[ROM] Ubuntu Developer Preview for Galaxy S
- Thread starter pawitp
- Start date
It uses CyanogenMod recovery. Essential parts are based on CyanogenMod so that it can be made available on all devices supported by cm team. Its a great strategy as this way they will end up having a chance of having huge amount of users at launch instantly. They won't have to wait for their device to sell. Apps will be developed faster and more through their app store will result in huge money instantly, huge growth without doing anything except using help of open source cm. That's why I love open source, I love cm team and their work. And Sir pawitp's work is the best.
There's something really useful called the logcat
And make sure the data wipe is before, not after, the install.

Nope, there is no use of those buttons on Ubuntu touch. To go to home swipe from left edge. Swipe from bottom for menu and that also has the back button. Swiping from right will open the last opened app which is still running. And top edge swiping will open settings bar, message bar and all that stuff. Kthnxbai!

My experience with the os and conclusion -
The os is extremely smooth when it loads an app and is working properly, it was laggy at some parts like just after boot or when launching an app.
But I couldn't help but notice the extreme smoothness of the camera app and home. I didn't played with it more than 10 mins. Camera app was extremely smooth and was clicking clear pictures and fast. I also noticed that multitasking was working great even though the device has so limited ram.
Its a promising os and I will surely use this on my galaxy s (maybe on my nexus 7 as well) once its fully released.
And kudos to pawitp for porting.

But it doesn't need too many changes to make a 4.2.2 kernel work on Ubuntu *looking at porting guide*
Yeah I wiped and then installed cm and I got that decryption password message. I rewiped in recovery and it didn't came back.

No, this isn't an android ROM. This is an entirely different OS. Like u can't use a software made for Linux on windows, same way u can't use kernel made for android for Ubuntu.

Thats because currently Ubuntu Touch is actually based on CM10.1, thats why any device with CM10.1 support can run Ubuntu Touch in some form.
Uploaded short video, at the end I got freeze and need to reboot, pretty cool alternative for CM

Final version 14.10(14.XX, not sure) will be released in October-November AFAIK. First devices made for this os will be released next year, Q1.
PS- Accidentally pressed thanks.
No one knows, canonical said they working with a HUGE SUPPLIER. I guess its Samsung, HTC, Asus or LG! Any other can't be called a huge supplier.

Don't worry about apps, this OS will have the fastest growing app market ever. They have planted the seed for it right.
Technically, it is Android running underneath so that Android hardware drivers can be used. However, you cannot just flash a random kernel because they won't have the proper options and ramdisk for Ubuntu.
I have made a video, showing how this OS runs on our Galaxy S.

Well I do not know the exact technical details, I wish I did but i don't [

Will maybe flash when the /sdcard is at least working. Looks really nice though.

217Ubuntu Developer Preview came out today and I decided to play around with it a little. It's based on CM, so it's a fairly easy port to get the base feature working, but many things do not work.
Note that this is a one-shot and there will be no updates (maybe until it becomes more than a developer preview, but no promise!)
Code:#include <std_disclaimer.h> /* * Your warranty is now void. * * I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, * thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please * do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM * before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if * you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you. */
All sources are available from Ubuntu's and CyanogenMod repositories. All other patches will be listed here.
What works? Doesn't work?
