As the title suggests. I'm interested to hear what people have installed and got successfully running the Ubuntu install on the Nexus 7. Is there a spreadsheet anywhere that outlines compatible and experiences?
Ideally, wanting to know if anyone's been using Eclipse with any other plugins (specifically anyone tried FDT would be cool)
Cheers
Keep in mind you can't run x_86 applications on an ARM device... so I don't know if eclipse will work at all, me being oblivious to whether or not they'd have an ARM version.

You mean on the computer or tablet?

I see that there's an armhf Raring compile of Eclipse > https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/raring/armhf/eclipse
I suppose if you want to get even more pedantic and specific, I was ultimately wondering if you could also hook up another Android phone via OTG usb, then with Eclipse and FDT you could compile out Captive runtime Air?
I know I'll probably get shot down in flames with a "why don't you just get a laptop", and I am contemplating that too, but ideally I want/need to get a a tablet so the N7 is looking more likely. Tbh, I'll probably use Android more, but potential dual booting with Ubuntu functionality would be the icing the cake.
Been testing ubuntu using multirom. It's nice to have but I still feel that it needs to be more tab friendly and a few bugs ironed out. Boots quick and looks nice. I have also tested bohdi linux and that works well too. In time ubuntu will be a winner on the nexus 7 I think.

I read an article where it stated that since webOS went open source. Some developers are succesful in porting it ro android devices. I want to know how true it is and is there any flashable for our galaxy note???

It will be impossible without proper sources for hardware drivers.

Web os itself may be fine to import, but it's still so new, as previous poster said it's the kernel that needs the real work per device.

I was going to start a thread on this, but the search function turned this one up, recently Open WebOS has been spotted in the wild on a Galaxy Nexus and the Asus Nexus 7, so does this bring us any closer to a Note port? or even better a way to dualboot both similar to the HP Touchpad would be awesome! are their any devs actively working on this since i can't seem to find any info around the forums / internet in general, but i think there would be quite a lot of interest and plenty would be willing to test it if someone with the skills was able to make it happen
I like webos because its plain and simple and can do the basic required work if u succed in getting any info regarding its port then feel free to post.

Sorry to revive but if I had WebOS on my GT-N7000 it'd be like heaven in my palm!! We can't allow the Nexus to have this over us! Sorry to say but IMHO, WebOS smoothness and multitasking ability straight kills both android and iOS! (I have an iPhone, Note I, and Palm Pre). Sign me up if we need a team to get this going on our n7000.
Its also my wish to get the webos on my note or any other mobile device. I am now fed up of android and their spying data collection stuff. The permissions just feaks me out when a simple game says it needs to read the phone book and call logs. Wtf where the hell an app needs to get these permissions. The second is the location thing. they just make us use their os because of the wow factor. Ignoring what its doing to UA

If an unlocked bootloader isn't necessary, it can be done I presume

Yeah but most likely we might be able to port it to our device as seen in other forums they were able to flash Ubuntu touch through Safestrap 3 recovery

It's based on CM 10.1 so not until that works, I would assume.

Could you give a link to this? I cannot find it.
Nevermind. I found it. And for being alpha/beta, it is absolutely wonderful.

Glad you found it. I was pretty impressed as well. Would be sweet to get data working on it.
I'm guessing you had the same issues I did?
Yeah. It only lagged when I had a bunch of apps open too.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices/xt926
In a nutshell:
flash this in CWM
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-to.../current/saucy-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip
and this:
http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/xt926/phablet
Due to missing files, its not really a flash you would be able to use as a phone...but if you are heart set on seeing how the ubuntu touch os feels, go for it...
I am actually doing my first build with the necessary files to get everything working right now... Goal is mainly to just get radio working so I can actually use this OS as a phone. I have copious notes, so if things don't work, there were steps I skipped due to my lack of knowledge and they caused issues....So I should be able to slowly find answers and get a radio working build in time...
Will update later after this build is done and I try flashing it. Answer will probably be, did not work, but I'm trying! :good:
It did not work, though I had some good discussion on fixing the things I need to...
I'll keep working on it and post in the dev section when I have something that is working.
Booted up the build a few posts above and it's pretty damn nice!! Once everything gets won't which I'm sure it will eventually I'm definitely gonna give it a go

FTFY
Been running hashcodes build for a few weeks now
Its fun to mess around with. Battery drains pretty quick. WiFi works so that's probably why.
If anyone installs they should wipe system and factory reset before flashing.
Flash the Ubuntu phablet zip first and Hashcodes build second.

I have been reading about this lately. From what I understand is that it can be ported to any device capable of running CM 10.1.....CM 10.1 and CM 10 are both jellybean. Is it possible to use CM 10 as the base since we have it?

This is the main reason I myself got so deeply interested in the Android community. I've been strictly a Linux user for years (Windows and the whole Microsoft company are way to money hungry and can't develop anything worthwhile), and although Ubuntu isn't my distro of choice I would love to have it ported to my device.
A dual boot scenario of Android and Ubuntu would be awesome!:victory:
Multi booting Android/Ubuntu is possible on a Nexus 7, and it works wonderfully. I would recommend you get one if that is what you've been longing for. Check the forums here. It's pretty easy to do. Here's a link for ya. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2011403

Is it possible to port Ubuntu Touch to the TP? I think it'd be as awesome OS on this tablet. I used it on my Galaxy Nexus and it was nice but didn't have mobile data or calls. Since our device only needs WiFi that wouldn't be an issue. Just wondering if anyone has any plans to port it.

It probably wont be a fully working daily driver until Canonical releases a fully working daily driver though. So unless you want to have it for developing, dont bother.

Okay.
Has anyone actually gotten Ubuntu touch working on the atrix HD?
They have it running on the similar moto devices like the razr and stuff. So....?
Thanks, this would be really cool if anyone could come out and say it works.
Tried it a month ago... it baaaaaaaaaarely works... the one compiled for our phone is all but a proof of concept. Avoid it.

I didn't even get wifi to work. No data, no market, battery drain like crazy, you name it. Other phones probably have it better but not the msm8960 chipset we have.
