you can install evolution via apt-get install or via add/remove program. If you get it work (evolution + googlesync) you could write some information about this to the wiki.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] amiPro:
You can, just make sure you download the correct package. You downloaded the package for MIPS instead of armel architecture.

someone knows how i can install wine on Rhodium?

Tnx
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] JesusFreak316:
Sorry, but it wouldn't work. As the acronym says Wine Is Not an Emulator. Since our devices are arm based, it would have to emulate x86 to run windows apps, which Wine doesn't do. You might be able to find something like wine to run WindowsCE apps but I don't know if that exists. The only way I really know of to

run Windows apps is through DOSBOX which is stupidly slow and you'd be limited to Pre-Windows XP programs as emulating XP just plain would suck.

getting a data connection rhobuntu

something odd seems to be happening. with the latest build I can send text just fine. I havent tried making a phone call as of yet. considering that I can send text one would assume there to be a data connection present. well I've been trying to download firefox and keep getting an error which looks to me that the program cannot connect to whatever server it needs to get to. Also it seems the default midori browser is not connecting either.

I've gone through and manually configured the settings for 3g for at&t and still nothing. I thought I read earlier that someone was successful in downloading firefox, if so could you share your config if your on at&t's network? thanks in advance for any help guys!

Problem with Rhobuntu 9.04 13_05_2010.7z.002

Hi all

For some reason I can't extract the .002 file with 7-zip. I get an error that the file can't be opened as an archive.

Does anybody have any ideas about how I could sort this out. I have extracted the .001 file without problem.

Thanks

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] dantegl36:
i actually just posted about this a few (maybe 5) post back. you need to have both .001 and .002 files together before the extraction will work.

wifi on my touch pro t7272 ie raph100 is still not working...after changing eth0 to wlan0...no luck...donno why... btw is there an inbox for incoming sms?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] walter79:
wlan0 doesn't work for rhodium. read the wiki for raph100 and change mac adress in startup.txt
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] naviru:
thanks for the reply.

mine is raph100 and the wiki says i need to change eth0 to wlan0, i did.

I've changed the mac address as well.

however i cant get wifi to work

iwconfig shows no wlan0

only lo, dummy0 and usb0

is there anything i did wrong?

heres my startup.txt...

wait, might it because I always update the zimage to the newest version? i ll now try the original one...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] walter79:
did you read the wiki before you update the zimage?

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=RhodiumUbuntu#Kernelx20.Update

maybe you didn`t copy all module files.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] naviru:
ok its because i updated the zimage and modules....wifi now works using the original zimage but arent we supposed to be using the latest one?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] walter79:
It should, but new zimage can make trouble with wifi. I use only new zimage if this image is more stable then the old one.

I will check this problem.

Which Zimage you used?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] naviru:
are we supposed to put the zimage and the modules at the root of the storage card then change startup.txt to true? this was what I did

is there anything else that should be done afterwards?

my understanding to the wiki is that this is all required for 9.04 and if on 9.10 or 8.04 we need to manually copy the files.

or should I manually copy the modules for 9.04 too?

I think my problem is about the modules since i remember it saying invalid module format when I was trying to get wifi work for the new zimage.

btw when using the new zimage, during boot i got a lot of messages saying something used micropklt_lcd_contol. what was that?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] naviru:
thanks a lot.

my fault, i should be putting the package in ubuntu folder instead of root.

Hello,

Re: Rhobuntu: Ubuntu 9.04 on Rhodium- calls and sms now work! [13/05/2010]

Good news on the battery meter :)

Also question how does android obtain its apn settings automatically?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] phhusson:
You can retrieve MCC/MNC (which defines a physical operator (ie not a MVNO)) with AT commands. I think it's with the commands to get signal level (they are asynchronous events so it's a pain to handle.)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] amiPro:
You can get MCC/MNC and operator name using ofono client API. A lookup will be needed to map operator name to default APN.

Additional info for noobs

Thanks for making my year, and all the hard work that has gone into this! Here is an observation from me, a new Rhobuntu user.

There needs to be a simple installation how-to, perhaps right below the disclaimer of all the bad things that could happen and right above the links to download Rhobuntu. I suggest it say something like this:

Simple Installation How-To

1) Download 7-zip from 7-zip.org

2) Download Rhobuntu_904_13_05_20107z.001 and Rhobuntu_904_13_05_20107z.002 from one of the links below.

3) Extract these two files using 7-zip.

4) Copy the 'Ubuntu' folder and the 'ubuntu.img' files to your storage card (2GB or larger).

5) From 'File Explorer' in WinMo, navigate to the haret.exe file in the 'Ubuntu' folder and run it.

This would've saved me a lot of time digging through the forums to try to piece this information together, and I'm sure it will help others to give it a try, especially those who are not as technically-oriented. I tried putting it on my 1GB SD card, but ubuntu.img wouldn't fit and the OS wouldn't load without it.

Thanks again for all the hard work! Looking forward to checking it out (after my larger SD card arrives)!

Rhobuntu newbie notes

My provider is USCellular on a CDMA network.

I got it working, but there are a few quirks:

1) The letters 'z' and 'y' are switched on both the hardware and software keyboards from their 'normal' US keyboard positions.

2) Can't figure out how to make outgoing calls.

3) When I answer incoming calls, I can't hear the other party, but they can hear me.

4) Can't receive SMS text messages (or I don't know how).

Any ideas how to resolve these?

Even in light of the above, Rhobuntu is awesome!

I noticed on Rhobuntu booting up, it looks like it is using a German keymap. Is this correct?

Also, I've been looking for some apps to install on the OS (like Adobe Flash). They need to be Linux ARM specific, don't they?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] walter79:
change your startup.txt. read the wiki to setup the keyboard.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] walter79:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] respectech:
I realize (now) that this information is included in the wiki, but maybe it would still be helpful to have it on that first page. If that doesn't sound good, then maybe something as simple as "To find out how to set up Rhobuntu, visit wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=RhodiumUbuntu".

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] bfgarzilla9k:
That does look more "finger-friendly" than what we have now :p

But seeing what we know we can do with linux through haret, I'd like to see this really take off. I know plenty of linux developers who would be more than happy to help out if they could get their hands on a rhodium (after seeing what the guys here have done so far).

It's not like we don't have more than enough resources. We've got

the best

hardware keyboard on any phone out so far, and I've seen linux ran on some obscure stuff.. this should be cake. We just need some help!

tl;dr We should work on a more phone optimized distro using what we can from this.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] thunerclaps:
I did some research and couldnt find a thread that indicated the same issue that Im experiencing, so here it goes:

After extracting the files to my SD card, then launching Haret, the dos script begins to load, then load, then load some more without ever producing Ubuntu for me. I had it running for about 25-30 minutes so far.

I'm sure there's probably a step that I missed; some guidance would be appreciated. What am I doing wrong, or did I not wait long enough for it to load?

BTW: I'm using a TMO Rhodium if that matters.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Samich2007:
Sometimes I have the same problem, but you just need to reset it and try it again ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] OndraSter:
If you get stuck with _ on top left, I suggest deleting it from SDCard and putting it there again, that worked for me.

Anyway, the problem about CPU usage is something inside XServer, because when you go to init 1, the CPU load is 0, you can check it in top.

This looks actually quite nice, I might get interested in it, since I don't like Android :)

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Bombenbach:
I've managed to get the Ctrl working, however it's quite a dirty hack and Ctrl is mapped to the E-Mail button.

In LXTerminal:

xmodmap -e 'remove control = Control_L'
xmodmap -e 'keycode 135 = Control_L'
xmodmap -e 'add control = Control_L'

Still can't get FN working. :(

EDIT: Well, you can get FN working but then you have to map it to the E-Mail button instead of Ctrl.

xmodmap -e 'clear mod4'
xmodmap -e 'keycode 135 = Mode_switch'
xmodmap -e 'add mod4 = Mode_switch'

The problem is that X11 won't accept input from real Ctrl or Fn buttons and so I can't map them properly. I have got no idea why. Unfortunately I'm not a dev.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] matmaneyre:
+1 for me for the sticky. I would choose to have this over android...not that I don't appreciate the work involved there, but a desktop OS on out TP2s....fully ported, the possibilities would be immense.

Great work guys.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] OndraSter:
Exactly - if we would merge kernel as much as possible with Android's, we would get wifi working (and the rest soon too), then I would get some TP2 with broken GSM/CDMA chip off ebay cheaply and use it in school instead of laptop :D

I think we are on a good track, but some notes:

- Do something with XServer

- Use XFce rather than GNome, it should fit more and use LESS RAM(!)

Btw you can compile it against ARMv6 (ARMv7 is Snapdragon), not sure what you compile it against now
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
I thought about replacing GNOME with Xfce, but then I realized the package posted here is not Ubuntu, but Lubuntu , which uses the LXDE desktop environment. LXDE is even lighter than Xfce, so unless we replace LXDE with something even more lightweight like Fluxbox or Joe's Window Manager, I'd forget about the messing with the window manager.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Bombenbach:
Well, it is still a very dirty hack, but at least keyboard somehow works:

Ctrl is Mail-button

FN (respectively AltGr) is period-button

to get period just press period+x

to get question mark press period+z

I know that it sucks, but I simpy can't make Ubuntu react on real FN (keycode 215) and Ctrl (Keycode 464).

showkey reports them properly but they still won't work :(

I wish a real dev would help us :confused:

@sebbo90

all I did was to modify keymap-2.6.map in /etc

Hope it helps

PS I've also noticed that on my Rhodium Ubuntu will always end up freezing, so you can't really use it for more 10-15 minutes. Can someone confirm that?

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
The whole thing takes up 803 MB on my computer when it's fully extracted.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] mbg19:
But then doesnt it extract again when Haret uncompresses it? just like it does with android?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
It doesn't create the 256 MB file on your microSD called data.img, if that's what you're asking. The download contains all the files Ubuntu needs, so nothing is created on first boot.

Good Job, On the Build

First I would like to thank all of the developers involved with the port of Ubuntu for the HTC(Almost all models!!).

The new release is by far the best yet. Anyone one know the correct APN settings for the AT&T network? It would be greatly appreciated. Also, is there anyway to change the default desktop window management environment? XFCE(XDE) is nice, but I have seen some builds with gnome, can I simply replace the existing ubuntu.img file with the gnome build? or should I use the package manager to install gnome desktop environment, and then edit the configuration file(.xinitrc)? Anyone who can provide info it would help alot? Thanks again.

You can replace the default desktop window manager. We use gnome desktop manger with LXDE desktop. XFCE works also. You can try other desktops. But we have still no real graphic drivers.
