Announcing Ubuntu and Android dual boot developer preview - Ubuntu Touch General

Christmas has come early in Ubuntu this time around, with a finely wrapped present: dual-booting with Android.
We are thrilled to announce a preview of a new feature for developers: Ubuntu on mobile devices can now run alongside Android on a single handset.
For developers only
Dual boot is not a feature suitable for regular users. It is recommended to be installed only by developers who are comfortable with flashing devices and with their partition layout. Dual boot rewrites the Android recovery partition and those installing it should be intimately familiar with re-flashing it in case something goes wrong.
Multiple Android flavours are supported (AOSP or stock, CyanogenMod) and installation of Ubuntu can be done for all versions available in the phablet-flash channels.
Easy OS switch via apps
With dual boot, switching between OSs had never been easier. No more key combinations or command line interfaces to jump into the next OS: on each side, an app with a simple user interface will enable you to boot back and forth at the tap of a button.

The Android app manages the initial installation of Ubuntu, upgrades and rebooting into Ubuntu.
On Ubuntu, the dual boot app provides an easy way to reboot into Android.
Installing dual boot
Installing and running dual boot can be done in a few easy steps. In a nutshell, it requires performing a one-off installation of the dual boot app in Android, which will enable you to both install the version of Ubuntu of your choice, and to reboot into Ubuntu.
Install dual boot on your device >

dualboot.sh detects Nexus 5 and installs UbuntuInstaller.apk, but "http://system-image.ubuntu.com/channels.json" does not have an hammerhead entry.
To avoid confusion, i think the hammerhead entry should be removed from dualboot.sh if it is not supported.

I'm guessing this only works with supported devices?

Got Ubuntu & Android Dualboot on my Nexus 4
Concerning the phone call,sounds, and wifi, i downgrade from kitkat 4.4.2 to 4.3. Then following the official guidelines, i flashed ubuntu&android dualboot into my Nexus 4. The Android side runs smoothly as usual, while the Ubuntu side a bit laggy.

Already got them working on my nexus 4 with 4.3

My Nexus 4 ran 4.4.2 previously. Concerning the phone call,wifi and sound issues posted in ubuntu touch official blog,i downgraded my N4 to 4.3. So far, basic functionalities work well on ubuntu side. SMS, phone calls and camera work well. It makes a sound. Wifi and 3G(WCDMA) internet connections are steady, though the network speed sucks here in China.
there's one bug that Bluetooth can be switched on and off, but it never detects a single device, nor can it be detected.
Btw,switching in between ubuntu touch(14.04 r79) and Android (4.3) takes 30 seconds or more.
Good luck.

Every time I update to a newer Ubuntu version it screws with my Android folder structre...
Used to be /storage/emulated/0
Now I've got /storage/emulated/0/0/0/0/0
What can I do to prevent that or how can I fix it?

is it possible for mediatek chipest

[DEV][WIP] Paranoid Android AOSPA 3+ [Update!]

This thread is going to be starting up again for a little while now that we have some new builds of CM for the Note 8.
Hello developers and anyone else!
This is my first developer-related thread and I don't know how to begin, but this thread is going to be dedicated to porting AOSPA 3+ to the Note 8.
I've semi-successfully ported Paranoid Android 3.60 to the N5110, I can get it to install and boot but that is all.
Since I'm going to be on vacation from July 22 until July 26th, not much will be going on here, but I wanted to get a thread going.
Also, after different ways of flashing I still get stuck at the boot animation. If anybody has any advice that can help with this issue it would be greatly appreciated as it would help get the ROM out for release sooner.
Planned Features
S-Pen support with Note Buddy Lite
Custom Kernel with O/C support
More will come once I get this booting!
Cheers, 64kb.

Until I can get this to boot, there isn't much of a chance I'll start trying to get this on other versions. Keep in mind that this is my first time doing anything development so it might be a while before this project gets out for release.

Would this work using the kernel for Sbrissen's CM10.1 Note 8.0 rom?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2366463
I'm excited to see this develop. My Note 8 gets to me on Saturday and I loved PA when I've flashed it one my phone. I'm sure I'll get bored of TouchWiz fast enough to flash this as soon as it's useable

There's a CyanogenMod rom that works well while you wait.
So I'm back from vacation now and I asked sbrissen permission to use his CM 10.1 build as a base, hopefully I get the needed permission and this project will start up again! Also, I've added a planned features list.

If you can get this to work I would really like to know how you did it because I would like to try my hand at porting too
Sent from my GT-N5110 using XDA Premium HD app
Thought
So I finally got a mash of PA 3.99 (slick_rick's Note 2 version) and CM10.2 (sbrissen) "working", in that it images and starts to boot, but with the same results you got - looped logo. FWIW, CM10 also gets the oblong boot logo, but then snaps to normal. This lead me to first thought, which is the framework-res.apk needs to have the dpi settings added for the Note 8, which looking it up is tvdpi - notes I've found in research say that the hdpi will scale, but I can't say for certain. I'm going to try copying the framework-res.apk over from CM10 and see what I get.
Wow, thank goodness someone is working on PA3+ for Note 8. Running CM10.2 but missing the Tablet/Phablet/Phone mode!
looking forward seeing this in action!
Are you still working on this project?

[ALPHA] | CustomDroid | Automated flashing, rooting, etc like CM installer

You all must have heard of CyanogenMod installer, which makes it easy to install CyanogenMod ROM on a number of devices. You just need to download the app on your phone and then connect your phone to your PC and the installer app on your PC will do the heavy lifting. But the problem is: It's a CyanogenMod installer -- You can only install CyanogenMod using it, that's it. So I present to you - Custom Droid
What is Custom Droid?
CustomDroid allows you to tweak your newly purchased phone. It can:
Unlock the bootloader of your device
Flash a custom recovery
Flash a custom ROM
Flash a custom kernel [WIP]
Root your device [WIP]
The user interface is like an installer and it makes the entire process, from bootloader unlocking to custom ROM, super easy and intuitive.
This project was inspired by CM Installer. Since CM Installer was limited (and could only flash a CM ROM), I thought "Why not create a similar app which can do more and also flash any kind of ROM?".

}
Important Notes:
The app is in experimental stage so please don't say "It sucks" or "It bricked my device", there are still few things left to fix and add. Please report bugs via GitHub
Kernel flashing and rooting is WIP and will be ready by ALPHA 2
List of currently supported devices are: Nexus 4, Nexus 7, Nexus 10, Galaxy Nexus, Nexus S, Nexus One and HTC One.
Only GSM variants of the devices are supported. LTE/4G model support will be added in ALPHA 3 (expected). Support for more devices will be added soon.
If you have a HTC One, make sure the bootloader unlock key ("Unlock_code.bin") file is present in the root folder of the application else it will not be able to unlock your One's bootloader. I will be adding the support for extracting identifier token automatically in v2 to make it easy for you to obtain the bootloader unlock key.
Requirements:
.NET Framework 4.5
ADB/fastboot drivers

A simple answer is to be able to try roms without having to make a backup , wipe and then restore if it's not right for you. It is more of a luxury than a necessity.

yeah T-Mobile Note 4 already has dualboot
I got cm12 installed as secondary with kitkat ROM installed as primary. I installed the dual boot patcher on cm12 and I try to select my primary ROM to reboot into it but it doesnt, it just keeps rebooting into cm12.
Any ideas?
I do like cm12 though, runs pretty good for being a beta still.

Qualcomm just released their new GPU binaries on developer site
https://developer.qualcomm.com/software/adreno-gpu-sdk/tools​
New drivers are intended for latest Marshmallow MRA58
Release date: 09h of December​
This release contains a developer preview of the user-mode driver binaries for Qualcomm Adreno 3xx/4xx GPU on Nexus 5, Nexus 6, and Nexus 7 devices running Google Android Marshmallow. It has been tested with MRA58 factory image. This release is intended only for developers, and does not meet our customer release quality. Please refer to the included readme file for installation.​
Downloads:
Nexus 5 Click!
Nexus 6 Click!
Nexus 7 Click!​
Zips are identical to Quallcomm's website and should work on any 6.0 ROM.​
Instalation:
Go to recovery and flash zip.​Possible benefits?
Small increase of overall performance.
Changelog?
There is no actual changelog of those drivers on Quallcomm's website.​
Hi. Pardon my ignorance but what exactly will these help in? I have a rooted N5 on mra58k with latest twrp.

Well Qualcomm updated their gpu drivers because they fixed (possibly really small) bugs and got better performance/less battery consumption with those new drivers. It doesn't mean end user will benefit from it in a noticeable way, but having the latest code doesn't hurt. Is it worth the hassle, i don't know (I'm not going to update), but if you are looking for bleeding edge development, backup and try it out. If anything goes wrong you can always go back. Don't expect to much from it though.

[UPDATE] Kali Nethunter finally on International Galaxy S3 (l9300)

As we know from a previous post, another person announced he ported Nethunter to l9300, BUT the fact was that the link he posted was incorrect!
What can we Gs3 users do?
REQUIREMENTS:
-ALWAYS make a backup before doing any "strange" actions.
-TWRP or CWM
-Cyanogenmod 13
-Boeffla Kernel
HOW TO DO THIS:
It's even easier than installing a custom ROM.
-Just go to https://www.offensive-security.com/kali-linux-nethunter-download/
-Download the NEXUS 5 MARSHMALLOW .zip
-Flash it in recovery (always make sure you have a backup).
Don't worry if it takes a bit, it's normal.
KNOWN ISSUES:
-Of course, nexus 5 kernel is not the Galaxy s3's, this means some functions will probably NOT work.
-expect to (only while using nethunter app) have to reboot your device due to some freezing..

Is it necessary to use the Boeffla Kernel?
Actually i do not know if it is necessary, i wrote it because i had boeffla while i was flashing it, so in order to not make users brick their devices, just in case i suggest using it.
If some utilities (like the very common terminal issue) do not work, try looking at this post after you flash nethunter:

Thank you for your reply, I have another question, what is the difference with this tutorial?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/rom-kali-nethunter-porting-galaxy-s3-t3305011
I really would like to tell you if it works, but all the links are broken (i'm referred to that post, up here)..he actually says he ported a build made only for the galaxy s3...
In my post here i use the nexus 5 build, and probably with the differences between these two hardwares some features may not work.

It should work as well..
Yes of course this is kali linux but no, it's not going to turn your android device into linux.
Nethunter uses [email protected] in terminal to run linux commands...in other words it runs linux only in the terminal and it does not run the chroot itself but only the needed functionalities...
Go to android terminal emulator:
Type "Su",
And type: " bootkali".
And it will make you enter in the kali terminal

As we know from a previous post, another person announced he ported Nethunter to l9300, BUT the fact was that the link he posted was incorrect!
What can we Gs3 users do?
REQUIREMENTS:
-ALWAYS make a backup before doing any "strange" actions.
-TWRP or CWM
-Cyanogenmod 13
-Boeffla Kernel
HOW TO DO THIS:
It's even easier than installing a custom ROM.
-Just go to https://www.offensive-security.com/kali-linux-nethunter-download/
-Download the NEXUS 5 MARSHMALLOW .zip
-Flash it in recovery (always make sure you have a backup).
Don't worry if it takes a bit, it's normal.

have you tried the ported kali i9300? cant make it work it says fatal error old kernel stuff
Which versions of Boeffla and cyanogenmod 13 would you recommend for this?
Will it work on Lineage 14.1 ?
How to Update Kernel ?
i can't believe this actually flashed correctly whitout any bootloop and more. i just have an error in nethunter terminal, as the kali shell doesn't work. it seems that "data/local/nhsystem/kali-arm64 directory does not exist!!.". guess ill try to rename, move that file or other stuffs...
Mmmh, very interesting indeed.
Think I'll try building Nethunter for my Note 3 (that's sitting unused since I moved on to Poco hardware...), when I get some spare time and am bored.
Have you tried building a custom kernel from the Samsung open-source kernel tree ? Might work better, especially if you repurpose the baseband firmware from a stock ROM.
