You can check the Wiki or the main thread, and set you system up for compiling the source. Unfortunately, Not a lot works yet as far as functionality Device wide.
It's a grand time to learn.

Is Ubuntu Touch also for tablets? I read phones and phablets. I tried to port Firefox OS for the HTC HD2, but failed due to lack of knowledge, incomplete guidance and the phone officially being an WM device.
Since the A51x (and A70x) both are Android devices from it's origin, it should be "easier".
From reading the beginning of the guide I can tell you I can't. I really need a more detailed step-to-step guide to work on something.
I hope there are people out there who are able to port it to the A51x and A70x series.
Edit:
Awesome! A700 owners can try the Ubuntu Touch pre-alpha on their tablets
As far as i can see, the porting guide is for Devices supported by Cyanogenmod, since Ubuntu touch is apparantly based on that. I guess there is some way to port it to the A51x Devices anyway, but i think there would be some major (and probably undocumented) work necessary

Hello.
I spoke with Ekoore that sell tablet PCs with Ubuntu. They did good work to make Unity interface more comfortable for working on tablets, but their tablets based on Intel Atom. So, they can give us their version of Ubuntu for porting it to ARM.
Ekoore said:
Dear Sir,
you can wait for next week, when we upgrade it to the new version of ubuntu. After this, we can talk about this porting. you have experience in this field?
Best Regards!

I have very tiny expirence, so I need help from you. I hope that we can port and install ekoore's software to NVidia's arm port of Ubuntu.
Hi!
So, I have a SBKv2 device, and I'm anscious to get a Linux distro in my tablet. But, I'm no expert in linux, so I need that some os the experts do that first...
My question: There is anyone working on that? Any news about when it is going to be ready?
Thanks
you can always choroot ubuntu using either the choroot ubuntu thread in DEV or the UBUNTU installer app in themes/apps. As for native no you cannot as it requires NVFlash which does not work on SBK2. there are pleanty of other threads on this and i am pretty sure all of your questions have been answered here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1191141
CHROOT is OK, but what would be nice is NVFLASH and the capability to install ANY alternative OS on SBK2 devices... Is there any progress being made? Or is it a problem that no one's looking at it?
Side note: very nice of asus to unlock the bootloader on the transformer prime, but i notice a lack of ability to do this on the TF-101 (SBK 2+ devices)... I'm not a legal expert, but can we start a class action law suit to force them to do this?
Hey, so last year I bought a China-Tablet called Zenithink C91, it seemed like a good choice back then.
However, the software on it is rubbish. The manufacturer didn't even bother to change anything from the reference software for the hardware platform, did no optimization whatsoever. For example the build.prop is a complete mess with dozens of duplicate lines and references to the reference platform from AMlogic. All the stock firmwares have phone functionality enabled, even though there is no gsm module, showing an empty signal indicator all the time. Or the shipped ICS with gingerbread gapps and so on. The Tablet is just not usable in this state because the software sucks so much, and they do not answer any questions or take advice. Therefore, no sources.
However, I think the Tablet could be much more useful, because it has a decent cortex a9 processor which runs at 1ghz, and a mali 300 gpu.
So much for the situation.
So for a long time I thought about trying to compile a new rom for it, to make it actually work like it should, but I cant find any advice which would help me, because all tutorials that I find require me to use devtrees for devices that already exist. But how would I go to create Android for a device which has none?. I could probably extract most drivers from the latest ICS build. How compatible are they with JB?
On a side note, I wanted trying to Port CWM recovery, does anyone have a pointer where to start?
Thanks and I hope I did not post in the wrong section.
I actually think that there is a source available for your tablet. Check out Slatedroid, as it's a forum dedicated to chinese tablets.
The problem atm is the new version of the amlogic's platform for which they haven't released sources yet.
Oh, and tutorial for Clockwork recovery:

Thanks for your reply, especially for the link concerning cwm.
I am aware of the slatedroid forum, and a user there, too. Zenithink did not publish any sources, I am very sure sadly.

Zenithink maybe didn't, but you can find amlogic sources (the chip/platform manufacturer) here:
http://openlinux.amlogic.com/wiki/index.php/Arm/Android/2.Getting_the_Source_Code
edit: that is if they are using that as a platform ofc, if they're not well from what I see on slate you're limited to modifying stock roms, same as we on elf/aurora ii devices
Yeah, the stock sources are there, but ZT modified them and does not release the changes. No chance then, I guess? Anybody know if there is a chance for JB based on the ICS rom?
Hello. I want to ask is it possible to run ubuntu on SGTab2? I mean pure desktop ubuntu, not mobile one, nor as virtual machine. All instructions I found deals with Nexus 7. The best will be installing Ubuntu as dualboot to Android(I'm using NEXT kernel, it supports dualboot). Does anybody know how to install it? Or maybe somebody even tried it?
Thank you for answer

Latest version of working ubuntu in single boot environment detailed in this thread

Thankyou, but no, not Ubuntu Touch. I asked about Ubuntu Desktop I heared that Nexus 7 users compiled VCMI(opensource version of heroes 3) right in it and are playing on their devices. I want it too Android port was abandoned more than year ago and no one pick it up...
Hi Guys I Want Someone Who Can Help Me To Build CM For MTK6575 .
I Have LG Optimus L4 II E440 Its MTK6575 Based Device And I Have Source Code .
I Think It Will Work On Other Devices .
Even if you have the source code for that device, you can't just build generically for anything with that processor as even if just one part of the device is changes that part would probably cease to function. Also when it comes to building something like that I'll see what I can do once I have a fully functional computer but the source is like 40 GB so it would be a big investment already just to download it. Which version of cm?

I made some 1.5 based rom at one point for my g1 but I remember like...none of it. Once you read up on building android you should be fine. I'll just warn you you will be working with BIG data, probably around 40gb to download.

I'll have to see. I have hard drive issues so I couldn't do it myself but I think I can guide you to a few good guides. There's a really good xdauniversity one I saw at one point I'll try to find.
