| bubbasaures | UTL, There is a dual boot app for a couple of nexus devices, that is what you need an app. | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| bubbasaures | it actually is a multiboot you can fill it up with images | 00:01 |
| UTL | Uh... Well... I kinda tried that... and it kinda didn't work. Every image I tried didn't work. | 00:02 |
| UTL | I don't use a Nexus. | 00:03 |
| UTL | bubbasaures: Some people have managed to boot Ubuntu Touch from an SD card without messing up the internal storage on their device. I was wondering how I could do that. | 00:05 |
| UTL | I own a Nook HD+, not a Nexus. | 00:06 |
| bubbasaures | just info | 00:06 |
| bubbasaures | the 2013 nook appears to run google apps, just thought maybe has made a multi boot for more android devices, we never know how far you have researched is all. | 00:07 |
| bubbasaures | someone has* | 00:08 |
| UTL | I have researched this extensively. I am adamant about getting Ubuntu Touch to work on my Nook HD+, but I've had so many problems in the past, I wanted to test it first before installing for good. | 00:09 |
| UTL | You see, there is an image for it (ovation), but it's very buggy. | 00:10 |
| UTL | bubbasaures: Like I said, I've tried the Ubuntu Dual-Boot app, but each image I chose didn't install. You see, I had change the build.prop file to fool the app into thinking it was dealing with a Nexus 10, but I don't think I knew what I was doing. | 00:16 |
| UTL | nhaines: Are you online, as well? | 00:17 |
| bubbasaures | hope you get it figured out, bummer the backup images don't just always reload. | 00:19 |
| UTL | Yeah, it is a bummer. Thanks, bubbasaures. | 00:21 |
| UTL | Here's some pictures of some of the problems I've been having (second post by "wesnoth"): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2406766&page=5 Any ideas would be very much appreciated. | 00:23 |
| UTL | I mean, the second post on the page. | 00:23 |
| UTL | Well, this looks promising: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2406766&page=16 I hope it really is an update. Problem is, it was posted a year and a month ago, while the one on Ubuntu's website has been posted since May. | 00:29 |
| UTL | The last posts on the XDA Developers site is from June. Nothing later than that. Nuts! | 00:31 |
| jcbjoe_ | hello .. is ubuntu-touch ready for the masses yet or is it a no go ? | 01:32 |

| UTL | Here we go... Just changed the build.prop on my Nook HD+ so I could get the Ubuntu Dual Boot app. I'm fooling it into thinking it's a Nexus 10 (manta image). | 01:49 |
| UTL | Didn't work. It booted into Clockworkmod Recovery, instead. | 01:56 |
| UTL | nhaines? | 01:59 |
| === chihchun_afk is now known as chihchun | ||
| nhaines | UTL: yes? | 02:41 |
| UTL | Hi! Did you get my message about build.prop? | 03:26 |
| UTL | nhaines: That was directed towards you. | 03:27 |
| UTL | Where does the data for the Ubuntu Dual-Boot app go? | 03:33 |
| nhaines | UTL: I did not! | 03:36 |
| UTL | Oh. Here, let me run it through again, then... | 03:36 |
| nhaines | But unless the partitions on Nexus 10 and Nook HD+ are the same, I expect it not to work. | 03:37 |
| UTL | Well, there must be a work-around. Should I repartition, then? If so, how do I do it? | 03:38 |
| === chihchun is now known as chihchun_afk | ||
| nhaines | I don't think you can repartition much. The partition layout is required by the chipset or the board. | 03:43 |
| UTL | Hmmm... | 03:46 |
| UTL | So far, no good. It reboots into recovery every time. | 04:06 |
| UTL | At least it doesn't erase Cyanogenmod, or completely freeze my tablet on the Nook logo. | 04:07 |
| UTL | The dualboot.sh command doesn't work at all. I had to download an APK from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2587723 | 04:09 |
| UTL | Backing up, just in case. I'm going to try something drastic to my Nook HD+. | 05:21 |

| towski | hey, what's the best phone for ubuntu touch | 19:45 |
| towski | best - highest spec | 19:46 |
| towski | ah I guess probably nexus 10 | 19:48 |
| towski | oh the 10 is a tablet | 19:49 |
| towski | so nexus 7? | 19:49 |
| bubbasaures | towski, The effort is getting a phone company to deploy this, seems to be some interest, personally I will wait till than. | 19:54 |
| bubbasaures | It's a development still | 19:55 |
| towski | right | 19:55 |
| towski | it would be nice to have a phone that I could put debian/ubuntu on it | 19:56 |
| towski | I guess phones are hard to hack | 19:56 |
| towski | I feel like I have no option other than to get an iphone :( | 20:08 |
