I'm been working on it since the new porting guide came up. As I write this I'm actually creating a local mirror since I have multiple Xperia devices I'd like to see it on. As for my own progess, I gave it a shot about a week ago but ran into issues that I think were because I didn't have a...

New Porting Guide It seems there's a new porting guide up now. I'll give it a shot and report back here on the results.

Is ffOS stable enough to be used as a daily driver? ---------- Post added at 08:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 AM ---------- I asked around in IRC to see if they have plans to update the porting guide any time soon. One of the devs said that once they've completed work on the...

Unfortunately, it seems that the Ubuntu Touch team is primarily focused on completing work for the BQ and Meizu phones that will be sporting Ubuntu Touch. That said, significant changes have been made to the OS that make the current porting guide completely unusable for porting. Which means...

Any new developments on this front? I recently moved so I haven't been getting after it lately, but I'm still curious to see this continue.... Part of me is thinking that since the kernel sources are on github it might be easier to start with the kernel and build UT from there instead of...

That's good to know! In the mean time, I'll start looking at the builds for odin to see if I can determine enough from that to get a working build for togari.

If the end result of the disclousre is that the users can protect themselves, then yes. As the OP pointed out:

It would seem that the UT wiki does somewhat describe this process. This article discusses building UT from fresh AOSP sources (making your own changes). Perhaps that is what needs to happen here.

It can't hurt to let them know youre doing it. Sent from my Xperia ZL using XDA Free mobile app

That could potentially be a major source of my problems. i wasn't aware of that. All I have at the moment is a fork of the CM repos. Feel free to add me to your repo. My username on Github is Kohelet as well. I can start to look into removing java dependencies as well. As for the sound, the...

Sure, feel free. I built CM for all my devices and regretted not keeping such a list when I did that. So now every time I work on a build I keep lists like that. Eventually, when I have a working build, I'll post a guide for how to build following the same steps I took.

I actually got past the libhybris issue. The problem was that the porting guide is out of date. It's based on using cm-10.1 whereas the current source for Ubuntu is based on cm-11.0. So if you use 4.4.2 instead instead of 4.2.2 then it works. But there are so many other issues and the...

So I've gotten the build to start, but I'm running into issues with libhybris: ubuntu/hybris/compat/media/media_codec_layer.cpp:51:40: fatal error: gui/IGraphicBufferProducer.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated. make: ***...

How are you doing on this? I've just started working on this as well and am curious to know how far along you've gotten/what issues you've run into. Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Free mobile app

http://forums.chameleonos.org/threads/building-chameleonos-on-an-unofficial-device.425/ By far one of the best guides for porting a ROM that I've seen.

Update So I wasn't actually able to get it to build.....I tried building CM from scratch to see if I could at least accomplish that and, alas, I could not. So I guess it's just user-error. I've been super busy lately but as soon as I get some more free time I'll try again.

I stumbled across this tool for testing Android Security. It's open source and from working through the user guide I can say that it's easy to use and definitely has potential as a tool for analyzing app security. Has anyone else used it/have any experience (positive/negative) with it...

I am also interested in what steps you took to connect your pi to Glass.

Do you mean like an OTA update system?

MS dev tools are pretty nice, but that's because they have to be. Android's not really meant to be a centralized and standardized experience. It's meant to succeed or fail based on the motivation and effort of the open source community. It's a much smoother ride when MS controls all of the...

Different strokes for different folks. Each has their uses and target audience. Congrats on finding a new home!

I've been running 4.4.x nightlies since late December and haven't had any problems thus far. Good work! I get LTE icon on my C6506 when I'm in an area with LTE. If you're using t-mobile make sure you have the right APN settings for LTE.

Meh, it's a matter of preference and hand-size really. For what the OP listed as the "perfect phone", the ZL is a great match. Personally, I'm a big fan of the Z Ultra as a tablet replacement. If only it were an inch larger, it would be the perfect 7in tablet.

I was able to get a used one for about $285 on swappa. You can get it for $500 new straight from Sony. Good luck in your search! Sent from my Xperia ZL using Tapatalk

I tried flashing the ROM from the OP and it failed the initial asserts in updater-script. I tried removing the asserts and flashing again but get: I'm currently working on a 4.4 build based on the instructions given on the ChameleonOS forums and will post here if I can get it working.

Has anyone using Glass Explorer edition every experimented with Arduino integration and Android Open Accessory Project? I'm curious to know how easy/seamless using AOAP with Glass would be before I buy one. From Google it seems that one would be able to use an Arduino with Glass via AOAP, but...

Is there any sort of custom ROM out that has a collection of Android pentesting tools such as this one? Sort of like BackTrack/Kali, but for Android?

I bought one a couple months ago and about a week after I got it I noticed a friend of mine has one as well. I've also seen them in a couple of T-mobile stores to which I've been. And of course, I saw more than a few at ShmooCon this past January, but I suppose that's to be expected.

This looks promising: http://code.google.com/p/python-for-android/wiki/Python3 I imagine SL4A also has some python3 support.

It really all depends on what your priorities are. I had a Windows tablet/phone for about a year and I absolutely loved the user experience. Personally, I think it was the best touch experience I've ever had in a mobile device, and my history of smartphone mobile device OSes has been...

I mean, I know you said you had the look of the Sony phones, but take the Xperia ZL: 5-5.2 inch screen? :good: SD Card slot? :good: 13+ mp camera? :good: Buttons on side instead of back? :good: Unlocked bootloader? :good: All of the features you want are there in a phone like the Xperia ZL...

The only way to eliminate the ability of a nation-state interfering in your data would be to not generate any. If they're watching you, then stopping them from watching you isn't going to be possible. So it's better to ensure that when they watch you appear innocent. Granted, I'm not saying you...

Ditto

I've never really dealt with Sony warranty service, but when I went to buy my ZL from a Sony Outlet Store the customer service was pretty awesome. I've since gone back and bought an Xperia Tablet Z (which I sold recently) and an Xperia Z Ultra (to take the place of the XTZ as my tablet). I...

Have you actually implemented these changes? If so do you have a code-base somewhere that someone could download and try?
