Ubuntu 12 on i9300? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi just seeing if it is possible to install Ubuntu using the Omega ROM or if anyone has tried it as the stock ROM gives a ' loop device '. So basically anyone know if the Omega ROM is loop-Device enabled please.
Many thanks.

I installed Backtrack (based on Ubuntu) on my Omega V3 rom a few hours ago. No problems at all. I could even hook up my mouse and my keyboard via OTG and use them inside Backtrack.

Used it for ~30 minutes. It can't compete with my dedicated server but it's definitely usable and stable.

Do you know if i can only install an custom kernel which will work with ubuntu for the SGS 3 (loop device)? instead of installing the omega rom?

Doesn't the stock kernel support it? Well, you should be able to flash a kernel with loop support to make it work.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium

Yeah but which kernel? And will i lose data if I do?

Have you tried running Ubuntu with the stock kernel? Only if it did NOT work, use another kernel. You won't loose your data by doing so. Just look up in the development forum which Kernel Omega uses (I think it was IntraTech's Insecure Kernel), find a download link for your version (e.g. ALE8, 9, D, F) and flash it.

No with the stock kernel it does not work.... sadly

i tried ubuntu 12 with omega v4 but loop devices still not enabled. any suggestions?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium

I did the same here, i now have root and omega v4.
With orginal script a error that says unable to create loop device.
With latest script it says:
"ubuntu.sh[23]: cut: not found
Error: This script requires root! Type: su
1|[email protected]:/sdcard/ubuntu # su
[email protected]:/mnt/sdcard/ubuntu # sh ubuntu.sh
ubuntu.sh[23]: cut: not found
Error: This script requires root! Type: su
1|[email protected]:/mnt/sdcard/ubuntu #"
I am really getting agritated....
What the hell am i doing wrong?
Only thing i can think of is that member68 got it working with omega 3 because maybe omega 3 has a kernel with loop and omega 4 does not, anyone?
Really appreciate all help!

So you only installed omega v3.0 and backtrack worked?
Not another kernel or something?

I had Chainfire's insecure kernel installed before I installed Omega V3. After that, I switched to V4 and it's still working.

The kernal I would recommend is Entropy512's for the SGP. The tutorial on there is very easy and very stright foward so you shouldn't have any problems at all. I would recommand the rom I'm currently using but the dev removed the link because he is updating the rom.

Nothing in particular's bad w/r/t the stock ROM. It just isn't most people's cup of tea. Chip's ROM is pretty cool, though I'm limited in experience (onyl stock, Eryigit, and Chip's ROMs, to date) What I like about Chip's ROM is that it's up to date and is constantly in development, the style of it (ICS-theme), and that most of the bloatware's been removed. It's very operational and customizable. Plus, many of the "hacks" that he's introduced via init.d or elsewhere (courtesy of St. Matis; I've added a few of my own and deleted a few). He's edited the framework (or gathered it from another source) to get rid of that pesky "Cell Standby" thing that shows up as a battery drain (functionally irrelevant, but annoying nonetheless) and included a number of apps as stock that many here would install anyway. Look at the thread yourself and check its features

Disinstall all driver, make a clean install of the USB driver 1.5.6, install ODIN 1.8 and thats all...You have all you need to write a custom kernel from the stock one.
In Downolad mode the player is visible just from ODIN...i remember...
Otherwise, after installing the c.kernel, from the device recovery you can do all (c.rom-stock-kernel.zip addon).

Same issue
I know this is a little late, but I also have this problem. Latest TWRP, and running Padawan v2. Can't change to ANY rom. Even the stock 4.1.2 touchwiz.
Rooted I717

[Q] How to upgrade to custom 4.x.x roms?

Hey Guys,
I have a Bell Galaxy note I7I7M with T-Mobile Modem Using on Mobilicity Network In Canada. At present, I am using Padawan V8 4.0.4 rom. Works perfectly fine but would like to try some other Custom Jelly Bean Roms. My previous attempts to flash went in vain with issues such as not able to pick up signal (on SlimBean) and not able to Call and recieve phone calls even with signals ( on Jedi Rom). I guess, probably will be a radio issue. Some one please guide me how to Flash and update to custom Jelly bean Roms.
Thanks a lot.
Cheers

Did not work?
Right here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2147095
I'm on 4.2.2 and had to change kernel in order to have call audio. Flappjaxxx kernel is another one you could try, but it didn't work well for me.
I'm using Feb 29 build of the kernel which in the forum for my current ROM had the most feedback.
Basically just download the kernel, put it on root of sd card and boot into recovery. Wipe cache and then install zip from sd and choose kernel. When done reboot. Always make a backup just in case
This boot will take longer than usual. Don't worry. When booted, it will say something like "upgrading android" or something
After that, enjoy.
Someone please correct me if I am wrong at any point! I am fairly certain that ^ those steps are correct, but just in case
And lastly, I hope this doesn't become a "best kernel thread" try a few out if you aren't sure and see which one works best for you. I just recommend 4aces because it worked for me
Carry on all

Flash kernel after ROM. Most ROMs come with a kernel in the zip, so it would overwrite any that you install. I got status 7 and decided to try a different ROM because I was too lazy to update recovery

Ok. I have a problem here. phone reboots when i touch turn on usb connection, any idea? want to flash chris kernel
That is very common for JB ROMs actually. Had that on my old phone as well... Trying to remember what I did Try a different kernel and see if that works any. I don't think it happens to me anymore but it did before.
I'm gonna spend some time searching and see what that yields. I know you can boot into recovery and enable USB transfer that way. It's supposed to be faster because it bypasses a few firmware components. But either way, that is a nuisance.
Okay, try going Settings->Storage->(Menu soft key)->USB options
From here you should be able to enable mass storage, or if that reboots on you like before, try ticking MTP. Maybe try checking developer options and see if USB debugging is enabled or not. Unfortunately I don't know which to have ticked and which ones not
Anyone? Cuz right now all of mine are unchecked (and that doesn't sound right)

Feel free to use my repo to build your own roms.
Hi Guys!
Since the jflte family of devices is almost exactly the same I thought I would post my I9505 (jflte) Rom here for you as well!
It has been tested by jfltetmo and jfltecan users and is confirmed working!
To install it, just download the I9505 rom and then flash the appropriate device specific package I created.
Download the rom from this thread
Download the appropriate device specific package
Install CWM or TWRP recovery.
Boot into recovery, install ROM, then install the device specific package then install gapps.
Wipe Data/Factory Reset if coming from another Rom.
Reboot and enjoy!
Your device name might show up as I9505. If you are bothered by it you can edit the file /system/build.prop in the rom .zip package before you flash it.
This does not affect the way the rom functions in any way.
Please let me know if you have successfully installed and running this rom on any of the US variants of the S4. I don't own the device!

He means to flash it before you ever even try to boot into system.
Ah ok. U mean flash a kernel right after im done installing the rom in twrp?

Yes that usually pops on a loki issue if im not mistaken. So your steps would be to flash the rom, flash your preferred kernel(i personally like the chronic kernel) then flash your gapps package.

Is this thread still alive or what. I grabbed the rootbox stable and nightly version from goo. And I got to say is pretty solid feeling. I can't find a support thread for these releases unfortunately data doesn't work on either build. All the other junk ass aosp builds have data. I would like to achive data or at least find a support thread.

If it's a rom that includes the SuperSU app, you can unroot it. Should work. Infact Stweaks also unroots....

I thought that was the question I was answering.
Well if unrootin the secnd rom desnt work using superuser, then just remove /system/app/supersu.apk and /system/bin/su frm teh rm.zip before you flash it.

Sorry for the confusion. I think I'm writing it wrong I think, I know how to unroot, that works.
But Sky Go still detects it as a rooted rom
What I want to know is can I put a stock unrooted rom for secondary rom with siyah Dual Boot. Without affecting the first rom and root?

You can only flash stock roms via odin which won't help you since you must use siyah recovery to flash 2nd rom.... so no...
There are only TWO elements to root which I have suggested you remove manually (follow link to sticky roll-up on signature for root basics).
If sky go still detects "root" after that, its nothing in the rom that its detecting....
So remove the files from the rom before you flash it.... if that doesn't work, nothing will

It detects root because the first ROM (the main) is rooted. You could try switching example swap primary and secondary roms
