About the ubuntu touch, anyone working in it?.
It is still a developer preview and can not used as daily driver... So many things not working and most of the applications are dummy .. Just an icon but the application not working... I tried it on galaxy nexus for few hours and revert back to android...
Beside the fact that p1 do not have the minimum hardware required for Ubuntu final OS that should be released at the end of 2013 and at that time our tab will be really outdated...

I too tried this on the Galaxy Nexus, but the fact that it isn't usable is no excuse, Ubuntu Mobile has been ported to over 20 devices so far, none of them can be used as daily drivers.
He's right though, the original Galaxy Tab does not meet minimum requirements :/

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.

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

Hi Everybody...
I have Samsung Galaxy Note and i'm not happy with Android OS.. So is it possible to install Windows 8 on Galaxy Note.... basically I'm a big fan of Microsoft...
Windows 8 on ARM devices requires the use of SecureBoot and that SecureBoot is completely locked down. So first and foremost someone would have to create a SecureBoot-imitation to boot Win8, then that someone would also have to circumvent all SecureBoot-related security systems on Win8. Then would come the issue of drivers: it would be hard to impossible to find drivers that would work on Note, especially the Wacom digitizer is unlikely to ever work.
Ie. in theory it might be possible to run Win8 ARM on Note, but in practice it's very unlikely.
You have to wait little more till note will get OS 5 jelly bean. It well have dual boot chrome Android and windows 8

Please, do not spread falsehoods, it won't lead to anything positive. It is only a rumour that Jelly Bean will have dual-boot facility, not a confirmed fact, and it won't support Windows 8 anyways if they do include such a facility.
Thread Closed​
I can see where this thread is going, so i am going to close it now. I suggest a WP7 phone, if you are a big fan of Microsoft​
In Mark Shuttleworth's announcement of the name for the new version of Ubuntu (raring ringtail) there is a comment that by the next LTS release they want to have Ubuntu up and running on phone, tablet and tv. And it seems to suggest that the Nexus 7 will be the reference device for the tablet edition

I could of course be reading it wrong and getting the wrong end of the stick, its not exactly a detailed announcement ;p
Edit: someone at Canonical has released a video of them demonstrating Ubuntu on a Nexus 7 at the Ubuntu Developers summit http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/10/ubuntu-demoed-on-nexus-7-tablet
Yep, looks like RR will have early alphas for ARM based Android Tablets. Not a surprise that the tablets are supported but nice to see the official stance from Mark on this finally. Common leaks get out there fast please

Looks laggy. Firefox took forever to load
Looks interesting. I'd try it. I wonder how well the Linux apps will multitask on a Nexus 7 processor/RAM.
I don't think I'd be interested in running Ubuntu on my nexus. Ive run it on my laptops for years, but think it'd feel foreign and clunky on a touchscreen interface, even with Unity. After using and loving jellybean on my Nexus, I don't think I'd be able to switch to Ubuntu...
That could change once I actually try it though, ya never know.

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)

Hey everyone. Im sure that you have all heard about Ubuntu For Android. About a few months ago it was just an idea. But now there are over 50 phones supported by developers and about 50 more being worked on.
Ubuntu does officially support the Nexus 4, Nexus 7 (2012 version) and the Nexus 10, and the old Galaxy Nexus. Since they are all AOSP devices and ours is...well someone aosp, i was thinking i would give a go and see what i can do. There is a guide and lots of details and instructions on how to do this on their website:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Install
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Porting
If anyone wants to have a go at this and get in touch with me to work on this together ( i dont have much porting experience but i will try ) because i could use alot of help.
Thanks
PS:You WILL need Ubuntu 12 -14 (any version there). And since my laptop is a XXXX HP it doesnt like ubuntu 13.04 so im gonna have to get 13.10 and work from there since my pc is really really stupid.
Updates:
-After doing some searching. There are no devices in the 8930+ range of Qualcomm chip-sets that have been ported or are being ported. So we will have to either 1. wait or 2. start from scratch.
-Okay...we will also need CM10.1 to build from...and since we dont have cm10.1 i guess we could use the One Mini...if IF if they have it.
