As most of you might know it is possible to install ubuntu on phones like the nexus one and the X10. But ubuntu isn' t really usefull in the way it is now (I mean that it isn't usefull on phones). So I thought it should be possible to customize ubuntu for phones so it becomes more touchfriendly, faster etc. (like a UI similar to the netbook version of Ubuntu, with lxde as desktop environment and replacing big programs which use a lot of memory for lighter alternatives). Than ubuntu might actually become really usefull for phones.
What do you guys think? And is there anyone who would like to help creating this customized ubuntu-version?

I think that would be awesome! I'm not really a developer but I'm great at beta testing!

Are you asking members to help you in creating this OS?
Or are you asking if someone would create this OS?
Helping to create although I'm new to this I think it is interesting to learn about. It's not like I'm new to ubuntu and stuff, but I'm new to customizing it for phones.

I would love this for the incredible. 10.10 comes out on October the 10th including the ARM version so I don't know if you want to wait for that plus I don't know what kernels support loop devices. Other problems are drivers and the touch input/onscreen keyboard.
Anything to untether us from Google!
What's wrong with just removing GNOME and installng LXDE? Lol it's not really that hard if you know how to use aptitude.
Ok since xrecovery had been released, we can pick up the work again. we need to figure out how we can make it flashable for xrecovery i think

I'm curious about how all this goes down. I've flirted with Linux but never took it seriously until I started rooting. What are some good Books to help understand the filesystem et al?
I would like to know this aswell. ( which is why I'm posting so my phone will have this show up on tapatalk for both my tablet and phone)

Ones on beginning development or just on how the system saves libraries and such will suffice. I have coded in C and C++, so Ill be within my element.

Honestly if you read enough threads you can start to teach yourself the inner workings its VERY similar to other languages .

So I have the tf201, but on tapatalk I can't find the forum. Since these device are kind of similar, I thought I would post here. Is it possible to emulate an old 16 bit windows app on the tablet? We use it in school for respiratory care. The app allows is to listen to lung sounds and answer questions. Can this be done?

If it were a DOS app you could use AnDOSBox, but you might search to see whether there is a port of WINE to Android (you'll still need an installer for Windows).

Has anyone found a solution to opening Snote Files on Pc? I'm not talking about exporting to pdf.
Sent from my GT-N8013 using XDA Premium HD app
It's just a zip file. Extract it and take a look. The default templates are changeable in this way also.

Here is an option...
Samsung ativ win 8 tablet comes with snote. I have often sent my snote files from 8013 to my friend can open them on windows 8.
We just need to get an installer out of it that will work on other win 8 laptops.. and hopefullt win7.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk
I copied the .snb file to my PC, extracted it with 7 Zip, navigated to the snote folder, and opened the snote.xml in Word. It gives me all the text and is very readable. It didn't, however, give me the photos and videos I had embedded in the file, but I imagine (not being a computer geek) that those instructions are contained in the other .xml files, as I have a folder in the archive that also contains those elements.
Yes, it would be great if Samsung could port the S-Note to Windows.

using on win8
I have a new Samsung Ativ T700. It uses an Intel Core i5. In the metro environment there is an SNotes app that is the same as on our tablets. Well, actually, the tablet is better, but you can copy your notes over and then import them into the Win8 version. Works fine.
I'm lost on what your referring to I guess because I don't have a ATIV, but can you clarify what is a metro environment?
Google "Metro UI"
I don't understand how people today STILL don't realize 90% of all questions in the universe have already been answered on Google.
Did I know it was a ui ? Sorry I assumed someone could answer a simple question without being a ****.

Icryan, the problem is that it's not just you. It's pretty much anyone blind or too lazy to use Google.
Nothing to do with being a ****. I'm teaching you and others like you the solution to the rest of your life.
"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."
Try working in retail tech one day, you'll see how many times the same simple question that can be answered by the FIRST link on Google gets asked.
IE: how to MUTE the VOLUME * face palm*
If everyone were like you, every forum would be FILLED with IDENTICAL question threads, and eventually NO ONE knowledgeable will bother answering after repeating the same answer 10 times.
Just Try it, help yourself get some perspective.

I knew what you were talking about (vaguely), but for kicks, I Googled metro, and didn't find anything, results improved after using metro environment, but barely. It might seem obvious to you, but not to someone who isn't sure as to what they are looking for.
Using your analogy, there is a difference between teaching a man how to fish, as opposed to telling him to throw a hook into the water.

Just bumping this in order to keep a discussion going on the availability of a APP capable of opening snb files.
Possible if the pc app in windows app is ported to other devices

If one bothered reading this [read: two page] thread, they would have come across my earlier post linking "metro" to "Windows 8".
It's a clear clue that "windows 8" has SOMETHING to do with "Metro"

Now, upon seeing this, he/she would have had enough terms ["windows 8 metro"] for retrieving a relevant Google search result.
clearly, In this case, simply READING would have been faster than posting a message and waiting for someone to post an answer.
But that's your choice. Kind of like double clicking on internet links, sure it'll work, but it's a waste of everyone's time and effort.
Hi,
I was wondering how good is the ebook reading experience on a tablet.I was wondering if anyone could share their experiences as I have never owned a tablet.Will they eliminate the need to buy hardcopy of books?if I`m gonna use it for reading around 3 hours how will it hold... do eyes strain more ?
Currently Nexus 7 is the table that I`m looking to buy I will mostly be using the tab at home but is the extra cash for the sim version worth it?
I also read a great many issues regarding the Nexus 7 is it a safe tablet to buy how is support of Asus in inida?
Please do share your thoughts..

I have a nexus 7 and have tried to read on it. There is something about it I do not like compared to a book or even a kindle. It's easy to read but seems more distracting. Not too sure why though.
