@juicemehmmh, storm cut the electricity during last night... just got it back12:42
@juicemeSo, I made a SailfishOs-preconfigured version od ubiboot-0.3.512:50
@juicemein the tarfile I included also the preinit_harmattan and L2fixed kernel so nwebies installing it should not get into the situation where they cannot boot Harmattan after installing ubiboot :)12:52
@juicemeFor the record, the file is on http://www.swagman.org/juice/ubiboot/ubiboot_for_sailfish/ubiboot-02_0.3.5_131213_SFOS.tar12:52
Wntjuiceme: nice!17:32
Wntsomeone should also create a tutorial that has all information on how to install ubiboot + sailfish. Currently one has to follow multiple different guides and some of them have lot's of legacy information that a normal newbie user is not interested in17:34
@juicemeWnt, I think the maemo wiki sailfish page is pretty good guoide17:43
@juicemeI updated it about the SailfishOs-preconfigured ubiboot17:44
Wntjuiceme: oh, haven't seen that before. looks like just the thing I was missing17:45
@juicemenp :)17:45
Wntis that guide using the "Back-to-Back Closedmode/Openmode flashing"? I understood it's the best way to do openmode?17:48
@juicemethat is the best way to do it17:49
@juicemeI am not sure if there's a wiki about it but it is fairly easy to do17:49
Wntthe back-to-back flashing is described in http://wiki.maemo.org/Ubiboot#Flash_the_device_.28for_a_fresh_start.2Fclean_state.2917:50
Wntbut I'm not sure if the http://wiki.maemo.org/Sailfish guide uses that technique17:50
@juicemebasically it is just flashing the device with emmc&rootfs, and then immediately flashing with open mode kernel before the device boots up.17:50
Wntok17:50
Wntok, there is no -R parameter in the guide's "flasher -F main.bin -F emmc.bin -f" command and it's followed by the kernel flashing "flasher -a main.bin -k zImage_2.6.32.54-openmode_l2fix --flash-only=kernel -f -R", so I guess it is using the back-to-back method17:54
Wntjuiceme: an the Step 5 in the guide can be replaced with the ubiboot autopartition.sh? http://wiki.maemo.org/Sailfish#Step_5_-_Re-partition_your_handset17:57
@juicemeactually the -R is necessary there :)17:59
Wntyes, in the second command18:00
@juicemeas -R means that the device is booted, it just needs to be flashed before it reaches userland18:00
@juicemein both commands18:00
@juicemeactually I am not sure how it behaves if there's no -R ...?18:00
@juicemeI think I have never tried it. Will it just hang there, waiting to be turned off?18:01
@juicemewhat I have used is command like;18:01
Wnteven this guide doesn't have the -R in the firmware flashing: http://wiki.maemo.org/Ubiboot#Flash_the_device_.28for_a_fresh_start.2Fclean_state.2918:01
@juicemeflasher -F main.bin -F emmc.bin -f -R ; flasher -a main.bin -k zImage_2.6.32.54-openmode_l2fix --flash-only=kernel -f -R18:02
Wntok18:02
@juicemeso the 2 flashed commands are separated by semicolon (;)18:02
@juicemein linux this works so that the second command starts when the first has finished...18:03
Wntyep18:03
@juicemein windows you'd need a BAT file or do it manually18:03
WntI'm thinking of flashing my N9 to a fresh state Harmattan and have dualboot Sailfish. Currently it has a SDK based sailfish18:05
@juicemeI installed it on my N9 today. It really feels like the real thing unlike the SDK based version.18:06
Wntby the way, is there a easy way to speed up the animations of ubiboot?18:06
@juicemedepends, there could be18:13
@juicemealtough if speeded up lot with the technique that it's been implemented currently it will be jaggy18:14
@juicemethe reason there's fairly lots of delay is as the menus are drawn in a bash script.18:15
@juicemeI have thought of writing it in python which should make it snappier18:16
