Hey guys!
For anyone who wants to try out the new Ubuntu Touch dual-boot, here's how (if your device isn't supported yet):
1. Download and install the attached apk.
2. Edit your build.prop (I recommend using an build.prop editor from the Play Store, but you can also do it manually)
Change the three original lines to look like this:
ro.product.model=Nexus 4
ro.product.device=mako
ro.product.manufacturer=LGE
3. Reboot into Ubuntu Touch!
Notes: A regular boot will boot your device into android, and you will have to reboot into Ubuntu Touch from within the installer app.
You will not be able to boot into recovery without uninstalling Ubuntu Touch.
Your backups may or may not be deleted when uninstalling Ubuntu Touch.
Warning: I own an Optimus G, very similar to the Nexus 4. As devices vary, so will compatibility. There are no promises that it will work well for all devices and I take no responsibility if something goes wrong, though I'm willing to help out if it does.
Edit: Feel free to try on your device, but will work best/only on Nexus 4/Optimus G variants
After changing build.prop to above settings now Ubuntu Dual Boot on Nexus 5 says Downloading Ubuntu (coulnt do that before), will report what happens next

Do you have superuser installed?
That's the only reason I can think of for it to not work.
Make sure that you are running the latest version.

Yes superuser is working fine. It seems to be some sort of a problem due to storage formated differently than Nexus 4?
EDIT: I manualy created /cache/system folder.. now installation went a bit further.. Image of error added.

Try this:
1. (In the app) Options > Delete Download
2. Try to download again, but this time, allow SuperUser access forever.
It could be possible that after a certain amount of time, SU is not giving the app root user permissions anymore. This could cause what you're experiencing.
Already did that since some users reported same error (nexus 4 users) but with no success. using SuperSU like other that had problems.. maybe i should try another superuser app

If you mean that it will not reboot in general, that sounds pretty bad.
If you mean that it won't reboot into Ubuntu Touch, try rebooting into recovery.
It won't reboot in Ubuntu. The phone goes out. And when I turn it on it opens on in cm11.

All I can suggest is to uninstall Ubuntu (not necessarily the app) and wait for it to be ported to your device, sorry.

GSM services do not work for me, but that only makes sense considering that the version of UT that is installed with the app is for Nexus devices.
The only 'workaround' so to speak would be to have Ubuntu Touch built for your device.
Unless someone chooses to do so, all we can do is play around with the partially functional OS.
By the way, the Nexus 4 was based off the Optimus G, and that's probably one of the main reasons it even installs properly.

Hi,
I have seen that some people have posted the latest version of the Android Market (2.2.6) as an apk file.
My questions are:
- If it will this work on DHD and correctly overwrite the old Market app and the market update utility ?
- Is installing the app this way legal ?
So anyway I did install it and it works fine.
A much needed upgrade.
I believe you can use this new market .apk file without problems, but I've read that a new official update is cooming soon, so if you doubtful if it's illegal, just wait.
It is working well here. If anyone wants it
Taken from here
Go to Settings>Applications>Mange Applications>Market>Clear Data... then install.
For some reasson I can't update it =(...

Uhhh for me it seems to be the other way around :S! The new one loads almost instantly, the old one took a few more seconds.
cud my longer start-up time be related to the fact that i downloaded the apk file from here and installed the update manually ?
Thanks for the post.
Runs perfectly on my DHD. Better than the old version actually. A very welcome market update.

Download and install a previous version of Aptoide. The same problem you describe, appeared on me with the latest version of Aptoide.

For Aptoide, not. You must however, enable the "unknown packages" option in the Settings\Security panel.
i have the same problem
this problem is caused by aptoide , in the new versione the file downloaded havent .apk extension and the installer doesn't work
if rename the file EXAMPLE in EXAMPLE.apk the installer works correctly but u have to do this with all the application downloaded :/
i want to try to modify to rename the file with extension
Is there an app that's similar or better than aptoide?

Aptoide is the best cydia-like app we have in Android. That's the end of it. If anyone else is experiencing installation problems with the latest versions of Aptoide, all he has to do is simply install an older version of Aptoide. It may be simpler in looks, but, most importantly, it WORKS!

Works fine fir me, after upgrading to 4.0 just delete the .aptoide folder then stop the app and clear data in app settings.
Relaunch let it add the default repo and any updating onstalls fine...

Tungstwenty is in develogment to build a X86 Version of Xposed and i had tested it.
Unfortunately, there is problems and Tungstwenty can´t solve the problem.
The good news:
I know what the problem is - your x86 ROM includes JIT support in the Dalvik VM, and xposed was compiled without JIT support as it's what the AOSP sources use for x86 specifically.
That's the reason for the crash.
The bad news:
I have no idea how to get the AOSP code to compile the dalvik code with JIT support on x86. It fails with the 4.1.2 sources, and also 4.2.1.
On the other hand, with the latest 4.2.2 it appears to compile properly.
I'll give it another shot and try compiling once I grab the android-4.1.2_r2 branch, on which your ROM might be based and with luck might have working JIT support on x86...
EDIT: No luck, android-4.1.2_r2 doesn't compile either
Either the reported version is wrong or the code used by the XT890 is different from AOSP

Maybe have anyone an idea or can help Tungstwenty to solve the problem?!

With official 2.4 (installed via installer) you will get into bootloop for sure.

I've been browsing here for awhile, and always see people preferring flashable zips rather then apps. My question is how do you keep track of these?
Haven't gotten my nexus yet (January 10th ): but I assume when you enter recovery, and select a zip to install it keeps a copy of the zip somewhere. Is there any application (the equivalent to cydia) that keeps track of installed things and gives options to re-install/remove zips? This is going to be my first android devices, so forgive me if this is false :S
Something like Xposed? Its not available for Lollipop / ART yet.
http://repo.xposed.info/module-overview
Most of these "tweaks" are in custom roms anyways.
No. You usually have your zips in a folder (Downloads, for me). Be sure to make a backup in recovery. Once you install a zip, it is permanent unless the creator made an uninstall zip(uncommon). So the only way to recover is from a backup. So usually mods will be apps to save this inconvenience. The only thing like cydia is TWRP manager which is an easy way to interface with recovery mode.
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app
TWRP will become your best friend. Backup your phone using TWRP recovery onto a OTG drive so you can restore it if SHTF and you some how brick your phone. I keep all of my zip files in a folder within my downloads so it's easy to see them.
Ok so Xposed is sorta like Cydia Substrate, as in besides the framework itself no code is changed to the system, it's all done in real time? So you don't have to flash a stock rom again if something screws up?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Right. But usually any tweaks with Xposed are graphical or convince. If you wanted to flash a new ROM or a kernel, you can't use closed for it. I've been using root for about 3 years, and only ever used about 4 xposed modules.

@jamcswain So when you flash an installable zip your really just automatically changing a file in your rom?

Eh. Kinda. If you flash a zip file, it can do most anything, but usually it runs a script(for things like root, gapps, etc.), or just copies files. Like I have a zip for a sound mod. I flash it and it takes the old sound drivers in /system and puts in the modded ones instead. It is a permanent tweak. Whereas xposed is dependent on the framework, not the ROM. And xposed isn't available for lollipop yet. Basically, (I'm trying to have this make sense), xposed is very limited and flashable zips are infinite. Xposed is independent of the ROM, and modifies apps, while zips usually modify the ROM.

basically create the obb folder and move the 3 files there then install the modified apk, not the one in obb. if your on a rom that cant sideload certain apks (liquidsmooth) you can just move the modified apk to /data/app/.
