Which is fine... But once in a while you will want to use
Code:
phablet-flash cdimage-touch
as not all parts of the OS will update via apt-get.
A perfect example is when they flipped the container...

Flash the image to your device with this command:
phablet-flash ubuntu-system -b

All your data will be erased!
After that go into the system settings and check for updates. You'll be able to update it via the settings now without a PC.

Bootsound for 2.2 and 2.3

THIS WON'T WORK ON SE SOFTWARE!
download THIS
push all files to your device
in wich map do you need to place the files?
don't worry they are in the right map in the donwload
when you pused them all set all permission to 777 (chmod 0777 /system/*file) or check all checkboxes in rootexplorer
when you've done that open up /system/build.prop
and add this line at the end
ro.config.play.bootsound=1
now reboot
if you are thinking "wtf is he talking about?" then DO NOT TRY THIS! this is for advance user only
Enjoy

Hi owain! love your work
I think i just found a typo in (enablebootsound) row 58,
shouldn't: (echo '' >> /system/build.pro) be: (echo '' >> /system/build.prop) ?

Hey
You will find all the information related to android development at
http://developer.android.com/guide/index.html
And if you want to pull all sources for android related devices then follow this link,
http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html
For this you will need to be using Linux OS/ Mac OS X OR use cygwin or emulator on windows.
I have given you the most generic instructions available and maintained by Google.
I am not sure which sources do you want to retrieve exactly.
ENJOY!!!

I suggest you to use the laptop with high configuration (cpu n RAM) because source compilation is heavy on cpu.
So you can clean hdd of old laptop if its good.
Or make use new laptop.
If you want to use new laptop you can either install linux-ubuntu by partitioning hdd to have dual boot : windows/any other + ubuntu
Or use softwares like VMware to emulate ubuntu in windows. (But this wont be efficient)

Hey,
I am sorry if you are offended, I was just unaware of your situation.
Well I have never faced a situation like locked bootloader on laptops.
Tell me what errors did you find while booting?
Which method did you use while installing? (CD or USB)
Have you been able to boot into Live CD or installation CD of UBUNTU?

Okay
From what I have understood, you were able to boot into installation cd and installed the linux system. And after installation when you try to reboot it stucks at bootscreen. Am I right?
Can you specify the details of partition table that you have used during installation? I just want to be clear on all aspects.

Right now, I can think of only two possibilities,
1) incomplete installation (I hope that you have tried installing ubuntu multiple number of times b4 posting, so this possibility should not exist)
2) compatibility issue with your laptop's display chip. Pls try to follow this thread at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1200519
Though thread discusses about problems during installation itself, but by using -X argument like they have suggested should clear one alternative.

Finally your ubuntu is up and ready. Congrats!!
Yeah, I will surely help you. But I doubt I will be much of your use. Because I have recently started playing with Android, so I am also still learning.
Anyway, till now I am able to setup cyanogenmod on my computer and have build CWM recovery for my phone (CSL Mi-410).
I have also pulled kernel sources for my device and could successfully compile them.
Tell me if you need any help. I will try to solve it.
Ok got the rwpositories setup, trouble with actually pulling the source, it just fails

Do you mean that you have initialized repository by using
repo init -u http://xxxxx.git
by setting up repository?
And does your internet connection requires proxy authentication?

Does your internet connection requires proxy id and port settings?
Because in that case you will have to provide that to curl command,
Code:
curl -x my-proxy:port https://android.git.kernel.org/repo
And if this proxy requires authentication (like in my case, as I work in my office ) then in that case
Code:
curl -U user:passwd -x my-proxy:port https://android.git.kernel.org/repo

I have just found out one more thing.
The server for android.git.kernel.org has been hacked and hence sut down for last few days.
Temporarily you can try other mirror site so as to get your job done.
You can follow these steps given at: http://synrgi.wordpress.com/2011/09/07/android-repository-remedy/
I hope it works this time.

[Q] Kernel Compilation Shell Script

Hey Guys.
I was wondering if anyone had a shell script for compiling a kernel that i could use?
Thanks

Check the cm build from source kernel guide. If you need a shell script to build it you probably shouldn't be building kernels...

Hi,

You will have to flash zip yet, but only if in your sudo apt-get upgrade, you see something with "platerform-api" or "hybris".
Ok thanks, in this case I have to use the daily update, true?

From the terminal inside Ubuntu touch is there a command that we can type to verify what number of build we have?

No because there is no daily update for plateform-api and hybris, just once by week. anyway, today or tomorrow will be Saucy builds by default, thus you will have to update your system with flash.
Ok great thing, thanks

Flash Saucy this morning. I replace my cm10.1 backup and then flash Saucy zip file. There is a method to see ubuntu phone by windows

[Q] Install packages on ubuntu touch

Hi,
I have just installed ubuntu touch on my Samsung galaxy s3 using the help of this link :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2315397
I am unable to post on that particular thread that's why i am creating a new thread here.
My question is : how to install any package on the ubuntu touch that I just installed??
Eg: say vim, or libcups....
I got the terminal.
When I try to install a package, sudo apt-get " " prompts for a password which I don't know.
Is there any other way to install packages? Do I have to create my own ubuntu build containing those packages and then install that on my phone??
Any help will be really great!
Thanks
Try "ubuntu" as the root password
...or "phablet"
