Hi, is it possible do port ubuntu on our device?
Sorry for my english and thanks for answers.
Gesendet von meinem Dell Streak mit Tapatalk 2
Canonical's eventual objective is to have the Ubuntu mobile OS on many more devices than the Nexus line by Google. So, to answer your question, it should be possible to port Ubuntu mobile to the Streak, however it may be some time before we see it happen.
Oh, and your English is perfectly fine and understandable. In fact, it's a lot better than what you see from some native speakers!

If it needs cm10 to run it I doubt it'll happen lol
Not really. I believe the Streak can run Jellybean, but the core issue will always be drivers. Without them, nothing is going to happen.
I'd love to see that happen... Also be curios to see how it runs on a sort of dated phone... The Ubuntu Touch Message center is tasty looking! LoL! Wished we could find something like that for Android...

It needs CM10.1 to run and highly doubt that it will ever run on DS5.
@Op, Why have you posted a general topic in dev section? Don't spam this section, if anyone can , he will definately post here, you don't need to ask that it can happen or not. Someone please report this thread.

This makes no sense. You put out a call for someone to report the thread when you could do it yourself?
To the naysayers, the Streak can run ICS. If it isn't going to handle Jellybean, it will be both because of a lack of drivers as well as the possibility of the Streak's system partition being too small to accept Jellybean.
So, we need to find out the size of the system partition, by typing the following commands into a command prompt with the Streak connected to a PC:
adb shell
su
busybox df -h
If the system partition is less than approximately 350MB then Jellybean will not run on the Streak without modifications.

the system partition is 260m ,but it doesn't matter
i had made new partitions in innersd0 , and installed the 2nd os in the new partitions
the size of new partitions could be modified easily
Then that eliminates the minor issue, leaving drivers as the lone obstacle to getting Ubuntu on the Streak. This is the same obstacle that prevents us from getting ICS working properly on the Streak, and until there is some traction in an ICS port, Ubuntu is not going to happen.

You are really one of your kind!
Can't you understand that i was asking someone to do it because i was online through my phone and fyi you can report a thread through xda's app ..
If you want to continue this general discussion, open up a thread in general section and continue your talking there, this section is for development and not for general discussions . A guy spammed this section and you are supporting him. Reported!
I don't use the XDA app, but whether I do or not has no bearing on the ease of reporting a post. However I neither consider his post to be spam nor do I believe it inappropriate for this subforum. I suspect no one else in this thread, except you, cares one way or another.
Since you reported me, I don't have to tell you to go ahead and waste your energy, do I.
What I can't understand, is why this Question is in Development.
Com'on people, read the rules before you sign on.
Development is for "Works", like Roms, Kernels, Roots, Hacks and such. To post in the Dev section, you better be attaching something worthwhile One could say "Hey, I heard OX10 can be ported to...". If you don't have some code.... see the following....
Otherwise, it gets moved to Q & A or General...
Thread moved.

A rhetorical question you ask. This is only speculation, but perhaps the OP thought to spur such development by asking the question. That's why I personally didn't have an issue with the OP posting the thread in development. But, my opinion on the appropriateness of the thread's location is irrelevant.

Why don't you understand that questions don't belong in development section?
There are several OS out there, so should we create a new thread for every OS asking " Can this OS be ported to DS 5 ?"
GENERAL discussion are not for development section!
There's a general section for that!
If someone gets something working on DS5, he/she will definately post it here(XDA), a question will not make that OS.
We all know that we hardly have a working ICS(4.0.4), so it's impossible to get ubuntu working on DS5 since its based on CM10.1 ( 4.2.2) , the bitter truth.
You are quite an experienced member and still you are supporting a spam thread instead of helping in cleaning the dev section. This is my last post on this thread and even after this if you don't understand then can't help with it.
BTW thanks Moscow desire!
Actually Ubuntu Touch is based off of Android 4.1.2
Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk 2
Which still leads to the issue of drivers. Without drivers, any discussion of porting Ubuntu Touch is nothing more than wishful thinking. This device still doesn't have a properly working ICS port because there are no driver sources to be able to create proper drivers.
At this point, I'm bowing out of this discussion. I'm starting to repeat myself.

Hi, I am trying to use Abd to do the stalling fix that Modaco Paul Obrien Provided, however (if im not mistaken) there arent any steps to making adb recognize your phone.
what should we press before doing this?
Enter the following commands in adb on your PC with your device attached (rooted, with USB debugging enabled):
CODE
adb shell
su
cp -rp /data/data /dbdata
mv /data/data /data/data.bak
ln -s /dbdata/data /data/data
reboot
I have showing in command promp before doing anything:
C:\Users\Eric>
Please someone get back to me. if this was posted, I aplogize.. you can delete it (if possibly) after im helped hopefully. I wonder why instructions don't clearly state the steps to avoid questions. There are 1 million threads and hard to search.
Fyi I've installed all the drivers and things for my device. I just need to know the next steps.

Hey thanks for replying. My sd card has avatar on it. I don't want to partition it and lose it.. I mean I could but the last time I partitioned the sd, my phone was blank. Maybe that's because when I flashed clockworks recovery it sent the backedup Rom to my sd car and not the internal memory?

Dont take this the wrong way, but what you are trying is extremely experimental, and I would not recommend it to you. You will end up frustrated later waiting for more advice, as you dont seem to have any experience w/ ADB. Maybe research ADB a bit, play around w/ it, and then possibly try this again.
I dont mean to discourage you, but this type of mod/hack is somewhat advanced, and may require some troubleshooting to get it working properly. You should also know EXACTLY how to undo what you are attempting to do before you go through with it, which is generally a good idea for these type of mods, as you may undo it soon
Thanks a lot. And u right. I'm about to unroot and wait for 2.2 because these developers know there are new people to this and it wouldnt hurt to go into a little more detail. I used Amonras Recovery method on my nexus and didn't have to go through all this download moad stuff and Odin etc. Its not that easy when people get annoyed by questions lol but thanks a lot though.

To be fair, this is the development forum. It's for developers to talk to other developers. We are generally willing to help people out, but do try to make sure you know the basics as much of what we do here is very experimental, and it may well not work right for everyone. As such, it's not really for general consumption. When we think our stuff is ready, we will make a thread in the general forum.
As for partitioning, just copy avatar somewhere else first. Or get a new card to experiment with. They are cheap and the stock one is small and slow.
Note that the comments thing is a double edged sword, we have lost developers to posts like yours. Keep in mind that people are giving their free time to give the community these roms, hacks, and apps, for free. They don't owe you or anyone else anything.

As I stated earlier, we are not telling you how to do it EXACTLY because we do not recommend this for you. You are free to go research and do it anyways, but you've been warned. There will be builds out soon that make everything much easier, but until then, I recommend waiting...
Just a clarification....donations are made to devs (and anyone) without any consideration of something in return.
for example, I sent a donation to @wesgarner the moment he started considering working on CM6 for the vibrant. I am not "owed" anything from him, and he can use the donation as he wishes, although I hope he used it towards something android related.
There is a huge difference between what you said regarding donations, and how I put it. I'm sure some developers get annoyed when people expect things after donating. Its not a purchase, its a donation to a cause
Did you guys know that NO FLAMING is an XDA rule??
@OP First you should make sure you've installed the android sdk properly by visiting developers.android.com
Before you write any command in a CMD window you should specify where your android sdk is by writing
> cd C:\android-sdk_r06-windows\android-sdk-windows\tools (just using this SDK as an example, you may be using the 2.1 SDK)
You can also read up on ADB by visiting this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502010

While you are of course welcome to disagree, I thought the thread had been quite civil. I'm out though, the op said they want to wait a bit.
This might come in handy:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html
The thing most people miss is they don't add the path to the sdk so the adb command only works from the tools directory. To make it work everywhere, you need to: Right-click on My Computer, and select Properties. Under the Advanced tab, hit the Environment Variables button, and in the dialog that comes up, double-click on Path (under System Variables). At the end of the PATH, make sure there is a semicolon separating the last entry from the one you are about to type, which will be the location of the android sdk tools directory (for me it's C:\android-sdk-windows\tools). Once that's in your PATH, click ok, ok, then apply, reboot and you can
Code:
adb shell
from any directory. Of course, anyone without at least a little experience with command-line interfaces will be at a disadvantage; there's definitely a learning curve.
Ok, here is my super quick summary but you would get better help in the general forum. Most of the answers are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728809
These are the instructions if you are in windows 7, it's probably the same for whatever version you're on.
If you have installed ADB correctly and the samsung drivers you should have the files located somewhere like C:\android-sdk-windows. You should also have usb debugging enabled on the phone (settings->applications->development) and the phone plugged in. Open the tools folder since that's where the ADB executable is. In that folder hold down shift and right click on a white part of the screen between files. You should see "Open Command Window Here". If not, click the start button and select run. Type CMD and press enter. In the command prompt type "cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools" and press enter. Fill that in with whatever your path is. When you are in the correct folder you can now run adb commands in the command prompt. To test that your device is ready to work with ADB and everything is installed correctly just type "adb devices" and you should see some numbers and letters. If you don't see it list your device, something isn't setup correctly.

is there a way to permanently have android on the hd2? i mean without having to run clrcad, then haret on froyo 2.2? like is there a way to remove winmo altogether? im just tired of having to reboot to android everytime i change battery all the time.
you are tired of having to reboot and the community is tired of seeing the same questions.
to answer, let's just say that android is never ever ever going to be permanent. if it is ever permanent, you'll have to read about it
To your question yes I believe so but it's a work in progress. For other members that have an issue answering a simple question more than once, why reply in the first place? Unlike bravo who apparently have all day to read every page and post that go well over 200 pages. The time it took to write your little spiel you could of answered the question!
There is currently no permanent way to flash android to our HD2s. It is in development. Right now we have builds of android that can be launched using HaRET from our SD cards. No one except the people working directly on the NAND project know when it will be completed. I wouldn't recommend asking when it will be done. Trust me, once it has been released you will know. It wont be possible to miss it.
While not always the easiest way to get answers, using the "search" function is the BEST way to get them. You will learn a lot more than just what you were asking, and expand your knowledge base to help make you more profficient with your own device. If you have done a couple searches and can't find what you're looking for, then ask. I would include though that you have tried searching and didn't have any luck. That should keep flaming to a minimum. Most people here just want to know that you tried.
Best of luck with your phone and welcome to the world if LEO.

there's the same problem on other devices such as htc desire, no camera with desire hd rom too, no?

we had the same issue back in the G1 days when eclair was first ported. someone took the time to reverse engineer the camera driver to get it to work in eclair. either we get the source for it, or someone has to take good chunk of time to figure it out.

No, people are not getting mad just because he asked a question. Its the fact that he did not do any research at all (Which is a huge rule on this site). The answer to this question has been answered in just about every Desire HD-2 thread. Also because this particular forum "HD2 Android Development" is not for Q&A. I've seen a thread about this exact question start like once a week, and it always gets moved.
reported..
I was wondering with all the mods I have done to thewebos system, changed kernel, ad blocker, reboot options, etc.) will this affect a transition to the cm port when it is released?
also, assuming it will, how can I get rid of the preware mods that I have done, and I don't mean just uninstalling, what I'm really asking is how can I make the touch pad exactly how it was out of the box. Kinda a full system wipe.
No it shouldn't

Perhaps someone could group all the obvious/annoying questions into an FAQ and have a mod sticky it to the top of the forum. Someone did that in the thunderbolt forum and they update it often so whenever anyone asks a question like that, we just point them to the FAQ.

Perhaps people could follow the first rule and search first. Hell even try Google maybe. Bing and your done. Something other than cater to n00bs who just want to be spoon fed everything instead of actually looking and reading

Although I agree, it won't happen.
How stable is the build for sgs2? Anyone tried it yet?
You can check its thread over the original development section.

Yes, thank you for your concise, yet completely worthless contribution to a question being asked. Once I've managed to trudge through the million or so posts, I will form an opinion if said thread was even remotely useful.
While your extreme enthusiasm and talent in pointing out things that are obvious are appreciated, I would actually like to request information pertaining the stability and whether you have tried it. Since you have not managed answer either question with any one post, I suppose you have failed three things; to answer the two questions I've asked in the OP and at life.
To anyone else reading this, I'm merely berating a neanderthal with near catatonic grasp of the linguistic requirement of reading; please answer the OP question as best you can.
Lolwow, that actually made me laugh, seriously, totally talented phrasing there.
On the matter of the OP:
I haven't tried myself yet (I hope that doesn't rule me out as a potential "may reply guy"), but from what I have gathered so far it's flagged "experimental".
UI stuff mostly works, some other things (like making a call) sometimes work and then don't again.
Definitaly not "daily use" capable, but a very good impression of the work that is already done and to see that work is heading into the right direction.
They say they'll be "stable" around Jan./Feb., so being a coder myself I'd rather think of March / April (NOT meant badly, I just know the countless unforseen reasons a project gets delayed!).
And if you are not as lazy as some of the members here you should aleast read the Op or the first and last 10 pages of the thread you worthless dumbass.. You're so lazy you won't read atleast the OP or last pages to see how it is? I was just telling you to look at the f**cking thread because an immature dumbass child owning a smartphone like you wouldn't have read atleast the thread pertaining to the fuc**ng topic dumbass..

Thanks for the honest answer. I was interested in CM9 mainly as a daily driver, since I only have one phone.
As for the Q1 timeline, I have heard from Cyanogen himself and from Samsung that their timeline is similar. I am, of course, near morbidly curious about hardware acceleration on the UI without a Samsung-based kernel.
Please excuse an old man while he brushes up on patience.

Here's my summary of the OP after I have read it:
1. Experimental.
2. Install using CWM, with addons.
3. No bug reports; dev not bothering anyway.
4. Logcat, or GTFO.
That should cover the basics.
Last ten pages summary:
1. Volume problem when headset connected.
2. Volume hack presented, although quite "dirty" as represented by the author.
3. Various other complaints/answers and going off-tangent.
I suppose there are other issues I might add, but the first two points seem to discuss this issue quite a lot. Also, the OP was updated to include said volume hack.
Of course, your answers were quite rage-induced, so I'd like to ask you to calm down and think about what you're saying. Even my twelve-year-old son does better than calling others "immature child" and using the f-word when he feels threatened. That is despite me allowing him unfettered access to Call of Duty multiplayer.
Yeah yeah was not in a good mood already and then i read your somewhat sarcastic reply.. Sorry for what i said and you should'nt answer people like that.. I did reply to you answer (1st one) in a proper way and not a sort of know it all read the op etc type.. Anyway, a new leak will be out this new year (from sammobile) and maybr devs can work on it to minimize the bugs so i'd suggest to wait for the next version..

this is not a good way to start
people may just never going to reply to you with this attitude.
anyway, to answer your questions:
1. i tried the second built, not the 3rd one (just downloaded)
2. it's almost usable, but still a lot of bugs here and there (volume when you connect the headphones, signal lost on some networks, default sms app crashing).
If you don't mind an "almost working but amazing" phone, then go ahead, else i would suggest you to wait another couple of builds at least.

I'd gather as much from the G+ pages and the official news from Samsung.
Take wisdom from those who travelled down the painful path; anger does not help in any way.

Thank you for your reply. I suppose that rules it out for me, as I need my smartphone to make up for my age-induced frailties.

Be careful about that! I found that when I try and point out how pointless (and angry) the majority of posts here are, my threads get closed with a sarcastic comment!
Good question though!

Yeah, it's brilliant. It's original, thoughtful, deep and never been asked or answered before.
To the OP, get off your high horse. You've been given the most useful answer in the 2nd post. If you're not willing to even read through a thread yourself, you deserve all the flaming you get.

From what I know about forums, it's usually power-tripping moderators and admins who can't get it elsewhere. But I'm sure XDA's staff are fair and just.

Well, something I've learned here: Didn't you read this entire thread?
I've read the CyanogenMod 9 thread, have proven that I've read it, and I believe it is impossible for any sane person to have read the entire thread. I'm here seeking opinions, of which yours is entirely unwelcome especially considering you didn't provide any. Why don't you try to get on a horse before talking to me, so that I don't have to stoop so low?

Sure.
If you don't want my opinion, how about one of the (currently) 1,125 posts in the relevant thread, of people who didn't feel the need to create a new one?
What if the several hundred people in there each decided to post an awesome thread like your own? What if they too didn't like or want the opinions of the others in that thread, rather specific people who have tested it (wait, what, isn't that what you're likely to find in there?).
I have indeed read this thread, and I stand by my answer. You were given the most useful answer in the 2nd post, which was to look at the relevant thread. In case you're struggling to find it, lemme help you out
[ROM][IML74K][4.0.3] CyanogenMod 9 experimental Build [UNSTABLE][12-29-2011].
Oh, and the clue is in the title and first post:
UNSTABLE
THIS ROM IS FAR AWAY FROM BEING A DAILY DRIVER.

Sure, I'll read it once you have gone through all 1,000+ posts there. I'm sure we'll all gain some insight, once you've gotten past your passive-aggressive inclinations and complete ineptitude when it comes to answering questions directly and keeping silent when having little to nothing to contribute to a discussion. I'm sure you're a well-adjusted person if I should ever meet you face to face and you enjoy great success in life.
By the bye, I would also like to congratulate your abilities in stating the obvious when providing the link to the topic. I'm sure I couldn't have found it without your assistance. Great effort.

Obligatory TWSS here. Thanks for the laughter.
On a more serious note, I have suddenly realized that the current generation of internet users couldn't discern point blank sarcasm or is a masochist.
I would make a Nandroid backup and give it a go, I;m flitting between this and 2 other backups, and i found it to be quite stable, a few niggly bits here and there but overall it was usable.
