UBUNTU TOUCH | DAY THREE

I know in my last post I would update again around the 15 day mark however there have been some, lets say: bothersome, issues that I want to address. I'd like to state clearly that these issues are not deal breaking for people who really want to run a Linux phone. However, to me personally, I just want to address them as they made the intro to this phone difficult. 1. Battery - Short This issue may be caused by the phone itself, not Ubuntu. This phone was bought second-hand renewed, and definitely isn't new. However the battery just dumps itself when the phone is doing any activity. Just sitting idle in my pocket, I've found that it drops 30% in just an hour or two. It feels almost like an IPhone battery and makes me concerned for Longevity. The appstore has a battery management app, I'll talk about that in a later section. 2. Waydroid - Janky I attempted to use Waydroid once. I know this isn't much a chance and I will be giving it a second or third go as necessary, however it did not work for me. Simply activating it caused the battery to get even worse, and then a few of the apps that I intended to try and use with Waydroid (Productivity and Work related) were just non-functional, and it drained the battery even faster than it already did. I don't expect Waydroid to be the perfect compatibility layer. But I didn't expect for it to kick my ass as hard as it did. I am genuinely excited to try and get it running again and fiddle with it endlessly until it works the right way. 3. OpenStore & Settings - Not Available by Default? This is something that, personally, I'm not all too sure about. I know Ubuntu is Ubuntu and all the shit that comes with it, but somehow it just doesn't have settings until you create them yourself? I mean, I get it, Linux is what you turn it into, after all. It's why so many people love it. But I very, very, VERY strongly believe that some things that can only be found in an extracurricular app should be in the base Distro. I'm specifically talking about UT-Tweaks, and Swipe Sensitivity. If you're going to make a whole entire "gestures" system built into your Distro, without any alternative (Like three buttons at the bottom of the screen) then you better be ready to provide sensitivity adjustment for users who can't get it to work correctly. Apple gets away with not having sensitivity adjustment specifically because of the fact that they make the hardware as well, and constantly test to see if it's quality or not. (Also I think they actually do offer sensitivity options? I think? It's been a while since I've used apple.) Additionally I want to state that, holy fuck, why is there no Home function? Why can't I have apps running in the background without opening a different app? At first I thought I just didn't know what the gesture was to go home but no. Found and installed a tertiary app, which is just an invisible background and nothing else, if I close it then I can't "go home". I understand that you don't need to "go home" on any device realistically, but for me that's just something I'm so used to because I always have something calming and kind as a background. It's a metaphysical way for me to just turn my brain away from the device instead of doom-scrolling or working non-stop. I'm sure that, even subconsciously, there's at least one other person that understands what I'm talking about. And I also understand that, this is entirely a pet peeve! In fact, I know closing all of the apps to get home would be better for battery, and general phone function! I know that I shouldn't be mad over something that can be fixed by a 0.2 kb app that's completely free! And I know that if i'm this mad about something, I can just code a fix for it myself and try to have my changes committed to the full version! Yknow I had two more sections with text, but tumblr decided to just straight up delete them and I didn't have it saved anywhere. So this is what you get. A rant post with no conclusion. Thanks, Tumblr, I hate you forever.

#Playstation7 #framework #BasicArchitecture #RawCode #RawScript #Opensource #DigitalConsole

To build a new gaming console’s digital framework from the ground up, you would need to integrate several programming languages and technologies to manage different aspects of the system. Below is an outline of the code and language choices required for various parts of the framework, focusing on languages like C++, Python, JavaScript, CSS, MySQL, and Perl for different functionalities.

1. System Architecture Design (Low-level)

• Language: C/C++, Assembly

• Purpose: To program the low-level system components such as CPU, GPU, and memory management.

• Example Code (C++) – Low-Level Hardware Interaction:

#include <iostream>

int main() {

// Initialize hardware (simplified example)

std::cout << "Initializing CPU...\n";

// Set up memory management

std::cout << "Allocating memory for GPU...\n";

// Example: Allocating memory for gaming graphics

int* graphicsMemory = new int[1024]; // Allocate 1KB for demo purposes

std::cout << "Memory allocated for GPU graphics rendering.\n";

// Simulate starting the game engine

std::cout << "Starting game engine...\n";

delete[] graphicsMemory; // Clean up

return 0;

}

2. Operating System Development

• Languages: C, C++, Python (for utilities)

• Purpose: Developing the kernel and OS for hardware abstraction and user-space processes.

• Kernel Code Example (C) – Implementing a simple syscall:

#include <stdio.h>

#include <unistd.h>

int main() {

// Example of invoking a custom system call

syscall(0); // System call 0 - usually reserved for read in UNIX-like systems

printf("System call executed\n");

return 0;

}

3. Software Development Kit (SDK)

• Languages: C++, Python (for tooling), Vulkan or DirectX (for graphics APIs)

• Purpose: Provide libraries and tools for developers to create games.

• Example SDK Code (Vulkan API with C++):

#include <vulkan/vulkan.h>

VkInstance instance;

void initVulkan() {

VkApplicationInfo appInfo = {};

appInfo.sType = VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_APPLICATION_INFO;

appInfo.pApplicationName = "GameApp";

appInfo.applicationVersion = VK_MAKE_VERSION(1, 0, 0);

appInfo.pEngineName = "GameEngine";

appInfo.engineVersion = VK_MAKE_VERSION(1, 0, 0);

appInfo.apiVersion = VK_API_VERSION_1_0;

VkInstanceCreateInfo createInfo = {};

createInfo.sType = VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_INSTANCE_CREATE_INFO;

createInfo.pApplicationInfo = &appInfo;

vkCreateInstance(&createInfo, nullptr, &instance);

std::cout << "Vulkan SDK Initialized\n";

}

4. User Interface (UI) Development

• Languages: JavaScript, HTML, CSS (for UI), Python (backend)

• Purpose: Front-end interface design for the user experience and dashboard.

• Example UI Code (HTML/CSS/JavaScript):

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>

<title>Console Dashboard</title>

<style>

body { font-family: Arial, sans-serif; background-color: #282c34; color: white; }

.menu { display: flex; justify-content: center; margin-top: 50px; }

.menu button { padding: 15px 30px; margin: 10px; background-color: #61dafb; border: none; cursor: pointer; }

</style>

</head>

<body>

<div class="menu">

<button onclick="startGame()">Start Game</button>

<button onclick="openStore()">Store</button>

</div>

<script>

function startGame() {

alert("Starting Game...");

}

function openStore() {

alert("Opening Store...");

}

</script>

</body>

</html>

5. Digital Store Integration

• Languages: Python (backend), MySQL (database), JavaScript (frontend)

• Purpose: A backend system for purchasing and managing digital game licenses.

• Example Backend Code (Python with MySQL):

import mysql.connector

def connect_db():

db = mysql.connector.connect(

host="localhost",

user="admin",

password="password",

database="game_store"

)

return db

def fetch_games():

db = connect_db()

cursor = db.cursor()

cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM games")

games = cursor.fetchall()

for game in games:

print(f"Game ID: {game[0]}, Name: {game[1]}, Price: {game[2]}")

db.close()

fetch_games()

6. Security Framework Implementation

• Languages: C++, Python, Perl (for system scripts)

• Purpose: Ensure data integrity, authentication, and encryption.

• Example Code (Python – Encrypting User Data):

from cryptography.fernet import Fernet

# Generate a key for encryption

key = Fernet.generate_key()

cipher_suite = Fernet(key)

# Encrypt sensitive user information (e.g., account password)

password = b"SuperSecretPassword"

encrypted_password = cipher_suite.encrypt(password)

print(f"Encrypted Password: {encrypted_password}")

# Decrypting the password

decrypted_password = cipher_suite.decrypt(encrypted_password)

print(f"Decrypted Password: {decrypted_password}")

7. Testing and Quality Assurance

• Languages: Python (for automated tests), Jest (for JavaScript testing)

• Purpose: Unit testing, integration testing, and debugging.

• Example Unit Test (Python using unittest):

import unittest

def add(a, b):

return a + b

class TestGameFramework(unittest.TestCase):

def test_add(self):

self.assertEqual(add(10, 20), 30)

if __name__ == '__main__':

unittest.main()

8. Order of Implementation

• Phase 1: Focus on core system architecture (low-level C/C++) and OS development.

• Phase 2: Develop SDK and start building the basic framework for UI and input management.

• Phase 3: Work on backend systems like the digital store and integrate with front-end UI.

• Phase 4: Begin rigorous testing and debugging using automated test suites.

This comprehensive approach gives you a detailed idea of how each component can be built using a combination of these languages and technologies. Each section is modular, allowing teams to work on different aspects of the console simultaneously.

UBUNTU TOUCH | DAY ONE

If you didn't see one of my previous posts, I've got a phone to experiment with, and I'm gonna be trying out various mobile operating systems! (Primarily linux based! Not that android isn't linux but lets be real.) please ignore my greasy ugly hand Installation Process: The installation actually wasn't that bad! Was kinda awkward trying to get the phone updated to the correct version without upgrading too far, but after that was dealt with everything else was taken care of very smoothly and easily with the UB Ports custom installer! Didn't have a fail state, nor did the phone brick! I'd rate this an 8/10! Setup and Tutorial: Setting up the phone after the install was very fast, frankly there wasn't much to set up. Thankfully it's not like Google or Apple where they ask for your firstborn son before even asking for your SIM card. Just needed to set up a password/passcode, set up my SIM (Which was thankfully automatic kinda, details later) and confirm a Wi-Fi connection if I wanted to!) Tutorial however, was a bit lackluster. While it was descriptive, it also only popped up on my first time seeing each screen. (E.g. I didn't get the tutorial for the phone app until I opened the phone app.) While I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing, it also means I would need to walk through every inbuilt app to make sure the tutorials are all done. kinda annoying in my personal opinion. Overall I'd rate this 6~7/10. Usage and Experience: For day one this isn't super important, however first impressions do matter for most people. The OS as a whole was very snappy, and never froze or lagged in any of my testing. Additionally, the pull-down shade is very nice! Could be simplified a little more so that you don't need to scroll sideways, and it would also be nice to see more settings overall since the system seems to be quite bare for settings at the moment. However one of the things that really bothers me as a button-enjoyer is the OS not having a button navigation method. The only way to navigate between screens is to swipe from the sides, top or bottom as gestures, similar to Apple and the recent Android iterations. These gestures don't even work perfectly either, which makes it more annoying that I don't have a home button or back button. If there is a home-swipe or back-swipe, then the tutorial did not detail it, and I cannot find it anywhere in the settings. Overall, it's a 4/10 but with LOTS of potential! Functionality: This focus' almost entirely on how it functions as a phone, and if it's problematic for any reason. So far it seems great outside of one issue, as commented on earlier (This is the details later bit lmao). Plugged an active SIM card into the phone and it automatically logged the APN and other important information which was very nice. Tested the mobile data and texting, and found no issues except for maybe being unable to send MMS (Need to double check that it was not a file size issue.) However, this entire time I've not had the ability to make or take calls. I'm not sure why, the APN, provider, and everything in the settings is correct to what I can tell. I may attempt to either reinstall the dialer application, or erase and manually set the APN in the event that might fix it. If I cannot get calling to work this score will look a lot uglier. Overall, it's a 7~8/10! for now.

App Availability: Seems great! The built in app-store, or "OpenStore" is pretty cool, and seems to have a lot of useful apps. I did notice a small fraction of android apps that I could use (Like Slack, thanks workplace -ﻌ-) but they were just WebUI apps, which isn't bad, but it's bad. I haven't attempted to set up or use Waydroid, but I will not have that change the score at all since using Android apps (kinda barely) defeats the purpose of an alternative operating system. Overall score, 8/10, but needs a deeper dive.

I'll likely put out another update at either 15 days or 30 days!

Whenever you guys think you want one!
