Hi everyone,
As you probably have heard, the Ubuntu Touch (alpha) image has been released for the Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, 7 and 10.
I would like to request porting it to our N7100 devices!
If I could I would do it myself but I have never ported anything.. However, if I can help in any way I will gladly do what I can!
For reference:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Porting
Since Galaxy S3 was one of the best-selling smartphone, I hope will be a port for it and consequentially for note 2 that has the same hardware platform
its not the place to Request a port.

big boooi no need to request, the porting instructions just came online and seem as "easy" as building CM from source.
its only natural that ports will be available on most devices.

Yay!!!
Device = Note 2
Rom = Omega 12
([email protected] black,[email protected] pack)
Kernel = Perseus 32
(Cpu [email protected],Gpu [email protected])
Audio = AC!D + Noozxoide
There is no point of porting it currently, as most things don't work very well..
This is for devs, to test their apps. Not for users.. (yet )

I am aware of this.. But porting also has it's own malfunctions and problems. By porting an alpha release some of these problems can be solved before the stable release, was my thought
I am building a Ubuntu ROM now, as it was said before, don't expect much the ROM, as it is still being developed. But I am pretty sure you guys like me, just want a taste of it.

Hi Dev,
Ubuntu Touch is fabulous and it looks great.
I see you were working hardly last month in porting Ubuntu touch in SGN2.
But this month no update, not a single post. Is this project ALIVE or being DISCONTINUED or DEAD???
Dev pl work on it, we have lots of hope on you.
Thanks
Hello, I will like to know if there is any android 4.4.x rom for the xperia S/SL that has the HDMI output working as well both cameras, until now I had tried Paranoid android beta 4 and Carbon the first one works flawless but has no HDMI and the second one is given me a blurry and bad signal trough the HDMI output.
Before keep installing a reinstalling roms I will like to hear any advice about any stable 4.4.X rom out there or at least any rom with HD camera recording, 3d graphic and HDMI output working.
Thank you.
We are on the same page bro. Been looking for that too.
And maybe any rom that has the radio drivers installed. cant believe now that i don hav that i actually want to use it
HDMI and FM radio, as well as many other features depend on the chipset OEM (Qualcomm) drivers. They offer support up to some Android version (last stock JB?), but AFAIK KitKat is not and will never be supported. They could also open the source code/spec for the drivers, which will enable the community to fix those issues, but I seriously doubt they will even consider it.

Sad but hey the google nexus 5 also has a snapdragon inside, that means there will be no future support for the nexus 5? I doubt that, there must be a way to get us those drivers.
Can I ask why the drivers are so important?? Why they cant be ported or rewritten by some dev? Like the drivers on linux, all are free and open, wtirren by devs and users. Is it impossible to write a driver for a snapdragon?
Sorry for my questions, im a noob

It is not impossible.
What devs COULD do is reverse engineer the drivers from 4.1.2 to 4.4 or whatever, but that would be REALLY hard, and take a LOT of time and tries. It simply does not worth the process.
But I think HDMI and FM Radio should come from Sony, not Qualcomm, not sure.

well, so there wasour hope ;d. I bet sony already forgot that they ever made Xperia S... Thay are making so many phones now... thats just crazy, if some1 buy flagship sony just after 2-3 months he had 2nd best of their models. thats insane. They havent even made kitkat for most of their current "flagships" yet. Xperia s [*].
BTW. Love u xda Devs, you are a little star that gives us hope to use nice phone even more efficient and cool than before .
PS. God i hate that 10post req for responding in dev-s threads... i have so many questions about my pureslim kitkat ;/.
I am tempted into sell my phone to buy a new one, but is so sad because I think Xperias in general have a pretty good hardware, my next phone will be a nexus or who knows... Maybe I will end up selling my soul to Apple at least they have longer support for any older phone...
The thing is I love to hack my phones that's why I got an Android in first place.

I tried aroma installer but the Z2 apps/launcher are not working
Hmmm i know a dev that is working om porting the entire firmware but you will need a unlocked bootloader
Keep am eye out for Xperia 4.3 official firmware and 4.4

Hmm, very interesting. Did you manage to solve the incompatible driver problems or are you using the 4.1.2 ones?
Or are you guys using a CM10 based ROM to port 4.3/4.4 apps and features? I'm very curious indeed
Well tornado007 is porting 4.4 right now
We may port the drivers or make new ones based on blichen97's 4.4 aosp
I personaly am working on Envi-OS port for xperia s

I assume it's going to be very hard to create the drivers to run official firmwares on our old Scorpion devices.. But very interesting. I'm still surprised there is a chance to receive a "Semi-official" 4.3/4.4 updates.
Sorry if I'm being inconvenient, but what is left to completely port it?

Well im working on messing with blichen97s aosp kernel and tornado007 is working on the display drivers, for the port
Porting CM is easy, porting aosp harder, porting preconfigured OS's is very hard because you have to deal with crap spesific for that device
We havnt gotn far at all
(irrelivent news)
Envi-OS (server version too) works for XS , its in pre-alpha... Next month XS will get it
(ultra boot now drops boot to less than 1 second)
Sent from my LT26i using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Hmm, I see. Good to know.. If when the development gets more far and you need a tester you can PM me anytime, I have unlocked bootloader
Sorry if I'm being too nayve, but I did a quick research and coudn't find anything related to Envi-OS.. What exactly is it?

We have a tester but more testers means more ground covered
I think Tornado007s 4.4 may be out in a few weeks to a month
Envi-OS is my own linux OS
It contains unique features like ultraboot RFMM
Main features:
UltraBoot
Drops boot time from 2 seconds to less than 0.5 (on xperia s)(boot records :0.1 seconds , on xperia s)
RFMM (ram file merge mount)
Allows you to expand your ram through mountable files on your storage (upto 128gb)
Krynik Home environment
A home environment that includes a phone,phablet,tablet and desktop mode, default to phone in xperia s but you can use desktop mode
Krynik engine
In phone(phablet and tablet mode too) mode desktop only programs can run in phone mode the engine makes programms act like Sony small apps a little bit
Envi-OS isnt public but in a few weeks ill put the website up and release an alpha build
The plan for the os is to unify or make your devices more useful or easy to use
Ill screenshot My OS if i remember to

heh i wouldent wait on envi-os , it is in pre-alpha.
4.4 port is what we are throing a lot into so it should be done in a while (like said before preconfigured roms are anoying)
that shouldent take too long
also ill be buying a XZ2 so Envi-OS is coming to that and maybe a comunity Stock plus project
tornado007 has a XZ So maybe envi-os will come to that (ill ask if he can port XZ2 camera too)

4.4 port is tough.. We need to build display drivers from scratch which is a huge burden.. I am although trying to contact pro devs and get help.. I am not a genius who can write 10000 lines of code without help.. Although willing to give it a try.. Don't get any hopes up just yet.. Its still unsure that such a kernel can be built to make the official 4.4 from XZ1c to work on our device.. I may need a dev like niaboc or bilchen to make such kernel.. If i were u, i would not get my hopes up..

I figured it was going to be difficult... I wish I could help but I still have zero knowledge of programming languages. I Wonder if it is really possible to create such kernel even with help from pro devs like DooMLord.. I still have hopes but at the end of the year I'll be retiring this Xperia S, so anything until there is welcome!

Hi all guys! As the title said the nexus codes for the L prewiew are live (you can read more about it Here.
Now we need developers with the time and the ability to build it!
I'm sure you can do something in no time. Good job

Nope, I'd say its pretty useless for us because it's just parts of the system and not the things we need, saddly... It is however usefull to see what the ROM devs will be up against once the full code is released so maybe they can bring L to us earlier that they previously thought
Just a newbie question..
What are the odds of seeing a ported pure lollipop ROM from the developer previews to the G3? Is that even possible at this stage?
Sent from my LG-D855 using XDA Free mobile app
I'd imagine some devs are beginning to port it as we speak. The source code just dropped a few days ago if Im not mistaken so It will take a while to adapt to the G3. Also note, that we have to wait till we can bump our ROMs, because without that, we might as well be carrying around a laptop in our back pocket to fastboot it. Don't worry, im as excited as you are. Also note that I do believe LG is working hard on their Optimus skin for Lollipop as well. So that should be on it's way next month if we are being optimistic.
Thanx for your answer.
I'm very excited on what's coming next for us.
I saw the Dev build on a nexus and it was jaw dropping.
Optimus UI along with 5.0 is sweet idea yes, but not as close to an AOSP.
Currently running CM11 tethered, loving each second of it lol

i have worked on a port of lollypop since last month and the main problem is kernel that's not working with rom.. (kernel panic) we need lollipop sources for kernel at least
Isn't the source release helping you with that?
