So I saw a ROM that makes your phone run on Ubuntu. What exactly is Ubuntu?

Ubuntu is another kind of operating sistem, buty it's stiull being tested and is suposed to reun smooth on devices that have at least 1gb of ram, the good side of it is that it uses the same code as android so android developers will probaply be able to make the apps available for ubuntu aswell, the downside of it is that if it uses the same android code it will be compatible only for phones that run originaly on android, as a android alternatove and no other OS is supported (when Google estimated that a open source system will speed up phone tech I guess they knew what they wore sayng)

I was wondering if I could flash a wp7 rom (lastest build) to my android phone (Motorola triumph 2.3.7 gb) ? Is that even possible?
Sent from my Motorola Triumph using xda premium
It's possible in theory since the Triumph uses Snapdragon processor.
Unfortunately, no one has publicly been able to port Windows Phone OS to Android devices.
Wp7 isn't open source, so it won't happen...
Other than hd2, no phone has windows phone ported

it would be frowned upon by microsoft for licensing... but who cares about EULA's ? i don't.
i'd imagine the small, incremental changes in chipsets would be problematic for the drivers to handle... given how driver updates have gone in windows in the past, and there is no driver update service on wp.

in xda some friends ported succesfully wp7 on toshiba tg01
and even there are some troubles like camera and signal otherwise it work
therefore maybe one day...
Technically HTC evo should be able to have a port but i don't think there is enough demand for it
Sent from my T8788 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
Sad but true
I really hope it will NEVER happen because we paid a lot of money to have Microsoft OS. I could buy a Galaxy S phone than install Windows Phone on it instead of buying an Omnia 7 paying 70/80 euros more...
I wish there is a working webOS in my sensation. Anyone with me?
I don't see why someone would do that since ICS is coming
Yeah, but we'd like the freedom to choose
I thought the same thing when I heard Web OS was going open source. I guess it could be posible sicne its linux based and no licensing issues, correct me if I'm wrong. The only thing stoping it is the lack of developers that have a Sensation and would want to spend the time porting it. Not likely in my honest opinion.

I'm sure we'll see it pop up for Android phones eventually.
I'd like to see a merging of the two. There's some things that WebOS does better than Android, and vice versa. I think a "WebDroid" project would be nifty.
Its all dependant on how much they choose to "open". If its just the kernel it won't help much.

Since they announced it as Open source I assume it will be everything that's necessary for OEM's to develop this OS on their respective devices.

I don't see a place for an open source WebOS. There's already a linux based open source mobile smartphone OS thats being used by most of the market; Android. It wouldn't make sense to suddenly drop Android for WebOS, or even to just sell them side by side, there's just no need.
I don't see a port happening, possible, but doubtful that anyone will have the time to do it.

WebOS rivals iOS in sheer polish and usability IMO, if it wasn't for the poor hardware and devices that Palm made, I'm sure it would have done a lot better. It would be nice to have dual boot ICS and WebOS on the Sensation
I would like to see webOS run on sensation . if possible we can do it with dual boot between webOS and android that will be super awesome!

And when ICS comes out, which one are you going to boot into the most on?
Droid life and the verge published an article stating that the evo 3d already has a booting web os 3.0, and has for months. Although it is hacked together and still unfinished this suggests that the sensation could get it, given the devices similarities, with some dev willing to do it.

Why did you revive this year old thread you 2?
I could be wrong, but does it have something do with proprietary drivers not being compatible with the linux kernel version that each new major Android version requires?
Now I'm just thinking to get Jelly Bean! I'm not even worried about the next big update from Google!
One thing at the time!
I've already accepted that the G2x won't get KLP

How about this question them: Do major android revisions require a newer kernel version, and if so, is that why the proprietary video drivers get broken after a major release?
The major issue was that with 4.0 ICS, Google fundamentally changed the way that Android operated, so that the operating system and the apps would use hardware-based graphical acceleration. The drivers for this were not available for the G2x because NVidia was trying very hard to stop supporting the old Tegra 2 CPUs, or something, I don't know, there was drama and everybody was blaming everyone else.
Now that we've had updates for the su660 and the p990 with kernel source code and proprietary hardware acceleration drivers for ICS, this should let us keep basic compatibility through most of the future Android versions.
Obviously as it gets more features added it might become too bulky and CPU-intensive for our phones, but that shouldn't be for a while.
The only major breakage I can think of is if a future version of Android requires the NEON instruction set, which the Tegra 2 does not support.
The kernel itself being updated shouldn't be much of an issue.
Ram requirements will be a problem.

Depending on when klp comes out I hope the g2x can run it. This phone had to last me a bit longer till I get rid of debt and save to buy a nexus 4

The culprit is NVIDIA. They have not followed Linux guide lines. Their drivers are tied to specific kernel versions.

Speculation about KLP when we haven't got ICS or even Jellybean or CM10 is self-abuse and surely will lead to total madness.

is it because of limitations of the drivers, or just for ****s and giggles? AMD does the same crap, and considering the Radeon 3650 on my Thinkpad T500 isn't getting regular updates anymore to compensate for updated kernels, I'm stuck with the subpar open source drivers.
And I didn't intend on starting some sort of war....I was just generally curious
Canonical today announced ubuntu native on phones, any hope for porting in our nexus?
http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/phone
It would be very interesting, but since the age of the Nexus i think It will take much before seeing run Ubuntu.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
I disagree, have you seen the minimum specs of Ubuntu? They're in the same ballpark of the NS. But since it will be a mobile version, the minimum requirements will drop. However, i doubt anyone will take the time to port it to our phone, and optimize it properly. That being said, it would run great on the ns, with the right optimizations, which will probably never get done.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app
Have faith. Some developer may have mercy on the NS and port it anyway.
Since we are so lucky to get Android 4.2, will we get another chance to taste this new flavor of Android? Will Cyanogen mod make a release?
And will our EPIC phone be able to keep up with these heavy versions of Android? We (I) need to know.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app
The NS didn't get 4.2 .. the last official OTA was 4.1.2 I believe. So, probably no KLP
But it will sure get unofficial rom of Key Lime Pie.Yeah Cyanogenmod Key Lime Pie we will get:highfive::laugh::good::good:
it will be ported and first of all KLP should be come out !!
offcourse it will get but via CM or ASOP
Sent From Somewhere In The Streets Of INDIA.
It's probably more likely it will get a port of CM rather than official support.
The Nexus devices has a 2 years Google Support. So we got the 4.1.2 for the last OTA.
Luckily we have a nice and huge dev team

Any version built till now,you mean.
What makes you think that with all those quad core and octo core phones with lots of RAM, Google would release a still light version of android?
I mean come on...our 512 mb hardly can handle 4.2.2... And if multitasking your phone gets slow ..you get like 40 mb free at best.
Don't get me wrong. I'd love to see future development for my phone .
But seeing how technology evolves...i have to think that for a next level of android...the hardware requirements will most probably raise a lot...

Exactly. And just because it can "handle it".. Doesn't mean it's practical. Someone got JB running on the HTC Dream.. So technically it can handle it.. But it's completely impractical for anything other than saying "Jellybean runs on the Dream".
It won't be called Key Lime Pie , it will be Knickerbocker glory.

Yes i guess someone will like to use it. But we don't know how it will be in a single core phone wich 512 ram!
If i sai that te ZTE blade runs JB 4.1 but its much worst than 4.2 for us, you will see what I mean ... Let's wait
