Help porting to d2vzw - Ubuntu Touch Ports to Android

Any devs want to help port this to the Verizon S3? I have tried but cannot seem to succeed...
Yes, I know someone did this back in February, but it was just the live demo version... I have been in contact with him and he doesn't seem to want to be of much help. All he said was "It should work with the newer releases", which it did not. I have no idea what he did to make that edited version of CM 10.1 work with the quantal preview, but I would like to somehow get it working with a stable release of saucy.
I have tried many things, and have not had success with any of them as of yet.
If someone could take a look at the files and figure out what needs to be done, I will do it just tell me what to do.
The original stuff can be found here: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/39299-romwip-ubuntu-touch-on-d2vzw-dev-previewphantom-022213/
nightly updated builds from ubuntu can be found here: http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch/daily-preinstalled/
I really don't have much experience with porting, but if someone would be willing to partner up on this with me, I would be so grateful.. I really can't be the only Verizon S3 owner itching to try out Ubuntu Touch...

Really, nobody...?

you're gunna want to follow this guide to get you started up. I know there's someone working on the d2Att port which should be compatible with your d2vzw. I myself have been attempting to port this to the d2's as well but have had no luck. To the people that say it's as easy as porting cm: no it's not. I guess in theory it is but with all of the kernel modifications and stuff required to get it up and running correctly it's just a LOT of work. I hope you have better luck than i have had and let me know if you need any help, i'll try to be of some assistance.

If I had any experience with porting stuff other than pulling cm kernel, and a few other things and such from a working aosp rom and using it on an aosp rom from another device.... Anyways if I could I'd help, if I can quickly be taught, I'll contribute the crap out of myself into this. Official ubuntu touch is supposed to be out on October 17th according to rumors, around same time as ubuntu 13.10 release

Thanks for the replies guys, I will take a look at that guide.
I know it'll be out Oct 17th, which I am excited as hell about, cause its 3 days away lol. :good:
However, I don't believe our device is one of the ones "officially" supported, so either way we will have to figure out a port... I think...
I guess I will wait and see what happens Thursday and take it from there...

Yeah, I'd say ours isn't official but.... It'll be official for others and therefore maybe easier to get everything working

I did a little searching this morning but was unable to find anything.
I'm probably gonna just give it a week and look again, but if you find anything lemme know.
I'm gonna read that porting guide again tonight and see if I can make sense of it..

Same here, I've looked through it multiple times, a good majority of it makes no sense to me...
I'm pretty sure whoever said it was as simple as porting CyanogenMod was a liar lol cuz if it was that simple I'm sure we would've figured it out by now..

Part of the problem is that it isn't just another port. Given it's as much Ubuntu as Android (more actually), a fair bit of Linux competency is required as well.

Ics sdk port

I'm seeing a lot of devices getting ics sdk ports or atleast starting to(in pre alpha stage) I was wondering if anyone wanted to attempt that on our d3s because it doesn't look like we're getting cm9 soon because were not even officially supported for cm7.

An ICS SDK port is would not be worth it. ICS will only come when the source drops.

The Nexus will be out before the month's end, and the source code will drop in the following 2-4 weeks. If someone built it from SDK, they'd have to start it all over again after the source drops.
ya but that means source wont drop till xmas and then by the time someone has a working build moto will be releasing there official build so it doesnt really do anything for us

If Motorola ever actually pushes out an ICS update for us, it'll be at the very earliest the end of next spring. They have newer and "better" phones that they'll update first.

It might be a fun exercise, and fun to play around with, but sdk ports are buggy and wont have the framework that really makes up ICS. It would basically GB + some ICS features/apps, since all we have access to is some apps and what they ask for

I hope no one is wasting time working on a port from a Software Development Kit (SDK) emulator "ROM" that is incomplete and lacking. SDK's are for app developers to test, not for ROMs to be be made.
Once the source hits....you'll have a better chance of getting ICS, AND a much better and complete ROM.
I really hope no one is working on an SDK port "ROM" for the D3.

The current devs we have are still working on the roms they first put out. We will not get an SDK port. We'll start to see ICS when the source is released.

Just to be clear, I'm not working on an ICS port from the SDK. Sorry :/
While I applaud jellydroid13's enthusiasm, there is still alot of work to be done getting the D3 to be more AOSP friendly. This includes working on getting the audio drivers working correctly, BT updated, overlays which don't have PBUNDERUN events every 30 seconds, camera routines to iron out, etc.
Fixing these issues in Gingerbread where our kernel matches up with the source, gives us a better chance at then migrating working source to a true ICS port later.
There is also a fairly sizable kernel hurdle to jump as well.
Just my 2-cents.

[ROM][MDL] Untitled ROM v1.00 | EXPERIMENTAL!!

I'm gonna keep this clean and right to the point. For the past few days to a week I have been messin around with my S4 and I decided to make a rom based off of Stock MDL.
THIS ROM IS EXPERIMENTAL. I HAVE NOT, I REPEAT HAVE NOT TESTED THIS. THIS WILL BE TESTED BY THE PUBLIC AS THIS ROM IS GOING TO BE FOR THE PEOPLE.
Please read the following!
- This ROM is "Untitled" because I haven't figured out a name yet
- No screenies until confirmed that it boots, etc.
- No change log until everything is confirmed by myself and others
-Everyone who tests WILL GET CREDIT! I PROMISE!
- I will complete this thread once this ROM is for sure working.​
download!​
MINE
One more for me!!!
Can we get more information on this build so we know what we are flashing? What did you put in and take out compared to stock?
So... You haven't tested and you want us to? Lol? Like first just said. We need a little more info.

This ROM is themed, completely de-bloated. No signs of Sprint bloat at all. It is running STOCK KERNEL. I will change the kernel once more development starts.
The only reason i need this tested is because I took themeing into my own hands, and im a noob with theming. So if it works, awesome!, if it does not, ie. boot loop, etc. Then i will be back at the drawing board!

CM 10.1?

So I'm just curious, is there anyone taking on the Cyanogenmod 10.1 task for the HTC First? I'm not seeing a lot about it and just wanted to ask. Thanks!

I second this as well. Thanks for bringing this up.
We've got at least one phenomenal dev (Jmz) working on this phone, so I would expect to see CM at some point. The kernel was just released, and prior to that, there wasn't much that could be done other than the stock rom. Despite that, he gave us Sense 4+. I don't want to speak for him, and certainly voicing a request is the best way to show interest, but I'd say be patient.
All that said, I cannot wait for CM!

Partially I agree, but partially I don't. He said in the thread for his Sense 4+ ROM that he's currently working on another big app project and that he doesn't have the First as a priority. That's what I gathered at least, but I'm still thankful there's something out there and that he's put the time in

Just remember... GPe is NOT AOSP. It's still the same ol' Sense kernel... It just /looks/ like AOSP. And, additionally, we have a functioning GPe ROM port for our Sprint Ones floating around.
We also have a really stable CM 10.2 nightly which I'm using as my daily driver.
Can't wait to see what you come up with.

I would absolutely absolutely absolutely love you if you could get AOKP on this phone. Life would be perfect and glorious.
AOSP style roms are desperately needed on this phone., I love this device but hate the lack of development for it. I wish I was more talented with technology or I would try cooking something up myself. Anyway's I'm looking forward to your progress good man and I will be following your post's diligently.
What's the update here? It's cool with me if things are still "two weeks" away. But whether or not it's still actually happening would be nice to know. I'm just hoping that Zombienaut still wants to make this happen.
On a similar vein, if one were a complete newb, does anyone know how that person could learn enough to be able to tweak AOKP for addition to this phone? How much work would it take to learn, and how/where would one go about getting started?
It's been a long and frustrating ordeal. Trying to work on this while having a job and going to school is making it take longer then expected. Progress is seemingly well, however. The ROM boots, but without working data, WiFi, etc. So please keep patient.
