Touch Developer Preview Release Notes
General:
This is very alpha version of Ubuntu Touch. IT'S NOT READY FOR DAILY DRIVER. This is mainly for those curious souls like me to see how it runs on this relatively old device. There are and will be bugs.

All the rest that have helped to construct these builds and develop software for ace directly or indirectly in the past.
Gits:
http://phablet.ubuntu.com
local manifest
Changelogs:
None
Not working:
Apparently calls work in some degree
Data/3G
Camera
Screen on/off is a bit buggy (there's no timeout etc.)
Sound
If you plan to install more apps, space is a bit limited as it's using phone's internal memory instead of sdcard ext4 partition hack. There's approx. 200MB free in /data after extracting Ubuntu's rootfs.
Everything that I forgot / haven't noticed.
Prerequisites:
Have at least 1GB free on your sdcard prior flashing.
Have some experience at tinkering with your device. I won't be giving further step-by-step guidance as this is experimental thing, be a little experimental yourself.
7Zip and notepad++ (or equivalents) for updates from Ubuntu's mirror
Fresh installation instructions:
Want latest rootfs? Go to update instructions.
Download quantal-preinstalled-armel-ace-20130303.zip
Download quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf-20130303.zip
Download ubuntu-ppi-ace.zip
Put the files on sdcard.
Check that you meet the sdcard free space requirements.
Reboot to recovery.
Do factory reset (ie. format /data, /cache, /sd-ext and /sdcard/.android_secure)
Flash quantal-preinstalled-armel-ace-20130303.zip
Flash quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf-20130303.zip (this will take a while due two large extracting tasks)
Flash ubuntu-ppi-ace.zip
Reboot and enjoy.
Update installation instructions:
Download latest quantal-preinstalled-armel-ace-XXXXXXXX.zip (optional if you are just updating Ubuntu rootfs)
Download latest quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip
Download ubuntu-ppi-ace.zip
Open quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip with 7zip and go to META-INF\com\google\android\
Right-click updater-script and click Edit (make sure you have proper editor set as default, e.g. notepad++).
Do these changes to the script file: https://gist.github.com/Mustaavalkosta/5123952 (make sure you have correct timestamp instead of leaving XXXXXXXX in it) and save the file.
Close the editor and 7zip should ask you if you want to update the file in the zip. Of course select yes.
Put the files on sdcard.
Check that you meet the sdcard free space requirements.
Reboot to recovery.
Flash quantal-preinstalled-armel-ace-XXXXXXXX.zip (optional if you are just updating Ubuntu rootfs)
Flash quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip (this will take a while due two large extracting tasks)
Flash ubuntu-ppi-ace.zip
Reboot and enjoy.
Removal instructions:
Reboot to recovery
Restore nandroid or do factory reset and flash whatever you want.

Q&A:
Q: Can I flash KangBang perfomance kernel or some other kernel?
A: No, unless it includes required kernel changes.
Q: How can I build Ubuntu Touch myself?
A: Follow Ubuntu's guide and apply my local_manifest. Then just fix quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip's updater-script (see update instructions above) and you are good to go.
Q: How do I shutdown the device?
A: Pressing power button continuously for couple of seconds seems to switch it off but since there's zero userspace feedback about this happening I prefer the options below from Ubuntu's wiki.
Currently the power button does not work with recent kernels, so one of the following options must be run:
remove the battery and replace it
run adb reboot (will obviously reboot, not shutdown)
run "reboot -p" from the adb shell
Code:
adb root
*unplug the cable and replug it*
adb shell reboot -p
Q: Something about something something something.
A: Ask the guy/gal next to you.

i just tried thison my HTC One X+ and it looks and feels really good. Fast and responsive! I hope that the same goes for my baby (DHD/I4G).

I look forward to to try it! Thaaaaanks!

Re: [ROM][DEV] Ubuntu Touch Developer Preview [2013-03-03]
Will try it. Thak you for the effort you make for us DHD users. I hope this will become daily driver some day.

I just got wifi to work. You can add /system/etc/init.d/21bcmdhd script with something like "modprobe bcmdhd" in it or wait for me to upload updated build on top of the current one and reflash. I'll add edit to this post when it's available for download.
Edit: Re-upload done on quantal-preinstalled-armel-ace-20130303.zip. Just reflash it and you should have working wifi.

I do not believe it, but it works!
It is true that slow, slipped on the keyboard, but it works!
Although yet to issue a sound: D

Can I see a screen shots and some videos of this ROM

This is a dev preview so you'll get limited features, no music player, lack of customization of some widgets/apps etc.

wow seems promising.... reserved for the future

Wow!
Really nice!

Good to try

Re: [ROM][DEV] Ubuntu Touch Developer Preview [2013-03-03]
Never thought this would be comming

Wow! Thanks to the devs for porting this to our device! Now we just have to wait for the usable version/release in a "couple of weeks"... :fingers-crossed:

Well... I tested it. There seems to be a lot that's not working, but the basic interface works just fine. Nice to be able to try out the gestures and interface.

Try more like a couple of months since that is the time that the devs of the Ubuntu said it would take to get it fully working and then the devs for our DHD can have a go at it. Until then this is just a dev preview.
Also, very nice to see this OS ported to our device in such an early stage. Thanks Mustaavalkosta, hope you assemble a good team once this OS is out of development stage and I wish you have success in getting it to work on the DHD. :good::fingers-crossed:

i really want to see this on one s... -=D

/*
* This is a custom script designed to run on the US version
* of the Samsung Galaxy S3. Other phones are currently not
* supported. Follow the instructions carefully and do not cry
* to me about damaged devices. You are choosing to use the
* script and therefore accept the responsibilities
* of modifying your device.
*/
This script was originally written for use on the AxisM ROM, but I have modified it so that it works on all ROMs - both TouchWiz and AOSP. However, due to the robust error-checking in the script, only the US versions of the Samsung Galaxy SIII are supported. While the script does work perfectly well on the US SGS3, it may not fully work on all ROMs. This is partly due to some ROMs having an extreme amount of mods in the framework that inadvertently break the integrity of the files. Note that app integrity is not always a bad thing, it just means that apps and scripts that require framework integrity simply will not work. Currently there is no way to fix the integrity of a file by use of a script, so if you have a broken app, there is nothing I can do at this point. The next step would be for you to contact the developer of your ROM and have them correctly modify the apps and jar files to ensure capability.
NOTE: AxisM users, do not flash this script. The one included in the ROM has more features that are ROM specific. This script is just for anyone else to use on any other ROM.
The available choices in this script are as follows (this list will be updated with every release):
Clean cache (RAM boost)
Enable zRAM
Clean SQlite database files
Zipalign applications
Fix permissions
Odex
A quick note about zRAM
zRAM is a Linux kernel module that basically allows for real-time compression of memory objects that are in RAM/memory. This essentially makes it possible for the RAM to hold more apps in memory which may potentially == greater performance. Unfortunately, no known kernel on the US SGS3 currently supports zRAM, but when one pops up, this script will be available to initialize and optimize the feature.​
STEPS TO INSTALL
Download one of the attached Axis_Shell packages and move it to your SD card
Boot into recovery
Flash the Axis_Shell package
Reboot
STEPS TO USE
You can use this script either from within your phone or via ADB Shell. To use the script from your phone you must have a terminal emulator app in which you will type the following lines one by one:
Code:
su
axis
If using ADB Shell just type:
Code:
adb shell
axis

Sorry guys, I just uploaded a new version to the OP. I tested it and it works
Just a note, I did remove odex for the time being because I discovered an error within the script. It will be re-added when I work out the kinks.

Damn that's exactly what I wanted lol oh well guess it's time to flash axis 19

I don't know if this is a bug in the script but when I'm done using the script and want to go back to the terminal (using terminal emulator app btw) I type "e" for exit like it says but it doesn't exit the script and go back to the terminal, it just starts the script over.

Ubuntu Touch
How to install
First if your data partition is F2FS you must change it to EXT4
Also i recommanded to use TWRP.
Flash on you device,
1. Download boot.img, system.zip (extract it), rootstock-ng-master.zip and device_falcon_devel.tar.xz
2. Reboot the device into fastboot mode
3. Flash boot.img
Code :
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
4. Boot the device back to recovery
5. Wait until adb has started (use "adb devices" to check if it has started)
6. Wipe system, cache and data partition
7. Flash ubuntu root system and system.img using rootstock installer
Code:
Code:
./rootstock-touch-install ubports-touch.rootfs-armhf.tar.gz system.img --custom device_falcon_devel.tar.xz
8. After that it may boot ubuntu.
How change data partition
1. Reboot your phone to recovery mode
2. use TWRP to change data partition
3. To be sure that your partion is changed install any custom rom
If you want use Ubuntu Touch with android, then just install any custom rom without wipe data partition, and just run this command in fastboot mode to start ubuntu
Code:
fastboot boot boot.img
Sim is detected but no carrier, so no calls and data.
No Sound and its very laggy because of low ram, hopefully it will be more smooth using https://halium.org.
Thanks to walidham who made it run on moto titan.

Good Work!
Ps. just a question: after i install it, can i come back to lineageos (for example) without problem? Can yuo post a guide to do it?

Just do a rom install without wiping data on top of ubport.
fastbooting the ubport kernel should bring you back to linux while normal boot is loading android.

Hi @sub77
I am a coder and an android and Linux fan. I wanted to port Ubuntu touch to falcon since long but there were no tutorials for android versions >4.4.
I have a moto g and own a moto g4 plus too. I would like to port this Ubuntu touch to Moto g4 plus with your help and hopefully learn a lot.
Can you help me and point me to relevant tutorials to get me started?
Thanks!

Are you using halium?

Help meeeeeeeeeee
Hi sub77,
Can I have your help in this step please, when you say ( ./ ) you mean it must be done from Linux like Ubuntu? Or can I install it from Windows?

Introduction:
We can all agree with the fact that the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) is one of the most important tools when it comes to developing for android, uninstalling bloatware, flashing recoveries, flashing custom roms, and changing the way our Android devices work entirely. However, if you want ADB you have to download the entire SDK just to use a few files. Well this tool solves this issue. Entirely based on and inspired by Snoop05's 15 Seconds ADB Installer, this tool includes a few features he was planning on adding but never got around to adding. This is the 15 Seconds ADB Installer Reborn!
Features:
Built-in Updater - A powerful and stable built-in updater insures you with the latest updates for ADB/Fastboot, the installer itself, and Google Drivers.
Compact and Light - Coming in at only 10MB the installer is light, portable, reliable, and powerful!
Unique UI - Instead of being text based the UI is interactive via buttons.
Safe and Reliable - Programmed in pure batch, and being open source you can view the code at anytime!
Downloads:
Version 1.0 - Download - Mirror #1 - Mirror #2
Version 2.0 - Download - Mirror #1 - Mirror #2
Installation instructions:
To install download the latest version from the links below and launch it (You will need Administrative rights to install). From here all you have to do is follow the instructions given by the installer to install ADB/Fastboot, and Google Drivers.
Changelog:
Version 2.0
Merged updater with main script.
Improved updates UI.
Improved update speed.
Improved main menu UI.
Added the option to skip installing ADB if you want to install drivers only.
Added toast notifications to update UI.
Fixed bug that caused installing adb to hang.
Added an "About" page.
Fixed an issue where the XDA Forum button was redirecting to the wrong forum.

reserved for future edit.

Thanks a lot!

No problem! Hope you enjoy the new tool! Have a fantastic day friend!

So a while back I installed minimal adb, worked great for about 10 min because the program I was using at the time wouldn't work with that adb library. So began a journey of getting different versions of adb and in doing so my %PATH% was starting to get a little embarrassing. So one day I decided to clean it up by misclicking and deleting the entire entry... Since that day I was unable to get ADB/Fastboot working 100%. It worked but would just give errors all over saying stupid things like ADB not found and such even though all the commands worked. I tried multiple installers, cleaners and spend hours adding entries to my user and system environment settings... I just happened to see this today and figured what the heck, it can't get much worse so ill try it... seconds later I can now use ADB without having to write extra command line crap to ignore/silence errors. The funny part though is everything this does I had done manually but somehow it worked with this....
Thanks I appreciate it

Great tool and packaging.
Actually very clever usage of batch features, I didn't know buttons could be emulated in that way.
Is this installer available also on github?

Thanks! The button aspect actually isn't a native batch feature, the buttons are injected into cmd through the use of C# and a few hybrid batch files.
Unfortunately, the installer isn't available on Github... but I can add it if you'd like.

agreed, but that may be hard, because Google doesn't give direct links, you have to accept ToS before downloading. So manually is the next best option.

Well the installer is a script basically, it pulls files from gdrives but I don't think those are current. I'm sure there is a way to download the latest from google direcly and install it, but my scripting skills haven't reached that stage as yet.

Ubuntu Touch
First things first, this rom is not android based and this build is in pre-alpha stage, in short it's not meant to be your daily driver, you may face many bugs..
Ubuntu Touch (also known as Ubuntu Phone) is a mobile version of the Ubuntu operating system that was originally developed by Canonical Ltd. and is now being developed by the UBports community.
Code:
#include <std_disclaimer.h>

* We are not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,

* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications and if
* you point the finger at us for messing up your device, we will laugh at you. Hard & a lot.

Issues
https://github.com/ubports/porting-notes/wiki/Xiaomi-Redmi-Note-4(X)-(xiaomi-mido)
Note: The reason I didn't fix these and post the ROM was because of demand by some users to try out the ROM, these issues will be fixed in the later builds
Instructions
It is STRONGLY recommended to fully wipe your device before flashing and please avoid restoring system apps and system data with Titanium Backup (or with any backup/restore app) as this can cause stability issues that are very hard to debug, restoring regular apps is fine though.
If you believe you know what you're doing - then fine, go ahead, but please don't complain if you experience any strange behavior.
How to flash for the first time:
(Again: Don't do it if you don't know!)
1. Boot to recovery (TWRP recommended).
2. Wipe the System, Cache, and Data (and format the data partition!).
3. Download the ROM and transfer it to your device.
4. Flash the ROM Zipfile.
5. Reboot your device.
6. A password prompt may come once its started and the password is "a" , you can change the password using the terminal, typing "passwd" and change the password (as in any Linux system)

There was a scaling issue it seems, so i could only upload the links to the images, sorry for that

Fantastic. Will be keeping my eye on this one. This project and PureOS are a refreshing break from the Android ecosystem.

Just installed. Everything seems to work besides listed issues.

It will show the error about data partition and also show no OS installed, did you try to reboot after flashing? Also do format and wipe system, data, dalvik and cache (not just wipe). I used twrp. The errors are normal, It should boot to Ubuntu touch

Welcome

Great news to be able to use ubuntu touch in mido I will try to see how it goes although I know it is a pre-alpha version

Nice! Everything works good a part from listed issue! This is so good, do you think I can use it with DualBootPatcher?

Thanks! Works fine for me.

Happy to know

Thanks for the port bro! It works well!
However, when i compiled your code from 'ubports-mido' (Dev Branch). I am not able to boot. It crashes once and then on reboot, it gets stuck at ubuntu loading logo. May I kindly know which branch you use for device, kernel and vendor? Any other specific instructions to build?
I would love to contribute!
In between, the device gets mis-recognized as desktop, instead of handset. Because a configuration file in '/etc/ubuntu-touch-session.d/mido.conf' is missing. Creating it with following values:
GRID_UNIT_PX=22
QTWEBKIT_DPR=2.3
NATIVE_ORIENTATION=portrait
FORM_FACTOR=handset

fixes the display scaling issues.
You can also integrate this in the ubuntu folder in device tree itself to fix the issue. Maybe I can create a pull request?
Last, Where can we create issue and track them? It would be nice if you could enable Github Issues for this project 'ubports-mido/android_device_xiaomi_mido' maybe?
Thanks!
