Since Android is now in other devices (other than phone and tablets) such as smart watches and game consoles. I could Android everywhere from ATMs to PoS, Cars, even billboards.
In other words, it will be everywhere.

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

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.

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...

Definitely will try it.
Well hopefully the tegra 2 wont give Ubuntu issues

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.

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.

Google Now available on iOS.

So either Google thinks that Apple isn't serious competition enough to hand them over one of their key features, or they're doing anything they can to expand their foothold on the mobile phone market... Which includes handing over one of your key features to the competition.
What's Google's motive?
The future is Google bro

If they continue to give out key features to the competition, there's no need for Android devices. Might as well build a Google laced iOS device. iDroid.

Galaxy S4 Active Wallpaper Thread

I wanted to create a wallpaper thread here for all of us Active users so we could share our wallpapers . I like to collect wallpapers and I also like finding new ones. The way I see it is you can never have enough. Post any wallpaper that you may want to share with the community. It doesn't matter what kind of wallpaper you post just as long as it is clean and does not offend anyone. I will post more within the thread as I find new ones. Here are a few to get us started.
Personally I think that the Firefly ROM from the old Samsung Captivate had some of the best, well polished wallpapers out there. The entire ROM just looked amazing and was very well put together, better than most manufacturers put out these days. Sadly it was the only ROM that @xtremekilla09 put out. Even though it was based on Android 2.2 I have always hoped that somebody would update it and port it to other phones, at least the theme if nothing else.
Anyways, I've taken all the wallpapers out of the ROM and uploaded them to a zip if anybody else wants them, like I said they're pretty amazing.

Wallpapers
A few that I have found.
I'm into live wallpaper currently I'm using Shape Swap LWP. Very customizable I also use it on my Optimus G Pro. I believe its free.

Another one of my favorites is 3d Image Live wallpaper. Gives any 2d image a 3d effect. It's a paid app costs a dollar something I forget. Worth it though.

I have bought around 15 to 20 live wallpapers over the years. I like them as long as the dont make my phone laggy. Right now the one I've been hooked on is Next Nexus Live Wallpaper Pro on my Active. On my Nexus 7 Gyrospace 3D looks pretty cool.

[Q] Which OS?

Dear XDA,
In these options, which one is your favourite?
A) iOS
B) Android
C) WIndows Phone 8
D) Tizen OS
Here are the options!
why
i would choose android
because it is permanently growing better
and because it is opensource (atleast the most part of it)
This isn't the section to ask questions
