[Nook Color Android Development] Link3737:
I figured it was something like that. I'm still fairly new to linux systems myself :rolleyes:

Looking forward to your fix, as always.

Side questions: Is there a way to install the touch driver that wouldn't break the symlink? And how did you manage to chroot this install on your nook? Mine can't seem to find the second partition of the SD.
[Nook Color Android Development] devastatorx:
Working on a burnable image now. Should have a new thread up in a few hours for those that wish to beta test and develop on. As far as the the filesystem image I posted earlier, I would just hold out for the image I should be posting tonight.
[Nook Color Android Development] devastatorx:
Progress:

Touchscreen works

Able to connect to unsecured wireless network

Currently working on the interface to make it usable for the nook...well its usable...but its kind of a pain at the moment.

So here is what I am looking at:

A few more hours to test and tweak a few things, write a howto, and then upload everything.

The files should be available tonight!

That's right, ubuntu booting from the SD with wifi and touch screen (both thanks to penkia for the wifi and touchscreen fixes!)

Will be back soon (couple hours) with a link to the download and instructions. This will be a pre-alpha release and evolve (hopefully, and with the help of anyone who wants to contribute) into alpha, beta, and stable point releases.

Also, if the image is too big for the free servers, is anyone willing to host? PM if this would be a possibility.

Thanks

ubuntu 11 with the unity interface on a nook color running at 1.3 GHz etc etc... the future is exciting :o but so's the present, looking forward to seeing the first build :) thanks for your hard work
[Nook Color Android Development] LinuxOnNook:
The anticipation is killing me :D
[Nook Color Android Development] amp711:
looking forward to this release as well!

All in good time, all this work is done on somebody's free time. Itll make it's way out eventually.
[Nook Color Android Development] devastatorx:
My bad people. I've just been really slammed with work lately so my time dedicated has been pretty choppy at best. Have a few hosting options now ironing out a few things and will have a link for download by tomorrow evening. My apologies.

Don't apologize! You're doing this out of the greatness of your own free time. And we appreciate whatever time you have to put into this. Thank you and looking forward to this as well.

P.S. Oh, yeah, take your time, but hurry up!!!! :D

Thanks,

[Nook Color Android Development] amp711:
+1 for taking the time.

How would you say performance is? Will there be an option to run it from the internal memory?
[Nook Color Android Development] jay084:
This may be a stupid question, but does flash work in this modified version of Ubuntu?
[Nook Color Android Development] Link3737:
No, it will not. I don't believe Flash has a linux release for the arm architecture, Android aside obviously.

Uploading the newest release now, this bumps nookbuntu from alpha to beta. The NookBuntu thread will be updated in an hour or so with pics (cellphone pics...no screen shot tool atm), changes, whats working and whats not, what can be expected in future releases, our dev team members (thank all of them!), bugs, and so forth...with out much further ado the nookbuntu dev team proudly presents NookBuntu Beta 0.3!

Does this work on other tablets too? Like the Streak 7? I used to run Debian on my G1 which I was gonna try on my tablet, but maybe a diff build is better here, so I am checking. =)
[Nook Color Android Development] SCrid2000:
I can't seem to get this to work... and before anyone asks, I'm following the instructions in the OP to the t :p

I keep getting this screen:

Anyone have any advice?
[Nook Color Android Development] Jotokun:
This guide was written for the stock nook firmware, not other roms like Cyanogenmod or honeycomb. Unfortunate, since I would love to have a working Ubuntu from Android as well. With Dalingrin's kernel and a USB keyboard/mouse this could be really awesome.
[Nook Color Android Development] SCrid2000:
Ah duh, of course - thanks man, I was going nuts trying to figure this out.

Hm, perhaps I'll flash the 1.2 rom from here and give this another go if I get bored tomorrow.
[Nook Color Android Development] whereiszack:
Is it dead?

Haven't seen any activity from the developer in a while. Is this project dead? It would be awesome if more savvy people wanted to help make this a full-blown, fully-functional OS for the NC. I personally would use it over CM7.
[Nook Color Android Development] martinezjavier:
Work is being made to have a fully functional Linux kernel for the Nook. Look at this Meego ARM wiki.

I personally want to install Meego on my NC, others developers are interested in installing Fedora. Once a Linux kernel is available for the Nook, you can install any Linux distro that has an ARM port.
[Nook Color Android Development] martinezjavier:
Sorry I can't post links since I have less than 8 posts and could be a spamer hahaha

Just search on google: nook color arm wiki
[Nook Color Android Development] SCrid2000:
You mean this? http://wiki.meego.com/ARM/Nook_Color
[Nook Color Android Development] martinezjavier:
Yes, that one thank you very much for posting the link. 4 more posts and I won't be suspicious of being a spamer anymore :)
[Nook Color Android Development] donnyevo4g:
Hey guys i installed ubuntu no problem on my nook and have it up and running but nothing will open so i pretty much have a useless ubuntu on my nook lol has anyone come across this if so how did you fix it? i even tryed running the commands again up til apt-get update and still no beans
[Nook Color Android Development] donnyevo4g:
now i have another problem i restarted my nook and vnc wont work now it keeps giving me a connection error WTF
[Nook Color Android Development] honeycombgoodyeahyeahyeah:
What if we use qemu to run a virtual ubuntu install instead?
[Nook Color Android Development] donnyevo4g:
what you mean by that?
[Nook Color Android Development] honeycombgoodyeahyeahyeah:
I mean what if we compile qemu (http://wiki.qemu.org/Main_Page) for the Nook color (it as already been ported to android but i cant get it to run on my nook) then boot an Ubuntu image? Im sure it would work its just a matter of compiling the source.
[Nook Color Android Development] jago25_98:
Might this work the same for the simple touch eink nook? I believe the two devices are similar... But similar enough.

I am right in thinking that this running off the sd card, thus very friendly for hacking, right?

I was going to post that picture here, but someone beat me to it.
[G Tablet General] hdomingu:
Where did you get the decal? not the android but the carbon fiber?
[G Tablet General] undyingsum:
I got it from here:

http://www.gotshadeonline.com/products-page/tablets/viewsonic-g-tablet/carbon-fiber-skin-g-tablet/

Someone posted it in one thread in the accessory section. The company has them custom cut for our gtabs. I believe it was done using a computer so it fits perfectly and you dont need to worry about trimming it down like if u bought a large sheet of it. It was easy to apply and adds some more grip to the device.
[G Tablet General] Dbon12:
That is too funny!!!
[G Tablet General] undyingsum:
I wanted to make sure it didn't get mistaken for an iPad :P
[G Tablet General] cuzzinz:
I am glad I saw this. Might have to pick one up. Then make my own decal to stick over it like yours
[G Tablet General] aaron19953:
Haha, i was waiting for that... We make them, and. yes they are computer cut and i made them fit as tight as possiable.. (damn O.C.D. haha)

So should i start cutting an apple with the big "no" symbol through it ??.. I think so... Which makes my life more fun because the owner is an Apple drone...

hey guys

kindly make one windows phone 7 rom for fuze......

plzzzz

thanks in advance.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] CzarnyRafal:
WP 7 will not work on Fuze!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] rohanbhatia_1987:
whats the requirement....??

y it wont work......

atleast our seniour members are doing so much in developing...

so they can give a try atleast......

:)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Major A:
Damn, it has been repeated numerous time. WP7 kernel needs ARMv7 codepath and extensions, and you can't recompile a closed source kernel. MSM7200 belongs to ARMv6 family ; end of the story, end of the discussion.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] masry60:
exuce me you angry man wp7 is ported succefully to the leo and why cant it ported to the raphael i know the story of the ce kernel but if it is ported to leo and why cant it be ported

i know that there is a huge diffrence between cpu's
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Farmer Ted:
It can't be ported because no one has drivers or kernel modules that are WP7 compatible for the fuze (among a host of reasons). It's not going to happen. It works on the Leo because the HD7 has nearly identical hardware as the Leo. There are no WP7 devices out there that use the same hardware (now well outdated) that the fuze uses.

Closing this thread (crap, I'm not a mod here).
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mmuntean2:
No way!

WP7 cannot be ported to TP due to hardware requirements. Wouldn't you think that if this generation of phones would have supported WP7, the HD2 for example would have been granted an update to WP7???

So if u want a WP7 phone, fetch a new one.

[G2 and Desire Z General] Frostie123:
A few weeks ago when I connected my Desire Z to my car and turned on USB storage, my car would read the files with no problems. But now all of a sudden (I'm not sure if I did anything) it won't read it at all. The USB charge on it is fine though. I tried playing around with options and still nothing. I used my old phone and it worked fine with its own microSD and well as the microSD inside the Desire Z so it can't be the card. USB storage does work fine on the computer though.

Can anyone help me? I really want to play music and love CyanogenMod. I posted this on the CyanogenMod forum as well.

Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Kabutto:
What headunit are you using?

I tried connecting my dz to a Sony xplodsomething , and nothing happened, cept charge. I then turned off the usb debugging mode, and then the head unit displayed "error" . so much for that..
[G2 and Desire Z General] dhkr123:
Try doing it REAL FAST. This is probably a timeout problem. The car is probably expecting it to be there right away.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Frostie123:
I LOVE YOU! That works. I was having serious OCD that it wasn't working anymore. It's kind of a challenge touch screening the USB storage on thing while going into USB mode, but it's all good ;)
[G Tablet General] Skempo:
I know this has been asked before but searching the forums has resulted in nothing.

I am running a stock gtab only with the tnt enhancement pack. All is running very well, it seems to perform very well for what I do with it. Web brousing, checking emails, etc. I have yet to have any kind of FC, or failures.

So what benefits are there to using a custom ROM?
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
Its just a different look. If your happy stay with what you have. If you want to check the others roms please install clockwork recovery and backup your current setup. Makes switching back if you don't like it much easier

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyleds:
hey guys,

I'm looking for a good black silicone case for the S. I came across http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/tech-21-silicone-case-for-google-nexus-s-black-p27176.htm this one but I was wondering if anyone tried it and if it had that same problem as the one my friend had with the space behind it ( dont really wanna stuff the case just so it doesn't move in the case)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] englefield:
I use one of these with the Nexus S and its pretty good. Its made out of that new d30 material that was on Dragons Den, absorbs most of the shock if you drop the phone. The guy on there had his iphone in one and was throwing it around the room and then showing it had no damage (shame :) I haven't thrown the nexus S around with it on but it feels quite robust.

There is no space behind the phone, its a tight fit so dont worry about that. Also its got that nice smooth material feel to it where its a bit slidey in your hand, not so much you might drop it but slippy all the same.

My only quibble with this case is that it picks up fluff and dust very easily. It wipes off easy enough but its still a pain in the arse to do every time its been in your pocket which if like mine are full of fluff and other crap :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] booyakasha:
Anyone tried this pouch?

I like the idea of being able to have it protected while its away, but also still enjoy a free device while using it. How is the bulk on the case Tech 21 makes?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slowz3r:
I would love to have a sleeve/pouch and i would love a pouch like that, but where can a case like that be found here in the US, fancy molecules and all
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:

do they have more colours to choose from, black is boring and that website is not very friendly, as it doesn't provide enough information about the item
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] booyakasha:
I'm not convinced they wouldn't ship it here. It would be expensive, but they might do it.

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] piercewei:
what is the major advantages in comparison to LP and AWD ex?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] msprahalad:
Hi pls post apk of the power widget.

Thanx in advance:)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] divine3155:
well i have tried this home launcher. it is kinda cool.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] speeee:
The major advantages would be the ability to create your own docks that can be shown/hidden with a single touch

the docks can contain links icons text and other widgets,

and i think with perseverance you can create docks that can contain more buttons which in turn can open more docks

its all a little complex to , but i really do recommend having a play about with it and keeping an eye on its market release

I am not able to connect my phone to the PC at the moment but the Widget is called switch pro Note as well the background for it is controlled by sweeterhome
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] raihansazal:
Really a nice launcher & a lot of themes available.

BTW which one are you using now in the pic ????

Thanks for sharing..
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] PollPixx:
please share which theme you are using, it looks awesome!
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] qwer23:
+1

Also, is the clock beautiful widget or something different?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] speeee:
The clock is The X10's default digital clock app with the 1x1 beautiful weather widget, I've recently changed this so when you click the weather the 4x1 widget shows up underneath it (this keeps getting cooler and cooler)

my theme can be found under Spee_Simple on the themes menu
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] svtfmook:
it's cool, but seriously over thought out.

customization is mind blowing, but so little tutorials and no explanations make it nearly impossible to make your own theme.

downloadable themes never work on the x10 due to our semcphonebook. so none of the shortcuts actually work.

looks cool, seems cool, great idea, but way to over whelming
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] qwer23:
it's very powerful when you begin to understand. Drove me crazy yesterday, but you can easily relink the shortcuts to x10 phonebook and add a lot more cool stuff. Am totally happy with it right now. It's the only homescreen where you can sort, show and hide widgets with a single button.

I actually reduced my homescreen to one screen. For example winamp, soundhound and youtube widgets simply disappear when I'm not on the "multimedia" tile ;) It's the same with contacts, messages, recent calls, facebook and so on. really great stuff! Will post pics as soon as I'm home ^^
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] svtfmook:
i'm sure it's great. i know i would like it since you have so much control over the content. but i tried downloading a theme. found out that none of the shortcuts worked. so i tried modifying it. only 1 layer would show in edit mode, so i googled around to find out how to edit/create themes, nothing found. so i tried creating my own theme. after 20 minutes, i finally got 1 box created with the time and date. gave up, took way too long just to create a theme and i really didn't know what else i could/wanted to do with it.

there's such little documentation and discussion on it that it's virtually impossible for a regular user to just download it and start using it.

that's where sweeterhome's short coming is. golauncher, adw, zeam, lpp, they are all similar in a sense that they act-react the same as the stock launcer. so even if you can't find info on them, you get the gest of how to use them. sweeterhome is different, large learning curve and little documentation.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] speeee:
I have updated the first post with a quick guide of what ive learnt so far, ill keep adding to it as i learn more, i hope it can be of some help to anyone

svtfmook - if you long press on the screen you have the option to select items that are hidden under layers (at the bottom of the longpress menu)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] qwer23:
I understand most of the basics and like my customization quite well, but I wasn't able to do one thing:

how can I create a springboard, that enables one tray and disables another one at the same time? To explain what I want to do: I want to create a big clock in the free space of my homescreen, which is on by default. But when I for example press "messages", the clock should disappear and the (transparent) message box should appear right there. Sounds quite easy but I didn't find an option to "disable on press". Is this possible?

Another thing I find quite annoying in Sweeterhome: you cannot swipe when there's an object. My screen is quite filled with springboards, which makes it difficult to change screen :mad:

Everything else is just fine, and I'm amazed that Sweeterhome doesn't lag although my homescreen is filled with widgets multiple times :D

edit: my homescreen right now:

http://img819.imageshack.us/slideshow/webplayer.php?id=screenshot10d.png

it's pretty much a predesigned theme from the market, but all the shortcuts and springboards had to be fixed since none of them work on x10.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] x10i DauL:
I can confirm qwer23´s statement when you want to change the screen. I really hate this. I need about 5-10 times to change screen -.-

regards
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] kevjef420:
Ok, what you ask is possible. first what you have to do is put the clock on a low layer like 1. Then make a picture on layer 2 that fills the whole screen that matches your wallpaper (or dont even use wallpaper just just full screen pictures like i do. Then in the spring boards that you are using to open your custom tray, use it also to open the picture thus covering layer 1 and making your clock disappear.

You just need to experiment. there is a lot that this home replacement can do.

For instance, you can have one spring board that opens 4 other spring boards simultaneousnessly then each one of these can control certain menus or folders and widgets. then from within each one of these you can have it so clicking each spring boards will either close all other boards or keep them open depending on the group that you lable them in.

i encourage anyone to give this home replacement more then a 20 minute try because it takes a while to figure everything out. I wish the the developer would make a tutorial on how to take full advantage this.

one word of advice. don't bother using any of the themes that you can download because they are set for other phone with other defaults and other programs and widgets and they will not work properly on your phone. just go to edit and start a new one from scratch.

it takes a while to get what you want. for example if you want a custom icon there are 2 ways to get this. first you can create a picture containing the icon you want and then create a custom drawer, exit edit mode then long press that drawer to add the icon from a list of your apps. then go back into edit mode. edit the custom drawer to lock so you can not add more apps or remove this on. then edit icon style and change icon blending to clear so it is invisable thus only showing the icon picture you added the first time. blahhhh... sounds like a lot of work. well it is.

the other way is to use desktop visualizer. create a widget with the one you want and then it is done.

be patient and give it a try. here is a theme that i created.

first is the home screen, press the android and it opens a spring board to other spring boards with commonly used apps and widgets. second is my app drawer, this is the bottom screen. swipe up and it brings you here, back button returns to home screen. the last is the just more folders and stuff. i plan to do more but it takes time.

hope this helps anyone who is willing to give sweeter home a try.
