:D damn, very nice job!

only 3 bugs, very impressive :)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] krabappel2548:
Weltk, there might be more small bugs :D it's still in early stages and it isn't fast :p but if someone wants a taste of Ubuntu Touch it's here as good possible now, I'll try to fix some more little things of possible
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] petertc:
Great, hope the radio will work soon.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] pjgowtham:
Congrats for gettin it working up. Lukin for great builds from you.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] chiikko561:
Very nice
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] rohit25:
oh man.... can believe it.... the Awesome Ubuntu Touch..... just need the Radio to be working and i am Sold....
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] iKillCypher:
did you just walk me over ?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] krabappel2548:
I got help from mamenyaka and he told me he would only help if I adder the device officially to Ubuntu page and did the project under my name.

I heard you and him had some discussion and fight about Ubuntu Touch etc..
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] iKillCypher:
sure we did had some fights and overall he did help me too... just because I had exams and did not had time to work on it that does not means I should not any credits for creating the first version of the port... it is very low that I get seen as nothing when I spent sleepless nights trying to figure out and running around for help..
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] shoey63:
I don't care who starts or finishes the project. I will thank, and donate to ANYONE who gets it working as a daily driver. :thumbup:
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Jackson5:
Can somebody tell me if its necessary to have an unlocked bootloader?

Probably a stupid question... sorry.

Thanks in advance!
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] ckyy:
Of course it is. Everything in this section requires an unlocked bootloader.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] pjgowtham:
But the community needs the help of all devs. Why dont you work together. Or may be individual builds.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] krabappel2548:
I'm not going to comment on this anymore here. I don't wanna start a fight or whatever about something not worth fighting about.

I'll think about it.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Jackson5:
I'm not,allowed to unlock my boot loader, so.....

Thanks vor your reply!
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] rohit25:
just waiting for Radio to work... then BEER on the house for my FAV DEV.....
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] iKillCypher:
it would nice if I can get some credits too..
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] pjgowtham:
Hey cmon bro. Success lies on when you can really get the rom working on xz. U have my support. I support ur work too. Good work.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] kamalmawa:
Did he use your source? If he did then he should give you some credits for it. I think it's a XDA rule regarding using other peoples work. I did see his comments on your thread but not sure if he actually used your source from github or built from the scratch.

Anyways I hope you two can work together on this project and give us users the ultimate Ubuntu Touch experience. Thanks for all your hard work
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] iKillCypher:
Im actually taking a look at the radio too I think I may found the issue on what is causing it but I dont have time to debug it :D I will look at it after work sorry..
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] bbeanss:
Hey krabappel2548/xZain69

My Xperia Z has just been collecting dust since I got my I9300 back from repairs (at long last!) so I'm more than willing to test any dangerous/alpha builds, I've got phone insurance and a real bad case of flashoholism so if you need me just drop me a PM!

edit:

I've just installed the latest update and all I can say is that it's pretty smooth! there are a few niggles/bugs though:

Settings:

I can't select the following in settings:

Wi-Fi

Flight Mode

Rotation Lock

Bluetooth

In Background settings I can't select the option to change any Backgrounds

In the Reset Phone section, once selecting a reset option, the option to confirm my choice is unresponsive

In the brightness settings, adjusting the brightness has little/no effect and the slider doesn't 'slide' very well

General bugs that I've found so far:

When turning the screen off the backlight doesn't turn off for me, which is turning out to be a huge drain on the battery

When going into an app sometimes it only displays on half of the screen with a line down the middle of the screen, I know this is so you can switch between apps, but even when I don't have any other apps open it will do this and I can't figure out a way to get it to display on the whole screen (maybe just me?)

[*]The camera app so far has opened every time for me (although very, very slowly) but it does sometimes have trouble focusing properly

Selecting any of the tracks in the music section of the home screen does nothing

I don't think the Internal or External SD Cards are being recognised, or it may again just be me not knowing how to navigate the phone properly

I can't find a way of importing the music I have on my External SD Card to the music player, it keeps asking me to import music, but there doesn't seem to be any option that I can see to do so

The notification LED isn't working at all

Update 13/09/13

Device doesn't always boot up, it just gets stuck at the FreeXperia bootlogo 4/10 times that you try to boot the phone up

For me the camera rarely opens, it just displays a blank white screen, but when the camera app does load, itonly ever displays a blank grey screen (as shown in the demo video uploaded earlier) that I can interact with e.g. pressing an area of the screen will show the focusing circle

WiFi is incredibly unstable, 6-7 times out of ten when booting the phone up, I can't turn WiFi on, the option to turn WiFi on in the status bar disappears and at the moment I can't access WiFi options through the settings app (as stated above)

Every so often the phone freezes up and goes into a random reboot, I've noticed it happens a lot when I'm removing apps from the 'Recent Apps' section of the Home Screen

Will update as I find more!

[Xperia Z Original Android Development] mamenyaka:
Both ports use my source as base!

I made the first port with xZain69, but I was well aware of his lack of developmental skills, so that's why the Xperia Z has got a new skilled dev working on Ubuntu Touch, so please be thankful for krabappel2548, he knows what he's doing!

Hey all, the video of the Xperia Z running Ubuntu Touch will be down for a while because I've un-linked my G+ account from YouTube (can't standing the whole f*cking idea of it) I'm now in the process of re uploading it and will more than likely upload a higher quality, more in depth run through tomorrow!

I've also updated the bugs list with everything else I've found so far, will keep searching!

Don't ask for estimated time of arrival.

you can donate if you want to help them developing quicker, but anyway it will be ready as soon as they can!

[Xperia Z Original Android Development] bbeanss:
Hey all!

I know I haven't uploaded the promised more detailed and higher quality run through video of Ubuntu Touch, but I think it's better off if I wait until a (more) stable version is released, at least then you all get to see more exciting features that the previous video doesn't show, if you still want me to upload a more detailed video of the current version, then just let me know via PM or on here (preferably by PM to prevent spamming the thread out)

Cheers!

[Xperia Z Original Android Development] krabappel2548:
I'll compile a new version tomorrow probably :) let's hope some things have become a bit better :p
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] dmbardal:
I'm having issues with the WiFi and cellular network. Neither are working.

Might be extremely bad connection here in the northern Norway, but still.

And the WiFi-button doesnt work at all. When trying to click it nothing happends.

And IF this is covered somewhere, I'm sorry :p

The UI itself are actually pretty smooth!

Looking forward to a decent working version :)

Edit: The wifi worked when I dragged down the statusbar and went from there, but still cannot choose WiFi from the settings-screen.

Cellular still doesnt work.

Does someone know why cellular and speaker do not work?

Is it a driver problem because they are proprietary and not available for ubuntu?

Is there a chance, that Ubuntu Touch makes progress on C6603?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] iKillCypher:
for those interested in what is happening currently there is no way for us to fix anything as now the developers are doing most of the work on Nexus device but hang in there.. progress isnt far for our device likely by 2014 we will see something :)

[Xperia Z Original Android Development] iKillCypher:
[MENTION=4199634]tseyksuli[/MENTION] make sure you have all the adb and running successfully on your computer

if you are still confused I suggest following my thread

using your terminal from your linux Im Using Ubuntu 13.04 -> adb shell

you should get ~#

cd sdcard - > ~# cd sdcard

~# ls - > should list out everything on sdcard

now cp 70-yuga.rules /data/ubuntu/usr/lib/lxc-android-config/

clear cache

reboot see if it works..

So, apparently Ubuntu Touch officially launches today and here are the images. The Ubuntu Touch wiki page brilliantly describes the install procedure, and is an interesting read despite not being tailored for our device.

Ubuntu Touch has officially launched, are you going to continue work on it to try make it work for the XZ ?

Hello to all of you,

I have some very sad news especially for Xperia Z1 and ZU users..

But first I wanna give a lot of thanks to all of you for the great support and confidence in me throughout my development times here on XDA, I've met some wonderful people and learned a lot. I know people respect me and it's given me a great feeling of satisfaction.

I have some really difficult issues/situation to deal with in real life now, I can't keep running away from it. I'm sorry to announce to the entire community I'll stop development right now.

I don't know if and when I'll come back. I hope I can come back, but it all depends on my personal situation. Please don't sent me a lot of pm's about the issues. Thank you.

Regards to all of you,

Hi everyone,

I'm really sorry if this has been brought up before. I've been searching and I can't find anything and I'm becoming frustrated and confused and my brain is about to explode. :laugh:

SO.. any help is incredibly appreciated.

I have successfully unlocked my phone.

I have successfully installed SuperUser v3.1.3.

SU Binary v3.1.1.

My phone is the HTC Incredible 2.

When I attempt to update the binary and get root access, the following displays:

"Downloading manifest... okay!

Parsing manifest... okay!

Latest version = 3.1.1

Checking installed version = 3.1.1

Unpacking sutools... okay!

Checking current install path... /system/bin/su

Downloading new binary... okay!

Gaining root access..."

And that's where it all stops. I don't get an "okay", but instead a pop-up that reads "Activity Superuser Request (in application Superuser) is not responding". I am then given two options. Either I "Wait" or "Force Close". I wait and wait and wait and nothing succeeds. So, I have no other option but to "Force Close".

Why? What do I need to do? Please help me. Thank you.

I think it's because you have root access. If I'm not mistaken the SuperSU has the option to temporarily unroot, so that these applications can work.
