No , what is the benefit of this app ? and how to get it ?
[XPERIA X8 General] romcio47:
No no! I don't recommend it because in my case it caused random and very long LAGS when waking up the phone and even when I was playing the game or doing anything else so I thought you had the same problem.
[XPERIA X8 General] TarekSaber:
Maybe i should rephrase my question , the only thing that hangs is the touch screen, not the the three button below, "back key -menu key -home key" works when I press any one of them

but nothing in the touch screen response to any of my clicks for at least a minute
[XPERIA X8 General] TarekSaber:
I sent the phone to SE dealer and the problem solved by changing the software of the device and it works perfectly now , thanks for all you guys for helping

I bought mine at RS for $449. Is it locked or unlocked? I guess I can borrow a Tmobile sim card but it may be easier to get an answer here :-)
[HTC Inspire 4G] klquicksall:
It will be locked.

[HTC Inspire 4G] laxwillsch:
Yes it is definitely locked I bought mine from rs also but if you follow the hack kit instructions which just looks scary and hard but actually is pretty straight forward you will be sim unlocked. I was totally a noob when it came to HTC and after a little help making the gold card I found it fairly easy to follow the steps. Plus there's a YouTube video now

Just make sure to use the Samsung card that came with the device for your gold card and use the mmc2 number. Get the mmc2 number from the app gold card helper.

Hey guys,

I've got ubuntu running flawlessly in terminal but have noticed something kooky in gnome. Regardless of permissions (ls -l or through the gui) every directory/file is read only.

Popping open a terminal IN gnome, however, lets me do whatever I should be able to.

Any ideas?

Another question: How was the initial img created? Something like rootstock? I'd be very interested in having a go myself.

Cheers!

Edit: Just thought of something worth noting, files can be downloaded and saved in arbitrary locations via firefox in gnome. Really curious as to why creating folders/documents isn't possible.

or do I need a kernel with loopback?
[Desire HD Android Development] kendong2:
depends, if you use the method with the rootfs on the ext partition you don't need loopback. for the method described in the first post you do need loopback support in kernel. iirc the GB kernel doesn't have it.

I've got an Inspire 4G (same as Desire HD basically) running the latest MIUI (2.3 GB) rom w/ Cattleprod's Kernel (modded CM7 Kernel). I can run the script successfully and everything but when trying to run "bootubuntu" I get all these errors about directories not found. I do not get any errors about loop devices however. I've looked in /dev/block/ for the available loop folders and I have a range from loop1 - loop7, so I modified my bootubuntu file for "loop8" and it still did not work, in fact I received a totally different error - something in regards to a statement expecting "then".

I'm at a loss as to why this isn't working for me. This supposedly works for CM7 so I figured having a kernel based on CM7 would work as well. Any help is much appreciated guys.

Thanks!

+1 for download mirror. My college IT is amazing. So amazing in fact that they refuse to allow wireless access points in your room while only allowing a single wired device and single wireless device on the network. Their amazingness goes further still to not allow torrents of any kind, including legal ones like this. There is actually a script built into our Cisco NAC server that all the data flows through that autobans anyone who tries to run a torrent. It truly is a great college experience...to go to a school in the self-proclaimed "technological capital of the South" and not even be able to run my phone and laptop on the same network, much less download Ubuntu torrents. -sighs- I'd use Swarm on my phone but we pretty much got beaten black and blue by tornadoes the other day so my local tower has been having connectivity issues. So...if anyone can add a mirror then I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks guys!

Increasing Available Disk Space

For those wanting more available disk space in Ubuntu on their Android I just successfully increased from 2Gb to 3Gb by doing this:

$ sudo fsck.ext3 -f ubuntu.img

$ sudo resize2fs ubuntu.img 3G

This was based on:

Hey all, i have downloaded all files, and followed tutorial through, but i am still having issues after this point

7. Type the following commands (all are case-sensitive!):
“cat > x” (enter)
“rm -r -f /tmp” (enter)
“mkdir /tmp” (enter)
“chmod 777 /tmp” (enter)
“export USER=root” (enter)
“export XKL_XMODMAP_DISABLE=1” (enter)
“vncserver -geometry 1024x800” (enter)
(enter)
(At this point you will need to configure "vol-" as Ctrl in Android terminal emulator preferences)
(Now hold volume down and press D on your keypad)
“chmod 777 x” (enter)
8. The above procedure makes a script named “x”, whenever you want to start GUI, you need to type “x” (enter).
Notice that the first time (only the first time) you run “x” script you'll be prompt to enter a password for VNC connection, then you'll be asked whether to create a “view-only” password, since it is not necessary, answer “n” to the question.

when ever i try to run "x" i get the below error message

/bin/x: line 6: vncserver: command not found

any help would be appreciated guys.

[Desire HD Android Development] Ditti4:
You can use UNITY V6 kernel.

It's working perfect for me.

Here's the link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1050106

If this is not working, have you tried to use the default kernel?

Try using this command:

mknod /dev/loop20 b 7 20

If you get an error, you don't have a kernel with loop support. Just get UNITY V6.

If it's working, you can use your actual kernel.

i get the error "rm failed for -f, no suchfile or directory ... 3 times after that it is wrote there type bootubuntu to boot ubuntu ... and after i give the comand at the end it says losetup: /dev/block/loop1: device or resurce busy .. what is happening?? the files are on the sdcard i ve checked that and on the right directory

i will try to put an screenshot
[Desire HD Android Development] Ditti4:
I had the same problem, then I read the solution in the internet.

There are two ways:

Edit the bootubuntu.

Find the line I've posted above only with "loop1"and replace loop1 with loop99 and the last number the same (1 -> 99) and run ubuntu.sh again

OR

Push all apps you've got on SD to phone memory and reboot phone.

To say something 'bout " rm failed for -f, no suchfile or directory":

You can ignore this, it's just to remove a previous version of the scripts. ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] radu_filip17:

Where's your ubuntu.img placed?

/sdcard/ubuntu/ubuntu.img ?
[Desire HD Android Development] radu_filip17:
yes as the tutorial says

look here the original bootubuntu and ubuntu.sh

http://www.girlshare.ro/2618580.8
[Desire HD Android Development] Ditti4:
Okay, I attached the file.

Instructions:

Unpack the zip to /sdcard/ubuntu and replace the old one.

I suggest to make a backup of the old one.

Then, as always ( ;) ), go to terminal again, cd to /sdcard/ubuntu and run ubuntu.sh again.

Then try to boot running bootubuntu.

Let me know about the everything. :)
[Desire HD Android Development] radu_filip17:

But I don't really know how would perform such heavy interface.

PS: If you need a mirror or FTP account for this project, let me know !
[Desire HD Android Development] Ditti4:
The biggest difference is, that this project is running on top of Android, do you can just use your Android as usual.

The other project is for the "hard" ones.

It's a replacement operating system, so you just got Ubuntu or Android, you gotta choose.

And if I need any help, I'll inform you guys on this thread
[Desire HD Android Development] houzuoguo:
by the way, I later discovered this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=962023

It works flawlessly and most applications are able to run.

I originally thought the Linux oom killer might have killed the resource consuming Ubuntu apps, but I later figured out the problem: my start-up script did not configure dbus properly (in fact, not et al). DBus is vital for many Ubuntu applications to run.

Regarding the loop device error. I'd suggest using a very high loop device number, such as loop255 (as used in the script from the link above).

The easy way of getting Ubuntu on your phone is chroot. Try some apps from the market ;)

Chroot?

What's it?

Please say more about it.

Tnx
[Desire HD Android Development] ILA:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chroot

I'm talking about chroot jail. It means that for Ubuntu the root folder wouldn't be android's root folder but a locked in environment. Now this means that you can't use ubuntu to browse files outside of that chroot folder.

As for the market apps that allow you to do this, here are a few, but if you search you might find some more... ;)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.meefik.linuxdeploy&feature=search_result

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.galoula.LinuxInstall&feature=search_result

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zpwebsites.linuxonandroid&feature=search_result

I've tried the "Complete Linux Installer" and it works fine just don't install full unity ubuntu but the "lde" one as unity is pretty resource heavy... ;)

Also there is this way:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipU2h1u5Ehw

...and this guy explains a bunch of ways how to get linux onto your android just search him on the youtube ;)
