Ubuntu - Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can anyone port the Ubuntu preview which has previously released?
Thanks

It's not that easy.
We'll have to wait for Canonical to post their guide.

I can, but why? It's useless at the moment, can't launch most apps. - Can't even change date. And it's laggy even on my Nexus 7 so why even try for the ace.
Anyway, I'll sure do it, once it's stabler.

I'm pretty sure you can't. As big time developers like Lloir can't even get it working on their custom devices which have the right ARM version.
Anyway, you can't just go around asking for ports. you'll have to do it yourself or be patient.

ICS for HeroC

What do you guys think, does our lowly HeroC have what it takes? Also, even if it does, do we have the devs left to get it going? Sorry...I'm all geeked up for the announcement tonight. Plus, I'm not due for an upgrade until March...eek!

What do you think?
And, also.. please move this to the Q/A or General section.
Sorry. Will do once I'm on my pc. Not sure I can move it from xda app.
Also, I'm hoping for some official cm8 love or something along those lines.
Eventually!? At least I hope we do.

That would be awesome if it did but i believe that you can do it seeing that you got other things working like HC and Sense 3.5.
I know this is in the wrong section. Anyone tell me how to move it to general? Just thought I would see who else was psyched for ICS like me.

We probably have to wait till a low end device comes out running it, or it gets ported to a similar device, like we had to wait for the Pico. Only time will tell. . .

Man i know you can get it to work You done some pretty amazing stuff on here and if you cant maybe you can get Jaybob to help you or something
with the navigation buttons at the bottom, it might be a little cramped. sure we can change the dpi to like 120 but my phone lags when i try to make everything smaller and fit more on the screen.
Or if the navigation buttons can be removed... who knows. Of course even cramped ICS would be great on our Heroes.
Im almost positive we will get some sort of port of ICS. Ever since froyo the companies have been saying that the hero simply can not handel the new updates because of minimal system requirements. However I red an article with a Q&A about ICS, and one of the questions was what are the minimal system requirements for ICS? The anser was none that i can think of right now. ICS is meant to bring Android tablets and phones toghether in developmental terms. Google is trying to unify android, rather than have phones rounning one type of android and tablets another. It has even been said that ICS will be available for older devices of up to one year old or so. But in closeing im prety optimistic about a port for the Hero, and probably sooner than latter.
Considering that our devs got the source now I'm sure were gona see ICS can't wait
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
I downloaded the beta version of ICS for hero to see how it looks and feels it"s a little buggy it has some things that need to be worked out like not being able to pair with bluetooth device and bluetooth turning off completely and not being able to turn it back on again... Also when trying to turn on wifi hotspot the phone just hangs there saying turning on wifi screen I let it run for 5 minutes before I rebooted my phone... This rom is in early stages of devoplement and if and when the stuff that isn't working gets fixed I see this as my next rom of choice... Nice work jaybob on a job will done and a million thanks to you...

Open webOS

Just seen the Open webOS ported to the Galaxy Nexus on xda's front page.
Really interested to know whether someone would be porting it to the nexus 7?
I know its early days for Open webOS now but, I really enjoy using it on my Pre.
Thanks
Better get on it

The best things always get ported to the best devices
Oh god yes. I want webOS on this thing - just for multitasking alone. Android doesn't even come close (and yes, I tried V6 supercharger, mcTweaker, changing my kernel, Overskreen, changing OOM values, ROM Toolkit, all the build.prop tweaks, Startup Manager, Autokill Memory Manager)

I had a Touchpad for a while.. WebOS was nice... was always missing too many need applications to be able to use it all the time, but I truly did enjoy it.
Well, apparently there's a Dalvik emulator coming out soon - so Android apps will appear, just like on Blackberry Playbook.
Besides, I really like how webOS is closer to proper Linux - to the point where people can run distros as cards.
Thank god it's not just me wanting this, fingers crossed the team behind the nexus port releases their methods and findings soon.
I've been lurking around this since I heard the news of open webOS, well this and native Linux .

Well, that'll take a lot of work - pretty much the only similarity between Android and webOS is the Linux kernel.
However apparently there is some sort of an emulator in development.

Anybody wants to start a bounty thread?
I'd throw in some money for a daily driver port (aka working wifi and gpu acceleration).
I want a port for the Nexus One, G2X, and Nexus 7, maybe the G1 or even then Archos 5 7th generation. If I had free time I would give it a try. It would be my first time but they posted the sources and some basic instructions, so I just have to look around for what I need to change to specific devices.

It probably will be incredibly difficult for any pre-2011 phone.
Please focus on Nexus 7 first.
Im sure it wont be long before we see it on the N7, I am no wiz when it comes to this but I would assume that if it is possible to get it working on the Nexus then it shouldnt be to much more of an effort to get it going on the N7 being in the Nexus family and all.

hehe , calm down cuz u will have vanilla android working out of the box ( so cm or aokp will work too i think )
Just means they haven't released source for it yet, nothing more significant than that. Sometimes stuff isn't finished enough for release, or they have licensing issues with a driver or two. Google *always* eventually release though.

... confused : how open sourced are other Nexus devices?
I think some of you are overreacting. It's not in AOSP, YET.
From the man himself
To clarify: Nexus 4 is not supported in AOSP at the moment: no source
files, no binaries.

Well, you can download AOSP, type a few commands and have something that boots a nexus device fairly quickly. I haven't looked too hard at it but assume there are some binary drivers that get thrown in there.
Google haven't release the build system for the N4 yet - OTOH you could probably hack one together yourself (none of the hardware on the N4 is new to android so presumably the drivers are out there somewhere).
All nexus devices are trivial to update via fastboot, and have builtin unlocks, and the N4 doesn't change that.
Fingers crossed it will be I need the AOSP browser haha
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2
My guess is that they cant open source a lot of the qualcomm stuff for the modem and the SOC. The TI OMAP is a very open SOC, but they are basically the only ones in the business that do that so if someone want to tinker with GPU, SOC or modem drivers the nexus 4 will not be as open as the galaxy nexus.

Why not just download the Galaxy Nexus system image direct from Google.

I want to port some features which the Galaxy doesnt have.
So download the Nexus 4 stock image and use that in your kitchen along side the GNex one
Well then why not grab the Nexus 4 system image from Google?
Cuz my kitchen doesnt work -.- java error and command not found errors

Maybe you should fix that. Have you used the kitchen before? If you don't have java configured properly you're just going to have tons of trouble trying to do any deving in the future.
Also, why are you trying to port to the Gnex from the N4? 4.2 OTA already rolled out to Gnex, everything from N4 should be there, except code specific to the device, like driver binaries and wireless charging support.

This. the only difference i noticed is HDR, which the hardware of the GN dosent support anyway.
The Launcher is different, HDR maybe? and idk what else.. but in the past I had ported roms (ics for s2) but that account got banned for no reason.
Cygwin was working in Windows 7 but when i upgraded to 8 pro it stopped working. ill try to fix it.
The launcher is identical?

Different wallpapers.
And i'd like to have Chrome instead of the browser, anyways ill just port it.
Wallpapers are separate to the launcher, and Chrome is obviously available from the Play Store.

Porting is usually sloppy...
So you want to make your life complicated to get a sloppier version to gain... nothing? Lol
And also, starting a thread with "Request" really shows you are not a self-entitled brat.

Miui port?

So I've tried my hand at porting miui to our device to no avail. It's actually making me reconsider this phone. Has anybody attempted a miui 8 port yet. I shot for 7. If we can get either working I'd actually keep this device for another two years. I absolutely love the hardware and it's hard to get rid of. 6 inch screen, front firing speaker, screw a fingerprint scanner. I have all of my files on my laptop.if anyone could be of assistance.

I'd prepare for all the haters to start posting about how chinese roms suck, we have a nexus, blah blah blah.......I'd be willing to test it for you when you get it booted, I haven't used miui in a long time, probably since I had my galaxy s3.

Oh yea. I'm prepared. Lol. I Pay no mind to it. I've almost given up on the 7 port. Wanna try my hand at v8. If enough of us come together I Believe we can get it ported. I ran across a guide for porting v7&8 to devices with snapdragon processors.

like others its been a while since I last used MIUI (back on my old htc one x). Id be happy to see it come to the nexus, im no professional dev but I will help/test how ever I can.
Hope you port global version ( no Chinese stuff)
I love to test you MIU.
