You guys think we'll get Ubuntu phone OS? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

Not really a big deal but it would be cool to see on our skyrocket. Our developers are so awesome so it wouldn't surprise me to see it. Getting it on nexus 7 and would love to have it on both.

Honestly probably not; and I think it's a gimmick at the moment. A phone entirely controlled by gestures? Sounds great in theory, but not great in practice

I guess I'll find out soon enough on my nexus 7.

It gets open sourced on the 21st so anyone can take a shot at porting it.

one word: BB10, blackbery's new os is entirely gesture drive
but we don't have enough devs for a port of something like this, its massive... I truly believe that unless a device with similar chip set/CPU gets it we likely won't. Don't get me wrong our devs are great, just few

Would be nice, as would Firefox OS but i'm more hot for Ubuntu for Android as that would finally rid me of having a technically unnecessary pc

I use a gesture based OS on my blackberry playbook daily. It is incredibly smooth when done correctly. If Ubuntu does it correctly, then I wouldn't mind having it ported. If it's done badly, then it just wouldn't be worth it.

True, this leads me to believe it won't be as hard as people are thinking to get this to build yes it will involve a lot of work but I'm not thinking its going to be some herculean task.

I was reading it and cannocal says it's supposed to be easy to port. I just hope our phone will be able to run it smoothly. It should but I guess we'll just have to find out.

Working on porting it now actually if git servers ever decide to sync.

I hope it's easy to do. I love android but I've always wanted to try a different operating system. Not gonna make it permanent but it'd be cool to use sometimes. Anyone know if you can back it up with recovery and restore it later? I'll ask over in the nexus 7 forums as well.
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app

You can if you make a flashable zip. Installing via bootstrapper deletes everything iirc.

Cannocal has already made a flashable zip for the nexus devices. You have to fastboot flash a .img file.

people are dying senselessly around the world, and you are complaining that you don't have a silly ROM? really?
don't mean to be such a downer, but folks need to be more thankful with what they've got rather than worried about the things that they don't have.

I love how everyone always assumes that it's Samsung's decision. It isn't, or at least it isn't completely their decision. They're at the mercy of the chipset maker as to what they can release...they're using proprietary VIA code, and it's up to them as to how much Samsung is even allowed to release.
Bet Verizon is part of the problem as well.

JB for certain (AOSP was too large). For ICS, they were at minimum saying that OS plus TouchWiz would be too much, let alone after VZW adds all of their bulk.
This is sad news, especially when this p.o.s can get ICS, and the charge cannot. Makes me even more regretful for buying my charge for 300.

Yes it would be very cool; if only from a novelty standpoint. But it isn't going to happen for many reasons including hardware, licensing, IP, and the DMCA and its chilling effect upon research in a legal gray-area.

I just watched the video on Ubuntu for phones os and its looks great! On the website, there's option for the lite version that will work with phones with minimum single core.
