Amazing Ubuntu - HTC Amaze 4G

Seach is down so I couldn't search, but has anyone been able to get Ubuntu working on their Amaze yet?
I had root in terminal last night and was able to launch vnc viewer, but only had a grey background with the lxde X that was movable, and an error dialog that after research made me thing it was do to running from my internal SD, and that the internal sd didn't have enough room available.
I did the juopunutbear s-off trick last night and now I can't get back to root in terminal. Tried lots of things so far and getting frustrated, hopefully someone else has already been down this road and can shed some light for me.

I formatted everything and started with a fresh copy of speed 7.8, got root again. got all the updates and lxde re-intstalled i'm in the x desktop, but just grey background again with the same error dialog from yesterday "There is a problem with the configuration server. (/usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256)

Flash a RUU

Which ruu
Sent from my HTC Ruby using xda app-developers app

The newest one for your carrier. Be sure its a RUU and not an OTA.
Here's a Link to the Collection of RUUs

Lame, the link for the T-Mobile ruu is broken or servers down. Will the ics below it work?

Should I flash zip from 4ext or rename ph85img and go to boot loader? Also wondering why this will help with ubuntu , won't this make me stock without su? I have that radio already. I just got the phone from T-Mobile and it came with that radio on ics
Sent from my HTC Ruby using xda app-developers app

Sorry. I just read the first post and thought you were having trouble with getting the phone up and running after s-off. So disregard everything. Yes, the RUU will get you completely stock.
If it helps any I was having some insomnia and wasn't too focused on your issue. My bad for wasting jour time on your real question.

Finally got it working. Hit me up if you want Intel.
A little slow on GNOME, but runs lightning fast with LXDE

Yuk really dislike LXDE, especially since Open Box can manage on it's own quite nicely.
So really this is running on top of Android right - It's not booting with Linux?

Yes runs chroot on top of android. You can run a script that will make it run on boot if you want, but its still on top of android. I found an app called complete Linux installer that does it all for you including download links and installer/launcher scripts, and I've been successful with Ubuntu 12.04, debian and backtrack.

You need to download and install an older version of market, there is 1 in this post, reply #131 Attachment
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1139259) it is in a zip format which you can flash to your phone with recovery or rom manager
so you mean to say that new market doesn't work in wildfire?? than why they r providing updates automatically.
my wildfire is non rooted buddy so i m not able to flash through recovery..
do u have older market in .apk format so i can install that.
Have you tried going to menu-applications-find the market and uninstall updates?
Edit: note to self, "must read the op"
And if I'm not mistaken (which I might be) market is a system app so I don't think you can just install an apk to downgrade it, and even if you do wouldn't it just update itself again as you would still have the updater in /system/app.
Anyway here's a link to the latest v3.1.5 which should be a bit faster than 3.1.1, it works fine for me anyway.

If you don't want it to update to the new market, you can use titanium backup to freeze the market updater.apk

Have you tried clearing the Market app's Cache and Data?

the simple way. root. detach market from updates using titanium backup. try some rom with 2.3.5 android. the new market will work
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
The new market does work on the Wildfire, you just need a lot of patience, and I mean alot of patience, as it is very, very slow. For those who don't want to wait for the new market to finally open, or not, try the link in post #2, it does work.
It only lags because stock wildfires are useless, sense is bloated and the specs of the phone aren't very good unless modified, it works perfect on cm7 overclocked.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda premium
actually on my CM7 wildfire, overclocked 710 MHz it still runs like crap, force closing half the time and very laggy...
*edit* i can now not open the market at all: "proces com.android.vending has stopped unexpectedly". I have flashed the old market from post #131 from the thread linked here before, but that changes nothing to my market sadly... Help?
The thing I found is that v3.1.3 and above works fine but below that absolutely sucked even for me, my phone only has the bare minimum running in the background at all times so always has plenty of ram but the first versions of the new style market was useless but the newer ones are working perfectly for me anyway.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda premium
well after a lot of f-ing around, rebooting, clearing memory's suddenly the market I flashed appeared, so now I have the old style market back; thank god. Both 3.1.3 and 3.1.5 crashed for me...
I would find out the latest officially deployed Market version for your phone model (stock), and use that version. Newer versions of the Market may not work on some phones, or with custom ROMs.
As of this writing, v3.1.5 is the latest officially deployed Market version for the DroidX.

Google Now on Stock Rom.

Alright, following This Guide I got Google now working.
To summarize what I did
1. Root phone using the Korean Root method
2. I unlocked the bootloader and installed CWM using Project FreeGee
3. I booted into CWM and installed This zip.At the I was writing this guide, I freegee was on version 0.5
4. My phone restarted and froze up about twice before finally staying booted. It seems to have normalized now.
edit:Right now most things seem to work.
If anyone finds a better version of Google now, please let me know and post the how-to.
I didn't make the zips and all I have done is follow the instructions and write down my personal experience. I give full credit to the author of the original post for their instructions/work they did. However, since the LGOG doesn't need project Butter, Google Now is the main thing we are missing from 4.1 and it should help ease the wait for a stable AOSP ROM. If anyone has any issues let me know and I'll make a list.

THis is great news. Right now I'm pondering whether to get this phone or the Note II, and Google now (which I have on my Captivate running SlimBean 3.0) is the one thing I really cannot imagine giving up.
Question: when you say that Calendar/settings alamrs don't work, do you mean that they don't work at all, or that they don't show up in Google Now?
I was referring to not working in Google now. Although i did manage to set an alarm with it shortly after this post.
Also fwiw I had the captivate too. I try to stick with nexus hardware.

OK, I can't get it to launch links for me after searching. Anyone else? I'm wondering if it's because I removed Chrome and the LG browser?
Sent from my LG-E970 using Tapatalk 2
Edit: Works most of the time but I also have issues launching links. I still have chrome and the stock browser installed, it will launch them I just have to click on them multiple times. I'm also occasionally having issues exiting to the home screen using either the home button or the back button.
Links can be a little stubborn for me but, usually open.

Titanium backup.
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
Uninstall stock voice search with titanium backup or you will get problems with android keyboard. It makes it try use them both for voice typing. I'd assume it may be the cause of any and all problems.
Edit: scratch that... Since installing Google now I get all kinds of freezing reboots. Caca. Then again it just be saying f u to nova launcher. Clearing cashes fixes it until it happens again.

One of the cards says there's an update available in the Play Store. When I go there it says my device is incompatible. Is there something we could tweak to the build.prop in order to get this update? Or will that mess things up due to the nature of how it was installed?

Lexibook playstore installation

Hi got my son a lexibook for Xmas. There markets pretty poor aside from the fact I can't even register due to it not letting me select country !
I've tried installing playstore. It installs fine. Opens fine but comes up with server error rc:ae and a load if numbers.
Any idea why it won't download anything?

[APP] Playstation Mobile

HTC and Sony are running a promotion for HTC devices running JB 4.1 and Sense 4+, giving out four free games this month. The problem is, they forgot to include the DNA on this list and the Playstation Mobile app doesn't appear on the Play Store for us. Never fear, sideload is here.
This week's game is a puzzle game called Cubixx: http://blog.htc.com/2013/01/htc-playstation-games/?NS46

What errors? PSM or downloading the app? For Cubixx, there was a message that any file above 20MB requires a Wi-Fi connection. There's no way to change this in the settings. You need to be on a Wi-Fi connection in order to download the app.

If you are using Viper Rom you can find PSM in the Viper Hub under addons , works with no issues so far for me, only issue was flashing which is attempted in recovery with an auto flash.......didn't work so just install from sdcard find the file ....under viper - addons - etc.....
Good Luck

Very strange. I obviously didn't have this launch error or I wouldn't have posted it as such. Just like redtechjunky, I'm on ViperDNA. Perhaps there's something in the ROM that makes this work properly? I didn't know about the Venom Hub installation either. Nice tip.
I see that bigandrewgold's screenshot he is possibly on another ROM (or different theme in Viper.) Lemme know, please.

You could try Layapota's camera mod, perhaps your camera app is screwed up:
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=22909751817930472
Or the media_profiles file which you can get from my signature below.
Or try wiping and reinstalling the rom then installing one of the latest kernels in the development section marked [kernel] in the post title.

I've downloaded the app now how will I go about removing the old camera and installing this one?.... Tried installing over the top of the faulty one but it said ... App not installed. Will I have to add this to the viper zip? Like take old camera out and replace then reinstall Rom?
Sent from my HTC One X+ using xda premium
Well its a system app so u can't install it, needs to be placed into the system/app folder which will over ride the current file, then assign permissions.
Or just flash the zip in the recovery, look at the links in my signature if u need more assistance for installing.
