There is a build that work on i9300 but data calls Tex's don't work. There is links in this thread to it. Follow them and good luck working on this. Also You really need to talk to Ubuntu directly to get the best advice.

In my post at 3rd page. About the dualboot.sh attempt for i9300.

You can check it. It's working the first part of the recovery downloading mode. The twrp recovery download.

I'm working on it about 2 months. But i've lost the script changes yesterday. So, I'm fixing it today.

Is there any Ubuntu touch project that is still alive? It would be great to see Ubuntu Touch or SalifishOS as an alternative! :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Flohack:
Hi Guys,

I will try to pickup the work for Samsung S3, to bring it to current level of Ubuntu Touch. Unfortunately to say, even if I am successful, in about one year Ubuntuś gonna change everything on the phone again, and we have to start over. That said, it will still be a nice exercise for me, and maybe some useful result for you.

I am related to the porters at https://ubports.com/ and so I try to stick with the published method, starting by using the current CM12.1 sources for i9300 and the prepared tree from ubports.

Recovery is already working, now working to get a boot with adb. Framebuffer console shows at least something is booting :)

Question: Is the original poster still here? =)

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Flohack:
Hi,

sorry but there is no current version of Ubuntu Touch for Samsung S3. I was not able to continue working on the port because I had to put all efforts into other tasks around taking over the organization from Canonical to UBports. I will come back to this device when time permits.

You might get hold of one of the other devices, where it currently works on, see http://devices.ubports.com

link of last version?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Flohack:
Hello,

sorry to say but there is no usable version for the S3 anymore. After a lot of Analysis it seems that the kernel version is too old (3.0) - current Ubuntu Touch builds require at least kernel version 3.1 - That said, I am now focusing on S3 Neo =)

If you find someone who can port the S3 kernel to 3.1 we could try again.

There are also people looking into S5 and S7 now, but it is too early to say smth about it.

Hi Androguide.fr, I tried to install the files in OP but with no luck.

I was on PA 3.57 and using TWRP 2.5.0.0 after a nandroid I made a factory restore and once again I wiped data, cache, dalvik and system.

Then flashed the two files following the order you gave in the OP.

When rebooted the device the Samsung splash screen appeared but after it only a black screen. I waited a few minutes and restarted the device by pressing the power button and same as above, Samsung splash and then black screen.

So I reverted back to my previously backed up nandroid.

Any help or idea?

Anyone having the same issue?

I downloaded the file directly in my s9300, so maybe a file corruption?

Thanks again for your answer and for the effort by porting U.T.

Cheers,

dafunk

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Androguide.fr:
I'd suggest you check the md5 of both downloads (if on your device, in terminal type md5sum /path/to/file)

If they match with the ones provided in the OP, then try to wipe /system, /data, /cache & /cache/dalvik-cache before re-flashing both files.

It usually boots pretty quickly after the black screen appears (like less than 30 seconds)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] dafunk2:
Ok boss, I will try later.

In fact I suspected a wrong download/md5 mismatch.

Thank you again,

Did you modify cm initramfs or add new ubuntu ones? Were you using r3p1 or the older ones?

Gesendet von meinem GT-N7105 mit Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Androguide.fr:
I basically just patched procfs & modified the config flags, then built it using Siyah's ramfs & toolchain and replaced the boot.img in my previous build with the resulting one.

Now I also made a new full build using the kernel from https://github.com/Ubuntu-i9100/android_kernel_samsung_smdk4412, but from the logcat it seems like SurfaceFlinger doesn't start, causing a black screen.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] DerTeufel1980:
the kernel linked above is using old mali driver. did you also take the old mali blobs?

by using siyah kernel, are you sure the rom did get recognized as cm10.1 by the init? gokhanmoral is checking files in frameworks folder, to know which type of rom is booting. ubuntu is missing this folder.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Androguide.fr:
Oh I didn't know about this check, any idea in which file it is so I can disable it?

About the other one, I just assumed the blobs where from r3p0 too, but they should, right?

EDIT: Oh, my bad, you mean the vendor blobs right? Didn't think about it, I just extracted them from my device which is on the latest nightly so the blobs must mismatch! thanks dude.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] DerTeufel1980:
It's in sbin/init

Maybe just add [ ! -d system/framework ] && cm10.1

I think he was using cm10.1 as code but you'll see it in the init file. I can't look right now.

A even better way would be using a new code, like ubuntu, and add new initramfs to etc/misc (i believe it is there), but using the same echo command to sysctl in the init file, as used for cm10.1.

This way you wouldn't break cm10.1 compatibility

Gesendet von meinem GT-N7105 mit Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Androguide.fr:
Yup, I won't touch the cm10.1 check, just add another one for ubuntu, I'll probably just add a placeholder file in /system/etc and check for it to verify it's an ubuntu touch build.

EDIT: better yet, I'd check for /system/lib/libubuntu_application_api.so

First of all thanks A LOT for this initiative :)

I'm having issues flashing ubuntu touch:

I'm flashing this rom as a 2nd rom with Siyah kernel, I do all wipes: data, dalvik, cache and system, flash the 2 files, then rebooting the 2nd rom but I'm always getting black screen after boot I checked/downloaded files twice, repeated wipes but still having black screen, waited for 15 minutes and the rom doesn't boot just black screen.

My first rom boots fine and works, my cloned 2nd rom also worked. Any ideas?

Thanks again ;)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Androguide.fr:
You cannot flash this as a second Rom neither use Siyah kernel (or any other kernel than the one provided in the build) for the moment, mainly for the fact that there is no Dalvik VM nor Java, and that the OS works in a chroot environment.

I'm working on modifying Siyah sources to make Ubuntu Touch compatible with the kernel and its dual-boot feature, but no ETA on that atm.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] FrankyDoodle:
You can setup everything and have your daily rom as the 2nd ROM, flash Ubuntu following the instructions.

You can't dualboot but you can reflash the kernel and boot back into your daily ROM with everything still working (remember! Put the daily ROM as SECOND)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Androguide.fr:
Nice tip, much faster than restoring a nandroid everytime :good:

Wifi Fixed :)

Wifi is now fixed, and supports encrypted networks as well as open networks.

Again, I'm cleaning-up my ramblings before comitting and publishing the new build.

This also gives proof that the gyroscope is working as the browser rotates properly when the device is in landscape.

Nope, we're still very far from it I guess. The gnex has SMS, phone calls and apparently even 3G now.

Plus the builds are not very stable atm, for example my device froze 3 or 4 times today, had to force reboot it.

But hey, it's only the 3rd day since I first started working on this port, I hope I'll improve it further over time ;)

This looks holy moly good. Just wished it had the apps I liked at the moment!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Androguide.fr:
What apps are you thinking about? I'm installing some to see which ones I might want to include in the builds directly.

I've tried the terminal which works and looks great, an alternative browser based on webkit, a supercharged futuristic 2 player pong game called Plonk, and finally the File manager which is very handy.

I know there also are things like a Google Reader app, a Reddit app, a Whatsapp app, a podcast listener and much more...

You can find the full list of core apps & third-party apps at the following links:

Core Apps: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/CoreApps

Third party apps: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Collection

Community apps: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Apps

Also, please note that many of the apps installed in the current builds don't show up in the launcher, you have to bring them up using the search field in the status bar.

I attached screenshots of the terminal app and the webkit browser

13.10 based builds comin' soon

The new sources for Ubuntu 13.10 (saucy salamander)-based builds just went up, I'll make a build as soon as I can.

As a side note, I made some improvements to the kernel yesterday (namely, bumped-up the max freq to 1500MhZ, enable zRam by default and added Google's Snappy compression method to zRam and replaced LZO with it, as well as enabled Kernel Same-Page Merging (KSM)).

Hopefully it should help with multitasking perfs and random lockups a little bit.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] zulmajdi:
Is the new source sms, call etc related to sim working?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Androguide.fr:
I didn't catch what you mean, sorry.

If you're asking if the new sources are gonna fix the GSM, I don't know yet but probably not.

Apparently, unlike other hardware drivers/blobs, the current Android RILs aren't compatible with Ubuntu, it will require some modifications on either the Android side or the Ubuntu side, and I don't think I have the skills to do those modifications. Currently catching-up on C languages, i'm more of a Java guy, really.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Glebun:
but GSM works on the gnex
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Androguide.fr:
double post x_x
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Androguide.fr:
Yeah, and the gnex is maintained by Ubuntu engineers.

Additionally, you can't compare the quality of nexus source-code releases (perfect GPL compliance, full documentation and actually working blobs) with Samsung's, whose kernel sources are released months after the device is out, makes fake fixes just to make things build but actually do nothing, blobs that are different from the ones on the actual devices, and the list can go on forever.

Samsung is probably the worst OEM for devs to work with, it ain't for no reason that Codeworkx (Daniel Hillenbrand) recently stopped maintaining Samsung devices, and might be followed by Entropy512 (Andrew Dodd) sometime soon.

Andrew's Saga of a CyanogenMod Exynos4 device maintainer series of posts on Google+ about the state of things as far as Samsung development goes is very interesting to understand how wrong Samsung's dev support is : https://plus.google.com/u/0/101093310520661581786/posts/cdPnNjLAb4F
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Glebun:
I know, I just thought you said that GSM doesn't work on Android devices running Ubuntu
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Androguide.fr:
I didn't, I just meant that the current RILs that work on Android don't work "as-is" on Ubuntu Touch, unlike the other hardware drivers & blobs like bcmdhd, gpu drivers, alsa/sound drivers etc...
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] xXAndyXx:
Waiting for GSM phone call fix for daily use :D:D
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Darius_AWS:
He said that he is a "java" guy and fixing RILs require strong C knowledges, so don't expect it to be fixed very soon...

Plus the system is still on early beta stage so you cannot use your phone correctly with it. I think this thread is a preview purpose ;) but it remains fun to play with a brand new OS anyway :D

Envoyé depuis mon GT-I9300 avec Tapatalk
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Androguide.fr:
Yeah, it's basically a developer preview, it's intended for developers to start building apps for the platform before it becomes widely available, or to help fix bugs.

Maguro users can probably use it as their daily mobile OS, as it has all the basic functionalities of a phone (3g/phone/sms/wifi/gps), but it still lacks quite a few things to be a smartphone, which will be done by the time public, stable releases are out.
