[PORT] Ubuntu Touch for Nexus 5 - Nexus 5 General

Hi guys.
A few days ago, I've started the porting of Ubuntu Touch for Nexus 5 (hammerhead).
Changelog:
Spoiler
*** 4/1/2013 - 17:57 ***
Solved kernel problems. Now there are complications in the ROM. The system does not start despite loads all the drivers. He stands on the bootanimation with frame drops and brightness that goes from low to maximum. Adb works. MTP drivers are detected but not loading.
*** 2/1/2013 - 18:53 ***
Kernel need some changes, in cyanogenmod_hammerhead_defconfig first:
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_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT=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_SWAP=y
# CONFIG_ANDROID_PARANOID_NETWORK is not set
CONFIG_VT=y
CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE=y
and AppArmor second.

Ubuntu touch has the official support for only Nexus 4 right?
In the wiki they have mentioned as other nexus devices should work *theoretically*

Can you post a logcat or dmesg while the system is booting?

Theoretically! It not boot because I have some trouble to repack kernel and create android-ramdisk.img for hammerhead. If you have some ideas for that, you are welcome.

Will Dual-Boot Android / Ubuntu be possible?
Off-Topic: I searched but find nothing. Is there already a project porting FirefoxOS?

Thanks OP! Go ahead and good luck with your porting and development. We will then have some more choice on using OS for our Nexus 5.

Holy crap! I'm totally watching the progress of this project! I'll gladly help alpha/beta test! Eagerly awaiting a download and install tutorial!
Also, I totally recommend heading on over to the #ubuntu-touch iRC channel if you're having any issues or experiencing roadblocks, as you seem to be at the moment. I'm not a developer. I'm just a mere enthusiast... but I'll do what I can to help make this UT ROM the best it can be. My hope would be that Cannonical themselves will bring out/release something at/before CES this year... but OP if you can add something into your version that the official one won't have, then that'd be awesome... like maybe KDE Plasma Active for the UI instead of Unity... I can dream right?

Update:
Completed kernel parts. Miss AppArmor. After the repack of the kernel, if Ubuntu boot, I'll work on AppArmor. If you have suggestions, you're welcome.

Can not wait for first alpha

Watching this project closely. With the specs of N5 and if this pulls off it would be a pretty amazing (read: fast) Ubuntu port to N5.
EDIT: if you need a tester I could help, just not with the coding stuff xD

Update 2
Update:
Kernel problems solved. Now there are complications in the ROM. The system doesn't start despite loads all the drivers. He stands on the bootanimation with frame drops and brightness that goes from low to maximum.

I can be a tester, too.
I'm really looking forward to a funktional Ubuntu touch on my N5...
So.... Good luck...
Greetz, Echse...
Nexus 5 rocks!...

[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! )

For now, this is only for the new bootloader. If the project is successful, it would be made available on the old one as well

To do:
There is no "logcat" in Ubuntu (may be some other way to debug), so need another way to look at what is preventing the boot

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

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

[RECOVERY] [UNOFFICIAL] CWM 6.0.3.0 TOUCH BASED RECOVERY fully working NO REBOOT BUG

Welcome happy campers
Here is a fully working pretty much fully tested port of Clockwork Mod Recovery 6.0.3.0
Big thanks to UTKANOS at #cyanogenmod irc channel for his help in building this for me to test till everything was working
FEATURES
All features in 6.0.3.0 based CWM recoveries are implemented
Touch screen working
Restore/Backup functions
All wipe functions
All Mount functions
Install from sd and Internal storage
Generally all features you expect from working ClockWorkMod recovery
without further ado here is the link to the recovery image: http://d-h.st/nMv
md5 Checksum : 8f7dda170425218f47717a9c9c931bea
source code at utkanos' github: https://github.com/utkanos/android_device_htc_golfu
Thanks goes out to mmmcfc for his initial work on the recovery we worked on to bring you this version, his original thread at :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1785010
to install recovery is same as always for people who already know
for those of you who are new to this and do not know but are at the point of installing a custom recovery through a rom install guide please simply turn off your Desire C device, drop out the battery just in case fastboot is on in your rom settings, replace your battery then hold the volume down key and hold power button till you boot to bootloader.
Ensure phone is on fastboot setting (will have fastboot written in red if you are) plug in the usb cable and it should say fastboot usb now then enter this command from terminal window that is in the directory where you have this image downloaded to
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.0-golfu.img
with any joy you should now be able to reap the benefits of touch screen enabled up to date CWM recovery
enjoy
p.s. if you have issues installing this or do not know what our doing either do not install OR search the forums for root guide and recovery install guides and if you cannot find something relevant feel free to pm me
dont forget to come to our irc channel at irc.freenode.net ##HTCDesireCcm9 (dont forget to put two hash signs not one) we are friendly in the channel and are hoping it will begin to grow alongside development for the device
thanks
soon to come wifi fix for CM9, hopefully soon CM10 build and with all the fixes no doubt many custom roms from many users throughout our device section

Not totally sure dude about your question as this was actually built by utkanos with no device with me and russell testing the builds as they were made till we had it working with no reboots and with fully accessing adb rights when in recovery. i had massive issues when using th TWRP recovery that was posted so it may be TWRP specific that your issues lie. the source code is all available at utkanos github linked in the OP so you can surely tell from that if device tree is correct. if not maybe try to rebuild the trees. i myself have little experience in these matter XD

your welcome, cant believe there wasnt one for so long, i only got the device around a month ago and found the xda development section lacking in a few areas im not used to seeing and so worked with a cm dev on getting the recovery up to date and stable
any thanks you guys want to click my way are welcomed and would be nice, amazing that over in my general section post to this thread there is a total of maybe 3 thanks per nearly 2,500 visitors to the link
now thats appreciation for ya
Just one question, am i blind, or this one has no clean battery stats?
Is it really needed, and is there a workaround (which file to delete)?

You are a great man, and your work is very appreciated. You have my thanks and I'll try to add as many thanks to you as I can.
I've shot you a few thanks as it's a damn fine cause, even if I strongly dislike cwm. I am afraid I am a Twerp through and through.
Ps I will try and get some extra thanks to you Redhunter as you are such a generous guy with your thanks and you always are upbeat and positive. It's good to see, thank you.

Depends on the attack. It is mostly terminal based, but the utilities have a nice "UI". There are a couple apps that actually have a native Android UI.
Oh, some apps I recommend downloading: dSploit and Network Spoofer. They have some nice native android UIs!
Cool sounds great! I've done penetration tests on Ubuntu setup.. But I think it will be really cool to do this with my Nexus soon! Thanks again, I will return with some feedback after I get my last hardware peripheral to complete the setup.

I have gone over my Dropbox bandwidth limit, so I cannot host the files! If anybody knows of a file sharing service that allows direct links, let me know!!
I seem to have found a solution to my hosting issues! I shall push the updated script soon!
I was going to mention Google drive? Please do post your update.. I'm still waiting on the USB otg with the ability to power the WiFi adapter to get this project running. I just wish there was a simpler way, like just flashing it like a regular custom ROM and kernel.

There is someone who offered to host the files with a couple TB of bandwidth, so I'm looking into that... If not, I have a backup plan! The backup plan isn't very high speed unfortunately.
EDIT: I have been having issues with Google Drive's direct downloads. I'm not sure if curl doesn't like them or what...
EDIT 2: I am looking into making it into just one big flashable zip. I have a computer that I can have automatically build and update zips, but I need to learn how to combine zips in a script and stuff first...
So this would mean you could flash it like a custom ROM with no need of using a Linux PC? If so, that would be freaking awesome! ?
Maybe one of the devs could help you out?

Yup! Like I said though... I need to fix the file hosting, then make the all-in-one zips!
Good luck I'm really anticipated! ?

How is the progress going? @photonicgeek
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
am i wrong. it will install multiboot then installs kali and the previous rom ?
I'm not sure.. That is why I would love to see this as a normal ROM to flash inside multirom so I can convert to F2FS as well and just boot into it when I want to use it, yet still use my daily driver.. Although, if this ROM runs fairly smooth and I can use mkernel on it I would just consider it as my daily driver.. I'm still waiting for my OTG USB with power to give this a shot.. It should be here in a few days.

[DEV][GUIDE] Upgrading your Rom to 4.4.2 Sources

I have been getting a few PM's for help with upgrading to a 4.4.2 device base. I would like to share what I think is the most efficient way to upgrade to 4.4.2 sources with the least issues. This is the method I use on my Mahdi Rom. I see devs with issues stopping them from going to full 4.4.2 device/kernel/vendor trees and I would like to help get some more roms updated. If most roms follow the same methods we can also have custom kernels again.
4.4 device tree: Heavily modified from our 4.2 CM device tree. I also fixed some RIL issues that would stop the new RIL from working in some roms.
4.4 vendor tree: Completely remade using hammerhead as the base for the best aosp compatibility. Only added necessary blobs to run our hardware. The old vendor tree had way too many added files that didn't need to be used as prebuilts. Added missing files that should be present in kitkat. Sprint camera is currently broken and hopefully a LS980 dev can figure it out (Believe this to be vendor related)
4.4 kernel - clean branch : Only added the commits required for the rom to function normally, specials thanks to rmcc (original author of ril, vibration, bt fixes in my kernel tree) and jackpotclavin for a lot of the original AOSP fixes and many things on the G2 tree. On the 4.4.2 tree I was unable to get call echo fixed and we had other strange audio bugs everywhere due to reliance on the stock rom and taiko file. I decided to replace all the vendor / kernel audio drivers with Nexus 5 wcd9320 drivers and use custom mixers and audio has been working perfectly so far. (All this is already in the links I posted)
Other requirements
This commit must be added to display-caf
Qcom common folder
CM media repo
If anyone needs help with issues updating a rom post here and I will try to help.
Of course, I'm no developer, but I just wanted to say thanks for all your help for the developing community DR87...As an avid ROM flasher, I am very excited at seeing the prospect of more roms being updated to use with 24A
thnx @dr87 from all of G2 community .
hmmmm ...
looks like some goodies are coming for my vs980 buddies
Time to get back to work ....
Hey people don't leave us Sprint G2 users behind.
Looking forward to a unified kernel for G2.
Also if in some way compatibility for jdi and lgd display panels could be found to co-exist in the same kernel it would be much easier for the kernel devs to put out their stuff in fewer kernel variants.
Just a thought.
You're a nice guy @dr87 for sharing to the other Devs.

Thanks dr87. I've been meaning to hit you up on hangouts, but I've been so busy with work lately. This will definitely help.
Anyone working on this with aospa sources? I am having media issues.

Thank you so much for posting this, I am one of those PMers who were begging for the mighty wisdom of the doctor. :laugh:
If any of the other devs/maintainers would like a Hangout, I think that might be a great idea, I would be all for joining/creating it.

Hah nice :good:
Anyone who forked the vendor repo should sync with me again, when I added the rest of the vendor folders I forgot to sort out the device filters which would cause some duplicate errors
hi dr87 this awesome thread is on the PORTAL...
~ups my bad, someone already told you...
thanks for this useful tree you made
I love your mahdi rom :good:
Just wanted to jump in here and say I appreciate all the work you guys are putting in.. I couldn't develop a wet paper bag but if any of you want a tester or somebody to chop it up with I'm your guy hit me up on hangouts [email protected]

@dr87, we seem to be having an issue with HD video with the new sources, any thoughts? Also if you want to join our group, there are about 7 of us in there now.
Thanks again for your hard work and huge thanks for sharing. :victory:
I've got slim booting on d800 and everything is working except for a few things I forgot to add overlays for. HD video is working fine on slim.

[DEV][G925F] CyanogenMod 12.1 Development

Hello there, it's time to get this rolling somewhere.
This is a Development-Thread. Please don't post if you aren't a developer.
What this IS
This is a Development thread, a platform for developers to discuss the development of CyanogenMod for the G925F. It's made so that we can get this working, fix up the problems - because there will be severe ones - and achieve a working official Rom at some point.
At the moment it's @OldDroid and me with help, but it would be awesome if interested devs would join in so that we can make this a team effort.
In short, it's a Dev-Thread in a dev section.
Right now it doesn't work and I'm not sure that it will work.
What this IS NOT
This is NOT a working Rom. Not even close. I can only link you to the kernel repo and soon to device and vendor, as they are almost completed for a first try.
And yes, there is no download link for the Rom. Because there isn't anything you could download yet.
This is also NOT intended as a Q&A thread. Please don't ask if your variant will be supported, I will respond by trolling. Firstand only priority is to get this running, then we'll talk about variants.
And ETA is an evil word with no meaning here. I work slowly, deal with it
Where are we currently?
Much further than a day ago
Thanks to @OldDroid, we've teamed up
All the links you want (minus the download link :angel
device: (soon, almost complete)

It's apparently not without some minor casualties, but we got it. Huge thanks to @RaymanFX, he's helping me, since I'm not that much into CM building yet and I'm also basing this project on his CM for the N910C, which's 5433 is darn similar to our 7420, so we got a pretty good base to begin with.
add me as participant to the repos ^^

Looks like I killed Bluetooth for now (lol). Other than that it's slow but steady progress.

What do you mean "killed"? Killed the chip or wiped the MAC addr. or something?

I'm currently building the Rom with completely removed Bluetooth support
First Build is compiled and ready for a test.. But I can't install the zip. This would be hillarious if it wasn't so annoying

I think that there was a mistake in the partition sizes.. /system was declared as 4.1GB, but it's only 3.6GB. Recompiling with a new value, should be able to flash it then
Good luck develop without documentation for exynos chipset.
But can you tell us more in details how porting works and what are the challenges with it.
Is it hard to develop a rom without samsung binary files and drivers? I know they are proprietary and closed soruce.
If just Samsung could be more developer friendly like Sony.
We can request source for closed binaries here, http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=inquiryView, most likely they wont answer

The lack of drivers makes this a fun exercise almost Where's be the challenge if everything was easy...?

I can't say what the challenges here will be, since I couldn't manage to even flash it yet - Second build is compiling since hours now. For now it's using all the proprietrary stuff we managed to grab and some additional stuff from the 5433 CM. But without booting it's hard to tell what won't work and might present a challenge ^^ From what I saw it'll be tough to just get the modem running. The hard part is to write the drivers yourself

It's interesting that you can use drivers from 5433, which is a 32bit platform. Most drivers are not compatible when you switch from 32bit to 64bit if I am right?

As a base to know how to do it, obviously we can't just use drivers for a different chipset
Updated the /system size in the BoardConfig and at least it flashes. But it doesn't want to boot for some reason yet.

If you have the 5.1.1 boot loader and are using 5.0.2 as a base. Sboot will not boot it. As a fyi. It checks Linux versions.

Both is 5.1.1 and Sboot seems to clear the boot as well, everything seems to go fine, it just doesn't boot. :/ Trying with building the kernel during the build itself instead of using a prebuilt one and see how that goes

I would personally flash an Engineering boot loader while doing this, to ensure version checking is not the issue.
