It's only a week or so old. The indiegogo has already reached around $7 million out of their $32million goal! Still over 20 days left so let's hope they reach it. If I had the money I would donate for the actual device, have you seen it and its specs?

Quick question, if you put up money for a Ubuntu Edge but they dont raise the amount they need and decide not to go forward, do you get your money back or no?

Not really a Ubuntu or convergence fan. I would personally just purchase a powerful notebook for the price of an Edge, or buy a cheap notebook & turn that into Ubuntu, but to each their own.

the point is not to have to carry two devices with you at all times, in order to have a full mobile OS and desktop OS. This enables you to have a mobile OS when traveling, and a desktop OS when you get home, to work, what-have-you

Maybe it's you who is too dense. I didn't say I have no interest in this!!! I simply explained that this is a convenient product to keep users from carrying two devices. I actually have a crap-ton of interest in this, as a regular ubuntu user. You quoted the wrong post, genius!

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

Since as the article says it requires a "tool" to actually get it on a device I don't see anything being available to us that actually works till at least the end of the year.
I'd be happy with better battery life, but it'll be weird without the playstore. I wonder how or if playstore apps could be ported?
Looks like they'll drop images to flash via fast boot. Should be interesting. Will try it out on my GNex

I think I'm gonna start porting again.

And I won't break any rules this time, I'll make sure to ask permission from the creator to edit his/her content and post it on our device, and this will be the LAST ROM I will be porting, if I do. After that, I'm done porting and I will be upgrading to either the iPhone 5 or the HTC One or S Blaze​
OT: Which should I get?
(A) a Nokia Lumia windows phone
(B) An HTC One/One S
(C) an iPhone 5
(D) a Galaxy S family phone
Post your answers on here or my ROMs, Kernels, and Recoveries thread!

I've thought about getting a Windows Phone. Specifically the Lumia 521. I love the UI and hardware but I think not having apps like Instagram would be hard (its my favorite social network). I have also thought about the LG L9.

The iPhone 5 is nice. Especially the camera. I would get one but I cannot afford it. I would get the iPhone over the One S, better hardware and the new iOS update should be pretty remarkable with Johnny Ive handling it.

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it. So 1 for One S and 2 for iPhone 5. The vote will end by May 15th.

Goodbye SGM Community :(

Hey guys I just wanted to say good bye tp you all cuz I got my new Nexus 4 and gave SGM to my small brother. Just yesterday I got my Nexus 4 and now will be going back to my college with my new phone
I just want to say thank you for the whole SGM community and all its developers and guys who were included in even a little development for our SGM. I learned a lot from this community but now I had to buy new device cuz all others have costly smartphones in my college. As I said I won't buy Samsung device in future I didn't go with galaxy s3. Afaik. I am the only one with a nexus 4 in the whole college cuz everyone for the ****ty Samsung's s4 s3 grand and all that s#it. Whatever it is at last I would like to say good bye to you guys again. I don't think anyone will miss me because I was not on xda from last month. But I will miss you guys and I hope nexus 4 community will be like you guys.
Thanks guys

Pure speculation, all fantasized. Chances are the GS6 won't even have those features. Think real, GS5 is as good as it gets.
If you are waiting on something more special (perhaps?) keep an eye open for:
Oppo find 7
