Ubuntu Touch Developer Preview for the Fascinate

// It took me a while to get it right, but here it is.

//Camera works, wireless internet works.

Haven't checked sound.

Don't know if phone or SMS works.

Need testers.

//How to install: DO A BACKUP FIRST!

Get the zip here Then get this. Go to recovery, do a wipe/factory reset.

//Flash the first zip, don't reboot yet. Go to Mounts and Storage, mount /data and then format it or it won't work.

//Then flash the second zip and reboot.

//After you reboot, don't do an apt update. It seems to bork things up for me. Using adb on your computer, type 'phablet-flash -d grouper -b' (to update to the latest).

Enjoy.

The above is the old way. Thanks to UnjustifiedDev the new build is below:

"Ubuntu touch

1. Download bootstrap http://goo.im/devs/Unjust/Fascinate/...scinatemtd.zip

2. Download preinstall http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-tou...blet-armhf.zip

yes it is 300+mb make sure you have space on your sdcard for it

3. Download layout fix http://goo.im/devs/Unjust/Fascinate/...layout_fix.zip

4. Reboot to recovery wipe data etc then flash bootstrap file first the cm-10.1 zip then reboot recovery

5. in ubuntu's purple recovery flash the saucy zip takes a while to flash make sure your battery is charged

6. Flash layout fix right after saucy zip completes then reboot

7. Note this a preview not a daily driver it is pretty cool but it lacks full features. Wifi works idk if sound works or data my phone is not in service

Source https://github.com/Ubuntu-Fascinate I did fix the layout no need for an extra zip next build "

You are the man, Unjust!!

Remember, it's just a developer preview at this point. Not much you can do with it right now.

Since the Fascinate is not my daily driver, I have no way to test 3G or SMS. Anyone want to give a try and post your results?

Thanks, Redwolves
[Fascinate Android Development] redwolves:
I will keep this updated as much as I can. I'll also put detailed instructions an my github page for anyone who wants to compile their own.

I will put up the instructions on my github page tonight. I'll link to it here when I do.

[Fascinate Android Development] bbrad:
*face palm* good job dude I was just building it was gonna be a surprise for y'all. You beat me to it lol. Nice job.
[Fascinate Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
Really cool and as far as I know cdma isnt compatible with ubuntu touch but wifi should work. Im just glad yours worked I would really like to see a patch or could you push the source you used to get it working. I tried at least 10 times no luck at all on booting.

edit nvm thanks for this
[Fascinate Android Development] ekowanz:
Is it really can't work for the cdma?
[Fascinate Android Development] bbrad:
Works fine for cdma it uses cm10.1 source so anythibg cm10.1 has it can use.

No patch needed boots and works fine for me straight from source but I like android better just lack of apps on Ubuntu. And agreed nice job
[Fascinate Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
I meant patch as in a diff file to see how he modified things
[Fascinate Android Development] bbrad:
I didnt need to modify anything.
[Fascinate Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
Im talking source code you cant just build it like a regular rom there is things you need to modify
[Fascinate Android Development] bbrad:
I didn't have to modify anything it just used the cm files. Did you follow the official port guide or some off the wall nut job guide here on xda? Maybe I'm just lucky idk. Who cares.
[Fascinate Android Development] redwolves:
I followed the porting guide. Commented out AriesParts and Samsung-something-or-other in a makefile in /devices. Patched /kernel/samsung/aries/fs/proc/array.c and /kernel/samsung/aries/arch/arm/configs. I did some other other patches to a makefile in /build. I played with it for about a month using just the phablet-armhf.zip. I had it booting for about 15 seconds after a while. I was going through logcats and trying to trace them back to any warnings thrown during compilation.

Then I found out it uses the grouper image. Voila, instant boot. I left the changes in the source, though.
[Fascinate Android Development] redwolves:
I'll put up detailed instructions and the code on my github page when I get the chance. Life has 'a life' in it, you know. ;)

Scott
[Fascinate Android Development] redwolves:
If anyone is having problems, please see if you can grab a logcat and send it to me.
[Fascinate Android Development] arqda:
for some reason wen i install the 2nd zip, i get status 7 error
[Fascinate Android Development] redwolves:
You're the second person who has said that. I can't reproduce it on my phone. I need to find a common thread.

What Baseband version are you running?

Thanks, Scott
[Fascinate Android Development] arqda:
Ill try to give u as much detai l as possible.

Baseband: i500.04.V.EH03

Tried flashing using CWM4, 6, modified6, and twrp

Using 1gb sd card (class ?) To flash
[Fascinate Android Development] redwolves:
Finally got around to detailed instructions on my github account. It's here. I'll push the code up shortly.
[Fascinate Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
I did all of that except one thing I forgot array.c also we dont need samsung service mode
[Fascinate Android Development] redwolves:
"While in /device/samsung/aries-common, edit device_base.mk. Comment out AriesParts and SamsungServiceMode under

"# Device-specific packages"."

I thought I had it in there.
[Fascinate Android Development] redwolves:
I've been using cm-10.1 nightlies to do the ./extract-files.sh. Just a little easier, to me, at least , than searching through gerrit commits. Doesn't mean it will work all the time, just trying not to reinvent the wheel.
[Fascinate Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
Any progress I want to test it when I get my phone I can compile it and test as well until we get it working two devs is better than 1
[Fascinate Android Development] redwolves:
Between work, home life and trying to fix my fence so our new puppy (a Catahoula Leapord dog) can't climb it anymore, I haven't had time. I just started a new build, but will be out in the yard for most of this day. Will probably hit it tonight and some of tomorrow.
[Fascinate Android Development] jkok:
well i couldnt get the 2nd file to work no matter what i try, i tried editing the script, moving to new zips, even mixing up how to install on different recoveries, i only got it to acually flash by mixing the two zips together in a wasted effort of a non-bootable cyanogenmod, im going to tweak it a bit untill i get this booted, this is going to be a great thing if i can get unbuntu touch to work, cause no matter how i try i always get status 0, ststus 7, and one time due to my own stupidity, status 6 lol

try to keep up the good work, and if i get a working combination i will post to this thread with full credits dont worry
[Fascinate Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
Now that I have my phone again I can work on some things I usually brick it like 10x's before my work is done :D

Im always working https://github.com/Ubuntu-Fascinate
[Fascinate Android Development] shelby04861:
I happened upon this and thought I would read up here. I haven't been able to get the ubuntu image to flash without a status 7 myself. For those of you who could get the second file to flash without any issues, what recovery are you using. That will sometimes make a difference. Kinda fun to play with my old phone again.:)
[Fascinate Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
I just got my phone fixed and the op built it wrong thats why it didnt work I fixed all of it thanks to another guy so it should boot or bootloop but it will flash I wont be able to test until I get a usb cord also the second thing you flashed is incorrect that is for another phone you guys should be flashing saucy preinstalled image its 300mb the second thing listed is the same as the first a bootstrap but its not for our phone hint status 7
[Fascinate Android Development] shelby04861:
I thought the image should have been a lot larger. Something didn't seem right. I know I already asked, but what is the recommended recovery to be using at this point. That can make a difference
[Fascinate Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
Doesnt matter I had mine booting when before I broke my phone like 2 months ago but it was looping . I just got around to fixing the ubuntu-boot.img error and thats another reason it didnt work. But our source is ready . Going to get my USB cord now :)
[Fascinate Android Development] shelby04861:
Post up the image when you get a chance so I can start downloading it to my phone. It is not my primary phone so that is okay. I really need to get my building computer back up and going. It has been a while since I did any aokp nightlies. I might have to just play for a while now again.
[Fascinate Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
Yeah I will see if I can get it booted :) wish my mom hurries up sucks not having a car or license yet LOL. She said lets go like 30 mins ago and we are still at home
[Fascinate Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
is it too good to be true :) Let me fix the dpi and I will release it
[Fascinate Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
Ubuntu touch :)

1. Download bootstrap http://goo.im/devs/Unjust/Fascinate/Ubuntu-bootstrap/cm-10.1-20130812-UNOFFICIAL-fascinatemtd.zip

2. Download preinstall http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-to.../current/saucy-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip

yes it is 300+mb make sure you have space on your sdcard for it

3. Download layout fix http://goo.im/devs/Unjust/Fascinate/Ubuntu-bootstrap/hdpi_layout_fix.zip

4. Reboot to recovery wipe data etc then flash bootstrap file first the cm-10.1 zip then reboot recovery

5. in ubuntu's purple recovery flash the saucy zip takes a while to flash make sure your battery is charged

6. Flash layout fix right after saucy zip completes then reboot :D

7. Note this a preview not a daily driver it is pretty cool but it lacks full features. Wifi works idk if sound works or data my phone is not in service

Source https://github.com/Ubuntu-Fascinate I did fix the layout no need for an extra zip next build
[Fascinate Android Development] shelby04861:
HuI will give it a run in a few. Uploading my aokp 4.3 build for the d2usc fans. Thanks

Edit. Got into recovery and wiped. Clicked to install. Got the verification to flash again. Once at that point, it started to install and then reboots back into recovery, install fails with the status errors, and then reboots into recovery again, only to try to install and fail again, and continues to boot back into recovery and fail, on its own like a boot loop.

Edit: trying a few more things as I was at least somehow able to get into the Ubuntu recovery with red wolves cm image???

Edit: within the Ubuntu recovery I was able to get them all to flash and I rebooted. I have been waiting for a bit to see if it will boot. Taking a while though so I am doubtful.

Edit: I broke the recovery boot loop/install loop and went with the saucy install. S we what happens this way.

Edit: no go still. If I use the other cm install and your saucy and hdpi fix zip I can get it to boot to a black screen and nothing more. :(
[Fascinate Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
i went from cm-10.2 no issues try from stock due to the partition changing theres no boot animation 1st boot takes like 5 mins
[Fascinate Android Development] shelby04861:
Will do. When you say stock please tell me exactly which recovery and cm10.2 you used. Would you suggest I Odin back to stock and start there getting all the way to cm10.2 and then follow your directions. Your instructions are super simple so I am not sure where I am going wrong.
[Fascinate Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
stock 2.3 cwm 4 then flash bootstrap it should reboot recovery itselff
[Fascinate Android Development] shelby04861:
Will do. Odining right now and almost booted back up. Wow. Stock 2.3! How far things have come

Stock 2.3 plus cwm4 is a no go for your first zip. Installing cm7 next and will try that next before cm9 etc

With cm7 and cwm 5x(gets updated with cm7), I get the recovery boot loop install/status error failed install. Flashing team hacksungs build 2 to bring me a little further along ml. See what happens?

No luck for some reason. Not sure what's up???? Can you try downloading your cm10.1 image and see if that flashes fine for you. I did click repartition in Odin by the way.
[Fascinate Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
give me a min running a fixed build
[Fascinate Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
Ubuntu touch working for all recoveries stock etc

1. Download bootstrap http://goo.im/devs/Unjust/Fascinate/Ubuntu-bootstrap/cm-10.1-20130812-UNOFFICIAL-fascinatemtd.zip

2. Download preinstall http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-to.../current/saucy-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip

yes it is 300+mb make sure you have space on your sdcard for it

3. Reboot to recovery wipe data etc then flash bootstrap file first the cm-10.1 zip then reboot recovery

4. in ubuntu's purple recovery wipe data flash the saucy zip takes a while to flash make sure your battery is charged

5. Note this a preview not a daily driver it is pretty cool but it lacks full features. Wifi works idk if sound works or data my phone is not in service

no layout fix all works that will

if it doesnt boot up go into ubuntu's recovery wipe data and format system then flash bootstrap then saucy :)

Getting "Not Found" on second link
[Fascinate Android Development] jkok:
hover over the link untill it renders it, for some reason when it was shortened in the parse it fails to load, wait for the bottom area of the browser (taken u are using chrome). for the link to appear longer, then it should work
[Fascinate Android Development] ConstantHero:
Thanks
[Fascinate Android Development] jkok:
np, i had the same problem, but what i said worked for me for some reason lol
[Fascinate Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
I fixed it too bdogg told me a while ago right before you guys posted
[Fascinate Android Development] shelby04861:
I had success! I officially have Ubuntu touch working on my phone now. I will have to play with KT later. Helping a friend finish his deck this afternoon.
[Fascinate Android Development] jkok:
dang. then u must have fixed it within the ten seconds i failed the first click, and succeeded the 2nd lol but anyways thanks unjust

edit: my phones activated i will let u know if data/phone/sms/mms works since the shelby04861 said theres success
[Fascinate Android Development] shelby04861:
Camera works. I could see WiFi networks and I think I connected to it but it is a little wonky and slow so I have to be patient. But heh. It is still fun to play with and see.:)
[Fascinate Android Development] contactwajeeh:
Can we get onscreen buttons on this? My fassy's capacitive buttons are borked... Please let me know...
[Fascinate Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
it doesnt work for any buttons its all gestures it is possible to enable home button I think but anyway this built for completely gestures only

quote bbelos

Some UI Gesture Tips (Since touchkeys don't do anything )

On Initial Lockscreen:

- Swipe right side to left -> goes directly to homescreen.

- Swipe left side to right -> access to quick launch, app bar thingy (bottom icon takes you to homescreen).

On Homescreen:

- Swipe down from top -> access to statusbar icon setting stuff (This is how you setup your wifi). Pull down on the icon you want to interact with.

- Swipe left side to right -> app bar.

- Swiping left or right -> switch homescreen (There are 5).

Within an App:

- Swipe up from bottom -> shows additional menu (for certain apps).

- Swipe up from bottom and hold -> reveils another settings button. release on button to use.

- Swipe left side to right -> goes back to homescreen.

- Swipe right side to left -> switches between active apps
[Fascinate Android Development] contactwajeeh:
thats great to hear, I am downloading it now. Appreciate your quick response.
[Fascinate Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
No prob working on 4.3 again

about to test current ubuntu touch preinstalled images I couldnt build the bootstrap for it :(

Going to help anyone out who wants to add extra apps which is cool playing with the terminal it works as the desktop would
[Fascinate Android Development] shelby04861:
That reminds me. I forgot to check on a build I started earlier today. Been having fun playing around with this. It will be neat to try newer images to see what else been added and working. Little things like changing the time, etc
[Fascinate Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
they dont work lol I tested them but to get a few other things working visit terminal and type sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade your password is phablet I am still trying to compile the bootstrap for the newer images with no luck its too large to pack into our boot which is sad they need to implement it in a better way but they dont care for older phones
[Fascinate Android Development] shelby04861:
Trying the updating process now. Looks like my build failed. I think I need to play with my local manifest and get that updated.
[Fascinate Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
Pastebin :p
[Fascinate Android Development] shelby04861:
Any idea what the su password is. It is not phablet for su. I just wanted to be able to reboot from terminal since I haven't figures out any power or reboot options
[Fascinate Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
type sudo reboot su I idk I googled to figure out phablet
[Fascinate Android Development] shelby04861:
It was sudo su and then just type reboot
[Fascinate Android Development] jkok:
stinks, i just got home and tested my download for unbuntu touch, and the phone is seriously cut off with no scrolling , all i have is 7,8,9, 0, and dial lol, i cant get data to work that im aware of, camera works fine, sdcards not read, wifis messed up, it does initial reading then quits, send a message option doesnt work when tapped, along with add contact, but overall cool to view.

but other then that im glad to just be able to show off a different operating software (even tho its built on android cm10.1 lol),

i already know most features wont work atm, but thats why its a "preview" build right? lol

Keep up the good work!
[Fascinate Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
Yep Im trying to get the none preview build to work note its Ubuntu touch and these builds are previews it fails to boot and idk why
[Fascinate Android Development] NuclearEMP:
any chance you can repost the layout fix. just installed and the icons are HUGE :)
[Fascinate Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
Its already fixed I installed the zip before I uploaded it. I deleted it :)
[Fascinate Android Development] NuclearEMP:
I used the last file posted and it showed up huge, not sure why

[Fascinate Android Development] shelby04861:
Updating seems to be easy enough. Found a small handfull of apps that you can install.

https://wiki.edubuntu.org/Touch/Collection
[Fascinate Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
Guess I will flash ubuntu and mess with it again
[Fascinate Android Development] shelby04861:
I have been keeping up with updating my phone nightly. They do seen to be actively working on things. I installed a handful of apps. Looks like they are slowly working on adding things here and there.
[Fascinate Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
Anything new you've figured out ? I am getting close to getting the new saucy builds to work. :D
[Fascinate Android Development] shelby04861:
Nothing new yet. Been updating and watching the little changes here and there. They take away video previews and add in more settings options. There are still a lot of "place holders."
[Fascinate Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
New builds have a lot more
[Fascinate Android Development] shelby04861:
Sweet
[Fascinate Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
The newer builds also require you to have a way to execute .sh on your PC . I know you have Linux but for others. It will modify the zip to fix a few things and permissions
[Fascinate Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
Just ported miui v5 got to fix some force closes and its good to release :) I can port anything lol

Sweet!..lol
[Fascinate Android Development] speedingcheetah:
Decided to try this....followed instructions...but phone keeps booting into the recovery with the ubuntu logo.
[Fascinate Android Development] shelby04861:
I think it has to do with the recovery you start with or something.
[Fascinate Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
Are you using instruction from the op ? If yes then follow my post on this page last post on that page

tried that....still just boots to recovery every-time....it does say on the bottom of the screen...autodeploy.zip not found....

Edit: tried again....now..al i get is Samsung logo...then black screen...i think it shuts off...and the 3 button thing wont boot into recovery....

and...now all i get is flashing samsung logo....grrr....where did i put that download mode jig...and old odin rom images....
[Fascinate Android Development] shelby04861:
You don't need the download mode jig or Odin. You can still make your way to download mode and if you can get into any recovery, you can still recover the phone. I know because I have done it plenty of times when testing this. Good luck.

---------- Post added at 12:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:22 PM ----------

By the way. Is there a more updated setup with more stuff working, or should I just keep updating what I have up and running so far? Thanks
[Fascinate Android Development] speedingcheetah:
O..and how do u do that if holding down the buttons does not boot to recovery or download.....d mode jig...quick and easy way....only me $2 on ebay anyway.
[Fascinate Android Development] shelby04861:
Oh sorry man. Not sure how you bunged it up that bad. I still have get to figure out how to hard brick mine after all these years. Usually between battery pulling and a computer I have been able to save myself from a jig, and I have been to the point where I could do nothing. Hope it snaps it out easy for you. I am booting my up right now and going to run an update to see what new stuff they have added.
[Fascinate Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
You don't need jig on these old galaxy if it doesn't go in dload mode hold vol down and use a wall charger and plug it in
[Fascinate Android Development] speedingcheetah:
that's the first time I have heard of that method....lol..it works...that would have made things easier way back when the fassy was my main device and i was a flash aholic...

A trick I learned on my old galaxy . Sometimes USB gives up but the wall charger doesn't once it gets it going the USB will work too.:p
