Full OS or just Shell? - Ubuntu Touch Ports to Android

Pardon me,
Noobs hereBut i seem confused with Canonical statement, does Ubuntu Phone OS full fledged OS? or it's just running as shell (like Flyme OS or Miui?
Since canonical said that Ubuntu Phone OS will be available for all (almost) Android phone when it released, do they just release the source code and instruction for porting? or they will release an improved and completed version of Ubuntu for Android seen here:
http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/android

It's a full-fledged os. Not a launcher or modified android rom.

there are two versions of ubuntu
one: ubuntu on adroid
this run ubuntu Desktop UI from android and run with android at the same time....
so it can posibly run on any android device that have enough CPU power and RAM
and maybe it need special modified android to run propertly
if that will be released for some devices .... devs will port it to other android devices
PS. to run ubuntu desktop from android you need to connect device to TV or monitor and to keyboard and mouse, so devices that can't connect to TV will be not supported
destkop apps usulally need much more space than android apps
and second
Ubunto for phones
thats complitly new OS that posibly run android on kernel(i'm not sure so correct mi if a'm wrong)
and it can problably run on any device that runs android (if that device have enough CPU power, RAM and strorage)
sorry for my poor english ... I hope you can understand this

It doesn't even matter what kernel Ubuntu Phone is based on because they're gonna release the source by the end of this month so we can port it to whatever we want (theoratically).

Yes we will be able to install ubuntu phone os in all android devices. Ububtu is build on the same linux kernel which android uses. So all drivers are available for android devices. How ever it won't be a single image like like ubuntu for pc. There will be separate images for different devices.

if i am correct, now windows supports ARM architecture too...!!!
Well, I suppose he's referring to windows phone that does support arm and not windows 8 that will support arm but it's not available yet. .
In principle is possible but likely difficult to do since it requires a lot of work and reverse engineering from developers because windows phone is not open source software no access to the code (as far as I know).

I think the source code for Android on Intel would be much more helpful, though i can't say how much it differs from the original android source ( https://android.googlesource.com/device/generic/x86/ ) repository, since i couldn't get it to check out & build properly:

If MIUI can do It..why can't we ?

If MIUI can let the users load a Windows Phone OS on their device, since it is a forked Android OS..why can't we do it too on our Xperias and HTCs...can't we learn something from it? I am still dying to load it on my Lenovo K900 ...

MIUI is way different than roms of HTC and Sony devices..so, doing this on other phones is not possible

Android Studio for Android OS

Why doesn't Android studio run on Android? I think Google should support Android OS because tablets can be used for Android development. Is there any way to run Android Studio on Android OS?

Technically there is: running a chrooted Linux environment (most likely Ubuntu) on the tablet and accessing it trough VNC. That will sound a little difficult to handle (maybe use a mouse and a keyboard?), but that's the only way possibile as now.
Ciuffy's SM-G900F CM 12.1 spirit hath marked this way.

You can't run Android Studio on Android, but you can use an app called AIDE. You can build complete, functioning Android apps with it. Support is iffy, but it's worth the ten bucks to be able to develop anywhere.

I need a tutorial
I wonder how many people need this feature indeed?

Android requires a compatible bootloader like LK (which has to be programmed from scratch and the kernel, device configurations and proprietary blobs (which be ported from another device)

Yes - someone would have to do lots of work, especially on drivers. Never said it was easy but it has already been done for mac's with hackintosh, so it's not impossible.
Windows Phone Internals 2.3 is released, now it is possible to install any custom rom on any lumia phone so very soon android roms will be available. Good luck.
