[Legend Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
It seems that loop5 causes issues too. Try opening bootubuntu in notepad++ (windows) or any text editor (linux) and changing all the "loop5" to "loop1" then saving it and putting it on your /sdcard/ubuntu folder. Then follow the steps in the first post again.

If it goes wrong again follow the same procedure, but change to "loop5" or "loop2". I know this is a pain but it's the only way I've found to fix it.

What the problem is is that the loopback device (loop1, loop2 or loop5, whichever you use) is sometimes busy for no good reason, so you need to use another one. A potential "be all and end all" solution is to change the scripts so that that check for which loopback device is free, and use that. But as I'm no good at scripting I wouldn't know how. I'll look into doing it, but someone else may well beat me to it

What you need to remember about this is that it's a very "nerdy" thing to do, and should be approached with a 'can do' attitude. It seems that there is no one loopback device that's always free, so we need to change the scripts often to keep booting it.

Anyhoo, I'll read up on these scripts, and see if I can work out a simple "if ... then ... else" procedure that automates some of this, if it's even possible...
[Legend Android Development] Zionator:
Thanks for the help.

I have done it from loop1 to loop 7 and they r all busy so i just wanna know how many loops dos this phone have and how do i free them up to use for ubuntu if max amuont of loops r busy :confused:
[Legend Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
If I knew how to free 'em up our problem would be solved. Lol. Rebooting might help, but otherwise I'm all outta ideas.
[Legend Android Development] Zionator:
OH boy!!!

Hmmm after to many tries with out luck i did a wipe and reinstalled azure and before applying the app pack with market in it i gave ubuntu a shot and bang it was running.

After applying the app pack market just starts auto downloading tonz of apps and reinstalling them so now i am back at pointblank :eek: all loops r busy :confused:.

i think this ubuntu is a nice idea but sadly only a few will be able to try it unless someone then finds out a way to reserve a loop or 2 for ubuntu :o
[Legend Android Development] snakehult:
I will try to make new script.

meanwhile try

losetup -f

for show first free loop (X)

mod bootubuntu with:

sed 's/loop5/loopX/' bootubuntu

boot to recovery and rerun sh ./ubuntu.sh for update bootubuntu in /system/bin
[Legend Android Development] Zionator:
ok thanks very much for the reply i'll try it now :D

pew i have now reach 33 and still busy loops o.O i give up for now till more help comes :)

Do As I told yo and run command in prev post. And sed will change file for you.
[Legend Android Development] Zionator:
Lovin this porting :D

What dos this mean?

BogoMIPS : 479.72

And i saw in another forum that desire i think was running ether ubuntu or dedian with gui and just wanted to know if it is possible for legend or is the hardware to low for that?

And i got it working with losetup -f thanks i just didnt understand if i should put losetup in the script or as a command but figured it out :D

Edit :

When trying to install anything it tells me >

The following packages will be REMOVED:

libbeagle1{u} python-dev{u} python-nautilus{u} python2.6-dev{u}

What do i do to install apps are the above safe to remove or not?

I would realy like nano or something similar to be installed since gedit is installed but useless since no gui.

I am sure if the python is removed it will mess up ubuntu on the phone and dont realy need nautilus since there is no gui or am i totaly wrong?

Is there a command for a list of all the installed apps on ubuntu that would be useble in terminal mode?
[Legend Android Development] BlaY0:
It means your gizmo runs at 480 MHz (not directly but indirectly).

If you don't have GUI, then it is safe because removal of all these packages won't impact the system. Check that you are using the right apt sources.

Where does it say it will remove python??? Just development part of python, which you won't need if you don't compile natively stuff with python support.

Try aptitude. Install it if it is not installed yet but I doubt that.

[Legend Android Development] LilNes:
guys, what about meego/maemo ?

and is it possible to make a debian/ubuntu rom ?
[Legend Android Development] BlaY0:
Everything is possible pressuming that drivers for your hardware are available.

After that everything is trivial... loading/running kernel, mounting some file system, running some user-space programs from there...
[Legend Android Development] LilNes:
Mmmmm, anyone have try a full debian rom ?
[Legend Android Development] Neon87:
i tried with good results but i prefere to install stuff and run it directly on kernel without doing chroot..

i'm still working on it because i have no time.. but the result will be a software "ipkg" (like apt-get on debian like distros) that allow you to install apps and run it directly.. that meas few mb to download and run and faster software..
[Legend Android Development] LilNes:

I've got a problem - I booted into recovery and ran the adb shell, but I can't cd to /sdcard/ubuntu - /sdcard working fine, but when I ls inside it, it returns no results. It seems I can't access any folders from the SD card from the adb shell. Help!
[Legend Android Development] snakehult:
What does:

ls -al /sdcard

ls -al /sdcard/ubuntu

say?
[Legend Android Development] Ravrahn:
I solved that problem by mounting the SD card (mount /sdcard/ then cd /sdcard/ubuntu), but when I tried sh ./bootubuntu it said something like "can't umount /data/ubuntu/devs". I think there more to the folder it was umounting than that, but I can't remember.

[EVO 4G General] werxen:
So I went into the Sprint store to pick up my brand new Evo replacement. Yes they give you NEW ones if you have a hardware defect and demand one, not a ****ty refurb. The refurb they initially wanted to give me had 3 huge scratches on the screen - go **** yourself Sprint. Anyway, I get to the store and this guy is with a salesman asking about what phone he should get. The salesman right away goes to the most expensive Evo and Epic phones and says you NEED an Android phone. Whatever, I thought, salesmen work on commission and this type of behavior is not out of line necessarily. Next the salesman says, "You have to pay an extra $10 a month to get this phone but thats because you get 4G" I though to myself... we pay the extra $10 because we get 4G? Weird... Then the guy asked him when they would be getting 4G where they are the the salesman said in 1 month - mind you this is midsized Colorado city with NO 4g towers. He said it would be live in 1 month. At this point I made a comment to my girlfriend saying this salesman is a bullshitter. Next, the salesman tells the guy that the Evo has the best resolution out of ANY smart phone out there. At this point I just wanted to punch this guy right in the face. Not only is this not true but it has just a regular LCD screen. Compared to the Galaxy or the iPhone, it just has a large. The salesman also went on to say that 3G is fast enough to do anything 4G does in the meantime before its out such as stream high definition youtube videos.

I don't get it... should I have said something? I didn't want to ruin this guys commission but at the same time he is blatantly lying to a customer so he can get him down for 2 years. The ****ed up thing is Sprint will never believe him if he says a rep lied to him about any of this stuff. I still feel bad for this guy - he obviously wasn't the most technologically sophisticated cat in the world and he was about to get a real wakeup call.

[EVO 4G General] dglowe343:
I honestly don't see how this guy has anger issues. He's simply asking for opinions on whether or not he should've called out a lying salesman. Imo, I say no. Dishonest salesman are worthless, but if you believe everything they tell you cuz you didn't do any research you have only yourself to blame.

Ps. Still waiting to see some sort of worthwhile post from Sporkman.

[EVO 4G General] meatgel:
Anybody who goes to buy anything without doing their own research first and relying on a salesman's word kinda deserves what they get. I believe this on any type of purchase, but especially on anything I would have to sign a contract for.

I work on commission, too, and I don't lie when I sell. With that said, when I am speaking to a customer and another customer pipes up with their opinion I get pissy.
[EVO 4G General] fachadick:
Honestly, if the guys lying about the product he shouldn't be getting his commission so don't worry about that. When found in this situation again, try this - wait for the salesman to leave for a minute, and walk up and mention to the customer "you know I couldn't help overhearing, but I have this product and...." and tell him the truth. The important thing is to not make a scene or accuse the salesman of anything. Just let the customer know that you don't think what you overheard was correct, and suggest to him that he go online to check it out, and do some research before taking your word on it, or the salesmans. If you don't get a chance to talk with the customer, or the sale guys lies were too over the top, talk to the manager on the way out.

[EVO 4G General] phatmanxxl:
No different than a used car salesman.
[EVO 4G General] accelerus:
I'd be on the fence as well

I am of the type that I research anything that is a significant cost or commitment, (phones, cars, contracts, etc) so I have somewhat diminished sympathy for the average consumer who walks into a store clueless and actually expects to be told the 100% honest truth. There are endless jokes about anything salesmen. Oldie but goodie: How do you know when a salesmen is lying? -- When his mouth is moving.

The only thing that would have held me back on saying anything is if that was my local sprint store that I might need a favor from in the future. If I wrecked a guys comission, I would never expect to be properly helped out by anyone in that store again. (word travels fast in small stores like that)

You never know what kind if guy the customer was either, there are two types of people who use the Evo. The kind that love to tinker/customize/tweak and set things up through learning and discovery (i.e. most of us here) and there are people who just don't give a damn and want it to "work".

This is my first droid phone, I ditched my iphone 3G and ATT beacuse of the endless runaround and BS. I couldn't be happier with my Evo. On that same note, I have a friend who had an iphone, we convinced her to get a droid based phone. A few days later she calls us up *****ing how its "too hard to use" and it never works. This was 100% user error though.

Is it me or is anyone else tired of the android phones being referred to as "Droid'
[EVO 4G General] gqstatus0685:

Anyway I would have corrected the salesman because that person will end up getting pissed off and end up getting the run around during the buyers remorse period.
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
I think Sprint needs to get their **** together and get all of their many different stories about what the $10 is for, or just drop it already.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Eh... They can't say it's for 4G because everyone that doesn't have 4G will complain. Richer data experience is their best excuse right now. Everyone want's 4G but doesn't want to help pay to have it developed. Like I tell all my customers, don't go to the dealership expecting to purchase a Bentley but then complain that you have to put 93 octane gas.

[EVO 4G General] uniquenameevo:
You don't think wanting to punch someone for saying something incorrect about a screen is a bit much?

Although, I do agree, it is hard listening to a salesperson lie to a customer. It could very well be he didn't know he was lying, but that doesn't help much.
[EVO 4G General] omegasun18:
I feel it is always the consumers resposibility to do research ont here purchase. I also feel the salespeople should give the most accurate and true information they can (yea i know dream world). If i was still in the store when the sales person stepped away i would have said soemthing to the customer but i woudl nto have interupted or stepped in while the salesperson was standing there still working with the customer.

I figure if i am there and i am not being overly rude but giving a hand then sure i will. Ia m not going to stand around for 30 mintues waiting for the saleperson to step away though or barge into someone elses conversation to correct a salesperson though.

I guess i feel if they didnt tdo the research and are being lied to i will help out if i can do it in a discrete helpful non rude manner but otherwise i chalk it up to another person not doing there research.

also the telling a manager thing is a notehr great suggestion if they are telling them something way out there. I am careful on this one beacuse it will likely result in the salesperson getting in trouble. While i would say ti is there job t know there products. they may have been misinformed and not maliciously feeding false information in an attempt to get a sale. (it happens) so unless it is way over the top or obvious i wont.
[EVO 4G General] zone23:
So for those who think that you get what you deserver for not "doing your research", would you feel the same way if it was happening to a 85 year old man or women? People deserve it, do they? How just the way he looked? The guy didn't seem smart? People generally don't deserve to be treated like morons. They come into a store and ask questions and don't or should have to expect to be lied too. The sales person either didn't know or was a lier. I would have thought the sales person would have pushed the Epic as it cost more, but who knows.

I have to admit when you say something like punch the guy in the face it does come off like your a nut case. I would not have felt so strongly.

Now to answer the OP:

I probably would have waited until the sales man went to get the phone then pulled the guy to the side and told him what I know. I would not have made it sound like the sales guy was a lier or any of that. I would have tried to be a bigger man than all that.. I would not have punched anyone or started any fights.
[EVO 4G General] Jye75:
Two words: Caveat Emptor.
[EVO 4G General] dglowe343:
In terms of being dishonest to a customer, no. It would be a little different if he had punched the guy in the face. IMO, just because you get mad about something doesn't mean you have anger issues.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
VM heap size affects, in short, how much room your larger apps have to breathe. If you set it at 32, an app will not be allowed to use more than 32mb. Setting it too low will result in force closes because apps don't have enough room to run. Setting it too high can result in memory management issues because you have too many apps using too much memory.

VM heap size is usually increased. It'll help apps like your launcher run more smoothly. What size is best for you depends on your phone, what rom you're running, etc. Just experiment and find what you like best by moving up a little at the time. 40-48 is usually a good number. I've used as high as 64 before without problems, but 64 probably wouldn't be good for a Sense 3.0 rom.
