Hrmm..

It definitely looks like busybox is not in /system/xbin from your output. I know you said not go to there but just verify the busybox binary is there. ( ls /system/xbin/busybox).

You can also change the "busybox path" variable in all the scripts to point to where you have busybox installed.

Also all the files and the bt image need to be in /sdcard/bt or the script will not work anyways. Or you can edit the path in the "kit" variable in the scripts to point to the folder you are using on your external sd card.

also run in order

installbt.sh

startbt

bt

Checked it twice. Reinstalled busybox into /bin and /xbin and still the same outcome. Can busybox installler cause this issue?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Bender B. Rodgriguez:
I wouldn't think so, but I never used it on my s4. i just used motochopper root which installed busybox into /system/xbin

Did you try editing the scripts to point to your path where busybox is installed? Maybe try bboxpath=/system/bin.

Can you launch busybox from /system/xbin?

(cd /system/xbin

./busybox)?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] greenzone560:
I used mottochoper too. So I guess the better question is....wtf is going on??? lol

Yep I tried. Busybox is there. Also tried in /bin and its there too. Btw I perfer my script because you only need to start one script instead of 3 :P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Bender B. Rodgriguez:
true lol. Actually you only have to run the install script the first time so it is only 2 scripts any other time. :P

If you can invoke busybox from the commandline, I would assume you could just replace all the references to $bboxpath variable with just "busybox"

Anyways,

In your script, I don't see anything that binds the image to the loop255.

Dont you need something like this after the mknod comand?

losetup /dev/block/loop255 $kit/YOURIMAGEFILE
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] greenzone560:
Hm...thats a good approach I didn't think of :P I will try it later today when I get home.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] greenzone560:
LOL...I found the problem. My device wasn't properly rooted :P

im eagerly waiting to see where this goes i would love ubuntu on this beast
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Bender B. Rodgriguez:
Heh. Glad you got it working

How did u determine that? In your screenshots your terminal has a root prompt (ie #)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] greenzone560:
Yeah but i had to do a titanium backup then restore then root because it was really messed up in the /system
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Bender B. Rodgriguez:
Did you get vnc working??

My bt image vnc is giving me issues. Have tried several changes to xstartup and still just the grey screen. :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] greenzone560:
I have seen a few posts saying that you have to edit the vnc file...let me set my phone back up and and then ill check it out again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] i-wiki.ch:
Hey guys,

i have also the same problem. My vnc shows only a grey screen with a black x cursor. I've tried all solutions which i found in google, nothing helped. I've changed the xstartup and ui file in many ways but without success. My question now, which component causes this problem? I think we could find the answers in the difference between s3 and s4, because on my s3 it worked.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Bender B. Rodgriguez:
Im in the same boat as you are. Tried adjusting resolution and many of the solutions that I found on google . No success.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] greenzone560:
Man...I totally forgot about this, the bootloader semi-unlock came out and I guess I got too exicted making some themes and stuff :P

Have you tried looking into the vnc output file? I belive its somewhere on the data/local/ but dont quote me on it. I will try to figure this out today. Later tonight I will give an update if I figure anything out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] i-wiki.ch:
Have you already found something?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] greenzone560:
Nope. I lost my bt5 text file when I was flashing a custom rom and nobody REALLY wanted this so I kinda dropped th project for a while with all the finals and family stuff. I can give you my existing ubuntu.txt file if you would like.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] i-wiki.ch:
Hi guys,

i've senn that the ssh also doesen't work. Could it be, that theres a problem with the network sockets? neither vnc nor ssh works. Have someone of you found a solution?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Bender B. Rodgriguez:
Hrmm. That is odd. Ive never tried ssh on it and no vnc isnt really a deal breaker for me since I use the command line mostly. I too have kind of abandoned this. Im going to move on to building an image of Kali and start over.

Hey guys Im back...now with something even better. Ubuntu Touch...Im about to compile it on my desktop system. Would you guys use it if I actually put it up?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Bigbabyjesus:
I'd give it a shot. Actually been hoping this didn't get dropped. I think it would be cool to have some pocket Ubuntu.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Kole_Ackerson:
I would. Definetly wanted this since I patiently waited on my one xl and no one tried... im craving this ubuntu touch
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] greenzone560:
Please no +1s ...it doesn't help. It just clutters the forums. Thanks ;)

Now back to work, I have had some compiling issues (after 3 hours of complining it fails :facepalm: ) with the source HEAD file. Something about not having permissions which was caused by me copying and pasting a source with quotation marks that were wrong format :silly: lol

I have contacted giveen from another forum as he did get it to compile for the DS7. Attempt build #2 today. Cross your fingers!

Edit: No luck so far. Can't get repo sync, because of an unknown issue.

Sorry for the delay...this is why devs don't give eta's. Its always one thing or another, I just left my job because it was a dead end.

So I was deling with getting a new job, plus trying to start a small business, planning for college. I just have too much on my plate for free time. I promise I will post a flashable zip as soon as I can.

Thanks guys :)

Does anyone know if anybody is working on getting KDE Plasma Active running on the S4?

The internet reviews seem to say that it is currently more stable than Ubuntu Touch...

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] greenzone560:
Interesting project! But unfortunately it requires more work since the bootloader is not unlocked atm. In fact I don't think its possible at the moment.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] olechevytruck:
So... is this project dead? Please say it aint so... I'm not versed enough to even come close to developing this, but I love Ubuntu on my laptop and I want it on my S4. If it's at all possible I would run it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Aou:
I'll hint at a secret. I've got it working on my device, last I checked. I am still working out a couple small bugs, but I otherwise have Ubuntu running very smoothly.

I'll be posting something probably later this week. Too much craziness going on with the MF3 update these last couple days.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sspoko:
Hi guys,

I have really anoying problem, while I'm trying to switch off my S2, it's restarting, when going to turn off everything seems to be ok, but in few sec after black screen logo appears again. And another thing is that sometimes my battery icon on status bar is flashes non stop, all the time. Sometimes my S2 turning off its self and showing battery icon on screen the big one when you plug turned off phone to charger, and battery icon is with big dot inside and then showing like it's full, and then again with dot inside and full again. Really don't know what's happening, while I was using my phone few water drops get into my microUSB port the problem with battery icon flashes appeared for the first time, and then disappear and again. It's happening random.

I will be really greatful.

Thanks

Try cleaning ur battery contacts and ur USB port (be careful while you do this). Also, try another battery too.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _sem_:
Had very similar problems, plus phone would not charge anymore.

Thorough cleaning of the port with a toothbrush and alcohol + drying fixed the restart issue, but phone would still not charge.

I have replaced the USB&mic board in the phone. Not very costly and 15 min work if you google up and follow the repair manual; you need a small + type screwdriver and a guitar pick. But mind you get the same revision of the board - 1.5(A), 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, there may be issues if you interchange them, and 1.5 looks physically different.

Attempted to root with Clockwork and installing SU.ZIP.

http://galaxys4root.com/clockworkmodtwrp-recoveries/

I was able to get clock work installed. I run SU zip and the Zip does install. when i open it it said my binary is out of date. I try and update it and it fails. tried factory reset and didnt help. Tried to restore using KIES and that didnt seam to do anything. I also tried to install TWRP and that didnt work. Also tried motochopper root and still nothing.

Thoughts?

I have activated the Trip Advisor wallpaper slideshow that appears on the lockscreen. I have it set so that the photo changes every 3 hours. Only issue is that after a few days I am back to the first photo.

Does any one have any idea how you can get more photos added to the wallpaper slideshow.?

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] DanTheMan:
Hi, Im all new to the forum but ive had my xda for about a year, I got it on ebay for £160 but after a year of use I've noticed the screen has become dusty. So I was wondering is it safe and easy to take it apart I think I can get the screw driver needed as I work at a computer shop.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] WeatherB:
If there is dust between the layers of the screen then NO... It's a sealed LCD unit.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] DanTheMan:
I think is in between the plastic protector.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] WeatherB:
You mean the Screen Protector you installed? The XDA II doesn't come with a screen protector.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] DanTheMan:
I have the XDA 1
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] WeatherB:
oh... sorry
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Rudegar:
the xda1 dont have a plastic protector

but many people confuse the touchpanel on top of the lcd

with a protector both on xda1 and 2

a plastic protector you'll have to install yourself
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] WeatherB:
That's what I thouht he meant firstl; but wasn't sure whether the XDA 1 was different...

There is a repair shop that you can send your LCD to and they will clean it and ship it back; otherwise, no you cannot clean it yourself.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] DanTheMan:
Oh well I wont bother seeing as I will be getting the XDA 2 soon.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Grungle:
Hi,

The LCD comes in 2 parts. The touch screen part and the LCD part. The touch screen can be seperated (not entirely however due to ribbon cable) from the LCD as it is only clipped on. Using a very fine blade you can release the clips (2 either side of the longest side of the LCD). I would only blow out the dust with an ionizing blower as static will hold some of the dust there.

Was it the double dip or the double dip flip? I really want the double dip but all I've been hearing is stories about the case scratching the phone when you take it on and off....I switch phones almost every day, and I've heard it's a pretty tight fit and you can hear the case "grinding" the phone. Wish they would have put some "velvet" or something on the inside to pad the phone
[One (M7) General] yvibes:
I can totally believe this. I have had this phone for almost 3 months now and was probably amongst the first 20 people in the world to own it. As I am clumsy, I dropped the phone from my jackets top pocket (so slightly above chest height) straight onto hard wood floor and it made a horrific sound. Had the phone for a few hours and was in shock, picked it up and to my absolute surprise it was perfect, nothing, not even a single scratch or dent.
[One (M7) General] backfromthestorm:
Thought it'd be wise to put a rubber cover on, if not to protect the camera lens a bit, the next day my boss knocks the phone outa my hand, slamming on the concrete floor.

I find this hard to believe. Dropped mine from half a table's height and a bit of paint got knocked off revealing a silver bottom.

How it went: was charging the phone. Reached across to another table to grab some stuff. Accidentally jerked on the usb cable. Phone dropped on my thighs and proceeded to slide off onto the marble floor. This is about half a table height.

and yes [MENTION=3202953]eibbig[/MENTION] after my One X death (it survives many hits unscratched, until the final mega kill fall left it externally unharmed but caused issues with the SOC connection to the PCB), i do worry about internal damage now more than externals, this is why for the first time ever i am now a TPU case user :rolleyes:
