Posted:   |  More posts about phablet ubuntu developer preview

Update: Fixing link to cdimage and here's the link to the changelog.

Starting today all the builds created for phablet aka the Ubuntu Touch Developer Preview are going to be available on cdimage for your enjoyment.

Keep in mind that these builds are coming out of the oven as they are and may have important regressions, they may also have important enhancements so enjoy at your discretion.

Tools

phablet-tools has been updated to consume from the daily builds. To get that going you will need version 0.6-0phablet1. If you haven't installed them yet, add the PPA on your workstation by runnning:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:phablet-team/tools

Then do the following if you already have Ubuntu Touch on your device to get the latest:

phablet-flash -l

Or add the -b command switch if bootstrapping for the first time.

The tools also remembers your agreement so you don't need to tye that in every time which is a welcome addition..

If you haven't updated in a while, you will notice that we added a disk space check to /data to make sure people don't boot into black screens. It doesn't cover all cases though.

PPA

You may or may not have noticed that the PPA which would hold all the packages used to build the image are also available at ppa:phablet-team, to add them to your device just do the following on your device:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:phablet-team

Since you are at it, why not add the Qt 5 and the Ubuntu SDK PPA:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:canonical-qt5-edgers/qt5-proper
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-sdk-team
