[Dev] Ubuntu touch for 10.1v

With the advice of pruano I've started this tread to get some possible development of Ubuntu touch for our device going.
I've found out that Ubuntu touch is an chroot of CM10.1
and came acros a port guide.
i'm willing to give it a chance but have no experience.
maybe with the help of devs we an get it running.

I believe this is the link:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Porting
I already downloaded the repo and compiled an image but had no success running it.
Device boots but screen is black and I have no adb connection so don't know what's going on.
I need some help to debug the system in this state (logging to a file if it does even boot).
Does anyone know how to do this logging (kernel messages I believe).
Also, can I use the prebuilt kernel for Ubuntu, or I need to compile it from source?
Thanks!

Well okay, found answer to most of my questions.
Will do some testing when I have time.

I managed to boot Ubuntu Touch. :victory:
It is looking good and is a bit laggy but usable.
Currently wifi is not working and ubuntu has to be started manually from adb.
Trying to make more progress tomorrow.
Here's a screenshot for now

If you develop it wil you please also make a version for the p7500 aka galaxy tab 10.1. pretty please . i will test it if you do

cool! can't wait to see what else you got! looking good and as soon as you have something stable enough for us to test out,let us know! I'll even make a video about it!

Im anxious for this to happen ive been diggin for the past few days tryin to figure out how to get ubuntu on my T530 i really hope xda puts it together

Enable WiFi
Create a script which will be run on boot and load the wifi module:
touch /data/local/userinit.sh
insert the following in userinit.sh:
#!/bin/bash
insmod /system/lib/modules/dhd.ko firmware_path=/system/etc/wifi/bcmdhd_sta.bin nvram_path=/system/etc/wifi/nvram_net.txt
make the script executable:
chmod +x /data/local/userinit.sh

Android AOSP 4.3 Compiled for Xperia Z

Since everyone always loves MOAR VERSION NUMBAH...
Android 4.3 for the Xperia Z. With a BIG shout out to Sony Mobile for hosting their own git repository for their deviceshttps://github.com/sonyxperiadev/device-sony-c6603.
This is compiled from AOSP, and has nothing done beyond that. Simply added the Sony repo to Android 4.3 AOSP, and built. As per the Sony AOSP releases, this does not have functional Radio (no phone calls or SMS!!!) or indeed any connectivity.
Working:
Wifi
Not Working:
Mobile network
Bluetooth
I will not tell you how to make mobile network work, but it is not difficult and just involves some binary blobs from memory... Sony don't have the right to distribute those officially, so I won't do it either
In light of this not being a working build, I will not post it as a zip, but as fastboot flashable images. Unlocked bootloader only. C6603 was used to test, other models entirely at your risk (ie. don't bother).
Links:
All files needed are in
http://goo.im/devs/pulser/XperiaZ/4.3AOSP
and will appear there shortly (upload done, it's still propogating)
Feel free to mirror, share, modify, edit, tweak, fix, etc etc etc. I am not like certain individuals who go ZOMG NO MIRRORS PLEASE... Go on, mirror, make a torrent if you want, and share it if anyone actually cares about this It's really not that good, but hey...
Top secret information:
Yes, you are also permitted to use this... Yes... that's right, you can use it!
To install:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
(optionally, I did it, shouldn't be needed)
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
Build instructions to replicate :
Get android 4.3 sources.
Get sony c6603 information on repositories and add to local_manifests for 4.3
Get latest v3 blobs for phone and tablet Z
Put them into vendor/sony/
Repo sync
Make

You sir are 1 step ahead of me. Thanks man. Is it ok if i can use these?

You are also missing the Camera and getting RIL to work requires more than dropping in some blobs.
I already merged 4.3 in my repo: https://github.com/adrian-bl-yuga

Yeah, camera blobs are not "officially" made available by sony.
I had just spotted your repo actually and was going to see if it had the RIL etc

So glad I ditched Samsung for Sony :beer:

Congrats on the first non-nexus release of 4.3 I do not have this device but would like to congratulate you

Nicely done! I am happy i bought this device!

No thanks, got plenty of devices, and I have the N7100 (Note 2), which is very similar in hardware to the S3. Exynos is nothing like as easy to do this to, that's why Sony devices are first!
Honestly, it was easier to get this booting on my Z phone and Z tablet, than it was on a Nexus 10 (an official Nexus device!)

FYI: I uploaded my first 4.3 based build:

I got all hardware working, there are only some minor issues (no 4.3 gapps (using a patched 4.2) and the AOSP voice dialer is hanging (known aosp bug on BT devices).

Nice to see! You are aware you should be able to make a new GApps package from the factory images? I don't use GApps though, so I haven't done it. But it should be easy enough to do.

I had to see, the recovery is not accessible .... this risk is all the same and no current mod will work with this rom, I'll wait another is, I think,
but thank you for your great job :good: !

In light of there being a supported/maintained 4.3 AOSP for Xperia Z, consider this discontinued.
Indeed, @pabx 's ROM makes the Xperia Z pretty much Nexus standard, in terms of the hardware support. Most impressive from Sony! As such I will close this thread now.

Mad idea : Port Xperia Z2 firmware to Nexus 5

Hey guys !
For my part, i love Sony Xperia UI. So, what do you think about porting it ?
I found this rom : Xperia Z2 stock, Zipaligned and Deodexed, and rooted.
I open this thread, so we can chat about this. I'm not the best guy to mod kernel, so any help is very apreciated.
I know Lollipop is released few days ago and you're still in love on it
Cheers
Good night, and good luck

while the idea of a nexus running the finest OEM UI on the market does intrigue me,
The thought of this thread turning into a troll fest and off topic discussion is screaming in my face.
I am going to allow this thread on the basis that it is a thread for the development work of porting Sony UI to the phone.
If I find unneeded posts or off topic chit-chat this thread will be closed. I have subscribed to this thread for observations

You're right. Link fixed to OP

I think the most difficult thing is porting the UI, because other things only require to copy the apk, for example the launcher, sony apps...
Sony widgets only work with sony launcher at least on my old xperia arc. Good luck

We've been through this before, people have tried porting ROM's from other devices and it's always been a dead end. Proprietary libs will always be the one road block unless we know any devs with exceptional knowledge in decompiling and patching libs. Don't want to be a downer but that's the truth

No. The apk copy is useless if you dont copy the entire framework folder with apk's. For my part, i started, and can't see the bootanimation. The phone reboots.

Know that. Porting is hardcore. For now, i didn't obtained anything nice.

Have some news :
Flashed a Xperia Z2 kernel to my phone (Attempting to get working my port as secondary rom) on Multirom.
After it, flashed Uber kernel. Now, the phone still stuck to Google logo, but 5 seconds after, i've got a little vibration. I remember my old Xperia X10 did a vibration when it boots, indicating you can access the recovery pressing back button.
If somebody has skills on editing kernel, and want to contribute to this project, thanks to contact me.

That's dangerous mate, you're lucky you didn't brick your phone as the Z2 has different mount points

That little vibration was most likely the boot loop recycling after the boot failed. My S3 would do that too when stuck in a boot loop

I think so.. 10 seconds after that, it reboots. I'm sure the reboot loop it's related to kernel. I think i must contact somebody to help me with the kernel.

Yes i think i can yes ! Look here
Launched repo init -u ... android-4.4.4_r2 branch of AOSP. once repo init finished, downloaded it and unziped to root of my android source tree. Created .repo/local_manifests/shinano.xml like Sony says, and now running repo sync. After, will build, but for hammerhead. Hope it will work

That is only for AOSP. Sony releases the bits and pieces for their devices. This is going to only get you an aosp build, nothing more.
The got repo you listed is only the device information for building. It is not going to net you anything.

Are you sure ? repo sync already has downloaded 35Go.. and no i don't think it's normal.

Very much so. And 35GB is normal for a repo sync. I believe my sync for 5.0 was like 40GB.
But back to your question. Just look at the files that are in the bits you linked. Sony's OEM skin and enhancements are not open source. Most OEMs release source for the modified items related to the kernel, and some software. Sony is rare in that they actually release enough to build an actual aosp build. The files you are using are going to net you nothing more than an AOSP build.

[WIP] KERNEL Huawei Y6 for Android 7

Hey community.
We started to work at a android 7 kernel for the Huawei Y6 today.
This is a really early state and there is a lot of stuff that needs to be merged.
It is based at the latest msm8909 codaurora source for android 7.
Every help is welcome.
Follow us at: https://github.com/Runner85sx/android_kernel_huawei_msm8909/tree/cm-14.0
Maybe you could add requests that could be merged too.
Have a nice day.
EDIT: DISCONTINUED for now.

Wow, nice to see this is slowly/fast becoming reality!

So, did Huawei answer your mail? :d

No they did not. The last stand is that they won't release the source. So i started to use a new caf msm8909 kernel and started to add all the huawei stuff manually.
EDIT 2: I started to find all files and entries with huawei_ and hw_ inside the working cm12.1 kernel and started to add them to the android 7 kernel. It is a lot of copy and paste and also a lot of text editing.
EDIT 3: It seems to be easier to add the missing content from android 7 to a working huawei kernel.
But i need a break for some time. I had an accident so i first need my health back.

The sources are all there, sadly I have no time rn.
In the spirit of this being a development forum, I'd be glad if someone picked up the work.
I have also collected a lot of info on how sailfish's build system works at sx.ix5.org/foresail, and you can always ask in #sailfishos-porters on IRC - it takes a while to get an answer, but they're nice folks, mostly.

I definitely would love to use sfos as my daily driver
Its a shame that it almost got no interest in here and the lack of android support is the thing thats holding me down.
Since im not into building and stuff (mainly cause of dont have decent hardware&connection combo rn) i cant really help but if you work on sfos anytime soon feel free to let me know.

Innovative gui, especially like these sensible gestures instead of typical navigation bar.
Howto install usualAndroid applications there? Tried to download total commander from direct download link on http://ghisler.com but after downloading apk sailfish says "unknown file type, impossible to open"

Unfortunely the android support on sfos is not open source, that means you cant really get it working on community ports afaik.

It's so pitty, this sfos gui is made by an artist! It's so nice and sensible!
Any chance to port it to usual Android e.g. as a installable launcher app?

I'v tried the steps on my xperia xz, but when i reboot the phone stuck on the logo "Sony",
After all i'll retest it again.

I also tried it.
Can confirm it stuck on the sony logo with notification light turns white.

Is there a possibility to install dalvik to run Android Apps? XA2 license will work? Thanks.
Edit: sorry, you can delete this comment.

I don't understand
Can you give me specific instructions for this step?
Then run these commands manually in the device’s recovery, e.g. TWRP:
rm -rf /data/.stowaways/sailfishos/
mkdir -p /data/.stowaways/sailfishos
tar --numeric-owner \
-xvjf /sdcard/sfe-f8331-3.0.1.11-heroic.tar.bz2 \
-C /data/.stowaways/sailfishos
rm /sdcard/sfe-f8331-3.0.1.11-heroic.tar.bz2

@local__hero ,
Hi there,
I am interested in converting my phone to SailFish OS too......
Please see the attached photos on my phone info......
How do i convert to SailFish OS ?
My phone is Singapore variant
