I am working on getting Ubuntu Touch up on Dell Streak 5.
I got it up to the point when it boots, but crashes surfaceflinger, drmserver, mediaserver, servicemanager right after start and I could use some help. So I decided to share what I have so far. :fingers-crossed:
You will need:
CWM recovery (StreakMod recovery won't do; I use ClockWork-6.0.1.2)
saucy-preinstalled-touch-armhf.zip from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch/daily-preinstalled/
cm-10.1-20130818-UNOFFICIAL-streak.zip from https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0BwLXYTrPyZc0YzFNQnlENjZQM1E&export=download
Flashing:
Reboot to recovery
Install cm-10.1-...-streak zip
Wipe user data / factory reset
Install saucy-preinstalled-touch zip (be patient - it takes A LOT of time)
You're done - reboot. Take a look at logcat.
THANKS:
This would not be possible without invaluable help of the following people
- giveen (CM10 android device files)
- nom051205 (CM9 android device files)

DISCLAIMER
Please keep this thread technical.
Please restrain from praises - instead you can get me a beer (preferably of your own brew).
Please restrain from "this sucks and yo momma" comments - you will be quietly ignored.
Part of the problem is the need for a proper CM10.1 port. You've probably seen that in the porting guide. Also the ICS binaries/proprietary files will probably help you. Try it from our ICS port or grab from a similiar device.
Also try going back to quantal, as saucy requires a flipped image (loads ubuntu first, then android parts)
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch-preview/quantal/monthly-04.1/
Also this really helped get my device to display
Step 5. Download http://d-h.st/eFQ
Step 5a. adb push libc-2.15.so /data/ubuntu/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libc-2.15.so
Step 6. adb reboot
Don't forget to set up your DPI conf file.

Is it really worth trying?
Assuming that it would work, it does not help me in getting saucy up, and running outdated release isn't really a goal.
Could you please describe what is changed in your libc-2.15.so? (Or point me to a post explaining the change)

I'm still at the point where the system boots, but Ubuntu services are crashing right after. :crying:
So I moved to getting Android up, to have a working base to work on. See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45668042&postcount=43

It won't happen until I find out why enabling devtmpfs makes Streak's kernel unbootable.
So far I found out that it fails on memory initialization then, but without serial console and kprint, I'm unable to debug this issue.
I found a process online in which ubuntu is flashed over streakdroid
Is it same or different.?
If used, is it smoother.?

gona have a go at this later but i would prefer to do it with 10.04
It works on the streak
Just trying to get keyboard input working now
Bahh i cant post pictures.
i got it to work but then was pissing arround with 10.04 and broke it now i cant get it working again lol
would love to do this it would be the perfect phone/desktop like when you get home you drop it in the dock and it out to a monitor with ubuntu then when you dissconnect it it would switch to android cant wait to get my hands on this and do a little output to monitor
Going to have a go now will post how it goes
check out the ubuntu karmic rootfilesystem I put together for the htc hd2. can be found on my thread (see signature)
anyone had a go at this?
i have downloaded his filesystem but i dont know how id get it to boot?
Follow the YouTude video, I did it earlier and it worked a charm.
Have fun.
i mean the hd2 image ... i did the nexus one way easily....
i started the thread lol and did it...
only takes 5 mins but the hd2 one has much more funtionality...
Oh! Doh! LOL
No, sorry about that chap.
Sorry to have to ask this but........
What will this give me over the standard browser or something like logmein?
fully functional linux
desktop browser
desktop programs
and unlike log me in you dont need a computer on somewhere else and it doesnt rely on an internet connection
I'm working on a new version of Ubuntu for hd2. If there is any interest in trying it on the streak and people are ready to do some tests for me I will be able to meet the necessary modifications for networking etc to work.

I don't do chroots. What you see in the video is the real deal. Complete stock ubuntu 10.10.
We might run into trouble though with the lack of kernel source code fro the streak.

It should hold the kernel configuration for the streak. It is important to have some options available.
Possible problems are: You don't have zcat. Then you can do

and just upload that file
If dell kernel hackers didn't enable some kernel option the file might not be present.
edit: without the full kernel sources I will never be able to make it work as flawlessly as it does on the hd2. if you want to take action visit this thread

write a mail to dell. tell them you want a fully copy of the ship and update kernel source code. if they ignore you report it to

didn't have zcat, it was included with the market install of busybox though... anyways, here you go!

Nice, thanks! It has everything that is needed to boot the way I boot it on the hd2.
If I upload a kernel, initrd and cmdline, can somebody create blob.fastboot from it ?

That's great.
I am interested in running Maemo/MeeGo on Streak, but for first experiments I have chosen Ubuntu, which I am familiar with.
I wasn't able to build android-msm-2.6.32 kernel for Streak and I even started an action to convince Dell to release the sources: http://android.modaco.com/content/d...ell-to-release-kernel-source-call-for-action/
Later I managed to find a way of creating boot.img for Streak: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7959574&postcount=6
and I was able to chroot a rootstrap of Ubuntu on my MMC.
Now I am working on porting Ubuntu standard initrd to Streak boot.img
Using default android kernel as Dell haven't released the source yet.
We may join forces, as I am very new to Android hardware (but not to Linux itself).
hey everyone, I've been with android since release on the g1 and have followed it since. but now I'm tired of being just a user and want to learn how to develope roms.

So again, Im looking for a dev who would want to teach me, if some money is wanted, that's fine. thanks for reading. reply here and/or PM me. I am very serious about learning, I dont just want little tips/tricks or pointers.
Edit: I have a bit of skill in C++ and Java, but nothing too significant. I lost interest in writing programs, same with apps, no interest, everything has been done over and over again.

Some sort of a guide to developing roms. even porting. not an "all in one" guide. thats unrealistic and would most likely suck, seeing as its such a broad subject.
that site, is... i dont even know. not to insult you, but i found it to be useless. the single guide you have on there is for setting up the htc kitchen, which i figured out in 5 minutes on my own. I would suggest making a "Guides" section of that site, so it isnt JUST forums, and adding, well, GUIDES. you pointed me there to help me, but there was nothing on the forums even close to helping me.
What os are you running? Have you succesfully compiled the source yet either aosp or cm?
CyanogenMod's github is a great place to learn repo the source. Read the commits @ github.com/cyanogenmod all commits are commented to make reading changes easier.
Aosp is also on [email protected] github.com/android building aosp can be more tricky.
Cm is aosp with many custom packages included to see what is and isn't aosp [email protected] github.com/CyanogenMod/android
default.xml contains references to what packages are cyanogen and what is aosp
Either way you need to start by getting very familiar with
github.com/CyanogenMod/android_vendor_cyanogenmod
Look in the products folder at the .mk files
and how they are invoked by core/Makefile in
github.com/CyanogenMod/android_build
Also pay attention to build/envsetup.sh

your last post was quite helpful. Barely anything at all.
best bet start by getting the source to compile... sounds simple but can be tricky
most importantly get to know ~/android/system/build
you can't produce a custom rom without understanding when and how everything is compiled

"Dont forget to hit the thanks button if i helped you"
I'm new to the Dev world myself... I've done a lot of reading and research and I've gotten to the point of building and modding Roms to contribute to the community here. I've only done rom's for the Eris, which isn't as complex as some of the other devices, but I'm willing to share my knowledge if you need it.
The basics you will need:
1. Linux (I've tried doing this in windows, not worth the hassle!), either ubuntu or linux mint work well (Mint is a windows "like" os, so it might be easier to start with that).
2. Android SDK Kit (You can google it)
3. APK Manager (If you need to decompile APK's to make changes, this tool makes things a lot easier!)
4. Android Kitchen (A must if you are porting and to keep your Rom's cleaned up!)
5. A working understanding of XML and some java code is extremely helpful!
6. Time and Commitment! Devving, by any standard, is a time consuming process! You can easily make a Rom, but keeping the masses happy requires updates to nightly sources and time to rebuild what you've started!
I've spent so much time updating, compiling, modding and theming that my family voices plenty of complaints! But, the reward of building something that works and seeing others benefit from your creation is well worth the effort! Balancing your time, if you have a family to consider, is key to succeeding with this!
If you'd like more help, send me a PM! I'll work with you as much as I can!
I setup the kitchen, as i previously said, but didnt find any use for it except maybe adding minor features to a completely stock rom. i have linux set up with the SDK. i just dont know where to go from there...even compiling from source

Sent you a PM back, bro.
Having Linux, SDK and the Kitchen setup gets you about 75% of the way there!
The basic steps to compiling from source run through the Terminal in Linux. You will need to pull in the CM repository (the link jbirdvegas posted will give the instructions to do that). Once the repository is setup, you will need to load the proprietary files for the device you're building for in order to sync the correct source. (repo sync -j16 will sync the source and build your folders for compiling). You will need to plug in your phone through USB and extract the proprietaries through ADB. Example, my build location in Linux is "android/system" in that folder there will be a device folder with folders for each device brand and build. My eris is listed in CM as desirec, so my drive folder location is "android/system/devices/htc/desirec". In order to pull my proprietary files, I would have to do the following:
1. In terminal; "cd android/system/devices/htc/desirec" (This puts me in the correct build folder)
2. su (puts terminal in root) - type in password
3. "./adb kill-server" (shuts down adb)
4. "./adb start-server" (starts adb)
5. "exit" (puts you back in standard terminal)
6. "./adb devices" (verify your device shows - if you get ????????, adb did not start right)
7. "./extract-files.sh" (this will extract the proprietary files from your device and place them in the device folder for building)
8. "cd"
9. "cd android/system" (puts you back in the CM build folder)
Once that's done, all you basically need to do after that is:
"source build/envsetup.sh" (Setup source build)
"lunch" (this will give you a list of builds - pick your device)
"make -j# bacon" (# is the number of processors your phone has +1)
The Repo Sync and Make commands will take time, but once you've finished the Make cycle, your Rom (if there were no errors) will be compiled, signed and ready to flash on your device. From there, you can use the kitchen to add "tweaks" to your rom (CM sources are usually pre-setup, but you can still add things like "data/app" access to your Rom).
Hopefully this takes you to the next step. PM me if you run into problems, I'll help you through it.
If you get abd shows your device as ??????????

jbirdvegas has it right on the adb correction if your device isn't found. I'll look for setting up the rules and post the link a little later.
Glacier doesn't have instructions yet, but there are CM builds for it. If you follow the evo instructions that will get you setup. Just replace supersonic with glacier to get your device established. There wasn't one for the Eris, either, and the EVO instructions are what I used.
Also, if you're building for GB and you're on a 32-bit system, it will tell you you cannot build it. There is a bypass; I'm using a 32-bit system and just removed the "end" statement in the make file. My builds work just fine, so bypassing the environment won't mess up your builds...

[Original Thread]
I have seen several threads regarding this topic and thought I'd try to consolidate as much as I can in one place.
Credit for the original IMEI work goes to mthe0ry His original thread is here.
Because the NOOK Color is not a phone it does not have an IMEI number. This is why some apps that check for an IMEI number do not work on the NOOK.
Thanks to the work of mthe0ry and now DizzyDen it is possible to modify the framework.jar file in order to create a fake IMEI number on the NOOK Color. Doing so will allow programs such as Swype Beta, the free version of the XDA app, HBO GO, and the Xfinity app to work on the NOOK Color.
Unfortunately you need to have a framework.jar file that matches the ROM you are running as changes to the framework between ROMs can (and probably will) cause problems.
[See DizzyDen's thread for the IMEI generator tool]
*** This is mostly obsolete now that Dizzy's tool handles replacing the framework.jar file and backs up your original file - but I will leave it here just in case it is still useful to someone. ***
Installation:
You will need a file manager with Root access such as Root Explorer.
Download the framework.jar file for your Rom.
Unzip the file and transfer the framework.jar file to your NOOK Color.
Navigate to /System/framework using Root Explorer.
Mount the /System/framework folder R/W.
Rename the original framework.jar to framework.jar.bak.
Using Root Explorer, copy the new framwork.jar file.
Paste the modified framework.jar into /System/framework.
Long press the newly copied framework.jar and select "Permissions".
Change the permissions to match framework.jar.bak [rw-r--r--].
Mount the /System/framework folder R/O.
I recommend you reboot your NOOK although resetting the launcher may be enough.
For those that used my original files or the ones from mthe0ry, the original IMEI used in those files is "12-34567-89012-45". If you wish to continue using this IMEI number [NOT RECOMMENDED] you can manually enter it into Dizzy's tool.

I did a total wipe, stock 1.2 install, then a second total wipe before n82. I then added the modded framework and HBO GO worked really well! But, after adding Dal's 5/13 OC, I then got the spinning circle problem you describe.
I tried re-flashing just n83 to fix it (without Dal's OC), and re-installing the modded framework, but the spinning circle problem remains.
I can't say for sure that the OC kernel broke it -- it could be one of a dozen apps I installed? -- but it's certainly the leading culprit in my case. The 5/13 OC kernel also appeared to break a few of my other apps as well (360 Live failed too, but started working again after I returned to vanilla n83).
I'm going to start the entire process over again tonight to try and narrow down the problem...
I have the 5/13 OC installed but HBO GO is now working on my Nook. Just need to uninstall and reinstall HBO GO. Worked like a charm for me.

I do appreciate your warning (and, as always, all your hard work), but Dal came out and stated plainly that an IMEI solution would not get added to cm7 builds, so the rest of us took his word for it and had to solve the problem some other way.
Now, if you're saying that the solution WILL be built into one of the next few nightlies -- with unique IMEI's -- then that's fantastic!!
However, without it, there's currently no other way to run HBO GO, Swype, etc -- unless we compile our own framework.jar... which isn't an option for some of us noobs.
Has work already begun on a better solution?

This is great news!!!
I will cease and desist as soon as it it completed. Obviously the best thing would be for people to follow mthe0ry's instructions and do this themselves (it's really not that hard) using their own unique IMEI number. That said I'm happy to continue the "hack" method for those who don't wish to do it themselves.
Yes, having multiple devices with the same IMEI could become problematic but so far it's worked for the apps people want. I do appreciate the warning as I probably wasn't as clear about the "hack" nature of this in the OP as I should have been.

please disregard below. in reading the thread better I can see it's not for swype at all but for setting the nook up with an IMEI.
I don't mean to be rude, but why not just use slide-it? I'm cognisant of the simplicity of swype as I use it daily on my Galaxy S, but slide-it is nearly as good and works without fault on the nook (rooted stock and CM7) without any mods.

Concerns about unique devices make me wonder... I have a broken HTC Kaiser sitting on a shelf above my desk. It will never again be a functional device, but yet it has it's own unique IMEI.
Does the IMEI alone tell apps anything about what sort of device belongs to the number? If not, then it seems that I could use the IMEI from that Kaiser or the broken G1 I have.
It doesn't seem like these apps know anything about the device from the IMEI alone, given that people have been implementing this fix with no repercussions. That means apps probably don't check any hypothetical IMEI-device info against what's recorded in the build.prop, so this seems like a safe, workable solution for those of us with defective devices on our shelves.
Is there a way to make this work on a ManualNootered nook with 1.2, or does it only work if you have a custom rom.
Thanks
integrate in CM7
could you not ask the maintainers of CyanogenMod to integrate this in the future nightlies?
they would probably welcome the added functionality
Introduction
Welcome to the Unofficial CyanogenMod Nightlies for the Samsung Galaxy S II
The build is compiled from the latest cyanogen/github repos using the slightly tweaked device and c1-common files.
Notes
This build is Unofficial work, not related to teamhacksung or CyanogenMod nightlies. Please do not report bugs to teamhacksung or CyanogenMod for anything that is provided as part of this thread. I created this so that we all can updates to anything that CyanogenMod updates, bug fixes or enhancements. If at any time teamhacksung or CyanogenMod re-start their nightlies I may be requested by them to bring this thread down.
Use this at your own risk. I will not be accountable if this causes you phone to fail, or you lose your data. The backup of your data is your responsibility.
General Info
The releases will co-inside and the build start time is at 01:01 GMT, and by 02:00 GMT the builds should be uploaded. If at anytime the builds are not there, then there was a problem building the ROM, and I will have a look at it ASAP.
I use this as my daily driver, so I will know if it didn't compile; so please don't add another post to mention the fact it isn't compiled.

lately, every single nightly or nightly-based rom has had that issue which is buggering me to death. I would donate a juicy amount to someone who could fix this one.

Personally I've had my phone for 3 weeks, I have never seen this problem myself. The best way to diagnose this is getting logcats, dmesgs etc...
Or what exact actions are you taking for this to happen.

just open the market, install some apps then go into my apps and open one of your installed apps' page and scroll up and down, rather quickly for about 5-10 secs. then you get the freeze.

Well, ok, I tried that exact same thing, and I had no issues.
OK, while you are doing this on your phone, start a logcat, and get the output of that until it freezes. That is the best way to figure out what the issue is.
Then pastebin it, and report back with the logs
Arif!!!!, welcome, glad to see you here!.
Arif, have u got as skilled with zimages recoveries as when back on the hd2 days? We would really appreciatte some tips .

It's the first thing I did was to try compiling/flashing cwm for sgs2. But it seems a bit tricky. Sgs2 has a totally different way of doing things where the recovery, ramdisk and the kernel are all infused together.
I will keep trying anyway, as I would like to port over twrp, as I did for the hd2 community.
I've only had my device for 3 weeks. So give me time, and I will figure it out.

Right, now I know EXACTLY the problem you have. It doesn't only happen with the market.
Basically, if you wait long enough, the phone reboots and comes into a state where the battery icon comes up with yellow triangle exclamation Mark and thermometer. I thought this was my phone hehe.
Maybe worth looking at a different kernel
I will investigate, and see what I can find

Change Log:
1. Rom Was Created
Could anyone ADB Logcat for me? That would be awesome! Thanks a lot!! I plan on having this Rom done in at least 2 weeks. Thank you for helping!! My laptop wont ADB Logcat and I should be getting a new one since this one is already broke so when i get ADB on the new one ill Logcat for there and on out
Never mind, the Rom doesn't charge so when it's dead it'll shut itself off and what you have to do is when it boots hurry up and put it in recovery and restore your rom!
i would but i dont know how...if its simple enough...i will learn how to do it
Alright thank you!!
so i need the sdk right
is this right

You could've at least credit using my forum name.
Use the kernel from the new build 2012628 or don't use it at all. Previous build is no good. :silly:
It's fantastic, thanks man.
From the JoyOS porting guide by blindndumb:
Copy libsqlite.so and libsqlite_jni.so from JoyOS ROM to Base ROM , else you will get acore process ROM to Base ROM , else you will get acore process error and continuous FCs
Thank you!

Does copying just those two libs from JoyOS over to your current port (the one that boots) cause a bootloop?

There are a few threads here about unbricking. The recovery SD makes it pretty easy too(as long as it works) good luck.
Yeah, I'm having troubles unbricking i keep getting to the screen where it says please contact nook if this happens again I do have a recovery on the SD card but, when I put the recovery on my SD card it on gives me 50MB left
Thats because that is the size of the image.
You'll need to expand the size of the card using gparted in linux.
