Hi, I'm codemonkey98 from the other thread discussing multiboot. I am very interested in work, so interested that I mentioned you in the /r/GalaxyS3 subreddit on Reddit. The following thread that I posted can be found below:

[d2att] [ROM] [PORT] Ubuntu Touch 14.04 trusty - for multiboot by /u/Nickolaus

I hope you do not mind me simply spreading the word about you. If you do, I will kindly delete the post.

~~~~~

That aside, may I ask how you're going to go about installing this? I do not have multiboot on my phone yet, but do I simply flash that .zip file for multiboot within my recovery and then walla?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Phil_Suz:
Hi codemonkey98, no prob for reddit.:good:

If you plan to install this rom on your main internal, even if I strongly do not recommand it, install should be working (has to be confirmed).

I don't recommand it not only because it is not fully fonctionnal but mainly because reboot process is not good at all.

Philippe,
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] codemonkey98:
I was actually going to install it on my external SD card. So was I right about the TWRP part? I can simply flash the multiboot zip from your multiboot thread within my TWRP recovery?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kalel420:
Is the any way you can add support for the MJ2 bootloader I got a unsupported bootloader error when trying to install
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Phil_Suz:
Yes, you install "d2att-twrp2.7-mb-v2.11.zip" from your actual recovery (twrp or cwm), then reboot to recovery to get twrp with multiboot.

Hum, this is CM10.1 base which check this. To fix it, you will have to modify updater-script in zip file.

open zip file (with winrar for example), extract META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script, edit it and replace for example on line 2 "I747UCDLK3" by your bootloader version. and replace this file.

[edit] will upload version 0.12 without modem version checking.

[edit2] version 0.12 is quite ready with

another function just fixed now

: camera :)

Philippe,
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] codemonkey98:
Have you been able to fix the power button? I'm honestly contemplating on making this as my stable ROM for ****s and giggles. I do have a question however, whenever I was creating a ROM in my external SD card, it took a very LONG time for it to backup. I let it sit and it never finished so I just shut it off.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DexedrineXR:
Congrats on the port. I tried it out, had to add a line in metadata and the updater script for the Canadian bootloader so that it was able to flash. It works like advertised....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Phil_Suz:
v0.12 uploaded wich fix this problem and fix camera too.

I think best way to make a clean poweroff/reboot will be to write small qml program.

Installation on external sdcard is long : ~15 minutes for rom creation and again 10-15 min for installation (on my sdcard)

If you get problem on sdcard, just try temporarly on internal sdcard ( check the video on first message ).

Philippe,
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] codemonkey98:
I was able to flash this tonight, and I must say I'm pressed how far you've gotten with this port. Obviously it's sluggish, but that's to be expected. Honestly, I'm just shocked.

~~~~~

Edit #1 If you are wanting your Google Contacts, you should be able to do this:

adb shell
sudo -u phablet -i
syncevolution --configure --sync-property "username=email@gmail.com" --sync-property "password=secret" Google_Contacts
syncevolution --sync refresh-from-server Google_Contacts addressbook

If you have 50 or more contacts you'll also have to do this:

syncevolution --sync one-way-from-server Google_Contacts addressbook

There's also an application that can be used to import Google contacts as well. This application can be found here.

Edit #2 The default password for the account Phablet is phablet if I'm not mistaken.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Phil_Suz:
Hi Dexedrine and codemonkey98, thank's to give feedbacks.:good:

Thanks also codemonkey for those tips. Concerning reponsiveness of the rom, I found it quite good in my case.

Also, I successfully fixed the very annoying problem of audio during calls (exiting from speaker and not earphone) . Now we can call in public :)

Version0.13 is coming up.

Philippe,
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] codemonkey98:
You sure you haven't had any issues with the response on this port? Because I have, but like I said, that is to be expected in ports and alpha ROMs.

Concerning the tips I gave, I was honestly trying to find a way of inserting my contacts from my GMail account onto my phone. It appears using the Terminal is the best way as for now, or you could use the application I posted about. Other than that, this ROM really has been great dude. I am surprised to see how stable it is.

~~~~~

I didn't bother testing the audio issue you had mentioned because I don't receive many calls in general. However it is great to hear that you got that resolved. I'll be sure as well to flash the update when that gets uploaded for us. :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Phil_Suz:
For sure, external roms are a bit less fast than main internal but not that much. Ubuntu touch use Mir/Libhybris for graphical acceleration so graphics are very good (very small overhead). I did not tried a lot of apps, but did not feel slow responses. Is it general slow behaviour or for specific actions ? Maybe also, your external card is perhaps a bit slow.

Version 0.13 with audio/phone fix has been uploaded and available in first post. I did it as d2lte version to let users from other d2xxx models test this on their device.

Philippe,
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] codemonkey98:
I'm about to flash this right after I get it on my device. :good:

~~~~

I actually wiped my external card as I plan on testing to see if that was the cause. I may as well do a backup of my current ROM and see how this preforms as a daily driver. As always, thanks again for dedicating yourself towards this. I feel as I'm the only person who's been commenting daily on this thread, but that shows my excitement towards this project of yours.

Well, while typing this post my download is already done. Might as well put this bad boy on my device and flash it. Quick question, with newer releases of this ROM, couldn't you just dirty flash or no?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mkfryan:
Hey awesome work, I've upgraded to a new phone and gave my daughter the s3 I flashed the other night. Man you rocked it! Good job

Making the iPhone jealous one user at a time.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kalel420:
I have run it a bit today from internal sd and the is a bit of unresponsiveness also when scrolling between things screen we go black till I tap it again by the way this is on v.12 but the only thing I can compare it to is Danks wip rom that I tried a bit which I believe was the developers build and nothing worked but the response time on it was pretty snappy. I also ran that on your multi boot v.2.1 from internal sd card. But this one works that's why your the man! Does the system and catch have have to be 80mb and 20mb or can we up them maybe that might help idk just thinking here.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] codemonkey98:
Ubuntu Touch requires the minimum of 2560MB to be used as an actual system. The system is probably at the minimum, and I'm just guessing it is probably the down right minimum for things such as rootfs. The cache is at 20mb because of in case of the max cache size. I might be wrong however, and probably am. I'd just wait until the dev replies.

You could probably increase it if you really wanted to, but it may not benefit you.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kalel420:
I did and it seems to help.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Phil_Suz:
Hi, maybe I don't have same perception/feelings about responsiveness than you. But you are surely right and agree that some apps take time to launch. If you can share some video, I could compare. If I have time this we, I can also do one and you will tell me if you get exactly same.

About cache, there is no link at all. cache partition is not used by unbuntu, that's why we create a small one, just for multiboot compatibility.

Last point, this version is still beta on ubuntu site, maybe official stable version will improve a little bit ( and fix some bugs ).

[EDIT] Forgot to mention, I removed d2lte version and added a download link for each model : http://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=13392

Philippe,
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] codemonkey98:
Was there issues with having a d2lte build of Ubuntu Touch?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] saranhai:
Looks very promising indeed, just a question, how long is first boot supposed to take?

-Saranhai
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stanguay:
For me, black screen for about 3 min. than boot.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] saranhai:
EDIT: Managed to get this thing up and running, very nice job, it's actually quite smooth and running real well. Hats off to OP!

-Saranhai
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kalel420:
I used it some last night when I got off work. When I tried to boot with charger plugged in it would not boot went back to internal rom. I unplug the charger then booted again and it came on also I was using the terminal app and it was very sluggish with the keyboard also does anybody know the root password that's just some of my feedback I have so far then I went to bed. thanks to the OP
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] codemonkey98:
Please look at the post I made in this thread. I tell you the root password.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Phil_Suz:
d2lte seemed to work only on our device (d2att) for cell gsm/data. That's why I build specific version for each devices.

It seems that it solved cell problems but v0.13 introduce one issue (no audio during phone calls).

Here is a patch to fix this issue : http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407584604

Important

: When installing the patch, dont't forget to do "multiboot" -> "set rom" -> "your unbuntu rom" before installing patch.

Philippe,
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] codemonkey98:
That's weird how you built a ROM for d2lte, yet the data doesn't work properly.

~~~~

I have had the most recent build of Ubuntu Touch that you ported. Unfortunately I was unable to actually install it without an Android OS on my phone. I had some high expectations running this as my daily driver, but there's some issues that still sort of bug me. One would be the battery being stuck at the 0% while charging. Another issue that has seemed to not work is the actual brightness settings either. Other than that this ROM has been perfect for me so far. By chance, will be seeing an update possibly this week? If not then I completely understand.

Thanks again for cherishing the community with your feedback. I may PM you about something soon in regards towards your thread.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] underscorenorm:
So I flashed d2att-twrp2.7-mb-v2.0.zip, followed the video and created the rom, took about 5 mins on my external SD. Flashed trusty-preinstalled-touch-d2att-v0.13.zip, again 5 mins or so. A bit longer than rom creation. Booted to ROM and now I'm sitting at a black screen. Should I have to wait longer than 15 minutes or is it safe to say I'm having an issue?

Edit: When I plug my phone into my computer, windows detects "Android ADB Interface" So the device is still functioning, I just have no display.

2nd Edit: I am using an SGH-i747 with a 16 gig SD card on Tmobile.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] codemonkey98:
People have been having issues installing it on the external. It could be possible it was never fully installed. Typically, the external install is a bit of a longer process. May I ask, have you tried installing it internally?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Phil_Suz:
Hi codemonkey98. It is not so easy to fix these 2 points and, with work during week, I don't have a lot of time. About the battery, it seems to append only when plugged in. If you unplug you can get the real value. Also when plugged in, the battery seems to be charging despite this 0%. For the second point, I don't know why the slider does not work. I have to dive into ubuntu code...

Manually, I can change brightness in 2 ways ( from sys and from ubuntu/powerd ) so we could also write a program for a fallback solution...

Maybe a question in ubuntu dev chat/forum could be efficient also.

Hi underscorenorm, are you sure you flashed "d2att-twrp2.7-mb-v2.0.zip" ? you will need at least v2.11 of multi boot to be able to start ubuntu. If you have tmobile device, please install this one : http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407583332
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] codemonkey98:
I may consider that. Honestly, let your personal life come first than this. I didn't mean to imply some sort of demand for you to fix those two issues of mine, in fact I am shocked we've gotten Ubuntu Touch on our devices this far.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] underscorenorm:
I have the ATT version, just carrier unlocked. v.211 worked for me and surprisingly it only took a couple of minutes on 1st boot. I didn't get to mess around too much as I got all setup around midnight. I did get it working from my external SD. It's a class 10 card, FWIW.

Edit: THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. I can't wait until this is ready for prime time. I absolutely love it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Phil_Suz:
Hi codemonkey98,

The 2 sliders for backlight are now fixed. patch here : http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407585207

Important

: When installing the patch, dont't forget to do "multiboot" -> "set rom" -> "your ubuntu rom" before installing patch.

Philippe,
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] codemonkey98:
Thanks so much for fixing this Philippe.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Phil_Suz:
Hi, here is a patch to get real status and icon during charging.

Not fully fonctionnal because fall back to 0% when fully charged but at least seems to work during charging which is most important.

( if 0% seen during charging, just unplung and replug usb and touch the screen one or two times )

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407585533

Philippe,
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Phil_Suz:
Hi all,

Just to give some news about the porting :

Bluetooth : now can be started. Icon appears on top menu bar. I cannot test it because it is only dedicated for bt headsets but I don't have one.

Gps : Interface with hardware is now OK. Command line utility (/usr/bin/test_gps) gives me good position (latitude,longitude). not working under maps app but don't know if it is already working or not on this current dev version.

qcow2 support is working now too. (this will open nice features like liveboot)

I'm leaving country for one month next friday, I don't know if I will have time to finish this and package new version before.

Philippe,
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tokenpoke:
Thanks for all the work. I'm hoping this gets good enough for daily driver. I mean, so far its fine for me other than little things like YouTube not working. GPS is a real plus.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] codemonkey98:
Best of luck towards you leaving the country. Take your time towards this by the way. :laugh:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] netomel:
I was able to install following The vídeo without a problem. Just hoping more functionality like buttons and more apps.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] codemonkey98:
Ubuntu Touch isn't designed for buttons unfortunately. Applications will come out whenever they're developed.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Phil_Suz:
Hi codemonkey98, yes that's true.

But since ~1 week, ubuntu team included volume buttons handling in their daily prebuild and this is really great.

By the way, version 0.2 is on progress and downloadable

changelog :

build on latest ubuntu touch daily prebuilds ( 2014-04-16 ) :

volumes buttons working :good:

UI changes (scopes)

small regression with charge indicator ( multiply by 3 to get real value )

added an ubuntu boot splash

fixed gps - working only with test_gps ( not working with indicator )

bluetooth now started - don't know if it can discover bt headsets

add nbd kernel support (for future qcow2 support, a new version of multiboot will be needed)

If you want to give it a try, it is here : http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407586924

Philippe,
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] codemonkey98:
You honestly don't know how much I appreciate you doing this. Seriously, you've done a lot.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] netomel:
Small question I install in The same way as previos versión?

Because I did and it does not pasa The boot screen. I wait a while and nothing happen.

Thanks you doing a great job!!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tokenpoke:
I also tried and got to boot screen and then the infamous black screen of doom. Left it plugged in for 30 minutes and called to see if maybe it was just a graphics issue but got nothing. Did show up on pc when plugged in but not recognized in either ubuntu 13.10 or winxpsp3

sgs3 t999n on metropcs/tmobile

Cannot dump any sort of logs via adb or anything. Honestly not sure if that would even work since I hadnt tried pc connection on previous build.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] underscorenorm:
Wow!

I just tried 0.2 and just wow! I signed in with my google account and all of my contacts were imported. SMS and calls worked "out of the box" This is great. This is absolutely great. :good: :good: :good:

---------- Post added at 10:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:51 AM ----------

I had a similar issue, I had to use version 2.11 of multiboot. I'm using the I747, unlocked on Tmo. Phil linked the other for the Tmo handset though.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] netomel:
I agree now after trying with version 2.12 and clearing space finally install. it looks great as Phil says just the battery indicator problem.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] codemonkey98:
is it possible to install this just as a stand-alone Android ROM?

Just tried and I get stuck at the boot screen. Any ideas on how to make this install as a primary system?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] netomel:
Just remember install as standalone Phil dotes not recomended just yet. Install as multiboot and make sure there os enough space. On my end I had to remove other roms I had as multiboot external.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] codemonkey98:
Unfortunately I end up being in a boot logo when I tried to install with multiboot and as a primary install.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] netomel:
Same thing was happening yo me. So I update TWRP to multiboot versión 2.12 and removed another rom I had install previously to clear enough space. I try installing con external SD but it tales forever and dotes not install. How was your experience as stand alone?

Mine as Multiboot it has been great. I install Google maps bit GPS dotes not Work as it should be. Made calls, sent text, browsers internet. It freezes AT times when to many apps área Open.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] codemonkey98:
Stand alone I still get stuck at a boot logo. I'm questioning why this isn't working properly for my D2ATT S3. I've installed previous versions fine however. It isn't a bad download either as I confirmed the MD5 too.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] netomel:
I stop worring about the MD5 since TWRP never checks it. For multiboot I used the latest version of 2.12, but for standalone I am not sure what is the best recovery to use. I wouldn't install as standalone yet since the power button still a little buggy.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] codemonkey98:
In general I'm unable to install it stand alone or even with multiboot..
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] netomel:
Did you use the latest recovery version. http://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=12801 try version 2.12. That fix my pronlem .
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] codemonkey98:
Yes i did and I ended still stuck in the boot logo.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cheeze6661:
I can confirm the stuck at boot logo on d2att model. :( that's tried as stand alone Rom or multiboot using the newest multiboot kernel.

Can anyone tell me how to get back on my normal ROM. The one I was using before installing.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tokenpoke:
Restore the backup you were supposed to make...

Or reboot the phone since you should have followed the instructions and installed on your external SD card as a multiboot option.

Then delete the multiboot folder.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Xami:
I couldn't install not yet Because I have 2Gb external card and what if I install on internal and how to install on internal?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tokenpoke:
Its a bad idea, lol. Lots of booting trouble on internal.

Either way, just follow the instructions in the multiboot recovery thread to create an internal ROM if you insist on trying that way.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Xami:
I have no idea how to install on either internal or external. The way of installing in video is for internal or external ?

Could you be so kindful and tell me steps on how to install on external or internal

Thanks in advance
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mebrad36711:
I believe the vid is for external, thats where I installed, remember it takes a long time to create the rom, then to install the rom, almost half hour from start to finish.

to install create new rom on external, 80mb for system, 2.5gb(2560mb) data, 20mb cache. img file only. wait 15 min for it to finish.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Phil_Suz:
Hi all,

Just came back to Canada.

When free time, I will try to produce a version compatible for primary install and improve installation process to get something more stable.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] codemonkey98:
I cannot believe you're back. Thanks dude. :good:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Xami:
so thats why it was not installing because I have only 2GB card on which it's impossible. any idea how to install on internal ?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tokenpoke:
Same steps, just select your internal SD when you create the ROM allocation.

But again, you WILL HAVE BOOTING ISSUES. I reccomend you don't waste your time since this is by no means a daily use ROM and at this point only a novelty.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] wizzdome:
Will this work on d2lte? I have no service so I cant vouch for data but I am gonna give it a try just for the experience. Thanks for the share.
