I had installed successfully UBUNTU with VNC but result was not one can use daily so removed in one hour, though good for experiment.
And our OB processor is not enough powerful you can throw Linux. Minimum requirement for UBUNTU is dual core processor.
Search UBUNTU on mobile, or UBUNTU;s official site.
cant we run win 95 ?

I don't mean linux on androi, I mean installing linux instead of android and I'd like to use Angstrom and if galaxy spica and gio can run it our OB will do it !And it doesn't requires prosessors clock and a lot of ram because there is no android, it runs along as native os.And i know about ubuntu for mobile, it runs on android and it is like a linux on android.

No.We can run linux because we can take android's linux kernel.Android is very low weight linux.
First we need just enable framebuffer console in kernel, this will help us with starting linux ::

Android is based on Linux, so what do you expect by running Linux on OB?
I don't have time to do that, so I'll just wait and see your progress then...
What will you choose? Computer with linux dis. or with android?I think with linux.

I was launched with apk i foger it two weeks ago windows 95.It booted 30 sec.mouse control was very hard and i couldnt access sd files.Than I delete win95 image and application.
Win 95 can run alongside android but if u want to make it your native os u must work alot to port it.And in this thread i don't mean runing any os with android i mean runnning linux dis. instead of android.

Any 1 heard about ubuntu on mobile (not port or just emulating with vnc).?
check official website (www.ubuntu.com).
Any 1 can confirm if it needed to be ported or out of box support for any mobile?:victory:

Closing thread. This topic is already being discussed here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2079881
Hi guys,
If you're, like me, greatly excited to get Ubuntu Touch onto your phone, and/or tablet, here is a guide to port it!
It helps you get started on a port:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Porting
Also:
This is not a thread for eta:s for your device port. Nor is it a thread to ask for a port. Both of which you'll have to go to each device's own forum.
This is a thread for discuss ports, get help on them and to share experiences.
For Ubuntu Touch specific questions, see other threads.
FAQ:
Can you port device X?; Ask in your device X's forum. Or even better, try it yourself! It's not that hard, actually. See link above.
Does Ubuntu Touch run Android Apps?; No.
Will it?; Maybe. If anyone cares to actually make it work.
Do I need to have X; run Y; or do Z?; Check the Port guide! https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Porting

Well, it is a dev release for developers and Ubuntu enthusiasts, so they probably already run Ubuntu. And if not, it's a 20 min install.
And porting it is still a large project by itself, so it'll go nicely hand in hand until the stable release of Touch, I think.

Because some of the Android components are reused. Read here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Porting#General
Ubuntu is a distro. Linux is an OS. Android is kind of a distro too.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Actually pending when canonical gets to compile drivers for particular phones which incidentally is probably going to be for only their oem devices, they use the cm base.
Essentially just the drivers and hal layer.
Its not based on CM. It takes advantage of CM base. Its direct ubuntu.
And from what iv seen you can forget about lag. The alpha is awesome compared with android alphas

yes i have read this but my english isnt perfect so i maybe didnt understant something.so because ubuntu and android are based in Linux kernel,they taking some stuff "ready" for more easyness.something like that?
Phones need drivers like your PC does and a kernel which acts as interaface between the hardware and the operating system.
Everyphone uses its own vendor supplied kernel with some modifaction and their own graphics driver. So they use the low-level stuff that already exists for Ubuntu.
You can't just make one "OS" for a smartphone that just works on all devices it has to be ported to the specific hardware (kernel and driver).

thats what i mean.so they took the allready existing stuff from cm10.1 because it will work with ubuntu (or with some small changes) because both OS are based on Linux kernel.i understand right?

Ubuntu is a distro or distribution which is a OS Linux isn't a OS it's a kernel (the underlying framework kinda like the glue)

Wikipedia says Linux is an unix like OS, but the main component is the Linux Kernel. Android only uses the Linux Kernel and not so much the GNU system tools which make it unix like, that is why people generally don't refer to android as a Linux distro.

But saying it like that makes it sound like u can use this as a Mac OS or Windows replacement which I think is what he was asking

You didn't say android was a Linux distro but he did, I was just adding to the conversation.
I think I may understand what you're thinking though. Mac and Windows are not open source and you cant build your own version, so they are not as comparable in that sense, they are binary distributions. But you can build your own Linux configured the way you want outside of any distro, a distro is just a packaged version of Linux with additional packages and configurations.
Had angie tried to pull the source code? It's ridiculously slow on my end. About 15gb at 9 to 152kbs... I guess every dev in the world is trying to pull it...Lol...too bad there's no way to speed it up

Actually, Linux is a clone of the UNIX kernel. Ubuntu is an operating system (or Linux distribution) with a Linux kernel. Android could be considered a Linux distribution as well, even though it's mostly Java stacks on top of a Linux kernel.

Hi guys.
A few days ago, I've started the porting of Ubuntu Touch for Nexus 5 (hammerhead).
Changelog:
Spoiler
*** 4/1/2013 - 17:57 ***
Solved kernel problems. Now there are complications in the ROM. The system does not start despite loads all the drivers. He stands on the bootanimation with frame drops and brightness that goes from low to maximum. Adb works. MTP drivers are detected but not loading.
*** 2/1/2013 - 18:53 ***
Kernel need some changes, in cyanogenmod_hammerhead_defconfig first:
Code:
CONFIG_SYSVIPC=y
CONFIG_NAMESPACES=y
CONFIG_UTS_NS=y
CONFIG_IPC_NS=y
CONFIG_USER_NS=y
CONFIG_PID_NS=y
CONFIG_NET_NS=y
CONFIG_DEVTMPFS=y
CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT=y
CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES=y
CONFIG_FSNOTIFY=y
CONFIG_DNOTIFY=y

CONFIG_FANOTIFY=y
CONFIG_FANOTIFY_ACCESS_PERMISSIONS=y
CONFIG_SWAP=y
# CONFIG_ANDROID_PARANOID_NETWORK is not set
CONFIG_VT=y
CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE=y
and AppArmor second.
You can found some infos here: Touch/Porting - Ubuntu Wiki #kernel[/QUOTE]

Ubuntu touch has the official support for only Nexus 4 right?
In the wiki they have mentioned as other nexus devices should work *theoretically*
Can you post a logcat or dmesg while the system is booting?

Theoretically! It not boot because I have some trouble to repack kernel and create android-ramdisk.img for hammerhead. If you have some ideas for that, you are welcome.

Holy crap! I'm totally watching the progress of this project! I'll gladly help alpha/beta test! Eagerly awaiting a download and install tutorial!
Also, I totally recommend heading on over to the #ubuntu-touch iRC channel if you're having any issues or experiencing roadblocks, as you seem to be at the moment. I'm not a developer. I'm just a mere enthusiast... but I'll do what I can to help make this UT ROM the best it can be. My hope would be that Cannonical themselves will bring out/release something at/before CES this year... but OP if you can add something into your version that the official one won't have, then that'd be awesome... like maybe KDE Plasma Active for the UI instead of Unity... I can dream right?
Update:
Completed kernel parts. Miss AppArmor. After the repack of the kernel, if Ubuntu boot, I'll work on AppArmor. If you have suggestions, you're welcome.

Watching this project closely. With the specs of N5 and if this pulls off it would be a pretty amazing (read: fast) Ubuntu port to N5.
EDIT: if you need a tester I could help, just not with the coding stuff xD
Update 2
Update:
Kernel problems solved. Now there are complications in the ROM. The system doesn't start despite loads all the drivers. He stands on the bootanimation with frame drops and brightness that goes from low to maximum.
I can be a tester, too.
I'm really looking forward to a funktional Ubuntu touch on my N5...
So.... Good luck...

He can make a build and we can test the builds from him. There are many devs who build ROMs inspite of the fact that they do not have the phone BTW team ghost is doing too good for us so sailfish os is also not too far from us.
