It is now in the app market. I am still looking for a developer to make the process more automated. Also working on a version 2.0 which will be a free update to existing users though my top priority to is to find a developer to help make this as easy of an install as possible... Looking to further optimize performance and increase user friendliness.
Tested and confirmed working on:
Acer iconia a 500
Dell Streak
Motorola Xoom
Atrix
Incite
Galaxy Tab
Galaxy S (At&T)
Asus transformer
(Thank you to my secret buddy at my favorite electronic store for letting me root, test and install on some of your display models hehehehehehe)

It is probably already booted. If you are still seeing a blue screen you have missed a key step (but your doing great if you are this far!)...You need to open AndroidVNC viewer (or your favorite vnc viewer) and configure it as directed in the directions. Address is Localhost, port is 5900, password is ubuntu. Then select the connect button and you will be off to the races! Did you install busy box yet? Just make sure to read the directions, I got hung up there in the beginning also until I went back and read it again.
So in the terminal after typing:
su
cd /sdcard/ubuntu
sh ubuntu.sh
Now press the home button and open and configure the VNC viewer. You only need to configure it once. After that it will remember everything and you can just open it and press connect.
yeah it had booted even though it said "this can take some time..."
thanks its all working now
i never overclocked as my streak wont work with setcpu
but gimp still opens up quite fast
thanks again

No problem. You can change the screen resolution to fit perfect to your streak if you open the file manager in ubuntu and go to root/init.sh and open that with leafpad or gedit and change the resolution to 800x480. Overclocking it makes it insanely quick. I can open openoffice in under 5 seconds. Also if you run the update manager you can update to 11.04 no problems though it takes about 8 hours lol.

800x480 is better but i could not use it all the time but its ok to mess about with

I agree but it is blast. I wish I could TV out to a TV or monitor and use the phone screen as a mouse pad. I will keep dreaming though
officially impressed. As soon as I gather some spare time I must try this.
Can you elaborate on the Terminal Emulator? Suggest a good free one perhaps?
For the rest of you tightwads (like me) OverclockWidget seems to be working okay for me.

Yes gladly, the best one in my opinion is free from the market. It is called "Android Terminal Emulator" made by Jack Palevich. If you search Terminal Emulator with the search function in the market it is in the first few results.
Impressive,
I was using Ubuntu for a while and now im very impressed with the work of bringing ubuntu to mu Mighty Streak. But there something i'd like to be clear before i go ahead.
1. As far as i know, this Ubuntu will be run on Vnc environment under Android OS, am i correct?
2. If 1 is a Yes, that means that i can back to Android at anytime to make fone call, text, ect...
3. If 1 is a No, so how Ubuntu works? And how can i do 2?
4. How long did the battery last?
Thi is it. Will ask you more if any.
Thanks buddy.

1. Yes it is.
2. Yes, you can toggle between the two. If you get a call it will overtake your ubuntu session, sort of like when you are browsing the web or really in any app and get a call.
4. I leave my ubuntu session up and running all the time, phone overclocked to 1.27 ghz and with heavy I mean HEAVY use I get about 10-12 hours of use. If I am being a normal person and not face palanted in my phone it lasts a whole day. With setcpu you can do quite a few neat things like underclock the phone when the screen is off and of course if you are using wireless rather than 3g that always helps almost double the battery life for data usage is concerned.
Also to help with battery I am using a solid black wallpaper. Not sure if it helps a bunch but it takes less to keep the screen lit, in Ubuntu and on my phone.
If you have any more questions I will do my best to answer. If you get stuck at any point and need help feel free to pm me and I will do my best to help.

I'm stuck at trying to download and extract the ubuntu files. I downloaded the first one in the list but I can't figure out how to extract it.
I have toasted one computer trying to run ubuntu, so I really want to do this right.

No problem.
1. Download all of the files (you need all of the files in order to extract the first one, otherwise it wont work)
2. Make sure you have 7zip or alzip or really any zip tool installed on your computer
3. The first ubuntu zip (ubuntu.zip.001) is the one you need to extract. So right click the file and choose the option "extract to /ubuntu" under 7-zip or which ever tool you are using to extract. It will create a folder with all of the files you need called Ubuntu. You just move that folder to your sd card. The file is broken into 4 parts which I am guessing is due to a file size restriction with the file hosting company used. So once you extract the first ubuntu zip you have everything you need, it's just confusing because it seems like you need to extract all four. I hope that helps.
you got any mediafire links? 'cause it's a pain-in-the-ass while downloading from Megaupload in my country. Cannot download 2Gb with 3Kb/s....

Sadly no... sorry.
Okay, I have the files extracted and placed on the SD card.
New problem.
I am running 1.2 of the new superclean version.
I have done the factory reset and cleared the dalvik cache.
I even went as far as to format the SD card prior to installing the new OS.
There are perhaps 12 programs in my downloaded apps list and half of those are actually updates of previously installed apps.
In Application Manager there are zero applications listed under the SDcard tab.
I'm getting a message that I need to move some of my apps off of the SD card because there are too many to establish a "loop" for Ubuntu to run in.
Any ideas?
Could you write something about performance of ubuntu? its take long time to load system and apps , freezes? and how to comeback from ubuntu to android? restart phone?

Apparently I installed something for free without thinking ... NOTHING IS FREE and now I am getting little banners here and there .. I was going to reset my Streak to BRAND NEW and start all over but I am afraid I won't be able to find my way back to installing "swype."
Is there a way to find out which app is putting the banners on my streak ?
What ever the ad is, it started T-Mobile billing me a $10 per month membership to something .. I don't know what, but they canceled it for me ..
I was thinking .. . A good thread or sub-category to add would be applications that attack your android.

root your phone and install adfree from the market. problem solved.
just wipe the phone, its quicker than fannying about trying to find out what happen. never install programs that look iffy. basically this comes from experience. troll the market and get to know the market trends. but really if you want to install free apps and believe me there are some fantastic free apps, just root your device and install the adfree program and you will never see them again

If starting from scratch is what I have to do to get rid of these annoyances, then I may as well root it first. BUT ...
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha ... I HAVE NO CLUE HOW TO DO THAT!! Even thinking about doing it scares me. I am such a coward. I visualize myself holding the "brick" and saying out loud to nobody .. "NOW WHAT?"
I remember opening FULL windows mobile on my first HTC Shift. I printed out the instructions and highlighted each step as I completed it. You would think I was doing brain surgery.

Yep it is scary Diane but very easy,well i thought so anyway go here
http://android.modaco.com/content/d...-4399-how-to-root-your-dell-streak-superboot/
Read how to do it first but basically download the super boot,,,Put your device in boot loader mode,,Unplug the device from your PC,,, remove the device battery,,, then replace it and turn device on with the camera button pressed. Select the 'fast boot' text on the top right, wait around 10 seconds then plug the device into your PC. The screen display should change to 'FAST BOOT MODE'. If it doesn't, repeat and retry,,,if you are using WINDOWS - double click 'install-super boot-windows.bat'
Wait for it to Finnish and viola
A couple of programs you will need as well are Root Explorer and a good file explorer i use ES File Explorer both can be found in market place free
Hope that has helped you any probs shout some one will come running and good luck
agreed. very easy to root. one of the easiest devices infact. ive rooted G1/desire/nexus one/G2/droid/x10 and the streak was the easiest of them all. it is pretty much:
place item on sd card>flash>profit
Well .. maybe I will give it a try tonight or later. Android is so new to me I don't even know how to sync anything .. not my contacts or anything. I need the book, Android for Dummies I think. I have been a WinMo person since the beginning of time .. I guess that was WinCE... Hope I can find my SWYPE download email .. I cannot do without swype .. besides being an android virgin, that is the one thing keeping me from taking the rooting-step.
I will come back at noon .. gotta figure out how to get the 'stuff' on to my card. but for now I should get in the shower. Should have been at the office 30 minutes ago.

Either/ or
Easiest way is to go through your streak browser, as its pretty much automatic, I'm not sure if that way wipes your streak, but it may do.
If you download on desktop pc then copy to sdcard, you'll need to rename it to update.pkg and boot into recovery mode (press both volume buttons at the same time as turning the streak on). Then follow the onscreen instructions
This won't give you root but should give you the latest software... Be aware it will wipe your device, (not the sdcard) so make sure your contacts and anything you may have saved on internal memory)etc are synched
I am gonna give it a go .. Nothing much to lose on the Streak and if worse comes to worse .. I will have an excuse to go back to my iPhone. Still .. Fingers crossed.
1st problem. At first I was going to download the file in my browser but changed my mind .. Can't get it to stop .. I have even taken out the battery and restarted. My streak is determined to download that file no matter what.
I am going to just let it carry on. I don't have the Streak connected to wi-fi so this is going to be timely . . but it is just a waste of time because ..
I tried the doing the update by installing it on my sd card .. All seemed to be going well .. then I got this message. "fota model name mismatch system will reboot in 30 seconds ... "
AND SO .. NOTHING NEW .. NO CHANGES ..
The download finished and I clicked to install etc .. Got the same error .. and it wouldn't install.

Has anyone figured out how to get the droid eris to work with app inventor? From what I've heard everyone's having a lot of trouble with it. I'm on a mac, btw, and I've been mounting the phone as a disk drive with no success.
I just sent my request for an invite yesterday, so obviously have not heard back yet. I don't think there are many that have gotten theirs yet either... Just for fun, I did install the appinventor-extras and it did recognize my phone, so I hope that's a good start. Running Windows 7 32bit.
Do you have a Droid Eris as well? And yah, I think it has something to do with running it on a mac because it isn't compatible with HTC Sync which contains most of the drivers I need.
Have an Eris but do not have Sync set up. Already had adb installed so probably just used the the ones that were already added in.
When I get my invite I will get it to work with the Droid Eris. Btw, if you're on a mac, ubuntu works really well dual booted, if thats your thing.
Does anyone know the extent of apps that you can make with this thing? Like, how complicated are we going to be able to get? I'd love to make a mashup of my favorite home replacements...

Yah, it's surprisingly in depth actually. So far, I've noticed there's a function which can force a text, an "activity starter" (which allows you to open apps on the phone), and basic textbox and image components, to name a few.
just got my invite about an hour and a half ago and I still cant get my phone to connect to app inventor... I tried using the custom .inf and that didnt work. it wouldnt even recognize it. i am going to use the emulator for now.
if anyone finds a working driver please upload it.
I have a question to anyone who has access to app inventor. Does anyone else's phone reboot when loading an app onto it? Also in google chrome every time I open the blocks editor it makes me download a new jar file.
AcidRoot, It's normal to download the file everytime. And I don't have problems with my Eris rebooting, but mine doesn't work with AppInventor (I was invited).
ANNOUNCING PERMA-TEMP ROOT + HULU FIX!!!!
I've taken the excellent existing information from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1159354 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=688054&page=46
See the first link for instructions, etc. Basically just plug your phone into your PC, make sure USB debugging is on, using your phone as charge only, and that HTC Sync isn't running. Then open up the attached zip and run Run_ME_Fr3vo_ROOT + HULU FIX. OH, and I'm not sure if it matters, but have the latest Adobe Flash player installed on your phone before you start (10.3.185.25)
That's it! Your phone should be rooted AND HULU-ready until you reboot.
WHAT I DID: All I did was add a few commands that will delete your lib file from com.adobe.flashplayer, then install a different .lib file with correct permissions. Now, when you go browse Hulu with your stock browser or Dolphin (making sure your settings are set to disable mobile browsing, or set as DESKTOP VIEW, etc), Hulu won't recognize your phone as non-desktop, and you'll be free to watch Hulu all you want!
[Please note: this is my first time doing anything like this, as in first time ever creating a .bat file or doing anything with adb beyond the very basics; please bear that in mind when ripping me apart for being a noob ]
If this was helpful, please let me know with a thanks!
EDIT: Thanks to abe_ahmed09 for reminding me this works with stock browser too!

Glad it's working! I'll add emphasis to the fact that you need the latest version of flash for it to work.
Here's a question: are there any other programs out there that have to be tweaked AFTER root in order to work? What I mean is, right now I've got 10 or 20 root apps that work flawlessly after I root. But if there are good apps out there that require additional tweaking after root, perhaps we could incorporate that into the .bat as well

Oh hell no! Just use the free Dolphin Browser from the market, then go to settings and choose "Desktop" so that websites think you're browsing from a PC/Mac. When you get to HULU, depending on your settings, you may need to click the green arrow to watch the video.
Works in Full Screen too!!
...of course, if you're talking about Hulu-plus-only videos---then yes, you'd of course need Plus to view those videos just as you would elsewhere.
EDIT: Reading over your comment again I guess I need to clarify further: nothing here is "ad supported" because there are no apps, etc that I've provided. ALL MY HULU FIX DOES IS SWAP OUT A FILE IN YOUR ADOBE APP FOLDER THAT TRICKS HULU INTO THINKING YOU'RE A COMPUTER. But note that you'll still need a BROWSER that enables you to browse like a computer.
Were these points unclear to anyone else?

So just to be safe I rebooted my phone, to lose root, and ran your .bat script. After i ran the script I opened up terminal and type in "su" and is said permission denied. So I didnt have root, i ended up using one of the other .bat script from the forums and running your .bat script after. Everything worked like a charm after that thanks for putting this together. =] Great job

Awesome, Great to hear it! Ya, not sure why the root method in my OP isn't working for you...different people have posted different results with the same root method! Anyway glad it's working, and as you discovered, there should be no problem running this on a rooted phone
Now I've tweaked it further so it'll overclock your phone to 1.8 GHz! I might make a new thread for that...
Root is working but hulu does show up and starts to play then I get a message telling me its not supported on this platform. I updated flash and mobile mode has been disabled.

Just wanted to let you guys know that Ubuntu runs great on the Note.
I used Ubuntu Installer Pro to fetch the script and Ubuntu image. (on the market)
It runs in androidVNC, but it's still very responsive and fully functional.
Attached a screenshot of Firefox running it.
this is awesome! i'll try it as soon as i get home!
I am a super noob so can you please answer a few questions for me.
Are you running it through a remote desktop?
Or is this a complete operating system running on the phone?
Thank you in advance!

It's weird. It runs within Android, locally on the phone. This means you can tap the home button and go right back to Android.
With this image. You can set the resolution of the screen to 1280x800 rather than getting a custom image for that size.
You also have access to SD and external SD from within Ubuntu.
If you're not using a keyboard + mouse, I recommend setting your input to trackpad (this is in the AndroidVNC settings)
It runs really fast, especially w/ LXDE (it does fine in Gnome too!)
Apps included:
-Firefox
-Thunderbird
-Open Office Suite
-GIMP image editor
-Emacs Text Editor
-Transmission p2p client
-and a lot more
Thank you for all this info.

The market app you mentioned says that the kernel needs to have loop device support. Did you install a custom ROM with that feature? Because the app makes it sound like loop device support isn't part of any stock ROMs.

Turning your phone into a full computer. MHL it to your TV, get a keyboard, etc
This doesn't seem to work 'out of the box' or by following the instructions in the pro app. I configured everything as asked, and put everything in /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/Ubuntu. As soon as the terminal app launches to start ubuntu.sh, it immediately errors because it doesnt have the correct path pre-configured for our phones. So I manually went to the correct path and ran "sh ubuntu.sh" but I was again hit with an error "can't execute /root/init.sh : no such file or directory". This is past my abilities, as I assume that is a path issue within the .img. How are you guys getting ubuntu booted?
Is your note rooted? Almost seems like it can't access that directory.

It is supposed to be on the internal sd if you want it on the external you have to edit the boot script.
Also you do need root the first command is su
this was all done inside backtrack on the note.

The majority of them yes. There are definitely some that don't
If you've not been back to webOS in while, this is worth checking out. The devs at webOS internals have built a community edition of the Luna manger used by webOS.
Great new features. Best (in my view) are the new gestures allowing to switch between apps by swiping in from the edge of the screen. Card stacks can be put in tabs for faster switching too. Behaves like I imagine windows 8 will from the videos I've seen. Definitely worth checking out. Only word of warning is that you must be running the latest webOS version which can be a tricky update with android installed. Nothing too tough.. Something to play around with anyhow
You will also need to enable beta testing feeds in order to download the new Luna. This will require you to remove preware and reinstall
as well as modifying the settings in preware. There are several changes that need to be made but the webosnation forum has detailed instructions for making all the changes.

good point. I didn't find enabling beta feeds too tough. Worse was updating webOS to 3.05. The ota update doesn't play nice with moboot on some devices. Kept failing. I used webOS doctor to update. That actually removes moboot (not android, just moboot) so I just used acme to reinstall moboot only.
vid of new features

looks nice, now get it out of beta I had trouble getting beta feed to work, I wasn't savy enough to get it right the first time so I went back to default preware lol

I have both beta and alpha feeds enabled but don't think I found the right file. When I do a search for Luna I get two files one dated a month ago, which doesn't seem to do anything and the other dated 2010 which obviously isn't it. What is the file name.

Not sure where the difficulty was for you, but a decent set of instructions are on the webOS internals wiki.
http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Testing_Feeds
You'll need a computer with a working novaterm installed. From there its just copy/paste. I uninstalled preware then used the novaterm connection to enable the feed and reinstall preware

the file is LunaCE. Make sure the feed is enabled using the instructions AND enabled in the preware manage feeds menu. When preware is updating feeds, do you see beta feeds being shown as the circle spins?

Yes I see both beta and alpha the only feed I don't have enabled is the preware theme feed. Could it be in there? Also it was almost a year ago that I installed preware so could there be a new beta feed that I will get if I uninstall and reinstall preware?
UPDATE: ok I figured it out it was under beta-woce which has wasn't enabled. I. Hadn't noticed that feed yesterday but I have it now so thank you.

No , you must also install an app from preware called" Tweaks " .I made the same mistake myself. Open Tweaks then in its menu settings enable gestures etc .
I hope this helps .

You're welcome glad you got it sorted, I'm still playing.

You might be able to download a terminal emulator in preware, then follow the same instructions entering the commands there instead of with a pc.

hdad is right. You can use xecutah/xserver/xterm to do this. Heres a short video showing it running:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDzhOylypv4
You can use this to run the commands. I tried it once before but wasnt very familiar with it so I went the webOS quick install route instead. But if you dont have a PC to work on, try this out.
The process to get the alpha/beta feeds installed though requires you to delete preware. Which, without a PC, is kinda tricky to get back. You can try Save/Restore. Its kind of like Titanium Backup for webOS. But I dont know if restoring it from there will effect the command changes you make. Or download Internalz Pro and email the Preware ipk to your device, I think you can use Internalz to handle package installs.

Yeah, its not the Xecutah part i'd have trouble with, it's the "enable alpha/beta feeds" part. I only have one PC that will work properly with novacom, and its my dads slow-as-heck Windows Vista laptop. I'd rather wait for this to exit beta than risk it(cause I don't trust the laptop)

Oh, so you're afraid of something going wrong and not being able to use the webOS doctor? I get that. I have a feeling it will be in beta for a while though. The devs just started this. I love it though.

That's exactly it. And its not like I use webOS enough right now to warrant it.

What do you mean? The ENTIRE process is carried out on the TouchPad from within webOS using Xecutah... using the terminal with Novacom is an entirely different route of doing the same thing
The only thing you use the laptop for is to view the wiki site where the enable commands are... but ALL commands are typed in and executed ON THE TOUCHPAD and not connected in any way, shape or form to the computer....
Hope this helps and gets you on the way to enjoying the new tweaks
By the way... they have updated to LunaCE 4.90
