[ROM] Ubuntu Touch Preview [02/27: Alpha Update #1] - Kindle Fire Android Development

** Work-In-Progress: Ubuntu Touch Preview is just that.. a PREVIEW. Do not complain about missing features, etc. The OS isn't nearly ready for primetime. **
Curious as to how the Ubuntu Touch Preview looks? Why not load it on your Kindle Fire 1st Gen and see for yourself.
CHANGES:
[02/27] Fixed the UI DPI settings. Needs to re-flash following the instructions below.
Instructions [CHANGED 02/27]:
1. Make a Titanium Backup and/or backup in recovery of your current Android. This preview is fun to play with but not a replacement for something as developed as CM 10.1
2. Download the Kindle Fire 1st=Gen Mini-Android base for Ubuntu Touch and place it on your device:
[02/27] http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/otter/ubuntu-phablet/phablet-20130227-otter.zip
md5sum: 4584b054391fe744230d9fd28686c37c
3. DUE TO OUR DATA PARTITION SIZE WE HAVE SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR PLACING THE UBUNTU TOUCH ROOTFS ON OUR DEVICE:
3a. Download a custom Ubuntu Touch Rootfs Installer ZIP:
http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/otter/ubuntu-phablet/ubuntu-rootfs-installer.zip
3b. Download the latest Ubuntu Touch Preview Filesystem .zip from Ubuntu:
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch-preview/daily-preinstalled/current/quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip
If the above link is broken, use this link for a full listing of the current build files (download the quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip .. soon to be raring-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip):
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch-preview/daily-preinstalled/current/
3c. On your PC extract open the Ubuntu Touch Preview Filesystem .zip and extract the *.tar.gz file inside
(currently called: manhattan-quantal-armhf-tar-20130227-1.tar.gz)
3d. rename this to: ubuntu-rootfs.tar.gz and place it at the root of /sdcard on the Kindle (not in any subdirectories)
4. Reboot into recovery.
4a. Wipe system and Factory Reset (wipes data/cache).
IMPORTANT:
4b. Install the ubuntu-rootfs-installer.zip FIRST (this actually uses the ubuntu-rootfs.tar.gz file we placed on the /sdcard), and then the phablet-2013xxxx-otter.zip SECOND.
5. Reboot and Enjoy
NOTE: The preview comes pre-loaded with several users in the login screen and they have data to browse around with. Move to the "Guest" account and tap on area where it tells you to login.
WHAT WORKS:
Display
Touch screen
WHAT DOESN'T WORK:
** OVER TIME YOU WILL RUN OUT OF MEMORY AND THE DEVICE BECOMES TERRIBLY SLUGGISH. THIS IS DUE TO OUR 512MB RAM AND HOPEFULLY THIS IS FIXED AS TIME GOES ON BY CANONICAL **
There's so much that is still being implemented into the Touch version of Ubuntu, that this list could get pretty long.
[FIXED 02/27] Need to adjust the GRID_UNIT_PX in /home/phablet/.bashrc to be slightly smaller so that the on-screen keyboard fits correctly
Oddly no WIFI yet. Still troubleshooting.
No sound
Barely any sensors other than touchscreen work. IE: no rotation, etc. Ubuntu WIP issue.
No HD codecs (still being worked on) Ubuntu WIP issue.
No screen timeout / auto blank -- becareful when walking away from the device. Need to press the power button to turn the screen off. Ubuntu WIP issue.
RELATED UBUNTU TOUCH LINKS:
(Some of these describe how to install it on devices -- you can ignore those instructions and follow the above for the Kindle Fire)

Release Notes: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/ReleaseNotes
IRC Channel on freenode.net: #ubuntu-touch

RESERVED

The data extract is around 900MB. So plan accordingly Normally the 500MB internal .tar.gz file is extracted to /data and then extracted out from there, but we have to avoid this. Hence the longer rootfs install instructions.

Awesome work Hashcode! I'll be installing this and testing when I get home from work. Since it's CM based I assume ADB shell and logcat will work? I'm familiar with Linux so I've been looking forward to this.

Awesome. @HashCode- you still amaze me every time I see you post! Great job! And for step three is it a,b or c. Or a, b and c?
Edit: never mind I was confused. Thanks again.

After messing around for a bit I went back to Android. Its actually pretty smooth. Way better than I thought. Once WiFi and rotation get fixed I'll probably use it more. But it is what it is, a Preview. Great job Hash! Hope you can keep this updated!

Thank you x 1000000! Nice work, Keep it up!

How much memory does this take on the SDCARD? Currently I am dualbooting, and can I dualboot this and stock MoDaCo?

Will this work with this

Currently I would not suggest dual booting this. It should work tho. But if you read, there is memory management issues and it will become sluggish. Extremely. And it isn't even finished, there is a lot of issues. But once they get worked out, I'm going try to dualboot it.

Ichigo said:
Please stop asking about dual booting. He already said that we have a longer rootfs install instructions to avoid it extracting to the data partition and then extracting the files from there. Everything works fine when dual booting. It's just as smooth. The only thing that may make it buggy is lack of cpu.

So is memory management is first priority?

Tried it out
Sure does scroll nice! :laugh: Seriously, it does have a very pretty interface, which might be highly functional. Kinda like the using the original germ of an idea that was used in the original Kindle but all grown up. Can't wait to be able to do something useful with it.
Thanks Hashcode. Always fun to try these things. Instructions were spot on.
Now lets see if I can restore using the today's update to TWRP. I needed to test it anyway.

Awesome, will try this later. There still seems more development to come, will test when WIFI is fixed. I have expected this to come, I am more excited about FireFox OS though.

[ROM UPDATE 01/19/12][Deodexed][1.12.23-2.1.13 Framework][ICS] Nexus S 4G 4.0.3

In the interest of time I will make this quick. I ported this from MIUIScotland's 4.0.3 rom. Everything works if you flash the matrix kernel 13 or 14.5 (see below) Feedback is good.
Proceedure:
*v.1.12.23*
1. Full Wipe (format data, system, boot, cache if boot loops)
2. Flash rom (link below)
3. Flash either of the Matrix Kernels below.
4. Reboot and enjoy
*Update v.1.12.23-2.1.6*
Notes: ROM can be flashed over 1.12.23. Researching standalone flash results. For now install 1.12.36 (the original) then the update to be safe.
Full wipe if coming from anyother rom besides 1.12.23
*memory offset notice during flash is not an error notice, so disregard as normal.*
Working:
WiFi, bluetooth, voice, data, GPS, market, launcher, camera, DHCP, SU, Exchange (ActiveSync), Flash Player*
*Download the BrowserGoogle.apk>place in /system/app directory>fix permissions>enjoy
Not Working:
WiMax

Oh yeah, I am not liable for anything that happens due to this rom.
**No worries though this ROM is stable and crisp.
Includes bash-4.0.0 binary that I added as a supplement. type "bash" using any terminal emulator apk and then type help to view command and version info.
01/16/2012
Update: Below is the ROM Update I promised to deliver.
Version: 1.12.23-2.1.6----->>>>> I have merged my orginal base rom with the 2.1.6 MIUI framework. This merge results with all features functioning as in the orginal rom, but with the added system ui color scheme of 2.1.6. Also, I have added about a dozen new binary files in the /system/bin directory that I have aquaired and or patched from the basic ARMel Linux architecture. In addition to these binary files, I included about 12 new apk in the rom to minimize my own post flash configuration process. I hope that this can save someone else a little time and frusteration too. Bonus features of the new framework are the Supermarket, Notes, YouTube, Google+, DSPManager, the original SprintTV app, the orginal Nexus 3D Gallery, and all Supermarket downloads are now fully functioning. The build number is the same to prevent the mobile data from crashing. So with out further adoo, Here tis'...

ATTENTION- Force Closes on inital boot can accure, but should not persistantly inhibit system function. Solution below...
REPLACE GOOGLELOGINSERVICE.APK AND GOOGLESERVICESFRAMEWORK.APK WITH THE RESPECTIVELY NAMED APKS BELOW IN /SYSTEM/APP/. MANUALLY FIX THE PERMISSIONS TO MATCH AL THE OTHER APKS IN /SYSTEM/APP/>REBOOT. ​[1.17.12]Upgrade (pronounced Oop-grad in German*) Build v4 1.12.23 R2: China 2.1.6 framework resources included
This refined version is fully flashable after a complete wipe/total device reformat (I tested it on my crespo4g this time). I has a tone of features and I received only one force close on boot, Updater App, which after closing only once did not come back to stain me like mustard on a new pair of pants or pantaloons depending on your local vernacular.
What works[Everything from previous builds +]: USB Mounting, Facelock, Language Dictionaries, Theme Manager's online library, over 2000kb/sec downstream on 3g (basically 4g is working after you create a new APN named sprint[pm me of look it up on the net if you need help.
Not Working: MMS..probably..I am sure someone will let me know about their precious mms

It is a aethetic error. Usually roms say "Sprint," but I did not edit the xml, so it reads that the phone is not roaming, which is the next line item in the array string.

I did not edit the boot.img or the framework, so you shouldn't have boot loop problems. Formate system, data, cache, and boot. Reflash rom and please let me kow the result for troubleshooting purposes. Thank you.
Nope, just tested all three. Check browser settings ie pop-up blocker or safe-screening type filter settings.

[APP][CYANOGEN MOD] File Manager!!! :D

The CyanogenMod team has been making good progress towards the latest, stable version of its ROM - CyanogenMod 10 - but there's still time for more features to be added before its eventual release.
One of those features is a root-enabled file manager, which was announced on the Cyanogen Google+ page a few hours ago. Judging from the screenshots, it looks to blend in seamlessly with other CyanogenMod features and the rest of the Android OS, with a really nice looking interface. (Screenshots Below)
When you're browsing through your files, you will be able to choose between three access modes: Safe mode, Prompt User mode and Root Access mode. As you'd expect, it will allow you to view files on your internal storage device as well
you can get the apk here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?do5c710wiwcxwps
Simply copy to system/app and set permissions to rw-r--r--

you should install this as a system app,
you can use Root Explorer for that,

Hey mate, not sure of your association with Cyanogen (so I maybe shooting my mouth off too soon?) but I know you have stated courtesy of Android police, but I was just wondering if you have asked someone from the Cyan team if it is ok to post this up?
They put a lot of hard work into their apps and customisations, and I know that one of their team had made mention in a post the other day that they were starting to get tired of people just automatically assuming that it's ok to post up/reproduce/hack/kang or "claim as their own" the work of the cyanogenmod team without any courtesy to contact anyone in the team and ask first?
It's like they have been labelled like a vendor and acknowledgements becoming null and void cause of 'who they are' and that people going as minimal of just stating their sources like that is enough? I mean I could be wrong in this instance, and I am only relaying the expressions of one of their team, but it maybe worth while just flicking someone a quick PM first as courtesy and second as appreciation maybe?

Doesn't that defeat the purpose? I know your right, but at the very least someone could write a script and put it in a CWM script.
Just for information sake that if you place an app in system/app that a reboot is going to be necessary anyway, and that fix permissions can be performed in recovery that will enable the correct permissions for the app anyway.
From a personal perspective, and as far as I know....most cyanogen mod apps can be installed to the phone as signatures won't clash. If it does install as a user app (as i would expect) then there is no real need to put the app in system. Why bother? RootExplorer and RootBrowser are non factory file browsers and they do not require to be installed in system/app?
Just sayin
---------- Post added at 12:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:43 AM ----------
Oh sorry to clarify and further to what I have posted above. The reason that this app probably doesn't work so well on Touchwiz ROMs like Wanams is because the app is in system and the framework is attempting to disable it because it's signatures don't match. Another reason to try installing as a normal app first.

MazWoz SBC Kernel - If anyone wants SBC
Most things are working but I know the following are broken.
-Video playback may cause a hot reboot
-Camcorder
-4G
-FFC
Additionally, making a phonecall will cause the cpu to max at 614Mhz usually and I recommend going in to performance and bumping it up to 998.
I personally use Boot Manager in the play store to boot to CM7 whenever I need any of these features.

Android AOSP 4.3 Source Build for Nexus 10

For those who prefer open source builds, rather than "Factory Images", here is a zip which is a stock, AOSP 4.3 build, straight from source. Why post this when anyone could make it? Well, it seems Google messed up their binary drivers, so it took me a little while to fix them, and fix the problems and get the ROM booting (they put the wrong mali GLES driver in their blob package).
Anyway, I have fixed that, and made it build successfully, so without futher ado, an AOSP (no google proprietary apps etc) build of 4.3 for the Nexus 10. The fixed vendor blobs are available at https://github.com/pulser/vendor_samsung_manta for anyone wanting to build themselves, and all can be verified, as they came from the "Factory Image" of 4.3 for the Nexus 10.

Hmmm...I'm co cerned what you said about they put the wrong Mali driver in. What does this effect for those of us who flashed the stock image from the website?..

Stock image isn't the AOSP?
I am not worrying.
Thanks OP.

Nothing to worry about. I took the RIGHT driver from the factory image (stock image).
The AOSP release they made had wrong blobs, I rectified it with the correct files from the stock image.
I missed a blob:

Never downloaded anything from Github before...

For those who prefer open source builds, rather than "Factory Images", here is a zip which is a stock, AOSP 4.3 build, straight from source. Why post this when anyone could make it? Well, it seems Google messed up their binary drivers, so it took me a little while to fix them, and fix the problems and get the ROM booting (they put the wrong mali GLES driver in their blob package).
Anyway, I have fixed that, and made it build successfully, so without futher ado, an AOSP (no google proprietary apps etc) build of 4.3 for the Nexus 10. The fixed vendor blobs are available at https://github.com/pulser/vendor_samsung_manta for anyone wanting to build themselves, and all can be verified, as they came from the "Factory Image" of 4.3 for the Nexus 10.

Is this why the latest version supported for manta is 4.2.2r1 (according to this) while everything else is 4.3xx?
Explains why I can't get a flashable build.
This is why I stick to factory images.

It may well be, but the factory image is available.
But some of us don't want GApps, and don't want binary parts (save for the necessary evil of drivers), which is where AOSP builds come in.

Thanks. I like to build for myself but couldn't figure out why I couldn't flash successfully. Upon further investigation it appears that it is not supported (yet) in aosp. I'm running the factory images for now instead. However, this evening I'm going to flash this.
I just want to make sure. This wont wipe my internal hard drive. First time i flashed the new 4.2 i lost everything and cant backup anything as of now because i am outta town the whole summer.. Plz if anybody can confirm

I am not aware of anything to deliberately wipe /data, but I strongly suggest you don't flash this, unless you are willing to lose things? Why? because I didn't test every possible situation that could come up. I also didn't CHECK that /data remained...
So perhaps take the OTA (if you're on stock)? Or just hang off? It's nothing hugely special in my opinion.

I don't know how to download them. Are they downloadable?
I suppose if I could understand the page I would know which ones to take from the factory image...noob, sorry.
Is it just "libRSDriverArm.so"?

Thanks pulser_g2 for adding the correct binary blobs! Glad I'm not completely insane like I thought I was, I too noticed that Google had forgotten to provide the correct graphics driver binaries so I tried building 4.3 with the 4.2.2 graphics binaries and it not surprisingly didn't boot past the Google logo. Glad we could get this fixed :good:.

Sure, that is the only "blob" I am aware I forgot. The N10 supposedly supports Bluetooth 4 (LE), but I have no idea how to test it, as I don't have any Bluetooth 4 LE devices. Can anyone test that? I will update the system.img today for you to make it easier It was only one blob I missed, and it only affects using front facing camera I believe.

[4.4] KitKat ART discussion thread

Hello,
Following @Nebucatnetzer idea (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47328274&postcount=1283), I decided to create a new thread dedicated to ART talking.
ART is not even finished by Google : all the ART discussion in 4.4 custom ROMs thread for our GNex clutters the threads with the same question every page. It results in messy threads which do not help anyone who wants to see the status, updates, or wants to post bugreports about the KitKat ROMs !
Small reminder out there : KitKat isn't even fully working on our phone, so it is quite early to mess up with ART, just my opinion So I'll hope everyone will talk about ART here as it concerns all the 4.4 ROMs out there.
What is ART ?
ART, Android RunTime, is a new runtime which has been introduced in Android 4.4.
It has been said that it improves the smoothness of the phone, but ATM it's more of a placebo effect (listen to this please, very interesting : Android Central : five minutes about ART podcast)
How to enable ART ?
Important, as Android devs said : Dalvik must remain the default runtime or you risk breaking your Android implementations and third-party applications.
(source : https://source.android.com/devices/tech/dalvik/art.html)
Go to Settings, then Developer Options, then Select runtime and select "Use ART"
BEWARE : Use odexed gapps (from AOSPA) otherwise you'll have nonstop FC and a really hard time reselecting Dalvik !
Here's a download link :AOSPA Odexed 4.4 Gapps
After selecting ART, your phone will rebuild is cache as usual, but don't worry if it takes a long moment, 20-30mins as some people reported.
If there's any other information we should add to this OP, I'll do it So, please use this magnificient thread to centralize all the ART talk :good:
Cheers !

Neither does Titanium Backup. I still get FC on Google keyboard, Google one and some init even with odex gapps. Each reboot there's 16 apps that need to be rebuilt each time. Really sucks.
Has anybody noticed some speed improvements?

Don't think so. I think the system does it when selecting ART and rebooting. That's why cache rebuilding takes a longer time.
But I'm not sure at all.

ART
I tried switching to ART last night.
I used Grarak's and ODEXED PA GApps.
After switching to ART, the phone prompted a reboot so I plugged my phone preparing fie a logcat.
When the Google logo appeared I started the logcat.
I noticed 1 error from the very beginning. It's looking for something and it didn't seem to find it.
Then on the process of optimizing the apps, there is one persistent warning.
It says it didn't find "ELF Magic".
What is ELF Magic ?
i was just thinking, with a fully stock odexed rom, all of the system apps and some frameworks are odexed. so when we are currently using art its only affecting the gapps and nothing else so technically we are not fully using art to its best ability and getting the full effect am i right ? i know its experimental but having the gapps only running with the art runtime is very minimal. i dived around root explorer and i noticed that the priv-app files still contained odex files and not oat showing that the compiler only works on system apps, idk im just babbling on sharing some thoughts haha anyways i would love to try it on a full rom scale some time hope ya guys understand what im trying to say here

ELF file is a kind of executable file used by some Unix-like systems, similar to exe on Windows. The header of the file contains a sequence, called the magic number, which the system will check to make sure it's the right format. If not found, that means it's not an ELF. Search "ELF magic number" for more info.

Obviously it's magic from an Elf! See if you can capture one of the Keebler elves and have them use their magic on your phone!
On a more serious note:
In computing, the Executable and Linkable Format (ELF, formerly called Extensible Linking Format) is a common standard file format for executables, object code, shared libraries, and core dumps. First published in the System V Application Binary Interface specification,[1] and later in the Tool Interface Standard,[2] it was quickly accepted among different vendors of Unix systems. In 1999 it was chosen as the standard binary file format for Unix and Unix-like systems on x86 by the 86open project.
ELF is flexible and extensible by design, and it is not bound to any particular processor or architecture. This has allowed it to be adopted by many different operating systems on many different platforms.

Hey guys, I just found this video about ART vs. Dalvik. Okay, it is on Nexus 7 (2013), but I guess the weaker OMAP4460 can see some benefits once we have a more-or-less stable build.
Okay, the video only appears for 1 second here, so here is the link: http://youtu.be/xgnZbdO4NV0
