Hello,
Developers, I really need help to get the ubuntu-touch port working again!
After the first release of Ubuntu-Touh I tried to port it again to our devices, but I don't get them booting. I only get a black screen. I have updated all sources on github and made the appropriate changes. You can find all relevant sources and information on my new website http://danwin.github.io/ubuntu-touch.html where I have uploaded the non-bootng builds for developers.
I still have the old builds available for those, who want a booting ubuntu-touch, but without any functionality: http://danwin.github.io/ubuntu-touch.html
WoW!!!! Thanks for this. really looking forward to it
You just realised my dreams!
we need screenshots !!!!!
It's aliveeee! Installed, and right now i make some tests. It's very slow for the moment (even on my SanDisk Mobile Ultra Class 10 card UHS1 with 30MB/s speed), but is running on NeoV. I don't find from where i can make some screenshots, the graphics is missed up, the dialer and more apps are not fitting on the screen but, this bugs can be solved with the past of time.
Hi Dan!
You are the man! I supose you are the first person port ubuntu-touch on Xperia Neo V
This works on Xperia Neo (hallon) also!
Great Work... I hope you fix screen size soon
Re: Ubuntu-touch for Neo V
Awesome work man,keep it up!
:thumbup:
Surely gonna try it

A fix for the screen resolution is now available. Thanks jasousa
I like the way it is look For now it useless (no GSM ?) .. but Im waiting for stable version or usable BETA

Yes, there is no way of making screenshots, but I made some photos with my camera and packed them into a zip, sorry for the bad quality: http://ubuntuone.com/6keWFpFBG0kEsVF7mBF54D
No GSM function than i will wait for better version
Thanks for your effort
really laggy now
RIL not working
it's acceptable as it's a under development build
@All Devs please lend some of precious time to ubuntu for neo v
@DanWin1210 You can maybe get some help from some of the FXP team (Binary for example).
I once asked em if they were tempted starting a new project.
They weren't at first, some threw AOKP, others Firefox OS. Then I said Ubuntu and 2 (or 3) of the team said "Ubuntu is kinda interesting".
So, if you can take care of building the ROM, I think they wont mind helping you with little fixes and stuffs.
Just try to get in touch with them.

Hi, I think you mean Bin4ry not Binary right?
But thanks for your suggestion, I have just written a private message to Bin4ry and are waiting for a reply.
dual boot?
please don not consider this greed, but can we dual boot my phone, lik running Ubuntu and reboot and switch to JB or any Custom ROM? cause that cud be more flaunting and Ubuntu can be used alongside the daily routine.

I highly doubt the possibility especially keeping in mind our device configs plus we do not have much great devs left here!
Running one OS like ubuntu won't be less cool imho

Bin4ry is really busy at the moment, but he "will peak a look here and there but no promise for fast help", so we'll have to wait until he has some spare time or I figure it out my self how to make the daily images working.

Generally this should be possible, but as I'm no developer yet, I'm unable to make dualboot working.

Hello People, I'm Moon And trough my world of android have i gotten lowend devices for own use. i love them because they're so cheap and still Great.
I have come from the GT540 Optimus to the ZTE blade and now the x8,
(I kept the Blade trough.) I am a big fan of Racht and his sense ports, what i want to ask you people for, since Racht seems to have disappeared should we do what developers and friends of him do. We finish what he started.
Most important is currently The GL Drivers I think, Maybe some RAM Management. The free ram is very low. (about 40\50mb) This causes Rosie to reload after coming from other apps. this would be cool to fix.
I asked XDA MEMBER # Kenia1234 (he ported it to the SGS)
About 3d\open gl and wifi. this was his reply.
however as regards 3D I fixed it using my device's libs under system/lib/egl or under /vendor/lib/egl and of course using a CM7 powered kernel...
as regards the wifi, it's a little bit more complicated...you'd need to have the bins of your device under /system/bin and the firmwares all in order, as the kernel wants to...
hope this was useful!!

Yes it was useful Thank you. any other Sense porters please contact us.
I know a little about this but not enough to do it myself yet.
Thank you in case of that you want to help.

I think he needs a little rest...
racht said that he will port HTC kernel and that means fully working Sense rom as soon as he's back.
I don't know where he is or what is he doing, but he's on xda often. (last activity today).
And I think he's getting Xperia Ray - his post here. Also that's the last thing he posted.
Anyway, the man will spoke, and we shoud donate to him a new device if he's selling his one. To continue development. But, we need to wait until the man spokes!!
I appreciate racht so much, and I hope he doesn't forget our X8.
OH.

I See, Thanks for Providing this information to the masses.
The Ray is the best Choice after the Arc, For me, Since i like big screens.
But yes. Lets just hope for the best. the Guy i updated on, (On the op) is doing GB sense too. We should let Racht Rest and hope for the best.
In racht's last Sense Port there is a lot of bugs. I really love that rom but it has a lot of bugs.
I was without SIM Card and in the Notification Bar it was showing that i used %S(something like this) tries for the unlock key and blablabla.
SD Safe to remove bug in ROOT Apps
I tried to connect the phone to my car radio and it doesn't show anything in the phone, only the icon changed to charging, but no led, no popup for connecting, nothing. And the radio does not recognized the phone. (i think it will happen the same in the computer, i think)
3d, wifi, 3G and vibra not working, as it shows on the original topic
So this is what has to be worked on
I cannot help you so much because i'm not a good java developer, i can only understand some parts of the code, but i cannot write it. But if you want a beta tester i'm here to try to find the maximum bugs i can
I will love if someone could continue what Racht did
I am following the news.
As I have said some months ago, X8 is now added to official CM tree, you can see here :
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=shakira
So, I guess thats the end of CM story (even that I prefer tweaks by doixanh).
Sense rom depends on kernel features that do not work on .29 kernels.
See HTC threads, all new roms require .32 or .35 kernels, lets hope X8 will get a new kernel ported.
And thanks again for support

Great to see your alive Racht! And whut o:? does this mean that this rom is a fully working CM7 release like my Blade has?
And Yes, I've heard about the basics of porting sense.
Even trough you would be the best teacher.
Does this mean That Your Leaving the Shakira forums now racht?
wow! is this ROM stable knowing that it came from cyanogen?? please can someone confirm this? it doesn't have any details of its features included on it...

As he wrote, he wouldn't be developing sense on X8. That's bad. Anyone want to take care of this project?
Blagus said that we have to port HTC kernel first, but it's .32 or newer kernel. We have only .29 now. Therefore it follows that we can't have sense on X8 now.

It´s just the FXP 030, AFAIK.
Hi there,
as i was reading about the release of the Android 4.0 source code i´m asking myself how long will it take until we have a custom ROM based on android 4.0!
Are some crews already working on it?
Please give me a feedback when you can!
we will get the roms when we get the roms. CM9 should be out soon now that they have the code, which they said they needed to start production, so possibly when we have that, our devs can start punching out some roms. also, in the ICS thinktank on the development page and for example the nexus s forum, they are working on the touchscreen drivers so that they can test more components of the rom.
just be patient
seems to be a lot of time until we have some roms. also Z isnt around anymore.
dunno how to deal with touchscreen drivers for the nexus s! why are they important for a X10 rom? touchscreen is already working isnt it?
as Sony Ericsson is an official member of CyanogenMod now, im woundering that there is NO build for the X10i...........
Curios isnt it?

Official CM support has stopped for the X8 and X10mini/mini pro, since 2.3.7 is the best thing that those phones can handle...and the aftermarket support for X10 would end soon I believe, maybe right after the stable mod comes out.

The FXP is the official one? Seriously?
The FXP Rom is far away from being stable enough for daily use. Weekly updates and not even finish sources for all parts.......
They are working for a long time on this ROM already and ey..... dont get it wrong.... i´m dontating ALWAYS when using a custom Rom as my daily one.....
....but in last time i lost my faith........
Z gone away! He was the mega-brain behind many progresses........
Dunno what we have to expect in the future!
Will the FXP team finish there work sometime?
As far as i know the FXP CM7 is NOT based on Android 4.0. Its base on? 2.3.4? I dont know........
I was getting an eye on the Galaxy Nexus but it is soooooooo expensive .......
going to stay on my X10

When all the bugs are gone, it will be released as stable.
Go join the bug hunt if you want it faster...
It's highly unlikely that we will ever get a fully stable Android 4.0 rom, for the reasons listed elsewhere in these fora. We may get ports, but they will take time, and lots of it.
Be patient and don't ask for ETAs.

It's not based on anything, they are literally making a rom with sources that they are writing. That's why it took ages compared to other ported roms.

Actually the rom is very stable for daily use with very minor bugs that they are working on. if you have lost faith in a device that is 2 years old with no support now from SE heres some advice, get a new phone! but for the rest of us who enjoy having such a great array of developers that very capable of bringing us support when we need it. Yes Z has done alot for the X10, but dont forget other devs and dont just focus on one.
First rule of CM7: Dont ask for an ETA! you must be patient like with anything. If google and samsung released ICS earlier, imagine what we would be missing.
Well clearly CM7 isnt based on 4.0, cos the source code has only been released to us. you cant expect every dev to be up day and night sitting at there pc waiting for the code, they are real people with real lifes.
Well if your going to stay with the X10, please for the love of god, stop complaining about how we havent got ICS roms yet when no other devices has a nearly stable one yet.

STOP RAGING IN THIS THREAD!
So about the android 4.0 storry: Sony will spend an Android 4.0 update for the X10 ARC! The normal X10 isnt that far away ........... but still such a big prob to port it?
There will be alot devices which get a stock update to ICS and they will be stable.
The point i dont understand is why devs are working that hard on a mod which is already outdated..........
Ofc they try to re-create android with there own source codes but ey.......... you seriously thinking about writing your own operating system for a mobile phone?
Android have been founded by high skilled (and highly paid) informatics guys hired by google! I guess 50% of our devs are <18 years and not even skilled in programming. Don´t get this wrong now..... i dont want to blame you guys! But why do you think we can write a new firmware..............?
Maybe you running behind the wrong goals ............
For me the crew should focus on Android 4.0. Thats the only ROM ppl want to have now. And ey yeah it would be awesome to have ICS on my 2 years old X10!

First, it's quite hard to port 4.0 onto our X10 since we have a really old kernel (.29), not to mention whether our hardware can handle that or not...
Second, the FXP team's goal is to get the X10 up to CM specs so that we can have as much official CM support as we want until the newest android versions become too much for the X10 to handle.
And don't even try to say that most of the devs here are below eighteen, because most of them aren't and have a proper job. If you are looking for child labour to develop your device you're at the wrong forum.

What we have: an almost stable CM7 ROM.
What we can expect for the future: a fully stable CM7 ROM.
What we -might- get: an ICS ROM that probably won't ever be stable.
By the way, what is an X10 ARC? Never heard of that device before.
Assuming that you mean the Arc, there are huge differences between the X10 and the Arc. It will probably not even be practical to try and port ICS from it.
The devs are working on "outdated" CM7 because it is most likely to become fully stable after some work. If they start working on ICS now, they won't have a fully stable CM7 ROM to help them. CM9, based on ICS, isn't even released yet, so do elaborate on what you meant when you said the mod they were working on was outdated. There isn't even any phones with ICS yet...
By describing the devs as under 18s with little coding experience you are actually being extremely naive and disrespectful. Go have a chat with aZuZu or DooMLord about kernels, you'll see what I mean. I don't know if that's what you were intending, but you sound quite rude.
Building a working, let alone stable, ICS ROM, or any ROM for that matter, is not easy. It takes time to build, test, find bugs and iron them out.
Also, for your information, a handful of devs are already working on an ICS port alongside their current projects. Have a quick look in the dev section.
I hope you see my point now.
As many of you might have noticed, I've been pushing lots of MiniCM sources the last days. ICS is done and JB is on its way.
I'd like to take this opportunity and invite other developers or members that would like to contribute patches to do so. We already have some people contributing code for MiniCM and I would like to see more joining in. The code is available at: https://github.com/MiniCM
Why do this now?
This arch is reaching its limit as far as android development is concerned and there is too much ROM fragmentation for an old phone like this.
I know that most of the ROMs around are already using MiniCM binaries or sources and I'm ok with that. However, now is the time to consider contributing back and helping this project.
MiniCM is a fork of CM dedicated for these old phones. Notice that we are never gonna have official CM support, this is actually the cause that MiniCM serves
Licensing
I decided to keep my modifications Apache licensed. This is what gave android such a rapid development and I'd say has proven successful so far

We (the mods) will have a close eye on things, so lets not have any nonsense :good:

Oooppss, hour of my time wasted Cyanogen guys are fast
FAQ of course
and remember, for each version (miniCM7,9 and 10) there is a dedicated FAQ
that you can find here
I have a little idea. Many users of X8 and X10 Mini/Mini Pro uses stock kernel and can't unlock bootloader. I tried to make an addon to boot MiniCM7 based ROM's on stock, but still without success. With your help, nobodyAtall and other users, we can make such addon. I'm too unexperienced yet to do this by myself. What are your thoughts?

Hi eagleeyetom,
Unfortunately stock kernel is VERY outdated to be usable in modern ROMs (e.g. gingerbread onwards).
In essence, one would have to replace the kgsl system to get the graphics to work decently with latest adreno blobs. Also I'm not sure if usb would be working since this too is outdated.
Other things to note: RAM (175MB if I remember correctly) is desperately low for modern Android versions, performance would also not be good enough for daily use. Kernel-side, I'm doing my best to boost performance as much as possible by backporting almost all of the main components that android uses from later versions.
All in all, for gingerbread it would be possible with serious performance sacrifices which I'm not willing to accept (even as a user). For ICS/JB, just forget it.
Perhaps a good project would be to make bootloader unlocking work for recent devices...
I understand your concerns and also think that stock is utter piece of crap, but it's still worth a shot. Such universal patch would improve development to our old shakiras. Your MiniCM is way better than official CM - really great job. Even with these bugs you've mention it's better than spent cash to unlock bootloader. I really admire the work of Alf and you - it's amazing to have such modern kernels to over-two-years-old devices.
Worse performance is a fact, but the ability to use almost every CM7 ROM on stock is tempting. This would be a great contribution to our small community.
P.S. I also think that you should have Elite Recognized Developer title. Such good work should be appreciated.

I see what you mean. Gingerbread compatibility is feasible BUT is gonna be pretty slow - in fact REALLY slow compared to MiniCM7.
We try to give a top quality ROM, so if this would ever happen it would be like a flashable zip and totally unsupported
I hope a lot pf devs will join the development. Cause everybody is working alone and if you all work together, it will bbe better for you and all ROM users. You'll develop quicker and easier.

nAa, is there a chance we can have CWM 6.XX on our GB kernels ?

I think it is possible, you can try it yourself, because you are able to change the recovery of the Kernel
actually it's possible. you just need to change the recovery file in the ramdisk with the one from JBMiniProject kernel or with one you compiled.
Why do not use the "Camera ICS+" in the market to replace the default camera app instead of taking a lot of time to fix the camera ???

nAa roms are pure CM roms custom built for our device. If you see there is no third party apps. Not in GB and ICS and neither in JB.

I was trying something similar last night but with FroyoPro25.. Trying to get usb tethering working in it..
Can you all focus on GB please?
Working on ICS and JB is useless because they will never work smoothly on these old phones

And what has left on GB to be developed? How can we improve it?

Hello,
Developers, I really need help to get the ubuntu-touch port working again!
After the first release of Ubuntu-Touh I tried to port it again to our devices, but I don't get them booting. I only get a black screen. I have updated all sources on github and made the appropriate changes. You can find all relevant sources and information on my new website http://danwin.github.io/ubuntu-touch.html where I have uploaded the non-bootng builds for developers.
I still have the old builds available for those, who want a booting ubuntu-touch, but without any functionality: http://danwin.github.io/ubuntu-touch.html
Did ubuntu can be used as daily software/rom ?

Not yet, but in 2-3 days we'll have kernel fixes available to add support for daily builds of ubuntu, which have a lot of improvements.

Review
tested it out... Great work DanWin1210..
Although it took me i guess 45 min to 1 hour to install the ubuntu part, it was good and working..
Is nice n slow and laggy..but hey, pretty good for developmental stages..
As a review, i'll jot down some working/not working stuff that I found.
Working:
standard apps like messaging (only UI)
gallery,
the other ubuntu UI as well
Not Working:
Network
Clock (no date n time from network)
Wifi detects network so I assume its working, although the keyboard dosent show up so no way of entering the password and testing it out.
A note for all the users:
All in all, if you're mad about having a look at ubuntu, do install this rom; installation does take a lot of time but never hangs, so be patient.
Mind you though, the network and all isnt working so the phone pretty much remains a toy..
So wait a couple of days, until the devs work their magic, and get it up n running on our hardware insufficient phones..
Also, a note for DanWin1210:
If possible please do post how you are developing the rom. It would be very informative. Github is for proficients, and for "advanced beginners " like me, it would be quite helpful.
So, thanks again for taking the initiative. keep it up!
thx man, relly owesome, great work
Wow,it is amazing! I must try it now Well done good job dude :highfive:

The keyboard for entering the wifi password only shows up after a restart.
On http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Porting is a good guide about porting CyanogenMod-10.1 to ubuntu, I was using this guide with sources from Antibillos (https://github.com/cm42semc) for haida. After I got it running, I made a thread here and asked some developers to make the daily images of ubuntu working, which are not booting yet. Officiallysonyrebel is working on some kernel patches for that. When he has finished with them, I'll build the device-specific images with these modifications, upload them here and hope, that everything is working.
Awesome. cant wait to try it!
Waiting until this gets stable for daily use : D
sony xperia ray

Cool!
Wow i am have tested this works normal yes its laggs many bugs but still nice interface and ill will wait till daily usage release Good work with port :good:
AMAZING at last
am I right in thinking this is less then 80Mb in size once unpacked to the mobile???????
making it probably the smallest ROM in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Been looking for the worlds smallest ROM and I think I have found it
going to have to purchase a bigger SDcard before I can test out this bad boy

partially yes, because It is a minimal build of android, but you also have to unpack the generic ubuntu part onto your sd-card, which is really big (more than 600 MB)

Thats a small price to pay considering most of my apps sit on my system rather than on the sdcard
its lots of system memory that I need to improve performance and stability not bothered about sdcard
Hi guys,
I wanna clarify some of my doubts... Actually this rom is android os right?? Only the UI is polished to be ubuntu ??
If no.....then how can I use playstore (apk) apps in this os?? And if this is ubuntu, can it be used as daily phone os???

This is ubuntu, not android, so you won't be able to install apk apps only deb files, and it is not usable as a daily phone OS yet, because we have to use the old mwc-demo version and a complete version of ubuntu-touch with all functions will be released in 2014, it is only intended for developers, testers and to have a port for our Xperia2011 devices available. If we could get the daily builds working, it would have a lot of improvements.
Hello friends, mates, our beloved & respected developers..
Even though our X10 being an old device today, it runs upto 4.2.2 & 4.3, All credits goes to our developers. :good::good::good:
I thank them all, behalf of all our X10 users.. For all their hard work and time for all these wonders happening even today..
Its a joy n fun thing (my personal opinion, no harms) using n trying lot of variations of custom roms :silly:
Now coming to point..
As we all know, the final official update was Gingerbread. Ever since then our devs have been supporting through all these custom roms n kernels which all works wonders on our X10.
But the major n minor bugs still persists without a proper solution till now.. For ex: camcorder, wifi tether bugs. (May be its not important for daily use, but still its a bug and those features may be useful at times..)
I just started moving my mind over newer emerging OS like Ubuntu touch, Firefox OS, Tizen, etc.,
(I am not a developer, I just know to use custom roms & love them, thats it).
Just curious to know things about other OS, like if it is possible to port them to our X10, what may be the requirements, what may be advantages n disadvantages (if any) etc., etc.,
So friends, mates, our Respected Developers, please do share your infos..
Thank u all.. Love u all.. :good: :victory:

i am agreed with u mate. i own a x10i since 2010 and i love it. i started my android experience and development from this x10 and i really like to see a new development for this phone. its a beast.

Me too own this from 2010 sept. i love this phone except for 2 things..
1. Total ram is low ( of course our devs made wonders over gb. even jb works very well even though its shouldn't be in our device.. :highfive: )
2. No official updates after 2.3, i hope thats the reason behind camcorder issues in ics, jb roms, i read somewhere stating similar to this.
I don't know y our devs didn't take interest in other OSs.. Some strong reasons will be there.. We may understand if the devs respond and clear our doubts over these

Hello,
The main problem is the kernel ... 2.6.29 is too old for Ubuntu ... will continue to make 3.0 kernel booting on x10 when I'll get back my x10 ...

I just mentioned about our hardware, thats not enough for me at times..
My personal opinion, If sony could have placed 512 mb ram on this awesome phone, It'll be great..

which rom is based on 4.3 ?
and about Ubuntu and other OS, hope that someone will compile a new kernel, I guess that's a long work...
