Mobile Ubuntu - HTC Rezound

Just announced today!
Ubuntu for Phones.
I can't wait for this!
http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/phone

Me too, I wonder if there will be a way to get this on the Rezound

I'm sure it will be able at some point. I don't know if there will be issues with moving drivers to it, but i don't think it will be too long after the release till we see at least a bit of progress on it.
If not, I'll finally try my hand at putting together a ROM. haha

It's endorsed by Canonical, so yes. They don't release or distrubute anything closed source. That's the reason you can't get stuff like Oracle Java or Google Chrome as part of Ubuntu without doing the legwork to install it yourself.

The good thing is that by the time we are all bored of jellybean and development has slowed, it will probably be ready to flash on our rezzie. Good reason to keep the phone another year or so. Who else registered their email for info.

Well they did recently add proprietary Nvidia drivers to their official repositories. Not to mention that the mainline kernel does have some blobs in it (of course that's why GNU maintains a version that is open source only).

It is. And they've stated that there will be a image to download for the Gnex in the next few weeks. For free, of course.
I'm sure there will be someone disassembling an image and seeing what can be done with it.

Hopefully eventually we can get something like Replicant (100% free and open source version of Android).
I'm probably dreaming, though, since we have way too much proprietary hardware.

Rezound Ubuntu
Ubuntu would be so fun on a Rezound! But would it still be able to do all the messaging/calling features from android? Would it even be significantly different in that respect?
Either way it would be fun!!!

From what I've seen while looking at videos and whatnot, the experience is totally different. It reminds me of a really fancy Meego. Which is a good thing, imo.

I don't pay much attention to Engadget anymore, but they've a very good video up on Ubuntu for Phones. The founder of Cantonical says that it will be available to download and that "we have a large community, we expect folks will help make images for a variety of different devices." I think that pretty much confirms our open source questions.

(The OS looks a bit snappier than in The Verge's video.)

Any news on the Ubuntu Mobile OS front?

New SwiftKey beta.

You're definitely going to want to pick up a copy of the beta. If you follow SwiftKey on twitter, they're giving a direct link to the apk.
Link for the lazy : Tablet version LINK
Here is for the phone version - LINK
Have been using Swiftkey forever.
Swiftkey is nice, Although the reviews 3 is getting aren't great. A lot are saying it's laggy and their "auto spacing" is goofy to say the least.
Worst part about it... I paid for the X version, but now they will want me to pay again for the 3 version....
Stupid...
I'm enjoying it so far. Makes it easier to type without looking at the keyboard.

That's the one thing I don't like about it. Hopefully they add it back in when the finished product that is released.
Wow I was actually getting kind of bored of SwiftKey x once I figured out how it tried to "learn" how I type and all that. I realized that it's algorithms weren't really that advanced in today's world. But they have done a whole lot better with this beta version. Algorithms and ai is better and I love the whole automatic space bar thing it's lovely. I can practically type perfectly now and never want to use swype again

No comma sucks. I went back already. And it lags in certain apps.

Jelly Bean's Google Now for ICS (FULLY FUNCTIONAL!!)

*Cleaned up OP. Started collecting too many old links. *
I saw this on the news page and have been following it since then. Google Now finally comes to ICS and should work with any AOSP ROMs.
Latest Development as of 8-6-12: There has been some new developments on this. XDA user cajunflavoredbob has put together a nice write up on explaining everything and new downloads. Check it out here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29756226&postcount=2856
I flashed it right over my ParanoidAndroid ROM and also AOKP and it works great. Should work fine on CM9 as well but I havent tested that. As always, backing up before flashing is a good idea.
VIDEO: XDA member Tomsgt has made a video showing how to install and also a little sample of what it looks on our phone. Check it out here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFGvhXuht_w&feature=youtube_gdata_player
jsgraphicart said:
I saw this on the news page. I believe CM9 is AOSP based so it should work for us too. I'm in the process of backing up my ROM now before trying it. I'm at work so I may not get around to it right away. But if anyone else wants to try it out, here is the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749045
EDIT: Ok, I got it working partially. The voice search, for some reason, doesnt work. But manually typing it in does. I dont know if there is a fix for that. I'm in the forum seeing if there are any answers to this. But it does work, somewhat, if anyone wants to try it out.

I will post here when there is voice search fix. Apparently its getting worked on. As it is right now though, its pretty cool. Searching for stuff works just the same and you get the "cards" feature. I never used the Google search box before so I didnt really mind replacing it.
Bump for OP change.
So far I'm not too impressed with how it works in cm9. It's very sluggish for me, I have to touch the screen after searches to get results to "refresh", and it has caused a reboot twice while doing a voice search. I flashed via cm7 recovery, cleared dalvik and cache. Also for some reason I can't get it to add a shorts team to the sports card.
Can you get it to use dolphin browser for web search results?

The search results show in google now's built in browser. I dont think you can change that. But any link you select in the results should open in whatever browser you have set as default.

It is still a little buggy/sluggish. But every feature is present in this. You will get notifications and cards and voice search and it will talk back to you. If you don't even use the built in search now, then you have nothing to lose.

This is actually really sweet. It's very buggy for me though so i decided to go back to my nandroid before i installed it. Love it! Great progress but it was having some random reboots and force closes and some other things. Just an update from me.

I can test but my laptop charging port broke and now won't power on so I won't be able to use ADB for awhile. But I'm S-Off and I've flashed every Rom that was posted and tested it for atleast 48hrs unless it was unstable. I'm actually using ViperS 1.4.1 that I dug up in Sports goo.im.
But if you have enough people then I can wait a few days.
Thanks for hookin everyone up with your contributions.

sounds good so far :good:
Im currently using the 1.4.1 ported version on the amaze, the only thing i can report so far, nightmare kernel looses any custom configuration after reboot. For the rest it seems to be very stable.

Usually use Catlog for the logcats, but can lookup and use the ADB commands if needed.

Unlocking your device yourself will be illegal but the carrier can still unlock it for you ( sim unlock not boot loader )
Sent from my HTC One XL using Tapatalk 2
People are getting upset about something they don't fully understand... This law is for unlocking the phone to bring to other carriers to use... not unlocking or rooting. and our phone comes factory unlocked so there's no reason to QQ here on the DNA forums...
I love the DNA and I hate to say it ... but if this is how it's going to be then my next phone will not be an HTC device. Their build quality and overall hardware is fantastic, but I find it ridiculous that they're going after dev's like this. I'd rather pick up a Galaxy S4 when it's released and unload my DNA if this is how they're going to treat their market/buyers.
Seems HTC didn't want prerelease leaked ruu's out which were obtained by illegal means as the main reason for the shutdown.
If we host a Sense 5 Rom, same thing might happen here I suppose.

Very unlike them. They normally lock everything down, and make you suffer before they even think about unlocking a phone for you.

Is there any way to root this GE phone? I miss my extra features from rooting the most.

Yes. You can root the GE phone. I've already rooted mine.

Its rootable and as modifiable as the regular version. You can flash any rom you want, even a Sense based custom rom if you feel like it.

Hey guys, I got an HTC One GE also. Since there is no separate forum for the GE, does anyone know if it is possible to gain S-OFF? I'm not planning on flashing ROMs because stock android is awesome. I really only need it so that I can remove the "tampered" flag in the bootloader in case I need to return the phone for warranty purposes.
Thanks!

I used the rom for awhile and saw no degradation of picture quality

Me too, the quality of pictures is unchanged.
So, it turns out we're out of luck. After a ton of research, the only exploit that works to S-OFF works with hboot 1.44, but the GE ships with Android 4.2.2 which has hboot 1.54, which patched the exploit.
We have to wait it out for S-OFF.

Sup guys, I haven't been in the Android world since I let go of the HTC One X. That being said, I'm back with the HTC One Google Edition.
I see that there's not much information regarding the phone, so if I can do anything to contribute I'll be more than happy to do so. Please be patient with me as its been a long time.
Best regards.

We could probably use a system dump!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've never seen the Tampered flag returned to normal. I've seen counter resets for plenty of devices, but in the few phones I've rooted and modded for friends, I haven't seen a boot loader reset tool that could fix it. Am I living in the past?

Was the One XL bigger than the HOX and HOX+?

I'm not sure if it is a true reset, but with the revone exploit and the - t flag, you can remove the tampered flag from the bootloader! There is a forum dedicated to S-OFF which I can link to here later (on a phone).

You don't get around much do you?
We've had a system dump for a couple of weeks now.
I have the GE as well. It would be nice if we had a separate forum. I have a few things I would like to see if others are seeing as well:
Home and back button light work "inconsistently"
Wifi seems to be inconsistent too (I may have solved this with turning off the "wifi optimization" in the advanced settings
IR definitely does not work. I tried the MacRemote app, which works on the standard HTC One.
Loving the phone so far. It is so nice to finally have AT&T LTE on a stock android(ish) device. For those that will scream that this is not "stock android" I shall call it SKINLESS android.

Not sure about the WiFi or the light inconsistencies, but I know that HTC didn't include the API for the infrared remote because the GE is supposed to be as 'stock' as possible.

Yeah, once you have S-Off, you can change the flags, remove them, add ones, etc etc. You can even change and reset it back to 100% completely stock and locked / S-on if desired. I used it on my DNA (same s-off method) then returned it to factory locked before I sold it.

I have S-Off with my one, on Hboot 1.54, but thats because I was originally on 1.44 =)
I was about to post this plea for help and then I decided to try a factory reset and before I could finish signing into google I had an LTE signal.
If you're having connection issues try a factory reset. Mine was cycling between 3 bands along with having no signal at all and never managed a 4G LTE signal, I even went and got another sim card. Incredibly relieved at the moment, the phone is great, no junk, just Android.

Why should the GE have it's own forum? It is the same device as the Sense (obviously with a different ROM/hboot, etc)
