There's at least three threads that reference this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2161216 is probably the most relevant.
Short answer - no.

Ok so what I gather then is that someone just needs to build it off of cm10.1? What about 10.2 or 10.3?

10.3 doesn't exist yet, and I don't really know much about Ubuntu Touch, other than the vague statements I made in that other thread.
I thought it was just a bunch of PNG's, really just stubs... Perhaps it's different now? I haven't looked into it personally.

I've been checking out some of the DIY cm Rom tutorials on youtube. I might try and see if I can get it to work. I did at one time manage to get the actual Ubuntu 12.4 img to run on the Q and was able to still use the phone with it and data. Can we just pair down the img to run faster and smoother?

i get it booted but on the lockscreen i cant get to home.
i flashed this 2 zips

[TUT] Ubuntu on Evo 4g

First you have to flash this zimage
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=357141&d=1278649181
Do this by rebooting your phone into fastboot
adb reboot-bootloader
then,
fastboot flash zimage zImage
then reboot and follow the instructions on this tutorial and it will work like a charm
http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-hacks/how-to-install-ubuntu-on-htc-evo-4g/
Thank vinny75 for compiling the zimage that makes this work for the evo
and thank the guy who wrote the tutorial for everything else..
thank me for nothing because i didnt do anything lol
EDIT: EVERYBODY JUST FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS ON THIS LINK
http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-hacks/how-to-install-ubuntu-on-htc-evo-4g/
Please, wrong section... I am begging you. The Q&A section is two clicks away.
Ubuntu hasn't been ported to the Evo. It is a highly involved process. You can't expect a ROM for the Nexus One to work on the Evo right? There are drivers to port, kernel modifications to be made. Lots of stuff have to happen first.
The website you pointed to mentions that he is working on a port anyhow. Wait for that to come out.

I'm going to leave this here, because mistakes shouldn't be hidden under a rug, but acknowledged and learned from. I am following this thread, and I may give it a try when I am done with my Physics studies this weekend.

There is the Linux for android app in the market but it will only work with a loop file system which our kernels don't have or a specially partitioned SD card.

if loop file system is required and loop support isnt compiled into the stock kernel, i haven't checked this, but with the HTC source coded release last week, shouldn't be an issue to compile your own kernel adding in loop support or having a ROM/kernel dev add in loop support.
edit: if i remember right, its a simple option to check under file system in the make kernel config.

Why is it you repeatedly insist on trolling this "wrong section" bull**** on almost all the threads? It's not your job.
Toast will take care of it. bobdude5 isn't a new member and yet you treat him as such? His question obviously belongs in this section and even when you call him out on it... a Mod has already authorized him to post in section? I bet you feel dumb.
It seems to me, you have no idea where most questions belong, it's probably best you keep your mouth shut and let Toast worry about those who are posting in the wrong section -- it's not even that hard for a Mod to move certain questions to a different section.
Add your input, just don't be a troll.

Ok back on topic please.
Also I wanna add its most likely the kernel also. I can compile one for testing tonight if someone doesn't wanna help out and do it first. I think we also need to setup the evo on decordes Linux for HTC devices wiki. I'm at work so searching and linking isn't possible atm. I know he has a section for us there already. We can also gain from the wikis for similar devices there. Anyhow yeah let's not clutter thus thread with trash and let the development begin.
For anyone wanting to see Ubuntu running on the Nexus One and tutorial on how to do it... here's the video.

Now, obviously the directions are for the NEXUS ONE... and most likely won't work for the EVO, however this is good starting point to see what steps can be taken from the video and tweaked to make it work with our EVO's.
Good luck.
I am actually working on this
The problem with it is that the Evo 4G kernel needs to be compiled with support for loop devices. All Nexus One ROMs actually support this but Evo 4G doesn't.
The best way would be to ask those guys making the ROMs to compile the support for loop devices for future versions such as OMJ Roms.
Then could just use the same Nexus One script and would work.
In the meanwhile, I am learning to compile the kernel myself but perhaps you guys can ask the others to include support for loop devices on other ROMs.
Just need to enable CONFIG_DEV_BLK_LOOP=y in the kernel config and rebuild.
Seems to be working now, installing LXDE as I type this.
extract the attached zImage then boot into fastboot and "fastboot boot zImage" to test.
EDIT: VNC works.
Why not something more lightweight than ubuntu?
Ubuntu netbook remix might be nice.....

[DEV] PSFreedom Port

As some of you probably know, the ps3 has recently been hacked, allowing us to run unsigned code. The source code for the exploit leaked and a dev called KaKaRoTo managed to get it to run from a Nokia N900. The other day, KaKaRoTo released his source code and someone already ported it to the Palm Pre. This quick port was possible because the N900 and Palm Pre both share the same USB controller(mUSB) which happens to be the controller used by the Droid/Milestone.
This has already been posted in the droid section, but I figured I would post this in here. Maybe some of you guys can get this working on our milestones!
thanks nicholasbgr for writing this up.
This doesn't look too hard to do either. We shouldn't need to do too many alterations to get it working on the milestone.
Here is what we apparently need to do to port it from the nokia.
Well, first, you need to figure out what controller your device uses, in the case of the N900, it’s ‘musb’.. (Luckily we have he same controller!)
Then go to the driver code for that controller (probably in drivers/usb/gadget) and look for ‘SET_ADDRESS’. In the case of musb, it was in drivers/usb/musb/musb_gadget_ep0.c. In there it was setting the address to the USB device, so just copy that code into the psfreedom_machine.c to allow setting the address, and add a similar function to be able to retreive the address.
Then add a function to return 0 or 1 depending on whether the controller supports HIGH, FULL or LOW speed mode (go to usb_gadget_register_driver for your controller, and in the first lines, it should validate the speed argument, it will tell you which ones are acceptable), set LOW speed mode to return TRUE only if FULL speed isn’t available .
Finally, add a function to return the endpoint names.. it will usually be something like ‘epXin’ and ‘epXout’ (where X is the endpoint number), or “epXin-bulk”, etc.. look at how the driver initializes its endpoints or grep for “->name” in the file to find where it sets it…
That should be enough!

No devs with a PS3 here?
Just saw this, and I'm actually pretty interested in this, but what I know about programming can't really help you. Really interested in this though, so I will be following this
I have to ask though, is it not possible to have a universal Android implementation? What are the technical reasons?

No, we won't be seeing a univeral version, as phones have different types of usb controllers (we have mUSB, the same kind used in the pre and n900, giving us the best chance of a quick and easy port) Most HTC phones have a MSM72K controller, and the guys in the desire forum are pretty close to getting it running.

MrPadie said:
Sorry if I appear a little "uninformed" (), but I just wanted to check something here quick. If we port this hack correctly, does this enable us to run an unsigned bootloader, essentially relieving the minds of millions of Milestone users?
If so, I'm going to take a spin at porting it over - however, I'm sure someone will get it before I do, no doubt.

according to zzg in the desire forum, this is what you need to do. no source changes.
Well you don't really need any changes to get it compiled against Droid's kernel, a quick and dirty way by looking at psfreedom's make file:
make -C /path/to/droid/kernel/source M=/path/to/psfreedom/source ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/path/to/android_ndk/tree/build/prebuilt/linux-x86/arm-eabi-4.4.0/bin/arm-eabi- EXTRA_CFLAGS=-DENABLE_MUSB_CONTROLLER modules

just substitute the droid kernel source for the milestones. You can get it from motorola.
Current Compatibility List
Current Compatibility List
http://psfreedom.com/wiki/index.php?title=Device_compatibility_list
Quick question though, looking at something like this: http://psfreedom.com/wiki/index.php?title=OpenDesire4.0.4
To enable:
reboot to recovery
flash enable psFreedom
reboot back to Open Desire
It seems we would have to flash a different kernel to get this to work via the recovery screen. However I thought due to the locked bootloader on the milestone even after porting it the phone wont boot because of that.
Is the locked bootloader preventing us from booting into Android? or is it booting all together?

i think the desire is totally different than the milestone because it uses other drivers. with the n900 there wasnt any flashing involved. the milestone uses the same drivers as the n900 so lets hope we can use this

[DISCUSSION/INFO]CM7 on Captivate - The real information thread.

Now, you may have seen the other CM7 thread, and those who saw it know it was a cluster*MOD EDIT*. I'm just going to clear up some of the misinformation about the port.
1. I am currently running CM7 on my phone.
2. It is not a dual boot, unlike supercurio's NSONSGS work, it is an actual rom.
3. It is only being developed for the i9000, but with a few reorientations, it's usable as captivate rom.
4. There are no official releases for either phone, you must build from source. Instructions are on the CM forums.
Any other questions, I'm happy to answer. I just don't like when misinformation is wrongly spread.
Sorry about that. Heh heh. I apologize for that thread.
So couple questions.
1 If it's a full ROM did you have to convert NAND to EXT4 as well? My understanding was the WHOLE file system on NS was EXT4.
2 If you did have to convert it, have you tried going back to any other "regular" ROM's?
Thanks for the information/clarification. Honestly though, I think it's unfair to single out DG, he's helped alot of people here. If he is wrong he's wrong but no need to hate.

misinformation? They are using supercurios kernel work to boot it. (i said KERNEL not initram, where the dual boot comes from)
If there is any further work being done by codeworkx and others, its in private., but I can tell you there is NO chatter in the dev channel, hasn't been in some time.
Can't we just get over everything and stop with the petty insults... This thread is going downhill already, lets try and keep it clean.

1. Nope, everything is mounted as yaffs2. When you flash the "initial" zip, it creates all the partitions.
2. You can, but you must either use "repartition" in Odin, or use the one click to stock.
And I know, I was just joking about. I can certainly edit that out if it offends him.

Because when stuff doesn't work, people ***** at them and they have to fix it, taking time away from deving. That, on top of the captivate not even being an officially supported device.

They probably will get mad. Honestly, even though its open, there are still moral issues. Its basically taking someones hard work and passing it off as your own, because you know that people will credit the one who built it and made it freely available.

[Q] How do i flash Ubuntu using Windows?

Ok, been reading alot about using Ubuntu on the Transformer but i cant find anywhere showing me how to flash using Windows, really hope someone can guide me!
just go to www.ubuntu.com download ubuntu and install it as a regular problem
easy as 1 2 3
I'm pretty sure do what he said, but just run it as a livecd that way you don't have to waste time or run into problems of installing. If you have a spare USB this is probably better: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/put-ubuntu-10-04-on-flash-drive-using-windows/
Have fun!
You guys clearly don't get what he's asking. He wants to flash Ubuntu on his Transformer.
@OP: At the moment, it can't really be done. There is a thread in the development section you can follow, but as of now I think they are still working on it. It will happen sooner or later. I may be wrong, but I've been watching it myself as I'd love to have an Android/Linux Mint dual-boot tablet.
Correct me if I'm missing what you're asking about.
Thanks @SilverZero, that's what i meant, thank you, they're releasing silent updates, and as for as a can read, its flashable using the NVidiaFlasher, but i'm not 100% sure, it looks like to me they've modded it so it fully working on the Transformer.
Do i need root access for NvidiaRoot thing? =)
And thanks anyway to @nonione and @andrewklau =D
Is there any detailed guide of how to flash Ubuntu on the TF? Just found the 'official' Ubuntu-thread in dev-section, but there is actually no guide, just a video of running Ubuntu on the TF...
I don't care if I have to use Windows or Ubuntu on my pc (I'm runing both as dualboot on my notebook), so it should be no problem?

Thanks, but I've already found that thread before, but it seems that I scrolled over the instructions so I didn't see them...
This is the best guide I saw so far. IMHO

A bit of work if you want to use wireles, which is needed if you want to install any software. It is a pain to manually compile things for Tegra.
I got mine dual booting to Prime ROM 1.8.4 and Ubuntu. I'll make a video later once I have more free time.

How's performance? And could you give a quick summary of what you went through to get things running?
Last time I looked at the dual boot thread it seemed abandoned >_>

I try to follow this guide, but i can't download the flash kit on this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16097869&postcount=2
The download link is broken, can I get this kit in other place?
I saw a tutorial on eeepadhacks.net, which actually didn't worked for me but many people said it's great, so you should check that out.

From my understanding, you have to swap out the patches and it's specific to your device and ROM. I took a look at one of the patcher tools, but it was just a bunch of confusion to me until I can actually sit down and take a look without having to rush. Think you could take a look as well? Greatly appreciated :victory:

Well, let me know if you figure anything out when you get everything up and running. I'm definitely going to be sitting down tonight and looking into it, I'll report back if I find anything!
I just found this quote in the post; "For all who keep on asking your answers can be found in this thread just search. To use the patch you need your rom's source code then run the patch command on linux and patch your source add the resources and compile. There is no flash zip morphs or anything flash able because AOSP roms are not the same it will be hard to make a flash able zip for all and this is the development section if you don't know what to do then search, read and read some more instead of these consider requests that wouldn't happen. You have to do see stuff yourself something" ... so my question now is, where is the source code for LS RC5(seeing that you run it as well).

Hopefully i can get one setup this weekend, gotta convince my dad to let me setup everything on one of his desktop computers. I'd rather mess around with it using Ubuntu and not windows, but that's just personal preference

LS RC5 is based off of CM10, so it would be the cyanogen mod 10 source code, which is android 4.1.2 source
