How can I install Steam?

When I install the steam-launcher and I run it, Ubuntu want to install some packages.

"Steam needs to install these additional packages:

libgl1-mesa-dri:i386, libgl1-mesa-glx:i386, libc6:i386

[...]"

Then I get lots of errors in the terminal and it will close automaticly. Another Error will pop up: "You are missing the following 32-bit libraries, and Steam may not run: libc.so.6"

Sorry, I'm a big noob at Android or Linux-Developement.

Is there a fix for this problem?
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bogdacutu:
you need exagear to run steam (or other i386 programs). qemu is slow and incompatible with a lot of stuff

I'm kind of confused....

So I'm a bit confused, I know that you need to unlock the boot loader but Is there anything you need to do before installing multirom. And do we install the multirom twrp first or the zip first? And are you supposed to install the .mrom file to a SD card or internal storage. Also what does it mean inject multirom from twrp? sorry if I'm asking dumb questions I don't have that much experience with rooting and installing custom roms. Thanks

install twrp

install multirom

reboot recovery

install l4tegra

inject boot sector

>does mean that the bootscreen will 'hacked' in the boot session in the kernel, ithink
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolesst1:
OK, and I thought u needed to also install the kernel and touch support?
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Giunglemax:

Before and after this ther's something more to do?

Hello,

Thanks for providing this excellent thread! I have a few questions, as I am not too familiar with Linux. I have successfully installed MultiROM and am ready to install LinuxforTegra onto my device. Here is where I'm confused. Where is the ROM I am supposed to upload to my Shield Tablet? I'm afraid I am not knowledgeable enough to compile my own, I was hoping someone here has already compiled a working LinuxforTegra ROM for the Shield Tablet that I can download and install via recovery. Or maybe explain how I can do this myself via PM? Any help or advice is welcomed, thank you!!

Bogdacutu,

Thank you! I don't know how I missed that. So I install the rom via recovery, do I also have to flash the new_boot(123).img provided in the thread?

Thank you for your fast reply!
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bogdacutu:
no, the installer includes everything you need
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolesst1:
yeah I think, I beleive u also need to flash the kernal for the android version your running and flash touch support for multirom, but I'm not sure

Hi.

I want to have kali-linux-light-2.0-armhf.img.xz.

Is there a easy way to install, cause it is already compiled?

it is only a tutorial for Note10.1

yes I forget the kernel! it is before flash twrp...

and before that, you have to unlock your bootloader
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bogdacutu:
no. if you don't want ubuntu, you're on your own
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wiQbold:
I don t mean I don t want it.

but I saw the armhf-suffix and I thought maybe there a few steps to port or use your boot.img?
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bogdacutu:
meant more like "if you want anything other than ubuntu". in any case,

it's probably possible, but no, there's no tutorial or anything like that. someone experienced can probably figure it out based on the prebuilt installer for Linux4Tegra, but there's still a fair amount of work involved, so I'm not going to support anything but Linux4Tegra myself

HW acceleration on chromium

I got ubuntu and multirom installed and everything is working great, except chromium is not hw accelerated at all.. Did anyone get hw acceleration to work on chromium to work or has any idea how to? Or maybe there is another browser that I don't know about and is already HW accelerated?

Thanks!

[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolesst1:
Did you try this and did it work? The arcticle was pretty confusing but from what I understood it was for chrome os
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bogdacutu:
haven't tried it myself, but it's very likely that it will work
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Linux4Tegra has built in hw acceleration. Chromium is lighter than Chrome, but not all is working. In my opinion, this is Chromium's fault... try other browsers and see if it's a Chromium problem.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bogdacutu:
chromium needs to be recompiled with some special flags for hw accelerated video decoding on l4t, and you can also enable gpu accelerated compositing iirc from chrome://flags to further improve performance
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolesst1:
Well I got flash player working on chromium but the browser has a lot of screen tearing..Is anyone else experience the screen tearing? Firefox is useable but flash player doesn't work and don't think its hardware accelerated either. I tried my best to understand the article Bogdactu linked but I had no idea where to start, I'm probably just going to search more on it...

---------- Post added at 07:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:34 PM ----------

On the webpage you linked is the first part for chrome os right? Is the part I need to do running built binary? Also do you experience screen tearing while using chromium?
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bogdacutu:
no, you need to do the whole build part (on a 64bit Linux PC). I haven't noticed any tearing, but I don't watch videos (or do anything complicated with the browser) on l4t
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolesst1:
Oh that makes much more sense...also I don't get tearing just by watching I get it on all pages... Like when I'm scrolling it tears. Is it possible that I need to reinstall it or reinstall l4t?
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bogdacutu:
not sure what the problem would be in your case, but I doubt reinstalling will change anything

Hmm it could be a corrupted install....well I'm getting my replacement tablet today so I'll see how it goes on that

i used a usb keyboard with an usb otg cable first then you have to search for onboard in your apps and set it to show up automatically to enter text.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Giunglemax:
Touch screen is working and i went to the settings but i didn't found a way for show the keyboard could you be please more clear. (I have an otg cable but i don't have a keyboard or mouse that i could connect)
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xlBennylx:
Ok first there is an on screen keyboard in the system settings if you go to Universal Access in the tab Typing you can activate the On Screen Keyboard. The second one which worked better for me is an app should be already installed in the Linux4Tegra R21.4. You can find this if you tap on the upper left icon (Ubuntu Icon) there you got a search bar on the top and a some tabs on the bottom select the second (A) go to Installed -> see more results and search for Onboard Settings. If it still wont show up at the lock-screen try a restart.

i hope this will help you :) greetings Benny

I have the latest kernel 5.1.1 , latest multirom with touch support, twrp, and got linux4tegra into my multirom list. Still, my tablet boots directly to android os for some reason, and I have repeatedly tried to boot into linux ubuntu without success. What am I doing wrong?

EDIT: Ok I realized that I needed to unlock my bootloader in order to be able to boot into linux and now it works!! Unfortunately, I'm not sure how to turn off the display without completely shutting down the tablet. Any ideas?

Hello I have a problem with the keyboard after I login to ubuntu, it comes out but doesn't right anything in the selected place

Thank you
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sess:
I have mostly everything set up and working correctly. Actually pretty pleased with the setup once i got onboard configured and tweaked. The only question i have now is if suspend is actually working, or if the screen is just turning off. The display will go black after blinking a few times, the backlight also blacks out. No matter how long i leave it sitting, it will turn on instantly when the screen is touched. I've tested this using the 5 minute suspend on idle in power settings, and via the power button and hitting the sleep icon.

Just wanted to thank everyone, especially surge and the other developers whom has made this device bearable. I received a shiny nexus 6 from my awesome wife for Christmas. I'll be moving on but she will be taking this s4 over. I do hope kexec gets worked out because that will open the doors to new development for all s4 users. Thanks for all the help everyone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scryan:
How big is that 6?

I went the opposite way, and got a Moto X dev ed.

Its really nice when your SUPPOSED to be able to unlock the phone, then just flash SU and your good.

Wish verizon would have gotten the N5 (TBH wish the N6 was the size of the N5....)

Hope it works out for you. I know the X is an awesome device, and in some ways the N6 is just a newer purer X... Sure it will be a great phone.

Yeah really wish the nexus 5 was on verizon or the 6 was same size as the 5... I feel like I got trolled when they announced nexus 6 on verizon, then released a $700 tablet :(

You may want to do like I did, and pick up one of those $200 dev edition moto x off ebay/amazon if they are still around. Probably as close to a nexus 5 as your gonna get. Great phone, though not a ton of roms... Most non stock stuff gets rid of the active display and voice commands so people like to stay stock based...(and I think exposed has killed the need for stock based roms). Serriously is really nice when your "supposed to" have custom recovery and root. Not ****ing around, worries about updates taking root away, ect... You just use fastboot to flash recovery and then flash supersu
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] crw97:

Repacked Stock ROM for SWR50 Version LWX48P

I made a twrp flashable stock ROM ZIP of the LWX48P version firmware. You can download it at SWR50-LWX48P-repacked-signed.zip. Don't flash it with the stock recovery, it is for twrp. The ZIP contains the unmodified files, this means it is NOT rooted, busyboxed or something else. Use it to go back to stock, if you mess up with your system. You can also use the Sony PC Companion to go back to stock.

It includes also the u-boot/bootloader partition images like and from the OTA. If you don't want to reflash them, feel free to modify the zip.

Use it on your own risk.

If you need the stock recovery, too, then you can download a dump of it at SWR50-LWX48P-stock-recovery.img. Flash it with fastboot.

Just try to update from Android menu (Settings->About->System Updates). Sometimes it takes several hours or a day to get the update, but it should happen.

I'm not alone! I've been using an original Pebble for a about a year and I just got a Moto 360 with metal band.

Ex-pebble users can you please share your experiences?
[Moto 360] pakure:
Someone confirmed that you can use gravity box pro xposed module to change vibration intensity and pattern on your phone and the vibration on the watch would mirror the one on phone
