You can just put that file in sdcard, doesn't matter.

Will update the OP. So, you should copy the file in recovery, it's easier. Copy to /data/ubuntu/usr/lib/lxc-android-config/

Looks like Camera is working if you mess around a bit. It's clearly an ubuntu bug.

So I launched Dropping Letters app (side app, stays black - another bug), then I launched Camera.

After that you can close Dropping Letters by sliding it away to the right, wait a minute and you should see your camera working!
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] mamenyaka:
Guys!

I just want to let you know, that even though we got a competition under way which is coming to an end, I will NOT stop development for this project!

Ubuntu Touch has just yet started! I am hoping that the flipped image marks the start of what this concept truly wants to be:

If you would like to show your support for this project, just head over to Xperia Tablet Z General section, where you can find details on how to vote.

Thank you!

Just installed on my tabz with flipped saucy images, and found I cannot unplug usb without triggering an emergency shutdown, and it is almost impossible to catch it in the act to find out what is triggering it. The best I've been able to do is narrow it down to upowerd calling for it, as for why I have no idea
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] mamenyaka:
Thank you very much for testing!

That's a problem I am very aware of, but other than the powerd errors, I can not get to the end of it.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] mamenyaka:
It is now fixed! Was an upower error, reporting 0% battery charge, that caused the reboot. Will be available starting today's ubuntu images.

Massive kudos again for the ubuntu dev team!
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] lilstevie:
I figured that was what it was after looking at the source, the emergency shutdown is only called when power is read below failsafe voltage. Does it require new images or can it be updated by apt cause the latest update still has the problem for me, but I may be missing something.

I've also started to work on sound, found a few bits that need to be worked on, if I make any major inroads on it I will post progress for you to pick up.

EDIT: I've just done the last lot of updates as of now and still isn't fixed unless the fix has yet to be pushed
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] mamenyaka:
You can update with apt-get or just try a newer image. upower needs to be updated so that it shows the correct battery percentage (upower -d). After that you need to reboot.

I think the correct version of upower is 0.9.21.

I tried playing music with the Music app and it worked perfectly for me.

Thank you for you help and support, it really means a lot to me!
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] lilstevie:
I'm guessing something got messed up in my filesystem, reinstalled a fresh image and updated to latest and sound is working fine, as is unplugging. Must have had something left over from trying to make upower my friend rather than enemy.

As for the sound, no idea why it was not working before but is working now. When I tried out sound initially I got a lot of spew about not having a pulseaudio alsa profile.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] mamenyaka:
That happens a lot and sadly a fresh install is all you can do. Just remove /data/ubuntu before flashing (if you don't wipe).

If you want, you could check if video playback is working or not. You just need to select the first video on the Videos page and it should open up the MediaPlayer app. You could also try playing your own videos after you opened the player.

As I hoped, today's image, 08-17, now contains the udev rules file which we had to copy manually. Well, not anymore!
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] mamenyaka:
I have good news. As I finally fixed the need to load the WiFi driver manually (thanks to w-flo), unflipped will be no longer available.

From now on we have flipped only, and can be automatically installed.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] FiDra:
Hi mamenyaka,

I'm installing Ubuntu touch on my tablet Z now. But first, can you please show me what the 'Flipped' means?

Thank you so much!
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] lilstevie:
Does this require the latest system image, or just the latest updates applied by apt?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] mamenyaka:
You need the new device image I am uploading right now.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] mamenyaka:
Flipped vs Unflipped:

And one thing I need to mention: until ubuntu updates their current image, you need to download a build later than 0816, so 0817 is the first good image that works automatically.

Get it from here: Ubuntu image
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] FiDra:
Thank you, I'm installing it now. Will report soon :)

UPDATE: oops, recovery did not recognize my external sd card. How can I push the file to internal sd in recovery? I used sideload but adb in windows just list the adb command, it seems there is no adb sideload.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] mamenyaka:
You can just use adb push X.zip /sdcard/
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] FiDra:
Thank you so much. It works.

I tried adb push x.zip /sdcard (without the last splash) and there is no thing added to the internal sd.

---------- Post added at 03:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:09 PM ----------

It's totally black now. Can I know how long does the boot take?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] mamenyaka:
You need the "/" after sdcard, because if it's not there, then it will push the zip to / (root) and rename it to sdcard. Also sdcard is a link to /data/media/.

Boot shouldn't take more than a minute. Are you using ubuntu image later then 0816? Just grab this one.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] FiDra:
OK, I got it. I'm using these:

+ FLIPPED-pollux_windy-0816.zip

+ http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch/daily-preinstalled/current/saucy-preinstalled-touch-armhf.zip

I will try again with this:

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23060877490000535

and the one you've provided.

Thank you so much :)
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] mamenyaka:
That should be the problem.

Try again with:

+ device image

+ ubuntu image
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] FiDra:
Thanks, it works now :)

The UI is nice.

Thank you for your grate support.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] mamenyaka:
I am uploading a new build for pollux (08-19) which has rild. If someone who has the device could test it and see if radio (calling) works or not, it would be very helpful.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Kalashnikitty:
I tried but my ubuntu was totally messed up. it lagged like hell with ~5fps. so i couldn't test the calling feature.. even adb wasn't working for me.

used your 8/19 version. flashed it twice with fullwipe.. but negative.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] mamenyaka:
That doesn't sounds right! Is this you first time installing? Are all my pollux builds like this? What ubuntu image are you using?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Kalashnikitty:
Fist time install. Tried only both zips from 8/19.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] mamenyaka:
Thank you very much for trying it out! Please try to provide as much information as you can about the state of things.

Maybe try to install a different ubuntu image, for me, 08-17 was working perfectly.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Kalashnikitty:
Give me some minutes. Will try 8/17 now :)

Edit2: 8/20 runnnig fine too. But no success with mobile data / calling. adb not working on all images i've tested. -> windows problem? - im to lazy to start my linux system ^_^

Edit: 8/17 runnnig w/ lags. trying 8/20 now.

---------- Post added at 01:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 PM ----------

push :P
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] mamenyaka:
That must be it then, windows problem. But if you have Wifi running, you can ssh into your device if you enable it.

Thank you for trying calling, I am not surprised it's not working. It's the most problematic part of Ubuntu Touch.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Kalashnikitty:
Wil try it next time on my linux. If you need a tester for mobile data / calling feature, just send me a pm with dl link. I'll test it for ya
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] mamenyaka:
Looks like with latest ubuntu image, everything is working!
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] mamenyaka:
You should try a newer ubuntu image which has videos on it (I tried the 0825 one last, it was good).

There are more Installed apps, just click on the little arrow and it will display all apps.

To be able to run Side apps (like Calculator), you need to open a Main app (like the Browser), so it doesn't go black (like in your video).

I would like to post your video in the OP if you'd like, but please make a new one where you speak english.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] mamenyaka:
Yes, it's in the first post. If you would like to browse all the available images, go to http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch/daily-preinstalled/
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] mamenyaka:
Tomorrow, ubuntu will switch to new alsa (sound):

But we are lucky! Our device will work without any modification.

EDIT: looks like there will be trouble after all. Please don't update to newer images (last known good image is 08-27.1)

EDIT2: issues resolved, new image will have sound! (09-03)
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] defy0815:
Hm, this project looks good!

Any ideas, where ubuntu touch is going though?

I've read up a bit before I actually try to install ubuntu on my tablet. I was a bit confused that they are already not planning to go for X support. That means, ubuntu touch will have it's complete own app eco system, right?

Sounds like a waste of time to me, since that's exactly what I was curious about: using my linux apps on a tablet.

But it somehow fits in all this X11/unity bla discussion...I guess.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] mamenyaka:
They are switching from X to Mir, and that's for everything, not just Ubuntu Touch.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] defy0815:
Well...mostly. Kubuntu e.g. plans to stick to wayland, afaik.

But I guess ubuntu is a dead end road for me then...
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] phillipssat:
What is about GPS ? HDMI/MHL? Bluetooth ? Infared ? SD-Card (exfat) ? Sensors ?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] mamenyaka:
Even if they work, Ubuntu Touch doesn't yet utilize them. But I think SDCard should work (never used one), and we have a bluetooth menu, will check it if it works. And well, the rotation works, so sensors work.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] mamenyaka:
Sound will work with the new ubuntu image starting 09-03! Also be sure to check the Bug Reports section.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] mamenyaka:
Guys! I just made a quick video, check it out!

I downloaded it twice directly from the op. I'm a bit concerned about it failing a device check though. I'm definitely running sgp312 which should be fine; Pollux_windy. Rooted and BL unlocked, stock 4.2.2

Please check what "getprop ro.product.device" or "getprop ro.build.product" gives you.

sgp321 is pollux...sgp311 or sgp312 is pollux windy..it sound like u could have wring device image
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] isimobile:
I tried it last night.

1. Found the following : Screen flickers a lot when keyboard is open on certain apps. One stage had to reboot to be able to continue (adb reboot)

2. Very smooth overall, ie could not see lag when using the browser & swiping on screens.

3. Sound is working but it sounded to me sound only getting it from one speaker?

4. Wifi working.

5. 3g I am not sure how to setup. But it did not look like it is working. Maybe needs to setup APN manually? How can I debug this /config?

6. Facebook & Mail app did not open.

7. Contact app did not want to save edit's.

8. Swipe Guesture's need some refinement.

9. When device went to sleep, lag on waking again. (Contradict point 2?) took a while to wake.

10. Going back from one screen to another seemed a bit meh.

11.Some of the screens only half of the screen, contact app?

Used Ubuntu build: 28 September 2013, pollux build (device) of 18th of September

Overall the basics are there but a lot of polish is steel needed.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] mamenyaka:
Thank you for the great review!

In 11) are you mentioning side apps? Some apps only use half of the screen to enable multitasking. You can change an app to be "fullscreen" if you want to.

Also, more or less of the above problems will be fixed (hopefully) by 14.04, when Ubuntu Touch is released for tablets.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] iggut:
Just tried the latest build.

For now it was not stable enough to even play around with. Mainly due to freezing randomly in anything I tried. I will keep playing around with dailies and update.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] gulfu:
will give it a try today
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] mamenyaka:
Huge update coming up! We now have apparmor, so we can run click apps (Facebook, Twitter, but soon everything in Ubuntu Touch will be a click app)
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] r1ntse:
I've tried installing this, but i get an status 7 error in my cwm. Do you think its a good plan to remove the asserts and then flash it anyway on my SGP311 pollux_windy?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] mamenyaka:
Please flash boot.img first to have proper recovery (cwm) to install Ubuntu Touch.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] r1ntse:
Wow, i didnt even think of that, thanks.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] r1ntse:
I have a few problems: The power button doesn't seem to do anything in Ubuntu. So every time the tablet goes into sleeping mode i have to completely reboot it with power button + vol up. Also, the keyboard always shows up on the left side of the screen, as if it is in portrait mode even though it's not...
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] mamenyaka:
Thank you for testing!

I think they know about the problems, but it has low priority ATM.

The keyboard only acts portrait in side stage apps, so you can still use the browser normally.

I really hope they fix these problems soon after 13.10 release.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] mamenyaka:
Today begins the journey towards Ubuntu Touch 14.04 (Trusty Tahr). Let us all hope that from now on they focus on improving the tablet version!
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] r1ntse:
I sure hope so

I think the next big step is going to be MIR, not touch.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] mamenyaka:
Ubuntu Touch is already using MIR, not X.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] hackint0sh:
Hey,

so are there any news for the newest version of ubuntu touch yet?

and what about flashing this one on an sgp 321, would this work or is there any difference beside the lte / sim thing ?

I'm on the official rom yet, can I just flash this over or do I have to have a cm 10.1/2 based rom preinstalled? what about kernels etc.?

Greetz from Germany
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] mamenyaka:
Well, I tried out the latest Ubuntu Touch image on my Nexus phone, but it's not looking good, random reboots, system freezing, etc. And that's an official "port", so I guess we should be thankful that our tablet didn't explode while running it.

There is a pollux version for the sgp 321, but since I have pollux_windy, idk what's working and what's not working.

If you have the stock ROM, you need to flash boot.img to have recovery, then you can do a full system backup, wipe and just simply install the two zips. If you want to revert, just wipe and restore your backup, then flash the stock boot.img back or install only the kernel.sin from a stock .tft file.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Vendetto:
hello

ive flashed the latest version and i can say its not worth flashing it nothing seems to work it was an horrible experience for me. Everything is so laggy and buggy thats never a beta, its still in very far away from alpha. I have tested on sgp321 pollux.

The keyboard is a mess, when i start the browser and i enter the prompt and keyboard pops up the screen starts flickering and you cant see anything if you dont close the keyboard. If the screen turns off because you are away like 2 minutes then you cant turn it on by pressing the power button there is no reaction.

sorry for my english.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] mamenyaka:
New build up, apparmor files finally merged into ubuntu image, so click apps should work now.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Vendetto:
Hello

there must be some bug with the recovery in the pollux.zip device image. After i extracted the boot.img from the latest pollux.zip and flashed it the recvery doesnt boot up it stays at the sony logo, i think its a boot loop. I flashed the older boot.img and recovery works with no problem so i think thee is something wrong with the latest boot.img.

Do the builds get tested before release ?.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Trevor Chuah:
Author do not own a pollux himself, he has pollux_windy only. Therefore "tester" is required and let him know the bugs.

Don't blame him.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] ZakMcRofl:
I tried installing Ubuntu Touch on a Xperia Tablet Z Wifi. I could not

get it to work:

When I flash the boot.img from pollux_windy.zip and reboot (fastboot

flash boot boot.img; fastboot reboot) the tablet hangs showing only "SONY".

I then flashed CWM from the newest CyanogenMod and wiped everything.

After reflashing the "ubuntu"-boot.img "adb shell" at least shows a

ubuntu-busybox while the tablet still hangs at "SONY".

I tried sideloading the pollux_windy.zip and the

trusty-preinstalled-touch-armhf.zip as autodeploy.zip (not at the same

time, of course) and reboot but nothing happened.

If I use CWM to flash these files, the device still hangs at "SONY" but

"adb shell" gets me a "root@ubuntu-phablet"-shell -- which is an

improvement but not what I was looking for, I want a GUI

I have had success in reflashing the stock using Emma, so I think that I

can be pretty sure that the bootloader is unlocked.

Am I missing a step? Am I doing something wrong?

Regards,

ZakMcRofl
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] mamenyaka:
This is really odd. If you get to as far as having an adb shell, then it means the device image is ok. Maybe they changed something with the ubuntu image, I will check it out as soon as I can. Until then, could you check the logcat and dmesg for me? Thank you for all the trouble!

EDIT:

I tried with newest 20131207 Ubuntu image, everything works great! I updated the OP with a few extra details on how to install and I will upload a new device image.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] ZakMcRofl:
Using the pollux_windy.zip dated 07-Dec, I succeeded in installing Ubuntu on the device. So I guess the old version was somehow broken.

But it is very hard / impossible to use, for example the terminal only opens on half the screen and the keyboard is barely working.

Is there a recommended build (I used the latest nightly).

Thank you,

Regards
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] mamenyaka:
Thank you for trying it out! Sadly, this is the latest and greatest, so recommended build is always the latest. I really hope they will fix the keyboard issue.

The terminal (and other apps too) only open in the so called Side Stage (multitasking), but you can make them start in fullscreen if you edit usr/share/click/preinstalled/com.ubuntu.terminal/0.5.29/ubuntu-terminal-app.desktop

change

X-Ubuntu-StageHint=SideStage

to

X-Ubuntu-StageHint=MainStage
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] ZakMcRofl:
Thanks, your help and work is very appreciated. Would you agree that this is a very rough alpha at best? I cannot even register or login to a Ubuntu One account, whenever I start tying it jumps back into Account Adding mode.

Also if I open 4 apps, go to the Recent Apps view, hold one of them, an X pops up on all four of them for closing it, but I can only click the first one and then it crashes.

I think I severely misjudged the state this project is it. Would you mind posting on the first post under "Not working" "A lot of small things, the operating system is barely operable for now".

I can make a video if it would actually help you but it is hard to tell if these are Ubuntu Touch bugs or migration bugs.

Also is it normal that I can only launch Ubuntu Touch once and after the next reboot hanging at the Sony logo (reflashed twice now with similar results).
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] mamenyaka:
Thank you for taking your time to review Ubuntu Touch, but I think you are a bit too harsh. I know it has it's flaws, but for me it works quite well. This project is about porting Ubuntu Touch, not about making it an usable operating system (this is subjective), so I am more worried about if you report that WiFi is not working, or the touchscreen is not responsive, or if the audio is not working.

Things are constantly changing (I will push out a new update soon) and they might fix and break some things at the smae time. So I am really sorry that it crashes for you and you can't sign in to your Ubuntu One account, but this is to be expected. It's up to the guys at Ubuntu to fix all the issues and as I said, things change constantly, so tomorrow's build might be more stable.

About the alpha-beta issue: it's a beta because most things work (and by things I mean screen, adb, WiFi, sound, click apps - you can install and run them,not judging their quality)
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] mars83:
I was wondering if anyone tried it with XTZ which has LTE radio. Does it work? From what I can see Ubuntu here can work as daily ROM ;)
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] zeus2602:
Then your blind :eek:

Far away from daily use. YET.

But when they push their first Phone on the market, then they improve very fast. I hope.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] mars83:
From what I see most of things works quite well :P Of course it's not perfect but there is no support from Sony + not many people are developing Ubuntu so for me it's quite alright :P
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] zeus2602:
That`s the problem, most people don`t understand the meaning of alpha and beta releases. So they test it, get disappointed, and never give Ubuntu touch another try.

So it is important to say: Today it is still not for daily use. Especially when you think you get nearly the same functionality like android.
