Ubuntu for Tablets for Nexus 7 [Official Dev Preview] - Nexus 7 General

It's not the desktop Ubuntu I'm talking about, but Ubuntu for tablets which got unveiled a few days ago just got released on the Nexus 7 and Nexus 10! Along with it Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4 got Ubuntu for Phone preview today.
Official Guide for Installation Process(Needs desktop linux environment) - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Install
Download(Official link) - http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch-preview/quantal/mwc-demo/
Flash grouper zips from TWRP to install, flashing ubuntu recovery can be skipped.
Like every dev preview, this also has got some bugs-
Runs in portrait mode by default. (no side stage)
Camera, video decoding and audio output do not function.
Greeter screen is misaligned.
No multi-user login.
Can't install this right now as I don't have a Linux machine nearby, will update soon if I get a machine and time! If you install it, please do post here!

It's copying the zip file to the root of the sdcard. I'm following the instruction on this page to the letter and so it is actually hiding everything behind a little program/script called phablet-flash.

Why in the world are they working on 13.04 but release the touch of 12.10! I'm so confused

i think he has a valid point - 13.04 is significantly peppier than 12.10.

Re: Ubuntu for Tablets for Nexus 7 Released! [Official Dev Preview]
I want to try this but first can someone post or link me to a way to fully backup and restore my current rom afterwards?
Thanks a bunch.
Edit: Is it possible to backup with rom manager, later flash stock again and restore? Which partition does ubuntu tablet mess with?

I'm guessing 12.10 is more stable. Newer isn't always necessarily better.

risking a dumb question here, but can the touch preview be installed on Tilapia? it says Grouper, but then it says Nakasi OR Nakasig, should you want to restore Android. but there are no images for Tilapia, only Grouper. I know 3G probably wouldn't work, and that's fine..

Giving it ago
Cheers for the heads up downloading it on my nexus as i type
seems to be hanging in terminal with this quantal-preinstalled-boot-armel+grouper.img: OK

I'm sittin there myself...wondering if it will reboot it or if is should...
Any progress so far?
EDIT nvm there we go

When it says that the Nexus 7 defaults to portrait mode, does it mean that that is all that is available? Or can it be changed to landscape? The main reason I want this is to try out sidestage.

Has anyone tried this out on the 3G version yet?

[ROM][ICS]Ideapad K1 Official Release

Hi everyone,
As most of you know Lenovo released the official ICS build for the Ideapad K1 today. The new bootloader will not allow me to boot into recovery partition, so no custom recovery for now. Unfortunately the build released by Lenovo also lacked Google Apps. I have added in the latest Google Apps package including Face Unlock. I have posted two versions of the Rom both rooted and not rooted. The non rooted is 100% stock with Google Apps. The rooted has the latest Superuser.apk and su binary and the latest busybox, and the boot.img has been modified to allow adb remount.
This will wipe your entire device. You will lose all apps and data. I am in no way responsible for your device, as always flash at your own risk.
Instructions
Extract .zip file
In windows:
Double click flash-windows.bat
In linux:
cd into extracted directory
chmod +x flash-linux.sh
sudo ./flash-linux.sh

awsome great job!!!!:good:
Awesome work!! CM9/10 in the near future after kernel source? I volunteer to test if you need testers.
i was about to install this an i realized i left my data cable at work. i guess i get to sleep tonight after all
I know this is probably a dumb question but do I need the apx drivers installed? I'm having problems getting them installed with the official lenovo package ones... Maybe someone could link me to a different place to find them...

thank you so much khanning88 for this and all your hard work! lenovo should hire you and make you their senior dev.. awesome job! thanks again! =)
Great job man. Just installed. Looks fantastic!
Sent from my K1 using Tapatalk 2
First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to khanning88 for getting things done at this high speed.
However,I have issues on the Play Store. As a number of apps including Google Maps and Chrome cannot be downloaded directly via Play Store, which it said "Your device isn't compatible with this edition". So I have to grab them unofficially. Can we pretend the device to be a Xoom for maximum app compatibility, just like what you did in the rooted HC rom? Or is there any other solution?
Thanks in advance.
I respect your work.great share!
Thanks man ... downloaded both versions. Will flash mine with rooted version and my friend's device using unrooted version.
Recovery?
Awesome work - flashed root version - worked flawlessly.
Now, how can we reinstall CWM recovery - it seems to have disappeared? Installing the special recovery apk and opening does not reboot into recovery. Does anyone know if flashing ICS removed the recovery partition?
camera not working plus some apps dont install.
Flashed rooted version which worked OK. Camera app starts but the screen is black. Camera worked OK on HC 3.2.1. Tablet feels less responsive also.
Lots of my standard apps don't install, play store says they are not compatible. These are apps not games. Like flipboard and my banking app.
At this point I think I'll go back to HC until these items are fixed. And I guess this won't happen until Lenovo release the source and khanning can fix up all the Lenovo mistakes.
Disappointed with what Lenovo produced, given the time they spent working on it. Its a 3 out of 10 from me.

Camera works fine for me both pics and vids. Tablet seems much more responsive to me. I agree Lenovo did a poor job. Khanning came in in two hours and tripled their output. I have been working on modifing the build prop to get more apps to work.
Excellent work khanning. As far as overclocking goes, would something like that have to wait until the source is released? Or could a custom kernel supporting this be released without it? Just curious, I like to make things go faster...
Only downside is this came out the day before my work week (Fri-Sun) really kicks in gear, maybe by the time I get around to tinkering with this more questions will be answered.
Either way, khanning you really should be on salary by Lenovo for all the business youre saving that company. Thank you again!
These are the build Prop setting I used to get better EA and gameloft compatibility. I am not an expert on build Props and take no responsibility for your actions. Back up your build before making changes. Gmaps and chrome still do not show up in the market with theses settings.

The non booting kernels may have some library damage,which is associated with the screen
Second reason : in init.rc the bootclasspath must be changed it might be the link to an sense framework

Okay, I'm going to compile this and go to Judo because I can.
When I get back you might/might not see a build uploaded. If you don't then don't blame me.
but if you do then please do the following:
0) Set up ADB on your computer and backup stuff
1) Download it
2) Clear data as normal
3) Install it via Clockworkmod recovery (if possible)
4) Run the following...
adb dmesg > dmesg.txt
adb logcat > logcat.txt
at the same time to log everything your phone does.
Once this is done, please use logcat.miui.us, pastie.org or pastebin.com to report all the logs so I can read them later.
If it boots, screen cap it along with everything that's working. Please also include the recovery version you used too.

Want to develop my own ROM, but don't know where to start.

I have been using custom roms on my Nexus 6 for a while now, but really want to try to develop my own. I have some programming experience, but would like to know if anyone has any guides on how to get started. I would mainly like it to be for my personal use, with only the features I need. I would like it to be AOSP based too. If anyone could offer any help it would be much appreciated.
Learn to build AOSP for your phone first, and how to use git, then go from there.

Thanks. I am installing ubuntu right now.
The hardest part is troubleshooting a build failure. You can find step-by-step instructions on the internet, but going through logs and troubleshooting is a PITA. You have to start somewhere and going through the troubleshooting process will give you loads of experience. I've seen people progress very fast once they get their feet wet. Good luck :good:

Many of us prefer Linux Mint. Close to Windows and stable. There are many good tuts for building from source. Look for tuts from Scrosler, FHEM and Syko. They all enter twined and and do tuts for N6.

Never had an issue building on Ubuntu at all. Built on many versions since Gingerbread. I never set mint up as a build environment. Mint is basically Ubuntu anyway so they should build identically. But I find Mint unstable in everyday use. Particularly the use of browsers

Android N preview supposedly being released March 9th 2016?

http://www.theverge.com/2016/3/9/11185872/android-n-developer-preview-features-report
The first preview build of Android N will be released to the public today with new features including a native split-screen mode, according to a report from 9to5Google. Citing an article from Ars Technica that was pulled after publication, 9to5Google says that the preview version of Android N includes a redesigned notification panel (with notifications that span the full width of the screen, and an edit button for quick changes), and improvements to the operating system's Doze feature, which will reportedly save battery whenever the screen turns off.
THERE'S ALSO A 'PICTURE IN PICTURE' MODE REPORTEDLY COMING
The biggest addition though, seems to be a new split-screen mode for multitasking. This reportedly works on both phones and tablets, and, like other features included in the preview, will be given to developers to test before it's released to the public later this year. 9to5Google says that Ars Technica also reported the existence of a new "picture in picture" mode which sounds similar to that in iOS 9, letting users shrink windows to a corner of their screen while browsing other apps.
The original Ars story also reportedly said that the preview will be available for the Nexus 6P, Nexus 5X, Nexus 6, Pixel C, Nexus 9, Nexus Player, and the General Mobile 4G. Google is also said to be launching a new "Android Beta Program." All of this information is extremely provisional at the moment, but if the Ars Technica report is true, we can expect to hear more about Android N — and its new features — some time soon.
I would be surprised if it actually releases today, but one can hope!!
It's out! http://storage.googleapis.com/androiddevelopers/shareables/preview/shamu-npc56p-preview-54b13c67.tgz
Currently unlocked bootloader and running twrp 3.0
That being said how would I go about installing this image? The same way as the other images? Also, if I do this, will I be able to revert back?
Developer preview? It's still functional as a phone?
Awesome, thanks! I just downloaded the Shamu preview from http://developer.android.com/preview/download.html. Has anyone extracted and installed the images on their rooted 6.0.1? I'd rather not be the first, lol!
Official Release Page:
https://developer.android.com/preview/index.html
Having an OTA of the N preview is Awesome! I want to try it as soon as the site is availble, but I'm not sure how friendly the N preview will be for project fi this early. anyone else on Fi going to try the preview?

I wasn't expecting that, well safe to say this will be last of the preview for us. Safe to say folks with the OG Nex5 won't get android N

Probably the coolest features, for me anyway, is built-in options to calibrate the display color (in System UI Tuner) AND change the DPI (in Display settings). I'm not sure if these will make it to the final build, but I really do hope so.
PS: you need to sign up for the android beta program to actually receive OTA updates https://g.co/androidbeta
as stated here: http://developer.android.com/preview/overview.html

The build.prop wifi tether method doesn't seem to work with the N preview at least in the traditional way. Has anyone managed to get it to work?

Yup looks like but for vulkan api only. I don't it'll be much problem with that. As u can see aosp 7 builds are already up for nexus5 , one plus one and few other devices which are 800 or 801 .
I hope stil working on s5 sm g900f
Can't wait for CM14, although qualcomm won't release new drivers for gpu. So I do not know, if it is worth to wait.. But our devs are geniuses, maybe the current driver packages will work, too.. But at first, I have to root my phone, what I don't like to do, because 0x1 is bad with warranty till January.. hmmmmmm... But Paranoid Android, CM14, ...

Alright, got ubuntu installed (windows partition had a heart attack afterwards lmao) so now Ill do my best to follow that guide and see what happens i guess... Should build pretty fast since this machine has a i7 3770 and 16gb of ram and it seems the guide says 8gb of ram is fine.
Alright guys, i got to the part where I have to sync the repo, so i pasted the link in the cm device tree github page that is in the "clone or download" dropdown (ends with .git) and i get this error in the screenshot... got any ideas?

No idea.. I googled a bit but i didn't find anything exactly like that, maybe you can just try another time, I'm not an expert developer, so I just hope someone could help us.

This is a git thing. Basically the branch name has changed. It's now in the staging branch so:
-b staging/cm-14.0
Hey guys just for us kind information we can hope cm14 aswell as ROMs based on it. Look this post by aicp developer/contributor . he has booting aicp n dev build. The awesome thing yo notice in this post is network indicators. Looks like ril is working also I think its usable too. But we have to wait a lil more to get public build.
