So when you're finished sampling Ubuntu you just reflash CWM and reload your Android back-up?

Yes ...pretty simple

Has anyone flashed an android rom using the swapped recovery? Just wondering if it would work, as Paul obrian has this option for his modaco rom.

NO!

Don't do this, the ROM ALSO needs changes to mount the partitions the other way around. The recovery only helps with formatting to the right filesystem.

If only the original post had a guide... Shame on you, Dazzozo.

That doesn't tell you how to install a room though. You need a builder for that. J:D

Enabling WiFi on Ubuntu Touch:

• Save this in /data/local/userinit.sh
  

  #!/system/bin/sh
  insmod /system/lib/modules/cfg80211.ko
  insmod /system/lib/modules/dhd.ko firmware_path=/system/etc/fw_4330_b2.bin nvram_path=/system/etc/nvram_4330.txt
  

  
  
• make it executable
  

  chmod +x /data/local/userinit.sh

  
  
• Reboot

Now network applet will have a list of available WiFi networks

Hmm. I installed original repacked ROM with swapped recovery and everything work fine. Or it may cause troubles in the future?

Sweet, Ubuntu OS on a g300
I'm quite happy with your 10.1 JB Rom Daz, but I'm looking forward to this release as well, as the Ubuntu os does look pretty good

If you read the first post it mentions you have to reinstall you're chosen recovery. Try reading it as it should help you. J

Full wipes and the rest that Dazz says to do.
Sorry I haven't flashed this but I can bet top dollar he wouldn't of posted this if it wasn't easy to fix / restore to normal.

I have the same problem, tried flashing an update.app and its still 0.00B

How to mount sdcard? I can't find any sd* or similar devices in /dev.
I created a page file of 256Mb - system now work faster. And I want to move it to the sdcard.

1. http://db.tt/aARbPfGr
2. unzip it a folder on your pc
3. boot into recovery
4. then open a cmd terminal, switch to the folder you extracted busybox into and do 'adb push busybox /tmp'
5. "adb shell cat /proc/partitions | grep mmcblk0p19", it should return a single line confirming that mmcblk0p19 exists
6. "adb shell chmod 755 /tmp/busybox"
7. "adb shell /tmp/busybox mkfs.vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p19"
that should work, all thanks to unaszplodrmann (he explained it to me)

Thanks I'll try to do it tomorrow.
