Will we be able to hopefully run Ubuntu Touch/Ubuntu Phone on the photon? It is available for Nexus Devices but Since the Photon has official unlock...

Ubuntu OS is basically CM10.1 without dalvik from what I've heard....
I also heard Nexus devices don't run it very well at all. Give it time, if it really is just CM10.1, it will probably work...
It is still in its development stages. I would gladly assist in porting however this device is my personal device and I can not afford to mess it up. I was wondering if anyone was interested in trying to port it.

what you mean is "Ubuntu for Android". "Ubuntu Phone" is another project and the only thing what is has in common with android ist the kernel. And since we have the kernel sources for our phone, it should be not impossible to port it to the photon Q.

Look at the "Ubuntu Phone" source. It's basically CM10.1 chrooting to an Ubuntu environment...
Just hope ubuntu will officially support this device

That's "Ubuntu for Android" and is something tottaly different from "Ubuntu Touch".
Ubuntu touch would be awesome on this phone and now that we have 10.1 which seems to work very well on my phone its probably going to be coming soon.... fingers crossed....

Hey all, I bet alot of us Sidekick 4g owners are wondering the same question ... Can we install ubuntu on our Sidekick 4g? Is Someone or group or team doing so?
Doesn't seem very likely. I have not heard of any android phones running ubuntu. I could be wrong though

sofar i checked out linux installer on the market place but it was saying the device lacked a few dozen commands for terminal to work I think it be more possible if we had gingerbread on our phones an developement for loop devices.

What would help is if one of our devs could tell us if there is loop device support for the roms that are avail cause thats what you need to get chroot linux running. If memory serves me right adam outler was thinking about deving a linux distro for our phone while he was working on the UNBRICKABLE mod for our phone.
U can ask adamoutler he has had interest obtaining ubuntu but does not have the device or one of disposal

As of right now, what is holding us back from porting gingerbread to our sidekicks? Is it drivers? Or a 2.3 kernel that runs? I need a list of what needs to be done exactly.

Thank you, but I've seen both of those and followed them to the end. I'm looking for a specific list of what is needed to port gingerbread to our device. As in i may take up the task of porting it
Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA
Would probably be a good idea to continue where windixxi left off since hes the closest person to get ginger working on our phone.
i think i remember Sduvick explaining that the drivers for this device are not exactly generic, so we really need an official Gingerbread kernel from Samsung. i'm pretty sure he tried porting a gb kernel from another device, but without updated drivers for the SK4G, it was basically impossible. that's how i understand it anyway.
Thank you yogi for the info and yes pintek im aware of windxixi great work but i cant figure out his github at all. Its not labeled well.. so more or less its a drivers issue?

Basically? That's what I understood as well.
So instead of trying to port drivers we would have to write new drivers in theory since we don't have a source to build from?

Thanks for the reading orange. Gave me the idea that the kernel is going to have to be a makeshift mix and match type thing from kernels from multiple phones.

I agree.
As mentioned previously, maybe windixxi can provide some insight as well.
You're probably going to need some experience and knowledge of coding (i.e. C, Python, Java) and access to a Linux rig of some sort as well..
Yes im going to setup a linux enviroment soon i was thinking ubuntu but i havent setup a linux in a while are their any better alternatives?

I recommend installing a hard drive specifically for your Linux environment and using the bios to switch between your boot OS.
But, I also have Ubuntu installed inside of VirtualBox. It's a bit slow, but it works inside of Windows.
so awesome that Samsung are such *****es about this haha
Sounds like i may be in need of a better computer. Ill see what i can do with what i have and start looking into kernels with stuff we need
Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA
I think there's a kernel guide here you could look at.
A OC/UV Kernel would be fabulous.

I might try that to get me back into the groove of things, things are going slow with classes though so nobody should get their hopes up yet. But if i manage to buil an oc/uv kernel sucessfully, then my next project will be working on a gingerbread kernel. Ill keep you guys posted in the weeks to come.

If you (or other SK4G developers) are interested, I may be able to arrange a build server.
As in a place to host the kernels we build?

Not really not, maybe if you could say what phone its possible, but it would have to have good enough spec to run, then have a unlocked boot loader and be able to boot a different OS, then you would need drivers for that devices hardware
not possible according to me...
even if its possible then you'll need to unlock the bootloader ..which might be tedious ..!

Unfortunately you can't just "install" Android as you would Linux, Windows or even Mac OS X. When manufacturers compile Android (or their forks of such), they compile it with very specific drivers that are appropriate only for the specific device it's built for.
Some devices like the HTC HD2 got amazing Android ports simply because said device is so similar to many other Android devices and most of the hardware drivers for WiFi, bluetooth, etc already existed.
Is there a specific phone you are wanting to port Android to?

You can't install Windows or Mac OS X on a PHONE. Not even in la-la land.
Okay.....can we install windows OS in android????
Sent from my GT-S7562 using xda premium
No you can't, because Windows Mobile or Windows Phone are not Open Source.
I have two phones with thee same performance and same CPU but one of them has WM and the other one Android.
There is no way to install WM on Android.
But some developers find a way to install android on some wm devices.

Frankly speaking I am not impressed with ubuntu os. Everywhere just swiping here and there is ridiculous. Also most of the basic apps still dont work in it. We should wait for official release of ubuntu with major impressive imptovements. And most imp we have major issues with kernel 3.0 which has to be first solve for stable CM rom. Only then we should proceed with ubuntu.
How can I port pa 4.45 stable from the nexus 7 (2012)? I think that an asop based rom would do better for porting Asus apps.

With great difficulty.
You should look at building it from the PA sources on their github instead.

You will need to install linux to start preferably on a machine as dual boot or stand alone or in a virtual machine.
Do a google search for building android roms from source on github. It'll have way more info on how to do it than I could possible type out for you here.
It'll be quite journey for you
You need to clone some repos on git and then you can start to build for the TF700.

I was just looking around in the asopa legacy git and saw that they already have a device tree for the tf201, would it be less work to edit that to make it compatible with the tf700 than forking from cm?

Probably not, depending on how old it is, but you can use it as a reference. Also compare the TF201 trees of PA and CM to see if there are any PA-specific things to be done.
