qml related to the volume keys is:

138 VolumeControl {
139 id: _volumeControl
140 }
141
142 Keys.onVolumeUpPressed: _volumeControl.volumeUp()
143 Keys.onVolumeDownPressed: _volumeControl.volumeDown()

I'm not too well versed in QML, but I can't see how one could edit this to enable the volume keys.

I've found that the volume down button moves the volume slider downwards without any modifications, but the volume up button does nothing.

Moving the slider doesn't seem to affect the actual volume that you hear, it's always a bit quiet, even when you try to mute it.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] IconRunner:
I think I've got the volume keys fixed and have a working menu button that enables/disables the app switcher. Working on the home button now. Stuck on how this language handles broadcasts. Progress will be slower as it seems I need to learn some qml :(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MaxWallstedt:
It would be fantastic if you could implement this somehow in the build!

Keep up the good work!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] IconRunner:
I'll put my build out this afternoon/evening as well as my source code. I'm hoping someone who knows qml can join in. Not sure I can do much with the broken phone and sms.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MaxWallstedt:
In the quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip, the ubuntu-session file gives the

GRID_UNIT_PX a value of 12 and QTWEBKIT_DPR a value of 1.2.

In the ubuntu-session file in the Ubuntu-i9100 repo, the values are

GRID_UNIT_PX=11 and QTWEBKIT_DPR=1.5.

I tried both and found two main differences:

GRID_UNIT_PX=11 && QTWEBKIT_DPR=1.5

GRID_UNIT_PX=12 && QTWEBKIT_DPR=1.2

and

GRID_UNIT_PX=11 && QTWEBKIT_DPR=1.5

GRID_UNIT_PX=12 && QTWEBKIT_DPR=1.2

So both have their pros and cons.

The phone app's layout overlaps in GRID_UNIT_PX=12 && QTWEBKIT_DPR=1.2

and looks great in GRID_UNIT_PX=11 && QTWEBKIT_DPR=1.5.

The text in the messages samples weirdly in GRID_UNIT_PX=11 && QTWEBKIT_DPR=1.5

and looks great in GRID_UNIT_PX=12 && QTWEBKIT_DPR=1.2.

What would people here prefer between these two DPI settings?

Is there perhaps a way to fix any of the problems above?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Gertlily:
I think that people like to have more screen. To fit more. Well at least that is my opinion.

Btw. you guys are doing a great job on this!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] IconRunner:
I think we should go with the one that works for Phone as the People/Music/Video pages are still mostly mockups. I don't know if it's possible, but is there a way to use the average 11.5, 1.35? Just my $0.02 though, go with whatever you think is best.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MaxWallstedt:
I haven't tried 11.5 in GRID_UNIT_PX, but I've tried a lot of different values for QTWEBKIT_DPR (below 1, above 2 and a lot in between) and I don't think I really can tell the difference. I don't even know what that value is supposed to do.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] IconRunner:
Had a bit of a setback. Upgrading to Ubuntu 13.04 broke my ethernet driver :(

If someone could test this and let me know which hardware buttons work on your i9100, that'd be great. I'm guessing both the menu button and the main "Home" button should work. The former will pull up the app switcher menu and the latter should call the lock screen (just a placeholder until someone learns Qt :) ) If you could tell me which does what it would be much appriciated

Attached is my edited Shell.qml file (Lines 148 - 181 are new). I haven't commented it much as it's still very much a WIP.

To use it, open the latest quantal zip and extract the META and manhattan to a workfolder. Open the manhattan.tar.gz and navigate to

/binary/casper/filesystem.dir/usr/share/qml-phone-shell/

Rename my attached file Shell.qml, then drag and drop it inside this folder. Say yes to the replace dialog and let it repackage. Now compress both the META and manhattan to a zip file, push it to your phone and proceed as usual.

As long as downstream changes don't screw it up, you should be able to replace the Shell file in all future quantal zips with this so you can stay up to date.

Remember to rename Shell.txt to Shell.qml
[Galaxy S II Android Development] aryan1312:
hey is this update for i9100 or i777 ??

well i have updated shell.qml in the package jst wanna confirm before testin
[Galaxy S II Android Development] IconRunner:

What tool are you using to repackage? I used the native ubuntu archive manager. Manhattan is a tar.gz file so the tool you use needs to be able to handle it.

I had a brain fart last night and forgot that this zip isn't device specific. I'll upload the compiled zip when I get back to my comp in an hour or so.

Oke merged the file now and it works....very nice the volume buttons are working. Maybe in the future it would be nice volume wil popup on screen when touching de volume buttons. De button left under is also working. De configure page wil swipe up from the bottom of the screen. The middle and right button are also working as back button. But the screen will go back to the welcome screen. It would be nice if it only would go back to the latest used page....

Anyway...awesome work iconrunner. Im always prepaired to test for you...

Cheers
[Galaxy S II Android Development] IconRunner:
Awesome! So to confirm what happens on the i9100:

Left button (Android Menu) pulls up the swipe drawer.

Big Middle Button (Home) goes to the lockscreen

Right Button (Back) also goes to the lock screen? This would be interesting as the i777's Back and Search buttons are still non-responsive.

And yea, once I figure out how to call functions across qml files I'll get those buttons doing what they're supposed to. Right now the lockscreen is what I'm using because I can't find a way to print debug info to logcat. Currently I'm trying to figure out what our Qt.keyCodes are (for some reason the i777 Home button is Qt.Key_Back :eek:).
[Galaxy S II Android Development] liawim:
Confirmed!!!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sd65:
Can this ZIP be flashed on my Galaxy S II :cowboy: ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] IconRunner:
Which model do you have? It works on the International i9100 and the ATT i777 and any ubuntu touch that uses quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip. If you're unsure, replace the shell file with the one I provided.

EDIT: Guys, I think I've hit a wall. I have no idea how to call the Quit event across Qt code. Really wish I'd taken C++ in college. I'm sure this is easy peasy for someone who knows what they're doing - just mimicing code in the ToolBar.qm file. I'll attach my current Shell.qml so you guys can pick up where I'm at right now.

I've commented my work, enclosing things I've changed in "IconRunner Begin & IconRunner End" so you should be able to see the changes in a side-by-side pretty easily.

Oh, and here is the source code for qml-phone-shell from launchpad.
