I've been playing with it in my spare time; got a build compiled but it doesn't get past the initial Galaxy S4 splash screen. Can't seem to be able to adb into it to pull a logcat. With my limited knowledge, I'm thinking it has something to do with the fact that Ubuntu's CM sources are building JB 4.2.1 and the kernel is 4.2.2. I don't know enough about what changes were made to CM's source to play nicely with Ubuntu Touch, so until I figure that out (or someone else beats me to it) it will still be a little while. Also, if anyone would like to help, preferably more experienced than myself, I'm always open to suggestions!

Because it is not ready for everyday use and I believe the only phone that was announced to run it was the Galaxy Nexus.

[Q] ROM Kitchen for Galaxy Nexus

Does anyone have any information on whether a kitchen is available that will work with the Galaxy Nexus? I've tried the DSIXDA ROM Kitchen but haven't been able to get it to work properly. Would love to have something to make customizing ROMs a little easier.
Thanks!

It's been a while since anyone responded to this, but I would like to bump this page and ask if there is a kitchen app out there to help with customizing ROMs on the Galaxy Nexus.
Thank you in advance.
dsixda's kitchen works fine. The only thing that it has trouble with is deodexing things. I've had to deodex the files just using smali/baksmali myself.
Why not just build the ROM from source to your liking? Isn't that the purpose of AOSP?

i tried using the cmcompliler for linux but it is too difficult for my skill level. I know a lot about android/roms/kernels/etc but not enough about coding to build a rom from scratch. Or is it easier than I think? I would rather use windows if there is an easy way to compile or build a rom on windows.

Unfortunately not possible on Windows. Android can only be built from source on Linux.

It's easier than you think. It's a great project for learning a bit more about Android and learning a bit about Linux if you aren't familiar with it.

You could build it on Windows if you wanted to, but it would be more of a hassle than it would be worth. It's faster and easier to just install Virtualbox or similar and setup a VM to compile Android on. It may not be quite as fast as doing it via a native OS install, but it gets pretty close.

[Project] Ubuntu Nexus [CDMA]

So I have decided to take on putting ubuntu on the galaxy nexus. I am using a reconstructed img based on the HD2's build. To Start i will be using the same methond to boot ubuntu nativly on the nexus s. So this thread is to keep people updated on whats going on. just so everyone knows since i am busy with other projects there will be no eta. Once finished i will start a dev thread under the Galaxy nexus CDMA Development section.
UBUNTU NEXUS
UPDATE Progress
Working on kernal and recompiling a boot.img
Also If anyone is willing to help please let me know Shoot me a PM. If your interested in testing the builds also PM me,
thanks ~ Globed

Good luck with this. I will be following even though I dont have any interest in having Ubuntu on my phone unless maybe in a dual boot function.
Well eventually thats what im shooting for.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=889433 <-- this is the thread for the hd2
but eventually once a stable build is created i want to have dual boot feature so.
Hoping the best for this with dual boot, thanks in advance for your efforts :thumbup:

This will be fully native right? As opposed to ones that use a vnc server/client?
Yes this will be fully native and evenually dual boot. Once a stable build is ready for release

Erm... "kernel"
why just because you can? i will follow this for knowledge but don't see the point ... isnt ubuntu making a moblie version of the os themselves with a possible hardware phone too? i dont think it really has a place ... never the less i wish you good luck
ubuntu would be best for tablets not phone imo
I'm not putting a desktop version of Ubuntu on the phones. And yes but its based on android GUI and android code. I am doing this because it becomes an option..... something different . And I had an hd2 the idea itself and the actual build was pretty interesting. But think about a mobile true Linux device. All the possabilities

Also I want to make point of this Ubuntu mobile OS will be similar to android with an effing unity interface. Personally I hate the unity interface. By porting Linux Ubuntu this opens the doors for things like idk for ex programming custom gui's. Ha aha if somebody wishes a true mobile hacking unit lol not that I support this fashion of hacking. But again its DIFFERENT. But all in due tine need to get through my exams

If I can propose something, please have the RTL8187 module already built in with USB host active!
Can't wait to see development!!!!
If you need beta testers let me know! I'm more than happy to help with this project.
Awesome idea USB functionality I already incorporated and I will let everyone know on a beta

Also, provide kernel source and headers so if anyone who wants to build new modules/drivers it will be easier!
I would look at Backtrack-ARM too. I am running it in chroot but having native would be awesome! If we can find elite engineers to convert our broadcom wifi and make it monitor/injection working would be like the n900 but with way more power and bigger/better screen for mobile pentesting!

Running Linux natively?

Hey all,
I'm familiar with the process whereby you can run variants of Linux, usually Ubuntu, in a chroot environment then connect to it via VNC. But has anybody tried to port an ARM version over to our device yet? If not, why not? Is it not possible? Arch running on my GN would be a dream.

I know ubuntu works and works seaminglessly well for the Nexus One through the use of a VNC and some other stuff.
I remember following this guide: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...29tLnpwd2Vic2l0ZXMudWJ1bnR1aW5zdGFsbHBhaWQiXQ..

As I said in the OP, I know you can do it this way. But is it possible to run it directly on the device?

Ah, well, if I'm not completely mistaken, I know the Ubuntu team is developing a standalone operating system for android devices, but I don't know when and if it will be completed.
As of now, though, I doubt there is anything standalone.
They did something like this for the Xoom, I'd love to see it on the Galaxy Nexus.

When to expect Paranoid Android on the Note 2?

Strangely i didn't found people asking about that while searching on google...
Soon enough
Imilka has signed up for Note 2 dev list so we can expect a PA
Atleast i can say it WILL come. :good:
As ParanoidAndroid is based on cyanogenmod afaik, i`am afraid it still will take a while mate

It depends on Samsung, they have to publish the scource codes of the kernel and other hardware components or CM cannot go ahed and start coding.

They have posted. But the people in the US can't get a note 2 in their hands until November. That's the troubke

argh,
really, if paranoid (or at least cm10/11) won't be available soon, that will make me buy these LG Nexus or whatever else Google may show us
Right now, there are no official porters for CM10 for the galaxy note.
Samsung, by not releasing exynos/framework documentation, basically has made it too difficult to develop CM10 for it.
The Note 1 developers basically got fed up and quit until Samsung makes it more practical.
So no CM10 means no PA.
We can hope that a new developer takes the reigns, but as the other poster said: we're in for a long wait.

We have no official CM porters? since when are porters official its either original CM or ported CM
Anyways , atleast im more than 100% sure we WILL get ported cyanogen mod, and most probably PA too.
now ive used ported CM 10 on around 3 of other devices, and take my word if you havent tried it yet, a port totally depends on which device CM it is ported from. E.g. If we get ported cm 10, it will atleast be as much performing as CM 10 on S 3, whose hardware is resembling, because the porters will take as much help as they can from CM10 of S3...
And if CM10 may be ported, why not PA? its not like first CM has to be ported in order to port a PA second
Thats kernel source, not hardware sources, they are two separate things the CM team need both to make a fully working CM rom for this device (and any other modern Samsung device)

[DEV REQUEST] Ubuntu Touch port to N7100?

Hi everyone,
As you probably have heard, the Ubuntu Touch (alpha) image has been released for the Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, 7 and 10.
I would like to request porting it to our N7100 devices!
If I could I would do it myself but I have never ported anything.. However, if I can help in any way I will gladly do what I can!
For reference:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Porting
Since Galaxy S3 was one of the best-selling smartphone, I hope will be a port for it and consequentially for note 2 that has the same hardware platform
its not the place to Request a port.

big boooi no need to request, the porting instructions just came online and seem as "easy" as building CM from source.
its only natural that ports will be available on most devices.

There is no point of porting it currently, as most things don't work very well..
This is for devs, to test their apps. Not for users.. (yet )

I am aware of this.. But porting also has it's own malfunctions and problems. By porting an alpha release some of these problems can be solved before the stable release, was my thought
I am building a Ubuntu ROM now, as it was said before, don't expect much the ROM, as it is still being developed. But I am pretty sure you guys like me, just want a taste of it.

Hi Dev,
Ubuntu Touch is fabulous and it looks great.
I see you were working hardly last month in porting Ubuntu touch in SGN2.
But this month no update, not a single post. Is this project ALIVE or being DISCONTINUED or DEAD???
Dev pl work on it, we have lots of hope on you.
Thanks
