[REQUEST] Port For Nexus 5 - Ubuntu Touch Ports to Android

Is it possible for a ubuntu touch port to nexus 5? If, so why hasnt it been done yet? Id really like if someone could do this port.

Someone from canonical said they are working on updating all of the android parts to 4.4.2 so it would be compatible with the n5.

Someone actually started their own port of UT for the N5. Check out his thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2594874
I'm eagerly awaiting to see what he can accomplish. I'm also hoping for an official 1.0 or something more from Canonical during CES or soon before or after. If y'all watch XDA Developers TV on YT Jordan will surely report when an N5 port is released/working to some extent.

Nexus 4 getting 4.2.2

Couple articles are reporting that the N4 is getting an update and now being shipped with 4.2.2. Still no change log reported. Anyone have the details on when and what we will get in 4.2.2 on the nexus 7?

Since the Nexus 7 is a Nexus device, if there is indeed a 4.2.2, we will be getting it very soon.

I just bought and returned the Nyko Playpad because it couldn't connect to the Nexus 7. I searched online and it was a known issue since last year. I read in a Nyko tweet that it was due to the JellyBean update and Google is well aware of it, so yeah there could be something to this, since this Nvidia Tegra contoller has been needing a fix since the last update of it's Nyko Playground app last October.
I know while surfing Google currents Engadget and I think android police had the articles.

Supposedly JDP66 is the N10 4.2.2 build that's coming, popping on benchmark sites, prob will be what N7 gets since 4.2.1 on all my devices is JOP40D

Does this mean they'll be fixing the Bluetooth stuttering?
If there's one single thing they needed to address, it was the broke-ass bluetooth.

That build number is fake. Unless it is a typo...because build numbers have always been 3 letters, 2 numbers, 1 letter: IMM76L, JRO03C, JOP40D, etc.
EDIT: or possibly a placeholder.

Yes, you can expect a letter after the 66.. whether it is fake remains to be seen. Just passing on what information I have seen about it so far over in the N10 forum.

I have been seeing these UA's popping up quite a bit over the last few days, especially at the bench marking sites.
Looks like Android 4.2.2 build JDP66 is out there & likely will be hitting Nexus 10 devices shortly as it is already rolling out to a few Nexus 4 users.

I'm praying its legit. Google is slacking with its jellybean update. 4.2.1 is dodgy. Bluetooth fixes and Lil performce tweaks would seal it. (Y)

Let's hope so. Bluetooth issues on a tablet are a problem, but on a phone they'd be a deal killer.
To be honest, they need to fix more than just the bluetooth issue...
Lettuce pray that there's more than 1 fix added...

My 15 mos. old rooted HTC DI2 running ICS have no issues with Bluetooth, including Skype (soon to replace MSN Messenger, arrrrhhhh) and Google Voice or GrooVe IP when calling, crystal clear. N7 running 4.1.2 on rooted stock rom & kernel is fine, Bluetooth is fine but "playing" now with 4.2.1 - BT is a P I T A - no matter how I try to tweak it, whether I'm using the Jabra or 1 of the 2 Moto headset.
Benchmark-wise, not that I am chasing for a high Quadrant score as the CPU/device is plentiful fast for my purposes without OC/UV - 4.1.2 has clearly the upper hand, whether it's stock rom & kernel or custom rom/factory kernl or stock rom/custom kernel.
Fortunately, Stickmount is working on 4.1.2 with my choice of roms at the moment, MoDaCo's Jr13 with franco - and, it's a "messy" one with the sdcard directory layout for the recovery whereas with 4.1.2 - everything on it is easily accessible for backup & restoring with CWM.
Just my 2 cents, as a disclaimer - YMMV - of course.
Some rumours here about the Nexus 4 shipping with 4.2.2 http://crave.cnet.co.uk/mobiles/google-nexus-4-spotted-running-android-4-2-2-jelly-bean-50010145/ So hopefully its not that far off for the N7.

Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie NOT Appearing on Google I/O

Just recently, all the tech sites are saying, Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie will not be released at Google I/O in May, but instead just Android 4.3;
http://www.aegindia.org/2013/04/android-key-lime-pie-not-appearing-on-google-io/2122449.html
According reliable information, the release of Android Key Lime Pie is postponed by another two to four months. The delay will give sometime for the manufacturers to provide Android 4.2.2 update for their devices.
A lot of sites, saying behind the scenes that Samsung will be very upset with Google to see Android 5.0 released, just a month after they just brought out their flagship new phone the Galaxy S4, running Android 4.2. Samsung does not want to be trumped just a few weeks later, making their brand new S4 outdated with 4.2, if 5.0 comes out shortly afterwards.
And rumors saying Google would rather release Android 5.0 on a brand new Nexus phone at the same time. So going to the typical Fall release, we will see a Nexus-Five phone running Android 5.0, competing at the same time, directly against the iPhone 5S.
Now who will be the manufacture of the Nexus-Five ? Most point to LG again, or possibly Sony this time. But "5" will be the magic number; Android 5.0, Nexus 5, and 5" screen.

Curious what 4.3 will add to Jellybean ? Just minor tweaks and bug fixes ?
Will "Babel" be the main new feature ? Which I think is combining all Google Messaging to one main app ? Maybe Project Battery, giving even better battery life on stock Android ?
This is upsetting lol .. Also I will be pissed if a new nexus comes out already

Totally agree. I could not see an all new version Android 5.0 still being released on the current Nexus 4. I would think Google would want to release a brand new fully new version, on a brand new phone at the same time.
I expect Android 4.3 next month, released on the Nexus 4, and the only new "Nexus" device coming out at Google I/O will be the new revised Nexus 7 tablet.
And then in the Fall we will get the Nexus-Five phone, running Android 5.0.
I've only had my nexus 4 for 2 months!! Rawr

The Galaxy Nexus came with ICS(first device to have it). It also got updated to JB 4.1 as soon as it was released (June 2012 ?). So why is everyone making a fuss about the N4 getting 2 major Android releases (4.2 and possibly 5.0). In fact 4.2 was not even a Major update over 4.1.
I really hope Google brings out KLP in I/O!

Agreed. I highly doubt they would postpone their software because Samsung is having a fit .However I would see it would make since to do Nexus 5 with key lime pie. I think key lime pie is going to be a almost entirely different os most likely mirroring their new google play/search style. Just my opinion though.
So the rumor that Google would reveal Key Lime Pie at their developer conference has been dispelled by... more rumors. This is a fun game.

Surprised by lack of development

I had the Asus TF201 and TF700, then gave the TF201 to my sister. I considered getting the TF701, but the lack of development has me reconsidering now.
Also, though I've never cared for any Samsung tablets, their newly announced Note Pro has me thinking of getting it once it's released. Since getting the N7 FHD just before launch, I've barely used my TF700 anyway. There isn't TOO much difference in display size, and the N7 FHD is much easier/comfortable to hold when lying in bed and reading or gaming so I grab it 99% of the time. I think having the 12.2" display on the Note Pro will be better than a 10.1" for reading and gaming too. I had the Note 2, then got the Note 3 on launch day. I like that the Note Pro looks a lot like the Note 3 as well. My only complaint is that the Wi-Fi only version of the Note Pro has the Exynos Octa-Core. The LTE version has the 800, but I have no use for an LTE capable tablet. I wish the Wi-Fi only version had the Snapdragon 800, or even the Tegra 4.
So, that brings me back to considering the TF701. Do you guys think development will pick up soon? I know it will eventually pick up at least a little, but don't wanna wait for the device to be close to a year old before there is a large rom selection.
What are the thoughts of you current TF701 owners? Are you still happy with your purchase? Does the lack of development bother you, or do you normally even flash roms to begin with?

Well it will but only when Asus will and can fix the build quality problems very very soon!
When not then this combo will be a big fail for them.
Still everybody here is very curious if builds from November and later are OK.

Well it won't be cm11 based but it will be a version of CROMi-X for the TF701T from 4.3 sources.
I love the tablet, and the third dock is great. Amazon finally got the updated docks, and while the build quality doesn't feel as nice as the tf201, I can get Wi-Fi at twice the distance and I don't have the crippling lag. I an a crack flasher and the lack if Roms has bothered me, but honestly the stock rooted ROM is pretty close to perfect for me. I just miss my nightlies.
Who was the supplier you ordered the dock from on Amazon? NewEgg?
To cheer us all up I just unpacked the latest Asus update, repacked the kernel so it allows rooting and adb commands, inserted busy box, removed the Asus dial home apps and rooted it
Flashed it and it works fine
Will release it tomorrow now

You should definitely check out sdbags' rom! He does great work, and his roms don't remove features like CM roms do! Flashing CM roms on a feature-rich device makes absolutely no sense whatsoever! Well, of course that is unless you simply don't like using the features on that particular device...

How long will the 2012 Nexus 7 be supported?

How long do you think before Google drops support for it and we get no more updates?
Even if they do drop support for it that's what places like this are for. I'm still rocking a 5 year old phone. Granted it might not be as fancy as the newer models out there. With custom ROMs produced by the fine people of this site it's still up to date as far as what OS it can run.
i think probably soon. htc one X with tegra 3 has dropped support saying nividia did not provide the driver. I reckon for the next update, google will probably say the same thing. Just like how they stop updating galaxy nexus with the same reason
They want you to buy newer models so updates will stop on any device.

There will still be custom ROM's that you can flash and it'll be compatible for years to come.
I've no intention of getting another tablet for a while yet I may get a chrome book next but I primarily use my Nexus 7, best thing I ever bought.

Agreed....best thing I ever bought. Totally worth the money and when it comes to support.....I'm still using a 2011 HTC rezound running kit kat thanks to the developers on here. Our nexus 7 (2012) will get updates thanks to developers for quite a while still.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
As you know Kitkat is not compatible with Galaxy Nexus, a 2011 device...
I still think that new version of Android will be compatible with Nexus 2012 (I have one so I hope so too), but probably that was the last officialy version released for this device.
It could change if they sell a new Nexus 7 this year. If they do so... I think that they will drop Nexus 2012 support this year...
The official GNex was dropped not because of the device itself (KK runs fine on my gf's GNex), but because the SoC's manufacturer (Texas Instruments) closed its SoC division and so they stopped updating the drivers and Google wants updated drivers in every new releases.

As an owner of a previous Tegra device (g2x) I'm pretty aware of the vendor's level of support: None. Basically, once Google is done with it, nVidia will be done as well. So I wouldn't count on upgrades going on forever like we're used to with Qualcomm devices. Still, I'm getting one cheap as a backup for my N7 2013 LTE (which is in the process of getting a new screen leaving me tablet-less for now... ugh)...
Nexus devices usually get support for 18 months. So it will most likely kit kat is the last update for nexus 7 2012.

Nexus 6 with 4.4 Kitkat ?

isolated supposed to have been delivered in the states the nexus 6 with Kitkat. Whether the stories are true or not I dont know.
Maybe anyone has a Kitkat-Rom for the Nexus 6 ?

Nexus 6 was delivered with lollipop. Unless someone does a crazy backwards port, I wouldn't expect the nexus 6 to get kitkat at all

There was an early issue with some Nexus 6's where they came with KitKat and are in a factory test mode. This mostly happened to ATT versions of the phone.

I know people had asked for them to pull the software off the phones but I don't think anyone did and or were able to. I haven't seen anyone mention this issue in over a month.
The phones didn't work at all on KitKat. They would start and go to black screen. They recalled them. No one ended up with a n6 on KitKat that worked.
