Native Linux On Galaxy Tab 2

​

What do you need:

- Micro SD card (at least 2Gb)

- Computer running Linux (to setup the sdcard)

- Otg cable + hub + keyboard and mouse (no touchscreen support(yet))

- Galaxy Tab 2 GT-P31xx!

Installation:

1. Download the neeeded files(cant post links,sorry):

Rootfs "releases.linaro .org/13.08 /ubuntu/raring-images/alip/ linaro-raring-alip-20130826-474.tar.gz"

Kernel + modules "koti.mbnet .fi/racer123/ubuntu.tar.gz"

2. Format your Micro SD as ext4.

3. Extract both archives to the root of your Micro SD.

4. Insert the SD card to your tab, boot to recovery and install "ubuntukernel.zip" from the SD.

5. Reboot. You should see the Galaxy Tab logo and then black screen with just the backlight on.

6. To go to the GUI, press CTRL+ALT+F1 on your keyboard and then CTRL+ALT+F7

7. To bring up the wifi, run "sudo modprobe dhd firmware_path=/lib/firmware/bcmdhd_sta.bin nvram_path=/lib/firmware/nvram_net.txt"

8. Press the thanks button!

Isn't anyone interested in running linux on this thing?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] dave5777:
I have the P5113 would it work on mine?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] njstein:
I don't have any otg hardware, so that's why I haven't tested it. But as soon as the touch screen issue is fixed I'll run that bad boy for a test!

---------- Post added at 11:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:45 AM ----------

And I also have the 5113.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] evilracer123:
The resoluution is probably wrong fot P5113 but otherwise it should work. But without otg Linux is much useless.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] dave5777:
I have a otg
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Adi Shakthi:
This is great looking.....

Any clue did mobile network works on p3100 model
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] evilracer123:
I'll probably release a kernel for p51xx tonight!
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] therossman91:
I seen videos of Ubuntu running on the tab 2 but it seemed laggy in all of the videos. Is it to laggy to worry about it with a p3 113?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] evilracer123:
Try it yourself.

Also I have been busy lately so I havent't had time to compile P51xx version. If you want it, just wait.

[Galaxy Tab 2 General] lohtse:
is it a simply reboot back to android or reflash?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] evilracer123:
Reflash, but you cat flash it to recovery partition if you want = dual boot.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] RaNd.gr:
About dual boot, following the instructions from here -> http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=41583865&postcount=3

i just install ubuntu on second recovery, right ? If so, do i have to flash blackhawk kernel again, as the 1st guide says or not ?

Btw it would be nice if we could have Centos or Mint as distro options :)
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] DianAleksandrov:

Not working on my gt-P5110 (omap4430 version), I dont know if it comes from the rootFS or something else... I'll wait for the 51xx version, it boot, do something and restart
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Mohammad Shahebaz:
yes...
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] AdamT6:
This is something I would be interested in digging into and seeing if I can get it to work with Arch Linux ARM (http://archlinuxarm.org/) instead of Ubuntu but like others here I do not have the USB OTG cable or the hub so it will have to wait for now. Awesome work though!
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] LGOPs82ndAbn:
I have long been waiting for Ubuntu/Linux for my Gtab, but as of current I am lacking in the otg. But :good: to see progress being made!!
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] DianAleksandrov:
I have an OTG and I am aviable for testing on my p5110
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] ashishj:
Thank you for bringing native linux to GTab 2 :) I will be testing this build today
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] ashishj:
I followed your steps, but the tab goes into a bootloop. I did press the key combination ctrl+alt+F1/F7 after the galaxy tab 2 logo, but that does not bring up the GUI. Please advice...
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] evilracer123:
What model do you have
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] ashishj:
Galaxy Tab 2 P-3100
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] RaNd.gr:
Same here, if you manage to boot the device, let me know :)
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] evilracer123:
This is meant for P3110, but if you want you can try to extract the boot.img from the zip and flash it using heimdall.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Christopher Wahyu:
Hi, so this is my first post. I have P3100 too, but I have same problem too. Is there a way to figure it out?

Sorry for my english thx
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Christopher Wahyu:
Hi evilracer123 could you compile for P3100 ? OR am i need modify the boot.img ?

sorry for my english.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] evilracer123:
No, I have no time and interest in this anymore.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] CoverTail:
Hi,

Can you upload somewhere the kernel_config and specify the version so we can work on it? thanks
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Christopher Wahyu:
Is there someone continue this development, because no one continue this development. update : I tried to modified the Ubuntu.tar.gz file but I failed :(
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Christopher Wahyu:
I hope works on my device, seems interesting:fingers-crossed:

Edit : link is down can any one who already has the file please reupload it.?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] gabika1941:
Anyone? please reupload this file, I would really appreciate it. It would be so cool to run full desktop OS on this thing.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] gabika1941:
Okay, I did some "progress" here. The kernel link is now working, but when I installed it, it got into a bootloop every time I powered it on. It showed the logo, and a black screen for a few seconds, then it rebooted. I do have an OTG adapter, and a keyboard and mouse, but pressing the ctrl+alt+f1 didn't do anything. It was a real pain and challenge to boot into the recovery, where I could sideload a new ROM onto the device. We should "bring this thing up", and develop it to a somewhat usable and runable level

Anyone can pm me a link please of linux or ubuntu native?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] FordNate:
A friend of mine recently had her S3 screen just go out. Well actually she was probably a little rough with it and I'm thinking its the data cable in the back just needs to be reattached. Well she ended up getting a new LG so i got her old S3 for free, but no working screen. Anyway to pull the files on there or even maybe turn on mirroring to my S4 and be able to see whats there? no sim card, memory card (8 gb lol) and not rooted, but probably a little on internal memory. she didnt know what build she was on (4.1.2 4.3 or what jellybean even was) so i would need that info as well if i can run it through odin for root. I can use adb on my laptop just am not in any way familiar with Sammy. Do any Devs need cherry stock files for anything? Just kinda need to know where to start and what to do. Thanx y'all for the time.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] spicemaster:
Moderators... Please close/delete this thread.. As listed in 2nd post, there exists already another thread describing the same issue, although self-appointed moderator there claims the question isn't worthy of any help anyway...

_-------------------------------

When LCD density is lowered 240 and below, notification drawer is inaccessible... U get to see icons of new notifications received, but when u try to pull notifications drawer down, ur screen becomes dim, as though a 50% transparent notification drawer without any border has been pulled down, but no way u can select or see any of the notifications.

Anyone know a way around this?

Quick settings on right side status bar pull down appears to be OK.

SCREENSHOTS ENCLOSED FOR DETAILS:

1. Normal View.

2. Inaccessible Notification drawer (when left side of status bar is pulled down)

3. Accessible Quick Settings (when right side of status bar is pulled down)

I tried the following LCD densities:

320 - normal density - everything is fine.

300 - fine

280 - endless systemui FC

250 - as above

240 all the way down to 160 - inaccessible as described in the beginning of this post.

I generally use my phone at half the original LCD Density - 160 for ZU, with large fonts, irrespective of the ROM loaded at the time on my phone (from the days of galaxy nexus and xperia z before ZU)

I'd noticed that 4.3 stock Sony firmware had other problems when LCD density was lowered below 220 - semcphone few other Sony apps used to crash.. But with KitKat, app Sony apps work fine even at 160, but I am only unable to access notifications... Which is nonetheless an important part of android.

I am using KitKat since November, ran every build of ever custom ROM posted here or on too.I'm since...have been waiting for Sony KitKat firmware to release for a stable environment, but 300 or 320 is the only LCD density on this firmware where everything works perfectly (as opposed to 4.3 which at least offered a use able experience all the way down to 220) which isn't an option as it does not offer me any of the advantages I am used to at near half density such as tablet ui / split view framework n such..

None of the aosp/cm based Roms produce such problems even at 160... Certain things like carbon fibers (on carbon rom ) used to fc... But for such individual elements, I could just run at a higher DPI with app settings xposed module... I can't do that here, because setting systemui or android system at 300 and everything else at 160 is totally pointless..

So if anyone knows how to fix this inaccessible notification drawer and so that I may be able to use the phone with everything working as it should at 200 or less, please reply.

Please don't tell me not to lower my LCD density - that's my choice and is the reason why XDA exists - to surpass limits, not to learn to live within limits.

i need a bug free and decent battery life touchwiz 4.3 ROm Please
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshphilips:
If you need a debloated ROM, try supreme bean. It has a very decent battery life.There are other options like hurricane, Phoenix too !
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joy854:
Try DN3. Its great. Now on Kitkat also. Splendid.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyberboob:
Nothing is 100% bug-free (even official Samsung builds).. but for the least bug-free experience... avoid KitKat roms. Some are good, no doubt, but still have more bugs than those based on official 4.3 firmware.

Good ones mentioned already... my vote are for Hurricane and Revolution HD - but always read up on each thread to see what bugs are present (to see if you can live with them).
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antique_sonic:
no 100% bug free. This is a development ROM :P

it is not a developed ROM. hahaha. Devs will always try to do their best to support.

At the other end, users must read carefully the OP and thread. Most of the times, when you read the OP properly, and its thread as well, you will closely get a bug "free".

Because most of the times, problem that you face with ROM, other ppl had experienced it before, and there's a solution inside the thread. What you need is search on the thread, read carefully, and you are good to go.

Cheers.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mohammed779:
A really stable Roms like omega and android revolution HD.

Full with features, go for phoenix.

That's my choices.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] singhpratik87:
I haven't tried other 4.3 TW ROM ever since I rooted my phone 3 months ago except the one in my signature called " Jelly kat".Flash the V3 of this ROM and also in my signature you'll find power box tool link by the same developer check it out and customize the Rom, It's better to use TWRP to flash power box tool since it's aroma based installer and philz touch 6 doesn't play too well with aroma link to latest TWRP is also in my signature.Battery life will vary from person to person since no two people use the phone same way , also there are two kernels devil and agni which you can try to maximize the battery life.

Hi I heard samsung ativ phones can be interop unlocked.

Does it mean I can edit host file to block ads and some websites?

Or is there anyone to know how to block websites?

Thanks.
[Windows Phone 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
Yes. It takes some work - there's no straightforward file editor function, so you need to use file-moving interop functions - but you can edit the HOSTS file.

I actually have an app to do so, in fact, and I should probably release it soonish.

hi all,

after updating to official ROM 4.2.2 on my samsung Tab2.7.0 i'm facing problem with connecting my BT headset (plantronics m55). BT connects but i hear strange static or distorted sounds on the both ends (ie. caller and receiver) this issue is only for phone calls.

But headset works fine for VOIP calls, Skype and listening to music and voice guided navigation.

I tried unpairing and and resetting a number of times but nothing has changed, i tried to connect another Plantronics M55 to my tab still the issue existed.

both M55 BT headset worked fine on my iPhone.

Please help to fix this.. I have made exhaustive search but couldn't find a solution.

Seems more like a problem with your carrier. Can you hear this sound without the BT also? even faintly.
