ok folks im hoping people can test this for me,
just built a new build (my first for the adam) based on the newest official 2.2 build but with some interesting tweaks
NOTE: i am a dev working for NI especially on honeycomb soon, but these roms are my own.
changelog:
New Kernel with NTFS support, android does not mount this by default but you can mount it via adb read only. (kernel has rw support but i couldnt get it to mount a ext drive rw)
Kernel has few other tweaks and changes and doesn seem to die when sleeping either now
performance tweaks (minor ones) made to the os itself
full google apps added (untested )
ability to disable ril/phone features to conserve battery (see below for info)
adhoc wifi courtesy of the update posted on this site previously
disabled some of the logspam that was enabled but isnt needed
boot.img is first stage prepped for honeycomb
install instructions
download the file linked below and copy to either sd or your adams internal memory and flash as normal

Please refer to original post linked above for download link
RIL Disabling Information
ok this is a creative feature. all adams be them 3g or wifi only versions keep thje phone related applications and services running in the background and on the wifi only adams this causes a higher battery drain due to system constantly trying to connect to a network, i have implemented a way to disable this by setting a simple property in the system
to do this you need to edit the /system/build.prop file and change the mentioned line to 1 instead of 0 then reboot
if that doesn work then try the below route
open a terminal and run the following command then reboot
Code:
setprop persist.ril-off 1

I am amazed by the lack of discussion about this. I wonder if this Stephen fella can let that kernel out...

It is probably because there aren't very many Adam users yet.

Yeah I think there are very very few adam owners out in the wild. Might be a decent bump after this next delivery round next week.
And NI has not officially released their kernel source and from my discussions with them I wouldn't expect it real soon. I did however explain to them that it will have to be eventually so I think they might be working on it.

I second that. Am a fervent flasher (the right kind....) and when I get my Adam I will certainly be putting my own 2 cents in to get the most out of it, both OS and UI wise.
I am not alone, so definitely expect a flury of activity by Adam enthousiasts once the next 2 batches are delivered.

You guys are lucky to have djsteve as your new Dev. He's put in a lot of work for the Dell Streak since it first came out and he will probably put in a lot of work for the Adam ink as well.

UPDATE: 10/03/2011:
time for another update
changelog:
reverted vold change as it screws up things
added some more perf tweaks,
added data2ext script from gtab forum on xda, seems to work nicely, can hit quadrant scores of ~3200 now
flash you will need to install yourself at moment, i forgot to readd it link for flash : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpos ... stcount=26
Code:
refer to original thread/forum for download links
enjoy folks and if anyone wants to do another video feel free.
---------------
UPDATE: 17/02/2011:
ok have tweaked a bit more and made a few more changes.
changelog:
new vold added with ntfs mount support (see below for some issues known with this)
flash player added and should auto install
fixed market and facebook
fixed superuser ability
added estrongs file manger for root use
tweaked the ril scripts to be easier to use.
added modified nvrm_daemon to increase 2d framerate
Code:
refer to original thread/forum for download links
*note for VOLD, this now mounts ntfs drives read only, but it has slightly screwed up the mounts, if you power up device with no microsd plugged in it will mount the internal storage and allow access to is via usb, if you plug in a microsd or boot with one in it will mount both internal and external sds but share the external over usb, it quite happily detects and mounts my 1tb usb hdd which is ntfs formatted though now.
ril tweaks: now all you need to do is create a empty file on your memory card called riloff.txt then reboot and script should do the rest to reenable rename the file rilon.txt and reboot
enjoy folks and if anyone wants to do another video feel free.

[KANG] CM9 Atrix Test Build by wrldsuksgo2mars

I tried the latest build of CM7 done by the Atrix Dev Team and it is awesome. Very reliable, fully functional, etc. I figured I'd give a whirl to compiling the real ICS version to see what that was like.
CM9 build system with the appropriate Atrix Dev Team repos in place actually spit out a working ROM. There are a number of issues aside from the general preview state of CM9. I figured I would share them in case anyone else was as curious as me. Apparently, the internal atrix dev teams are well beyond these issues already, so kudos.
Probably related to CM/atrix specific stuff
- Camera and finger print sensor don't work
- Launcher crashes pretty often
- Some openGL demos don't seem to work right (or at all)
- No mounting the SD as USB storage
Probably related to the specific gapps package I used.
- Maps crashes after 3 seconds (signal 11 - native code crash)
- Maps wants to update, but it can't (sharedId conflict if you actually remove maps)
- Earth won't run (missing the earthmobile library)
- Google Voice Search bombs (signal 4 - illegal instruction - currently suspecting the native packages might have some NEON instructions that the atrix cpu doesnt support)
- Calendar will not sync for google or exchange. App loads, but the sync service is failing
- Lots of null pointer exceptions for the NFC stuff in the log.
Anyway, this is just a build of the code that's out there, nothing special done by me. It might be useful for a dev phone or something but not for use on a real day-to-day device. Obviously it doesn't have the google apps embedded in it.
http://www.multiupload.com/XT9QPPQYF1 thanks xploited for uploading
md5: 670068584eb94bf1d660c0450815ad0d
Personally, I had trouble going back to CM7 afterwards, my clockwordmod backups were screwed up (bad boot.img? cross-linked files on the SD card) and I had a very hard time getting back to the good ole working state. Ultimately, I had to restore the partial backup and then reflash the CM7 image + gapps.
So, if you were curious what building a random repo on the web and installing it on your phone would do, then feel free to try and lose all of your data. There are no updates/support for this, etc. It's just a curiosity... what is the state of this stuff right now?
BTW... I am back on CM7/Atrix now which is AWESOME!!!!

Not sure how the dev team would react to this ..we do not want any bricked phones because of this ..there maybe some experimental dangerous code in there in those sources as of now ..not sure though

Hmm... figured since I spent quite awhile getting a build set up, it might be worth sharing. I am happy to take down if it is inappropriate.

Well I am not the best person to answer that ...but yeah thanks for your work.

Eh, I wouldn't be mad about it, but I think it needs more caution. I would just wait. As you say, it kindof screwed with a lot and wasn't very usable, so why flash it? Maybe ok for someone who wants to look at the code, but I wouldn't flash it.

Awesome news man. Thanks for being a lab rat and giving us an update.

Not so much take it down as change the title of the post.
the current internal atrix-dev-team cm9 is way further ahead of this, we have some different patches. this is missleqading as it makes it sound official and is not.
Could you please change the tittle to [KANG] CM9 Test Build by "your name"
and please link to the sources, as is proper practice for open source projects
thank you

Anyways, Just out of curiosity... where can you find the official Atrix Dev team's CM9?

The one been worked on by turl is with him, that is not for public release.
Dont forget to tell him merry xmas!

Come from Chinese thinks!

i shall say this.. if this is behind where the dev team actually is...things are looking good! and btw.. i believe fruitcaker maker works. installed and is now creating;]
edit: yep. it does.

Thanks man very very good work android congratulations for share work whith comunity
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium

it looks very nice but id needs a bit more work to be a experimental daily driver.
ps: to solve the corrupt backup problem just copy the files to your computer before flashing and copy to your phone before restoring.
good luck!

where can I get google apps for this rom? Tryed gapps for CM7 from CM wiki - fail, setup wizard crashes.

try the one on this link

For a preview build it looks pretty nice. Surprisingly stable for what it is. Definitely keeping an eye on this, especially since the code is out there to make DIY kangs with.

[Recovery] Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP) - 2.2.1.5 (last update: 18 August 2012)

Hello everybody!
Yesterday I was thinking about a new app for Android, and this app would be able to comunicate with the recovery to schedule things like backup and restore. In 2011 I released "ROM Updater" (not that big success though) which used extendedcommands, an extension to the recoveries made by the team of CyanogenMod (it was indeed created to let the CM updater work).
ClockworkMod Recovery adopted this system, but the author probably didn't want the competition, so started to release the ClockworkMod recovery with encrypted extendedcommands. You can still recompile CWM and redistribute with the unencrypted commands, though I decided to opt for something less rouge-ish (why the hell should I recompile something that already "works"?).
Team Win Recovery Project is a 100% open-source recovery with a new scripting language, called "OpenRecoveryScript". It's just like extendedcommands, but without all the implications of "Premium"* or in any case limited API.
Well, TWRP is not only that, it's a full-multitouch recovery, easy to use. It's being built for a list of devices, and this list will be updated every time someone will compile the recovery for his own device. I decided to compile it for the P7500, hoping it will be added soon to the official list. In the mean while, I'll release the builds right here.
I've built and tested the recovery image for the P7500 (WiFi+GSM) and it's been confirmed that it works on the P7510 device too (WiFi only).
Goo.im GT-P7500 TWRP repository
TechErrata GT-P7500 TWRP repository
TWRP 2.2.1.5 - GT-P7500
openrecovery-twrp-2.2.1.5-gt-p7500.img (on Goo.im)
openrecovery-twrp-2.2.1.5-gt-p7500.img (on TechErrata.com)
TWRP 2.2.2.0 - GT-P7510 (thanks to MapleSyrup)
openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.0-gt-p7510.img
How to flash:
- Copy the recovery into the storage partition (alias /sdcard)
- In adb, as root, execute dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2
Cheers
*I personally think that Koushik Dutta (the ClockworkMod guy), encrypting the commands with his distributions, played hard: ROM Manager is the "official" CyanogenMod updater (it's distributed along with any CM release even if it's not opensource (and the CM guys worked hard to take the closed-source apps out of their release)), de-facto everybody install the CWM recovery just 'cause it's already there (déjà vu Internet Explorer?). I think this is called "monopoly" and should be fought in any possible way.

I'm all for true open source development, and will be watching your progress on this. Kudos and a thanks to you!

This appears to work on my Wifi Galaxy Tab 10.1 (p7510). Although the log says "E: Unable to mount /sdcard" I can access the sdcard just fine. I tried updating to the latest droidbasement.com kernel and it flashed perfectly.
Oh, and thanks for the quick and easy non-odin way of flashing recoveries.

The recovery is already in the goo.im repository
http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/gt-p7500
The dropbox image is already update to fix the /sdcard "problem" ^^

Would this work on a Galaxy Tab 10.1 wifi (p4wifi)?
Sent from my Nexus One

According to AAccount yes. Please confirm this, so that I'll tell the TWRP guys to add the repo for that device too and I'll update the title of the conversation here.

I can say without a doubt that this is the best recovery I have used on any device in my 3 years with android phones. Wow! Graphics a bit grainy on the p7500, but functionality is fantastic! Thanks!

Very nice recovery system, good to see other options. HTC users had several choices such as AmonRa and 4ext.

Can confirm that it works on the WiFi only version. Thanks for the options , friend. Been running TWRP on my One X since the boot loader was unlocked, and I was missing it.

You don't actually need to use adb. Any terminal app should do it. Just tyope "su" before issuing the dd command. I used this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&feature=nav_result. I suppose a word of caution would be to make sure you have the command correctly. Don't make a typo like mmcblk0p3 or you could be in a nasty situation.
Adb can be found in the android sdk. Google "android sdk" and download the appropriate one. After that have the sdk download platform tools.

An easy and safe way if you have the SDK installed is to run adb shell
Then type su
paste in the dd command posted earlier

Thanks....I went on google and am now learning about Android SDK. Interesting stuff. I know how I will be spending my weekend!
EDIT: In the meantime, I went ahead and used terminal emulator for the commands. I definitely like the touch interface...and it looks nicer than cwm for sure! It is a little slow graphically, but I think that can be forgiven based on the look of the interface.
Confirmed working on the p7510 wifi

Hi
It works like a charm on my 7500.
Thanks for that. Maybe some one could make the install more user friendly, a recovery zip?
Sent from my GT-P7500 using XDA Premium HD app

I could create an update zip... if only I could remember where I left the signing tool...

This is a really nice recovery, thanks for posting it. And I think that with this recovery I can flash a zip from the command line, this will be really useful for my scripts.

^-- this works for the 7510 too
BTW it's just a line in recovery.fstab in the device sources: comment the /sdcard one.

Works great for me although it's a bit slow to boot into compared to CWM or even to TWRP on my brother's HP Touchpad. Also text is a bit pixelated. Other than that though it seems to work well. I use 4ext on my Nexus One so it's really nice to finally get a touch recovery on my tab too

[DEV][WIP] Ubuntu Phone Preview for LG Optimus 2x (alpha)

This thread is intended for developers and others who can contribute to the project
If you think you can contribute, please do so
Standard disclaimer:
I am not responsible if anything happens to your device
Status:
Device specific build of Ubuntu's minimal cm10.1 build ready
Ready for flashing
Working:
Touch screen
ADB
Browser (Although no net access yet)
You can browse and get a feel of the entire OS, including the homescreen (unity desktop), multitasking (the cool new way to switch between apps), etc.
Since it is a preview, many apps are dummy apps.
Screenshots:
Check them out here
Video:
Here is a video of the fresh new OS in action on the O2x made by JordanRulz
Download links:
Ubuntu touch preview (raring ringtail)
Current build of Ubuntu-CM10.1 (old bootloader)
New bootloader build by delaya73:
cm-10.1-20130604-UNOFFICIAL-p990.zip
Older Ubuntu phone quantal image
older build 2 of Ubuntu-CM10.1 by delaya73
older build 1 of Ubuntu-CM10.1 by delaya73 for the new bootloader
TWRP latest version is recommended (CWM 6.x may work too)
Note:
The raring/quantal image is large, but thankfully gets installed on the data partition, thus saving our small system partition the burden
Source:
Ubuntu-cm10 source
Building instructions:
Building instructions are similar to building CM10 (refer Raum's guide) till repo sync (instead of official cm10 repo, use above source during repo init)
Dont forget to add device props in "local_manifests" (local_manifest.xml is deprecated). Add the following in local_manifests:
Code:
(Taken from Raum's guide, thanks to him)
After syncing the repo,
1. cd device/lge/p990, connect your device running cm10.1 with usb debugging on, and then ./extract-files.sh
2. In device/lge/p990/fstab.p990, remove "nosuid" from data partition
3. In kernel/lge/star/arch/arm/configs, in cyanogenmod_p990_defconfig, add the following:
Code:
CONFIG_SYSVIPC=y
CONFIG_NAMESPACES=y
CONFIG_UTS_NS=y
CONFIG_IPC_NS=y
CONFIG_USER_NS=y
CONFIG_PID_NS=y
CONFIG_NET_NS=y
CONFIG_DEVTMPFS=y
CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES=y
CONFIG_FSNOTIFY=y
CONFIG_DNOTIFY=y
CONFIG_INOTIFY_USER=y
CONFIG_FANOTIFY=y
CONFIG_FANOTIFY_ACCESS_PERMISSIONS=y
CONFIG_FSNOTIFY=y
CONFIG_SWAP=y
# CONFIG_ANDROID_PARANOID_NETWORK is not set
4. Go to ubuntu folder inside your source folder and do
Code:
bzr branch lp:phablet-extras/libhybris hybris
bzr branch lp:platform-api platform-api
If you didnt have bzr, get it first using
Code:
sudo apt-get install bzr
Now you can build. This build would be for the old bootloader. For the new one, make these changes said by pengus77 here
Flashing instructions:
1. Make a full wipe (wipe data + format /system)
2. Flash the current build and raring/quantal image
Then flash this afterflash.zip
3. Reboot

I have not had time to install this ROM ... I have been testing other, but lack little longer to do so!
Once you have news post here the results.
Thank you all for the effort made

Thank you man you're doing a really good job

Very good job rugglez bro. cant wait for bootable version to test it on my self

Well, I tried to make some tests to see if he could complete the boot ... unfortunately without success after six or seven attempts.
Enough for today testing, hahahaha! ...

So finally your Repo synced! I've left Hope here! And yea, Rugglez Bhai, you are great! )

Boot animation comes from the Ubuntu-cm10.1 build and is the default cm10 boot animation. Since your tablet's Ubuntu image was released directly by canonical, they must have removed the cm10 boot animation before releasing it

If you read the first post, it's written there that it does not complete the boot yet, still a WIP.
The reason I posted was that if more contributors join in, more expertise, more time, better debugging and much higher chance of project success

The Credits list looks too small.
Maybe you can add Ricardo Cerqueira (for ahem) and TonyP for porting TWRP.

Ricardo is always a name in every project of the O2x, and he is a part of the CM team, in case you didnt know
But thanks for the reminder, I explicitly specified his name too now, deserves so much credit for bringing CM10 to our device.
Tonyp is a great contributor and we are thankful for all his work. But this is a ROM, and TWRP is a recovery used to flash a ROM, they have non-overlapping work. What I mean is, this ROM doesnt use TWRP's work, rather it can be flashed in TWRP or CWM6.
By your logic, Koushik Datta (developer of CWM and one of the best android devs) should be included in every ROM's credits here. Also, creators of USB, personal computers, internet, world wide web, which are also tools used in the process of flashing it.
(No offense meant to any of the above, they are all revolutionary people whom I greatly respect)
My point is, if I am using someone's work in this project/ROM, thats the person whose name goes in credits, not the one who is creating the tools to install it.
It's better if the discussion doesnt go further about this off-topic thing, if you find that I have used anyone's work in this ROM and not given credits, please let me know, thanks
Let's try to make Ubuntu Phone OS boot on our phone. Thats the priority here. Didn't get much time today, got college this week too, will see if I get time to work on it soon

[ROM][P6800][OnHold]Ubuntu-touch dev preview(18.03.2013)

I have put this project on hold for now. I flashed latest Austrian ICS build to my device and continue using it as my Kindle reader on my travels. IF somone manages to fix the two issues with kernel, send me a message and I'll continue working with the repository. But for now I'm not thinking nor touching the subject before Easter. Thank you for participating for now
I've started porting Ubuntu-touch dev-preview to the Galaxy Tab 7.7 (3g). If you do not understand it already, you flash this at your own risk. There is now also a Ubuntu-touch specific device page here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices/p6800. I'll try to keep this thread and the Ubuntu devices page as close to each other as possible.
Big thanks to Daniel_hk for helping with boot.img Now It can be booted, but the screen is still black
Also, without working wifi and display, the preview is basically unusable... Next steps should be these:
1. Get wifi drivers working.
2. Get display drivers working.

What works
Ubuntu-touch dev-preview is flashable.
It boots!
Known Issues
Kernel is based to the CyanogenMod/android_kernel_samsung_smdk4210, but it is a mess. So forked it, took code here and there (mostly from locerra's JB build).
Kernel is based 3.0.15 and no newer one available (yet).
Most of the drivers in kernel had to be turned off, because build was not succeeding...
bluetooth: Doesn't work
audio: Dock audio doesn't work.
hwcomposer: HDMI dongle doesn't work.
wifi: Doesn't work.
camera: Doesn't work.
.. and lot of kernel level bugs for sure.
Displaydrivers are not working (yet).
Release notes
Version 0.2 (13.03.2013) - Now it boots, see release notes
Version 0.1 (07.03.2013) - Intial release, nothing works
Credits
BIG THANKS to daniel_hk for solving the boot.img problem for me.
Anyone who has worked previously with the device/kernel source.
locerra (for getting CM10.1 to flashable state).

wowww!!! thank you !test now:victory::victory:

Placeholder for future.

I cannot test it for anything else. The kernel sources are from CM10.1 that was in use from locerra, so in theory it should work with i815 and with p6810 as well. But I cannot give you any guarantees...
And also before I get this build to even start with my device, I do not think that sharing image would help anyone. But if you are a developer, I would like to talk with you on issues that I might have missed or done wrong. So contact me

Re: [ROM][P6800]Ubuntu-touch dev preview(02.03.2013)
any update?

Not much. The generated image is missing /data/ubuntu completely and that is the reason why the image does not boot. I got also flu and fewer, so I have had not that much time after the weekend to look on the issues on that.
I'm also waiting if I get any answers from Ubuntu touch emailing list regarding the problem and where to look for answers, but my quess is that it has something to do with the devices fstab file...

Good news everyone!
Just got a very good answer the problem I had with the /data/ubuntu-folder missing from the image. There was no image provided for the actual Ubuntu at all by the build-process...
When I get home from work, I'll try to find time to look into the build process if I can include the actual Ubuntu image to the ready made image and then release it after I get my device to boot. But it seems that I got the right nudge forward for this now :highfive:

Hmpf, still not booting. Now the /data/ubuntu logs are unmodified, which would point towards kernel or fstab-issue (ie. /data/ubuntu is never used...).

Doh... still not working... Any ideas anyone?

Ok, new version build from different repositories (thx, danile_hk for tip).
I'll test the new image this evening when I get back to home, and I have my fingers crossed that I can get the device to boot up and even display something useful. After that I can start looking for ubuntu developemnt

New version did not work, but then Daniel_hk gave me working boot.img. So now I need to find out what the heck is wrong with my repository and fix it so that I can get working boot.img from start and also the device configuration has issues. Both repositories are currently out of sync I'm afraid

It seems that I hit the wall (again) with the mentioned big issues.
For now, I keep some sabbatical from Ubuntu Touch things (ie. I flashed ICS Austria to my device) and use it as my Kindle reader again.
If by miracle I get more info regarding how to get the Kernel working with Ubuntu Touch, then by allmeans I continue working with this project. So far it just seems that making a working image, is out of my hands currently.

At least you had a go. Thanks for your efforts, and hope you might have another crack at it later on.
I'm feeling a little bit that way right now too, and put my ICS kernel on the back burner. I think I'm trying to multitask a little too much at times....
Yep, a break is what you need, maybe some clarity will come after you've had a chance to recharge.

Not much, I have had no interest to spend time with this topic because I have been very busy IRL. After I get my new house renovated fully and get my job tasks done, I wont be spending much time with this project. Feel free to use any sources provided in this thread to further advance the subject.
But this wont go forward that much, if the GT-P6800 wont get official CM10.1 update...

It works?
