Any chance of porting the Honeycomb 3.0 ROM from the Xoom to the G Tablet? Similar chipset (Tegra) and specs....
hopefully
I think we will see it before to long!
I would guess shortly after someone gets their hands on a xoom.
Asked and answered many times. please use the search.

God damn it, saw the thread title and got my hopes up. You jerk.
Is there a chance? Yep. How much of a chance? Don't know.

It's insane to me that people just can't seem to understand how forums work... Read first, post second. You are now the latest in a long line of people that have asked the exact same question. I'm not trying to bust balls here, but if you actually want the answer to your question a quick forum search would have done the job. Instead we have a useless thread....

Source Code should be coming soon
Since Moto wanted to keep the XOOM as legendary as possible (The UBER Official First Tab with a Honeycomb ROM) I say we should see a system dump/source dump coming juuuuuuust a little bit after that.

LOL...it's a bit funny that you're busting his balls when you have 5% of the total posts as him. I'd guess that he does know how to use the forums. That said, it was pretty lame to post without looking first!
Not to perpetuate this lame thread, BUT this is a good place for my question, I suppose. Don't you all think that Motorola is going to lock down the Xoom pretty tight? I don't know much about porting a new ROM, but I'm guessing it's not going to be a slam dunk.

I think you are right.
Hey Robeet, exactly what is it you need from the Zoom? I work for a little companey that I will have the device in my hands shortly to play with. Anything I can do to help will be more than happy. Im not sure how to do a dump, but tell me what you need and I will do my best.

Has anyone taken the system images from the SDK and tried to cwm them onto the gtab?
I'll be trying this today..
The reason why I'm not too worried is,
1. CWM Backups are your friend!
2. Honeycomb was designed for the Tegra2 proc right? Xoom = T2 proc.. so most of the drivers should work, hopefully. (except the sd card, camera, etc..)
3. I didn't pay for my Gtab..
EDIT: Ok.. that didn't go so well. Reboot loop.. trying a new boot.img

Go to notioninkhacks.com they are close to having a rom they need two files. There isa post on front page read it andcontact them.
Forget the Xoom port, I want the Honeycomb AOSP. CM usually gets them earlier than anyone so I'm assuming a CM Honeycomb base will come out two weeks after the Xoom gets released. After the Honeycomb base, then Roebeet, Rothic, Gojimi, and (fingers crossed) Bekit can start cooking!
CM doesn't get access to AOSP earlier than anyone else. Android Open Source Project is what AOSP means and is available whenever Google releases the source to open source and pushes it to androids github repository.
Once the " Honeycomb" branch is pushed we can start seeing real progress...though proper drivers also need to be released from nvidia.
I suspect a Xoom port will be available before an AOSP built rom is.

The images from the sdk are built for the emulator and not the tegra 2 CPU...that is a big reason why it hasn't been "ported" already like it was for the nook color.

HERE IS THE LEAKED CHINESE ROM FOR THE HTC SENSATION/PYRAMID .. if anyone is daring enough .. this leak also includes the new HTC Sense 3.0
So, if there are any takers in regards to trying to PORT the HTC Sense 3.0 over for our Inspires .. go for it.

^^ Live Wallpapers from HTC Sense 3.0 atleast the main one
that would be sweet, considering HTC will probably stick with sense 2.1 in the gingerbread update for desire HD/inspire. From what I saw, desire HD should easily handle the visuals though...
you might want to add [devs only] seeing as it is not ported, and will only fail or cause problems when flashed..

Post your results please. Would this run on the inspire?
Im may start working on this this weekend if I get everything else done I want to. See if I can get something to boot.
Will probably need quite a bit of kernel/init work.
And do I remember reading you need a 64 bit OS to compile a 2.3 kernel? Could be imagining things but I thought I read that somewhere. Luckily though, if thats true I just set up a 64 bit Linux box

I tried it out, it ran just as it would on a DHD... the resolution on the Pyramid is higher than the DHD/Inspire, and it wasn't scaled down, so you can't really see the dock, and the first unlock was a bit weird since there were no icons on the lockscreen to drag down to the ring, and the ring was off the screen.
It worked on AT&T's network fine though. I'm sure once some more work gets done and it fits the screen better, this will be a nice ROM, but right now it's not quite there. But, it IS only the first build and in a very early stage. Keeping an eye on this!
Here's a video someone else made of it on the DHD so you can see what I mean by things not being scaled properly for our resolution - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7P5b-e5POY
I just got my inspire and rooted it last week. I think i might flash this, Do I need eng-off or just put it on my SD card and flash it?
thanks for the update

Hmmm. I wonder if this line in the build.prop is what is causing your display density issues???
line: ro.product.display_resolution = 4.3 inch QHD resolution
The density is set to the standard 240 DPI. That is most likely the culprit.
Just watched the video looks freaking amazing can't wait for the devs to get this thing working

True, with a locked bootloader, we are so limited. Kernels can make quite the performance difference. my hope is that as ics nears we can pull it with an unlocked bootloader from cheesecake. I am thinking of trying to make an app to automate the process even more. I sent phydo a PM asking if he would share the source code, so I can take a look at what he's done.
The other problem is we have so few devs for our phone. I'm not all that great myself and basically it is you, Jim, JRW28, and a few others. other phones have a ton of people working on stuff.

@lkrasner Well, technically don't we have an unlocked bootloader, or at least a bypass from kexec? From my understanding we just don't have a kernel to put on it yet.
@rdavisct Does the tablet have a capacitive touch screen or a resistive? I know a friend who bought a tablet that looked really good for the money (two cameras, 1.5Ghz processer, microSD expansion etc.) but he got really pissed of when he got it and discovered it had a resistive touch screen.

True, but kernels are immensely complex. I wouldn't mind if he takes a couple months if the product is stable and bug free, rather than him forcing it out early with tons of bugs.

@farshad ..yes its 5 point capacitive,1.5ghz single core,1gm ram,16gb internal storage with sd expansio upto 32gn. Hdmi out and loaded with ics. And. 9.5 inch screen.One HELL of a nice package IMO.
Ive been searching for days.only thing close to these specs is the novo 7 elf 2 and novo 7 aurora ..but those both only come with 8gb internal storage,1.2ghz,and 7 inch screen. So i think i found the winner by far.

I know you said you don't feel like paying over 200, but you can get a used xoom off of ebay for very close to 200.
I have a xoom, the one with a 3g/4g radio, and I have hacked it and flashed it to work with an AT&T radio. I have been running ICS on mine for some time now, and I LOVE this thing! When I bought it in March last year, I liked it so, that is why I got the Atrix2.
The Xoom is just that bad assed, if you can spend just a small amount more you can get a used one. I just checked ebay and saw a bunch in about the 200ish range, that lowest was 211, but I am sure if you pay some attention you can snag one for a great price.

Hi Guys
Do we know if there has been any progress on this? I am extreamely interested in getting an Ubuntu dual boot on my TF700 and with the hardware it should be more than capable......
Do we have any idea of timelines etc? I may be willing to give some financial contribution to the person that can get this up and running and stable in a reasonably short timescale....
Thanks

Imagine having the option to run UUD by years end on the tf700.
How many would switch to it? Certainly tempting.

Keeping my fingers crossed that someone gets this sorted for the Tf700.
As it is now I feel the power of the pad is poorly utilized with nothing but JB.
Right now I wish I had waited for a Windows pad...
Hope it will become more than an e-book and e-mail reader for me in the future..
Native?
Probably soon.
In the meantime, I installed chrooted debian.
Other than the fact that most programs don't work, it runs like a charm.
I saw a video of plugging a phone into a tv or monitor and having it then switch to ubuntu. This is what I would LOVE to have with my infinity. I would like the idea of it being a normal android tablet, but then when I slide it into the dock it becomes a linux netbook. I just bought the dock today so just dreaming at this moment lol. I haven't even rooted my infinity yet, unsure if I want to or wait until ubuntu option is there. Doesn't seem to be many good ROMs out there yet.

INSTALLATION
Thanks to user ShotSkydiver we have a Hummingbird build! I will post install details later once I get this up on my device.

The touch axis is no longer flipped, but the touch zones are still messed up, so tapping is off by about half an inch.
If you run into the same problem I did with not being able to get past the intro screen, reboot into CWM, adb pull /data/ubuntu/usr/share/dbus-1/interfaces/com.canonical.unity.AccountsService.xml, find the line that says
Code:
<property name="demo-edges" type="b" access="readwrite">
<annotation name="org.freedesktop.Accounts.DefaultValue" value="true"/>
</property>
and change the value to "false", push the file back to the same location, and reboot.
I'm still working on getting touch fixed properly, also accelerometer as that doesn't work either.

good luck sir. I am also eager to try this out
Currently stuck on a error, anyone who knows please help out.

Wow! Cool. I almost got excited, then realized that it said "HD" not "HD+". Oh well. Sorry, I don't actually have anything valuable to add. Just that it's exciting to see some more ROMS popping up for this (these) device(s). Good luck, I hope you get it running, and that it inspires somebody to do the same for HD+.
you need wpa_supplicant_8_ti

I too have nothing valuable to contribute but would like to see continued progress on this and hopefully also a build for the HD+. :victory:
My system began crashing today, I'm not sure why. Something to do with xorg but it locks up before I can fully figure out the issue. I'll try cleaning the dust from the fan inside my laptop to see if it could be a overheating issue.

Should be straightforward once I get a build up for the HD. Maybe a while because my current laptop decided to act up on me at the worse possible time.

You're in good company, at least. (FWIW)... KillerSloth has horrible troubles with his laptop too. The laptops are possibly rebelling against compiling OS's for different platforms? Who knows what's going on?
I can't wait to try this!
From my experience, most laptops cooling systems are not designed to cool the cpu adequately when doing things that stress the cpu as severely as compiling roms. But my suggestion would be to clean out your fan and heatsink as best you can. If your technically inclined and can find a good tutorial on taking your laptop apart I'd do it to really clean it out. You'll be amazed by how much dust can get up in there. You could also clean wipe the laptop and reinstall Linux fresh which could solve your xorg problems.

Those xorg issues are incompatible driver issues I believe.
Reinstall clean and setup build environment. Try to refrain from recommended updates after you get everything working right lol
Not sure if I ever sent the PM, but you can add that wpa supplicant tree to your manifest for simplicity.
Any other build errors/issues I can probably walk you through too, I've seen them all lol especially with these nooks now

If you can get this booting I'd be happy to know what you did. All of my build attempts since they did the flip have been unsuccessful and I do not apparently have the know-how to get it working (it boot loops on my HD+ and Nook Tablet, both of which seem to actually turn off briefly so I can't pull any logs). Good luck and hopefully your computer gets going again
I really wish there was more work on this, would be fantastic to check out Ubuntu on a tablet without having to make another purchase.
I need help

I am working on porting Ubuntu touch to the Nook HD, and it's going rather well, but the guide says i need to write UCM mixer files, and I have no idea what to do. Can anybody help?

Maybe in other threads who speaks about porting to UT maybe healp you if you ask them
I have one Nook HD, I could be your tester if you want :laugh:

Yeah, I couldn't help with it since I only really know simple web development stuff (have a few certs, still in school)...but if there is anything we could do to help I'm sure alot of interest would be found.

I honestly had never even heard of UCM mixer files, and I still don't fully understand them. I have my own Nook HD to test on, and when I get it booted, I'll post it. Where should I look?

Unless you already figured out how to get it to boot I would focus on that issue first - that of booting - though I suppose you could build for the non-flipped old builds of touch but that won't do much good really. The audio fix is minor compared.
When the ubuntu images were flipped the ability to get a working bootable build became more difficult. It should be rather easy for someone who knows what they are doing with ubuntu touch and possibly a rom dev or similiar but otherwise its quite confusing. The guide says they will update it to explain the needed info and some stuff is explained somewhat at the top.
I've made a lot of boot.img tests which did nothing and then looked into lxc (found inside the touch zip) is very important to booting but haven't felt like doing anything else. Lxc and boot.img need to be repackaged with additional device specific code at this point in time from what I understand... in order to get it to boot.
