Didn't we have a *nix loader available for us a year or two ago? Though I remembered seeing posts on that, but the links were dead by the time I decided to kill my phone.
Keep an eye on this.

Ubuntu stated that the OS works better on multi-core devices. We can still try to see if it works...

Seeing what it did to some of the nexus 4 peoples phone I think it's a crap shot and very risky. There is a git that just got his nexus two days ago and already bricked out from flashing a alpha build of Ubuntu mobile.

Yeah I messed around with it yesterday on my galaxy nexus. It's still in the very beginning of alpha stages in my opinion.
But there were allot of people having trouble going back to android afterwards on the galaxy nexus forums but no bricks. It's a cool idea but I think it needs some time to mature like android did.

Since Ubuntu is using CM as source I'd say it's possible. They seem to be optimizing it towards duel core(possibly quad by the time it's fully released) devices though. So why it should be portable to this phone the experience may be less the stellar. Think of running a new PC game on a three year old PC and you get the idea.

I hear it builds just like CM. A guy is building it for the Rocket as we speak. Or trying to. It's still so early in the development phase that even getting it to boot will be a challenge in and of itself. But you know the deal. You build it I'll log it. I'll have to look into what package would be needed to log it. lol

since they use cm as a base I don't see why it wouldn't since Erik got cm10.1 to work on this device.

The biggest hurdle from what I seen posted is the transition of VM between android and Ubuntu. For the most part I think the issues with building and actually getting it to boot is the different Vm the two OS's use.
I wanna post the link just to say that I didn't see it on this thread twice already but here:

Although it looks pretty cool, the only thing I use Ubuntu for is for Eclipse and I wouldn't program Java in a phone. If it's on a Nexus 7 (other tablets too) then OK, but why would anyone want Ubuntu on their phones? Serious, not hating.
Being able to run both Ubuntu apps and Android would be fun.

anyone start toying with it yet?

I am on too slow of a connection to download and mess with it but just from reading the notes it looks like the press conference REALLY left a lot of important features unmentioned. Another thing I found odd was that there was zero mention of the "one OS to rule them all." I would have thought Google would make a bigger deal about this being a unifying version of the OS.
I just tried it and I must say it rocks.
I really like the browser
I just feel that they could have been a bit more creative with the home launcher since it kinda reminds me of adw, but other than that everything rocks

So, if someone could just port it to our phone
are you really worrying, if ICS will be available for the NS?! or did i miss something?
no worries, mates, as far as i have read the statements of google, ICS will definitely come for the NS! of course they have to bring it, i'd buy an f*ing iphone, if my not even 1 year old developer phone was no longer supported! (ok, it was a bluff, i'd never buy that brick, but i'd be really pissed! )
the last thing i read about it was, that they first of all work on the NS-rollout...though i don't think, that it will happen before the galaxy nexus is published...
Edit: "Google Android Chief Andy Rubin stated that Ice Cream Sandwich is on schedule to roll out “a couple of week after” the Galaxy Nexus arrives in the marketplace." -> that may take some time, maybe a christmas present?

It has to come out for ANY phone before that can happen. Besides we will be the second phone to get it so i'm imagining we will have an official before there is ever a port, so just settle down :
With the announcement of webOS moving to a open source platform, am I the only one wishing for a port of webOS to the Charges' hardware? Sure its not the most powerful phone or neither does it have the strongest developer base, but I'm still hoping for it one day. This is coming from a person who had a Palm Pre Plus prior to my D'Charge, so therefore I'm very familiar with the way webOS works and I still today miss it the fluidity of the platform. So let me know, am I alone?
In theory, I suppose it could be done, as WebOS is also Linux based. However, it would take a LOT of work-I think the time put into such a project would not equal the number of people who would want to use it.

In all honesty I would like to see ICS before I would like to see WebOS, but I feel like these ports would be coming from different teams. From one corner their will be developers working to get ICS to all non-nexus devices and in the other corner their will be people working to get WebOS on android devices and once its done here it will be picked up by other developers and tweaked to work on the particular device they're developing for.

WP7 is impossible. One, it's closed source. Two, it's not Linux based, unlike webOS and Android.

Since Web OS is turned in to open source, can we port it to our Nexus S?

It'll be a good while I think. The only reason the 3VO has the LOCKSCREEN is that it and the touchpad have the same SoC. The Nexus S doesn't have the same innards. It'd be like putting ice cream in a microwave to freeze it. I kinda want to play with an alpha build, but I think it'll take like 3 or 4 weeks... Now someone prove me wrong!
Would be well worth it if we could dual boot.
I thought this the second I saw this went open source.
Follow the leader @corythug
It's linux based, but I imagine it being a PITA to port to another device... I know the source will help, but we'll have to see about camera drivers + hardware drivers... like it might boot but will probably be mostly useless.
common how do get developers to notice this..itd be cool to run a totally different os...i dont think there is any other os like this ported already is there...???

Only reason I say vaporware is because it was announced in February and nothing has come of it since.

The hype of android is now over. It has become a PC like thing against apple. So history is repeating itself. Yes we know they now have a large app base unlike in 2011, when the big titles were only on ios. But now things are changed. We all know that android turns into a giant and this transformation was rapid. But if we see in detail its just like microsoft and intel. A new processor with more hertz and a new windows. So now is the point when all the ics and jb devices can do everything alike besides games.
Kids who own their devices to play games are justified to get an upgrade but for a lil older folks and retired teens. I find hard to get a reason to upgrade to some different size, when i am so used to of my phone. Its been 2 years that i am having my phone. There are lot of phones in the market now some even more bigger and some slightly small. But there is no other phone with 5.3 inch screen size. Which i think is the ideal and max for the pocket.
The bad thing that happened is that i cant use even a slightly small phone because it feels very small.
Anyone agreeing with my view or any criticism is appeciated.

Android is basically a version of linux, jist its UI was newwhen it first came. More compatible on a phone. But if u look close. Its just the same linux that we use on the PCs. The hard part is we all just switched to android without asking them about the security of it. There ia no official claim about how secure it is. I like apple because they ade their system atleast secure.

Has your data been stolen off your phone? Linux has built in security and you can't do anything major without root plus Jelly bean android added security features. Just as long as you don't download apps from unknown sources you are fine. Now we can see the OP is just another clueless apple troll.
Android
Well there's loads of devices out there for Android, yet there are some form factors that I'd like to see on a high end phone but doesn't come...
For instance, I wanna see a Palm Pre like QWERTY portrait slider... Also a regular QWERTY candy bar phone...
Why do the manufacturer's think that Android doesn't need a physical keyboard? The ones that do come out with physical kbs these days are poor designs and low end phones. I can think of a few people in my family who would love an Android phone with a proper physical kb.
Development have been slow for 4.3, even in Nexus community. Some ROM builders/ teams have stopped development completely. That's something bad.
androids are cool
Actually since the security issues. People are not going custom or rooted. Plus going custom is what fascinates the teens and younger folks. Its also time consuming backing up data and restoring on the newly flashed system and then going back. People now simply wait for the official update, in the past it took even a year for ics to come but now the process is quickened.
Devs are not investing time to make custom rather they are going for app development.

Well, I think it depends... In my case I love to have devices running like I want (and no like brands want). So I don't have problem with do some backups and then try and mod some Roms.
Until when??? I have been doing this for 3 years. There is a point when you are fed up of just trying to make something perfect which according to you always have room for something new. So its just a blind chase. In the end its just a lil browsing some games messaging and calls that we have to make. A little social networking too if you use your phone cam
