Hey guys ive just learnt of an old Ubuntu project called Ubunti MID (mobile internet devices) Now i dont know if this is true or not but this would be awesome if we could get hold of this image or whatever it is to try and get it to work on the Nexus one...

You can already run ubuntu on the phone, what does this have over the ARM version we already use?

I dont know. I put the question up to ask people about it. But i suspect it will be optimized for smaller devices and not larger screens like netbooks or laptops.
A quick search yields results saying development ended and it was for x86 netbooks with an atom processor, which is when development started for the netbook remix.
could we try (kubuntu mobile designed for smartphones)
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu-mobile/releases/10.10/release/
Thats the cdimages of the release
You missed the point about it needing to be compiled for ARM devices.
I mean can this be compiled for nexus has a better ui. I know its x86

Hello everyone,
Is it possible to run dual OS on the galaxy S tab? Like Android and Apple !?

Is that a serious question?

Seems like a legitimate question to me, ViewSonic's ViewPad 10 already does Android-Windows dualbooting, and XDA itself has a thread about dualbooting the HD2 with WM and Android.
If the OP's asking about Android and iOS specifically though, then probably the answer might be no. If someone could do it though, it might actually be a good thing for the Android crowd: shows the Apple fans that choice and customizability is a good thing.
I was thinking the other day that my Tab would be pretty cool if running Windows Thin PC, saw info and a download on the MS site the other day while working on my wifes netbook.
I dont see a problem with either a full working version of Ubuntu or Windows on the GT and Android, or just the full OS. Seems reasonable to put an OS on what is essentially a tablet PC.
I would think its just a matter of a bios, and loading the OS, but I am not a programmer, so I could very well be wrong.
But....I'd load Windows or Ubuntu on the tab if it gave me the 3G ability as well as all other functions.

IIRC I think there's already a thread on XDA on bringing Ubuntu to the Tab. With Windows it might be trickier. The ViewSonic ViewPad 10 runs on Intel Atom, which is already used by other netbooks that run Windows. Windows might not be designed to run on ARM however, which is used on many Android devices. Processor design differences may be the key factor in porting the OS. (I've gotten Gingerbread to run on my Atom netbook though, alas I still couldn't get the touch screen to work)
Would be the first to jump onto dualbooting Android with Windows if it ever comes to fruition though; I'm a Windows developer and it'll be cool if I could write small apps and use them on my Tab.

You can't run Windows because there is currently no ARM version, though MS say that they will support ARM in Windows 8, but by the time this sees the light of day, the Tab will be obsolete.
There is a thread in the dev forum about porting Ubuntu to the Tab, but I believe it is still a long way from fully functional.

Dave
I already posted the question about fully functions in ubuntu for the tab. Specially the phone and sms functions but they denied it. I keep following and hope some day it will work

Thanks for the responses guys. Let's hope one day it would be possible!

since both iOS and Android are ARM based in most cases, you could probably make it happen.
Both Android and iOS are Unix based, so we could achieve this.
Also
It could be easier to port iOS than Honeycomb because iOS source code is avalaible for public, for improvements and bug seeking.
So, Yes, we could have dual OS on the tab, it could be windows, Ubuntu, Maemo, iOS and even Symbian

Don't know if it will work on Galaxy Mini or not... But, Ubuntu is said to be available for smartphone and tablets very soon.... So, just wait for some official announcements and then only we need is some device manufacturer who can make smartphone with the released versuion of Ubuntu for smartphone.
cool !!!! keen to see ubuntu in my mini !!!
if anyone tries, please post!
It's works only if your ROM build supports uloops.
Original idea was posted by same guy that jailbrake iphones.
A original quoted think by Saurik:
Code:
This does not replace Android. This also gives you access to the full plethora of programs available in Debian and let's you continue using your phone as it was intended to be: as an Android device with all the capabilities thereof.
Please note that this is not a "port": Debian already supports ARM EABI, which is the underlying architecture of Android.
http://www.saurik.com/id/10
I tested a wile a go to install but was unssuces because my ROM build dose not support uloops.
But is not realy a Linux.Is just a linux installed on a device and you can visualize via a VNC server.Is almost the some with using a VNC to remote connect via wifi to your pc ,but this time is installed on your sd card.So speed is not limited anymore by wifi or 3g connection.
Debian and Ubuntu(what is a debian version) has support for ARM processors with armel builds.They build first time armel support for PPC notebooks that had ARM v.5 and ARM v.6(not very sure). Cortex cpu.So a native support for ARM cpu-s is there from long time.
I have no idea if support ARM v.6.
There is also a KDE version but supports only ARM v.7

And is come only with a HP tablet and Nvidia Tegra 2 for the moment.

Why would you wanna go to windows 8 with android around ? Android on G-note is much more powerful than with windows.
incase you haven't checked the "apollo" and it's capabilities please do a brief research...
windows phone 8 is on a whole new level of competition here...
considering the release of windows 8 for our computers... and the Microsoft E3 press conference... i doubt that "crappy" tag someone just gave above this comment...
i've been using windows mobile 6, 6.1, 6.5, windows phone 7, mango... and galaxy note is my first android device...
before galaxy note i was using htc hd2 and i still have that device... (but galaxy note is my primary device) so i thought if we can port android on a windows phone why can't we port windows to an android phone?
and for the respected people who are interested in this idea... i think we need another version of MAGLDR (like we had in htc hd2) and maybe we can install the "apollo" on our SD card...
we may have a dual boot device!
if you can find (or develop) the drivers, yes... it can be ported.
and yes, i dare say any winblows product is crap
you may "dare" **** your pants or eat crap sir/madam, nobody cares about that... and if you find this post soooo uninteresting or "crappy" why bother replying nonsense thoughts of your p-brain which (...is actually dehydrated) aren't useful for anyone?!
and thanks for the motivation you just gave me... :]
i posted this question to discuss, maybe help real developers/people not assclowns/disrespectful people who don't even respect the hardworking developers who create these operating systems for us...
Its my humble opinion !!!
I was also a user of Windows and bada OS' . And with android around they are not even in the competition. And this is my own opinion, so i'll move it off.
Android is, indeed, more powerful than Windows. But, different strokes for different folks.
Since we have sources now, I'm pretty sure more developers will come along soon and hopefully, for your sake, a developer that can port Windows 8. The more variety, the better, for us all.

Being fair, would it be worth to port it in d note cuz, it involves a lot of time and much more risk( With mmc brick bugs in stable releases themselves).

If you want the windows UI, you can install launcher 7. It's a launcher for your note with the theme of windows 8. try it

don't hold your breath. those sources are linux based as android is linux based. do you expect devs to develop a winblows OS based on a linux kernel?
maybe.... just maybe.... when the winblows kernel is freely available and somebody is really interested to port or develop the drivers, then maybe you might have a winblows "experience" on your note. and while you're at it, why not wish for iOS port to Note?
keep wishing........
people hate it when the absurdity of their delusions hits them smack in the face.

If you want it to come true, put out a bounty.
First of all, my apologies if this thread belongs to Q&A - I was not sure mods.
I read about Jolla Sailfish OS being open source. Is it possible to port it on Galaxy S? I have seen no discussion about it. Sailfish OS does look promising.

I'm curious, what is the advantage of Jolla vs android?
For a short while I was excited to hear ubuntu was making its way to phones, then with a mix of going from ubuntu to arch on my desktop and the realization that ubuntu doesn't have much of an advantage over android anyway I kinda forgot about it...

Sailfish uses mer as core of its system. I once read a blogpost...see above...that they try to make the display server wayland,the new xserver replacement compatible with android graphic drivers. I think it will be possible to get the rest of the drivers also somehow working....well i want sailfish too but atm i can only wait

android has the fragmentation and lagging problem after a certain usage. also the interface of jolla is really nice , why buying a Jolla if SGS still has some fight left in its big heart?? :victory::victory::victory:

Aye Wayland is exciting, but what with all the snags it runs into (Ubuntu abandoning it, getting forked) the relatively small team will probably not complete it in a few years yet...

Looks okay, but there's nothing really groundbreaking about it, or anything that's a real advantage over android considering the customisation you can do with android, or am I missing something?
I had a look at a couple of demo videos for it but I can't see any great things about it that would make me want to change OS. I've already got a hidden status bar(expanded desktop), on off toggles for things I like to be able to quickly switch(quick settings), and nice looking customised home screens.
Controlling apps from their multitasking thumbnails was the only real new thing I saw, and about the only use for that is pausing music or skipping tracks (which was obviously the way it was demonstrated in their videos, because it's pretty much the only use for such a feature). With any other app you need to be able to see what you're doing, so even that is a bit pointless.
Oh, and sailfish is a silly name.

It`s not about customizations or having something special. It is new and hopefully wont start lagging after one week of heavy use

Anything new is welcome with an open heart. It's not about jumping ship to a new OS ... But trying them is what I am interested in the most.
I still want to user Ubuntu Touch on daily basis but it's the app ecosystem the issue for my daily use.
Is any here can port sailfish os for us
As using android on this device is very laggy even if u flash GB (2.3.x)
