Ubuntu Phone image availability - Ubuntu Touch Ports to Android

Hey!
We're preparing an image for Ubuntu for Phones and it should be available towards the end of February. You can keep up to date by joining our irc channel #ubuntu-phone on Freenode IRC or by madly pressing F5 on the Ubuntu Wiki page (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuPhone) which is called UbuntuPhone over the next two months
Thanks for the interest!
Edit: Image will be for the Galaxy Nexus, but no doubt you guys will be able to fettle it to work on some other device I'd imagine

Thank you for posting! I'm looking forward to it. I would like to feature this on XDATV ASAP!

Thanks for the encouraging words about the petition! And thanks for keeping us informed!

Awesome! Can't wait to try Ubuntu.

Thanks.
It seems that I have to try it on Nexus, rather then HTC.

Nexus and HTC aren't mutually exclusive brands, but yes Canonical said the initial images will be for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. I'm sure there will be unofficial ports as well.

Bring it on... lol i am supppper excited...

Looks like my purchase of the Galaxy Nexus last Fall was prophetic to say the least. I'm pretty excited to get the image.

[Q] Can we expect an image for Galaxy SII (GT-I9100) too?
I think the HW spec is not very different
I wish you good luck with your project :good:
(subscribed thread)

Officialy we can expect Galaxy Nexus image next month.

Ubuntu Phone
Oh, man. Can't wait for the port to my Desire HD/Inspire. Dual-booting with that would be simply AMAZING!

Just saw the vid of this, seems very interesting. I cant wait to give it a try

Holy crap I can't wait
I'm getting sick on android and I want something new

I hope it will be easily ported from Nexus to Hd2
Imagine having triple boot: Ubuntu phone, Android, windows phone 7

ubuntu rom for samsung galaxy ace please!!!

An unlockable bootloader Intel Atom based phone (Motorola RAZR i) would also be a great project. I noticed in the information it says that Intel Atoms can run the higher-end Ubuntu Phone OS. I am imagining the possibilities here of x86 Ubuntu Phone

IFK if the idea of an x86 phone would be good. It is just an inefficient design compared to Arm IMO.

It works great on this phone. Next time you get a chance check one out. Lenovo K900 looks really good too.

Galaxy s3 port would be awesome as well.

[Q] WP7 on Samsung Galaxy Note?

Hello,
Are there any plans to cook a WP7 rom for the Samsung Galaxy Note? Was playing with a friends the other day and have fallen in love, but not digging android after using WP7 on my HTC HD2 for years now.
Thanks
Not that I know of.
Install the wp7 launcher from play store best of both worlds then.

Ok, thanks. I feel like the best handsets are only hosting Android and the best OS is getting bad handsets. Ill keep my fingers crossed that samsung/microsoft do something together!

i m not knocking android in any way... gingerbread was great and the notes size was what i wanted... used to use a focus... loved that phone..wp7 is a kick ass o/s and even "jailbroken" i couldnt crash it... the downfall was the apps... nobody seems to care to make decent apps other than 750 versions of the flashlight...lol i do miss the live tiles but im really into android now too since it has got much more stable...
im all for pretty much any os as long as it doesnt start with ios..lol baaaaaaa
If only WP7 was Open Source then it could happen.

That's because wp7 doesn't even support dual core CPUs or resolutions higher than 800x480! It just sucks hardware wise.

[Q] [SURVEY] What is your fav Phone!?

So you probably remember my thread asking what your favorite Manufacture Overlay...It is now a poll! so below is a link for you guys just in case you have not seen it yet
http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1785709
So I thought I would make a new thread to kind of go along with the above thread.
In this thread I would like all to post what device the love the most! It could be a cell phone, or a tablet, or a player..along those lines. Please just read a list of rules I came up with for this thread. These rules are more of XDA's basic rules, but I am going to implement them into the thread just so everyone reads them.
RULES
1) Please make good posts regarding the device you call favorite
2) Do not flame the new Junior Members if they make a stupid comment...we will let the Mods deal with them
3) Please be respectful to the Mods
4) Lets try to keep this thread alive!!
5) Have fun with this, I hope its an initiative to not only be a boring old thread but also for people to mingle! lol
6) Thats it​
I don't have a phone. But if I could choose any phone, I would choose SGSIII

I like my Galaxy Nexus. It's a nice size with a big screen, no disturbing hardware buttons on the front and thus a little more customizable than most devices and really beautiful, built for AOSP, and has a great community ... what more could I possibly want at the moment? =D
I would really love to have an SGSIII and a Nexus 7. Love 'em. But instead, stuck with an SGY!

AGREED :victory:
I really like the HTC one X, if I were to get a new phone right now thats the phone that i'd probably choose. I also really like the galaxy s2; but I wouldnt really like to get a new phone thats "old" in regards to the phones that are out now... but the s2 is still a badass phone
Yea i completely agree with you, being that its built for AOSP, it is more customizable and more tweaks can be made from a development perspective

It's actually quite easy. It runs very slow, but boots nonetheless.
The big question here may be "why would you want to install Win OS to your Android device?" I understand it was just mainly a theoretical question, but since Android is a Linux derivative - I could imagine formatting your device and installing it, but as icedventimocha said:

Ubuntu at this rate is a kinda slow but alas its still the beginning of the possibilities.

For development or theming I guess. I can't think of any other reason but linux is a lot better for that and not as heavy so it's faster.

If you go to ubuntus website they are actually working on integrating it into android phones, so when in dock mode your phone becomes a PC.

Freaking awesome. I liked the dna when I looked at it, but no removable battery and no sdcard was the deal breaker. And after all the update delays and just the overall poor life of the thunderbolt made me go with a non HTC device. They lost me as a customer for sure. But the spen and multi Window are just sick.

If connecting to the pc is your problem, it is almost certainly an issue of drivers on the windows side.

Here is a benchmark 1GHz Cortex A8 vs A9 vs Atom:

Cortex A9 is...better of course, but I think our Black will be "just" capable to run Ubuntu Phone OS.
well Canonical said that if our device run Android , it will run Ubuntu without a problem :good:

Come on... How anyone could possible know that? And then, it will be the same with CM. It is needed to make a ROM compatible with our P970.
I just came here to post a thread about Ubuntu Phone in our OB and there's one already :silly:
Crazy to see that in my phone :victory:
edit
btw, do we have any badass developers from OB family interested on porting Ubuntu Phone for us? Cuz I'm pretty sure won't be any official release of it
the image for Nexus Phones will be avaible here tomorrow https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch?action=show&redirect=UbuntuPhone
