if someone got this working for a touchpad, i would be willing to give up android and webos for this. i am actually a fan of webos and i wish it had better support. i am just a user and no dev, so in reality i am not a solution.
With most things android it will just require the right people and circumstances and it can happen. But the touchpad has had its issues with compatibility and not to short any of the devs here, it seems that there are fewer with touchpads than other devices so ya never know.
As soon as we get 13.04 fully working on the Touchpad (well, at least to a point where it is useable like the 12.10 now) then we can get Ubuntu for Phones. It's not so much the kernel because they're gonna fully open source Ubuntu for Phones by the end of this month so we only need to port the GUI over to the 13.04 base (which should be doable).
Though I'm not sure how useable it would be. I mean, it's targeted for 4-5 inch phones so will it be useable and not just a stretched lay-out like the old Android 2.3 tablets?

Considering that Shuttleworth announced ubuntu for tablets within the last couple days, I think we can be hopeful that a "tablet ubuntu" will end up on the touchpad a short time after it ends up on other android devices.
Basically, its as easy to build as CM.

This can be done.
Pulled sources this morning and cross compiled. In the emulator everything works perfectly. Will have to to wait till the USPS brings me my new tablet in the next few days to be sure. But i think i can have something ready to go fairly soon.
I have done ports before with some success. you just gotta understand, getting it running and getting the hardware support are two very different things.
I will keep this page updated ad i get progress or crash and burn, Either way. Unless Divine_Madcat decides to close this thread as well.

Yes, but when I posted that on February 10 there was no Ubuntu for Tablets yet. But indeed, now there is so it'll probably come to our Touchpad.

Most ov the content at https://code.google.com/p/hp-touchpad-ubuntu/ is not super helpful at this point. The base for the Ubuntu touch system is CM10. The native ubuntuArm project is a much more pure version of the Ubuntu system than the Ubuntu touch system will ever be that it makes half of the files unusable.

Exactly. I thought it was CM10.1 but the base of this is CM. It still will take effort to port, but it's not the same as other Ubuntu variants that have been releases for TP.

I just meant for the partitioning part that he was having trouble with. My scripts didn't have much to do with Ubuntu itself, more terminal commands run within WebOS to create the necessary partitions for Ubuntu. I think those might help still though, if someone wants to keep Android instead of replacing it with Ubuntu Touch.

Sure, you could set up a VNC server under the Ubuntu and then run VNC from either your device (Android) or from an external client. That's what the linked method is doing, so there's nothing inherently better about it.

Arch Linux ARM for TouchPad ALPHA 2
Run pacman -Syu and reboot for a MUCH better, perfect touchscreen!
Now with Gnome 3!
The purpose of this build is to be lightweight and to bring together the community to package up a distribution for the TouchPad and share our findings with good documentation and easy code, and to demonstrate what is working and what is not.
The following is the official Arch Linux ARM forum thread: http://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=1948
All the documentation will be in text files and in the README here: https://github.com/crimsonredmk/ArchLinuxARM-TouchPad
Download
Read the README here: https://github.com/crimsonredmk/ArchLinuxARM-TouchPad and make sure you understand what works and what does not.
Download here (only when not following Installation.md)
Issues
No webcam. No sound. No Bluetooth.
Changelog
Dec. 22 - Gnome 3 is out with the 2nd alpha build. Touch support is a little bit better and xinput_calibrator is included in the menus. Gnome Shell is not working yet, but if you've been avoiding Gnome 3 on a desktop because it's too tablet-centric...well...no more excuses. If you've installed alpha 1, you can either reformat with mkfs.ext3 /dev/store/arch-root and follow the rest of the guide, using this new alpha build instead. Also, the boot logo has been confirmed working.
Dec. 18 - Huge new release for developers and people who like being frustrated. I forgot to install fonts, so pacman -Ss ttf for a list. Also, you need to tell wicd to use "eth0" as the wireless interface in the preferences. Also of importance - we've renamed the LVM partition to be arch-root. The new kernel must be installed to use this new root. If you want to see our logo, don't set verbose on and download the .tga file from our Github and stick it in /boot.
Nov. 28 - Moboot 0.3.5 is out! This means the public can install and use Arch Linux ARM on the TouchPad, natively. Read the README!
Finally
cant wait for a fully functional native Archlinux port (mostly, i want a touchscreen keyboard while waiting for the one i ordered to come)
finally DD
seems like we can now only see more and more great things to happen
would be impressed so see some progress on dynamic binary transmission or what it's called too..
did u use lvm or what jcsullins was talking about?
Would this be a triple boot? anyway when I have Ubuntu chrooted in cm7 a2 and a3, it always fails apt-get and apt-get update, so no GUI for me :/ any help?

I didn't notice that Googling moboot 0.3.4v would bring up a total of 2 results. You guys should really wait for 0.3.5 to come out. Don't bother anyone to hurry up with it.

Thanks again crimsonredmk for the hints about Moboot's verbose mode, helped getting Funtoo up-and-running as well .
I didn't hear about this USB keyboard trick before your post, I just ordered some cables, it will help as well...
I hope I'll have some time soon to get the X video driver and touchscreen working!
Not sure of the relevance at this point but if you do have a powered USB hub, You can skip the power Y cable thingy (cant remember name). You still need the host adapter as it has the pins set for sending power to the usb on the touchpad. If nothing else, it will save you a few bucks. Im cheap so its what Ive been using during all testing and running of the chroot and general usage. Hopefully bluetooth isnt too far away as I have a few small BT keyboards now they work really well for a general usage KB that is as portable as the touchpad.
http://www.hp.com/hpinfo/newsroom/press/2011/111209xa.html?mtxs=rss-corp-combined
Now that it is open sourced...and we have a great hackable device..
That is if HP doesn't change its mind like it has on all the other decisions in the last 3 months.

..seems there was some interest at the above thread when it was closed source.. perhaps we will see some renewed interest?
Here's hoping!
I think its a neat idea, however I think they could've garnered their own support (for the os) if they just added compatibility coding with native android apps (webos is still built on top of linux). Open-sourced was still one of the better decisions we've seen from that company in the past year.
What does this thread have to do with the Nook Color?
It has very similar hardware to a webos device, therefore porting it would be a bit easier than for devices with no drivers at all. Could be interesting, I've never played with a webos device so I am kind of curious how user friendly their software is.

I had a Touchpad for a while.. WebOS was nice... was always missing too many need applications to be able to use it all the time, but I truly did enjoy it.
Well, apparently there's a Dalvik emulator coming out soon - so Android apps will appear, just like on Blackberry Playbook.
Besides, I really like how webOS is closer to proper Linux - to the point where people can run distros as cards.
Thank god it's not just me wanting this, fingers crossed the team behind the nexus port releases their methods and findings soon.
I've been lurking around this since I heard the news of open webOS, well this and native Linux .

It probably will be incredibly difficult for any pre-2011 phone.
Please focus on Nexus 7 first.
Im sure it wont be long before we see it on the N7, I am no wiz when it comes to this but I would assume that if it is possible to get it working on the Nexus then it shouldnt be to much more of an effort to get it going on the N7 being in the Nexus family and all.

I ordered a HP touchopad from ebay this morning couse i am able to got the ubuntu Tablet build to work in my emulator and i just cant spend 400 on a nexus 10. Should work. the port will come.
If the port will come, that will be awesome.

that thing is just a demo version so far. i just had it on my nexus4 and its a nice proof of concept but far from everyday use.

You don't have to post that in every topic. Just because it's a demo version doesn't mean it has no value to port to our Touchpad. We already have alpha's for CM, full Ubuntu, Slackware etc. so one alpha more with a real tablet interface is welcome.

Porting to touchpad
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Porting
heres what it says on website
You can find all the needed Android git repositories at http://phablet.ubuntu.com/gitweb. This is basically a mirror of CyanogenMod 10.1, but containing only the needed low level services used by Android (e.g. no Dalvik at all).
As we're using CyanogenMod, we can easily take advantage of all the devices that are officially supported there.
It looks as though porting to our Touchpad should be very nearly cut and paste. Am I correct?

Ok did you even try this Build yourself?
I did and it is a demo. Its not working properly when it comes to more than as sliding the Desktops or starting and closing apps. people get excited and think its a daily driver already. no its not, yet. its just a show of concept. We have alphas from CM running on our touchpad, BUT the CM OS behind that is not alpha. it is a well tested and running OS and that is a HUGE difference here.
Technically it uses the CM Basis and should run on every Device that is able to run CM and meets the minimum requirements mentioned here http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/tablet/partner
Pulled sources this morning and cross compiled. In the emulator everything works perfectly. Will have to to wait till the USPS brings me my new tablet in the next few days to be sure. But i think i can have something ready to go fairly soon.
I have done ports before with some success. you just gotta understand, getting it running and getting the hardware support are two very different things.
