Hi!
I figure it out how to install windows 11 on my UNSUPPORTED PC and it seems that everything is fine!
I dont have TPM or supported CPU.
This method uses the script "Skip TPM Check on Dynamic Update v7, AveYo 2021" and the original (CLEAN) windows 11 software that was downloaded to a pendrive by MediaCreationToolW11.exe tool from Microsoft.
Download this ZIP and extract to Desktop.
Execute "Bypass_TPM_Install_Windows11.bat" and just read and follow the steps!!!
I hope it works for you as it worked for me, please replay if worked for you to!!! I want to know!
Don´t forgot to PRESS LIKE or COMMENT!
Thank you in advanced.
Update 13-02-2022:
* Add some tweaks for better CPU.
*Unistall the script "Skip TPM Check on Dynamic Update v7, AveYo 2021" IF installation fail.
Update 26-02-2022
This are tweaks inside bat for better cpu usage:
Spoiler: Code
Code:
rem PacketCoalescingFilter enabled for pure throughput when lower CPU utilization is important.
powershell.exe Set-NetOffloadGlobalSetting -PacketCoalescingFilter enabled >nul
rem Receive Segment Coalescing (RSC Enable for slightly higher throughput when lower CPU utilization is important.

rem Set an RSS profile for a NUMA server without dynamic load balancing, Base Processor Number 1, Max Processor Number 2,Max Processors 2
powershell.exe (Set-NetAdapterRss -Name * -Profile NUMAStatic -BaseProcessorNumber 2 -MaxProcessorNumber 2 -MaxProcessors 2) >nul
rem Because the removal of node splitting can potentially impact existing applications, a registry value is available to allow
rem opting back into the legacy node splitting behavior. Node splitting can be re-enabled by creating a REG_DWORD value
rem named "SplitLargeNodes" with value 1 underneath.
powershell.exe New-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\NUMA' -Name 'SplitLargeNodes' -PropertyType dword -Value 1 -force >nul
NOTE: If you already are in W11 and installed before i post the exe file, Copy the code, open cmd as administrator and paste the code in to cmd, execute it to applay the cpu tweaks.

very bad idea. Windows 11 upgrade won't be supported even if you get windows 11 installed. better stay with windows 10.

Until now everything is going as normal, updating and everything.
Windows 10 will end suport to shortly.
I wouldn't do that, sooner or later you will stop receiving updates through the official Microsoft channel

We will be soon with out support on windows 10, meanwhile it seems (but not for sure) that Microsoft will end support to to unsupported PCs.
So, 0+0=0!
Is better to stay on W11! Until any further changes, it is working amazing!
What I read is W11 will get a anointing advise on settings and say that they aren't responsible for any troubles that pc may get.
All this is Market to force people to buy new technologies. Market add slow down, and new technologies are to expensive.
They are adopting Smartphones Update method!
Microsoft is getting some according with suppliers like Intel, etc, and at some point they will force you to buy a new machine to stay updated! Like Google with Android!
Do you get it?
C'est vrai t'as raison mec...
New Update and had gone fine as usual!

Why wouldn't he? That's exactly the point of this forum and I love it! I haven't even looked for a TPM workaround (my CPU supports it) and I've encountered one anyway. Awesome! Excellent work. Looking forward to the progress here. Even if updates would get disabled (unlikely, as that would compromise security even further) it doesn't mean there won't be another workaround.

My smartphones come with an alternative firmware from day one, even if the warranty from most manufacturers should no longer apply if such a case should occur

Exactly!
Is what I had done, just applied an alternative software, but in my case is an update from the older one.
Is working and much faster than older one. Everything still working fine. Let's wait for what the future brings.
FYI rufus can bypass tpm and secure boot checks as well

For does who had download before and installed dont need to install again! Just download this zip, extract Bypass_TPM_&_Install_Windows11.exe from zip and paste inside the folder that you already had downloaded before and keep it safe to use it later when you need it.
There is a possibility of the exe give some false positive so i let here Microsoft vírus scan report.

Thank you, @Frax3r - I've just tried this on a 2016 laptop that doesn't have any TPM options, and it couldn't be easier to do. It upgraded from Win 10 without any complaints, keeping all user files and settings. First run of Windows Update found several Win 11 updates including the 2022-03 Cumulative Update and installed them successfully. All seems well so far.
For those who don't like the Win 11 taskbar limitations, have a look at StartAllBack. I've been using it for some time now on my everyday laptop with Win 11, and it works well. To me, the most important change is simply being able to have the taskbar vertical on the left instead of being forced to have it horizontal at the bottom of the screen, but it does a lot more than that. If you go to the website you'll see a full list of enhancements.
i use it on my potato
H110 M-R asus
i5 7400
gtx1050 ti
2 tb ssd
16 gb DDR4
and everything works fine i skip this stupid TPM even i have it on motherboard also this secure boot.
also previous i use this 22H2 RTM but i go back to latest stable 21H2
Glad I found this thread; it might save some old computers I've had lying around. Windows 11 might run a bit slow on them, but with this patch and an SSD upgrade, they might work just fine!
Just a heads up to the OP: Windows 22H2 is officially out. See if your little hacking trick still works, and if not, see what changed.
Method #1: Edit Registry to bypass requirement check
Method #2: Create bootable USB with no requirement check
Method #3: Edit Windows 10 bootable USB drive
Hope You Find This Useful,
Peter

Hi all,
First, sorry for my english since english is not my mother language.
I've brought Archos 70 IT 250GB last week, and start to study all about it from the internet to make it faster faster and faster...
Gathering all information from XDA, ArchosFans, Mobile01, HKEPC...etc.
Almost all archos owner is flash 8GB version, and they totally wrote the guide for flash version, HDD version are roughly mentioned....
But its okay for that, because ROOT, SDE, Flash AOS...all is same in both hardware version, but one thing only is different, the SWAP part!
8GB flash version have internal 8GB memory and able to insert SD card, so they can play a lot about SWAP, EXT4, Class 6, 8, 10...bra bra bra
How about HDD version....my little poor A70H !?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I think is enough for my speak...main part coming..
From my own test, SWAP is works and faster than put the file onto the HDD.
--Step1--
Download the SWAP file from below, thanks marclh1992
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=872697
--Step2--
Unzip the file to the desktop, and choose the suitable swapXXX for your Archos 70 IT, I use swap256 for demo.

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
--Step3--
put the SWAP file into the root of your Archos
--Step4--
Download 'GScript Lite' from Market, and install RootExplorer from !?
--Step5--
Open RootExplorer, and point to your HDD as '/mnt/storage'
--Step6--
Long click on the SWAP file and choose 'copy'
--Step7--
point to the internal memory as '/data' and paste it
**this folder is your whole internal memory (have 1.6G spaces) that you store apps data here, don't touch anything unless you know what it is!!
--Step8--
jobs done with RootExplorer, now open GScript Lite
--Step9--
Type below code to Enable SWAP:
Code:
cd /data
swapon swap256
free
or
type this for Disable SWAP:
Code:
cd /data
swapoff swap256
free
then press save, then click on it, RUN!
*Or you can download my gscript to run it
--Step10--
Work done! Now you can see you have a lot of swap ram.
This trick will not affect you HDD at all time, you no need to Disable the SWAP to mount your HDD to your PC anymore!!
--extra Step--
Add auto-run script

SWAP 2596
Tested, work like a charme.
did you try with swap bigger than 256?

yes, I've downloaded all 3 swap files and tried by myself.
but I've choose 256 since Android System seems will not use SWAP until it feels free RAM is close to zero...

If I understand correctly, thats fairly normal for Linux.
However, I have put the 512 file onto mine for the swap (I don't use many apps on the Archos, I use an Android phone so use apps on there mostly, so the internal memory is free to use here instead) and it does seem to fly.
Thanks for the guide!!

you can change swappiness behavior by increasing or decreasing the value (60 in the example below) to more or less:
in terminal (or in a startscript to make it permanent)
# sysctl -w vm.swappiness=60
sets it to 60
to see what you have currently set, do command
# cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness
higher values: the kernel swaps out memory pages earlier
best to test the optimal value by loading a lot of memory sucker programms like flash .... and see how the swap is used
more for example here: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-kernel-tuning-virtual-memory-subsystem/
Thank you for this guide!
Seems like i have to enable the swap file each time i reboot, is that correct?

yup, need re-swap every time when you boot up the device

I've set swappiness to 60 and use autokiller memory optimizer to set Optimum(40 50 60), usually the devices will use up to 60MB into swap, if I playing music and web surfing, the devices will use up to 90MB into swap.
Has anyone found a way to keep it permanent or load it at startup?
I can't get it to work with init.d, looks like init.d isn't working on oc kernal.
autostart doesn't seem to work either...
I will be verry thankfull if anyone would be able to provide a solution!
EDIT : After a lot of trial and error >
SOLVED!: (CAUTION I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF ANYTHING STOPS WORKING, ON YOUR OWN RISK)
Create a file in /data/opt/autostart.sh
Edit "autostart.sh" and add swapon /data/swap256 (asuming you placed a 256mb swap file in the /data directory)
Goto /etc/init
Edit init.A70H.rc for Hardisk based A70 (for 8gb use init.A70S.rc)
Scroll down (botom) to "service omx_pm /system/bin/OMXPolicyManager"
Type directly below this line:
"service enable_swap /system/bin/sh /data/opt/autostart.sh
Done, reboot en use terminal/gscript command "free" to check if swap file is enabled, now swapfile is permanent and enabled each time you boot!

Yes that should work fine. You can also add other optimizations like setting the swapiness and such in the "autostart.sh" (or whatever you like to call it) file.
I'm currently testing out some optimizations from the galaxy tab, will report back soon.
I also saw a setting usb_charging = no in the "init.A70H.rc" file, i wonder if anyone tried changing it to yes?
I'm a little bit scared to change it since i'm not sure it might do damage..

Yes, you can add multiple lines in the SH file.
"Enable_swap" was just a name i gave to the service, might as well be "optimize_performance" or whatever name you like so you easily recognize it.
The following settings from the galaxy tab i'm testing, came from a topic in the galaxy tab section. I came across it while searching for solutions.
Code:
# Lower the amount of unwritten write cache to reduce lags when a huge write is required.
# DEF 20
echo_ "10" "/proc/sys/vm" "/dirty_ratio"
# Increase minimum free memory, in theory this should make the kernel less likely to suddenly run out of memory.
# DEF 3102
echo_ "4096" "/proc/sys/vm" "/min_free_kbytes"
# Increase tendency of kernel to keep block-cache to help with slower RFS filesystem.
# DEF 100
echo_ "1000" "/proc/sys/vm" "/vfs_cache_pressure"
# Increase the write flush timeouts to save some battery life.
# DEF 250
echo_ "2000" "/proc/sys/vm" "/dirty_writeback_centisecs"
# DEF 200
echo_ "1000" "/proc/sys/vm" "/dirty_expire_centisecs"
# Make the task scheduler more 'fair' when multiple tasks are running,
# which improves user-interface and application responsiveness.
# DEF 10000000
echo_ "20000000" "/proc/sys/kernel" "/sched_latency_ns"
# DEF 2000000

# DEF 1000000
echo_ "1000000" "/proc/sys/kernel" "/sched_min_granularity_ns"
The defaults are from the galaxy tab, not the archos.
Format should be in the sh or gscript : echo 1000000 > /proc/sys/kernel/shed_min_granularity_ns
To check current setting: cat /proc/sys/kernel/shed_min_granularity_ns

the auto script is work!! Thanks!
I've putted an "enableswap.sh" into /data, then edit the A70H.rc to add "service enable_swap /system/bin/sh /data/swap256"

Welcome to the most customizable N7 kernel on xda
Bricked-Kernel Nexus 7 (grouper)
Replaced NVIDIA's strange hotplug manager with my own: tegra_mpdecision
Features:
Based upon Googles tegra3 source
Fixed section mismatches
Various other fixes (look @ github)
Compiled with gcc4.7.2 toolchain (linaro 09.12)
Replaced NVIDIAs hotplug manager with tegra_mpdecision (better battery life + performance)
Extensive sysfs interface for mpdecision with all the tuneables you want
Highly modified ondemand governor for tegra3 & mpdecision (this is the only recommended governor atm)
Fixed usage of 51Mhz clock
GPU OC (416/484/520Mhz)
Truly variant free CPU OC for all devices (51 - 1600Mhz)
Fixed max cpufreq resets throughout the kernel
All cores now use the max frequency (before: only in singlecore, otherwise -100Mhz)
Undervolting (faux123)
Default clocks: 102min & 1300max (+100Mhz overclocked) & 475 Maxscroff
earlysuspend/lateresume for ondemand including special screen off settings to save power
Aroma Installer by amarullz
cmdline interface for cpu min/max/maxscroff/gpuoc/scheduler/governor
---Just flash the kernel with your desired settings, no more need for oc apps. Reflash if you want to change sth. It's that easy!
FSync Control by Ezekeel
export t3 variant to debugfs by faux123 (adb shell cat /sys/kernel/debug/t3_variant)
lowered panel min brightness to 8
ZRAM
enabled NFSv3&4

What is tegra_mpdecision?
100% kernel based multi core decision! (should cpu1/2/3 be online or not, do we need the low-power/ninja core now?)
This replaces the stock nvidia hotplug solution.
Check /sys/kernel/tegra_mpdecision/conf/ for the configuration.
startdelay = time until mpdecision starts doing it's magic (20000)
delay = time between checks (130)
pause = if something else plugs in the cpu, fall asleep for 10000ms (10 secs)
scroff_single_core = Force low-power mode if screen is off (1)
enabled = enable(1) or disable(0) mpdecision. This does not affect scroff_single_core!
min_cpus = min cpus to be online, cannot be < 1. Default: 1
max_cpus = max cpus to be online, cannot be > 4. (if you set it to 2 and min_cpus to 1 you will basically have a dualcore) Default: 4
idle_freq = a value against that will be checked if a core +/- is requested. (475000)
lpcpu_up_hsyteresis = minimum number of requests that have to be send in order to switch to low-power mode (4)
lpcpu_down_hsyteresis = minimum number of requests that have to be send in order to switch to g-mode (quadcore-mode). Overridden by a requested freq that is higher than the max supported lp-mode frequency. (2)
If cpu0 is below that value and a core up of another cpu is requested, nothing will happen.
If any other cpu is above that value and a core down of that cpu is requested, nothing will happen. (otherwise it would now put down that cpu even though it is still working, which isn't what we want)
Hot plug thresholds (aka now it gets 'complicated')
This small formula calculates which value will be used: (number_of_cpus_online - 1) * 2
The result of this formula will be the nwns_threshold where a new cpu is hotplugged.
The result of this formula + 1 will be the nwns_threshold where a cpu is unplugged.
nwns_threshold_x = runqueue threshold, if this is reached cpuX will be hot/unplugged
twts_threshold_x = time threshold, this amount of time must have passed for the related action to be taken (hot/unplug)
Example:
One cpu is online.
(1 - 1) * 2 = 0 ergo:
nwns_threshold_0 = cpu1 will be hotplugged at this value
((1 - 1) * 2) + 1 = 1
nwns_threshold_1 = cpu0 will be unplugged at this value
This will regulate when we switch to lp-mode, effectively replacing the quadcore g-mode core with the ninja lp-mode core.
Two cpus are online.
(2 - 1) * 2 = 2 ergo:
nwns_threshold_2 = cpu2 will be hotplugged at this value
((2 - 1) * 2) + 1 = 3
nwns_threshold_3 = cpu1 will be unplugged at this value
etc...
(all times are in ms)
If you want to see the mpdecision magic happening:
Code:
adb shell
cat /proc/kmsg | grep 'MPDEC'
mpdecision's input event boost, aka project butter
This will boost your min cpu speed if you touch the screen or press a button and gives you full control.
In those events the min cpu freq will be risen to a predefined value (look below) on every online cpu. This boosts overall reaction times and smoothness a lot. (works similar to the qcom mpdecision binary)
Configuration files:
[email protected]:/sys/kernel/tegra_mpdecision/conf # ls
boost_enabled
boost_freqs
boost_time
All of them work like the usual sysfs files, except one special case:
boost_freqs will list all frequencies from cpu 0 to cpu x. Cpu 3 and any following cpu will share one frequency.
To change those frequencies echo the cpu number + the frequency in khz. To change the boost freq of cpu3 (and 4,5,6,7,8, etc) the echo would look as follows:
Code:
echo "3 1026000" > /sys/kernel/tegra_mpdecision/conf/boost_freqs
for cpu0:
Code:
echo "0 1026000" > /sys/kernel/tegra_mpdecision/conf/boost_freqs
Defaults:
Code:
cat /sys/kernel/tegra_mpdecision/conf/boost_freqs
910000
910000
760000
620000
Recommended governor?
Ondemand.Why do I have no WLAN?
This kernel is too big for our boot.img with WLAN included into the kernel, so it is built as a module. That means it needs to be inserted into the kernel upon boot up, which needs to be automated for maximum comfort = userinit (init.d) support.
The zip adds init.d support to your ramdisk, if that fails for some reason the wlan module cannot be inserted.
if
Code:
adb shell lsmod
doesn't show this:
Code:
tun 14060 0 - Live 0x00000000
cifs 239646 0 - Live 0x00000000
bcmdhd 433083 0 - Live 0x00000000
Then init.d support is probably missing.
You can test it by going to /system/etc/init.d/ and executing 00wlan.
Code:
adb shell
su
. /system/etc/init.d/00wlan
Wait a few seconds and try to enable wifi and repeat the above lsmod command (should now show bcmdhd as live, you can execute 01cifs and 02tun too).
If WLAN now works, init.d support is missing.
You need to have busybox installed in order to be able to get init.d support going, this shouldn't be a problem for most people, since it is usually installed when rooting your phone anyway (and who does unlock but not root their phone? :/)
It does not matter if busybox is installed in /system/bin or /system/xbin, my script will detect the location upon flashing and patch the ramdisk accordingly.
If no busybox is found, the script will add init.d support to your ramdisk with the default location: /system/xbin/busybox. All you need to do is install busybox there and reboot your phone.

What tweaks did you make to on-demand, if you don't mind me asking? The only thing I've noticed is that frequency switching seems to happen faster & more often.
Feel like flashing something tonight!

I mostly adapted it to work with the lpcore while the screen is on and also with special power saving setting while the screen is off.
The 2 phase frequency was changed to accomplish that.
It also applies a powersave bias while screen is off.
Additionally I changed the settings to allow faster scaling with less load. (70% > freq incr)
Source is currently being uploaded, but since I kept the history intact it is taking ages. You can look it up there in more detail once the source is up

What is msm_thermal?
Kernel based 3-phase thermal control!
This replaces your /system/bin/thermald binary which is renamed by the installer to thermald_bck.
It will throttle your cpu speed to keep it cool and unleash it if the cpu has cooled down enough. (3 phases: low, mid and high)
Check /sys/kernel/msm_thermal/conf/ for the thermal configuration
allowed_max_high = highest threshold (phase 3)
allowed_max_low = remove the throttling if we cooled down to this (clr_thrshold)
allowed_max_freq = max frequency if throttled (limit)
[...]mid[...] = same as above, just for phase 2
[...]low[...] = Lowest threshold (phase 1)
check_interval_ms = how often shall we check? (sampling rate)
Default: 100ms (=0.1sec)
shutdown_temp = if we reach this shut down the device!
Default: 80°C
If you want to see msm_thermal doing it's job:
Code:
adb shell
cat /proc/kmsg | grep 'thermal'
What is msm_mpdecision?
100% kernel based multi core decision! (should cpu1/2/3 be online or not?)
This replaces your /system/bin/mpdecision binary which is renamed by the installer to mpdecision_bck.

enabled = enable(1) or disable(0) mpdecision. This does not affect scroff_single_core!
min_cpus = min cpus to be online, cannot be < 1. Default: 1

etc...
The default values are:

How does sweep2wake work? Does it keep my phone awake?
Short answer: No.
Long answer:
Sweep2wake works with IRQs (Interrupts).
An interrupt can be best imagined as you doing something, like shopping at the local super market, when someone jumps in front of you and punches you into your family jewels. You will most certainly not just continue shopping.
In technical terms: An Interrupt interrupts the normal operation of a program and executes "special" code instead.
So if you touch your screen, an interrupt is send on which the touch driver reacts. That's it.
Since we have a capacitive touchscreen you also do not need to worry about any pressure onto the screen.
If you want to disable sweep2wake execute this command on your phone (adb shell or directly), you can also add it to an init.d script.
Code:
echo "0" > /sys/android_touch/sweep2wake
(echoing "1" activates it, which is the default setting)Recommended governor?
Ondemand.Why do I have no WLAN?
Due to this kernels very high optimization settings it is too big for our boot.img with WLAN included into the kernel, so it is built as a module. That means it needs to be inserted into the kernel upon boot up, which needs to be automated for maximum comfort.
The zip adds this to your ramdisk, if that fails for some reason the wlan module cannot be inserted.

cifs 275399 0 - Live 0x00000000
wlan 2964650 0 - Live 0x00000000 (C)
Then something went wrong. (My fault)
You can test it by executing
Code:
adb shell
su
insmod /system/lib/modules/wlan.ko
Wait a few seconds and try to enable wifi and repeat the above lsmod command (should now show wlan).
If WLAN now works, I messed up.
Open a new issue in the issue tracker and it will be fixed asap.

Whoever disables fsync is a maniac. It is not in this kernel and will never get in. That's my totally honest opinion.
Using a no fsync, or 'dynamic' fsync kernel is the equivalent of jumping from a skyscraper with nothing but a napkin.

Turning on WiFi caused boot loops for me lol
I figured it wasn't supposed to work so I didn't report it so I flashed slimkat
EDIT: I bring you the new OFFICIAL way of installing X11 applications, I've been neglecting this thread way too much and need to give it some love.
The old instructions (OLD METHOD) are no longer needed as of April on the rc and rc-proposed channels, this should work on all channels however (tested up to latest devel-proposed image)
NOTE: You still need a writable image for the first parts of this, after you install the tools, it can go back to read-only.
1) Open Terminal
2) Install the following packages: libertine libertine-tools python3-libertine-chroot
3) Open the Ubuntu Store and install the scope: libertine-scope
4) Open the Libertine application that's now available in your launcher and follow instructions, it will set up a Ubuntu Vivid chroot in your home directory, install the components needed, and drop you at the package management screen. From here, you can update and add PPAs to the container via the Settings Icon -> Manage Container, Install packages via the plus icon, etc.
5) Favorite the Libertine XApps scope by swiping up on the home screen and hitting the star, then open the scope and you'll see any applications you installed there.
If you cannot install your container via the Libertine application (I know that it didn't have support for chroot until recently, not sure if that version has landed yet), you can install your container via the teminal, so open your terminal but DO NOT sudo su. All Libertine-container-manager commands MUST be done as phablet.
To create a container (this line will likely change when Xenial drops as Libertine will be switching to LXC on Xenial):
Code:
libertine-container-manager --create -i <container id> -n <friendly name (this shows up in the Libertine app)> -t chroot
Using this command, the system will build the new libertine container, wait until it's finished and then you can continue by using the installed Libertine application.
Onscreen Keyboard in Libertine Applications
THIS CAN FINALLY BE DONE! The only con to it, is that it is mostly unusable in applications that open dialog boxes along the bottom of the screen, the XMir window does not scroll up like native applications do to give a better viewing window. (I have been told that this will change in OTA-12 when the keyboard support drops for Libertine/Puritine apps)
To install on-screen keyboard:
Open Libertine and add ppa:brandontschaefer/maliit to your container. Then hit update in Manage Containers. Once done, install the following, maliit-inputcontext-gtk2, maliit-inputcontext-gtk3, maliit-framework. After that, setup is complete in your container, now we need to do some extra work outside the container to make it pass the GTK_IM_MODULE variable we need over to Libertine. To do this, add this line to your .bashrc or if you have a writable image, you can add this to the systemwide profile (not sure if this will be replaced on OTA though):
Code:
export GTK_IM_MODULE=maliitphablet
Restart the tablet OS, Open an application such as Libreoffice Writer and BEHOLD!
Notes
You can also manage your container via the terminal with libertine-container-manager. To get a root shell without installing mate terminal (You can't get a root shell via this method (installing a term), Proot acts like fakeroot all over your container's rootfs), you can use the following:
- l-c-m exec -c bash (This command does not mount any user directories (/home/phablet will not exist) and is best used for making changes to the container's rootfs)
or if you only need a user shell:
- DISPLAY= libertine-launch <containerid (default is vivid)> bash (This mounts user directories, but is no different than if you installed something like mate-terminal and ran it. The reason we are passing an empty DISPLAY variable is because libertine-launch will refuse to start if DISPLAY isn't set, even it if doesn't exist.)
- DPI Hacks: To change the DPI of applications in Libertine, you need a new way to make the .Xdefaults file as only the XDG User directories get mounted inside the libertine container, not your entire Home. To do this, install your favorite editor inside of the libertine container (I find nano to be the easiest for new users), and open Terminal, then follow these instructions:
1) Open your editor to ~/.local/share/libertine-container/user-data/[my container id, default = vivid]/.Xdefaults and fill it with the following:
Code:
Xft.dpi: 175
or what your preferred DPI is. On the Nexus 7 flo the comfortable DPI is 175 with an application font size of 14 (I use Liberation Sans which comes from Libreoffice).
- You can make your applications look great still, you don't have to be stuck with the default Raleigh GTK style. Download and install LXAppearance in your container and add ppa:noobslab/themes then start installing themes. Enjoy! The Ubuntu Touch Themes are wonderful and FlatPlat works well with the system UI as well.
Some cons to this:
- It requires at least 3GBs available in your internal storage (wherever your home folder resides) to store a full, non-touch Ubuntu Vivid container.
Pros:
- It survives OTAs, the only thing able to break this would be a change to XMir, PRoot, or Libertine. Which is landing in the images shortly by default so there's not much of a chance to break this.
- Nothing you do will break your UTouch system. Unlike the old method, this only installs the items needed to run the container, which are to become standard inside the images very soon.
OLD METHOD
--------------------
EDIT: I have not tested this in stable, rc, rc-proposed yet. Only the dev-proposed channel.
So there is some questioning I see going on about how to run things like Firefox efficiently and well. So I figured I'd write up a little something for it.
First you'll want to set your DPI in ~/.Xdefaults, as I have a Nexus 7, mine looks similar to this:
Xft.dpi: 240
Note that you may need to do some additional tweaking.
Now that you have Xdefaults made, install the ubuntu-pocket-desktop and matchbox-window-manager packages (along with the program you wish to use, for this tutorial, I'll use libreoffice).
Create a file in /bin called wm-wrapper.sh (or whatever you choose here, just remember the name), fill it with:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
matchbox-window-manager -use_titlebar no -use_dialog_mode const-horiz &
exec [email protected]
and save it, then chmod a+x it.
EDIT: For this next part, I recommend copying the .desktop to ~/.local/share/applications to avoid them being overwritten on package updates.
Now, navigate to /usr/share/applications/ and open the .desktop file for the application you are wanting to run. Add the following lines under [Desktop]:
Code:
X-Ubuntu-Touch=true
X-Ubuntu-XMir-Enable=true
Change the Exec line so that your wrapper (in my case wm-wrapper.sh) is in front of the executable, such that the line becomes (or similar):
Code:
Exec=/bin/wm-wrapper.sh libreoffice %U
Save it, then search for your application in the Unity Scopes. Open it up and you should see your application running as an XMir app easy. For future applications, you will simply need to do the changes to it's .desktop file.
EDIT: A helpful redditor gave me this tip to enable sending touch events over to Xmir. Setting the GTK_TEST_TOUCHSCREEN environment variable to 1 will apparently remove hover events and the like (events that are not normally sent with a touch screen, but with a mouse). I have not had time to take a look at this yet however so YMMV.
Thanks man, gonna try this on my n4 later today. ?

No problem, Like I said, not sure if it works on other channels, but it works great on the dev-proposed channel. You will also want to close applications using their menu items as closing the Xmir root window will cause the application to terminate without asking to save anything. Libreoffice can get around this via Document Recovery though.
I had been working on this for a good solid week testing applications and different ways to get X11 applications working so I could make it a full workstation, so I figured why not post my findings since the Ubuntu forum doesn't seem to get much love.
Thanks for the matchbox tip! It works quite nicely, especially, it brings a nice onscreen keyboard with it. I use the following setup now:
~/.local/share/applications/gedit-mb.desktop
Code:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=GEdit in Matchbox
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Icon=/usr/share/gedit/logo/gedit-logo.png
X-Ubuntu-Touch=true
#X-Ubuntu-XMir-Enable=true
Exec=/home/phablet/bin/matchbox-wrapper.sh gedit
~/bin/matchbox-wrapper.sh
Code:
#!/bin/bash
export DISPLAY=:1
Xmir $DISPLAY &
sleep 1
# xlogo
# xeyes
# x11vnc -forever -nopw -quiet -display $DISPLAY &
matchbox-window-manager &
sleep 1
matchbox-keyboard &
[email protected]
~/.matchbox/kbdconfig
Code:
# http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/223110/what-are-the-keyboard-shortcuts-for-matchbox-window-manager
<ctrl><alt>p=prev
<ctrl><alt>n=next
<ctrl><alt>d=!matchbox-desktop
<ctrl><alt>x=!xterm
<ctrl><alt>f=!firefox
Together with the Xft.dpi setting (I use 220) this gives me a quite usable editor. If you have any other tips ShadowEO, I'd love to hear them!
One thing I'd like to figure out is how to modify the DPI for the Mir GDK Backend. Currently GTK3 applications started with the backend are way to small.

Sorry, for some reason I wasn't subscribed to this post (weird.)
Anyway the specific application I was looking at was gedit, when started with the native GDK Mir backend, it is almost unusable with touch as the elements are so small. GDK_SCALE doesn't work and neither does any of the GTK dconf settings for scaling.
Also, I have switched to using rc-proposed, so any more changes I do will likely be able to be installed without worrying about the snapshot channel.
Also messing with some touch-screen specific .gtk2.0-rc entries seem to help, but since I reformatted, I don't quite have those offhand at the moment. I'll have to look them up again.
Hi!
Thanks a lot for all these useful explanations! Finally I was able to run Firefox on my bq E4.5 (rc-proposed)! But I have a few questions:
1) I don't have any on-screen keyboard
2) it works like with a mouse (no touch scrolling for instance)
Is there something I can do about that?

You could try the touchegg package for multi touch gestures, I haven't gotten around to testing it yet. As for keyboard, you can use onboard for most applications or if the application is a QT application, it will pop up the system keyboard (behavior was exhibited by calibre)

Thanks a lot for your answer. Sorry I don't know much yet about all this so my questions might be silly!
1) I installed touchegg but I don't know how to make it work
2) I have no keyboard in any app I installed (caja, gedit, firefox, ...)
Another question: I have a bq E4.5 and although I have 3.5G of free space on my internal memory the space available for apt-get-ed apps is much smaller (I have 50M left after installing just those few apps above). So no way to try libreoffice or other heavier app. Do you know if there is a solution for that?
Thank you very much!

If you use the matchbox setup I described above then you should have a keyboard.

This website describes a tweak to put the apt cache on an external SD card. It's in German, but the command lines should be clear enough. Let us know how it goes.
https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Ubuntu_Touch/Terminal/#Freien-Speicher-beobachten
You would need to run touchegg in the wrapper. Sadly wth keyboard, the only applications that will get the system keyboard are QT based applications. GTK+ and other applications will require onboard to be installed. I messed around with trying to install maliit-context-gtk2 to get the system keyboard to show in all apps, but that broke the keyboard completely.
Remember XMir is better used with a physical keyboard since it doesn't trigger the Ubuntu keyboard for everything.
You can also make the system img bigger if using MultiROM: you simply run e2fsck -fp /path/to/Ubuntu.IMG and resize2fs <target size> /path/to/Ubuntu.IMG.

I've played around with this a bit, but I can't get touchegg to work. I start an xmir application, then log in via ssh from my desktop. After setting the DISPLAY variable, I can start more X applications ok. After starting touchegg I see an output like this:
Code:
Reading config from "/home/phablet/.config/touchegg/touchegg.conf"
Try to make a multitouch gesture. If everything goes well the information about the gesture must appear
[+] Avaliable gesture:
Name -> Flick
[+] Avaliable gesture:
Name -> Drag
[+] Avaliable gesture:
Name -> Pinch
[+] Avaliable gesture:
Name -> Rotate
[+] Avaliable gesture:
Name -> Tap
[+] Avaliable gesture:
Name -> Touch
I assume that I am supposed to see some more output when a touch gesture is recognised by touchegg, but nothing ever shows up.
I can see touch events with either xinput or evtest

Some websites point to synclient for the configuration of touchegg, but that doesn't seem to work in Xmir:
Code:
$ synclient
Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?
Does anyone else have more luck with touchegg?
While researching it, I stumbled over references to xSwipe, but I haven't looked into that any further.

Just to reiterate, the matchbox-keyboard works fine for me!
Oh, and one thing I wanted to share: The firefox extension Grab and Drag allows a more natural touch screen style drag-to-scroll.
I completely forgot the matchbox keyboard while writing that reply, I'm not sure what's going on with touchegg as I haven't had a chance to play with it on Ubuntu touch. It could be that XMir isn't actually passing that much information about touch events.
matchbox-window-manager struggle
I am on the new Aquarius m10 Ubuntu tablet.
Tried to run tome applications and realized the X11 and Mir problem.
Came across your solution! Thank you for sharring!
Well, I dont seem to be able to install matchbox-window-manager
It shows a lot of missing dependencies and I am not abble to install them manually either..
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
matchbox-window-manager : Depends: libmatchbox1 (>= 1.7-1) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libstartup-notification0 (>= 0.2) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libxsettings-client0 but it is not going to be installed
Any light?? Thank you very much

Thanks for sharing this info! I also own the M10 ubuntu tablet and try to run some X11 apps.
I am able to apt-get matchbox-window-manager. But it won't start and says it can't find the display.
Running either:
Code:
matchbox-window-manager
matchbox-window-manager -d :0
as a normal user or root always returns: "can't open display! check your DISPLAY variable.".
ubuntu-pocket-desktop is up to date and I also set the DPI in ~/.Xdefaults.
What could be the reason it can't find the display? What could I try?

Bumping this thread as I've edited the OP with the official instructions for running Legacy X Applications on Ubuntu Touch. As well as information about getting the system maliit-based OSK showing in X Applications (It's not that great though, you still may have better luck with matchbox-keyboard/on-board, but not sure how you'd even start those in Libertine.)
Welcome everyone to my RPi Media Center. This project is aimed at RPi 2 & RPi 3. Just a couple of things before we get started:
This project aims to explain how to set up a complete multimedia center (mediacenter), a game station and a download server. All in one. Any use aimed at hacking / stealing content with copyrights / third parties without express consent is prohibited. This project is based on a set of free software that can be easily found on the internet. This project has no lucrative purpose, its sole purpose is to teach and educate people the configuration and use of the different programs. This project was originally maintained by AikonCWD and has since stopped updating the project, so i am taking it on board to get it back up and running smoothly again. Obviously there will and are hick-ups/bugs. Thus for the mean time i will keep the project in Beta until we have a fully functional release.
For DCMA reasons Kodi will be supplied with NO EXTRA ADD-ONS. Please do not ask about them Look HERE if you are such inclined to do so. We do not condone such behavior.
Features:
-Multi-Media Center: Kodi 17.4 Krypton
-Game Center: RetroPie 4.0
-Game Streaming: Moonlight 2.2.1
-Download Center(s): Transmission & PyLoad
-Workstation: XFCE, FireFox & Chromium
-Tools: a bunch of extra tools
Needed Components:
-RPi 2 or PRi3
-MicroSD SDHC card (6gb or more recommended)
-MicroUSB Charger(5Volt and 3Amp)
-Protective enclosure for the RPi
-HDMI Cable
Recommended Extras:
-Power supply cable with the ON/OFF click button switch
-Heat sinks and fan to help keep the RPi Cooler
-Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo
-Xbox360 Controller (USB)
Pre-Configured for ease of use:
-Everything is pre-configured for a plug and play functionality. You shouldn't have to set anything up unless you have updated the files.
-Everything is in English, Originally translated from Spanish. (Please note i can support more languages if its needed in the future)
-Protocols SSH and SMB (Samba) are enabled (Username: root / Password: aikoncwd)
-Transmission setup for maximum torrent speeds (IT IS HIGHLY RECCOMENDED TO SET THIS UP WITH YOUR OWN Username and Password! Info on how to do that can be FOUND HERE)
-Access via Zeroconf enabled (For remote control via SmartPhone)
Whats Been Disabled for Performance Reasons:
-AirPlay
-Time Addon
-RSS news reader disabled
-Library Sharing Via UPnP
Okay Lets get started with the Installation, its pretty straight forward i have shrunk the .img as low as i can for the mean time. After Beta is done i will make more of an effort to shrink the file further.
Installation:
1. Download the preconfigured BETA-RPiMediaCenter.img image
2. Record the image on your microSD card :
-Windows : Use Win32DisKImager
-Linux :
Code:
sudo pv BETA-RPiMediaCenter.img | sudo dd of=disk2s1 bs=4M && sync
-MAC : Use the Apple-PiBakery program , thanks to jagarciavi
3. Insert your microSD with the .IMG that we loaded on to the SD-Card In the previous step
4. Plug in the power
5. The Raspberry will light up (Red/Green LED's on the mainboard) and the start up splash will show.
7. RPi Media Center will start automatically at boot every time.
8. (Optional) Verify that the partition occupies 100% of your microSD with the command:
Code:
df -h
MD5 CHECK-SUM:
Code:
921d4d195a795ddef00cf221160836f6
*Verify on windows with this TOOL
After Install
It is recommended that you set-up a static IP for your Media Center. It makes things a whole lot easier if you're using Moonlight and Transmission.
Which can be done by:
Opening Terminal and Typing
Code:
nano /etc/dhcpcd.conf
Then removing # From each of these lines:
Code:
interface eth0
static ip_address=192.168.1.100/24
static routers=192.168.1.1
static domain_name_servers=8.8.8.8
And then setting up as to how you need it to. Its different for everyone.
Extras Install Guide:
Configure PyLoad (optional)
PyLoad is a program that allows you to transform your Raspberry into a direct download server . The PyLoad daemon is installed and configured, but it is disabled by default since not all users need to use it. If you want to enable and use PyLoad ... keep reading:
First of all we are going to configure the daemon so that it is auto-executed when turning on the Raspberry . Edit the cron auto-boot file with the command:
Code:
crontab -e
We are located at the bottom, locate the line @reboot pyLoadCore -daemonand remove the comment from the beginning, it should look like this: @reboot pyLoadCore --daemon( you have to put the 2 dashes in front of the word daemon ). Save the changes by pressing the keys: CTRL+ X, then Yand finallyIntro
You will have to restart your Raspberry to have the pyLoad daemon running, remember that Kodi turns on automatically, you must close it to return to the console.
We access PyLoad through a web browser using port 8000 , for example: http://192.168.1.100:8000
The default user is root and password root . In the top menu you can manage the user and change the password (recommended), just below you will find the configuration where you can edit the configuration, captchas plugins etc ... and add any premium account you have from the different hosts.
Overclocking (optional) DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK!
I recommend enabling a bit of overclock , you'll get more fluency when moving through the Kodi menus and you'll noticeably boost performance when playing emulators. Your CPU will be able to perform faster calculations and access to ram memory or microSD disk will have lower response times.
Strongly recommend use some method of ventilation / cooling in order to avoid reaching 85C , since the RPI lower speed if it reaches that temperature
If you want you can run a benchmark (diagnostic) to test your overclock level, execute the following command:
Code:
curl [url]https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aikoncwd/rpi-benchmark/master/rpi-benchmark.sh[/url] | sudo bash
Raspberry Pi 3: Overclock settings
Edit your file nano /boot/config.txtand paste the following code, you can adjust the values to have more or less overclock:

Hi. The previous version from AikonsCWD impressed. I was looking for ways to update KODI on Krypton, found your topic. Thanks for the update, but the scripts do not work, the command line falls out. Are there plans to upgrade from beta? I was looking for a way to cross Raspbyan XFCE and KODI, but really nothing happened. Do not tell me how to update or build your image? Thank you.
P.S. English is not my favorite language.

Thanks for your feedback, I'm looking at updating it this year but I'm not sure when that will occur. The scripts don't work as stated. If you exit out of kodi you will be met with the command line which is where you run said commands to get them to work. Kodi is updating to 18 later this year so I might update the project to support 18 and the scripts till then this runs as intended.
Hello and thanks for the effort!
Although the image is working fine in my RP2+, I tried it into an RPB3+ and looks the OS is not booting.
Any idea what's happening? I tried default values and also overclock values, neither is making bootstrapping the OS.
