TechCrunch: The First Ubuntu Smartphones Will Debut In October. http://goo.gl/mag/U3zcak6
Dev previews later this month. Just curious if anyone else is interested enough to poke our hox devs into a working port =D

It wouldn't hurt for you to take a look at porting

We have a talented pool of devs here. I wouldn't be surprised if one or more of them took it as a side hobby.

Absolutely

I definitely wouldn't mind try this out! Would be great to see the full force of Ubuntu on this amazing phone.

this operating system for phones is going to be great.

I'm more curious about the firefox OS than this, honestly. Android is already a bastard child of linux, so Ubuntu isn't going to be any stretch beyond getting drivers and a dialer working.

The source comes out next week. Anyone gave plans on porting?

After being forced to use ubuntu for a project (instead of redhat/centos) I very much dislike ubuntu.

I would love to see Ubuntu ported to my Evita. I have already run BT5 via chroot and android vnc but having it ported would be f-ing awesome!
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

I want gentooOS

hmm
i imagine this wont be easy and probably a bad idea for a n00b like myself but im happy to put in the time and effort to bring ubuntu to the evita if theres someone out there willing to provide general instruction. is a true port possible or will it have to be built from source?
if any devs have some ideas of where to start ill gladly take a good hard crack at it when its released this week. if not, well just have to be patient and wait for the real developers to do the job :cyclops:

Apparently you should be able to drop in an android kernel. So a port should be possible without compiling the kernel. Really lookig forward to seeing ubuntu on my phone.

[POLL] rom aggrandizement

So, I really, really don't want to come back to HTC while AT&T has them bent over. However I did tell everyone I was going to make a rom for this device. If jcase gets it unlocked tomorrow I will be a bit more inclined to do it. The thought of playing the Apple cat and mouse game with an android device isn't very appealing to me at all!
So I leave this up to you! Should I make a rom for the AT&T One X? (added a poll)

Yes DG, PLEASE>>>>
With the root method out now and the possibility of Jcase getting the bootloader unlocked, i'll have to say YES!!!
I say yes. There's always room for ROMs when there's nothing yet out there.
I love your work DG. We would love to see a rom from you. The bootloader issue will pass soon one way or another.
This is a beautiful device with beautiful internals. All we need is a sexy rom to top it off

I was just saying to someone the other day. I put a Sense 4 Rom on this bad boy the other day, & it truly felt like new device! I'm sure I will eventually get a new phone, but I will keep this phone, if for nothing else to play with! I can't imagine parting with it, in fact, I've sold a couple in the past, & I still miss them!

AT&T jellybean update?

Y'all think AT&T has plans to update straight to 4.2 instead of 4.1.1 seeing as how the hox+ update is already in progress.

doubt it. they'll probably update it to 4.1.1, and then that'll be the last update we see from them.

I read this on a google news search might be BS but I'd love it. And most phones usually get at the most one or two updates small or big doesn't matter too the companies, seeing as how they would want there customers to upgrade their phones in the name of making more money.

i'm growing increasingly impatient with htc. Once you go Nexus nothing really compares after imo
I think that is the main reason why jellybean is so late. They are going to give us that one update and that's it.

Its a tough call for me. Nexus devices are supported pretty darn well. I mean, nexus s got jellybean and it can barely run it. (read run it smoothly for longer than two weeks)
But on the other hand, I tried a phone with no sense available, and I realized how much I liked sense (even though I'm only on it like half the time)
But my point is, sense is the slickest, most coherent ui overlay, and that has got to take time to do properly. Yeah, yeah, they drag their heels so we upgrade...but in all fairness, I do think they put a lot of work into it.
I think in the end I've decided that a stable version of sense is worth two of aosp. That's just my personal opinion.
After a decent aosp jellybean was released for desire z, I found myself still running gb sense 2.1. It was just a great OS that was hard to fault.
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda app-developers app
Yeah, they'll give us 4.2.1 with sense 5 because AT&T is the best!

ATT is run by an arrogant ahole who only cares about the stock price(Randall Stevenson I'm calling you out). Why actually spend money on getting us JB when he can continue to line his pockets. "Eat the rich, its the only thing that they are good for"-Aerosmith
Couldn't be truer. Do nothing paper pushing thieves. He cost att billions in the failed tmo merger and got a 20+ million bonus and then they re-elected him. Ponderous to say the least. If anyone of us cost their company billions, we would be fired and probably brought up on charges.

Att has no reason to give us anything. We already got one update I doubt that a second one is coming. They have a hox+ and sg3 to sell, why would they care about the hoxl.

[Q] Liquid Smooth vs Carbon ROM

I flashed over carbon as I see the devs left team liquid. I honestly do not see any difference. But I do want the most stable. Especially partial reboots during normal tasks like enabling USB mode. Anyone else have thoughts? I hope this is the right thread. If not, mods can you correct it? Thank you.

All i know for sure is, i'm gonna do my best to get my hands on the next nexus phone. They're tough to get a hold of here though. Carriers and stores don't seem to carry them so I'll probably have to order it online.
Had the evo3d before this phone and while HTC tends to have a great build quality which I love. I am just so in love with stock android and the idea of getting updates as fast as they can be released is a sexy idea indeed.
Online is always the best option. But the play store (computer) should always carry them. Especially the nexus 4. 299 for an unlocked high end device? Can't beat that with a chicken bat

One X sense 5

Because development.
And when the official sense 5 gets released, they can get rid of their current project and transfer all files needed for themes and tweaks to the solid base. So it will continue.
It took forever the get the 3.18 update... What makes you think ATT will release it as soon as they get it?

Because they can. Because they want to. Because as Imagio said it's a great way to learn. Because development is great no matter what the circumstances.

Sent from my HTC One XL using xda app-developers app
OP misses one of the main points of XDA: to get the latest and greatest firmware on your device, despite the fact that your carrier or manufacturer hasn't gotten around to releasing it officially yet.
Besides, August is just a rumor, not official. And Jellybean for the quad core ENDEAVORU has preceded our version (EVITA) by a few months. I wouldn't be surprised to see the same prioritization to happen again for Sense 5. And even once it comes to the EVITA, it will almost certainly be further delayed by AT&T; with work by the awesome devs here being our only saviour in that case.
Having Sense 5 at least 3 months (possibly much longer) than it being released "officially". That is the obvious reason "why".

If the above was flaming, it was a very light one, to say the least. All that was said is that this was a "waste of a thread". Which is no more inflammatory (less so, I'd say) than saying devs are "just wasting their time with all this porting".
The devs here do awesome work selflessly, with little gratitude or return. Lots of folks seem to really love the Sense 5 port. Saying its a "waste of time" is in bad taste, IMO.
Because if you build it, they will come.
