Any rumours about Ubuntu OS to our xperia X8?? - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hai guys I watched some of the videos of the Ubuntu mobile operating system in YouTube and heard about it. The developer says it can run in low-end devices and specially optimized for it! If there's any chance of running the Os in our lovely X8..? After the official release.
Curiously asking this.

Todays low end devices have atleast 512 MB of RAM and 1GHz ARMv7 CPU.
Here are the minimal requirements for Ubuntu. X8 can't handle it.

But,Nowadays no developer or Hackers/Users reading the minimal requirement to run OS in their device because for example
Our X8 only can handle Android Eclair 2.1.1 and the maker says it can't go beyond it.But Developers and Hackers managed to take our device
to new high by making the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and its predecessor running on X8. so,i believe Ubuntu will come to X8 by anyway.
Cheers.Sorry for my Bad English

I would love to see ubuntu coming for our device
btw, how does the ubuntu get installed on the galaxy device? By using CWM ?

even if some developer takes up the task... you wont see it coming up for 7-8 months from now

X8 can handle it as it can with jelly bean , but ubuntu is kinda pointless to make it work on our device.

Yes. it's just normal to take too much time to make it work on the device. but when it succeed.

Nothing is impossible..as you can see Samsung didn't cared to release updates after GB..but our mighty development staff..provided us with ICS n JB..that too running better than Samsung's GB..
Ubuntu OS ,currently only for Nexus Devices..official launch in October 2013..so wait for sources to leak..then development will begin..

This thing isn't even remotely as easy as ICS/JB was. The system image itself is huge and the os is a ram hog so unless someone finds a way to optimize the way it uses resources and such, no way

Why is it so resource heavy? Is there a specific area it needs it for? It strikes me as a relatively simple OS.

Google and checkout for the video of the Ubuntu OS as explained in the ces 2013 on YouTube. With so much to offer, you can't really expect it to be light enough to run on our phones. It will take up a lot of ram obviously. Besides, Ubuntu for ace ?! :what: We're just building castles in mid-air if we think that it's happening any time soon.

Why not Ubuntu for Ace?
Ace already have a half working CM10.1 (4.2.2). Who would have thought it would work in the galaxy ace...
Ubuntu I guess it should be the same, slow, and half things working. But it would still work.

Ubuntu doesn't support armv6 so that's the first problem also every single app that I'd on there would have to be ported and every future app will also have to be ported also with regards to the cm 10.1 port the device needs a proper cm port in order for it to count look at it like this
Galaxy s2 - stable cm10.1 horribly laggy crashy Ubuntu (it's a dev preview but still)
Galaxy ace horrible laggy crashy cm10.1.+ armv6 architecture- lucky if it boots up
I'm not gonna go so far as to say it won't happen but you would have to find a dev crazy enough to try porting it and even if he/she (don't wanna be sexist) defys all odds and makes it the same speed as on nexus devices (I.e horribly laggy) it would still have guaranteed very limited usability because of Ubuntu's lack of armv6 support

*** Port Request and Speculation Thread ***

Do not create new threads with port requests!!!
Instead of creating a new thread in the forum with a new request for every device under the sun, post your ideas here. This thread can be used to discuss the possibility, viability or worthiness of a port, then to gather general interest or recruit developers into a project.
All other threads of this type should be reported for deletion to keep the clutter to a minimum.
I own two phones: the Motorola DROID 3 and the HTC DROID DNA. And both are phones I think deserve Ubuntu OS. But my DROID 3 especially, I no longer use it, and have wanted an operating system other than Android on it for a long time. Firefox OS, Open webOS, and now Ubuntu. But out of all of thes , I want Ubuntu the most.
The problem is :
I don't know how to code.
Plain and simple, I have no idea how to do anything you guys do. And so I'm really hoping you can bring a new OS to my now sitting in a corner phone. Will anyone here take the time to develop for it?
Do they meet the system requirements? You might want to ask a rom developer in each of the phone's specific forums
The Droid 3 meets the minimum requirements for the entry level version, but not the high-end version that can dock with a monitor, keyboard, and mouse..

They definitely should, especially considering the Note 2 has 2GB RAM.. Hell, I think the Note 2 could run the regular Desktop ARM obontoo.

My wife has the GIO and it is more of a low-end device..
Anyway, I know there is a lot of people saying it could be ported.
Just so you don't get your hopes up too high. I will mention a few reasons why it most likely will not be ported:
1. It is a arm v6 CPU , Ubuntu ported their core to be arm v7 compatible as a minimum, so if someone manages to port it, to armv6 which involves a lot of code changes and recompiles then the support from 3rd party apps will be very limited to QML/Javascript and HTML5 apps only..
You won't get no apps that contain anything binary QML/C++ as they would need to be ported to the lower architecture as well.. Also all packages in the repository will need to be recompiled and supported from 3rd party's to be used. There is no official support at all..
All together , we are not talking about a port, it will be more of a fork of official to armv6 hf . the effort involved is similar to what raspian has done to Debian to support armhf v6.
2. Less resources on the device.
3. You need to find a developer that is insane enough to do point 1. If you do, then there is still point 2. That can be a problem.

The gio/ace/fit/mini devs can do anything.
Fully working CM10.1, and more.

Gio will get ubuntu one way or the other, if not the devs probably worked their buttholes off.

Yea that's what I hear all the time.. You may have a running cm10 on that device. Sure, but you are comparing native against dalvik VM and that shows you don't understand. You sound like devs are some magicians, we are not, we are human and there are technical limitations on the gio that makes a port useless waste of energy so i am not going to waste time on explaining anymore.
It won't work, just get a new device ...

Can it take anymore ?

Developer community, hi, I had the S1 for about 2 years and still do, its very good phone yo know , however, what ever I do its too slow! I'm running Android 4.2.2 with over clocked CPU and 400+ of RAM, and sometimes when I leave a small app to main, it take sometime to load the launcher,so what's wrong? Was Google right when it stopped the Nexus S updates at 4.1.2 because it can take any farther? Does project better even exist? The fastest ROM I had ever install was ICS RC2 which worked perfectly (I could run MC3 at background then leave and do some thing else, then want back and its where I have lift it) but I had datadata problem and I had to try something els. Know a days ,some new flagships had less specification than S1 and work smother!, in short words: can I make my phone faster ?
All thanks and appreciates to whom worked to develop this great phone.

Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
Well, the more recent phones that come out right now for the low-end market are running alot newer chips than the S1 has. In my opinion, you shouldn't go to far with flashing newer versions of Android. But on the other hand, everyone wants to be on the most recent version of Android. Google had a reason for not pushing 4.2 to the Nexus S. Other manufacturers don't bring out updates for newer phones (for no reason), but Google had a good reason, because the Nexus S' hardware is outdated.
Unfortunately i doubt you can get your smoothest experience in 4.2.2.
If you want pure smoothness you should try a custom 2.3.7 as that would be ideal although i reckon 4.0.4(cm9 base) would do quite a decent job as well.
You have to try out different ROMs and see what best fits your needs.
Is a way that i use it and is good and smooth
But if expect like sg3 no it's not exactly like that but it's close. And don't disturb u
Cause our hardware's are a part of history
I installed 1.2gb apk and work smooth mostly software not game
First;
Buy a sd card high class 10
Format internal storage
Install cm latest version 4.2.2 with Odin
Install kernel like fishear
And set it up
Install cyanDelta
Install auto memory killer and set in optimum value
Install Roehsoft apk and make virtual memory on your external SD
Also never install any luncher cause it's own luncher is very light
and enjoy it
is good for daily works And smooth
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
Of course 4.2.2 isn't going to be perfect. Pushing Project Butter onto our phone was a feat in itself. The smoothest 4.2.2 I've tried is Slim Bean, which really is pretty amazing. But don't be surprised about the fact that the phone can't handle Jelly Bean as well as it should. Its 3rd year anniversary is approaching fast.
Its still a wonder our single-core can handle it fine.

Hei man I dont know what roms are you using but try thinkingridge stable by aways and the c-rom mix 18...everything is stable at 55 frames per second in the ui...and ofcourse your phone will slowdown if you put a lot of stuff in it...its normal...you cannot pretend that is going to be fast as when you fresh install the rom..my girlfriend's iphone 4 is stock,no mods but still it lags a lot more than my VERY OLD I9000 ...
By the way anyone can give me some advices on a gingerbread rom?a kickass one? I saw a couple of releases in this days...they should be good considering that the developers had plenty of time to improve stability and performances...
Thanks
Speed depends on the kernel/rom your using and the way your using it. My suggestion is GamerzRom and use the greenify app. Try it and you ll see. Ive never had a faster rom!

2. Use Nova launcher as default
3. I am running slim bean latest and its fantasiltic
My phone has never run better
Stay away from themes though.
FYI I am a massive app hoarder so you may have a hundred apps on your phone and blame it on that but probability 9/10 isn't.

We don't have great device
And Ubuntu Touch is not yet released in daily driver form for any device. It's like alpha or beta.
Agreed with nishanty13 and ast00.
We don't have a great spec devices (c'mon, ARMV6 Processor, LDPI screen, 600 Mhz processor ? You gotta' be kidding me) and Ubuntu touch isn't stable yet. It still hanging around on Alpha stage.
Ubuntu Touch is just "preview", nothing works except browser. There isn't any real application on it, cannot do anything, it likes a set of screenshots of real OS.

Yeah, agreed with you. I already installed it in my Nexus, but yeah, nothing is great. It's hard porting a full blown desktop experience to a phone. Also, our Mini isn't great at all, you can't just go beyond limit, our Mini is a ARMV6 powered phone with 256 MB RAM, what's so great that you want fully blown Ubuntu Touch ?
No offence but i disagree with idea of porting it.
