ubuntu on htc amaze - HTC Amaze 4G

I try to run ubuntu on my machine.
I did root and unlocking the bootloader and superuser + busybox I try to start ubuntu after I installed everything according to instructions in this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=962023
In "terminal monitor" that:
su <return>
cd / sdcard / external_sd / ubuntu <return>
sh ubuntu.sh <return>
He writes that he claims the UBUNTU but he just does not respond.
From what I gather I need to file "ubuntu.sh" fit to AMAZE
i am sorry about my English.

somebody know somthing? plz?

Did you post your question in THAT thread?

get Linux Installer from the market.
after you study. then use it;
after a couple builds, you will have a better idea about why you couldn't get the ubuntu.sh to work.
Linux Installer and tutorials and (and I kid you not) GOOGLE is your best friend.
the above formula worked for me. after a couple months of research and trial and errors, I have a functional and built from scratch Natty build.
one more thing- aptitude is your friend -install it with apt-get first and switch to it from apt-get soonest.
I could talk for hours, but I would hazzard a guess, as pointed out in the post above, that others , in the very forum you linked, as well as others on this very site, that these others have already talked about this for hours and you have a vast array of knowledge at your fingertips, or is it mouse pointer, either way..good luck
really just meant to say that Linux Installer from the market worked for me.

So you got ubuntu installed on your Amaze 4g? I'm using the stock kernel and it doesn't look like it has loop device support. What Rom/Kernel are you using?

Yeah I was about to say, hold on a minute, when did someone get Ubuntu running on the Amaze? I must've missed that announcement. I mean I know they got it running on a select few other phones (like the N1), but never heard anything about it running on the Amaze.

Ok so I was just able to boot ubuntu successfully. I can confirm this works using Energy Rom with stock Kernel. The problem was I was trying to install from my external SDCard not the internal. Followed the instructions here: http://androlinux.com/android-ubuntu-development/how-to-install-ubuntu-on-android/
Only issue I am having is with apt repo's but otherwise looks good!

Yea I am with you all this one I am calling BS. I would be nice to have it thought

Apt-get is more suited when installing a large amount of packages as it works out the depends faster. Otherwise Aptitude should be used. That's direct from experienced Debian developers.

I used the Ubuntu.sh method at first and for it working. Then I found out about the complete Linux installer app and have successfully ran Ubuntu 12.04, backtrack and debian.

There's an app that makes it easy to get ubuntu on Android. It's called Complete Linux Installer, search it up in the Play Store. It works for me. I actually used it so I could get hamachi running. It connects but doesn't work with it tries to connect with other devices

[Q] Unison on Android

Has anyone had any luck getting unison file sync onto an android phone. The only link I can find that actually tells how is in Japanese.
Given that I need a specific version of unison, how I could compile it to run it via the terminal app?

Desesperate bump.
I am regularly looking into this issue every now and then but can't find anything new. I also need unison to run in android as it is the way that I am syncing all my files over several machines and servers.
Maybe you could just install linux cli tools
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.galoula.LinuxInstall
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.azlinux765.alinstaller
There was another app to add CLI tools without a full linux install, but I can't find it anymore
I have got unison (version 2.40.102) compiled on android now. I'm not next to my computer that I compiled it on but I can hopefully help you out if you tell me what bits you need explained. I started off using the Japanese instructions and google translate! I am also happy to share the binary with anyone who wants it.

Thanks it actually helped a lot ... indirectly
I already knew about chroot based Linux installs and while it would effectively allow me to run unison from a Debian chroot, I wanted something more native. However, your post pushed me to look again into such options and I discovered an amazing project that allows to run Debian in a more seamless fashion using symlinks, bind-mounts and other tricks to make the experience of Debian near native.
http://sven-ola.dyndns.org/repo/debian-kit-en.html
I can now run unison over ssh and the only issue I found was a permission problem that can get fixed by asking unison to not sync permission changes.
Of course a completely native solution would be still better I think. That's why ...

- Jérôme Vouillon's OPAM Android repository (http://github.com/vouillon/opam-android-repository)
This should help you cross compile unison (I did this on Linux).
I also released recently a GUI app that allows you to unison without dealing with the command line (and without rooting) on Google Play:

Yes I saw that but the touchscreen doesn't work. I've actually managed to compile it (you can find my new thread in the developer forum section) I'll add the download link on the new thread in a few hours. The major problem is that my current "build" takes my to the login screen but because there is no virtual keyboard, I can't log in

I use the word "test" loosely, I mean the archos 70 is the device I am testing the .img's I am compiling. I now can log in but the touch screen is still acting weird. You will be able to test it out in a few hours when the .img finished uploading.
This thread is pretty much dead so I suggest you check out my other developer thread, which is the one will be on mainly

I know I should post this to the new thread in the Gen8 Android Development section, but I'm new to the forums and can't post there yet. We know the kernel is fine since we get the kernel and modules from Angstrom. The major issue I see is that Angstrom has some highly customized init.d and rc.* scripts, as well as a ton of udev and xmod files not found in kubuntu by default. The Angstrom xorg.conf doesn't even include this line:
"Option "Device" "/dev/input/by-id/usb-UNITEC_USB_Touch__Win7_-event-if00"
So I'm sure if we traverse through what's in the Angstrom rootfs.img we should find our answer to at least the touchscreen.
Try taking a look at the archos-init.sh script in the /etc folder of Angstrom.
The modifications made on Angström to make it work on Archos are all told on the Archos website, (on the same page where you download the SDE, the button under the "Download AOS" one)
Well... Yes and No
Angstrom is built using a system called OpenEmbedded (OE). OE works much like rootstock but is a little bit more advanced. It not only allows you to build a .img from a certain distro (in this case Angstrom) but also allows you to build for specific embedded devices. Right now though the newest Archos devices aren't located in the OE repo yet, so what's on the site that your seeing is actually an overlay that goes over what you download from OE that has the configs to tell OE how to built for the Archos Gen 8 architecture. It doesn't actually contain any changes to the scripts or files.
Very interesting guys, thanks a lot.

Do you have any idea if I could build an ubuntu or kubuntu .img with openembedded and then apply archos's changes to that. I've been looking for some documentation but all I have found so far is documentation relating to angstrom.
While it should be possible, as you've seen documentation is lacking for OE and I've personally had a lot of issues with it just from trying to create my own stock Angstrom .img to see how it worked. Plus it just seems like a lot of work as you have to create BitBake (.bb) files for the programs you want to install, compared to using rootstock and just being able to call out the programs you want installed by default with the --seed switch.
I think we're really a lot closer than we realize to start from scratch with OE. We have the kernel and drivers in place as well as the filesystem, we just don't have a way to tell the system to load the drivers the way they need to be loaded through either udev or init.d/rc.d*.
Well the problem was with udev and I've gotten the mouse to work without the need for an xorg.conf. I'll post more when I can but I may scrap this as everyone lost interest. I'm building a new image from Natty instead of Maverick anyway where udev isn't so flaky.

I tried the instructions listed there and they DO NOT WORK. Here's what I did step by step. When I boot the device into developer mode, I get the boodting developer editon screen, but never any hits of kubuntu.
Interestingly, if I try to restore a backed up copy of the Linux Angstrom img it won't boot that either. I have to go back and re-install the SDE to get it to boot in developer mode again.

Ubuntu Guide

Ive read for about 3 days and tried everything. Can someone please make a layman's guide on how to get ubuntu on my atrix so that I could use it on my laptop dock.
I am unlocked, rooted with stock rom but willing to change to any rom.
Are you getting the stock webtop when you connect to your lapdock? You should see a desktop, phone window in the upper left, browser window, and and the AWN dock at the bottom.
All that without any modification.

yes I get the stock webtop, but i want to try out ubuntu because the stock one is too boring
A quick search will find you quite a few methods of modifying either webtop, or maybe even installing debian in a chroot environment.
Start by reading the NOOB guide to modifying webtop at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1397583
Webtop is still being understood by many of us, especially how far we can push it before it breaks. I've just downloaded the source and am trying to generate a clean webtop image from it, and down the road seeing if I can create new and updated packages in a repository.
Hey hopeing yous can help me out I am looking for a guide on how to make my own rims I am trying to make a rom that will be native ubuntu with ATRIX 4G drivers (for data and sms)

you can try with kernel from CM7 or CM9

thank you. also if you happen to be local I'd like someone who would be able to meet somewhere possibly and walk me through some of the basic things to get me moving along. Like I said its been a long time since I've even flashed a ROM onto a phone and with this Rezound and all the ICS needing special procedures to install kernels and everything I'm completely lost. So I'm still stuck on 2.3.4. I bought the phone from a guy I used to work with and he used to be helpful but since he got tired of trying to keep up with it all and that was the reason for selling it to me he couldn't teach it. He deleted every single file from his computer related to Android and removed it all from his Pulse account and any other news feed like Google Reader and such. That's my whole predicament

Everything is all pretty simple and easy on this phone. they say its a hard phone to brick.. but honestly, im nowhere NEAR on knowing how to fully build a rom (Im still learning) but flashing them on thee other hand i know well..if you are located in texas im sure we could work something out. i am currently 21 yrs old so dont let my username fool you lol.
Do I need S-Off to go up to ICS and what does it mean to install kernels in HBoot and all that mess? Like I try to read all the things the developers say but I want to learn the basic way to do things, not the "download my toolkit and it does it all for you"
First, get rid of windows. Throw the disc in a fire, or destroy it somehow.
You need linux, Ubuntu is the most user friendly.
Also, I wouldn't use a netbook for development. You need a powerful CPU and most netbooks cant do much. Most netbooks come with windows starter because they can't handle the Aero UI.
But, I move on. Android SDK, java, and some more stuff in an earlier post is what you need. Also, set up a virtual device in Eclipse to make apps easier to test without having to download to phone.
But, eclipse has this handy feature that you can enable USB debugging and connect to your computer. When you finish a build of an app, you press the button at the top and the app automatically compiles and goes to your phone. You can go from editing and building to testing on the actual device in 5 seconds with one button click. It is awesome.

K.. first off.. you can upgrade to ICS from GB if you're S-on.. but if you're S-on, you can't downgrade I.e: (S-on example) if you're on V2.11.605.10, you can upgrade to a version higher than that like v3.14.605.10.. but once and if you upgrade to v3.14, you can't go back to ANY version below it.... If you're S-off, you could.

Windows can't Recognize the Device
Not exactly sure what the point of this gui interface is if you have to type in everything but the command. Actually more confusing to try and use this app than just running a command prompt. Example to push pull a file with this this app you need to still know the directory of everything on your phone, which most people won't know how to do. This app wants you to type in /sdcard/download/Filename.file to to pull a file from your phone. the only thing missing is adb pull.
You are really better off learning the actual commands or googling them and just install the sdk. Not only that, but the unlock/s-off features are already in other threads. The two links below are probably more than 90% of people are going to ever need.

Which S-OFF method does this use and why isn't there any credit for it in the OP?
Just got a DNA and now looking to s-off and all. interesting new layout for the download links and all, i usually use the xda classic. I saw a download link for 1.2 but didn't see a change log, which do you suggest to use? i see a big difference in file size, about 22mb on the new one.
Thanks
Is this using RevOne or Moonshine as you don't explain which software version this works for and many people are flooding the forums since they took advantage of the free upgrade from Vzw when they introduced the HTC One.
perfect work, thank you...
So is this confirmed to work? I'm still a little adamant about unlocking / rooting.
Major update to version 2.0! Check it out and provide some feedback on the new design! :highfive:
Looks great. I'm on Windows 8.1, and I get stuck here when the phone goes into fastboot mode:
"This device cannot start. (Code 10)
A device which does not exist was specified."
Does this even work for Windows 8?

Under what conditions did this error occur? Was this an error on Windows or on the phone itself?
