[Q] Where can i get help to put ubuntu on TB - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

There is a few links discussing a working ubuntu on the TB. Even one that claims to have steps on how to do it but unfortunately that specific thread has been closed. Any help relating to this would be a big help. Thank you

You might was want to go look at AndIRC in #thunderbolt. Someone there should be able to help.

Please don't send people to IRC for a simple web search anser.

Trust me I did that search. It just brings up a thread with dead links or leads to closed threads

Hulu apk?

Anybody know if its possible to get it on the amaze?
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using XDA App
I think we need root to restore the AOL plus data using titanium. Same as sensation. The question is why hulu doesn't work on amaze when they have very similar specs. Hulu is slacking.

This might be what you're looking for?
Adb push or just install it using the native app installer.

I dont remember which forum I got this from. but from what I understand is it's a backup of hulu off a droidx, use TI backup to restore. in the original thread people from other phones were saying it was working, so I'm hopeful it'll help us too until Hulu officially supports... Problem is need root for TI I'm still having issues getting the temp root, so maybe someone that did get that working can give it a shot.
edit: got it from rootz thunderbolt forum.... posted by huntken...

No you can't. The apk alone won't work. Needs to be restored using titanium backup.

I've tried telling xboarder that this doesn't work with any of his new roms 1.2.1 and later.
Anyone savvy enough to take a look?

I can't get it to work on 1.4.1. Only 1.3.0 and earlier.
That's weird, I used the ti backup that I posted earlier on 1.4.1 without doing anything extra.... Fc or buffering network problems? x is using an adfree base, if it's network problems need to use adfree and do a revert or mod your hosts to stock... Which you probably know anyway, but just a reminder

I'll give that a try.
Yeah it shows up as "It appears you are having network issues. Please wait, or try again later."
But when I flash 1.2.1 it clears right up. I tried pushing the 1.2.1 build.prop over and that doesn't make any difference. I'll try the adfree bit as you suggested.
EDIT:
Holy sh!#
It actually worked. You sir... are a GODSEND! You have no clue. Now I can have my cake and eat it too. Hulu+ was the only reason I was staying on 1.2.0.
Thanks for the tip!

Anybody else hear about Ubuntu for Android?

This is probably old news but I just recently saw this on the Ubuntu website. Looks pretty freaking sweet! Still in development tho.
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA
There's actually a phone made by Fujitsu that's similar in that it can be booted into the full desktop windows 7 32 bit by the switch of a button. The downside I see to it is that when you are running it the phones radio is turned off so you can't receive calls or texts also the phone UI is some proprietary Fujitsu software. Needless to say it looks pretty lame compared to Android but nevertheless it's still pretty awesome looking. Here's a few links if you guy's wanna check it out.

Would like to point out while Ubuntu are working on it, there are already a range of projects to get it running on your device (see my sig) my project is on of the more active projects, really the only big thing missing that they have working is native graphics (right now my project uses a vnc server within ubuntu to view gui within android).
Mine works on a whole host of devices (not just dual core like ubuntu project) and you can also install debian or backtrack if you wish.
We are in the process of adding more options to the app and making it far more user friendly (Although it is already pretty fool proof)
I love ubuntu on my pc. I would love it on my phone.

Im excited for the fact you can take you computer with you. simply dock it them WALLA you get a working desktop environment. i have reservations on it using Google docs though, i tried, but never can really use Google docs the way i use my other office programs, just doesn't have the flexibility.
But im excited! I've alread click their link on their page.
Also, with the advent of ICS tgeb JB they need to kick it into gear or how else they going to keep up with the upgrades?

If you can virtualize another distribution within it, you basically have Linux within Linux within Linux.

That is a whole nother ballgame, ubuntu touch is a pain. Lol
I've given up on working on it for now, as i really need my phone to be working 110% all the time, so im back to stock....with a handful of modifications ofc.
Using th3bills cm10.1 i was trying to just port it over without having to.build like they say in the porting guide, and no luck outside of a loop. User error really. Its best left to the trusted devs, etc round here.
Our phones can handle it great, and then some, BUT, as with anything over the stock gb, without drivers things dont work as they should. Ubuntu touch is really frikkin awesome to look st, but even if someone ports it, it is only a preview an 90% of the features wont work or are just placeholders. Id let it sit a while, not worth a damn atm. But it does give you a taste of the ui. Which, is tough getting used to as it is very gesture oriented as apposed to click here scroll here that we do on android.
-Cheers- Signed,

Thanks for share sir .. i though anyone haven't try it yet .. i follow the ubuntu touch forum every day hope that some of our great dev will port it. But i still wait it until happen.. i hope
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
If I can find some free time in my super-busy college schedule, I'd like to try my hand at porting it for us. Not just because it would be awesome to have it, but because I'd like to eventually do some app development for it (and it looks like a badass OS for a phone).
Can I put Ubuntu on my Photon even with 2.3.5?
I think you have to unlock the bootloader first.

Unfortunately not. Ubuntu requires it to be unlocked. (ubuntu ATM is highly reliant on cm10 still, so if you can't run cm10,which 2.3.5 can't)

What is the point? We need a decent kernel that can actually support our phone. Atrix 4G succeeded, and all development has halted here. This phone seems pretty much done. Very disappointing.

Please help me

I tried to port JoyOS to our device 10 times but I can't be successful. Please help me. I used the tutorial from http://www.blindndumb.in/2012/05/guide-how-to-port-joyos-to-your-device.html.
It's always stuck at boot screen. Please help me. Thank thanks you so much
Porting is major pain. I have tried doing it dozens of times and only succeeded once. Used baked 6 from evo Og. The guides only show the basic steps to get you started. The rest is up to us to figure out. Each device and ROM is different. If you keep at it you might just get it going.

I knew it but how can I improve it? I don't know
Trial and error is what I had to do. Plus learning how to read the logcat files will help you considerably.
What are you using for your source of joyOS and what is your base for the 3vo?

[GUIDE] How To S-OFF, Unlock, Install Custom Recovery-ALL IN ONE!! HTC EVO 3D (CDMA)

After hours of mess ups I've finally created a COMPLETE (extremely detailed) video (guide) on how to To S-OFF, Unlock, Install Custom Recovery for the HTC EVO 3D (CDMA). There are 4 different parts. The first 2 parts are for the users that have already unlocked boot loader, installed recovery and a ROM. If this is your first time doing any of this to your stock HTC evo 3d (CDMA) then you can skip to part 3. In each video there will be a link in the description for the next part. I hope this works for everyone that watches it and please like, sub. And pass it on to others who need help with this! Thanks again to everyone who has helped me s-off my phone and do all i have done to it today! I LOVE XDA!! Please let me know of anything you don't understand or any problem you run in to (if you do).
Also, the videos might seem long I just want to assure that your HTC EVO 3D is s-off, unlocked, and recovery installed. Please watch all 4 parts and your phone will be all of this!
I am using windows and only know how to do this for (WINDOWS).
Link to part 1 [GUIDE]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfgar9Flb_c
Please keep this thread Alive as long as possible! Thanks!
I will try this week to look over all of the videos again and create a text [GUIDE] as well.
