Would it be possible for me to get Ubuntu Touch 14.04 on my captivate glide I927?
It currently has a SlimBean rom with clockwork recovery which works fine but if I try to flash Ubuntu Touch it won't work.
I was wondering if it would be possible for me to do this, and how I would?
Someone has to prebuild an image for us specifically - Ubuntu Touch is device-specific, like those Android ROMs.
And there's no 14.04 yet - it's to be released April 2014.

Okay, thanks for filling me in on some more info
Do you know of any Ubuntu Touch roms, or anything like Ubuntu I can use on the captivate?
I just wanna mess around and I know using a captivate glide there aren't too many roms but I can't afford a better phone and I actually like this phone for now

Sorry, no. As you already said, Glide has very few ROMs, and all we have are either fully-working stock ROMs that got stuck at Android 4.0, or custom ROMs up to Android 4.3 but with major or minor flaws.
As for Ubuntu Touch - you wouldn't want to install it unless your phone is not for daily use. It's far from complete, although a "stable" release was already out for Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4. I flashed a build on my Galaxy Nexus and hell, I literally returned to my original ROM in 5 minutes.

At So my whole goal is to bring Ubuntu v.03 for the galaxy nexus Verizon. Now the image created for the hd2 we can use. What we would need is a stock kernal or custom with the CONFIG_VT enabled. Then a custom boot .img. They had it running on the nexus s n I figure a similair process could be used I'll post links to show what I'm talking about but I have an image with a working touch screen. Any help would be awesome as I have little time with work and school. Also the roofs file used can be updated to ext 4
I just sqw that verizon note 2 got what looks like a decent cm 10.1 build. Would it be safe to flash on our tmobile note 2. Or how hard would it be to port over?

Not directly answering your question, but there's an AOKP ROM over in the Original Android Dev section, which would be close to CM.
There was also a CM a few weeks ago, but the thread was closed due to the OP apparently taking credit for someone else's work. I used it for a bit, but in the end I decided to go back to a TW based ROM. I missed the camera too much.
I saw both of those. I was just curious because it is cm 10.1 so that means android 4.2 I am already running 4.2.1 on my nexus 7 and it is very nice. So would lime to give it a try on the note 2. Although touchwiz on the note 2 is very nice any way.

You can flash it but it's buggy. Might not get data service. Also Android 4.2 arranges your sdcard files differently which is going to make a mess if/when you want to downgrade prior 4.2...

Mine was a mess after I flashed but there's a file in the att 10.1 thread that fixes it back. You can flash the att 10.1 but in call audio doesn't work, their real close to putting it up fixed though
So we can cm 10.1 from verizon and att the same way we would flash a T889 rom?

I don't know about Verizon, but the att version I've flashed before
If you can wait there's official Cyanogenmod 10.1 support coming for the GSM LTE Galaxy Note II. Madmack and Codeworkx are currently working the kinks out. There will hopefully be a get.cm download for it in the very near future... The official device name is t0lte.
You can follow the progress on the following thread:

but now ,it's run on new nexus 7 had some bug ,the big problem is java couldn't install on ubuntu.
somebody can help me ?
make a 4.2 or 4.1 rom?
I don't think that either of those is compatible with the new hardware in the N7 2013. I've only seen 4.3 builds.

thanks for your reply,it's too sad
No kernel. No drivers = no 4.2
4.2 and 1 were broken anyways. Way less problems with 4.3.

Yes, but no chroot gnu/linux in 4.3, that's a MAJOR issue with 4.3 :/ Still waiting for a fix from Google or a workaround from the community...
Only time will tell. I guess sooner or later either Google or the community will have the solution
Hey folks,
my Nexus 7 just arrived and I am wondering what the first steps should look like.
I am not completely unfamiliar with Android, as I owned a Samsung Galaxy a few years ago, but since then I didn't really have had any more contact with it.
What I'd like is to install a nice custom rom, which is simple yet good looking and has a good battery runtime, etc.
As far as I know the Google stock Android is rather smooth so it could also be a modified original rom. I'm not sure about de-odex vs. odexed. What would be preferable?
Can you suggest the best ROM for that purposes? Ideally it should have a readme on how to install
Also do I need to unlock bootloaders or root the phone in advance or does the custom rom does all that for me?
Thanks in advance and best regards,
daZza

WiFi, 2013 Version.
To start with I just installed the Google USB Drivers and that Android SDK ADT Package thingy (all-in-one with Eclipse, etc.). Hope that's right xD
Edit: wugfreshs' tool seems to be the way to go. However, I am still unclear on whether or not to update my N7 with the newest update? I just got a message that there are updates available...
Edit2: Well, seems easy enough to use. Driver Test was successful, so I'll just go ahead and unlock/root it. Would appreciate ROM suggestions though
If you don't want me be messing with it I'd say stock rooted is the way to go.
Odex files help apps load faster I believe, and Roms are de-odexed to allow customizations such as icons and theming.
I really recommend sticking with a stock rooted ROM. Android is so polished theses days I don't see the need to mess with a good thing.

It's basically Stock but with minor improvements (pre-rooted, init.d support, slimmed down etc.)
Well if I was you the first thing I would do is update my stock rom then the next thing I would do is root the tablet with the Nexus root toolkit toolkit provided by WuGFresh.
Use the root toolkit to install the USB drivers then to unlock the bootloader there to root your Nexus 7 tablet
After your tablet is rooted load up the Google Play Store and download the app multi rom manager this app will allow you to to install Multi rom which will allow you to install multiple roms on your Nexus 7 tablet and it will also install TWRP recovery manager for you as well.
When you have multirom installed you can add a second third or fourth rom without ever touching or harming your stock ROM. As for a custom ROM I just flashed CyanogenMod 11 on my Nexus 7 2013 model Flo WiFi only tablet. Just download the latest nightly to get Android 4.4.1 or you can go with 10.2 for a "stable" ROM but the nightly is working great.
When you flash CyanogenMod don't forget to flash Google apps the GApps zip file.
As for adding ROMs with multirom you can do a YouTube search for the exact steps...bit it is quite easy. CyanogenMod or CM rather is the Cadillac of Android Roms and looks/runs great.
As for others I would probably recommend AOKP I have heard good things about it...
Many people like Paranoid Android. I tried it but did not care for it. I did not care for the rom not being rooted, but that is just my opinion.
You can't go wrong with CyanogenMod ROM.
Hope it helps and congrats on getting your N7.

Thanks for all the help.
Can I install the ROM on this devices using the Hammerhead 4.45 Stable?
Looking for ASAP answers.
How to unlock the bootloader with Linux PC or phone only? I don't have Windows 7.
ASAP Answer because the ROM is now downloading!

I am downloading the file. But request a more stable Paranoid ROM for the devices. :laugh:
The hammerhead is the Nexus 5. We don't support your devices. It would be extremely beneficial for you to actually learn what you have and understand how this all works.
The Duos 2 can only flash it's own roms and some s7560m (Ace IIx/ Trend) ROMs, and even then you can only successfully flash the latter if you go through a whole rigamarole. I'd wait until you're more aware of what;s what before you try anything in any capacity, lest you get in over your head.
