Save it

Code:

[Control][O] and press enter to confirm.

Update the main repository with the new gits

Code:

$ repo init -m default.xml

Now lets start syncing all

Code:

$ repo sync

If you was done something wrong you can remove all entire repo folder and start again

Code:

$ rm -Rf .repo

But that just will delete the repo folder, not the source code, so if run repo sync again will be much more faster.

Code:

$ repo sync

Building

Applying patches

Code:

$ repo start ubuntu-touch device/samsung/i9500 ubuntu/uchroot

Check if device is connected and ready

Code:

$ adb devices

Getting some files from current devices (3 files for me)

Code:

$ cd ~/vendor/cm
$ ./get-prebuilts
$ cd ~

Start the process

Code:

$ chmod 777 ~
$ repo selfupdate
$ source build/envsetup.sh
$ breakfast i9500
$ cd device/samsung/i9500
$ ./extract-files.sh
$ croot
$ brunch i9500

Wait while build finish
There could be errors about low memory or no left space on disk.
You can fix/prevent that increasing your swap area, running a low graphics desktop enviroment (lxde) and use ccache component activated (I think it is already activated and setting up).

Hello

You welcome.

So lets start.

I have a question about.

I found that ubuntu touch is for CM 10.1 but I just found an old git for cm 10.2 and advance work git for 11.0.

So there are problem using ptablet_10.1 with cm11.0 tree?

And I was searching on internet about fastboot mode for i9500 and found nothing about.

The bootloader mode says "odin mode" at top of the screen and adb or fastboot are able to detect it.

I used lscpi and no device listed, but on android booting and working, adb detect perfectly the device.

So am I need a driver for "odin mode" to be able to flash it?

I will in touch at working week, because I just can work on it at night.

I try once on my brother windows pc with odin and that app was able to detect the device on bootloader mode but I need to install some drivers from sdk folder.

Regards

Thanks

Hello

I was found this:

http://www.ubuntu-mobile.de/topic/124-ubuntu-touch-f%C3%BCr-galaxy-s4/

On the title tags says "i9500/i9505".
So may that "von.zip" could work or give us an idea of the final product.

Regards

Thanks

Can we expect a compiled build?

I know my comment is like a BUMP, because the previous post asked the same

Hello

I founded troubles with that.

Apparently I need to clone the repositories on github and create a branch to cm 10.1 and compile again.

But I don't have clue about how can I do it?

Thanks

Thank you for asking the question, but I do not know anything about building ROMs.
Is it an idea to ask a developer of a build for the i9505? Maybe they can help us.

tembares · Mar 22, 2014

All,

What is the status?
What has to happen to get this build moving?

rgshah3 · Mar 23, 2014

In your sign you refer you have an i9505. This is for the i9500! The difference is the processor. Make sure you use the right one.
AFAIK there is already a build for the i9505.

mazterjay · Mar 27, 2014

Yeah, I know. Thanks, but no thanks. I need this since I'm also working on Ubuntu Touch. Please don't interact if you have no relevant thing to say. Getting pissed of this.
