Any update on this rom. I would really like to have a working ubuntu port on my d2lte

We don't know. This was the developer's last activity:

Any Updates?

Gosh this is old.

Now that I am only playing with ROMs and don't need this phone for a daily driver I was hoping this would be at least somewhat usable. I may do the dual-boot thing if I can keep LS, I haven't read up on any of it yet.

I sent a PM to Phil_Suz, we'll see what's up hopefully.

    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

    Hi all,

    Just to give some news about the porting :

    • Bluetooth : now can be started. Icon appears on top menu bar. I cannot test it because it is only dedicated for bt headsets but I don't have one.
    • Gps : Interface with hardware is now OK. Command line utility (/usr/bin/test_gps) gives me good position (latitude,longitude). not working under maps app but don't know if it is already working or not on this current dev version.
    • qcow2 support is working now too. (this will open nice features like liveboot)

    I'm leaving country for one month next friday, I don't know if I will have time to finish this and package new version before.

    Unfortunately I end up being in a boot logo when I tried to install with multiboot and as a primary install.

    Hi all,

    Just came back to Canada.
    When free time, I will try to produce a version compatible for primary install and improve installation process to get something more stable.

    One would be the battery being stuck at the 0% while charging.

    Hi, here is a patch to get real status and icon during charging.
    Not fully fonctionnal because fall back to 0% when fully charged but at least seems to work during charging which is most important.
    ( if 0% seen during charging, just unplung and replug usb and touch the screen one or two times )

    I was able to install following The vídeo without a problem. Just hoping more functionality like buttons and more apps.

    Ubuntu Touch isn't designed for buttons unfortunately. Applications will come out whenever they're developed.

    Hi codemonkey98, yes that's true.
    But since ~1 week, ubuntu team included volume buttons handling in their daily prebuild and this is really great.


    By the way, version 0.2 is on progress and downloadable

    changelog :

    • build on latest ubuntu touch daily prebuilds ( 2014-04-16 ) :
      • volumes buttons working :good:
      • UI changes (scopes)
      • small regression with charge indicator ( multiply by 3 to get real value )
    • added an ubuntu boot splash
    • fixed gps - working only with test_gps ( not working with indicator )
    • bluetooth now started - don't know if it can discover bt headsets
    • add nbd kernel support (for future qcow2 support, a new version of multiboot will be needed)
