Ubuntu Phone for Nexus One brought to you by Evervolv
Prereq:
Sdcard with sd-ext part. i.e. A second partition formated as ext4 and AT LEAST 1.5GB FREE space
Micro sdcard reader for pc.
Linux pc with sudo access. NO WINDOWS PCs
Will work on any hboot (including stock)

Intro:
Ubuntu is ~1GB so we must install to the sdcard. Instead of ****ing with a2sd
I have just modified the ramdisk to mount mmcblk0p2 (sdcard second partition)
directly to /data. The 'copy-tarball' script will push the ubuntu rootfs to the
proper location which is mounted as /data/ubuntu. The perms on this folder must
be correct or it will not boot, therefore no windows (unless someone gets it
working).

How it works:
Ubuntu did a fantastic job making this easy. Essentially all that is happening
is it boots android sans gui. During the bootup a service called ubuntu_chroot
runs which exports some vars, bind mounts some things, then chroots /data/ubuntu
and starts the ubuntu init process. From there the prebuilt ubuntu takes off.

Building:
The android side is now based on Evervolv v3.2.0 every device we support
can run ubuntu with minor changes.
to get source:
Code:
repo init -u git://github.com/Evervolv/android.git -b jellybean-ubuntuphone
repo sync

Install:
---Download:
Grap the latest installer script, and android image from http://archive.evervolv.com/ubuntuphone/
Ive also uploaded the ubuntu rootfs i used to test it, you can try the latest nightlies but if they dont work download the latest ubuntu rootfs from above url
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
---Insert sdcard and mount
Most distros will automount. In that case just figure out what folder its in
e.g. /run/media/drew/blablabla
If not just open in in nautilus and figure out what folder its in.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
---Unzip installer tools
Code:
$ cd ~/Downloads
$ unzip ev-nexusone-ubuntu-tools-1.zip
$ cd ev-nexusone-ubuntu-tools
---Copy the ubuntu rootfs to sdcard
Code:
# adjust paths accordingly.
$ bash copy-tarball.sh quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip /run/media/drew/blablabla
---Install android images
like any other rom, fastboot update package and flashable zip available
no wipe needed

Click to collapse
---Bootup
There is no bootanimation, just black screen. It might take up to 5 minutes to boot ubuntu. If you think it is stuck. Check logcat and dmesg
$ adb logcat -C
->> check for repeating errors
$ adb shell dmesg
->> check repeating errors e.g.
<6>[ 181.698364] init: ubuntu-session state changed from starting to pre-start
<6>[ 181.698608] init: ubuntu-session state changed from pre-start to spawned
<6>[ 181.715667] init: ubuntu-session main process (724)
<6>[ 181.716003] init: ubuntu-session state changed from spawned to post-start
<6>[ 181.716583] init: ubuntu-session state changed from post-start to running
post full logcat and dmesg

Once ubuntu gets it more stable we'll post a custom ubuntu rootfs that can be flashed directly from recovery ( the *phablet*.zip is flashable but can only be used on devices with enough space on /data) For now you can probably modify the updater-script to install to /sd-ext/ubuntu if you dont have linux.
omg this is amazing man...
lovely though of making ubuntu touch for r beloved N1
would be booting to this soon
m in love with ubuntu touch
Re: [N1][DEV] UbuntuPhone {EXP}
Is ubuntu supposed to be less power hungry than JB or is exactly the same? Is it going to run fast on old phones?
I have my old nexus one and would love to revive it but JB is too buggy and power hungry for the n1.

as i m thinking of keeping only ubuntu on my device as i dont use it .. its just in my shelf..
@texas just a question i m lil confused with sd card ....
as u say v need 1.5gb space n v have to make 2 partition
so should it be 1st partition of ext4 and 2nds partition ext4
or 1st partition fat32 and 2nd partition ext4 ??
and which partition should have 1.5gb free space?
sorry srrry sorry sorrryy dint read it in the xcitement lmao
got it right
thanks alot

I'm sorry it took so long, I got lots of stuff to deal with. Good things are worth waiting for (i heard)
First off: You are responsible for any of your actions! Changes that are needed to boot Ubuntu on your folio will void your warranty!
Special Thanks goes to DerArtem for posting his Kernels, Weeds2000 for eMail support, topogigi for wifi hacking and last but not least the Ubuntu-Touch Team on IRC that made it possible for me to tweak the touchscreen driver.
However, the system you are about to create is not fully functional, there are still things missing (a working sound driver for example). Its nice to play with it anyway
Heres a quick walk-through:
We will flash a kernel to the toshiba folio tablet which makes it possible to boot from an sdcard or USB-stick (You have to choose one, we need at least 2GB, I'd recommend 4GB so you can install fancy stuff like OpenOffice etc.).
We will then create a root filesystem with rootstock, which will hold our Ubuntu system (similar to your hard drive-Ubuntu).
Finally, we have to tweak that filesystem and change passwords, copy wifi driver etc.
Then we're able to boot a beautiful Ubuntu.
Things you will need:
- A Computer running Linux (Debian / Ubuntu would be great. If you're not running Linux on your computer, running it on the folio would make absolutely no sense. Please don't ask, I don't know how to install it in Windows.)
- The files i added to this post
- A SD-Card, 2-4 GB should be fine.
- optional: A second SD-card, 128MB would be enough (for flashing)
- A USB hub (If you want to boot from USB AND use a keyboard.
- Some time... =)
The first thing you should do is flash one of the update.zip files; choose update-sdmmc.zip (this will boot your folio from sdcard) or update-usb.zip (this will boot from a usb pen drive), open it and unpack the content to a sdcard (This has to be a SDcard, we're gonna flash our device from there.)
Backup all your data on your folio (I'm serious! It'll be gone!) and turn it off.
Put the SDcard in its slot and turn the folio back on. Press + hold both power and volume up.
Follow instructions to do a system update (If you've never done this before you shouldn't start now =) )
When it reboots, your folio will show some funny black and white linux text stuff and hang somewhere. Congratulations! You just bricked your tablet. Now lets see how we can fix it... Turn it off (Keep power pressed for about 5 seconds) and take out the sdcard, put it in your PC.
It's getting messy now, so grab a beer and let's go:
Open a Terminal on your linux computer.
Code:
#echo "Hello world!"
If your console says "Hello World" you got it. Awesome! =)
Code:
#sudo apt-get install rootstock gparted
This will install rootstock, the tool we're gonna need to create our filesystem, as well as gparted, a tool for partitioning our flash drive. You can also install rootstock-gtk, the graphical version. Try it if you like:
Code:
#sudo apt-get install rootstock-gtk
I heard that ubuntu-netbook won't work because there are drivers missing, would somebody try that and report please?
If your beer is already empty when this is done, you need a faster computer. Tell your wife the guys at xda-developers told you so
Back to the terminal:
Code:
#sudo rootstock -f MyCoolHostName -l myCoolUserName -p myCoolPassword --seed xubuntu-desktop -i 2G --notarball
This will create our filesystem with a user called "myCoolUserName" and (theoretically) his password "myCoolPassword" and install a basic xubuntu-desktop. I had to change the password manually because it didn't work this way... We'll do that later.
Rootstock will download lots of packages (You could also set it up with "--seed ubuntu-desktop", then youll download even more packages or "--seed ubuntu-minimal" or kubuntu... I still didnt find a list of seeds online :-/
The creating will take quite some time, get another beer.
When this is done, you'll get a file like this : "qemu-armel-201104112120.img". We will now mount this image: (make sure the directory /mnt/ does exist and is empty:
Code:
#ls -la /mnt )
Code:
#sudo su
(its simpler to be root for now)
Code:
#mount -o loop qemu-armel-201104112120.img /mnt/
(You are aware that your filename is different, are you? Try this:
Code:
# mount -o loop qemu-armel-*TAB*
and your terminal will automatically fill in your filename. Awesome linux, huh? =)
)
Code:
#cd /mnt/etc/
#mv fstab fstab.bak
#echo "proc /proc proc defaults 0 0" > fstab
#echo "dev /dev tmpfs rw 0 0" >> fstab
Note that the first time we create a file called fstab (echo asdf > fstab), then we add one line to this file (echo asdfasdf >> fstab)
Now we need to copy our wifi-driver over. Remember I told you to write down the directory you put them in? =)
Code:
#cp /home/YourUserName/Desktop/FolioStuff/firmware /mnt/lib/firmware
We will now do something stupid: We chroot into our arm-based system from an intel-system. But since we're only changing passwords, we should be OK.
Code:
#cd /
#chroot /mnt/
#passwd myCoolUserName
#passwd
#exit
That's it, we're out of the chroot.
It's now time to prepare the SDcard (The steps are the same for a USB Flash drive, I think you'll figure them out.)
Find out how your SDcard can be accessed (You should still be root):
Code:
# fdisk -l
In my card reader, it's "/dev/mmcblk0", it could also be "/dev/sdb1" in your computer.
Now there are two possibilities:
1. You know what youre doing. Then it's easy: You wipe the only partition (or, if there are more than one, the first partition) on your sdcard and format it with ext3:
Code:
#mkfs.ext3 /dev/mmcblk0p1
Note: The device is called /dev/mmcblk0, the partition itself /dev/mmcblk0p1 (Partition 1)
2. You are not sure about this. No problem, start gparted: (as root!)
Code:
#gparted
In the upper right corner, select your flash drive, delete all partitions and create one formatted with ext3. Close gparted.
Mount your freshly created partition somewhere (i chose /mnt2/):
Code:
#mkdir /mnt2/
Code:
#mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt2
We can now copy our filesystem over. Make sure you use exactly the same flags (rfp for recursive, force, preserve (attributes))
Code:
#cp -rfp /mnt/* /mnt2/
OK, that could work. Unmount the sdcard:
Code:
#umount /mnt2/
Put it in your folio and cross your fingers.
Wifi drivers will be up soon...
It's recommend to add build-essentials to your rootstock image too..
Because then you can easily build the wireless lan drivers on your devices..
Maybe I'll post a howto this afternoon!
Is this Ubuntu really usable (for daily work) with the folio 100 (touch, response speed, ecc.)?
Thanks.
Yup, it's usable for everyday work. It's quite fast on the Folio 100, I've been pretty impressed when I tested it a few weeks ago.
Thanks ph84
It seems most difficult than expected but, great job !
Only i have 1 question, bricking the tablet sounds dangerous... is possible break out the tablet and get a rock?
Thanksss!!!!!
if ubuntu is installed on sd, does that mean that we can dual boot foliomod from nand and ubuntu from sd/usb?
Hm... I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 and I'm getting this error at the end of the rootfs creation :
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Do you have any idea where I can find the log?
And this procedure will build in the tablet a dual boot? Or dualboot is another procedure?
what is the *.rar????
No it's for singleboot only...
You can only start Ubuntu installed on SD-Card/USB-Stick with this procedure...
I don't know wether the boot-partition is locked when you are booting ubuntu/android..
If not it should be possible to build some applications to flash the boot-partition on the running system to change from ubuntu to android
When I do the rootstock step,I got this error!!!Please help!!!

Just try rootstock without the parameters on --seed..
Maybe it will work..
You wont have a Desktop Enviroment like Gnome or something but you wont need that for installing the wireless drivers...
And after installing wireless drivers you can install ubuntu-desktop or something with apt-get!
Ok, I have been looking at rootstock, and if you install rootstock-gtk and than click on tasksel there is a whole list of seeds to chose from. I Think im going to try build the netbook build.
On a side note:
We will now do something stupid: We chroot into our arm-based system from an intel-system. But since we're only changing passwords, we should be OK

with chroot your only changing the root of your file system, your not running anything from there.
But its its in no way a complaint to your awesome guide! Thanks and keep up the good work!

Thats right but when you change your root shell to the rootstock-fs you can also use sudo apt-get update/install and install it into the rootfs!

Just saw some interest for Fedora install on Nook in another thread to my surprise. I thought I am the only pervert interested.
Anyway this is pretty raw at the moment. You need to know your way around Linux and have a Linux box (naturally).
Just not to disappoint you later on, here's what not working:
Only based on Fedora13 from upstream (F14 work is ongoing by Fedora-Arm team and I am just tracking them).
Wifi (still did not get to look into it)
BT (same)
accelerated graphics
Don't know of any touch-friendly WM, so defaults to Gnome.
Multitouch (disabled in driver at the moment since no userspace support anyway).
backlight control does not work, need to rewrite the kernel driver
Xorg does not know what to do with accelerometer input.
Probably tons of other things I forgot about.
You must be out of your mind if you want to try it on a tablet at this stage. Or just super curious.
You will need a microSD (at least 2G) card that you can dedicate to this.
Instructions:
Get "base" fedora sdcard image: http://nook.handhelds.ru/fedora/fedora-sdcard-v0.1.img.gz
Get base Fedora 13 beta3 rootfs: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/arm/2011-May/001271.html
Get kernel modules for the kernel: http://nook.handhelds.ru/fedora/modules-2.6.32.9-fc13.tar.bz2
Unzip the base sdcard image and write it to your sdcard with dd.
run fdisk on the sdcard and add another partition covering the rest of sdcard in addition to the one already there. Write changes
do mkfs.ext4 /dev/yoursdcard2 (basically format the second partition you just created as ext4)
mount the /dev/yoursdcard2 somewhere as root (/mnt/somewhere later on)
untar the F13-beta3 rootfs to the /mnt/somewhere
Now you are almost ready, just need to fill some configs.
Edit /mnt/somewhere/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-usb0 and add this there:
Code:
DEVICE=usb0
#BOOTPROTO=dhcp
BROADCAST=192.168.2.255
IPADDR=192.168.2.2
NETMASK=192.168.2.0
NETWORK=192.168.2.0
GATEWAY=192.168.2.1
ONBOOT=yes
Edit /mnt/somewhere/etc/resolv.conf and change "nameserver" there to 8.8.8.8
Add multitouch config in /mnt/somewhere/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/touchscreen.conf
Code:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "touchscreen"
MatchIsTouchScreen "on"
MatchProduct "cyttsp-i2c"
Driver "mtev"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "On"
Option "SwapAxes" "true"
Option "InvertY" "true"
EndSection
cd /mnt/somewhere/lib/modules and untar the modules file there.
umount /mnt/somewhere
Ok, now you are ready to do some stuff on the nook.
Insert your sdcard into the nook and boot it. You'll see Fedora text console. The installation is pretty basic.
Plug the nook into your Linux PC usb port. It should see a new network device
On the linux PC as root execute: ifconfig usb0 192.168.2.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
Enable ip forwarding on your host if you have it disabled (typically in /etc/sysctl.conf, the setting is ...ip_forward, make it =1. Run sysctl -p for the changes to make effect.
Enable internet access to internet for your nook via IP masquerading: iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -s 192.168.2.2 -j MASQUERADE ; iptables -I FORWARD -s 192.168.2.2 -j ACCEPT ; iptables -I FORWARD -d 192.168.2.2 -j ACCEPT
Now use ssh to login to your Nook: slogin [email protected] the root password is "fedoraarm" (no quotes)
Once logged into the nook, time to install some packages.
rpm -Uvh http://hongkong.proximity.on.ca/yum/base/12/arm/fake-kernel-provides-1.0.0-0.fc12.armv5tel.rpm
update the system: yum update ; yum install tar openssh-clients
Install the gnome environment: yum groupinstall 'GNOME Desktop Environment' --skip-broken
The gnome installation will take a while and will download everything from the net.
Now install the multitouch Xorg driver, get it at http://nook.handhelds.ru./fedora/xf86-input-mtev-0.1.12-1.armv5tel.rpm
Ok. Now you are ready to go. Run "startx &" and the Gnome will start on the nook. You can play with it a bit, use your finger as the mouse pointer.
You can add startx & at the end of e.g. /etc/init.d/rc.local to make it start on system startup or you can do it in a more pretty way.
There are some virtual keyboards in the repo. I tried gko and it sucks.
the "onboard" seems to be the one working best for me. "xvkbd" is a bit hard to operate.
The best one of them all is fvkbd, but it needs libfakekey missing from the repo, grab it at http://arm.koji.fedoraproject.org/p...3/armv5tel/libfakekey-0.1-6.fc13.armv5tel.rpm
Enjoy.
Fedora-arm homepage: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM
I intend to include all the missing pieces into the fedora repo so that you don't need to install all those extra things. Also eventually I plan to add more hardware support and then hopefully migrate to a much newer kernel.
Ha, cool. Glad to see that not everyone thinks that only Ubootoo should be thrown on devices. I'll give this a twiddle for fun.
13 had Moblin, I wonder if that's any better for touch input..
Now i don't feel near as silly for working on my gentoo install for the nook!
Nice, I am still waiting on OpenSuSe
Why not try using Gnome 3? I just poked around in Fedora 15 today and saw the new UI, and I loved it. Bigger buttons, launcher dock, etc. Give it a look!

Fedora15 is not available for arm arch yet. But there is some work in that direction. So sure, once it's available I'd give it a try.
Great stuff here. I knows its early development, but fun none the less to see what our nooks can do.
And thanks verygreen for all your developments lately

No "gnome-shell" package in Fedora-arm repo at this moment,
Quite excited to see some work in bringing Fedora to the Nook Color! I <3 Fedora.
I just wish ARM had the same support as the full Fedora. Or that they would skip releases for Fedora ARM and go yearly... aka, skip to 15 next, then 17.
Could this be used to help port Ubuntu Touch?

No, Ubuntu Touch is based on CM and has very little in common with a full Linux port.
(This is not nessesary for MAC but you can have this for further use later,
In general you will need:
Python 2.4 -- 2.7, which you can download from python.org.
JDK 6 if you wish to build Gingerbread or newer; JDK 5 for Froyo or older. You can download both from java.sun.com.
Git 1.7 or newer. You can find it at git-scm.com)
Setting up a Mac OS X build environment
To build the Android files in a Mac OS environment, you need an Intel/x86 machine running MacOS 10.6 (Snow Leopard).
Android must be built on a case-sensitive file system because the sources contain files that differ only in case. We recommend that you build Android on a partition that has been formatted with the journaled file system HFS+. HFS+ is required to successfully build Mac OS applications such as the Android Emulator for OS X.
Creating a case sensitive disk image
If you want to avoid partitioning/formatting your hard drive, you can use a case-sensitive disk image instead. To create the image, launch Disk Utility and select "New Image". A size of 25GB is the minimum to complete the build, larger numbers are more future-proof. Using sparse images saves space while allowing to grow later as the need arises. Be sure to select "case sensitive, journaled" as the volume format.
You can also create it from a shell with the following command:
# hdiutil create -type SPARSE -fs 'Case-sensitive Journaled HFS+' -size 40g ~/android.dmg
This will create a .dmg (or possibly a .dmg.sparsefile) file which, once mounted, acts as a drive with the required formatting for Android development. For a disk image named "android.dmg" stored in your home directory, you can add the following to your ~/.bash_profile to mount the image when you execute "mountAndroid":
# mount the android file image
function mountAndroid { hdiutil attach ~/android.dmg -mountpoint /Volumes/android; }
Once mounted, you'll do all your work in the "android" volume. You can eject it (unmount it) just like you would with an external drive.
Installing required packages
Install XCode from the Apple developer site http://developer.apple.com/. We recommend version 3.1.4 or newer, i.e. gcc 4.2. Version 4.x could cause difficulties. If you are not already registered as an Apple developer, you will have to create an Apple ID in order to download.
Install MacPorts from macports.org.
Note: Make sure that /opt/local/bin appears in your path BEFORE /usr/bin. If not, add
export PATH=/opt/local/bin:$PATH
to your ~/.bash_profile.
Get make, git, and GPG packages from MacPorts:
$ POSIXLY_CORRECT=1 sudo port install gmake libsdl git-core gnupg
If using Mac OS 10.4, also install bison:
$ POSIXLY_CORRECT=1 sudo port install bison
Reverting from make 3.82
There is a bug in gmake 3.82 that prevents android from building. You can install version 3.81 using MacPorts by taking the following steps:
Edit /opt/local/etc/macports/sources.conf and add a line that says
file:///Users/Shared/dports
above the rsync line. Then create this directory:
$ mkdir /Users/Shared/dports
In the new dports directory, run
$ svn co --revision 50980 http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/trunk/dports/devel/gmake/ devel/gmake/
Create a port index for your new local repository:
$ portindex /Users/Shared/dports
Finally, install the old version of gmake with
$ sudo port install gmake @3.81
Setting a file descriptor limit
On MacOS the default limit on the number of simultaneous file descriptors open is too low and a highly parallel build process may exceed this limit.
To increase the cap, add the following lines to your ~/.bash_profile:
# set the number of open files to be 1024
ulimit -S -n 1024
Next: Download the source
Your build environment is good to go! Proceed to downloading the source....
Why you posted this? It can be found on android's website. Also,you didn't post the whole tutorial.
why not simply install VirtualBox vor Mac and install a VM within?
...sometimes the life is complicated^^
@SWEATTAIMI did you actually manage to get a fully working build on mac? And if yes which version of OS X?
I've tried many times on OS X 10.7 and eventually ended up installing ubuntu on a separate partition...
secondary partition? what about the users here?
i use a VM on a small **** x86 notebook and can do all the development work + complete compiling. i thought a mac has much better hardware^^
I used to have ubuntu installed in vmware too but compiling took too long and it was really annoying. I rather prefer it this way... No shared resources

This will not work if you are running ubuntu via VMware or virtual box. Tried it on 13.10 eventhough the guide recommends 12.04 but i think the problem persists with every version. I suggest builduntu if you are using a virtual machine.

Make a dual boot Ubuntu Windows. You'll need 40 Go for ubuntu (windows 7 included disk utility can shrink partition size so you don't even need to format your hard drive).

Hi there!
Following the hadk pdf from jolla porting guide.
I've got the sailfishos working on terminal android running. Booting on top attempting since monday tonight.
I'll explain more and I'll give more shots on working.
My issue now is to build the boot, recovery image to flash and boot it. The jolla sailfishos as a GUI operating system on Galaxy S3 I9300 model.
FIY : filename = sfa-i9300-ea-1.0.8.19-my1.tar.bz2
Instructions for chroot co,pilation on ubuntu amd64 x86_64 bit:
Code:
sudo mkdir -p /srv/mer/
mkdir -p $HOME/mer/
nano .bashrc
export $MER_ROOT=/srv/mer/
export $MER_ROOT=$HOME/mer/
ctrl +x to save and y
but type sudo apt-get install -y curl
for do the downloading file.
next do the following commands on terminal:
export $MER_ROOT=/srv/mer/
cd $HOME; curl -k -O https://img.merproject.org/images/mer-sdk/mer-i486-latest-sdk-rolling-chroot-armv7hl-sb2.tar.bz2 ;
sudo mkdir -p $MER_ROOT/sdks/sdk ;
cd $MER_ROOT/sdks/sdk ;
sudo tar --numeric-owner -p -xjf $HOME/mer-i486-latest-sdk-rolling-chroot-armv7hl-sb2.tar.bz2 ;
echo "export MER_ROOT=$MER_ROOT" >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'alias sdk=$MER_ROOT/sdks/sdk/mer-sdk-chroot' >> ~/.bashrc ; exec bash ;
echo 'PS1="MerSDK $PS1"' >> ~/.mersdk.profile ;
sdk
Now, do the following instructions:
$HOST>
nano $HOME/.hadk.env
export MER_ROOT="[/home/$user]"
export ANDROID_ROOT="$MER_ROOT/android/droid"
export VENDOR="[samsung]"
export DEVICE="[i9300]"
ctrl +x and y for save it.
nano $HOME/.mersdkubu.profile
function hadk() { source $HOME/.hadk.env${1:+.$1}; echo "Env setup for $DEVICE"; }
export PS1="HABUILD_SDK [\${DEVICE}] $PS1"
hadk
save it again
nano $HOME/.mersdk.profile
function hadk() { source $HOME/.hadk.env${1:+.$1}; echo "Env setup for $DEVICE"; }
hadk
now save this file.
Now in ctrl + alt + x, it will show a terminal:
type this:
sdk
type your password
hadk
TARBALL=ubuntu-quantal-android-rootfs.tar.bz2
curl -O http://img.merproject.org/images/mer-hybris/ubu/$TARBALL
UBUNTU_CHROOT=/parentroot/$MER_ROOT/sdks/ubuntu
sudo mkdir -p $UBUNTU_CHROOT
sudo tar --numeric-owner -xvjf $TARBALL -C $UBUNTU_CHROOT
hadk
ubu-chroot -r /parentroot/$MER_ROOT/sdks/ubuntu
exit
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "Your email"
back again for
hadk
cd $HOME
mkdir -p $HOME/mer/android/droid
repo init -u git://github.com/mer-hybris/android.git -b hybris-10.1
repo sync
after this, you will have HABUILD_SDK
DEVICE=i9300
export $DEVICE
source build/envsetup.sh
breakfast $DEVICE
now type
make hybris-hal
But now as a ota file for flashing on i9300, in this last 2 days in my laptop core2Duo Extreme I'm facing overheating.
So, everyone can test it.
Code:
A little change on mount fixups.
Go to the directory hybris/hybris-boot
nano mount-fixups on i9305| encore)
put the "i9305" | "encore" | "i9300")
Script for booting sailfishingos on an android terminal. This script is to mount the binds folders and for fixing for preventing the /dev/null issue when we all boot the chroot sailfishos.
name of the script : sailfishos.sh - made it on the /extsdCard/ folder.
1) nano /extSdCard/sailfishos.sh and copy the following code
2) ctrl +x to save it
3) bash sailfishos.sh
Code:
su
mount -o bind /dev /data/.stowaways/sailfishos/dev
mount -o bind /proc /data/.stowaways/sailfishos/proc
mount -o bind /sys/ /data/.stowaways/sailfishos/sys
chroot /data/.stowaways/sailfishos/ /bin/su -
echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" > /etc/resolv.conf
Code:
Procedures:
1) get cm 10.1 flash it.
2) recovery mode to flash it.
3) download my sailfish i9300 tar.bz2 from d-h.st
4) Copy it for your /extSdCard
Code:
Procedures inside adb:
1) sudo adb kill-server
2) sudo adb start-server
3) adb devices
4) adb shell
5) su
6) cd /extSdCard/
8) mkdir -p /data/.stowaways/sailfishos
8) tar --numeric-owner -xvf filename -C /data/.stowaways/sailfishos
9) mount -o bind /dev /data/.stowaways/sailfishos/dev
10) mount -o bind /proc /data/.stowaways/sailfishos/proc
11) mount -o bind /sys /data/.stowaways/sailfishos/sys
finally:
chroot /data/.stawaways/sailfishos/ /bin/su-
you'll see sailfish os version something 15
try this on it:
cd /
ls
[LINK] http://d-h.st/gX5 [/LINK]
See folders on it.
PS: I'll give more shots also more instructions very soon. Thanx.
Another PS: I'll give more news about Jolla sailfish os very soon.
But I need to tell this, I've got i9300 defconfig kernel for Jolla sailfishos very similar to defconfig i9305 kernel and I got it compiled with very success on hadk Ubuntu chroot on mine Ubuntu 14.04 LTS version.

I'm trying to find out why it doesn't boot (the phone stays at the galaxy logo)
The actual guide for porting misses some stuff and there are errors here and there. Besides, there is a problem with the trusty chroot, quantal is working.
Aye. I've notice that.
I'm fixing some issues in quantal chroot.
E.g. inside the sources.list I add the 12.04 lts mirrors. Made by a website with the sources.list for 12.04 lts mirrors.
Yeah. I've done the boot kernel image and it made the same as you.
But with meld diff I've compared the i9305 defconfig with mine i9300 defconfig.
I'm going to test it with the changes meld diff made with a comparison with i9305 defconfig.
Now I made a make systemtarball and I'll try a make bootimage or a make factory_image for it.

It would be great if you could make it to boot.
I will try to compile the kernel with CONFIG_CMDLINE="console=tty0" . I'm hoping that would direct kernel panic message to the screen so we could idenfity what the problem is with booting hybris-boot.img
So... Any development?

Hi! All of you! I'm doing efforts between these days. In these vacation days. I'll report more when I got home back.

Hi, I've also been trying to port sailfish os to i9300. I've been successful in creating an image that works, i.e. got it to boot into sailfish but there are some issues that I haven't been able to fix, like for instances, the wlan is detected but fails to establish a connection with any network, GSM is also not working. A full list with details can be found here https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Adaptations/libhybris
Maybe we should try to work together to get a fully functional sailfish os image
Cheers

The phone may be stuck at the galaxy logo, but there's a way to debug to find out what's wrong, follow this steps (only tested on linux):
1) connect your phone with the computer, the initramfs in boot.img will create a network interface (phone's ip is: 192.168.2.15) and enable a telnet deamon (default port: 23) and also a udhcp server, so luckily the computer will ask for an ip that everything will be set up automatically. If not try configuring static ip (192.168.2.20 and adding a route to 192.168.2.0)
2) telnet 192.168.2.15
3) when you're in the telnet session, you can check /diagnostic.log (i think) it will show why the boot failed. It is possible to execute commands into the init, by writing to (/init-ctl/stdin)
When logged into the telnet session it will dump a bit of information, be sure to read it as is useful .
Also check HADK 9.2 Operating Blind on an Existing Device
PS: the files may contain mistakes as I wrote this post without checking for the correct names (I don't have sailfish flashed at the moment).
Also consider visiting the IRC channel (#sailfishos-porters), if you're not doing it already
Hope it helps

well maxAndroided all I can say at the moment is that the OS looks very promising... the UI is very smooth. Is another approach to mobile interaction based on gestures. I'm really loving it, sadly I can used it for day to day activities yet.
The jolla phone at the moment is able to run android apps and hopefully soon that will be available for any image built for android phones. So what that means is that if you don't find a suitable native app for sailfish os, you can always run your favorite android app in sailfish os
Anyone that wants to help bring sailfish os to i9300 is welcome to help, so if you have any idea on how to debug and fix the issues let me know
PS: if any one would like to try it, take a look at my previous post here

@rusty88, I am no developer/expert, but is there any way we can try and use I9300 native libraries or binaries to make GSM (or some other functionality for that matter) work? maybe RIL libs/binaries for GSM?

yes @msri3here technically that is what i'm doing, its using RIL lib based on cm10.1.3 that was working fine before I flash sailfish, but on sailfish the log that RIL daemon dumps is really a mess and haven't figure out why is failing. One thing that I've notice is that RILD (one of its child process) creates the socket at /dev/socket/rild but it's killed afterwards, the sockets disappear and the process restarts all over again
Stracing RILD is not helping either as it seems that everything is Ok.
I'm trying to buy a new smartphone for day to day use so I can dedicate more time to debug on my i9300.
