Any update on the backlight issue? Its the only thing stopping me replacing Android.

Also, I'm not sure about you guys, but apt-get update/upgrade/dist-upgrade fails. Says it can't lock or find something.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Brom2:
Maybe you need sudo in front of it to get root :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] 2390:
Yeah, you have to put sudo in front on regular Ubuntu

I was testing the latest build today and i love it. But i have some minor (or major) bugs, my files dont show up in the latest build (204)

So i only see the music in the market. Is there a fix for it or am i doing something wrong?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] MidnightDevil:
Tried again today using utopic proposed. Calls okay, sound as well, I'm enjoying as it improves, thanks a lot :)

What channels are you guys using? I'm guessing devel proposed and utopic proposed are pretty much alike since the version is the same?

Someone care to shed some light? :)

Ubuntu still can't detect my sd and files
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] karlis1989:
EDIT: resolved problems with failing to install, just had to keep redownloading files that failed verification until they passed.

However, it seems a lot of applications refuse to use Wi-Fi (they keep saying no network connection available) while they gladly chug up my mobile data...

Can it be installed on a flash drive and use an OTG cable to boot? :confused:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] helioXverse:
I'm having an issue with my Sim card being detected. I've tried literally every install/branch on multirom. On each one I have installed, booted up for the first time. During the set up it always says no Sim detected, I continue through w WiFi. Once booted no Sim options show up in settings, i.e. cellular. I pop the Sim out and reinsert it and restart the device, still no good.

I'm not sure what else to try and do, as in android/any other ROM installed the Sim picks up automatically. I have newest multirom w all updates, and my network is att, w KTU84P modem.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] zakkyzombie:
Anyone have a download link? The webpage in the OP is giving me a 404

Never mind. I saw the ubuntu option to download in the multirom app
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] alahkel:
I cant download utouch anymore via the multirom manager app, it says "unable to download and parse metadata" ????

EDIT nvm working back again xD

SIM issues

I am having the same issue as above, ubuntu touch will not recognize my SIM, even though I have no problems on any other roms.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] reas0n:
Guys, does Ubuntu use AOSP kernel or CAF? I saw in this thread that some people were flashing ElementalX, Franco (AOSP) and Chaos (CAF), both just CAN'T work the same, so I have to ask.

Well, I'm feeling it'll use AOSP base, but I still want to be sure.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] es0tericcha0s:
Not having any luck here. Have the newest TWRP Multirom recovery and set up. Downloaded both files and everything seemed to flash fine, but stuck on the Google screen. I was patient and let it sit there for 10+ minutes. Pretty sure at this point it's broken. Not complaining, just curious as if there is any way to troubleshoot?

Edit: Sorry, I checked and realized there is another Multirom update. I was on 21a. Didn't know that 22 dropped right afterwards. Going to retry with that. Probably the deal breaker, I'd imagine.

Edit 2: Yep, that was it. Make sure you are on the newest Multirom update or you aren't going anywhere. :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nello92:
Actually there's a bug in the keyboard...if a "slide-from-bottom" menu is UNDER the keyboard, it acts like it's OVER it...so when you press the lower part of the keyboard maybe u can accidentally press the back button.

SOLUTION 1: pull down the bottom-menu before the keyboard appears

SOLUTION 2: connect to your wifi using the status bar pulldown when on unity home :)

You got it :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] casonswag:
Which zip is which cause both zips are the same size?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sofakingwhat:
Try the download links again, when I first tried them they were both the same file but it's been fixed now.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] casonswag:
Nvm i downloaded the wrong one i got it now
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] logikism:
I used pulldown.

What is unity home?

I will look into working around the keyboard bug.

Is there a way to screenshot? For better error reporting.

Also why isn't my WiFi password remembered?

And I have 4g service, why does ut only see 3g?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] mojolive:
can someone post another link to download.. ubuntu.. the link in theOP is not working:(
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nello92:
Unity is the default launcher in ubuntu...screenshots are not working maybe cause the graphic problems...my password is remembered dunno why your isn't...This is not a final ROM...this is the

1st build

of Ubuntu based on 4.4.2...none of the supported devices got 4g so they maybe haven't implemented it yet...

Sir you maybe have better to switch back to Android...this is a test ROM and i cannot waste time searching why a password isn't saved when we haven't all the hardware and apps working :/ i need to set priority works sorry...and that's not a high priority work

the links are working...my drive is up...please do not mirror cause i want to track the download number...as long as Google servers are up and running there will be a download link that works
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] mojolive:
of course I would not mirror.. I had some troub le with chrome.. would not load the elink. now with FF. it is OK. thanks
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] maamdroid:
Thanks for posting this. Glad to try it out.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Gormsen:
I'm still getting stuck at Google Logo even though I have the newest Multirom. I double checked by trying to flash v.22 again, but was unsuccesful due to already having the newest version.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] logikism:
Well that was quite rude!

I'm well aware of the alpha stage of this rom! I just had some questions, I figured I'd just ask.

No need to be like that!

Good luck with your port......
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nello92:
sorry for being a rude boy :) i'm not...i'm just pointing this on the right direction from the start ;)

i found a fix for the sound and the brightness...i need only the sources of this build ^^ help me find it out :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] logikism:
Ok :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sam razzy:
Till I get to my office can anyone pls tell me what is working and what is not working ?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nello92:
Smoothness everywhere :) wifi BT and data/calls working...sms working...no audio (in and out...i got a fix but i haven't got sources :( ) brightness control not working...maybe i can fix this without sources...adb working...rotation working...no 4G...no location settings...most apps crashing (maybe not 4.4.2/14.04 compatible yet)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] aeppacher:
What do you mean by no sources? Was the original developer of the listed files a canonical employee or what? Sorry I am a little confused about how this dev is centered and the OP isn't too clear.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nello92:
yes ricardo salveti is...he released the image in the mailing list of the ubuntu touch project...i fixed something (things that i can do on the package itself) but fo major fixes i need sources...that are not public yet :(
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] logikism:
He won't give it to you?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nello92:
i think he isn't replying to me cause he CAN'T give them to me...you know...not yet

Maybe a public release will be up soon...waiting that i'll try to fix all the fixable things :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] logikism:
Awe man, Its understandable though. Are you solo or is there any team beside this port? Either way, I hope it goes smoother than normal for you.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] BigD18t:
Is there a specific Kernel need to boot Ubuntu ? done as follows in the OP and never get past the google logo.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nello92:
i'm solo...got some dev friends but no team...and...i not ported this...i repeat...i only fixed something...i don't want to take credits for the port :)

i personally use Franco kernel...but i think every multirom compatible kernel will work
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] logikism:
I also use the latest Franco. I stuck at Google screen and flashed Franco kernel in twrp normally and it takes about 40 seconds to boot.

I think latest chaos works too
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] BigD18t:
Cheers will try the latest Franco.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Gormsen:
I got it to boot. If you find yourself stuck at Google logo, try turning the screen on and off a couple of times. It worked for me.

I guess it's only the screen that's stuck, since the OS itself is booted and the power button turns of the screen and back on, when pushed.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] BigD18t:
Flashed Chaos kernel in the end, re flashed Ubuntu and it booted really quickly, good start on it, hopefully sources will be available to make it more stable.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nello92:
Bad News Everyone!

We found the device tree and the sources for the kernel...but we have not enough data to build a new image :/

We have to wait the official sources to came out :(
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] defrt:
Not any chance? :(

House Hesenli
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nello92:

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] tangosierra_:
I'm on franco r32 and I can't get it to boot either, the phone has been sitting at google logo for like 7 minutes. Pressing the power button does nothing and my phone doesn't get detected by adb. And yes I have latest multirom and recovery
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ainen:
I had to turn my screen on and off multiple times before it actually came up.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] MnRAZB:
Are you on the latest multirom? V22. I got it up and booting with franco. Your not missing much it is like pre-alpha with what you can do.

Edit: didn't see you had latest multirom. What version of Franco are you on

Edit: okay Franco 32. Apparently I can't read this morning. I got mine to boot first try. Not too sure fellas

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] cubskru:
Time to first boot?

Can someone give me a rough estimate on how long it should take for first boot. Mine gets stuck at the google logo for a while (latest multi rom w/ franco r32). Is it supposed to stay at the google logo for a couple minutes?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] MnRAZB:
Mine booted fairly quick <2 mins

---------- Post added at 03:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:25 AM ----------

Yeah but let's be realistic. Its literally the FIRST Ubuntu build for the n5. And the OP isn't getting any love from the devs of the build. Still pretty cool
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ggreenwood334:
I was put my phone down expecting a long boot time and it booted right up first time. I'm liking it for what it is.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] abtekk:
GOOD NEWS!

Ricardo said he's hopefully pushing the 4.4.2 sources today. That means OP can apply his sound fix.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] defrt:
Yehuuuuu :)

House Hesenli
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nello92:
where have you found this info? Please link it to me :)

Btw seems that Alan Pope (Engineering Manager at Canonical Ltd.) is confirming that
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] abtekk:
I can't link it to you, I asked Ricardo on IRC.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nello92:
ok no problem :) thank you anyway for the great news :D
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] abtekk:
No problem. I'm not sure what your sound fix entailed but on the ubuntu touch wiki there is a section about fixing audio for new devices.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nello92:
exactly :) just waiting sources to try some fixes...but canonical dev's are great...i bet they've already fixed so many thing :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] abtekk:
I thought you'd be able to apply the wiki fix without source access, but never mind. I'm sure they have fixed a lot, they weren't going to release the 4.4 base until it was considered "stable". If it's stable now, I'll be smiling for the rest of the week.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nello92:
no i can't...i had already seen that page and i'm pretty sure that i need to do that fix during the build :(

I think that if they release sources that will not be stable yet...BUT community can help to make them stable in less time they would if they don't releasing them
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] d3sm0nd:
Wait, since when is Ubuntu Touch based on Android? Will this mean that we will be able to run Android apps on Ubuntu Touch? Didn't know that...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nello92:
it needs android to run the "driver" part of the software...cause hardware libs are not open source and to make ubuntu boot on our devices it needs that libs...no android apps support is planned afaik
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] abtekk:
No, it will never run Android apps. It just uses the proprietary parts of Android to bootstrap. That's all.

I didn't realise that the driver wasn't loading.

I'm having trouble getting Ubuntu Touch to boot. Like some previous users in this thread, I'm just stuck on the Google boot screen, but for me, turning the screen on and off a few times has not worked. I even flashed Chaos kernel but that didn't help either. I'm using the latest MultiROM (v22) and recovery.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] abimael08:
I'm using Franco's latest kernel and it boots with no issues and my battery life is stupid crazy. Try flashing that. I've booted Ubuntu Touch, my Purity set up and Firefox OS (which is fairly appealing to the eye once it gets stable, could be something worth looking at if you want something new) with no issues.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] aakbari1024:
I tried it with Franco too, which I had before I flashed Chaos (For some reason, I'm getting far better battery life with Chaos than with Franco though).
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] abimael08:

pretty much every other app

Doing this gets me stuck on the console-setup, so I can't finish the upgrade.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] aeppacher:
Should I be doing this on my PC while the device is connected? That's what I assume you mean. Also I am assuming this requires a linux based desktop environment?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Web_E:
It is running via adb shell. Repo is being added in the shell i.e. the phone. So I don't think it requires ubuntu based computer.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] 4I-I:

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] benwalburn:
I ran the dist upgrade through adb shell and now my phone won't boot. Any ideas anyone? I've tried holding power and power+ volume up.

UPDATE:

I got it to boot into bootloader eventually and had to reflash my main rom and multiboot. Unfortunately I can't boot Ubuntu touch now for some strange reason.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] newbieandroid:
Trying to figure out what I am doing wrong, every time I boot to the Ubuntu rom I reach the Google boot screen and I can turn the screen off and on but it doesn't do anything else. It's just sits at the Google screen

I am running stock 4.4.2 + root

Flashed Franco's Kernel and it worked
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] abimael08:
You guys must not be doing something right, I was able to get Ubuntu Touch running on the first install, even after flashing 2 other ROMS before hand. Try to go back and retrace the steps, make sure you have the right zip files and are going through the installation the correct way. Message me if you have any questions, Ill try to post a video on Youtube for those of you who are more visual, and maybe that will help others.
