Hi there,
ist ist possible to run a python script on ubuntu phone.
i.e.: this one: bitbucket.org/benallard/galileo
its a synchronisation script for a fitbit tracker
regards,
Doc
Python 3 is installed on the phone and you have a terminal app:
Code:

To use apt-get, you'll need a writable system image. Now have a look at the documentation:
Enabling read-write mode
By default the system is read-only. You can switch to read-write mode, although this disables Ubuntu system upgrades. The main purpose for this is developing the Ubuntu system directly. This is not required for developing apps or using the system normally. Recovering from read-write mode is possible but requires reinstalling the system from scratch. Warning: Switching a device to read-write mode (and/or recovering from it) is an advanced feature and may result in complete data loss. Warning: Switching a device to read-write mode disables automatic over-the-air delta updates. Accepting a full over-the-air update after making a device writable may undo changes you have made.
$ phablet-config writable-image
The system reboots in read-write mode.

However, notice that OTA updates won't be blocked in the system settings. Instead, things will break after some time.

I have noticed that many people have had issues rooting their phone, especially recently. And i have also gotten tired of typing or copying the root method over and over after flashng in RSD and loosing root.
In response to that i have taken it upon myself to write a script for automating a majority of the process for all of us, making the process swifter than before. However this is not a one click root there are many steps nessecary to root our device. All i have done is wiritten a script to automate a majority of the process.
I will only test one version of the script, the ubuntu 12.10 version, because thats the only operating system i run and its easiest to test this one. i will leave the other versions to other people and to post issues with them as they arise so i may fix them
there are several versions of the script
*Ubuntu - 12.10 and up
*Ubuntu generic - 10.04-12.04
*Linux generic - any version of linux
*Windows bat file - Must download Motorola drivers
*Android - NEW ALPHA!! can actually be run from another rooted phone or tablet!! Scripts for general use coming soon! Testers are welcome! Check out the second post for details.
each version has the nessecary files to root your phone and including the script
These are not flash able scripts these must be uncompressed and run on a computer
Oh and feed back is more than welcome im not an expert at writing scripts or any sort of write up but i will do my best to fix any flaws or add suggestions.

Ah, wow. Thank you so much for this. I didn't root my Milestone X2 2.3.6 on ACS Wireless for 6 months because I was afraid of breaking it (again.) I wish this was around a few months ago
Hopefully this helps everyone root their phone in a much easier and safer way.
By the way.. Does anyone have any suggestions on a working MX2 2.3.6 ROM? I'm still using stock, and I hate it.
there aren't any roms based on 2.3.6, doubt we will see any soon

Try eclipse its not 2.3.6 based but it runs wonderfully on the mx2. As for the script its mostly an untested product. I've runt the Ubuntu 12.10 one once with little issue but the rest I haven't tried. Just remember its a two part script that requires the running of both pieces to work.
As to having a rom 2.3.6 based there really is no point we have fully functional roms that run beautiful with what we have not to mention that there's no real point in going back if we get a kexec or second boot working as further versions are going to be based off of a newer kernel and version of android.

I'm glad it was able to help. I tried to make certain things more autonomous but unfortunately it does have to be specific, and handled as such. So there's not a lot of flexability in how the process is done by the user and by the script itself.

I've tested some superuser managing apps and so far the only one that works for our device is chainsdd's app. Clockworkmod's and chainfires supersu do not work well or at all. Please use the chainsdds app from the market or keep the one that the script installs as they work best.

Alpha for the arm aka android script is up. Testers are welcome to play with it. This is a very very basic build. Nothing is automatic, will be worked on as I go. The download, requirements and minor change log of what's included can be found on the second post. that post is now change log and unstable versions. Read what's included on the the log before trying. If you want to try but don't have and otg cable flash the preinstall img using a computer and play around with the arm adb binaries. Credit for the arm versions of the adb and fastboot binaries go to the original developers, they will be listed as I find the correct threads and sites I pulled them from are found.

Sorry. I meant to get back to you earlier, I've been busy. No. I'm running Windows 7. Used the Windows Pack and ran through the instructions/README and got hung on that last step when the script wouldn't run.
I have a bootable CD of a few Linux OS's should I try one of those instead of through Windows? Is there a specific OS that the Linux script doesn't work on. I am a fan of LinuxMint and CentOS but I also have an Ubuntu CD as well.

Hum I wonder what broke the windows script. Um really its up to you I can try to tear it apart and see if what's wrong but I'd need specific information from you in what's happening. But I'm a better Linux script writer so the Linux scripts are a bit more stable. Ubuntu 12.04 and up is best because the repositories have adb and fastboot included and can be installed. Both of which the script requires to run but any of the linux ones should work.

I recently received my Motorola Milestone X2 running 2.3.6. I have followed your method to a T. After the adb shell cmd, I receive no Superuser prompt. Then, after typing in the /preinstall/su cmd, it says: file not found, or file does not exist. I cannot remember. Can you help?
Thanks,

I used the latest version root method on a new s4. Now after reboot the system updates do not stay updated on reboot, quick or standard. Also link2sd can not uninstall system apps like boat ware.
Any one have this issue or a fix for it? I believe it's a permission issue, but I am not sure which folder or file I need to correct.
I do have root access and can log in as su in terminal and use my rooted apps. I am running Supersu.

Just got off work, I do 12 hour days and didn't have time to timely respond to your question.
Could this be a permission issue in the app directory?

Can any one shed some light on what this error is or how to correct it? This may be my issue.
Hi guys,
I found a method to change System Status in Odin mode to 'Official/Samsung' that is very simple and only using the busybox application "devmem". Use this command in adb shell or terminal emulator. Just type it in, hit enter, and reboot. Bam.
Code:
devmem 0xF91CF8C 32 0xFF000000
This will change your status to Official and remove the padlock with 'Custom' on it. If you want 'Custom', replace FF with EE.
Immediately upon reboot, Odin mode and the device recognize the device as official.
The explanation is that this is from a small region of memory that stores what's known as DDI data. I don't know what that means yet, but some other information like the CC Mode flag and device name/product number are stored here. I'm still doing further research on what else resides here.
Enjoy.
Seem that "DDI" can be either:
A "MAC-e header parameter" as specified HERE.
Data Description Indicator (DDI):
The DDI field identifies the logical channel, MAC-d flow and size of the MAC-d
PDUs concatenated into the 3GPP associated MAC-es PDU. The mapping between the
DDI values and the logical channel ID, MAC-d flow and PDU size is provided by
higher layers. The length of the DDI field is 6 bits. When, due to the
quantization in the transport block sizes that can be supported, the size of the
data plus header is less than the TB size originally selected by the E-TFC
selection entity minus 6 bits, the DDI value [111111] shall be appended at the
end of the MAC-e header to indicate that there are no more MAC-es PDUs
concatenated into this MAC-e PDU. In any other case it will be understood that
another MAC-es PDU would not fit and it will therefore not be necessary to
reserve room in the transport block for this additional DDI field.

I havent got it to work either. Though im guessing its only good til a reboot before it gets rewritten?
I thought I read in passing that syscope was the app that checked to see if the system was modified or not. I think it said if you get your phone to say official and freeze/uninstall syscope you won't have the padlock show up anymore.

Busybox is an app. It creates s series of links to commands that are typically available on a Linix (unix) system. Android kernel is linix based.
devmem is a command available in an adb shell or in terminal mode.
No idea if the hack still works or not.
If it does still work I am sure it would require root.

You just need devmem and the address. Not busybox devmem and the address.
The only thing I can suggest is that you use ODIN to flash back to whatever the latest stock ROM you were on and go through the rooting process all over again.
The bootloader won't allow you to boot with a non stock recovery unless you unlock the bootloader.

Hi! I have been using touch for some weeks on my nexus 4 now and it is working all-right for me. Unfortunately i cannot update install / remove apps any more. When i try to update the apps via the system settings nothing happens. When i try to download an apps via app store it says cannot download. Removing "seems" to work but when done - the app is still there - even after reboot. Can anyone help me? Would be great!
Ah another thing - adb shell was working fine but stopped working as well - i get "device not found" now...
I think the File-System might be read only?
You need to re-add your Ubuntu One account and installing apps will work again.
To use adb you need to enable the developer mode in System Settings > About phone > Developer Mode.

That worked, thank you. Why doesn't sudo apt-get update work?
@Xinthose Due to the way system updates are done, "apt-get" doesn't work for now. Since they, however, plan to use the same update method for the desktop in the future, they will at some point have to add apt-get support. They already talked about how that would be done on the ubuntu-phone mailing list some time ago.

Just forgot something: You can actually make apt-get work (and everyone working on the core system components actually has to do that to test their changes) but that breaks system updates.
To do so you need to make the image writable (look for the how-to on the Ubuntu for phones installation page). You can flash back to a non-writable image later but that always comes with the risk of data loss. So it's definitely not recommended for anyone who is not a developer!

OK, thank you. To make the phone work exactly like Ubuntu would be nice. What is the password for sudo / su ?
@Xinthose Just enter your device passcode/passwort.

Did you upgrade using the system settings update mechanism? That won't be blocked and the update will seem to work, but things will break after some time, just like your dual boot, especially when you start installing custom packages.
Theoretically, the application should work, but you're going to have to set up XMir properly to run X applications. If you are interested in doing that, the guy who made this video is the one who can tell you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3PUYoa1c9M
This video may be helpful, too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfMLzlki9XE
AND you'll have to install the devel-proposed channel as stable/rtm doesn't contain the necessary software yet.
I got root write - updated and upgraded and it killed my nexus 5 install basicaly wrote over the boot sector I think !
Can I not get a chroot for ubuntu apps I have on ubuntu and would they run? For example lithograph?
Ill take a look I've installed the sdk to test as well I'm certain these apps will get added soon scopes are great but being able to install ubuntu apps like lifeograph and other apps would be amazing.. Is this on the cards or do the developers have to release the touch apps version ?

I got root write - updated and upgraded and it killed my nexus 5 install basicaly wrote over the boot sector I think !
Can I not get a chroot for ubuntu apps I have on ubuntu and would they run? For example lithograph?
Ill take a look I've installed the sdk to test as well I'm certain these apps will get added soon scopes are great but being able to install ubuntu apps like lifeograph and other apps would be amazing.. Is this on the cards or do the developers have to release the touch apps version ?

I'm sorry for you killing your boot sector. Were you able to set up everything again?
I tried the chroot method some time ago but you still need to install the necessary packages for that using apt-get. So you need a writable system again...
You could, however, try to package the apps as a click package yourself. I've never tried that and I don't know of anyone who did, but if you ship xmir and the application in a click package, it should work.
I just had to reinstall and re-root was good really because got it set up right now.
I'm did a emulated rw and compiled lifeograph from source that it might work but it wont connect to mir using cmake there must be a use flag or ill look are cross compiling maybe.. Does it create a click package or a deb ? Ill take a poke around in apt cache to look at packages already cached from install

Great that you got it sorted out.
There's a trick to get the app working on Mir: Lifeograph is an app for the X window system. To make it run with Mir, there's a software called Xmir. Check out whether it's in the repos. If not, the source code should be online somewhere.
The app is probably going to compile as a debian package though. Either you stay with your phone in rw mode or you look into packaging it as a click package. The latter might be a little bit more difficult.
