I was wondering if anyone has looked into the possibility of putting the Ubuntu operating system on this phone. I am following that project closely to see if it will be a hit or not.

I was wondering, If we use Paranoid Android Rom in Tablet Mode with lower DPI, Chameleon Launcher should work. Am I right?
Somebody want to test?

No, it still says our device is incompatible
You would need to have a edited build prop so that the market thinks your using a tablet not a phone

There is a phone version incoming, I'm a beta tester for them. Sit tight.

Pretty much exactly like the tablet version except scaled down. And it shouldnt be a long wait now, its pretty well done and polished IMO.

Has anyone else seen the new official Ubuntu for phones that's coming out? It looks rather nice. I can't wait to be able to try it.

Looks great but I wouldn't count on running that on a thunderbolt....ever.
They've tried this before with Ubuntu for Android. It never got off the ground. They intended on dual booting Ubuntu on dual core gingerbread class phones but it never happened. There was supposed to be a dock that your phone went into and booted Linux on a monitor so it was like having a phone and computer at the same time. I like the idea of having full Linux support though. It will be interesting to see if calling through Ubuntu will be supported.

Same here. It almost looked to me like they intend on marketing phones with just this os on it. I really like Linux so I hope they do it. Hopefully since its Linux other distros will be created. It would awesome to have Linux mint like that.

I've never used mint before its always been xubuntu for me. For some reason though i can't get Wi-Fi to work on my laptop. I looked at mint last night, I'll probably get my brother to install it today.
Sent from my ThunderBolt using xda premium
Mint is so much better IMO. It has some features that aren't available with a stock Ubuntu installation plus it looks great. You can install it right on top of Ubuntu.

My brother installed it. I haven't had time to mess with it yet though. OK spent like an hour trying to root someone's tablet. Which would've been easier had it not been a Chinese tablet.

Its not the standard Ubuntu but an actual mobile OS. The gnex version should get released once the CES gets going as they will demonstrate it there.

Its a mobile version of Ubuntu. Probably won't be anything like the desktop version but since it's Linux other distros can be made for it.

I think it would be excellent to have this on our thunderbolt. It can definitely breathe new life into the phone since development is slowly declining for this. But it's single core so I doubt it will ever be.

Im myself are not sure why they are doing this. The ubuntu edge doesnt really seem practical. I mean, who needs two lte antennas in their phone?

It's an interesting experiment, but honestly I don't know if it's gonna meet success. I mean, what if people buy it just for the 4 GB of RAM and then run Android?

I believe the two antennas were for use on a carrier of your choice, since it comes without contract (even international).
Impractical probably for most. Ever since I got an android device (an archos) many years back I kinda wanted to be able to have a functional desktop experience. Having a note ii now I can basically already do that, whether im using a tablet multiwindow mod or the linuxonandroid app. That being said, there seems to be enough who want that kind of functionality. Would be even cooler to see somethin like that with a keyboard dock. Old idea that was tried on other phones.
I'd go as far as to say this is nothing like what's been done before.
I love it, would definitely buy it if it was coming out sooner, but I need a new phone now, not in 2014.
Never figured the price to be all that steep either, you 'muricans have gotten too used to carrier-subsidized stuff
Here in Norway an $800 price tag is normal for such a badass...

You don't reqd much do you? It dual boots Ubuntu and android plus when you hook it up to your minister it turns into a full instillation.

It's an Ubuntu touch phone that has the option to boot into android, with an android app compatibility layer for Ubuntu coming soon so you can still use your favorite apps when using u-touch. It also has a desktop mode where you can hook it up to a monitor and enjoy the full desktop version of Ubuntu.
The desktop mode is the reason for the specs, so it's literally a computer in your pocket. Thanks to so many ARM distributions out there, almost every single piece of software in the main Ubuntu repositories has been ported to ARM. Overall, for $800 you get an Android phone, and a desktop computer that fits in your pocket.

Soo true. Thays really what drew me. Im mean it really sounds like a high quality device and it wouod have to be to meet for both a high end android device and a very functional desktop computer. I can even imagine it being more, having the ability to be a laptop too.
I just read only people who support the development donation 775 will get the phone its not being publicly sold or distributed also the 2 antenna deal is one lte antenna is for the US the other is for functionality in EU if y'all want I'll link the article from indegogo which is the current most updated article.
Edit: ok I apologize and correct my last statement it's not on indegogo site that's the place this article refers to if you want to donate and back this project to get one... Here's the article

Whether or not you like Ubuntu, you should hope that this 'experiment' exceed, doing so would surely drive something positive towards the mobile phone scene.
But will it get the newest android versions when they release like the nexus devices, or will it just update android in the same way as, say Sony does? That's probably the qyestion holding me back a little.

It is based on CM so it will be fast with aNDROID-Updates!
this phone wouldn't be commercially successful
At the beginning I thought the campaign is gonna be a huge success.. but looking at it now.. seems like a far cry from being successful. But would be cool to see a device that can dual boot android & ubuntu though:fingers-crossed:..
What do I think? Neat idea, not so great on the execution. The Android world is full of great-but-not-quite-there ideas, and this is a good one -- unfortunately the timing just isn't right.
Dual-booting is just way beyond the scope of what the average person needs or wants right now, in my opinion. Could it be useful? Definitely, if implemented and executed correctly. Maybe this is one of those product categories people don't know they want until they have it?

A lot of things should be and probably will be better than the RAZR HD with the X. But after all your current isn't that bad though other brand owners will tell u it's rubbish Not going to get the option in the UK
Sent from my XT925 using xda premium
I don't think I would trade my MAXX HD in right now, but I can tell you I hope some of the devs are able to port the firmware over. While I doubt I would use touchless controls, the new notification system is something I can see myself using a lot.
i guess two questions pop into my head...why would you want to, and why should they?
If you complain enough you *might* be able to get a alternate device swap for it but it would be rough. If you have an unlocked bootloader on your HD you are giving that up as the Moto X on Verizon does not have an unlocked bootloader. The dev version will though.
I guess the way I look at it is the Razr HD will eventually get 4.2.2 or 4.3 and if I cant wait i will just enjoy CyanogenMod until they do. Now if you have a regular Razr HD and not the MAXX and you have a locked bootloader or dont care about locked bootloaders then go for the X. Just complain enough and they will probably let you switch. I would wait a month though after its released to try as you dont get a new X or any new device as you only get refurbs. Have to give time for refurbs to show up in order for them to think about switching you.
I complained alot and they kept asking me to send my phone for repair. After three sends, I gave up, unlocked the bootloader and installed a custom rom. No more over heating issues now.
