HP Touchpad running Ubuntu Touch

THIS THREAD IS NOW OUTDATED. Page 17 and on contains information for Ubuntu Touch Saucy port.
NEW THREAD ON THE WAY.

What works. Wifi+ADB+Touch.
What doesn't work: Sound+Bluetooth. Bluetooth doesn't work yet in Ubuntu Touch, and Sound doesn't work with the Evervolv source. Camera.

Download these files.

Recovery Image.

Put on your SDCARD and install in ClockWorkMod. You know.. when you first turn on the tablet, moboot loads.. you should see a menu for clockwork recovery mod.

EDIT: Oh yeah.. First do a factory reset in recovery mod, THEN install the zip files... The factory reset formats the cm-cache and cm-data partitions.. There are 3 partitions. cm-cache cm-data cm-system. Factory reset formats cache and data.. When you install the first zip, it formats the system partition. Then after that install the RootFS.zip that you downloaded from ubuntu... It extracts the RootFS to the cm-data partition, that you formatted. So it should be clean.

Reboot.

Enjoy!

Oh yeah.. Onscreen Keyboard is not sized right. Seems to be an Ubuntu bug... If your fonts are wrong. .reboot.. check out /system/etc/init.d/90userinit for the stuff I added.

thanks to the usual guys. JCSullins, Evervolv, Tigeris and litz and ompx in ubuntu-touch on irc. The wifi fix was an idea I got while stuck in traffic. Can't believe it worked.
Oh yeah.. THANK YOU DR. MARBLE.

PS. I read somewhere you need at least 600MB of free space, AFTER you copy the files to the sdcard, for the extraction to go well...

Off to 3.0.8

EDIT TO POST. UNMOUNT PROC OUTSIDE OF CHROOT VIA USERINIT, AND NETWORK MANAGER WORKS WITHOUT FANOTIFY

Going to try a newer kernel to get wifi working. We need Fanotify in the kernel for the network manager to see the wireless. Has to do with proc mounted inside of a chroot and daemons having permission. Sad because once you run ubuntu_chroot shell to get in, you can run iwlist wlan0 scan...

Status Update Complete.

How to compile. Grab evervolv's device folder, but not his vendor folder.. grab hardware/qcom hardware/atheros and the compat-wireless from.. some folder.. forgot the name... I got these from evervolv's ubuntuphone branch for tenderloin.. (the kernel) and his build of android.

Those are the current sources.. May change.. Be sure to change ev.mk file to cm.mk, and change /vender/ev (inside of ev.mk) to /vendor/cm, ev.dependencies file to cm.dependencies....

JCSullins announced he will start work on JB. So that is cool. But.. 3.0.8 Kernel doesn't have working sound or bluetooth. Until someone figures that out with 3.0.8, Ubuntu-Touch and the Touchpad WILL NOT HAVE SOUND. (cough cough nag jcsullins cough cough).. That guy is the man to go to for that.

Backporting Fanotify is not easy. You run into having to change the msm code. (I ran into msm-watchdog.c) So much you might as well just go to 3.0.8.. I have an odd feeling that is someone were to backport it, sound would stop working....

Backup you jellybean system folder to a tarball and then extract it somewhere.. Same with the Ubuntu Touch system folder.

(I was about to give up!)
cp -R -f /jellybean/lib/* /system/lib
cp -R -f /ubuntutouch/lib/* /system/lib
cp -R -f /jellybean/etc/firmware/* /system/etc/firmware (my adreno firmware was missing, so this will fix that)

reboot.. and it worked.. merged libraries.

Fonts are not bad all the time..... Going to try this with 3.0.8 tonight.. If someone is bored today, give it a shot. Let us know how it works.

To brunch tenderloin I have to manually create out/host/linux-x86/bin and stick mkimage in there.
go to vender/cm/vendersetup.sh and add add-lunch-combo cm-tenderloin-userdebug.. I think.

there is a mkimage in the ubuntu touch source.. I used that. /system/extras/mkimage.. it needs to be compiled gcc mkimage.c -o mkimage -lz
then copy it cp ./system/extras/mkimage/mkimage ./out/host/linux-x86/bin no idea if this is required.

there are 2 bzr branch commands that need to be run.. google that.. Should be in Ubuntu Porting guide, but it's not. ubuntuappmanager library and some other library.
edit: run this inside of the ubuntu touch source folder/ubuntu
"bzr branch lphablet-extras/libhybris hybris" stupid smiles. =)
"bzr branch lplatform-api platform-api"

dont forget to run extract-files.sh and get-prebuild, etc.


source build/envsetup.sh
lunch (pick 14)
brunch tenderloin


I bring over ts_srv and that other ts program from jellybean to ubuntu and currently add commands to /system/etc/init.d/90userinit to get stuff running.. Lazy, I am.

Confused? That is my rough draft guide.

A dude by the name of tigeris, or something that started with tig.. he helped me a lot on ubuntu-phone on irc. So did another guy named.. omxy.. I think... I will find them. Gotta go,

My wife would really like someone to pick this work up.. She wants me to .. "come back to the family"....

Oh yeah.. Wifi does work.

To get wifi working..

do this.

ubuntu_chroot shell

mount -o proc proc /proc

network manager should now bomb.

this is for open security.

ifconfig wlan0 essid "your essid"
ifconfig wlan0 up
dhcpcd wlan0

dhcpcd taken from jellybean tar.gz from the bin folder.. So.. yeah.. but no network-manager without fanotify and some other daemons. be sure to take dhcpcd stuff from etc.

DONT RUN ubuntu_chroot all by itself.. It will crash.

ALSO you MUST unmount proc before shutting down or it will be stuck in mtab and you will have old stuff inside of the /proc folder, inside of chroot, or rather /data/ubuntu/proc..

Problems? Restore ubuntufs tarball in recovery.
I will release something sometime soon.. after testing 3.0.8.. but if you know how to do all this stuff, be my guest.

Doing that tonight... By the end of tonight I will release something..

It will be 3 files.

The first will be the .zip file that has the actual /system folder
second is of course from ubuntu and is the rootfs.
Third will be a tarball you guys can extract once the tablet is booted that will just have touch and graphics working. You can use wifi if you run it from adb, and keep the tablet powered on.

I haven't even touched pixel ratio.

Oh.. a 4th file.. of the whole ubuntu touch folder.. cleaned and made proper.. Uploaded to google drive.. Or hell I guess I can look at github...

Gotta play mario with my little girl first.
