Ubuntu - Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
When I start up Ubuntu (v12.04) in the Virtual Machine it keeps hanging in the command screen. I want to browse on the internet so I can start building a ROM on it.
What can I do about it?

I used the recommended amount of RAM. It recommended 520 MB to me.

Anyway you need much more to give to the virtual machine to build. With 520 mb it will freeze and crash

Allocate free space to fresh install ( dual boot) ubuntu.. Your machine need at least 8gb ram..100gb hdd space and fast internet connection to build a rom..it is better if u use ssd..

But how much ram do you have? If more than 8gb you can make a virtual machine, if 4gb you have to install it in a partition, if 2 or 3 gb you can say goodbye to source building

Well, I have about 3gb RAM. So it's way too low.
MY pc is very old, so if I really want to start developing, I should buy a newer pc

I have Ubuntu up and running via Wubi.
I think my next pc might be Linux with Ubuntu, like it way better than Microsoft crap

You will need Windows anyway. And Wine doesn't work that well either. You better dual boot Elementary OS (Ubuntu - crap) with your Windows machine. You can Google how to do that.

Not true. I used to compile on a dual core laptop with 3 gig ram..
One build of cm took 5 hours. But it was always successful..

[Request][port]Gecko OS[Firefox OS]

Hey dudes, did you heard about the new operating system by Firefox? Well I did and I want to experiance it, if someone can port or give instructions please do it.
BTW I have heard that the Samsung Galaxy Gio is having a port although it is not yet released.
If Gio gets the port, we will easily get the port too!

No, it can run on any android device, I saw it running on an HTC Wildfire(armv6).It can run even on iPhone(I think, i read it on a blog)

Eeeeh, the gio has a port being released soon
Sent from my GT-S5830 using Tapatalk 2
Once the system/kernel is ported for gio it should be quite stable since all the apps use web languages.
I will think about getting a 'boot to gecko' device when my contract runs out nnext year.
I really like Mozilla and would love to support them with their open 'web' os.

Gio already has it booting. But it's buggy...
And there's no apps asuch for it. Just HTML5 Web Apps.

The speccy stuff shouldnt be a matter of concern since the OS is designed for the lower(/mid)-end devices.

Wish there was a way to port armv7 to armv6.

Swype Beta

Download Swype Beta for android.
Runs great and smoother than the stock Swype. Although it takes around 20mb phone memory.. but is worth trying..

Linking or moving it will not create lag, but it does takes a lot of processing. I had issues with swype beta on conservative governor. on smartassv2 it works quite well though
Yep. No lag.

I once asked kasper_h for that, you need to recompile the kernel with changed values to 0 mA.
But I couldn't try it since my HD has not enough space.

A custom kernel for cm10 4.1.2 would be great.
Sent from my OptimusBlack using xda app-developers app
A echo command shouls be enough. Maybe someone with ICS can check, which file is being changed, when you switch leds from on to always off. It should be one value going from 1 to 0 or vice versa. Just check it out, try the same on cm10, since it uses the same drivers and enjoy. I cant test it, cause I dont have time and I am not using ICS.

Maybe you don't installed the right firmware or you do something wrong when you flashed with Odin.
Or the file was corrupted.
