kinect

I have been working with the kinect some and thought it might be very interesting to maybe get it working within ubuntu on the epic, provided with an external power source of course. Im not sure about usb support for the epic though, i havent put ubuntu on it yet because i bricked my epic yesterday (yeah dead black). There is another post in the forums about someone working with getting tv out, and they have stated more usb support is coming in the form of a modded usb cable.. anyone think it would be a worthy try to get it going?

the text below comes from

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=833373

"Stay tuned for some custom dev goodies including: USB TV-out, USB host support, UART & JTAG, bricked phone recovery(will force a reboot to download mode, even if you flashed the wrong kernel and lost all button mappings, etc), and a couple other things... This is mostly a DIY hardware mod, with no extensive changes or mods to the phone itself(minor software changes may apply). Will have part one of tutorial tonight: Modifying micro USB cord to access many secret options. Froyo 2.2+ only!

well I got this up and running. pretty cool I must say. I am currently on the bansai 4all 1.1.4 with ext4 no journal mod, and even if I let this run in the background I have no lag. I am going to test over night to see what the battery life is with this running in the background. overall great work guys:cool:

Well I let this run in the background all night, I just woke up when I went to sleep my battery was at 86% when I woke up it was at 81%. So with that being said I'm just going to let this run in the background. Awsome work guys.

Working finally.

Was running Nebula Rom 1.0.0.6 Twin Jets, and could not get success with this. final error being while running "bootlinux" it couldnt locate /bin/bash. like most everyone else on this forum. Tried three downloads of ubuntu1_1. did a backup and data/cache/dalvik wipe, flashed over to ViperRom 4.0.2c Apocalypse...and ran "sh ./ubuntu.sh" and "bootlinux" and first time go. root@localhost?!?! This thing is amazing! thanks alot Devs. never thought i would actually be able to get ubuntu on a cell phone =). Technology is wonderful and the things you devs are doing it is almost unstoppable. though the first time i used the ubuntu.img it was completely in deutschland. could read anything. played around with some language options..i thought, and lost my whole taskbar. i also used the logoff command numerous times from within a vnc viewer. but somehow i lost my bar, while installing another one, and still no english =(. i unzipped the .img again and sent it over to /sdcard/ubuntu and ran bootlinux again, and now the menu is in deutch, but app names and games are all in english. Just some of my experiences.

My Setup prior to success was: Froyo 2.2.1 Nebula Rom Twin Jets EXT4, with numerous apps including setcpu, cachemate, titanium, rom manager installed.

Setup for success: Froyo 2.2.1 ViperRom Apocalypse EXT4, again over dozen apps installed, including setcpu, cachemate, titanium, various games.

I tried a redownloading with a dedicated downloader too, no dice..

I reflashed to DK28 via odin, then did the 1-click-root, flashed via zip file to Quantum Rom 2.7and still the script does not work for me. winrar does not report any errors in the img when I unzip it.. are you guys possitive its a bad img download and not that one click root isnt installing busybox to the right location for the script? I am determined to figure this out. I also noticed terminal emulator doesnt work for me, but andriod terminal emulator does.. Anyone got any ideas.. could it be a windows usb driver issue? Whats this ext4? and why cant I mount ext4 in clockworks, could that be the issue? I think I have every driver underthesun installed... Samsung epic Quantum Rom 2.7, 1 click root, tears on keyboard.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KellyLewis3985:
Have been working on this issue for some time with no progress. I think its all in the roms makeup IMO. Try Viper rom and report back.

Install Errors

I'm getting the same directory error messages that some others are getting during install. After looking at the scripts I noticed references to ext2. Could it be that my phone is ext4 and this is why it won't install? What if the scripts were edited to reflect ext4? I'm running SyndicateROM Frozen 1.0.1. Thanks for any help.

I've never used ubuntu or any version of linux. Installing this looks like it would really stretch my computing abilities.

Any idea?
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
The loop device appears to already be in use. I don't have a definite fix at the moment, but basically you need to change the ubuntu setup to use another loop device that isn't already in use. Any subsequent errors will probably clear up after that is fixed (no guarantees, but that's the first troubleshooting step)
[Epic 4G Android Development] xopher.hunter:
I am a little confused as to how this works, can I run this on top of srf 1.2 and use the genocide 2.0 kernel so I can dual boot this bad boy with another froyo rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
It's not a dual boot - that would entail only booting one OS at a time. This setup boots android as usual, then you start Ubuntu within Android, basically via a virtual machine (an emulator, essentially - that may not be entirely accurate, but close enough).

While it seems that this still has trouble, at least with some roms (configuration conflicts, maybe), if you can find two roms that it will work with AND that work with Genocide, then you could dual boot those roms and run Ubuntu from either one.

However, the rom that is booted from the SD card will likely run on the slow side (unless you have a high enough class of SD card), so running another OS on top of that would be either unbearably slow, or completely unusable.

Hopefully that helps clear things up a bit
