Hello and welcome.
Yes there is an Ubuntu touch port in the works but the development is suspended. Since the final official build got released on the 17th, you could expect it for Nexus S in the following weeks. And no, it replaces Android. No idea about performance.

andrei, Thanks for the reply. I will keep an eye out for it in the coming weeks.

[Q] Question in regards to Nokia C7-00.1

Ok guys a friend of mine has a Nokia C7-00.1 with the Symbian OS. I was wondering if it was possible to root this phone and put a version of Android on it? Ive been searching everywhere and have found nothing.
One more question. I have supposedly put the legit version of Gingerbread 2.3.3 on my htc G2 that i found on this site and i was just wondering if its any different than the version that was recently updated my tmobile and if i should uninstall the version i currently have that I acquired and in turn allow tmobile to update the phone itself...
The first question is more important because symbian is wack and his phones specs seems like it could easily run android. Please lmk what the deal is DEVS
Thank You,

[Q] HTC sensation software update

Hi,
I have an HTC sensation software number 1.50.415.1 (living in Lebanon) and I am trying to search for an update to Android 4 all the time but getting the same answer always: No update / new OS version for your device.
As I heart, the Android 4 can be installed on this device since more than 6, 7 months. Can anyone tell why I can not find an update for this device? Isn't there an update or is there any way to upgrade to Android 4 (without jailbreaking sure)?
How to check whether the installed OS is official or not? (since after contacting HTC support team, they said this software is not official while I am sure it is. Anyway nothing to say about HTC support team that are very careless and non-professional).
Thank you for your help in advance,
Fadi

Should I re-post there or I the replies will be here?
If I should re-post there so how should I move this thread?
Thanks.

[Q] Noob with a Nexus S

Hi everyone,
I'm new to this forum but have been around the block a few times when it comes to software development, albeit not at a hardware level. I've got a couple old Android phones that I'm looking to root and play around with, but I'm having some trouble with the vernacular. The first device I'm trying is the newest of the old lot, a Nexus S (crespo).
I'm trying to install the "Guru" kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexu...-guru-t2783561), but can't see how <4MB would be a complete system image. Does this kernel just reflect a patch that should be applied to the CM ROM, and if so, which one? I've rooted the phone using SuperOneClick but don't know where to go from here.
Thanks for helping this noob out, guys and gals. Cheers from Australia!

Can I upgrade Alcatel Hero 2 to Lollipop?

I'm a complete newbie in the Android world (iPhone user), so I'm so sorry in advance if I'm asking a stupid question. So today I bought an Alcatel Hero 2 from Amazon. The device hasn't arrived yet. The device has Android Kitkat on it and from some youtube review videos I knew that the customized Android version installed on the device is chubby so I thought if I can upgrade to vanilla Lollipop then the performance will improve.
There is very little information on the web about the Hero 2. I only found a webpage (can't post a link here because I'm new but google for "upgrade alcatel hero 2 lollipop" and you'll find it) that says one can upgrade to Lollipop, but it seems to be SCAM. Thus I thought it's better to ask here to get trusted answers since I don't want to get into security problems.
I know what ROMs are and have a little background but I don't know where to get trusted ROMs or if it's possible at all to upgrade my phone. I appreciate any answers.
Many thanks in advance!
Probably not, unless Alcatel comes out with its own Lollipop update or more threads appear here for Hero 2 ROMs.
The Hero 2 isn't very popular, or at least well-known, in the US. I'm surprised you even found it for purchase. Was it on the US Amazon site or a foreign version? Got a link? I was interested in a Hero 2, too, but I could never find it, and now it's getting a little long in the tooth.
Sorry this isn't the answer you wanted. Is it an all right phone overall, though? Reviews were generally favorable.
I don't think there is Lollipop rom for your device.
Hi guys,
any news about lollipop update? Im choosing between Hero 2 and LG G3, but Hero 2 is cheaper for me and it has little bit bigger screen. Any advices please?

Please, if it is not too much trouble, you can update the link

My Hero 8 D820X is bricked (tried to factory reset and sth gone wrong) system crushed, i need to flash anything but can find nothing.
Hero 2 has same CPU, so hopefully it would work

This is weird, I looked all over and cannot find any links for original flashing files, not even 4PDA.
But, the rom I ported has no sound (unless you wear headphones), and camera is not working. This was basically just an experiment on trying to port it for first time, but sadly I do not have the device anymore so I won't be able to help much. If you still want to try it, here's the link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/rooting-roms/resurrection-remix-5-8-5-alcatel-t3913051
Meanwhile I'll try to keep looking for the original stock ROM for your device, there has to be something.
I'll let you know if I find anything.
