[HOW TO] Install the Ubuntu Touch Developer Preview on the Nexus 10 - Nexus 10 General

I've made a video showing how to install the dev preview for Ubuntu on the Nexus 10. This is not a daily driver, but is cool to check out.
I will get a review video up later tonight!

Well that's your problem right there. CDMA. That has so many stipulations and all that stuff around it. THATS why. I don't blame them for not supporting it.

http://www.ubuntu.com/tablet Sorry to bring up an old thread but i didnt want to make a new one. Anyways i was interested in ubuntu because it looked so smooth and awesome. I was just wondering is there going to be an official build for the nexus 10? Is there even another version released since the preview? That link i posted at the beginning of this post shows the nexus 10 is the tablet they have pictures of on. The website wasnt very clear if there was anything out yet or not. Also would android apps work with ubuntu? Just a couple questions sorry for hijacking the thread but thought it would fit here. Anybody else interested in it and have more info? if there is then ill make a new thread in general for discussion.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Install - You can find images for Nexus 4, Nexus 7, Nexus 10 and Galaxy Nexus there! Nexus 10 is already one of the devices that will receive official support ! Just remembering that it's not usable yet! I installed some days ago and it was still laggy and sluggish, at least for me :s
Also would android apps work with ubuntu?

As answered already many times on Ubuntu Q&A: No! Ubuntu bases on Android kernel (which is also based on Linux kernel), but has many different things, including Dalvik (correct me if I'm wrong please), so it won't run the android apps.

OK thanks that was really helpful. I figured android apps wouldn't work after reading more about it. Anyways the interface looks amazing in the video and they said it is really easy for developers to get their apps working on Ubuntu as well so once the final build is released im going to install it for sure. It would be awesome if we could dual boot it once its ready. My xperia play phone has a kernel for it that can multiboot GB,ICS, and jellybean thanks to cosmicdan. It'd be awesome if we could get that working on the nexus 10. I think I'll make a discussion thread so I don't hijack this thread and spam it, but first I'll search to make sure there already isn't one

Does this have working portable hotspot and tethering? and does the phone read the sd card correctly for music and gallery?
everything is working for me except the video recorder and some video play back is choppy. i was surprised by how good its working for me. Battery life seems to be good to.

Ignorance is bliss .
ICS Android 4 has not been released by Samsung .
XDA have a leaked ICS v KP8 Beat test rom not everything works that's why its not released .
You can install or one of the custom roms built around this . But its not for noobs and will of course void your warranty .
jje
I installed it 1 time and i was not happy whit it so i got back to official stuff xD
I found the latest CM9 build from Codeworkx to be stable enough as a daily use ROM. But I prefer TouchWiz to vanilla, so I switched back. It was very smooth though.
Bwahahaaaahahahahahaha Gold.

Why would you want to go with 4.0 when 5.0 leaked already?! Find it in all its glory here.
buddy do not listen to any of the above posts...here is a link to what you need. it is stable and smooth..trust me its my new daily driver. Click here buddy it is the latest build of ICS Link for latest ICS build
You are all gits. Give him a break, it's a reasonable question due to all the different versions flying round.
Try this thread.
Rather than being smartasses, why not give the guy an actual answer? If you think that said 'noobs' will be re educated by repeatedly posting that video, you're delusional. Either that or you genuinely think the same joke is funny after the 3rd time in a row, in which case, you're still delusional.
With this kind of attitude rife, nobody will learn to use the forum correctly or get the answers they want, creating yet more noobs.
To answer OPs question - no, there is no official ICS builds
from samsung yet. You're welcome to try a leaked build or Cyanogenmod 9, which I personally find stable enough for daily use. If you want real stability with every feature functional, however, you're going to have to wait to the official version from Samsung.
Next time, to avoid this immature nonsense, do a quick search and browse the development forum.

Some good points, however a bit of mickey taking should be expected
I am running the CM9 ICS ROM and it is very good even at this early stage. Bits like audio out through the Sammy car dock aren't working (as you'd expect) and the video issues are annoying but not show stoppers IMO so I'm using this as my daily driver for now and will see what the battery life is like.
The only real way is to do a backup and try it out for yourself.

I'll tell you why.
More and more people are coming to these forums, and disregard everything that's posted. They jump in, create a thread, ask the same questions, and expect us to do the work for them.
If this specific user took the 15 minutes to read, he would quickly understand that there are two versions of ICS for the GS2 - leaked builds from Samsung, and CM9. He would also quickly understand that none of these are "full working ROMs".
However, seeing as he couldn't bother himself for 15 minutes to at least try and figure things out on his own, I definitely can't be bothered to write a valid response and to encourage that kind of behavior.
The video basically says "search before you post". He should search before he posts. It isn't funny, it isn't a joke, its actually pretty sad the video had to be created in the first place. But it was created, and it does exist, and so I'll use it whenever its appropriate.
XDA is not anybody's personal tech support - this is not a 1-800 number to dial if you're having problems or questions regarding your device. It is, though, an enormous hub of information that is readily available to anyone who's willing to put in the tiny bit of effort required to properly use it.
Soulicro well said put it in a nutshell .
Let Rolling star answer this same question 400 times in a month dont mind ten times a day .

does anyone even own the 4.0 version?

I'm asking because I see development only for the 5.0 version
May want to search a little more.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377771
This was on the first page of the development forum, 4th one down (not counting the sticky threads)
Edit: Wait...What are you talking about you only see development for 5.0? The tread I linked you to you have replied to multiple times. Are you really not seeing what you are replying to or is your memory starting to slip?
I own the 4.0 version and I like it.
I own a 4.0, but it is my first Android device, so I am still learning how to hack and mod. There is Steve's kernal, which is about it as far as rom stuff. Custom roms seem a little overrated to me; first thing people ask when they get a device is "what's the best rom?". In truth, android is pretty darn easy to hack, modify, and theme without any rom so long as you can root. I guess some people are just to lazy/busy to figure it out themselves, so they wait for someone else to put the modifcations into a rom for them. My motto is if "if you want something done right, do it yourself".

Yea, cyanogen would be nice, but I'm getting sick of people posting and sending pm to me saying "what's the best rom for this?" and "where are all the roms for this?" Don't get me wrong, roms are nice, but going on and on about them instead of making them yourself is pretty rediculous!

MTP device error
Thought I would post this here in case anyone was having any trouble getting the Galaxy Player 4.0 (YP-G1) to connect to Kies using Windows (I'm on 7, 32bit). It was for a Samsung phone model but it works for the Player also.

Here are the instructions on connecting your Samsung Wave GT-S8500 phone to Kies.
1. Close Kies
2. Remove phone and USB from PC
3. Select Samsung Kies under Settings > Connectivity > USB > Samsung Kies
4. Press and hold menu button on the phone > select 'end all applications'
5. Connect phone to USB
6. Connect USB to PC (I am running Windows 7 64 Bit)
7. Windows will automatically install MTP driver and opens up its own window to manipulate the contents of the phone
8. Now start Kies --> it will now recognize the phone
Done!
sorry to revive this old thread but can anyone explain why the 4.0 gets very little development 'progress'? I mean I remember the 5.0 got ICS in no time and is already om jb. it had to do with sources and samsung...right?

Don't know if it's the 4.0 that have little dev progress or just you that haven't seen the news since quite a while ago... we have JB 4.1 and a 3.0 kernel is in the works.
Also to answer your question I think you seem to forget a little detail. We're only 2 (or more like 1 and a half) compared to the 5.0 where's a they're 3 or 4.
I know that and maybe I'm not remembering correctly but I clearly remember there was some problem with porting ics to the 4.0 while it arrived a year before on the 5.0 and it had nothing to do with people involved. But then again I might be wrong

Hisense Sero 7 Pro General Questions Thread

Since we don't have a forum specifically for the Sero 7 Pro, this thread can serve as a place to ask questions unrelated to the current ROM threads. I will link it in the Home Base Start/Here and Sero 7 Pro owners can ask general questions and I hope the community will respond.
So, ask away!
Ubuntu Touch
OK -- now that we have a thread for general questions, I'll go first.
Has anyone tried Ubuntu Touch on their Sero? There appears to be some very interesting features
I also have a question which I'd like to ask. In fact there's 2 questions...
1: Are there any devs working on ROMs for UK 32gb Hisense Sero 7 Pro?
2: Are those of us still using stock UK ROM likely to get any OTA updates from Hisense?
Thanks

probably just reaching end of life. this tablet is starting to get old now, and people are probably moving on to newer things. with that being said, i hope there is still some interest. theres a tablet version of miui that just came out for the nexus 7 II, i don't know how popular it would be, but maybe it would not be too difficult to port it over. http://en.miui.com/thread-16879-1-1.html someone made a port for the original nexus 7, maybe something there might be of use since this tablet share a lot of similar hardware with the original nexus 7 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2700212

For some reason while using carbon rom my battery usage is weird. Not only does it seem to drain really fast but once I get to around 15% it just completely dies. It's like the 15% is a lie and it's really at 0%
davepmer,
After sticking to Carbon 0326 forever because it worked by far the best for my 4 Seros, I installed 0515 Omni on them as it appears to work great as well. 24 hours later I'm realizing that I have no sound whatsoever, and DSP Manager will open but when I try to play something in say, Apollo, I get a DSP Manager has closed error. I full wiped and cleaned every one of them before the install, and 3 are running TWRP and one Philz and doesn't seem to make any difference. Any chance you know an easy fix?
I had the same problem vette. I flashed twice and did full wipes every time. No sound from anything I tried. On the plus side, flashing back to carbon seems to have fixed my battery drain problems.

I have tried contacting hisense europe numerous times to no avail ebuyer no longer stock the tablet so i think we can safely assume the answer to question 2 is no.
TBH i sold mine and picked up a nexus 7 ill not be buying a cheap unsupported tablet ever again the extra money is worth the updates and support.
Thanks for the reply.
I'm still using the stock (but rooted) UK rom on mine and have to say it's still working fine for me. It's much better than the Asus Memopad 7 that we also have - streets ahead in fact.
Looks like I'll keep it as it is until it stops working or until something far far better comes out at a good (cheap!) price.

If you look here I'm about to start development of Ubuntu Touch for the Sero 7. The Sero also meets the minimum requirements for the high-end version of it, meaning you can connect a keyboard, mouse, and external HDD to the Sero so it can double as a portable Ubuntu desktop computer. Who's up for some portable Android development?

I've noticed that depending on what you have running at the time of charging, like background programs and screen brightness is more of a draw on the device than the charge it's receiving. I have used battery doctor with tremendous success. If it is not the cable I would try this program.

Android L

Hey folks,
Do you know if there are any developers working on porting Android L Developers Preview to our G2?
It's just that the Nexus 5 and the LG G2 are very similar on hardware, it seems like it's not that complicated.
Thanks.
Please don't move the thread to Q&A, it's less a question and more a discussion.
you already have a thread(s) with this question and it's been answered just a few days ago...

Found it...
Well, depends on how difficult it is to port it to the G2. If it's difficult and could take a lot of time I agree with you, start developing a ROM would be a waste of time.
But if it's an easy work (as I said earlier, the Nexus 5 and the G2 are similar) then making a ROM that matches the exact one running on the Nexus without any more features, would be very nice and something to play with until the full version comes out. And my guess is that the full L will be close (in the way of how it works) to the preview, so it might help developing later.
I think will be develop L port for our device after will be published official L sources by google

I agree with you. It would be fun to play with. I don't see why it's such a pain to do seeing that the devices are so close in specs.
Giga they are close in specs with chipset and screen but they have lots of differences regarding hardware. Its also hard to port an android version what your phone doesn't have yet and also taking the risk to do it the biggest problems are the kerne i guess. It would be theoritically possible to just flash the android l from the nexus 5 on the g2 and it might boot but its highly risky and things like wifi etc probably don't work and it could cause screen problems like the stripes issue since we don't know yet what it causes to get like that.

What do We Need?

Granted, I'm "late" to the Nexus 6P game, and we have tons of ROMs to choose from. I like to build ROMs too, so, what are we missing? If there's a firmware out there, that you'd like to have on your device, by all means: Post In this Thread
Please, don't ask me to "add/remove features" on an existing project, I'm not going to do "something else" with other peoples work, just ain't right...

Samsung Edge features would be interesting on our phones...

I feel you, when I got the nexus 6p a year back I felt out if the game.
I'm on mobile right now (so it's a bit harder to check but I wonder if we have a sailfishOS or Ubuntu , KDE (or plasma mobile they are calling it)
If I think of anymore I'll. Let you know

I would love to try sailfishos! Always intrigued me.

Sailfish OS seems a step in the wrong direction to me. After a little reading, it runs on top of CyanogenMod (I don't mean Lineage), for ported devices. I will look into KDE (Plasma Mobile) later today, need to go to work now...

+1 !
What we miss is a truly unique rom.
All of them differ just in de amount of features they have. What would be awesome would be a rom that not only is different, but also looks different.

Yes most of those ROM ports run off cm cause of its compatibility with so many devices, that doesn't make it a step in the wrong direction though as it's a completely different OS with repos required from cm that can probably be replaced with their updated lineage fork. Even if not I guarantee people would still use it if it was 7.0 as it's totally new os for people to play with

CM12 is latest "stable", some folks seem to be kinda working on CM13, but it's still using a lot of CM12 stuff (looking at Github, anyway). Again, this is just for porting to "New" devices. It's been a few months since any repos were updated...
From what I gathered on the KDE site, you need to run MutliROM and get Ubuntu Touch working. Then you can try to port Plasma Mobile, kinda like using the KDE Desktop on your Ubuntu install with a PC. I haven't even looked at Ubuntu Touch yet, lol.
I'll keep doing research, anyone that wants to chip in, feel free :good:
Well I was working on a project long time ago, was not for this device, it was a port for the "Download Booster", when it was cool, and then I failed to do so.
If you can port it to a rom that would be great IMO

i hear you, i know none of them run off the latest android sources i was just giving suggestions off the top of my head of things i feel people would be interested in seeing for the device.
hopefully you end up finding the right thing for you

As stated, I'll keep researching, right now, I'm really enjoying ScrewdAOSP ROM on my 6P
Must be faster.
The "quick send to" feature doesn't work well. I would like to quit Twitter from there and telegram etc don't show the chats towards you send more files, just the last ones that received messages.
Configuration tool of RR is a must have. No ROM acceptable without that.

You don't really need to port Ubuntu Touch per se to get a Plasma Mobile port working. Just getting an Ubuntu 16.04 rootfs working should suffice for a base to build on. Additionally, porting Halium components should be enough to get the ball rolling.
I was working on a port of PM with someone else a couple of months ago until Halium started and more stuff started piling up for me. If you want to have some of the files we worked on, PM me.
EDIT: I have a thread about porting non-Android OSes to the Nexus 6P if it piques your interest.
