I done factory reset, dalvik and cash. Installed, booted and wait for more than 10 minutes. Still nothing, just black screen. And now TWRP couldn't find my restore files...

Only make a Factory Reset, don't wipe anything more, only make a factory reset. I have the same problem, I wipe all partitions and didn't work

It didn't take me that long tbh: after nandroid backup I just did factory reset (on TWRP), no cache/dalvik wipes, and after flashing it took maybe 2-3 minutes of black screen before it booted up.

I love it. I had put it on and done a backup so I can put it back on to show it off.

Have you tried restoring the backup you made? does it work? I don't remember where I read it might not restore it properly..

For me just 5-10 seconds, no more, really fast. Restore your Android backup, the make a factory reset and flash two files. Simple. Here you have a modifed version and a guide, in the 3rd post of my thread in Galaxy Nexus Developer Discussion [Developers Only]

Please:

I have CWM Touch, not TWRP. Can I install it?

After installation, if I need to return to Android, is the same process? (I use a CWM and flash my zip ROM)?

Or i lost my CWM after install ubuntu?

Thanks for help.

It doesn't really matter what recovery you are using if the recovery isn't old or any alpha..
I use touch CWM (latest version).
CWM stays, if it disappears for some reason you can easily flash recovery back.
Returning to android I wiped cache and dalvik cache and then I flashed My ROM back...

How to install Ubuntu Phone OS on Windows.

It's like spamming when you post that link many times to the Ubuntu threads.. -_-

So the quantal-preinstalled-armel+maguro.zip is CM10.1 (JB 4.2.1)
What I am going to do:
Update it to CM10.1 latest Nghtly (JB 4.2.2)
Delete videos and pictures to free more than 100Mb size, which may speed up Ubuntu.

and if all works then I would like to try AK kernel with it..

Somewhere I saw once Ubuntu SDK apps e.g. calculator, is there any way to get those SDK apps pulled from SDK and to put them to the Ubuntu touch preview image?

(I'm Bored)

I have done it, with some modifications on the lockscreen, to show also Michael Jackson's BAD "Deluxe Edition" Album, it's nice that Ubuntu developer(s) have added also Scooter's album to Ubuntu!

Now I just have to modify initramfs, add CM10.1 JB 4.2.2 kernel, add some files to /systen/bin/ and to /system/lib/

hopefully it works well..

EDIT: I accidentally put wrong ROM files but at least it booted but it didn't boot to Ubuntu OS, I try again to flash different files, maybe them works, if not then it will end to boot loop, I have too small screen on my Ubuntu computer to do those things.. -.-

 

[jimmyco2008]

For those who don't know if Ubuntu will boot or not from the black screen, I've found that if the black screen is lit, it's trying to boot... If the phone is just off (not lit), you did something wrong.

Don't be afraid of the dark!

You just can start porting. Didn't you read this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Porting

I wished you'd have an atrix in your signature

When I posted, this page was empty
I'll figure out when I get back from my travel, thanks.

 

[mcinty25]

just pushed it, still kind of buggy, or im not as proficient at linux as i supposed. settings buttons didnt work, gestures dont work with any case that sits higher than the screen, messaging layout is kind of ****ty, keyboard is terrible. Again im not complaining it is so flippin cool to have ubuntu on the phone, but im going to wait till smarter people figure out how to fix/change/use everything!

edit didnt know it was a preview! guess that explains all those tweets i never recieved

 

[chinabull]

Yes, agreed. Played with os for a few hours on my galaxy nexus and revert back to Android again because you basically can not use it for everyday usage.
Phone works on voice call and SMS. But they pre stuffed some SMS threads and contacts that you can not delete.
Gestures are good but it doesn't always work.
Performance is very poor, too.

Personally I wouldn't even release this to public if I were Ubuntu.

Play with Ubuntu Phone since 21st February, 17PM (for me)!

My game is running on UP but video with PC to really see! ubuntuone.com/19spm7LxUGYOgcQmA16sts
And on UP : ubuntuone.com/0fTDD0TEVvCzWjq8hkxc2k

"Personally I wouldn't even release this to public if I were Ubuntu."

Hence, why it was a developer preview, not a release, and certainly not a release to the public.

Why are people whining like little girls that its only a preview release? Its not done yet! This is for developers to develop software, not for people to play with as a toy.

Blame it on Cannoncial. I still have a bad taste in my mouth after trying what they released. They should have done a bit more then release it. Fix the smoothness and performance issues. We downloaded a 400 MB file, but you can't do **** on it.

 

[mcinty25]

yeah i never denied im a f'n idiot!
my friend posted the link on my fb. so i flashed it and didnt really research it much(because im so f'n smart).

for a preview its really awesome!

Blame them???????? For releasing DEVELOPER preview????? It's not supposed to be smooth yet. It's not for you obviously unless you are a rev.

 

[madquack]

Seems this is far too complex for the idiots on this forum to understand. It's a free PREVIEW, fellas. Not the final product. I can do nothing but shake my head.
