[ROM][PORT] Ubuntu Touch 14.04 trusty - update 20140416

Phil_Suz · Apr 1, 2014

Hi All,

This is a partial port attempt of latest ubuntu touch 14.04 on our d2att (http://www.ubuntu.com/phone).
Because this port is not fully completed, I prefered to release a multiboot version (multiboot v2.11 needed http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2684052 ).
If you are not familiar wtih multiboot, please check how to use it before testing this rom ( or watch videos examples here : http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCefO8F4YX6qMQsqpBHTqTqQ)

When you install this ROM with multiboot, you will have to choose img format only and at least 2.5G for data parition.

Features ( tested only on my Bell carrier d2att ) :

Graphics : OK
Cellular Radio : OK
Wireless network OK
Touch OK
Suspend/Resume OK
Rotation : OK
Phone OK
Audio OK
Boot process : ~OK
Camera OK (since v0.12 )
Battery : ~OK ( but value printed is 1/3 of the real one )
volumes buttons : OK
GPS : very partial ( position tracking only working with test_gps command line )
Bluetooth : unknown ( but started ) - has to be tested with a headset

All others features are not working (not yet studied nor tested)

Important recommandations to install this ROM under multiboot :

img file only - install on external sdcard recommended
count ~30 mn to install an external sd ( ~15 mn to create rom and 15 mn to install rom )
80M for system, 2.5G for data, 20M for cache
first reboot can take 2 minutes, be patient. After more than 2 minutes, press on/off button, it is possible that the phone is put in pause
cell can take 2 minutes to come UP.
sometimes boot does not work, the device reboot after timeout on main rom. Reboot to recovery and just try a second time. This happen especially if installed on internal sdcard, that's why I recommended an installation on external.

Note : did not find a reboot option : to reboot, I press ~3s power button until screen turns off, then release button and wait first vibration. At first vibration, usual technique to jump to recovery

New version 0.2 : http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407586924

Do you need to flash the cm 10 rom first or just the trusty zip by its self

Hi kalel420, the zip contains everything ( cm10 base and trusty ), so you just have to flash this zip. You can also check the video to follow installation process.

Hi, I'm codemonkey98 from the other thread discussing multiboot. I am very interested in work, so interested that I mentioned you in the /r/GalaxyS3 subreddit on Reddit. The following thread that I posted can be found below:

[d2att] [ROM] [PORT] Ubuntu Touch 14.04 trusty - for multiboot by /u/Nickolaus

I hope you do not mind me simply spreading the word about you. If you do, I will kindly delete the post.

~~~~~

That aside, may I ask how you're going to go about installing this? I do not have multiboot on my phone yet, but do I simply flash that .zip file for multiboot within my recovery and then walla?

Hi codemonkey98, no prob for reddit.:good:
If you plan to install this rom on your main internal, even if I strongly do not recommand it, install should be working (has to be confirmed).
I don't recommand it not only because it is not fully fonctionnal but mainly because reboot process is not good at all.

Philippe,

I was actually going to install it on my external SD card. So was I right about the TWRP part? I can simply flash the multiboot zip from your multiboot thread within my TWRP recovery?

Is the any way you can add support for the MJ2 bootloader I got a unsupported bootloader error when trying to install

Yes, you install "d2att-twrp2.7-mb-v2.11.zip" from your actual recovery (twrp or cwm), then reboot to recovery to get twrp with multiboot.

Hum, this is CM10.1 base which check this. To fix it, you will have to modify updater-script in zip file.
open zip file (with winrar for example), extract META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script, edit it and replace for example on line 2 "I747UCDLK3" by your bootloader version. and replace this file.

[edit] will upload version 0.12 without modem version checking.
[edit2] version 0.12 is quite ready with another function just fixed now : camera

Philippe,

Have you been able to fix the power button? I'm honestly contemplating on making this as my stable ROM for ****s and giggles. I do have a question however, whenever I was creating a ROM in my external SD card, it took a very LONG time for it to backup. I let it sit and it never finished so I just shut it off.

DexedrineXR · Apr 2, 2014

Congrats on the port. I tried it out, had to add a line in metadata and the updater script for the Canadian bootloader so that it was able to flash. It works like advertised....

I think best way to make a clean poweroff/reboot will be to write small qml program.
Installation on external sdcard is long : ~15 minutes for rom creation and again 10-15 min for installation (on my sdcard)
If you get problem on sdcard, just try temporarly on internal sdcard ( check the video on first message ).

I was able to flash this tonight, and I must say I'm pressed how far you've gotten with this port. Obviously it's sluggish, but that's to be expected. Honestly, I'm just shocked.

~~~~~

Edit #1 If you are wanting your Google Contacts, you should be able to do this:

Code:

adb shell
sudo -u phablet -i
syncevolution --configure --sync-property "username=email@gmail.com" --sync-property "password=secret" Google_Contacts
syncevolution --sync refresh-from-server Google_Contacts addressbook

If you have 50 or more contacts you'll also have to do this:

Code:

syncevolution --sync one-way-from-server Google_Contacts addressbook

There's also an application that can be used to import Google contacts as well. This application can be found here.

Edit #2 The default password for the account Phablet is phablet if I'm not mistaken.

Hi Dexedrine and codemonkey98, thank's to give feedbacks.:good:
Thanks also codemonkey for those tips. Concerning reponsiveness of the rom, I found it quite good in my case.

Also, I successfully fixed the very annoying problem of audio during calls (exiting from speaker and not earphone) . Now we can call in public

Version0.13 is coming up.

Philippe,

You sure you haven't had any issues with the response on this port? Because I have, but like I said, that is to be expected in ports and alpha ROMs.

Concerning the tips I gave, I was honestly trying to find a way of inserting my contacts from my GMail account onto my phone. It appears using the Terminal is the best way as for now, or you could use the application I posted about. Other than that, this ROM really has been great dude. I am surprised to see how stable it is.

~~~~~

I didn't bother testing the audio issue you had mentioned because I don't receive many calls in general. However it is great to hear that you got that resolved. I'll be sure as well to flash the update when that gets uploaded for us.

For sure, external roms are a bit less fast than main internal but not that much. Ubuntu touch use Mir/Libhybris for graphical acceleration so graphics are very good (very small overhead). I did not tried a lot of apps, but did not feel slow responses. Is it general slow behaviour or for specific actions ? Maybe also, your external card is perhaps a bit slow.

Version 0.13 with audio/phone fix has been uploaded and available in first post. I did it as d2lte version to let users from other d2xxx models test this on their device.

Philippe,

I'm about to flash this right after I get it on my device. :good:

I actually wiped my external card as I plan on testing to see if that was the cause. I may as well do a backup of my current ROM and see how this preforms as a daily driver. As always, thanks again for dedicating yourself towards this. I feel as I'm the only person who's been commenting daily on this thread, but that shows my excitement towards this project of yours.

Well, while typing this post my download is already done. Might as well put this bad boy on my device and flash it. Quick question, with newer releases of this ROM, couldn't you just dirty flash or no?

mkfryan · Apr 4, 2014

Hey awesome work, I've upgraded to a new phone and gave my daughter the s3 I flashed the other night. Man you rocked it! Good job

Philippe,

I have run it a bit today from internal sd and the is a bit of unresponsiveness also when scrolling between things screen we go black till I tap it again by the way this is on v.12 but the only thing I can compare it to is Danks wip rom that I tried a bit which I believe was the developers build and nothing worked but the response time on it was pretty snappy. I also ran that on your multi boot v.2.1 from internal sd card. But this one works that's why your the man! Does the system and catch have have to be 80mb and 20mb or can we up them maybe that might help idk just thinking here.

Ubuntu Touch requires the minimum of 2560MB to be used as an actual system. The system is probably at the minimum, and I'm just guessing it is probably the down right minimum for things such as rootfs. The cache is at 20mb because of in case of the max cache size. I might be wrong however, and probably am. I'd just wait until the dev replies.

You could probably increase it if you really wanted to, but it may not benefit you.
