Just wanted to start a thread for everyone that will be trying out the Ubuntu Phone OS Preview on the 21st Feb 2013 and for people that eventually move to UPOS upon release.
I have a few questions.
1. Will it be flashable in fast boot and does it replace Android completely?
2. Who is going to try it when the Dev Preview comes out on Thursday?
3. What are you looking forward to the most?
I personally use Ubuntu 12.10 (always loved tinkering with Linux distros) on my new PC rig and love it. So I'm naturally excited for the Phone OS alternative. Sound off in the comments below

There's an actually forum entireley dedicated to Ubuntu OS, has all the answers you want already...however,
1. According to early reports, flashable in CWM. However, i'd suspect fastboot more likely, like when installing Nexus 7 image. Replaces Android entirely, so backup backup backup before going ahead with it.
2. Will be trying it out, most likely on my old GNEX however rather than Nex 4 - as I use nex 4 at work, need to have good for enterprise, wont be good for enterprise for Ubuntu OS anytime soon.
3. Everything. I expect Ubuntu OS being native, rather than a JVM like Android's application layer, will set my phones free. I especially like the idea of carrying a laptop in my pocket...

^^Yes. Unwanted thread is unwanted
Ubuntu Touch Developer Preview First Impressions - The OS is pretty smooth, smoother than I expected actually.
The UI is fresh and feels great to use. They have the right idea to handle multi-tasking.
Gesture based navigation is the future!
While I can't use this as a daily driver (it wasn't meant for that anyways) yet, I would definitely recommend it to everyone to try at least.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say if Android (KLP) doesn't have a new gesture based UI with and a better way to handle multi-tasking then it's going to be in deep ****.
I'm very impressed with the OS, can't wait for a build that I can use as a daily driver.

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...

Sailfish OS Now Supports Android Apps Officially
Maybe this will be an added incentive along with the refreshing UI.of Sailfish os.

I'd really like to have Jolla OS on our phone to try Now that its out ...
Crazy what all is possible ...:good:

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 guys,i wanna know if there is someone working on port FFOS to our phone, if yes, I wanna help if possible.
But from wich devices should anybody port it?
Here is the link if anybody want to see it: Firefox OS
I don't think firefox OS is worth to try at this current moment, its UI is ugly, lack of apps support from google play store, bad performance. I would like to see MIUI v5 ported rather than Firefox OS. Anyway, all that just my personal opinion
common ebaseks
I think Firefox OS and ugly, I'd rather carry UBUNTU PHONE, seems much more promising
This is a request thread for developers to port non-Android OSes to Android One devices.
Hello there users and devs of Android One!
Here in this thread, I will put forward the rationale for developers to port mobile operating systems that don't have a robot as a logo to our devices.
Android One is well supported by Google and (somewhat shockingly) MediaTek. Source code can be found on Google's official repositories and as a result, the custom ROM development scene is very much alive. The only thing lacking are the ports of other platforms. We have the install base to test ports (I think), we have CM support (this helps with porting some systems such as FirefoxOS and Ubuntu Touch) and we surely have devs who can do it (you know who you are and I hope that you're reading this).
As for users, please comment down below for what operating systems y'all would like to see on your phones so that we can grab the attention of those heroes behind the screen! Developers can reply to a request directly or PM me if you want to talk. It would be nice if you coders would respond.
P.S. Thanks for all the ROMs and the entire community is grateful for the works you all did for Android One users around the globe! :good:
buy a nexus device and u will have that OS
Android One devices are like cheap nexus devices
The reason many buy Android One phones is to get the vanilla experience for cheap. Some buy it because it's a Google device, therefore, easy to tinker with. Also Nexus devices may not be found easily at retail shops in some countries. That's why I bought Android One. What this thread is hoping to achieve is to (at least) get discussion started on other OSes in our phones. It's very likely that there are people here who bought Android One because of the Nexus-like experience being more accessible.
Will really appreciate the work to port other OS to android One... Hope someone makes that happen
Yes.Can't wait to see another os
FirefoxOS has already been ported to sprout, by Shahidujjaman Khan Anik. He said that he'll make a thread soon.

Great!
That's really nice! I wanted to try my hand at porting it myself, but I ran into an issue during the build process. Glad to hear that someone was successful in doing so!
Hopefully this is only the beginning of OS diversity on Android One.
P.S. Best of luck to the developer and I'll start testing on my device soon.
P.P.S. I'm considering making a thread for him, is that allowed and could I hand over management and/or ownership to the dev after creation?
Happy to see Firefox OS on android One. Hope to see more of them too
Btw is hike available on firefox OS by any means?
News.....

But I hope that he, being as good as he is, will get it running soon!

quick update
ubuntu touch system.img does not installing.... so I cannot boot it
firefox os boot up and works fine for now,
-camera does not work indeed...
-sometimes random crashes
for me it is not a daily driver for now....
Installed Firefox OS
Bugs
1. Sim 2 does not work
2. Cannot connect to mobile data
3. Camera does not work
As @lzimbrea said, not recommended as daily driver

Anyway users have to give it a try! Is first different os for sprout.
Maybe an update will fix some bugs and make it a daily driver
Personally I wait for ubuntu touch build.... Firefox os is a bit immature for now.
Congratulations to dev for his efforts!
What about windows ?Did anybody port it?
Cannot compute
Windows mainly runs on the x86 architecture, while most Android devices like ours run on the ARM architecture. Mainstream Windows will not run and Windows 10 Mobile is closed-source; what this means is that the code is inaccessible for anyone wanting to port it. Unless Satya Nadella sees fit to open up Windows source code, this won't happen.
