Vega 56/64 Ubuntu Setup (Graphics, ROCm, OpenCL) - PC Hardware for Linux Developers

I'm opening this thread since one of our goals in GPU reviews is to test not only how they work but how to set them up. This will be done using the Powercolor Red Devil Vega 56 but should apply to any Vega graphics card.
OS: Ubuntu 17.10
Kernel: 4.15 rc5 (AMDGPU)
Graphics: Obtain firmware from here, move to /lib/firmware/amdgpu. Run update-initramfs and reboot. It's that easy.
AMDGPU-PRO Testing: 17.40 seems to run without issue if you don't run updates from 17.10. I've had a recurring issue, regardless of GPU, where the GUI is being broken unless I run dist-upgrade.
After this I had to remove amdgpu-pro for now to get it to boot to UI.
OpenCL/ROCm: Work in Progress.
ROCm installed fine from AMDGPU-PRO but when do clinfo I get nothing back. Install mesa OpenCL support and I get partial results from clinfo but missing a file.

[DEV] Samsung Galaxy W/Samsung Exhibit 2 4G Development

Okay so that we have a development topic (due to lack of a forum) for both phones which are basically the same.
What's going on the Galaxy W side:
Arco68 is porting CM9 to the phone
KezraPlanes is trying to port CM7 to the phone and making a custom stock ROM.
What's going on the Exhibit 2 side:
**placeholder text**
Try to keep general discussion to this topic I will post:
This will be a development topic.
So I was finally able to solve my issues with downloading the CM7 sources. Apparently it was in issue with the manifest.xml file which can be easily solved by doing this:
Add this in the beginning of the file where all the other equal references are:
<remote name="github-https"
fetch="https://github.com/"
review="review.cyanogenmod.com" />
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And replace the original line near the end of the file with this:
<project path="prebuilt" name="CyanogenMod/android_prebuilt" remote="github-https" />
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This fixes the download sources issue.
So r u gonna help us w/ cm9 an recovery

I'm not sure what issue you are referring to or what file ?
I have trouble with their instruction on the "building kernel from sources page"
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b gingerbread
repo sync -j8
is not working for me.
Do you suggest to modify the repo file or is that another procedure you are talking about ?

dswaggz was referring to this thread for the Exhibit 2.
My Galaxy W should arrive any day now (*impatient*) and I have an Exhibit 2. I think it'll be easy to cooperate on developing for both phones. I don't see anything in your first post about what's already working. (The phone is rooted, but beyond that, if you have any updates I'll look at post #1 )
Is it ok to PM you?

Depending on what error you are getting, it might work for you. It solved everything for me but I was using "repo sync -j16" (I was also following one tutorial from their wiki).
In my case the error made me unable to download the sources past 93%
Hi Guys,
Just have the phone for a week now, and i gotta say i really like this phone!
Had a LG Optimus Me before, but the Galaxy Wonder is so much more and better.
Hope there will be a CM 7 or 9 very soon.
Good luck with developping!
I was going to release a deodexed-rooted-arcokernel'd stock ROM today because I've figured out how to do it while helping Arco68 with ICS, but unfortunately the laptop I'm using right now (which is not the computer I use for dev'ing) corrupts the ROM everytime I build it.
I might bring back to my hometown (where I spend my weekends) my broken-screen laptop, connect it via HDMI to the TV in the living room and create the ROM there, since I have to go to my rented apartment to get some stuff anyway.
I'm aiming at a release tomorrow at the most.
Edit: I'm a ****ing idiot. I'm guessing it's going to work now,
Will it work for the exhibit 2

Any recovery.
The ROM is installing fine but apparently hangs. Apparently it's the Dalvik's fault, but I don't remember messing with it.
Gonna work a little on it today.

@matt_6288: the T679 is the T-Mobile USA Exhibit II. KezraPlanes' ROM is for the Galaxy W (a.k.a. I8150). You can't use it as-is, but we're working on ROMs for both.
Well thanks to my mentor Arco68, I have my hands on the newest Samsung FW for the Galaxy W which makes me re-start my work from scratch. But now that I'm working on a decent computer, I should be able to do things much faster.

[Discussion] "Ubuntu for Phones"

As you all know "Ubuntu for phones" has been released for the Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, Nexus 7 and Nexus 10. Lets discuss about this being a possiblity to port on our device.
A porting guide will be posted on Ubuntu website on 22nd (which is today in India).
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Porting#Stay_tuned.21
Great my fingers-crossed hope we can take advantage of Ubuntu in our phone

Dual Boot
Just curious, the porting guide says that Ubuntu runs over the stock kernel, if it's right, would it be possible to run it in dual boot?
Samsung Galaxy S (I9000) is having official support and currently the port is work in progress. Apart from the system partition size issue, if samsung galaxy s can run it, so can defy. This is very early stage and we can only presume such thing.

Should not be, most of the phones which can run cm 10.1 can easily handle this. Building it too doesn't look much difficult. "Ubuntu for phones" is surprisingly based on CM sources.
I've not enough speed for syncing sources, maybe Kayant or m11kkaa can build it for us.

Till it gets stable enough to worth porting, we will probably have CM 10.1 and kernel 3.0 working perfectly
A little update
I have successfully compiled the the ubuntu zip for our defy however, am facing a major issue at the moment which is the prebulit image that is needed to flash before installing the defy zip is not being installed for some reason Am currently trying to find why this is but no luck so far...... I think I may be something to do with our data partition..... maybe the preimage is too big for it??? that am not sure but I have just reduced it by deleting some images and videos included in the demo..... Hopefully it will decide to work this time

What exactly do you mean Is the phone not booting pass the black screen after the moto logo.... if so you need to make sure you have wipe data if not the quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip won't be installed and flashed the quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip first or it will never boot.

Ported Ubuntu Touch to Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000.

Possiamo stare tranquilli, anche noi avremo ubuntu su questo catorcio a carbone
are not the developer
but only an intermediary
Yesterday I ported Ubuntu Touch to Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000.
Build is here:
Mirror 1: http://ubuntuone.com/0aGhALmE950fNzSn5Tp8vg
Mirror 2: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B2am7h6Tso0TVGo0M1dWMHBkZXc/edit?usp=sharing
I've pushed code changes to github so you can build without patching stuff:
https://github.com/ali1234/android_device_samsung_aries-common
https://github.com/ali1234/android_hardware_samsung
https://github.com/ali1234/android_kernel_samsung_aries
Simple instructions for building+installing are here:
http://al.robotfuzz.com/~al/random/ubuntu-touch-galaxysmtd.txt
Thanks to +Ricardo Salveti for lots of help getting this working. It took me about 12 hours from start to finish (not including repo sync time). I have never used CyanogenMod or built an Android ROM before, so I think this is pretty good, and it says a lot about what can be done when using Android effectively like a HAL - without having to actually know or care anything about Android.
The porting process was really simple once I understood what I was doing. The phablet system is a cut-down Android with Dalvik etc removed, and the hardware adaptations we are bringing over from CyanogenMod try to build Dalvik runtime applications. This stuff has to be stripped out from the HW adaptations. That's really all I had to do to get this working, and if you look at my repos above you'll see that all I did was comment out lines in Makefiles which try to build this type of stuff. There were a couple of other trivial changes needed too. All in all only about 20 lines changed.

As far as i know, ubunto ports currently use a pre-alpha version for developers, i read that camera works, gsm (not 3g/4g/cdma), touchscreen, speaker (not headphone..), most apps do not work as well.. i would suggest to wait a bit for this to get out of alpha to some more user friendly version.

Still working on the S-OFF method?
What kind of ROM are you building ? Aosp or sense ? and what are the prerequisite the phone has to have in order to test ? (Since there's no s-off yet I guess some other things have to be done)
My girlfriend has got this phone and its slow as hell so maybe I can be a tester with her phone if its still usable afterwards but I think she'd agree anyway cause the device is making her crazy also I can only start testing after august 6th cause we're on holiday right now
I would be happy to help you guys with testing any ROM. Still Desire 300 can be only S-ON. I hope you are going to compile AOSP ROM. Also i got request - If you are really going to make AOSP ROM would you use Linaro 4.9 by @Christopher83 , @JustArchi optimizations, -O3 optimizations, Link Time Optimizations. Lets get this phone working again because with stock firmware is just awful.

My sister bought brand new Desire 310 and used it exactly one week. After that she went back to my old Samsung Galaxy S Plus I9001 (using CM 11.0 Release 10 by ADC-Team & K^Kernel 416 RAM by ADC-Team). This old device is single core phone with 512 ram and it is totally better in every way compared to Desire 310. She asked me to do something with her HTC but first i need to find any ROM. That's why i would like to help with tests.

Well this is not Desire 310 but desire 300. The Desire 310 has a MediaTek Quadcore SoC with 1.3Ghz and 1GB ram, running a slightly modified AOSP rom. I can tell you this device HAS to be faster than the S plus of your sister. It is, check it. There currently no ROM available for 310 because of the Mediatek SoC. It's rootable via Framaroot using the Boromir exploit. DO NOT FLASH ANY ROMS, THERE ARE NONE

It's possible to run linux on android (google app store) app. And install ubuntu on the app and run the same using chroot. Will this be possible in any of the new roms that are posted in the developers area? Thanks for your answer, this will be principal factor in my decision to buy this device.

I don't see why not, you could even port native Ubuntu over with a little effort since the 5420 soc already has Linux ports.

Hmm. very interesting thanks for the info... Any hands on experience with "Complete Linux Installer" , "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zpwebsites.linuxonandroid&hl=en" Running Linux native in the device sounds interesting, but running ubuntu on the same within android is exactly what I need at this moment. In some of the devices that I use to have especially with a original rom this process is not supported. If any body had done this process in the device and could advise will be very helpful. Thanks in advance.
I'll give it a go on my Tab S 8.4 and report back...

just pull the trigger and buy one of this little tablet. will try and let everyone know if the installer works.
I tried it on the SM-T800 (WIFI) and it doesn´t worked at all because it cannot run the loop mode (?)
I´m trying linux on android for the first time so maybe someone can help me with it!
I need to figure out if it would be possible if i had another Kernel or another rom.
At the moment I´m running ThunderRom 800
Thanks in advance!
