[TABUNTU] Galaxy Tab 10.1 NATIVE Ubuntu WIFI now with a video

Smh the youtube function hates me... click HERE to watch the video...
Touchscreen not working right as of yet... I strongly suggest a USB mouse and Keyboard for this... Touchscreen is pretty much unusable at this time. I would appreciate any help that can be offered.
First start off downloading THIS. It is the ROOTFS.. first off it needs to have the /etc/fstab edited properly to include / as mmcblk0p11 instead of 13... I know I know... This is a work in progress....
Next download THIS... Contains the ubuntu kernel and boot information.. the boot.img and system.img are for your stock ANDROID rom of choice.. just extract the IMG's out of the roms and place them in the folder..
Download THIS and place it in the directory you extracted the above files to.
ADB does work.. and you can ADB into your tab.. I have not created Windows directions yet.. but you can pretty much run the same commands...
I AM NOT TO BLAME FOR ANYTHING! This REPARTITIONS your device and ERASES EVERYTHING... you must do a FULL ODIN to restore to STOCK.... I am NOT responsible for anything that happens to your device.
remember to chmod +x nvflash and the script...
And wait......... It takes about 20 minutes to flash everything... be patient..
When it is done flashing boot up like you were going to go into CWM recovery... Your recovery is now your linux boot image.. You can use NVFlash to flash back CWM to apply whatever and just flash the linux.img back to partition 8 to get ubuntu back..
Thanks again to LilStevie.. without him this would not be possible...
my github code is availabe here.
If you would like to donate for my work and to the OMFGB/OMGB build box which I own and run click HERE
I'll pretty this up when I have a free minute...

Will this work if one has a locked bootloader?

Nice work, Poitee.

I don't have much experience with the locked bootloader SGT's... Im sorry I can't answer your question...

I'm sure there's tons of interest. These tab 10.1 threads seem so slow at times. a lot different then I'm used to. I'd keep goin with it bro. its gonna be sweet.

This would derinately be useful to me, even more so if it could be dual booted, although I suspect my locked bootloader could be a stumbling block. Thanks for the effort you've put in so far.

It does dual boot... what it does is make your recovery partition your boot partition for ubuntu..
as far as locked bootloader... Im not sure..

yes please definitely interested in getting a version which fully works with the touch screen , that would be awesome!!

Of course were interested. Stop slacking and get past an alpha stage to a bets stage so we can all play.
Goodwork

This is friken cool man!
Keep on it, i would love to have ubuntu+ touch screen working.

I have a locked bootloader, but I would love to see this dual boot along side of honeycomb.

This is awesome! Great job. I can't wait for a dual boot setup.

This is awesome! Definitely keep up the good work. It should work on a locked tab no problem you'll just need to use Odin instead of nvflash so a bit of modification is needed to wrap those images into md5 files for Odin. If I have some free time I'll try it on my locked tab.

Wow I just saw the video and I'm very impressed, I can see this making my netbook redundant I'll try it out once it becomes odin flashable and I have the time to find out more about how it works.
Thanks again for the effort so far.

Yes, I would love to see some Linux working on a galaxy tab with touch screen functioning at minimum.
I was following viewsonic grab Ubuntu thread since last December but developers never got it working. Also video drivers was generic ones without hardware acceleration, camera and sensors did not work either... but this was less important for me then touch screen functionality.
If you can make it happen then by all means you should continue...

nice...
would any of the existing tegra2 development from motorola help? they got ubuntu running on the atrix device.. maybe something can be used?
im pretty sure it can be distributed onto many devices, as the ventana platform is standard, but drivers for touch, panel etc is missing..
how did you get the boot changed? how is the bootloader able to boot between 2 different kernels? do you have the source for bootloader available?

+1. I agree, especially about the Touchscreen, not many have the USB adapter to play around with it so that's probably why the reply count is low.
I think once it's usable without a mouse and keyboard you will see an explosion of interest in this. It's really a good idea to... really opens up the power of these things. Android is nice but it's kiddy stuff compared to a full blown Linux distro.
Linux for Tegra should help provide native 3D acceleration and stuff to If I'm not mistaken... I see a bright future for Ubuntu on tablets. (for nerds like us anyways )
Please don't stop development! lol I really look forward to it

[DEV] Framebuffer console

Hi,
I wanted to see Tux on my phone, so I tried to make framebuffer console working.
Here is the result: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IB7g6zTDQjs
As you can see, android boots up with it, and I did not find any bug once booted, but if you try to turn phone on with USB plugged-in, it will freeze - I think something in display driver is wrong or the driver itself is not intended to be used with fbcon. But when I just plug USB to phone when its turned off, it starts charging.
Modifications to kernel with my comments(its kernel for froyo, I tested GB kernel as well, but its pretty much the same): https://github.com/Tasssadar/kernel/commit/b1c614341dbc04ec1ace604f0b4903944dd8aa9d
Kernel command line: console=tty0,115200 androidboot.hardware=thunderg fbcon=font:VGA8x8,rotate:1 mem=471M no_console_suspend=1
ZIP for recovery(for froyo ROMs): http://www.multiupload.com/NQQ1YKN6K8 - dont forget to make nandroid backup, it will replace whole boot partition, so re-flashing your kernel wont help.
Did anybody play with this already? Maybe solved the driver bug?

i dont understabnd what is this

very nice for debug ... sometimes we realy need this!!!

omg, this is soo cool =D cant help ya but i will try to make one of that for me =)

https://github.com/Tasssadar/kernel/commit/49ff95225eb724926434adaaa8abcd9a53c9b29b - makes it much faster, but without rotation. Or you can just turn off logo and rotation, result will be the same thing.

Working..
Ex.how to uninstall?

Flash your kernel again (that way you will see just black screen instead of logo) or restore from your nandroid backup, which I am sure you have.

You guys should really let the users install it. It says it the topic title [DEV], the idiot who will install this and not know what it's used for is simply "stupid".

With fbcon log + camera(coolest debug log ever) I finally managed to make dual-boot working - I have one rom in the internal memory and another one on ext partition on SD card. It is however kinda tricky to make it working properly, would you like to see some dev topic with this or you think its useless?

AFAIK (correct me please) this displays kernel infos,so it's kinda useful to fserve,mik and others. However,I'll try to do that with mik's sources. I'll post it if you guys want.

i tried first to flash cwm with rom manager. But my phone wasn't listed.
so i flashed cwm with odin. but there was still no cwm on the phone.
so i tried to make a backup with rom manager. the phone shut down and was dead^^
so i can't reallay tell what killed my phone. but i think you are right.
i f... up the phone with rom manager.

What version of CWM?
I flashed my mini with odin and it's sucess, i think the problem is ROM manager..
After you flash with odin,do you tried to go to recovery mode to see the CWM recovery?
-sorry for my bad english..-

take out your battery press button combo for download mode
while keeping the button pressed insert the battery you should be in download mode

Never ever use ROM manager

Again a new dead phone thanks to rom manager.
It is time for a sticky not to use rom manager with galaxy mini.

You must had read forums before doing these experiments. If jig method is not working then you are in big trouble. I think you have to replace your motherboard.

How great is my chance to get this repair under guarantee?
At least this phone isn't that expensive.
and btw thanks for all your support

I think there's a high chance you can replace it ~ since Rom Manage usually hard brick our mini which make them hard to check it, maybe they would replace the motherboard of the device ~

They will change the motherboard
Since
Even they cant make the phone go in even the dwnld mode
Let alone recovery n on
They cant find out

Happened

I totally agree, I once tried to use Rom Manager too, fortunately I didn't cause the Mini wasn't listed, and then did a little more research and found it out.
Maybe it's possible to contact the developer to remove Mini from compatible list in Google Play?

Yup. This was ported from the One. So expected to not work. But shouldn't be difficult to fix that.

Thanks a lot for what all of you did to getting MIUI on the Xperia Z !
I will be following this thread to give you feedback.
On the other thread, i mentioned my data network didn't work, forget that. I check my access point and it work perfectly now.
But i was really surprised when i wanted to go to my clockworkmod and i saw a "Teamwin mod"-thing... It's not very kind to do some thing we didn't want...
Somebody have a *.zip to get back my old clockworkmod ? Thanks
The MIUI V5 Rom work very well. Unfortunately, there is the SD Card problem who cause a lot of ForceClose. But i'm sure you will get it work.
Keep the good work guys !

The recovery is built into the kernel. If you want me to post CWM, I shall post another boot.img. However, I do suggest you to try TWRP. It's much faster and easier.

Sorry @alnikki25k for a bit of a thread steal (its OK we're a team). You know this means. Sense 5.0 from the One is possible. Forget our Droid DNA port cause that ruined my phone (Sony are replacing it). I'll talk later on Hangouts in more depth cause I had a Sense 5.0 ROM that booted (stuck on the boot screen just like the original versions of yours and my MIUI builds, However Android being Android, ADB won't work...)

The storage maybe the services.jar problem.

Softkeys mods and custimizations

I'm not responsible for any of this. This someone else thread and development.
I'm simply posting a link for those who would like to play around with this.
Most of these are apks that will show up in under settings/display/front touch buttons/color. For your choosing.
I have tried pretty much all the softkeysin this thread (that are not girly) and have had no issues what so ever. Proceed on your own. I'm not responsible.
All credit goes to those that made these apps and mods in the thread I'm linking you to.
Link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51905092

I would love to do this, but not having a custom recovery makes me leary.

all these are just apk's that you download and use what ever file manager you prefer and click and install. you dont have to replace any apks or modify anything. so due to that its pretty safe if softkeys apk doesnt work then in settings select another softkey theme and use your file manager to delete the one that doesnt work

You can download and install them. Tried it by myself and i'm stock, not rooted and no custom recovery installed!
All you have to do, is download what you want, install as normal apk (don't forget in settings-security to active 'unknown sources').
After you installed them, in the settings-display-front touch buttons-color you find them.
If the 'original' appear on homescreen, just deactivate 'transparent background'.
Sorry about my English.

Thanks for that. Yeah I've been trying to explain this is safe. Not a mod just normal apk's. I probably should have mentioned in the OP that you don't need root. And hey I learn something new everyday I.e. disable transparent to get them to show the new soft keys on home screen. I didn't know that. Thanks.
