[REQUEST] Ubuntu ROM for SG2 tab 10.1 - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So what are the chances of someone porting this to our tablet? Is this even a remote possibility? I've been seeing this floating around on other tablets and phones and the thought of it makes me drool!

But Ubuntu rom is still a work in progress, when I ran it on my phone much of it was just mockups. There may be more functionality since then but I highly doubt it's usable enough to be a daily driver

Thanks I'd definitely like to see something come for our tabs in this way.

Honeycomb

Guys I have a question about a Honeycomb port. Is anyone working in one. I know that the zoom is LTE capable so is there a way to port that onto the thunderbolt. Wouldn't that be even a lil easier than porting gb.

Honeycomb is a tablet Ui and runs on a ten inch tablet. I don't know how well it would work on a phone. Would be cool to play with honeycomb but it wouldn't be a daily driver. Gingerbread is for phones and there are builds for this phone so that's definitely easier

But I have a friend using it on his hd2. A daily driver would be nice but even something to play with would be fun. Plus I know there are ports too other phones

Devs are already working on it for other phones, but it does not support calls.

Tablet question

What tablet has the most Roms or biggest community? Amongst tablets I have EVO 3d rooted so I assume rooting a tablet is not much different, or am I mistaken?
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Oh what tablet would you all suggest ?
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Wait and get the Transformer Prime. If you must get one now get one of the Galaxy Tab variants.
I would say iPad 2
Sorry but nothing Apple for me except an itouch
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Apple is too expensive. For no reasons. Almost all programs in market are not free. So why you need Apple if you can have android and do almost everything for free and have better support (it is my opinion on support)
I got the new nook for my first tablet. It doesn'tcome out till the 14th though... I figure for 250 if I dontlike it my mother won't need a kindle fire lol

Which galaxy tab?
Sent from my GT-P6810 using XDA Premium HD app
I own a hptouchpad and i highly recommend it

The touch pad is cheaper, but it really depends on what Galaxy Tab you're looking at.

choice
galaxy tab...try azuz transform..!!
I would go for one of the asus tabs, the transformer prime would be a great choice.
I checked the Asus, and its too expensive, so, im between these two

Touchpad is great if you are into flashing roms and tweaking a bit. We have official cm9 nightlies now and its stable enough for everyday use imo, except camera and mic dont work yet. But you can always boot into webos.

Windows 8

Hi!!! I am looking for a ROM or theme that is stable that looks just like windows 8. I like the look of them, just hate the windows phones!! Does anyone know where I can find that?
Thanks!

There should be an option to show the bar. Have you tried launcher7?

Click to expand...

This is your best bet for a Windows Phone-like experience on an Android phone. It's actually kind of neat. For a minute or two.
But if you prefer the WP environment, just hunt through the launchers til a good one stands out. Also, for this I'd stick with an ICS rom for the time being.

Ubuntu for phones, will you get it for your g2x?

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. I'm loosing hope on fully functional jb on this phone and I feel this is the last resort other than buying a new phone. Are you guys going to install it when it releases?
I really want to. But I just don't know how to go about doing that. Also your right, jb is just a maybe, and honestly I really want something stable and fast

As long as most of the things work, I'm installing it as soon as it launches.

Indeed this is a breakthrough.... I am waiting for something like this to be installed on my nokia e7
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Correct me, but did it not say it will have to be ported? I was reading if all devices will be getting it. Maybe it will be similar how cyanogen mod work and has different devs for different devices.
I would love to help with that if that is the case.

The Ubuntu website said that this odd based off the android kernel. It's probably ics kernel because it was on g nexus. This could be notable for us, we may never get this fully working.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
I will give it a shot if it ever comes on this phone
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
Uhhh, it'd be the same inherent problem we currently have with trying to get jellybean on these phones...nvidia (closed source) chips. Right? Drivers are pretty important little buggars.
We may have problems yes. But I still would be very happy to be sportin' ubuntu on my phone.

IMO, ubuntu on the G2x sounds amazing.
I'll be watching for such development from my polished turd of a device...
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
Definitely will try it.
Well hopefully the tegra 2 wont give Ubuntu issues
Sent from my MB886 using xda premium
It will give you problems, one of the requirements for Ubuntu on phones is that the have to be able to run ics or jb, nvidia drivers are required.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
Yup from now on stay away from LG and Motorola phones
Sent from my MB886 using xda premium
Except nexus 4. Google handles the updates not lg.

Yeah u r rite on that one . I also have a motorola atrix hd at its bootloader its locked i dont understand how google would lock it
Sent from my MB886 using xda premium
Not having the Java overhead would make it feel like a new phone. Hopefully it can be ported.

There's a good chance this will run on Mazout's CM10.1 unofficial (no radio), and now that Mazout has compiled a fairly easy dual-boot option to this ROM it will be a lot easier to experiment with.

Well hopefully but knowing our device !!! Who knows lol
