Porting to Nook Color - Firefox OS General

So, I recently got a Nook Color version of Ubuntu Touch to boot and display properly, and I figured I'd try my luck with a port of Firefox OS. Can I make my own encore.xml without pushing it to github, or is there a step by step guide I can follow for experiemental development?

I think it would be cool to see Firefox OS on the Nook Color. If you are starting the project, I could help pitch in.

Gonna have to 86 it, as my pins are starting to snap off through the charge port and I just cannot get it to charge. If you want to play ball, I could help from the sidelines.

Count me in: my NC still works but I hardly use it anymore since its too weak for android 4+
Where do we start?

(BUILD) MIUI-HD2-Beta5-STABLE-ENGLISH-michyprima's R11+AXI (9/30/2010)

Due to time constraints I'm not able to update this build in what some would consider a timely fashion. DOMINEUS has been working hard to update MIUI on the HD2 and keep it going. His thread can be found HERE
Could you please provide more info and screenshots as well.
What is specific in this build ?
And just in case if you didn't mark it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7330252&postcount=1
Is it the same looking build as here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788389 ?
Yummy Excellent work, sir.
Thanks infinitybiff, Sarcastillo , Kingklick92, MIUI Team.
cant wait to try this.

Hey guys I got something special for you. Thanks to the hard work of sarcastillo, we now have a working VERY BETA build of MIUI for the HD2.
Please note: This is BETA like SUPER BETA. Not a daily driver, just for fun. If your phone explodes.... not it.
Thanks: Sarcastillo , Kingklick92, MIUI Team.
What doesn't work:
*Camera (force close city)
*Settings (also force close city)
*adb access no workie either (so no logcat lol)
I'm posting this so you guys can get your paws on it and try it out. If you get something working that wasn't before PM me or gchat me (infinitybiff(at)gmail.com) and I'll get it worked out.

This is a very iPhonish looking ROM . I might test it once its not a Super Beta release
Cyanogen liked it. He had some back and fourth with the developers of the original MIUI rom. He mentioned possibly collaborating with them in the future.
I'd love to see this UI with some cyanogen love. I wonder what apks we can use/port in the meantime...
anyone else getting a rootfs error?
edit failed to find rootfs
edit again
removed all files from folder and placed on root now loading and testing
3g is not working in this release either, and there is a hard freeze at first...
so far so good
3g is working after a few resets my android settings work too..
the startup txt is wrong! it says hyperdroidmiui but the folder is hyperdroidmui just a small edit fixes it!
Yea I finally saw it I will edit it later. Its quite fast and stable. Volume is low though...

[ANDROID] How to Install Gingerbread 2.3.5 on HP Touchpad - Touchdroid Build

Big happenings recently in the Touchpad realm. Touchdroid, one of the groups who was developing Android for the HP Touchpad, has decided to release a dump of their build, along with instructions on how to install it. I have recorded my own installation in hopes that others might benefit from it.
Two things:
1. Please follow the steps listed here http://touch-droid.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2
2. Be aware that this is not the Cyanogenmod version, and there are a few items that are not quite working yet.
Here is the link to the video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhWVmMYquYY
Happy Flashing!
Now, the usual disclaimer: If this bricks your Touchpad.... bummer, dude.
Also, I am aware that an amazing build will eventually be released from Cyanogen. I am excited about this. The touchdroid build is just to tinker with.
:::UPDATE:::
If you want to uninstall this, here is a video explaining how:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKRp3ldtAjU
agreed. Even if their devteam is knowledgeable I will not install their port because of the logs I've read.
Craig
This is the beginning of it all...^^ Android is damn near now... thx!
Please keep in mind that this build is incomplete and buggy. That being the case, this is only recommended to those that care less about the source (we already know all about that) and more about tinkering with it. Use it if you like, but keep the arguments out. Thanks.
Interesting, although its VERY incomplete. I can only surmise that this is a "just to get it out there" kind of thing.

The comments on the video are already entertaining.
People, if you don't have any idea what this is, where it comes from, or why it's being posted..... DON'T INSTALL IT!!!!
If some idiot (me ) puts a video on the intertubes, it does NOT mean that you need to follow it. Watch it, learn from it, but if you don't like the outcome.....DON'T INSTALL IT!!!!!
Also, I total get why people bail from giving even the smallest amount of help to others. Nobody asked me to do this video, I just saw a need for it and made it. And... I'll do it again once cyanogen's stuff comes out for it.
Haters gonna hate, I guess.

How did you go back to previous screen without back button?
Also does anyone know if once the CM version is released the flashing process might be a little easier for the average user? I am not too comfortable with entering commands everywhere. reverend made it look easy because he was obviously familiar with entering command prompts. Either way I will be attempting it, just thought I would ask.

CM's release will be soon enough and will be fool proof. Unless you're reasonably familiar with the Linux terminal and ADB you're probably better off waiting. There's not much properly working on this version. You'll install it, play for ten minutes and them have to go back to waiting for a proper release. This is pre-alpha.

you can see he shot over adb commands
after have following the drama, around the stolen/lost code, I really think people should stop there personal [mod edit], and focus on getting android to the tp. As I see it this, android dump, is touchdrods way of saing: We [mod edit] up, and we are sorry. I also understand that they are stopping the project. So lets all stop the flaming, and wait for the CM, or another teams build! Just my 5 cents
Whats the point of tinkering with the Touchdroid build when the team has disbanded. I would stay away from this build since the CyanogenMod seems to be way ahead of the Touchdroid team anyways.

issent the point, that other teams can see touchdrods build, and use what they can from it. Like small twinks and stuff like that.
So, I'm going to try to bring this thread back on topic so,
for those of you still navigating using adb or whatever, Button Savior works great. Download it, adb install it.
Has anyone tried to install the back and home buttons from an app on the market yet?

There's already tons of ports for Ubuntu since they have an official arm release. I'm running 12.04 right now (see sig) and the only problem is random freezes, which I'm too lazy to troubleshoot.

So far it seems to only be available for the Nexus tablets.
Given the somewhat weak ROM support for the TF101 I'm not really going to dare hoping for anything.
Right now we barely have a CM10.1 port going, which for most devices is taken for granted.
So yeah.

You gotta have faith! How about team EOS 4's beautiful ROM? seems like it's about as advanced a ROM as there could be... i'm running 4.2.2 VERY smoothly with their help. Thanks to ALL of the developers
They've released a statement that if there's a CM 10 release for your device, you can port Ubuntu Touch to it. As far as I know, there is no stable build of CM 10 for the TF101, but there are some unoffical ports. If we could get the guys working on the unofficial ports to look at porting Ubuntu Touch over, we might get it.

Over on my one v im getting threads like this. That phone has a single core cpu at 1ghz and 512mb ram. I think if we can run regular linux we can run this. We just have to port it
Porting Ubuntu Touch is as Simple as Building CM... Really?
I think that porting CM 10.1 for Rayman and Team EOS it's being a hard work but, as we have a stable (more or less) build of CM 10.1, Do you guys think that porting will be simple? I'm right now trying to make a dual boot of Ubuntu Phone OS and Android OS for GNex but I can help porting it to our old Transformer... Anyone who can help me?
PD: Where are you Raiman? We miss you...

Well Ubuntu Touch is out for tablets too - answer to the first post.
Also, I might try to port it later tonight.
I'm sure it can be done.

Support for x86 and Arm
It doesn't say "x86". Ubuntu Phone and Tablet is *targeted* at ARM devices so any x86 compiling we need to do ourselves from the source code they released. But we also need drivers for that, a dev (or a few devs) that's willing to port it and compile it for our x86 and we need someone to port over all ARM apps that are currently being created by third party developers.
Also, we need to adjust the touchscreen because the launcher is hard to reach with no bezel. I've been running Ubuntu Phone Experience on my Razr i for some weeks now and it's hard to detect because you really need to trigger the bezel so that's gonna need some work too after the port's done.

AFAIK Openelec will not run on any Android device. IMO CM11 is the Premier ROM for all anyway. PAC ROMs are pretty awesome too. Since Ouya is shying away from hardware, and focusing on the Ouya OS, IDK if we will see much more Dev work.

XBMC works very well as a Media Center. We have cut the cord and use our antenna (for local news) and XBMC for all of our TV shows and movies. Up until I got the Ouya we used a PC with XBMC.

No need to dual boot. Just install the 4 apks for Ouya Anywhere after you get CM11 up and running. Got the best of both worlds on mine, and it runs smoother then before.
