Keep up the great work!

That is awesome! Also interested

I can't wait!

Nice development! Looking forward to see some more ^^

Nice. someone actually trying to work on Ubuntu Touch.

'Since I've been fiddling around anyway the last few days, I'd like to try this too. Keep it up, rabits! Wishing you good luck, and a pleasant journey.

First build
Hi guys, for now we have teh first build!)) Long live linux!)

Thanks a lot for the downloadable binaries ! Have been stuck downloading the repos for what seems an eternaty.
Gonna test it first on an old i9000 i have laying around. Smooth. Long live linux and long live o'rabits the great one.
Do we have a terminal hidden somewhere? I might be blind and dumb, but i cant find it :/

AW: [DEV] Ubuntu Touch Preview on Infinity tf700
Thanks! Great to see that development picked up so fast.
I can report that it is working as a developer build should. I basically only tested WiFi. It connected to my network and I could browse the web with the browser!
One major glitch is that the keyboard seems to be out of bounds.

Is it working with CROMI?

Yes!!! Thank you

No, currently it totally replaces /system partition. But you don't need to wipe /data partition - you can simple reinstall CROMI or other Android without lose any data (except /system, of course).
Currently I'm working on multiboot and it will support linux, android and ubuntu-touch to boot from hardware devices (internal emmc, sdcards, usb media) or virtual disk img files.

Will it be compatible with CROMI or you're planning on making only a CM version?

Dual boot xoom ?

I have 32gb wifi xoom running wingrey Team EOS nightly 4.1.1 JB i was wondering is there a way tomake the xoom a dual boot ( android / Linux ) i know i can install Linux nativly then go back to android via backup but a dual boot would be much easier something like the touchpad tri boot but only dual

What linux can be installed natively?
Open suse?
I do not know i am looking for info to see if it can be done or has already been done something similar to what was done to te hptouchpad
Sent from my Touchpad using XDA Premium HD app
Id say, if they can, we can too.
Bet developers can do but the question is if they want to?
It would be usefull to have both linux and android here on xoom
Yes it would with the ability to run linux natively you would think it could be done. It would be a matter of repartioning as well as boot.img . The whole native linux thing on the xoom is a pain use linux when done wipe and re flash a nandroid backup and then do it all over again. I guess i will have to mess around with my touchpads boot img and the xoom to see if i can get it work my touchpad runs linux,android and webos. Iwould haveto do some serious reprogramming on the files to make them work but I think it could be done

I'm no programmer but i wonder if it would be possible running something like Puppy Linux.
Puppy can boot from an SD card and run entirely in ram.It seems to me this would save a lot of work partitioning, etc. The developer is currently trying to adapt Puppy for ARM boards.
It's a great little distro I used for many years ( after BeOS got too old).
Hmmm interesting i will have to look into that tonight and see what I come up with

Any smooth(like 60 FPS+) ubuntu?

Well i've been arround on Q&A and installed the ubuntu version of :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1537566. Well it didnt go fast as i expected but i was happy that it worked.
Maybe other kernal compile?
Is there any latest tutorials or things that made ubuntu on transformer of any kind(Sbk1 + 2) faster?.
Nope the tegra 2 and the 1gig of ram cant muster enough power to pull of 60fps in unity. You might have better luck with a different gui

Have a look at my post here: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1824938) Enlightment window manager runs around 60fps and uses about half the ram then unity does.

Uhm how did u get xubuntu-desktop working? Same progress as normal ubuntu?
And how aboutfps 60?
So i have few more questions:
Which kernal is the best for use the ubuntu on the Tf 101 (Olife or Jhinta?) and how to inject it? (i know how to compile it its on the xda wikia)
I'm on SBK2 B80 Transformer so Olife might not work. I have compile the kernal by my own i think.

[Q] Android and Ubuntu dual boot

Is there a possibility to make dual boot on tf300 with ubuntu and android? Please dont show me how to use ubuntu on android, I want it natively.
I'm also interested

should be working in future as nvflash is now available. I just cannot answer the how but on other phones where nvflash is available there is a solution.
Ok but is there anyone who managed to do this on his device and could paste the tutorial he used or write what to do?
Take a look at this video

Thx for this, I've already seen this but as for me it doesnt look like a natively installed ubuntu with dual boot with android. It is a way to get ubuntu but i think it is not what I'm looking for. So does anyone know how to get real native ubuntu on tf300?

It's not available yet we don't have the necessary tools to do so. We need a special kernel used only to boot ubuntu on our tablet we don't have that so its currently not possible.

Do you know if anyone is working on such a kernel now? And does anyone have the video of ubuntu emulated on tf300t?

[Q] Ubuntu Phone/Touch

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...
Sent from my XT897 using xda premium
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....

Best ROM/kernel combo?

Been playing around with my tab again a bit and trying some different roms and such, and just wondering what some of you use for roms and kernels? Along with any specific cpu or gpu settings would be awesome!

I've tried CM10.1 and CROMi-X, but went back to CM10.1. CROMi felt a little more laggy, and it didn't seem to work as well with the keyboard dock (minor things like the settings key didn't work, it wouldn't mount a USB drive, etc). I really do NOT being forced into the phone UI, so I'm looking forward to when Paranoid Android is ready for prime time.

CleanRom is fully stock everything works fine due to this fact, either you only tried it during its early stages of 4.2.1 update or used a not so good kernel. As for the lag you did you have the latest twrp installed and updated boot loader. A clean install of cromi-x will never produce lag.
I would suggest Max's kernel always as it has dynamic fsync(disabled when device is on and enabled when device is off) and security features to avoid data corruption. Max's kernel is the most smoothest kernel there is and battery life is amazing!! :good::good:
So another question... In trying to update my bootloader , it still shows the old one in my settings about phone.... Even after is says complete.. How can I be sure it's the correct new one?
Thanks a lot everyone for the help!

There is no best rom/kernel combo, it is really up to you what you will prefer and what not, probably if you ask five different people you may get five different answers. Try many and then decide what suits you better.
