tried both sprint and google nav

ill stick with google nav !
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blix1337:
Google nav sort of has realtime traffic... if you bring up the route info where it shows the map of the route, it will highlight areas of traffic w/ different colors. Then you can go to find alternate route, and chose one that's shorter in time. I find it very accurate and helpful, just not as automated as I'd like it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apinkel:
Does google nav allow you to cache a route (or better yet... maps for a region) on the device... I live in the midwest and travel on back roads where 3G is spotty at best but more often then not, it's non-existent.

I'm currently using garmin XT on WM which I love but I'm not finding a lot of nav options for android with on device maps.

Sounds like copilot is about the only option if I need on device maps? Which may not be a bad way to go... google for general nav use and copilot for backwoods navigation. Copilot does seem to priced right...

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] livingdeadgirl1031:
About 2 weeks ago my touch function stopped responding. I was away from the night and it died shortly after and I did not have my charger. The next day once I got it charged up, I powered it on and was able to get a few minutes of working touch sense... then the touch died completely. I opened it up to make sure all of the cables were intact- Everything inside looked perfect except for the little latch that holds down on the digitizer cable was broken off, but that was already like that for a while and everything was still working.) After some fiddleing and no luck, I decided I probably just need to get a new digitizer--- It would be easy to disassemble because my lcd and digitizer were both oem from a drop in the potty a few minths back, which only affected the screen. So today the digitizer came in and I replaced it- NO LUCK! Every once in a while I get a tiny spark of scroll functionality or the bottom of the screen while in landscape mode becomes touchable for a few seconds, but otherwise dead.

Does anyone know what the problem could be since I have already replaced the digitizer???

Right now I am only able too hook up my internet sharing and etc. through MyMobiler.

Thanks

Hello,

I am running PureHero with android 2.1 and I came across this gChrome theme that is only compatible with 1.5 and I was wondering if there is any chance of getting it ported over to 2.1?

I am a new user so I cannot post the link to the theme but it can be easily found by searching Google for "Download gChrome (Beta version 0.2) Theme for Android Phone".

If not, if you know of a similar theme or even something AOSP-ish with the grey and green notification bar icons that I could flash I would appreciate any help.

Thank you!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] spiritcrusher33:
Maybe some themers can step in and help ya..

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] gomorrah:
PureHero is Sense based and gChrome is AOSP. Its not worth the effort to port it to PureHero with all the wonderful AOSP-ness we have here for our Heros.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] daPorkchop:
It is available for Better Home however.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mercies:
Ah ok, I didn't realize Purehero was sense-based. I am sorry, I'm new at this. I just rooted a few days ago. I wanted AOSP but I heard that Purehero was really great on battery life and it was fast.

I also looked for an AOSP for 2.1 that had everything working but couldn't find one. If any of you know of a better ROM for what I am looking for any help would be appreciated but otherwise thank you for your help!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] gomorrah:
If you want AOSP 2.1 then you need/want/should already be using DarchDroid 2.7. Its the only true 2.1 AOSP ROM we have, and is complete and badass.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mercies:
Is it pretty OK on battery life for you?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] daPorkchop:
purehero is actually sense less. but its not ASOP.

and when i go to their site to buy it, it only lets me choose the download for the motroola droid under verizon. is this why its not on the market? they dont have it working with the incredible yet? but aslphalt 5 only shows the moto droid too, and that works great.

If your screen fades between brightness, you have Novatek. If the screen brightness changes instantly, its Epson.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] samwathegreat:
Hi guys,

As I'm sure most of you already know, some super-smart devs have already gotten ubuntu running on evo and nexus 1. I haven't heard any news of anyone doing this on the incredible.

I would love this functionality, but I'm no dev and have no experience building kernels. Anyone with the appropriate know how interested in having a look at the evo forum, and see if they can compile a kernel that will allow us to run ubuntu on or incredibles?

Just fyi: feedback from evo users suggest that all ubuntu functionality is working, including full flash support and even hulu.com!

Are you as excited as I am? Lets get to work on this- let me know and I'll help anyway I can.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] samwathegreat:
Ok, hadn't done this before, but it turned out to be pretty easy. I have compiled the kernel, and packaged it into an update.zip file signed with test keys. You can flash this straight from CW recovery.

If anyone is interested, this "kupdate-signed.zip" will update the kernel to the one I have compiled.

This kernel is completely identical to the stock htc kernel, except that it has the

CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP=y

set so that we can run Ubuntu.

FInd it here: www<dot>4shared<dot>com/file/-kxtUfIw/kupdate-signed<dot>html

--samwathegreat
[Droid Incredible Android Development] samwathegreat:
Ok, so the kernel seems to work perfectly for me, however I am unable to get ubuntu running.

I'm not sure where the problem lies, but I think it has to do with our restricted access to /system and /data.

Hopefully someone here can figure out what it is that I'm missing......I've tried following the instructions while booted into recovery and mounting /system and /data > everything works fine when I run the ubuntu.sh file, but I can't run the bootubuntu file under recovery........so after rebooting phone and trying to run bootubuntu, I get all kinds of errors and ultimately it fails.

After viewing the contents of bootubuntu file, I noticed that once again, it's trying to mount the /system partition......

If this is indeed because of the nand lock, then why does the procedure work on the evo 4g? I was under the impression that it incorporated the same nand lock as the incredible?

Any ideas?

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] samwathegreat:
Edit:

The nand lock is indeed the culprit...just found out that evo users have full nand unlock available. I wasn't aware of that -hopefully we have the same soon on the incredible.

Patiently waiting...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ryoojin83:
I was looking through the

bootubuntu a few days ago and if I remember correctly it was just moving some if the scripts into the system partition. We could probably boot into recovery and move the files in manually then edit the scripts to remove the system access.

Think its possible? I haven't looked at the scripts in a few days...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] intenselyinsane:
If you need someone to test let me know.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dvdivx:
I posted a thread about chroot earlier with no reply. No true nand unlock means no chroot which means no dual booting into ubuntu/debian/meego etc. Also no response from unrevoked if they plan on releasing a true nand unlock.

Other big problem is input.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=631389

That's about putting debian on the nexus as well using adb which might be possible but ending the session might have to be a battery pull. The big problem are sound drivers, GSM radio/modem drivers and on screen input.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] samwathegreat:
Dvdivx:

Thanks, we're on the right track, however fastboot won't work on our devices either...again because of nand (that's why I had to make my kernel into an update.zip and sign with test keys - the evo boys just use fastboot to update their kernels). MAYBE we could get one of the distros installed in recovery with update.zip, but I don't see how we could boot android too if we go this method.

Shame I went to all the trouble of building that kernel....oh well. Maybe we will have nand unlock soon and get to use it yet.

Keep me posted if you find something out that hasn't been mentioned here. Thanks.

I've been trying this for the last few days and stumbled uppon this thread when trying to get around the problem of mount -o loop.

I'm using http[://]nexusonehacks.net/nexus-one-hacks/how-to-install-ubuntu-on-your-nexus-oneandroid/ as my guide and running through the two scripts manually adjusting as needed.

Thanks to your kernel i was able to get the ubuntu.img mounted. Here is what I've done so far...

#running jager chocolate rom with

#reboot recovery

mkdir /tmp/system

mount -o rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /tmp/system

cd /tmp/system

cp /sdcard/ubuntu/fsrw .

cp /sdcard/ubuntu/bootubuntu .

cp /sdcard/ubuntu/unionfs .

cp /sdcard/ubuntu/mountonly .

chmod 4777 fsrw

chmod 4777 bootubuntu

chmod 4777 unionfs

chmod 4777 mountonly

#reboot and connect with adb shell

export kit=/sdcard/ubuntu

export bin=/system/bin

export mnt=/data/local/ubuntu

export PATH=$bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:$PATH

export TERM=linux

export HOME=/root

mkdir /data/local/ubuntu

mount -o rw,loop -t ext2 $kit/ubuntu.img $mnt

busybox mount --bind /dev/pts $mnt/dev/pts

busybox mount --bind /proc $mnt/proc

busybox mount --bind /sys $mnt/sys

sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1

echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" > $mnt/etc/resolv.conf

echo "nameserver 8.8.4.4" >> $mnt/etc/resolv.conf

echo "127.0.0.1 localhost" > $mnt/etc/hosts

chroot $mnt /bin/bash

So.... now I've got "root@localhost:/#"

And...

# uname -a

Linux localhost 2.6.29 #1 PREEMPT Sun Jul 11 03:35:47 EDT 2010 armv7l GNU/Linux

# chroot $mnt /bin/bash

root@localhost:/# cat /etc/issue

Ubuntu 9.10 \n \l

I think I'd call that a success.... Someone care to confirm?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] pez252:
Done with the following:

apt-get update

apt-get install tightvncserver

apt-get install lxde

Over to androidVNC... The connection is taking forever to go through

When i go back to the terminal and cat /root/.vnc/localhost:1.log I see the following:

xrdb: No such file or directory

xrdb: can't open file /root/.Xresources

Segmentation fault

Edit: Nevermind... it works. When I entered the address in androidvnc, localhost was autocorrected as locals and I didn't notice.

The following script I saved as ubuntu.sh to handle creating the environment variables and such that is required each time you launch ubuntu. i call it with sh ubuntu.sh since I cant make it executable on the sdcard and don't feel like booting into recovery to put it in /system/bin until I work out the little issues. The only problem with below is that it is not un mounting the ubuntu image... Any ideas?

#####BEGIN ubuntu.sh#####

export kit=/sdcard/ubuntu

export bin=/system/bin

export mnt=/data/local/ubuntu

export PATH=$bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:$PATH

export TERM=linux

export HOME=/root

export USER=root

mount -o rw,loop -t ext2 $kit/ubuntu.img $mnt

busybox mount --bind /dev/pts $mnt/dev/pts

busybox mount --bind /proc $mnt/proc

busybox mount --bind /sys $mnt/sys

sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1

echo Running ubuntu!

chroot $mnt /bin/bash

#After exit, cleanup

umount $mnt/dev/pts

umount $mnt/proc

umount $mnt/sys

umount $mnt

#####END ubuntu.sh#####

Also, I was able to launch a few applications inside my VNC session including firefox. It was really really slow (i guess as expected). i would be interested in a performance comparison from someone who has both an incredible and one of other devices people have made run ubuntu in this fashion.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] pez252:
Ok so I've wiped my phone and started from scratch to come up with an easy procedure...

All that you need is the kernel samwathegreat posted, ubuntu.img (in /sdcard/ubuntu) and the following script. You only need to boot into recovery to do a nandroid backup and to install the kernel.

###### BEGIN ubuntu.sh ######

export PATH=/system/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:$PATH

export TERM=linux

export HOME=/root

export USER=root

mkdir /data/local/ubuntu

mount -o rw,loop -t ext2 /sdcard/ubuntu/ubuntu.img /data/local/ubuntu

busybox mount --bind /dev/pts /data/local/ubuntu/dev/pts

busybox mount --bind /proc /data/local/ubuntu/proc

busybox mount --bind /sys /data/local/ubuntu/sys

sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1

echo waiting for things to settle...

sleep 5

echo Running ubuntu!

chroot /data/local/ubuntu /bin/bash

#After exit, cleanup

umount /data/local/ubuntu/dev/pts

umount /data/local/ubuntu/proc

umount /data/local/ubuntu/sys

umount /data/local/ubuntu

###### END ubuntu.sh ######

FANTASTIC!

pez:

Thanks so much!

I'm thrilled that my kernel did indeed go to some good use. You obviously have greater linux knowledge than I, as i would not have been able to do the scripting myself.

In the true spirit of teamwork, we've accomplished this WITHOUT having nand access. To me, this is quite an accomplishment.

Thanks to everyone that worked on this! Also - Although I did build the kernel myself, I feel that credit must also go to "Koush", who provided the means and instructions to package the kernel into an update.zip file, and sign with test keys.

Good Luck everybody, and have fun playing with ubuntu on your Incredible!!!

[Droid Incredible Android Development] pez252:
Building everything required into a rom except the ubuntu image it's self would take almost no space. Also, there is no reason this wouldnt work with other distros (could you run two android versions at once?).

Hope you're successful. I havent received a reply from anyone confirming they were successful too, though one person on androidforums.com tried, it looks like they tried without running as root.
