That's a great news. But not many people want to do such a complex thing. Is possible to make some image, so the followers don't need to build the source again. Ubuntu should do this if they want to make touch more popular.

Subject:  [Ubuntu-phone] Samsung Galaxy S(aucy)



Hi,



I have successfully ported Saucy to Samsung Galaxy S (smtd), based on the february demo of Alistair Buxton (ali1234), I am not completely sure if this is new, and it is not perfect, this is my fisrt Ubuntu experience :)
 

Here is the "guide":


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 

 	 	 	 
>phablet-dev-bootstrap galaxySaucy
 >. build/envsetup.sh 
>breakfast galaxysmtd  
 >repo sync install latest stable build of cyanogenmod on device and connect it via usb >adb devices (check if device is online) on Desktop terminal: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>cd device/samsung/galaxysmtd
 
>./extract-files.sh  
 

 
 

 
 

 
 
Go to Nautilus and open file...
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
.../galaxySaucy/device/samsung/aries-common/fstab.aries
 
remove ??,nosuid?? on line 8
 

 
 
.../galaxySaucy/device/samsung/aries-common/device_base.mk
 
remove...
 

 
 
	SamsungServiceMode \
 
	AriesParts \
 

 
 
...on line 121
 

 
 

 
 

 
 
.../galaxySaucy/kernel/samsung/aries/arch/arm/configs/cyanogenmod_galaxysmtd_defconfig
 

 
 
add to end of file:
 

 
 
CONFIG_NAMESPACES=y
 
CONFIG_UTS_NS=y
 
CONFIG_IPC_NS=y
 
CONFIG_USER_NS=y
 
CONFIG_PID_NS=y
 
CONFIG_NET_NS=y
 
CONFIG_DEVTMPFS=y
 
CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES=y
 
CONFIG_FSNOTIFY=y
 
CONFIG_DNOTIFY=y
 
CONFIG_INOTIFY_USER=y
 
CONFIG_FANOTIFY=y
 
CONFIG_FANOTIFY_ACCESS_PERMISSIONS=y
 
# CONFIG_ANDROID_PARANOID_NETWORK is not set
 

 
 

 
 

 
 

 
 
back to Desktop Terminal:
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
>cd ../../..  
 
>. build/envsetup.sh  
 

 
 

 
 

 
 
>brunch galaxysmtd
 

 
 
download copy saucy-preinstalled-boot-armhf+grouper.img, rename it to ubuntu-boot.img and put it on ?? /galaxySaucy/out/target/product/galaxysmtd
 

 
 
>brunch galaxysmtd (again)
 

 
 

 
 
you will get something like cm-10.1-20130713-UNOFFICIAL-galaxysmtd.zip in that folder. Finnaly, reboot your device into CWM, mount it and copy this zip you have just compiled and also the latest saucy-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip you can download. Install the first, wipe data on the phone, and then install the second. Reboot.
 

 
 
Your screen will not be in the correct definition, to change it go to the Terminal app of the phone and:
 

 
 
>cd ../../..
 
>sudo vi usr/bin/ubuntu-session
 
password:phablet
 
use vi to change the following 2 lines to match these:
 

 
 
GRID_UNIT_PX=10
 
QTWEBKIT_DPR=1.0
 

 
 
using I before inserting character, x for deleting character and :wq to quit and save
 

 
 
>sudo reboot
 

 
 
reconnect device to Desktop and in terminal run
 

 
 
>adb devices (to check it is online)
 
>phablet-flash -d grouper -b  (to update to the latest)
 

 
 

 
 
NOTE
 
For the time being I don't advise doing apt-update and apt-upgrade on the phone's terminal app for it will give undesired effects
