Ubuntu touch - HTC EVO 3D

Is anyone thinking of Porting the Ubuntu Touch to the evo3d? I would offer to test anything if so!

Saw those, I guess I mis worded that..LOL I was wondering if anyone had success yet. I use Ubuntu at home and Love it. Would be interesting to see it on the phone.. I know the preview on some devices looks awesome....I dont expect it all to work right off the bat, but I am excited about it..
Especially if it will work with Compiz....

Ubunto on Evo? :good:

I am also interested

I am also interested, I see ports are available for Nexus series and for Galaxy, S2, S3 and for HTC One series. Not for EVO 3D. Let me know if you are successful in getting the port for evo3d.

I've ported it to the 3d just to see, evervolv also i believe ported it, but it is very pre-alpha. No cmda, no calls. texts, or data. It is a huge ram hog.
it runs a stripped down version of cm-10 as a base then you flash the ubuntu touch to the sd. Theres a ton of work to do to even make this an alpha. If you can read the porting guide is very easy to follow.
you can follow the progress of all the devices as they are updated here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices#Work_in_progress

The CDMA Evo will probably get the ROM first. Development on the GSM evo is very slow.
I doubt we'll see a stable Ubuntu for this phone for a while.

I would love to see this but I am also unsure if I want to leave the Google play store entirely

[Q] Can you put HTC Sense on Galaxy S2?

Hi there. Im pretty new to Android, but im guessing the answer to this question would be yes. Im also guessing that this would require rooting the SGS2?
Thanks
Not atm. Might be available in the future if some dev put ALOT of work into it, tho I doubt it myself...
Will require root yes.

Thanks for that
maybe after they finish the port on Nexus S, currently on 0.2 working
If you really want Sense that bad, maybe you should go with the HTC Sensation..? It's just as good as the SGS2 (Spec wise)
i am about to buy a new phone and am stuck on this very question
is the s2 going to get a sense ROM???
the original galaxy s still doesnt have a fully functional sense ROM
I have to purchase my phone within the week and the sensation will not be available before mid june
Sure it's possible but I'd imagine it would be a fair bit of work. Hopefully once this phone hits more markets we'll get a few more devs to work on projects like these

I'm not sure why you'd purchase a GSII if you want Sense. To answer your question, the only way to KNOW the GSII is going to get the ROM is to make it yourself. None of us on here can tell you it will happen, or won't happen, with any certainty. It seems extremely unlikely to me though, as most seem to either be satisfied with TouchWiz 4.0 or are interested in something more AOSP-y.
Why can't you wait an extra week or 2 for the Sensation? That seems a much better option for you.

You can make the phone look like sense... With launcher pro plus and a sense mod you can find on this forum. Launcher pro plus has the same look for the widgets, like friendstream.
The sense mod had the sense themes, the dock and so on...
With widgetlocker you can get the sense lockscreen.

I always thought that XDA-Dev is about doing such things, just because you can, not because you need it.
It is, but some people seem to forget that. They also can't think beyond two feet in front of them either, so you will have to remember that when you listen to/read what others have to say.

I'm not doubting that. But remember how much work it is to port something like Sense, and that work needs to be coupled with a desire to do it by someone with a lot of talent. The SGSII may get a stable Sense port, it's entirely possible. But look at the progress made on the original SGS. Last time I looked it was alpha stuff that really wasn't all there yet, and that device has been out a year now. No one should be making any kind of decision on the SGSII with the hope that Sense will be ported.

True, but one can always ask right? Or if you have the tools and knowledge, you can chip in and help to find a solution if it exists. I didn't buy my SGSII in hopes of getting a sense port, but wondering if it was possible shouldn't get me or anyone else flamed for asking either.

You're not getting flamed. There's just an inordinate number of threads asking about Sense on the GSII, and the answer is pretty easy. It's definitely possible, why wouldn't it be, when it's one Android build to another? The real question to answer is...is how difficult will it be and is it likely to happen. I gave you my opinion. If you disagree or don't like it that's fine, it's just my opinion

I'm glad you presented it as your opinion, and you're right in that I can agree or disagree with it. But you aren't the type of person I was referring to. I can respect anyone that presents their case in a clear and concise manner, but I have no respect for people that do nothing but interject with nothing pertinent to add to the discussion. All they do is spout off their opinion like it's gospel and you should agree with them, and if you don't, then you're an idiot.

[EVO VIEW][HC][WIP]HoneyComb on the Evo View 4G

Introduction:
This project is temporarily on hold due to financial hardships. I plan to be back very soon.
Since we have HoneyComb for the Flyer already, I wanted to start a thread to try and get HC ported to the View for us Sprint junkies. I'd like to gather information, not only for porting HC, but for the View as a whole. I've done a ton of searching and still haven't found hardly any info for it.
Questions:
These are the random questions I have for now:
-Does the View run the same hardware as the Flyer?
-What all hardware is in the View?
-What are the odds of successfully flashing the Flyers Radio.img/hboot.img to the View
-Others that I haven't thought of, or don't have the time to write out at the moment.
I'd greatly appreciate all the support I can get on this. I'm not familiar with the View or Flyer at all. I come from Evo 4G and Evo 3D development and would really like to get into the View as well.
Thanks in advance everyone.
Reserved...
Mine too...
Can't contribute much right now, but like the train of thought. I can't imagine hardware wise anything other than the radio is different.
I'd like to know what the flyers partitions look like. If someone could run adb shell df - h and paste the output here that would help immensely.

Wow, I'm very glad someone has come up and decided to do this.
1. I feel like it might be a bit of a waste considering HC is SUPPOSED to be officially released in the future. So it would suck if you did all this hard work to make the port and then like 2 weeks later we get the official version to work with.
2. I will run that command when I get home in like an hour and show you the output.
I wouldn't mind helping you in someway, if I can. I'm familiar with linux command line and such ie. i know what df -h does and what it means and all that stuff, BUT I've never played around with making ROMs or anything like that.
Any help I can give, I'm down to do. Good luck.
edit: I see you are looking for the FLYER'S parition table, not the view's.... my bad.
I feel like a complete douche in doing this but I have to put this project on hold. I've recently come into some financial trouble and had to sell my View for some extra cash. I do have plans to continue this project once I can manage to afford another View. As for the possibility of HTC releasing HC for it before I can get it going, oh well, thats the risk we take when we develop lol.
Can I help beta test this once its up again?
Would it help for the dev to own both a flyer and a view to get development done?
I haven't gotten to take a look at the flyer, but I am under impression that the view is not too much different...
We also have a donation going on in the general chat for someone to develop on the view, if this works for the OP
Apart from the 4G and CMDA capabilities, the flyer and the evo view 4G are one and the same tablet.

Yeah, only the radios and the color are different. I suppose if you could take the official HC build for the Flyer and somehow merged the WiMax and CDMA code into that build it may work, but I'm not well versed on how to go about doing that. I see builds on the Evo 3D that are Sense 3.5 but they don't have working 4G for whatever reason.
On the OG Evo they made 4G work on CM7 by building code from the ground up to work with the hardware, but it hasn't moved over to 3D yet and there is no official build from CM for the 3D. Maybe that code could be ported? Of course it would probably have to be an AOSP build which I've not seen yet for either the View or Flyer.
I sold my Flyer Wifi and picked up an Evo View 4G so hopefully this gets sorted out. Would really like to get Honeycomb on the View. I really enjoyed it on the Flyer!

Actually there are more differences that that, although that is where they all stem from for sure.
We don't even have source for the Flyer HC release yet, so the work needed would be even worse. It's really not worth looking at until we have source and by that time given the traditional HTC lag in releasing it we'll have HC on the view already.

I was reading about here for the possibility of an AOSP build, if there is one done, it's likely we would loose pen input functionality on Flyers and Views since it seems to be based on sense.

make sure to read globatron's sticky in the general section before accepting the HC OTA update. strong recommendation to wait until there is a patched hboot so that your device isn't forced back into a permanent s-on
Honeycomb for EVO View is now available!!

Rom porting

How hard is porting roms from the att HTC one x to the rezound? Please don't go to hard on me. Just was curious. Seems a lot of devs that are here also are on HTC one x. Awesome phone but sucks not having s-off and no expandable memory
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
I would think it would take some effort and knowledge to port a rom and have it run up to standards. So probably not that easy.
Thank you Jon. Just was curious cause I have both phones. The one x is very snappy but the rezound us alot more fun to. Dev with.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
Actually i just looked and found a guide to porting a sense rom in between devices. It actually doesnt look that hard, it looks more like replacing just replacing files if anything. I think it just depends on what rom your trying too port. If your trying to port over a different sense version it might require more work. If your trying to port an AOSP rom it might not be too difficult. Porting an android version is probably the hardest.
I see. Would be nice to try figure out that stuff. I am too inexperienced to try I think. Done minor things. Was just seeing if the one xl jellybean update that dropped last night would help the devs over here.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
I was actually thinking of making a very basic rom to start with like a sense 3.6 rom that might have some tweaks and such. Maybe try making my own AOSP rom, though im not entirely sure how to go about making an AOSP rom. I suppose i could also try using the guide i found to port over a sense rom as well.
Wanna share where that guide is?

Just keep in mind when porting, it will be better as well as easier if you can port from a device similar to what you are porting too. Similar cpus, gpus, lte, screen resolution and network type. It all needs to be taken into consideration.
Personally if I was you, I'd start looking at Sprint devices if you want to port to the Rezound. Sprint and Verizon have the closest devices and the closest bands of any other providers out there.
Of course there are always tricks to getting around porting a full rom. Once you get to going and learn your way around porting real good, you'll learn what they are and how to do it. If you need an example of this, look up my AOKP + TouchWiz hybrid for the Rezound.
Edit: This thread made me feel nastalgic. I remember back when I first started porting. I worked and worked hard learning new tricks here and there. Back then I wrote a guide. It wouldn't be useful now, but if you wanted to humor me and see how this old dog did it back in the day you should check it out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1169570

On viper3d i had functional 3d video and 3d viewing photos, but 3dcamera wasnt working.
Unless someone can write the 3D drivers from scratch (which would take the work of a god) or HTC releases the 3D drivers, we won't see 3D camera outside anything that isn't a port. Kinda the same problem with FFC on the original EVO

Hi, sorry for being a newbie and not understanding all of the compatability etc
But other roms have 3d camera working, eg genesis rom has 3d functionality aswell as normal RUU's, why can anyone extract that "script"

If reading the full source code was so easy, then why only 3d you would even have iOS, ubuntu or any operating system running natively on your phone.
You can decompile many apps but that's a different thing.

Hi, i understand that it is not easy, but what is the actual reason for not making them compatible, e.g., HTC can launch a sense 4 rom and a 3D rom, what is hindering the 2 to merge, why is the obstruction, I dont have much programming experience, but I do understand... a little, is it a few classes that arent compatible,etc
This is for interest sake, however I would really like to specialize in Android a a whole when finishing my BSc CS degree, I love solving problems like these...

It is just not that simple. Each version of Sense is built on a specific version of Android and is specific to that particular device. You can port ROMs between devices but some work may be necessary to get some things working. However, without the source it can be difficult or near impossible to fix some critical things.
The carriers also care about new phone sales and do not care about old phones. Especially 2 year old phones. At some point you have to break off and drop old technology.

Ubuntu Touch porting guide

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Porting
Guide for porting Ubuntu touch has just been published. It uses CM 10.1 as base(drives and stuff) so since we have CM port for our devices it should be relatively easy to port Ubuntu touch to HTC Evo 3D
Let the porting begin
I'm going to go to my warehouse today and grab me my extra Evo, and the porting will begin.
I just installed linux, I'm going to see what I can do aswell

But hopefully in time they'll make it better. This is a developer preview after all.

Someone should actually do this : P I have my old evo 3d that I am not doing anything with and would at least like to try out Ubuntu since there is no dualboot yet for Nexus 4.
I'm partly through the porting. I've gotten quite a bit of bootloops, like, random ones. Sometimes the phone would boot up normally, then sometimes it will hang and then just go to a, what I call, recovery brick, in which I need to recover from it by running adb reboot. Once I get this all figured out, expect it to be available to CDMA users. I don't have a GSM 3vo, don't have the money for that! Hopefully I can get a friend of mine to donate to me for it, and I can work on that. I know for a fact that when I'm finished, the ROM will work with at least Virgin Mobile, I'll get my extra 3vo on Sprint for a month to see what I need to do, if anything to get it working through their network.

If you Develop for the GSM, I'll be more than happy to test it.

I would Love to give this a try when you get it done!
I would be more than willing to test this as well. As I foresee myself diving into Dev work for the EVO 3D. I'm learning so much from all yew awesome Developers here on XDA. I myself come from PC/Console modding/hacking/Overclocking & once I found XDA and bought an OV as my first smartphone I became hooked I love linux as its my goto OS so I would love to see this actually work!! If its based off 10.1 everything in theory should work except 3D...unless Canonical came up with a fix. Now that I think about it..if they did we could implement said fix into JB roms that have 3D borked. Sorry strayed from OP; I will test this for ya!!! CDMA EVO V 4g(3D) fully hacked down to HBoot S-off etc. Post a link or PM me
Bumping because I can
The beta's are now live, this includes GSM, texting and so forth. is someone already looking into this? I'm a GSM user so I will be looking into this for GSM user (looking into means private intrest, I won't be releasing anything to the community as of yet)
btw Im in no way a kernel developer so if someone is up to checking out the kernel stuff would be nice
As of the specs, we will be able to run it since this is from ubuntu themselfs:
Entry-level Ubuntu phones will require a 1Ghz Cortex A9 processor and between 512MB and 1GB of memory, while the high-end superphones that double as PCs will require a quad-core A9 or Intel Atom processor and at least 1GB RAM.
Note: These specs were found under the operators and OEMs section of canonicals website and may not reflect the requirements for installation on a android phone

A little bump, no developer is interested in ubuntu ?

This looks nice.

Most of the other devices that have it say it is not very good. I have yet to try it myself.
