I know Ubuntu Touch is currently compatible with MultiRom for the Nexus 5. Are there plans for Plasma-Mobile to do something similar?

MultiRom support would be awesome. I think dual-booting is the best way to get ppl using this and giving good feedback. I would love to have this on my N5, but I am not able to go without a 100% working and reliable phone to do it. I currently have dual-boot with ubuntu touch but would swap that for this in a heartbeat.

Anyone?

MultiRom manager parse ubuntu-touch images from http://system-image.tasemnice.eu/channels.json

I think, kubuntu-mobile can be added to MultiRom by mirroring http://kubuntu.plasma-mobile.org/ to local server and adding info into local copy of channels.json file.

PS sorry for my english

channels.json for automatic channels parsing (need to be in root of mirror).

you need to copy dirs: gpg, kubuntu-phone, pool

I did tried to patch MultiROMMgr to install PlasmaMobile instead of UbuntuTouch, I was able to download devel-proposed, but while installing, it does not accept the gpg keys from 'http://kubuntu.plasma-mobile.org/gpg/'.

What I've done so far: (this should not be considered a properly implementation as one should be able to choose between 'PlasmaMobile' and 'UbuntuTouch')

Code: Select all

I don't have the time to mess with this to get the install to work... if someone can get it working I would be more then happy to install it and pass it on as well.

This hangs at Google logo. Had a keys error during install.

Which device you have? And are you sure you used recovery that I have linked in wiki page?

I have an N5, and yes I did use the recovery.
I will give it another go when I have a chance.

I tested on a Nexus 5 device .
Sorry to say, that I have a problem at MultiROM manager level because device...tar.xz file verification check failed all the time .
I try two times the entire installation process with TWRP and MultiROM patched versions but with no success ( devel and devel-proposed ) .
Is there missing instructions ?

I've seen a discussion about multirom/ubuntu touch problems with image verification on xda: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google- ... st66670884
There it is suggested that you set the date in Android back and after that the verification goes ok.

Hth!

Hey all

Just registered to say that I'm walking into the exact same problems as elgrande described above. I also attempted to install Plasma Mobile on my Nexus 5 by following the instructions as described on the 'Plasma Mobile with Multirom' instruction page. Unfortunately, after having downloaded the necessary image files Multirom manager fails to 'check' the device????.tar.xz file (it doesn't say what it actually checks, wrong MD5 checksum maybe?). I also tried both devel and devel-proposed images. Additionally, following ahas' suggestion, I retried the whole process with the Android system time set back to 1 januari 2015 (just to be sure), but the installation process still won't get past the aforementioned file check.

If anyone has any other suggestions to fix this I'd be more than happy to try, really stoked to test Plasma Mobile. I'm a really happy Plasma 5 DE user and would love to use it on my mobile phone as well
