[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] JesusFreak316:
There is no reason to partition your card. The bootloader will mount the ext2 image as if it were a partition. Assuming you don't have a xperia x1 (kovsky) and you have a raph100, why are you using that build? The only time that build is better than the one I uploaded is if you have an xperia, as calibration should be fixed for that phone. Otherwise, if you have a Diamond, Touch Pro, or Fuze, the x1 build will be upside down and the calibration will still be off. The build I uploaded doesn't require you to type "startx" and is rotated correctly. I don't know about android on a partition, I don't see it making much of a difference though.

When you say telephony service, do you mean Wifi, 3g, or voice? The only currently planned one is Wifi because this is not meant to be a winmo replacement but an alternate boot for when you need a desktop app such as openoffice or a full fledged midi sequencer. I don't see how a finished Android build would help this much. We already have what we need for Wifi and touch screen calibration, we just haven't gotten them working yet. What are you thinking would be helpful? The only important things not working in XDANDROID are gps, camera, and some bluetooth features. I don't know of any ubuntu apps that use gps or camera as most desktops don't have either (except for webcams, maybe it could use that), and bluetooth isn't exactly a dealbreaker.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Santehnik:
Is there any progress with calibration?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] JesusFreak316:
Not really currently. I've been busy with school and have only had time to update the thread, not work on it. Sorry. Hopefully I can work on it later this week.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] KoolTurk:
Thanks for your response, yes, I mean, WiFi, 3G and voice, otherwise it is still so cool to have ubuntu on our phones. What I did was faster than the .ext2 image being mapped in fstab.. I am currently inquiring how possible to get Android the same way running off an ext2 partition, because it takes ages to load while at start-up it copies applications to data.img. Yeah, I agree, I would even toss bluetooth for some other faster protocol =) it is slow, eats battery and does not work very well, plus people with infected smartphones keep trying to send files to your device to infect your phone as well))
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] JesusFreak316:
Oh, ok. It should be possible to do that with Android. I believe the first few builds required you to partition your card and add the files like you did. You'd be better off asking that in the XDANDROID thread I would think. But yeah, don't be expecting cellular data any time soon. I don't code, I just mess with settings. ;) You would need someone else's help like the devs from XDANDROID. If you want to ask them they are on irc at #htc-linux at freenode quite often.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] :
ok my mate knows loads bout linux, i wanna try out this screen config, what should i be looking at ill have a crack?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] JesusFreak316:
Well, one thing is the tslib crashes at boot. If it worked it should give us a touch the dot to calibrate screen which would be nice. It says something about an error with a discriminant. Also, have him look into the ts.conf file and the/etc/pointercal file. It's all related to tslib. We just need a version of that that works.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] alex27000:
any progress ? im so enjoy to test a build with wifi & screen calib :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] JesusFreak316:
Sorry, but no. I'm currently trying to recompile tslib to get the calibration screen working. I've been busy the past few days studying for a calc test, so not much happening.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] jul644:
Here are some links for you guys

http://www.mirrorcreator.com/files/1UQWQOL1/ubuntuarm.7z_links

(uploaded febuary 23)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] RDT:
This compilation works also on the HTC Touch HD, just need to adjust "msmts_calib=" in "STARTUP.TXT" to "0x395.0x3c9.0x79.0x77" (and "set mtype 2030").

Here are some photos:

However, without a hardware keyboard it's quite useless :D.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] siulmagic:
wasent calibration broken in this build?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Mr_stickz:
Ok bit of a non dev talking here is this working like normal on t he RAPH100? i really luv tryin out things like this and android...
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mootmaina:
noob here. Iv got a raph100 what mtype should it be and what else should i change in the startup.txt?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Wil Badger:
Just change the Mtype to 1910
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Count_Eternity:
been around the forums a while, but never posted...

ive been able to bring up the calibration screen, however it still will not allow calibration... touching the screen brings up the soft keyboard instead... i changed the /etc/ts.conf file to load the ucb1x00 module instead of the linux raw one... is there a way to disable the soft keyboard???
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] alexisprz:
Ubuntu works on htc fuze just fine

I just loaded it up on my fuze with the corrected start up text and booted without any problems. Played around with the mouse and got the hang of it, easiest way is to just use the stylus and double tap quickly for input.

1st pic- Is the actual home screen.

2nd pic- Task manager, shows cpu->98% constantly RAM->30 used out of 120.

3rd pic- word doc, works good and you can type using the hardware keyboard but its set to the touch pro one.

4th pic- Firefox starting up but no connection.

Its impressive how fast it runs and is quite smooth. I will try the instructions given in the first post for wifi and report back what i get.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] fatsal:

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] smoothunit:
Just thought I'd throw up a couple of clearer (just) pics showing some open apps and the task manager.

Runs very smooth out of the box and am soo looking forward to some screen calibration.

Fantastic stuff, thank you.

Please read before asking things like this.......

The calibration is off. This means when you press the screen the mouse will just jump around meaninglessly. If it gets fixed I'm sure it will get updated.

This is just a proof of concept right now. Imagine early Android on the TP. Nothing has been figured out other then it runs.

can i turn on calibration ??
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] beblioy:
i'm with diam100
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] beblioy:

Hm... When calibration utility is run and you try touch screen - nothing happend, but when you use Navi-wheel is changing calibration positions. So phone think that wheel is screen so we need fix this... it's possible to disable nav wheel by something parms in startup.txt? :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] phhusson:
It just means you're using wrong /dev/input/eventX device.

IIRC there are 4 (or 5? don't remember.), just try all of them.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] JesusFreak316:
Okay guys, sorry for the lack of response. Been busy the past couple of days.

@jul644: Thanks, but I think we're doing okay on mirrors for now. If anyone starts complaining that they can't download I'll add those.

@RDT: Good to know. ;) I figured it would.

@Count_Eternity: Fantastic!!! That's the progress we need. There is a way. It loads during the startup screen. I believe you would have to edit the init file in /sbin/ at least according to the init in the initrd.gz file as far as I can tell. I can't permanently remove it as that would mess up the people without a hardware keyboard. I suppose I could upload a second build though...

@alexisprz and smoothunit: Thanks for the pics.

@fatsal: You're the best. :)

@beblioy: It is right where it says. It's in the linux filesystem. It is only accessible once you boot ubuntu on your phone. Then just open pcman file manager and go to that folder. I recommend using the arrow keys to navigate, enter to select, and backspace to go up one directory.

@all: I downloaded fatsal's build and am trying to incorporate his wifi fix into this build. If you really want to try it now try his build but change your mtype and zImage.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] JesusFreak316:
Hey, phhusson, glad to see you here. Have any expert advice for me? :D

On a more serious note, how'd I do crediting you for the build? Is it clear enough? I want to make sure you get all the credit.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] phhusson:
There is quite no credit for me, almost everything goes to X1's devs.

IIRC, all I did was to put it from a partition to a .img file.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] JesusFreak316:
Oh really? Huh. Well I'll add that to the first post. Thanks for the build anyways.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Santehnik:
Where to change this?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] gamikzone:
that reminds me on my nokia 5800 i was able to run windows early versions with the gui but the calbration was off u had to scroll around the screen.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Beatjuggler:
Hello,

Thank you for this port.

How to edit the "/etc/ts.conf" file without a virtual keyboard on a Htc Diamond??? :confused:
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Count_Eternity:
your best bet is to mount the img on a linux box, and edit it there...
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Mr_stickz:
My Raph100 stops booting when it says something about starting maintaince (cant spell that XD) pres enter to continue or Control-D to terminate, it does'nt matter wich one i choose because it keeps saying rebooting phone in 5 sec...

How can i fix this, i have android but Ubuntu is in a different map....
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] siulmagic:
that sounds like wrong mtype
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Mr_stickz:
i set it to 1910 thats for raphael 100 right?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] JesusFreak316:
Yes, 1910 is for touch pro and fuze. gsm only. raph100 and raph110.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Mr_stickz:
ok then why isnt ubuntu booting?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] duall:
is this project dead?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] :
I wouldnt say dead just moving slowly, its hard work to do anything without screen calibrated, so untill that is sorted cant see much else happening:)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] sebbo90:
Have we had any progress on fixing the screen calibration?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Wil Badger:
I know I have not been able to spend any time on this because I have been in the middle of moving. I haven't had my computer for close to a year and I finally have it back up and running. I should have some free time to get linux installed into a virtual machine and see what can be done later in the week if work allows some free time.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] JesusFreak316:
Yeah, it's not dead. I just don't have much time to do anything. But the main reason is I don't really know how to fix this stuff. :p I have a very basic knowledge of linux, just enough to know how to follow directions on the command line. I can follow directions but can't usually figure it out myself. Essentially what this needs is someone else who is familiar with these problems to download the build and fix it as I probably won't figure it out anytime soon. Sorry guys. I really just wanted to share the build phhusson gave me but this turned into much more. I'll keep working on it but don't expect too much from me; you need someone with real knowledge.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] lubenoit:
I would like to spend some time help to make this work, is there any emulation software I can use to tweak the core, maybe changing the UI similar to the ubuntu MID version.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Wil Badger:
The only thing you can really do is load Linux either in dual boot or you can get some programs to run a virtual machine. Basically an emulated computer on your computer. This way you can still be in Windows but have Linux running in it's own window. From there you can mount the image into the Linux OS.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] JesusFreak316:
*cough* *virtualbox and ubuntu 9.10* *cough*
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Wil Badger:
That's what I usually do as well. Boots faster then running off a disk and I hate to have my drives partitioned.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Mr_stickz:
I have the right Mtype so why isnt ubuntu booting? I wrote my problem on the 1st post of page 10
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] smoothunit:
did you rename the imagefile?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Count_Eternity:
i know it wasnt one of the two main issues, but i have found where ubuntu does the keymapping... i am in the process of fixing it for the fuze... just an fyi... :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Mr_stickz:
U mean i renamed the image file from UBUNTUARM to UBUNTU? Yes i did... But it still isnt booting.... Maybe because i have XDAndroid?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] JesusFreak316:
Nah, I got XDANDROID too and it works fine. Only thing I can think of is you might want to try formatting your sd card. After backup of course. :cool:
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] sincity2k:
Ubuntu/Fuze

I haven't had the time to test this yet on my Fuze. I have been going crazy over the XDAndroid port already. I'm following it actively though, will try to contribute what I can and test in the future. Wanted to say thanks to everyone in advance though. I can't wait till the screen calibration is fixed and of course the fuze ridiculous keyboard layout resolved. Thanks
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Dereth:
I'd rather the UI stay the regular ubuntu desktop , thats definitley whats drawing me towards this project; Im sure im not the only one who feels this way.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Jaxbot:
Works great on my Fuze, except (obviously) the calibration.

Seems the biggy is that Ubuntu is landscape, while the calibration I'm using from Android is Portrait. I guess that's why the calibration feels "backwords" when using it.

Other than that, everything runs pretty good, par WiFi or any other hardware functions.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] HTCTOUCHPRO91:
thank you ubuntu is great and very fast. the only problems are the calibration and wifi, is possible reudate a version with those 2 problems solved? sorry my bad english and goodluck for this port
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] JesusFreak316:
I'm trying to get those fixed. Fatsal from the xperia x1 forum is the real authority on these issues. I'm in contact with him trying to get it fixed. Slow moving as I said before, I don't know what I'm doing. :p Hopefully he can help me.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Bill F:
Does this work on a Verizon Touch pro?

If not what work needs to be done?

I didn't see anything in this thread about it skimming through.

If it works to some extent I could maybe help write some drivers, if its not too hard to do that in Linux.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] JesusFreak316:
It won't as it is now. If you have a working android build try using the zImage and startup from that; it might work then. Try it, it's safe.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Bill F:
I just have WM 6.5 on this thing. Haven't tried Android on it yet. I'll have to start reading up.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] plata3333:
waiting new release:rolleyes:.... amazing work :eek: thanks.....
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] cyclo0n:
Use zimage from android

For the calibration. Isn't it usefull to use the zImage or kernel from the Android thread where you could create a calibration file? I dont remember the good zImage any more for that file. So if anyone knows if this will work! I love to use Ubuntu on my htc :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] AdamiX:
Waiting for some update :)

I just wanna working WiFi and good calibration of screen :)

TNX for this project :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] JesusFreak316:
The zImage wouldn't do it as it is just the kernel. However, the startup.txt has the msmts_calib line which SHOULD fix it if you put the Android calibration there but doesn't appear to. I believe that's what they used to fix it on the Rhodium.

Oh, and progress! I am talking to fatsal on his Yahoo messenger acount and he will hopefully be able to help me. He got Wifi and calibration working there so he's the guy to talk to.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Jaxbot:
Just a guess, Android calibration is for a portrait calibration, and Ubuntu is landscape, so maybe that's why my Android calibration doesn't work.

But if fatsal can get WiFi and calibration working for the Fuze/Touch Pro, that would totally make my day!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] JesusFreak316:
You do have a point there. hmm... I wonder if swapping some of the numbers around in the startup would help.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] HTCTOUCHPRO91:
thank you for your work :)

2) have the same filesystem ( downloaded from this link at page 1)

3) edited startup - i have raphael -> mtype = 1910

4) i get black screen with blue square

At begin console with pinguin write lot of information, and then i get black screen with blue square, and white underline, after about 20secs underline make invisible, and i have only black and blue.. :-/ any ideas please?

ps: sry for my english :)

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] :
Will this work on a CDMA Diamond device?

Thanks :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] JesusFreak316:
@HTCTOUCHPRO91: :)

@alexisprz: I saw it, but didn't see anything usable at this time. Apparently sztupy did. :)

@sservati: It's a touchscreen so wherever you touch, it clicks. The problem is calibration is off, so where you touch isn't where it clicks but clicks somewhere else on the screen.

@sztupy: Thanks again. One funny thing is that while tslib works on your build, editing the .bashrc in root in my build makes no difference. Huh. Maybe I did it wrong. I'll compare yours with my edited one to see.

@mugsat: Hmm... Only thing I can think of is you might want to try reformatting your sd card. Sometimes that helps. It seems you did everything right. Can you tell me the text before it disappears? Glad to know sztupy's build works though.

@sebbo90: Didn't try that; didtn't think it would make a difference. Huh. I'll try that. Did you have to do that for the rhodium?

@caldito: I'm glad. :)

@moonscapex: Don't know. Try changing the mtype and get a zImage for your phone and try it out. Shouldn't hurt anything, just won't work if it fails.

@everyone: For those that have sztupy's build working with quick boot and calibration, I'm happy for you, if a little jealous that he fixed calibration not me. ;) But for those of you like myself where his build takes forever to boot, I'm going to try to take his calibration file and put it in mine.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] sservati:
Ok, The version from sztupy is working and calibration is OK! thanks to him.

But I have a question, how can I use my sd card? I want to run some linux program on my phone. I'm testing a linux kernel on an ARM processor. Where is my SD card in this ubuntu? Should I format my SD to ext2? If I do that then how can I run Haret from win Mo?

First line will just give you some help!

Now you have your SD card contents in the sdcard directory!

Calibration

Fixing calibration:

In /root/.bashrc change:

export TSLIB_TSDEVICE=/dev/input/event1
TSLIB_TSDEVICE=/dev/input/event1

to

DEV=$(grep "\(MSM touchscreen\|tssc-manager\)" /proc/bus/input/devices -A2 | awk 'NR==3 { print $2 }' | sed 's,.*[^0-9]\([0-9]*\)$,\1,')
export TSLIB_TSDEVICE="/dev/input/event${DEV}"
TSLIB_TSDEVICE="/dev/input/event${DEV}"
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] JesusFreak316:
Is that the stuff sztupy did to the rhodium build? I remember adding some stuff that he mentioned to /root/.bashrc but it didn't fix anything; I could have easily messed up though. Does it work for you?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] sebbe1991:
Didn't know that the rhodium build had a fix, but checking the rhodium build reveals that it tries to run ts_calibrate on every event between 0 and 9 in order (and stops after finding an event that works).

My change checks /proc/bus/input/devices to see which event the touchscreen was assigned and use that instead (altough it will fail if the touchscreen doesn't have "MSM touchscreen" or "tssc-manager" in its name.)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] JesusFreak316:
I think that is similar to what he did http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5872418&postcount=385. Did it work for you? If so I'll try doing it too and uploading it. Why did you even bother with this since you have a perfectly usable build thanks to fatsal? I guess you're just being nice. :D I'll try it out when I find time.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] jjlwork:
Fix for "clicking" on "stuff"

Found a fix for the touch screen where it is so dificult to get anthing to "click" properly, it was posted by "amipro" in the rhodium thread:

Edit the file /etc/udev/rules.d/20-names.rules

search for mice and comment the found line as following:

#KERNEL=="mice", NAME="input/%k"

the difference is night and day, touch works properly and you only have to click on the launch menu for instance once and it drops down properly instead of dragging all over the place trying to activate it.

I'm also trying to get the wifi working but no go so far, I edited /etc/fc.local to point to the wl1251 driver and firmware instead of the rhodiums wifi, but still no go will post if I get it to work.
