Ubuntu you install at your own risk! Neither I nor anyone else is responsible for everything that is written here!


Android applications in Ubuntu do not work and will not work. Use multiboot if you need Android.


Build info:

ubuntu-touch-preview / - builds based on Android, Ubuntu works through the root directory (chroot) as an add-on - therefore the preview.

ubuntu-touch / - builds, based on Ubuntu touch itself, Android here plays only the role of a link and is located in the LXC container.


To see daily releases, you must use the devel-proposed channel: phablet-flash ubuntu-system - channel devel-proposed - boottrain

The easiest way to install on rooted devices is throughMultiROM Managerfrom google play.
MultiROM Recovery and the necessary Ubuntu files are downloaded by the program itself, the only thing that needs to be done manually is to find and flash the kernel with kexec-hardboot patch.
Visit the Multirom thread atXDAfor a list of compatible kernels and additional information.

Ubuntu touch manager

Stumbled upon an interesting file manager for Ubuntu
Ubuntu Touch Manager is a new, intuitive application for Ubuntu users, allowing them to manage their devices on the Ubuntu Touch mobile platform.
Ubuntu Touch Manager offers screenshots for smartphones / tablets, as well as a tool for downloading and sending files to a device. Ubuntu Touch Manager is a third-party application submitted by the developer Szymon Waliczek.
To install the program into your Ubuntu operating system, the user needs to open a terminal window (keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Alt + T) and insert the following commands (successively, pressing Enter after each)
:
All commands to perform from root

sudo add-apt-repository ppa: majster-pl / ubuntu-touch-manager
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y install ubuntu-touch-manager
After installation, you need to restart the session,run the program with the sudo parameter otherwise it will not transfer files.

The Ubuntu Touch Manager application supports Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin), Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal) and Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringail) operating systems

Screenshots are made via a PC using adb. It is written through the shell (adb shell) - / system / bin / screencap -p /home/phablet/Pictures/screen_.png

As I understand it, the nightly that they are showing us now is like a demo version of the system ... That is, contacts, some data, settings, are already specially driven there ... And a lot of it is simply locked. Most likely, there is still an assembly in which it works much more, but it is specially held until the release ... For now, put it - it makes no sense at all, even the phone does not work ...
Everything slows down and is buggy, but 90% of the functionality just doesn’t work - there are stubs ... I don’t know if there is a certain release at the end of May, so they have a hidden version where at least something works :)

Of course it is possible) only xs who will do this



Rep: (35)
A multiboot Android + Ubuntu would be a very good option, can anyone decide to do this, the phone is not some kind of average statistical Samsung or HTC, no matter how nexus)

Android + Ubuntu ultiboot would be a very good option

Yes, if there was such a multi-boot, it would already be used on some top-end devices ...

Files to download

3G support has been added, all that they promised to do at the end of May is done.
Set up a connection through a PC, enable through commands in the terminal. Next week they’ll make an indicator
inclusion in the bar.
So here it is, the first Ubuntu Touch build with working 3G data connection.

http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-tou...ed/20130601.1/(please flash using phablet-flash, build id>= 147)

In a big picture, we added data connection support at the oFono RILD modem, and also added oFono support in Network Manager, so you can use NM to also handle your 3G data connections.

Using NM helps us as it's the default stack used by our desktop, and also what is managing our wireless connection in Touch already.

Follows the steps needed to make a data call with your phone, running Ubuntu Touch:

1) Create a mobile broadband connection via NetworkManager on a system running standard Ubuntu Desktop:
1.1) Run 'nm-connection-editor'
1.2) Click Add.
1.3) Select Mobile Broadband
1.4) Follow the steps in the wizard to choose your provider; or edit to specify the correct APN settings for your provider's phone 3G data features.

2) Copy the created file from / etc / NetworkManager / system-connections /<connection>to the mobile device:

You can use adb push<connection>/ data / ubuntu / etc / NetworkManager / system-connections /<connection>

Make sure the file is owned by root: root (600 as well) (inside the Ubuntu container):
$ sudo chown root: root / etc / NeworkManager / system-connections /<connection>
$ sudo chmod 600 / etc / NeworkManager / system-connections /<connection>

3) On the device, run:

nmcli con up id "<connection>"

This will activate the connection and bring you online, setting routes and all.

To disconnect:

nmcli con down id "<connection>"

To show status:

nmcli dev

Next week we'll be adding support to easily connect and disconnect via an indicator, which will remove the need of running the command by hand. For proper shell access while using the phone / tablet, please install the ubuntu-terminal-app package

Hello everyone!) How much is ubuntu suitable for everyday use? How are things with heating and with the battery?



Rep: (69)
payk27 , in general, nothing has changed from previous versions .. nothing works-) but about the battery consumption, I already wrote about it, it is unlikely that someone will provide you with specifics, since no one will test this on a non-working rom`e ..
