Wifi works perfect but font is messed up.

Well, you can't have both, so choose one...
Just kidding! Together with the ubuntu devs we were checking out the possibilities to fix that font issue without reverting to the older drivers.
But it seems that there is no perfect solution, fonts are still somewhat messed up. So I will revert to the older drivers that have no font issues at all.

Boot image in zip

Hi,

I'm trying to port Ubuntu Touch flipped to tf700t, but I don't understood - how ubuntu bootimg is created?
When I build your n8013 build - I was not able to get the same boot.img in zip as you - it is still for android (with init.rc). Could you help me?

Reverted to older drivers, font issues are gone completely. Just don't reboot Ubuntu Touch, the second time it won't boot (investigating).
Uploading... Done

Now you tell us not to reboot, haha. I already found out yesterday...

Also, the wifi connected fine. But webpages did not load, so I tried rebooting and yeah.. Thank you for taking your time to develop and fix bugs for Ubuntu Touch, I can't wait until it's fully functional.

A temporary fix for the reboot issue (thanks OrokuSaki):
add this line at the end of /etc/fstab (/data/ubuntu/etc/fstab):
/system /var/lib/lxc/android/rootfs/system auto ro,bind 0 0

Hi there, has anyone tried to get this running on the n8020? Any major obstacles in porting or is it like porting android roms?

Tomorrow, ubuntu will switch to new alsa (sound):
Up until now, we've been using Android's AudioFlinger for playing back
and recording audio. Starting with tomorrow's image, that is no longer
true. Instead we're talking directly from PulseAudio to ALSA, or the
Android audio HAL when necessary.
Our device is safe, so feel free to upgrade to the newer ubuntu images (starting from 08-28) and to the new device image (08-27)
EDIT: looks like after all they changed something, so we don't have sound starting 08-28. Just stick with an earlier ubuntu image.

I've seen a lot of efforts put into this project. Great work. Just one quick question, the cellular radio is still not working that means that we can't make phone call, right?

    The long awaited miracle has arrived. Thank you all for your support, without it I could not have done it.

    With the newest flipped build, does the WiFi work at all? Or is it still the same?

    Sadly it's the same. But be assured, now I have one of the top developers from ubuntu helping me a little. Thanks to his help, we are the first device to have the font issues fixed and with latest drivers (the old fix was to revert to older drivers). It's still not perfect, but usable; I will post some new screenshots soon.

    From now on, this project has a new member: Please welcome cctoro!
    He has the n8013, so he will be building and testing images for that device.
