UbuTouch Port solution (?)

:confused:

As far as I've read so far, and I still have to try this, but I'm building an environment in Ubuntu as we speak, the following is applicable to the S4:

(From): https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Porting

---------------------------------

Enabling a new device

As we're using CyanogenMod, we can easily take advantage of all the devices that are officially supported there.

You can find codenames and devices by looking at http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Devices

AUTOMATIC

If your device is already supported by CyanogenMod, you can use the same repositories available at github, and get them automatically by calling breakfast, like:

breakfast codename

Then breakfast will automatically set up your device specific repos at the local manifest file .repo/local_manifests/roomservice.xml.

Then to download all extra repositories, run the following command from the root directory:

repo sync

---------------------------------

On the Cyanogenmod website:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Jfltexx_Info

The S4 has Cyanogenmod resources, which means, porting should be a piece of cake...

I'm going to try this out, but I'd rather have a spare S4, since my S4 is a main phone right now and I don't want to risk losing my Stock working model.

I think I'll test it first on my Note 8, but there are no resources available yet. If somebody has a spare device, preferable living in the Netherlands, where I could test this on, that would be great.

If so, I could test and get familiar with creating Ubuntu Touch working images so I could get a tutorial going and might end up with an automated installer.

Let's hope for the best!

Having major issues with kernel compilation, it won't accept any new options I stuck in the defconfigs.

The rest of the compilation errors are solved, I can get it to boot (sort of, no GUI or anything, but adb works)

So, if anyone has experience with kernel configs under CM, please let me know how to solve this.

Also, will drop the patches on github ASAP, just need to clean them up first, currently some hardcoded paths in there :o

EDIT: Was editing the wrong defconfig :o Currently building, will report back.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustSueMe:
Pm'd you
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warg-Razdroid:
Well, it seems I have a GUI up and running now.

Here are the repos, as promised:

https://github.com/vwarg/phablet-jfltexx
https://github.com/vwarg/ubuntutouch-kernel-jfltexx

The phablet-jfltexx repo contains a prebuilt .zip, ready to flash as well as the patches I've done throughout the source tree.

The ubuntutouch-kernel-jfltexx repo contains the kernel.

Enjoy!

Another port for AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 where you can take good ideas

For the developpers in this thread. I think the developper "Aou" has gone quite far porting Ubuntu Touch for S4 and has developped a couple of ways to run Linux natively on a S4. In his thread I'm sure you can take some good ideas that might help you:

Update, while building my hardware overheated and died, as I believed progress was made until I perma-bricked my s4.

Late response but I'll retire from development in this area.

If I can offer any future help I have my previous settings on working hard drive, I can provide files at request, again its a failed build but who knows...

[MENTION=4912348]JustSueMe[/MENTION] Try sending a message to [MENTION=4354408]broodplank1337[/MENTION], he knows how to compile. All he needs is a pre-made source to compile the Ubuntu Zip.

He's willing, but busy, and he has no time to get all the driver's and bla bla done. So if you could arrange that, the Android Guru Broodplank1337 will compile it for you.

I got his message like 2-5 days ago.

excuse my ignorance, but how can you tell? I was under the impression that xt910 was the international gsm version? I'm in the us on the vzw network.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] neo.ank:
You're right Thats an XT912(CDMA version).

As for your problem,I'd re-install the drivers,thats what cause problem most of the times. Also try changing the port you're using.

Run the utility as admin.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xb4r7x:
Thanks... still no luck :(

I tried re-installing windows drivers, no joy. Booted into Ubuntu and tried the shell script... same errors. Tried a different computer (Ubuntu) and it hung on 'Waiting for device' (I dont think the phone was mounting properly, but that laptop is a pile so I'd rather not spend too much time with it).

I'll be trying again on my fiancee's mac... but if it still fails I'm out of ideas. :(

[EDIT]: It did fail, same place...

If you're not on the JB kernel, try using DroidRazrUtility. I used it and it's foolproof.

hi guys

im having problems in flashing many roms

these are some information about my phone

Build: 3.14.401.31

Hboot: 1.36.000

CID: HTC_101

RECOVERY : TWRP v.2

i was able to flash roms as Android revolution, viper, blade, ordroid

but i failed with these roms

Sky Dragon v.16.2 Ultimate - phone restarts repeatedly

airplane mode it's in "turning off" so there is no signal on:

MIUI; Orio; Insertcoin

force close of android process:

Sentinel Rom; CyanogenMod; Ice cold jelly; Slim beam; Nik Project

Paranoid Android - phone stucks on boot screen

those roms should work on my phone as hboot version is supported. Why all these problems?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Is your install procedures correct.

Flash the boot.img, make a FULL wipe and install the rom.....i know its basic but safe to ask first ;)
[HTC One X] kaosone26:
yes, i always use these procedures.

I had a desire hd and, because of the s-off, things were much practical. Thought i was ignoring checking something important, but wasn't able to understand what..

ps. i apologize for my bad english
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Can't think of the missing link yet. I know that the miui roms often needs a different boot.img to boot correctly. The others should easily work.....

Did you checked the MD5 sums from the roms that didn't boot ?
[HTC One X] kaosone26:
yes, for some of them i checked.

Tried changing even the recovery but it didn't work. Actually i have this problems since i unlocked the phone (december). But a the time i read that aosp roms wasn't compatible with the new hboot versions, so i never saw this as a real problem untill a few weeks ago..
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
There is an hboot update to 1.39 maybe that will help on the errors
[HTC One X] kaosone26:
mmm...to i need to relock the phone to update the hboot?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
If you can revert to stock.... No
[HTC One X] kaosone26:
ok...thank you very much, i'll try :)
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Don't forget to flash the stock recovery back too ;)
[HTC One X] kaosone26:
unfortunately, it didn't work..
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
What is not working ? Give me more info
[HTC One X] kaosone26:
just tried to flash a few aosp roms but, when they boot, it repeatedly says process com.android.phone force close. Instead Paranoidandroid remain stuck on the boot screen

basically the same problems that i had with hboot 1.36
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Probably a Rom issue i guess !
[HTC One X] kaosone26:
I don't know Hofs, it's very strange. We're talking about different roms. As far as i searched i found a very little number of persons with some of those issues and they were able to solve the problem just trying to reflash the roms (maybe because their problem was just a bad download).

Downloading another rom from the list of the not working ones, let's hope it works

Edit. Skydragon doesn't work either
[HTC One X] kaosone26:
i apologize for the double post

it is normal that after giving the command "fastboot boot boot.img" the device automatically restarts?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Yes because its

Fastboot flash boot boot.img :D
[HTC One X] kaosone26:
oh dear, i forgot to type "flash"...now it works! thank you very much hofs, i own you a favour :D

PLEASE make sure to thank developer for the dedication to this ROM

Please do not clutter the Development thread with non development-related chatter​
[HD2 General] kuzibri:
FAQ​

Q Why a special Q&T Thread for a specific ROM??

A The bigger a ROM development thread gets, the greater the chance that posts are being placed in this thread that are not related to the ROM development itself, e.g. problems with flashing, installation, bugs, things not working etc. However this is understandable, it's not according to the guidelines of XDA for Development sections. Therefore the main goals of the ROM specific Q&T threads is to avoid this cluttering of the original develpment thread with these OT posts by redirecting the posters to the ROM specific Q&T thread and also to relieve the developer from answering these post, so he can dedicate his time to developing.

Q How to move my post to the Q&A/T thread?

A Copy the text of your post in the dev's thread, got to the Q&A/T thread and paste it there. After having done that, go back to the dev's thread, edit your post and change the text into: moved to Q&A/T thread, preferably accompanied with a link to this thread.

Q When I'm asked to move my post to the Q#A/T thread, do I have to do that?

A When you're asked to move your post, there will always be given an explanation by the OP of the Q&A/T, e.g. your post is not development related (f.i. SD card problems, etc), so please be so kind to move your post. If you want to help the dev to keep his original thread as clean as possible from OT posts, then the answer is, of course, YES. Although we cannot force you to move your post, it's highly recommended to do so

Q Where can I download this ROM and How do I install?

A You can find the link to download and installation instructions HERE .. Pay close attention to this post, everything required for a successful flash is listed right here. If you fail to follow the instructions or meet the requirements for installation, you could run into some problems.

Q What are the known issues with these ROM's?

A Right now this ROM is in development and therefore still has a lot of issues, like recognizing SIM card, etc. But in due time all these issues will be solved by the OP

Q How’s battery life?

A see this question asked repeatedly across all ROMS. Honestly there is no way to give you an answer based on a ROM. There are too many variables in question and results vary from user to user and device to device. Battery life is going to depend on age and condition of your battery, your use habits with your device, installed apps, tweaks, settings, etc...

Q How do I...

A Ask your questions and report your issues in this thread. You will receive a response and hopefully get you back up and running this ROM to it's fullest
[HD2 General] kuzibri:
In addition to feherneoh' post, this thread is meant to be for Off Topic posts not related to development issues of feherneoh's ROM. In this thread you can post all off your questions which are non-development related (i.e. SD Cards problems, How do Iinstall this ROM, Battery life with this ROM, etc, etc). In principle this thread should become, after a while, self-sustaining, i.e. one member posts a certain question/problem and other members answers to that post. It's not the intend of this thread that I will answer all the questions!! This thread is yours!!

[HD2 General] Abu Osama:
Hi guys,

Thank you a lot for letting us have contact with you

Q1: What do you mean about not recognizing the SIM card? do you mean that it will not work at all? or it might work for some people?

Q2: can we get back to the old ROM (WM ROM) after installing the new ROM (Firefox OS)? and how?
[HD2 General] Robbie P:
1. It apparently does not detect the sim card, but some calls can be made and received. So it is a bit confusing atm

2. You boot into it using clrcad and haret (in NativeSD folder). After you reboot, you will be back in good ole wm;)

Is there any way to change the resolution? To have icon and text bigger?
[HD2 General] makuu:
I tried to change LCD_density in both build.prop and build.prop~ but it doesn't have any impact.
[HD2 General] Robbie P:
I think it is a problem with the gaia ui.

Reading here it seems it must be done when building the rom, method here, but must be with an up to date gaia version.

Hope this helps

Edit; I did find some customisations in /system/b2g/defaults/pref/settings.json at beginning and end of file, none of which seem to affect dpi, but which might be useful to some ppl.
[HD2 General] kuzibri:
Hi,

regarding Q1: AFAIK, sometimes it does recognize the SIM card, but in most cases not (yet) or just shortly.

regarding Q2: You always can go back to your original WM ROM by performing a Hard Reset. This will bring your device back to factory settings (it;s in the quick reference guide of your device).

kind regards, Kuzibri
[HD2 General] gilbert32:
you mean a soft reset (restarting the phone) right? because Hard reset will make him loose all WM data. and he is using nativeSD so only soft reset :)
[HD2 General] kuzibri:
Yes a SR is suffcient, stupid of me to advice to do a HR:o I had the impression that he wanted to delete this ROM, thus I interpreted his question wrongly.

kindest regards, Kuzibri
[HD2 General] thanhhairau:
how to delete wrong post? i don't know! :confused::confused:
[HD2 General] kuzibri:
in addition to eherneoh's answer: just edit your post, delete the entire post and replace it with your "new text", such as deleted, wrong post, etc.

kind regards, Kuzibri

Not too sure, but i think i've installed it right, but i only get the firefox boot-logo, and then a permanent black screen. Pulled battery after 40mins, and then rebooted, and its still the same. What should i do? I have a 2gb card, with about 1gb dedicated to each partition (1 for fat32, 1 for ext4). i there something obvious i missed?
[HD2 General] InV15iblefrog:
the second option that comes up; i think its DataOnExt, or something like that. I tried again using the other two options, (full Nand, and NativeSD) and got exactly the same result. Before you ask, i did do a full wipe, and the card is fully functional. currently i have put on the Slim rom, whilst waiting for things to sort out. I'll be glad to help out if i can.
[HD2 General] InV15iblefrog:

Edit: Now I was trying it again and it stay in logo screen... I use newer cwm and second card
[HD2 General] alam1992:
Is there a NAND version of this rom available?!

because the title reads NAND/DataonEXT/NativeSD but the OP says "For now, only NativeSD installation is supported, so you will need a recovery to install it keeping Windows Mobile"
