You could do what a lot of others have done and mount a img and chroot into it. while it's not booting into ubuntu you can do most of what you want. I know in the nook color forums(might be a few pages back) there should be a example that should work on our phones.

Its possible but I doubt there's any development on our phones. I know the Asus transformer tf101 has a few projects going on

I've run it before there are apps on the play store for installing Linux and backtrack using vpn. Grab one and replace the. Iso with whatever Ubuntu version you want.

[Q] Switching to Ubuntu

So I'm thinking about switching to Ubuntu completely from Windows 7.
Will Odin3 One-Click and Galaxy S One-Click Root/Unroot work in Ubuntu if I use Wine, or should I set up a Windows VM in Ubuntu?
Once again, thanks in advance!
I would just use heimdall.
Thanks! I'm definitely going to give it a try!
Yea I use ubuntu only and I use heimdall. It works great. If you are using a 32 bit version of ubuntu, you will have to compile heimdall yourself to make it work. The creator has step by step instructions how to do that inside of the source folder you will have to download. It is very easy to do.

If I switch to ubuntu, what is the best music and podcast manager?

Switching to open source programs and OS's is inevitable. Please stop supporting the evil companies as M$ and AppĀ£e. Thanks for the heimdall suggestion I never heard of it before.

Although unrelated to this thread, but the answer would be Rythmbox first followed by Banshee
I personally use VLC.

Install Linux via chroot with an app from the market (I forget what it's called just search for Linux and/or chroot) or find a way to get the hdparm binary on your transformer then run hdparm -t /dev/[device name] from the terminal. That's the only way I know about going about it.
Had native ubuntu but the speed of that to android was different transfering the same file took longer in android than linux
Any terminal commands or anything if theres not an app

[Q] Create custom ROM from source

Hello,
I have been looking around and I can't seem to find how to make a custom ROM from source. Thanks for any help.

There are plenty of guides but it depends on the device you want to build for, what source you want yo build from.. Oh and what OS you want to use (but im guessing you are talking about android)

You will need a 64bit linux install (ubuntu is recommended) and 16GB of RAM+SWAP is recommended (and swap should be about twice your ram so 6GB RAM then a 10GB swap partition would be best)

You need to create a swap partition on your harddrive using the likes of gpart.
Then as long as its enabled in the kernel it should kick in

Ubuntu for android

Ubuntu has been released for android. Will our devices be able to run it? If so, will it run well?
Sent from my Desire S using xda app-developers app
I get the feeling it won't work too well if it works at all.
I'm placing emphasis on dual-core on the website below.

What about apps?

Almost certainly not. Can you install them on Ubuntu on your desktop?

No they cannot but they should be easily portable since android and Ubuntu for android use the same kernel.

So, if some kind soul ports it (We are actually talking about Ubuntu phone, but not Ubuntu for android right?)
would it pop up on the android development forum?
Ubuntu
How big is this Ubuntu and more important could a sort of dual boot setup be created like on a PCM so the android os could be primary and perhaps Ubuntu could be on a partition on the flash card.
I got a 64gb sd card class 10 so I'm looking for ways of using my space creatively
