jholtomSuperTeece: idk, probably somewhere on the wiki00:42
SuperTeece"In rare circumstances, the Nexus4 may get into a state where it may not boot at all after the battery is drained (even into recovery). If this happens, the only way to restore it is to disassemble the back of the phone and unplug/plug the battery connector."00:44
SuperTeecethat's interesting and a good motivator to not let the phone go dead :)00:45
SuperTeeceINFO:phablet-flash:Installation complete00:46

Cantidethere is one Android app that i must have if i want to use Ubuntu Touch and the devs are not open at all - no API, no source code and they refused to release for Ubuntu... so until it gains some share of the market, i doubt i will be able to use this app05:54

ojzcoccan anyone offer advice on how to get the adb backup command to work successfully while backing up a Nexus 4 phone? I'm looking to install Touchm but need to baclup first07:07
nhainesIt basically just works.07:08
nhainesDidn't backup my call log, contacts, email settings and email, or text messages.  Everything else was backed up (and restored) fine.07:08
ojzcocMine freezes every single time i try. I tried removing the -share option, but it still froze. I tried using sudo, but it froze as well07:15
nhainesIt takes a very long time and does not give an indication of progress.07:15
nhainesWhat exactly "froze"?07:15
ojzcocI was monitoring the file size of the backup; it froze at 1.4GB, and my phone has a lot more than that stored on it. It gave no indication of finishing07:16
nhainesSounds like it wasn't finished.07:17
ojzcocMaybe I should just try leaving it overnight; It spent over half an hour frozen there. during that time, the file size didn't increase by 1 bit.07:18
ojzcocit07:32
ojzcocit's started freezing in random places07:33
ojzcoci've tried something like 15 times to back up, and it always stops at a random point and won't shift a byte07:33
ojzcocshould I try and use a different backup system? or should I try moving to windows and using adb there?07:39
nhainesojzcoc: either is an option.  I suspect nandroid would be excellent, and Windows might end up working.07:40
ojzcocKnowing microsoft, windows probably won't. I'll try nandroid. Thank you!07:40
bray90820for ubuntu touch does it matter what build of cyanogenmod you use07:42
bray90820because there is a more current one then the one on the ubuntu touch website07:43
nhainesbray90820: yes, of course it matters.07:43
nhainesCyanogenmod is only used for hardware enablement.  So stick with the one used by Ubuntu unless you want to port Cyanogenmod to Ubuntu and then port Ubuntu + Cyanogenmod to your phone.07:44

Ghost1227Anyone have any thoughts on why I'd be getting an error 'could not verify the tag v1.12.7' when trying to create a phablet mirror?15:08
w-floGhost1227, does it seem related to an update for the repo tool?15:10
w-floI always get a message about failed verification of repo updates when using the tool. It's probably because I installed repo from the  ubuntu repositories15:11
Ghost1227w-flo: i tried creating the mirror manually as well as with the repo tool and still getting the error15:12
w-floGhost1227, either install the repo tool directly from google (so it can verify the auto-update using some public key that's not bundled with the repo tool as provided by ubuntu) or ignore that error message (that's what I do)15:15
Ghost1227w-flo: i'd error it if i could... it won't let me create the mirror, errors out completely15:16
w-flooh. that's bad, syncing still works even though it shows that error message15:16
Ghost1227yea15:16
w-flohttp://source.android.com/source/downloading.html#verifying-git-tags maybe this fixes it. Though the update will still fail because you can't change the repo tool without root access15:18
w-floubuntu should probably patch repo in their archives to remove the auto-update feature15:18

w-floI don't use my nexus4 with Ubuntu Touch, but it's probably installing everything on the device right now17:21
m4bhello; i'm wondering about the steps involved in running ubuntu touch on a non-supported device (i.e., not mako, grouper, etc.); in particular, i'd like to see if i could get it running on t789 (samsung galaxy s II blaze); i've installed CM on it; I also have a build machine available for compiling from source CM and android, and i am familiar with the steps involved; so is there a similar process for ubuntu touch and running on17:22

Ghost1227at least your phone is somewhat supported! :P17:26
Ghost1227m4b: good luck!17:26
adamwestyeah. its no biggie,17:26
adamwesti love it already17:26
Ghost1227m4b: struggling through a port myself :P17:26
w-floadamwest, at least you *have* a removable battery :)17:26
adamwestneed an app for exchange accounts and then its a daily driver :P17:26
Ghost1227w-flo: oooh good one17:27
adamwestw-flo: havent tried it on my N4 yet, but as soon as N5 comes out, ill move to that one :P17:27
Ghost1227adamwest: i'm porting to my only phone at the moment... lol could be in trouble17:27
w-floGhost1227, I've pulled my battery at least 30 times while trying to get my port booting :D17:29
m4bGHost1227: :) it's fun stuff tho17:29
Ghost1227w-flo: nothing new there...17:29
Ghost1227w-flo: i'm not that far yet though :( working on figuring out the audio now17:29
adamwestany decent email app released yet for this ?17:29

tvnmskHow to unlock my sim card? i just flashed my nexus 4 with ubuntu touch, but in the start up proces it didn't ask my for my password.17:31
w-flotvnmsk, pull down the network indicator menu, I think it's supposed to be there17:32
Ghost1227w-flo: not understanding the audio step... got any guidance?17:33
w-floGhost1227, I think that was the most difficult thing to figure out. I think it's better to do it later when you can test things on the device17:34
tvnmskw-flo, Thanks!17:34
adamwestthank you for the info and help guys17:37
espacialw-flo: may i send you a private?17:50
w-floespacial, sure17:50
jermy_tvnmsk, SIM card 'password' is not yet supported17:54

alainalemanyGuys I have a question. How an I make a screenshot with Ubuntu Touch?19:02
alainalemanyGuys is there any way to make screenshots of Ubuntu Touch?19:22
Ghost1227no clue alainalemany, sorry... still working on porting it19:23
manornkhi guys, i got this error error: insufficient permissions for device19:23
manornkERROR:phablet-flash:Command 'adb shell getprop ro.cm.device ' returned non-zero exit status 255 on command phablet-flash ubuntu-system --channel devel --no-backup19:23
fishscenemanornk: did you unlock the bootloader?19:23
manornkfishscene, it is unlocked, but i dont know, should i be booted in android or in bootloader while i try this19:24
bray90820Can you still use android file transfer with ubuntu touch19:24
manornkbray90820, yeah, I can19:25
alainalemanyI'm reading in askubuntu.com about a way to make screenshots. Acording the user, through "adb shell" you use the command line "/system/bin/screencap -p filename.png". I did that, but after that, how I move the screenshot to "/home/phablet/Pictures" in order to see it in the gallery application?19:25
fishscenemanornk: I believe you should start the flash process while booted in Android.19:25
bray90820It seems not to work for me19:25
manornki haven't done anything, just installed programs on computer, and started this command. ofc i unlocked device and debugger is enabled19:26
Ghost1227alainalemany: try /system/bin/screencap -p /home/phablet/Pictures/filename.png19:27
bray90820How did you enable debugger on ubuntu touch19:27
manornkbray90820, i don't have ubuntu touch yet, just android19:28
bray90820Ahh ok19:28
bray90820Well on ubuntu touch i cant transfer files19:28
=== hallino1_ is now known as hallino1
alainalemanyWell Ghost1227, confirmed. Using that command line you can make screenshots. Thanks.19:30
manornkGuys, i got Geeksphone, its one of firefox phones with quite good hardware, i want to make it into ubuntu phone, How19:31
Ghost1227alainalemany: np19:32
Ghost1227manornk: port it19:32
Ghost1227manornk: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Porting19:32
alainalemanyOne last issue. This time should be simple. Lie when you have Android locked... in windows I can see my device, but it wont display its content... how can I see it guys?19:33
bray90820How would i transfer files with ubuntu touch19:33
manornkGhost1227, I putted on it Android, so i could go through wiki like android, how. please help, i want to have this19:34
Ghost1227manornk: read the link i gave you. porting isn't simple, but it's not impossible either (although it's driving me nuts at the moment)19:35
fishsceneGhost1227: If I may ask, what porting project are you working on?19:36
bray90820Does ubuntu touch support MTP file transfer?19:36
manornkGhost1227, haha, ok, one more thing, when i insert in terminal adb devices. Why is it List of devices attached  ????????????no permissions19:36
fishscenebray90820: Check this out for MTP on the devices here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ArLs7UPtu-hJdDZDNWliMmV1YUJ3Zk1pQlpDdGp4VFE&usp=sharing#gid=019:37
Ghost1227manornk: either driver issue or bootloader issue i'd guess, but not sure19:37
Ghost1227fishscene: d2vzw19:38
bray90820fishscene: that doesn't really mean much to me19:38
w-floGhost1227, check the /proc/asound/cards file. I have " 0 [msmaudio       ]: msm-audio - msm-audio", so my ucm files go into /usr/share/alsa/ucm/msm-audio19:38
a_muva__can apk file installed and run as program?19:39
w-floa_muva__, no.. only ubuntu touch apps ("click packages") are supported19:39
fishscenebray90820: You asked if MTP file transfer worked on Ubuntu-touch, I pointed you to a document for supported devices, which seems to indicate that it's a per-device basis.19:39
a_muva__thank you19:39
Ghost1227w-flo: the /usr/share/alsa part was what threw me... that's the *nix path, but it never occurred to me that it would carry over to mobile19:39
Ghost1227still trying to get used to standard *nix conventions being valid in a mobile environment19:39
w-floGhost1227, that's what I love about Ubuntu Touch.. things are mostly like you'd excpect them to be :D19:40
bray90820fishscene: so then how would i transfer files if i cant use mtp19:40
alainalemanyGhost1227, can you tell me how I see the phone content in windows explorer? I only see it detected, even the space info... but no content.19:41
fishscenebray90820: I unfortunately don't know the answer to that. My next guess would be there's either an adb command or somehow through ssh. I wish I could help more =\ (I'm not a developer)19:41
bray90820Alright19:41
bray90820ayleast you tried19:41
bray90820Anyone else?19:41
Ghost1227alainalemany: windows doesn't do well with *nix filesystems natively... i've never actually installed touch yet, so couldn't swear to it, but likely you'll need a fs driver that's compatible19:42
Ghost1227w-flo: literally in the build root? that seems odd... i'd expect it to be in /system/usr/share...19:42
spindleybray90820: check out the adb push command19:42
w-floalainalemany, Ghost1227, the phone uses MTP  for file transfer which is supported by windows natively.. but I'm not sure anyone ever tested if actually works with windows :)19:42
Ghost1227w-flo: lmao that does make sense, mtp is a finicky beast sometimes though19:43
w-floGhost1227, not actually in the build root, but in the ubuntu root. That's the 390M "preinstalled" zip package :)19:43
bray90820so i could use adb push and transfer files from my dektop?19:43
spindleybray90820: i think so .. google it19:43
bray90820Alright19:43
bray90820Thank you19:43
spindleybray90820: i think it's adb push /path/to/local/file /sdcard/blah19:44
spindleyor something like that19:44
alainalemanyWell w-flo, the thing is I'm seeing the phone connected and detected... but when I get inside... everything is just blank.19:44
Ghost1227w-flo: wait... literlly in the system root? that does make sense in terms of the docs, but not what i would have expected >_<19:44
w-floalainalemany, no idea why :( sorry19:45
alainalemanyOk buddy w-flo, thanks... I'll check and if I got a way... I'll tell here.19:45
w-floGhost1227, the phone's data partiton contains an "ubuntu" directory after flashing, and the rootfs is inside that directory. so the alsa files will be in "/data/ubuntu/usr/share/alsa..", but the initramfs does some mount magic so this is actually in "/usr/share/alsa" after the phone has booted19:46
Ghost1227that makes sense19:47
Ghost1227thanks!19:47
w-floBasically you can skip the audio step and just try to get the boot process working first19:48
=== anders3408 is now known as anders3408|afk
Ghost1227w-flo: should i skip apparmor for the moment or is it worth figuring out in advance19:57
w-floGhost1227, I'm not sure what the current situation is with apparmor.. a few weeks ago it was possible to boot and use most apps without apparmor, today you probably can't use most apps.. I guess booting should still be finde without it :)19:57
w-flo*fine19:58
Ghost1227w-flo: good... apparmor drives me nuts on desktop, mobile's gonna drive me to drink! i'd rather not screw with it until i absolutely have to19:59
w-floMost apps require it.. so you will have to, but not yet ;P20:00
w-flobut yeah, apparmor prevents my music app from keeping a wakelock .. so the music shuts off after 30 seconds or so of inactivity. thank you apparmor :D20:00
manornkso, porting it is :(20:02
manornkHow long does it take to finish porting?20:03
Ghost1227manornk: depends... i've been working on it for hours and feel like i'm just getting started20:04
manornkGhost1227, huh, it is bad... but someone has to20:05
w-floI can't tell how many hours.. probably quite a few.. I like doing such things :)20:05
Ghost1227manornk: w-flo: I used to port roms for fun... but this is a whole new animal. half what i remember about porting isn't relevant or is conterintuitive20:06
manornkGhost1227, i have never done similar thing20:08
Ghost1227w-flo: decided to try my luck with apparmor... already wish i hadn't :P20:08
Ghost1227manornk: then you're starting from a blank slate... nothing wrong with that20:08
w-floGhost1227, good luck :) the kernel patch used by canonical in one of their device kernels surprisingly applied cleanly, so it wasn't that difficult actually20:08
manornkGhost1227, haha, yeah, but only started from large thing :D20:08
Ghost1227w-flo: i will say that the guide is definitely a work in progress... i have at least some idea what i'm doing and not one step of this process has been as simple as following instructions20:10
w-floGhost1227, the guide was somewhat useful shortly after ubuntu touch was made public.. but since then everything was changed.. i.e. they no longer boot into android, instead it now boots directly into ubuntu. they no longer use audioflinger, instead alsa/pulseaudio. Even surfaceflinger is deprecated, using Mir instead. And so on. I'm not sure anyone took a lot of care with updating the porting guide... But you can usually get help in t20:13
w-flohis channel on week days20:13
Ghost1227fair enough20:13
Ghost1227whenever i figure my way through this maybe i'll update it!20:13
w-floGhost1227, that's a great idea :)20:14
Ghost1227someone's gotta do it20:14
w-floThough some things can't be explained in general as they are device-specific.. every device has its own problems and so everyone needs to come up with their own ideas to solve them :(20:15
Ghost1227sure, but the basics could be better outlined20:15
w-floyes, definitely20:15
Ghost1227and tips could be put down to help people find their way through the rough parts and device-specific stuff20:16
a_muva__I get : ERROR:phablet-flash:Installation is taking too long or an error occured along the way.20:17
Ghost1227w-flo: i figure i used to be an arch linux core developer, and spent some time porting roms a few years back... i should be able to sort through this with enough patience20:22
w-floGhost1227, yes, unless your device uses black magic... I only had experience as a linux user and managed to make it work20:23
Ghost1227lol20:27
Ghost1227black magic based smartphones... that's the next evolution in technology20:28
