Database Develop

HD7 and Ubuntu

I dont know about you guys but I could really do without Android on my HD7. If I wanted Android I would have just bought myself an Adroid phone. What I would really love to see is Ubuntu on this beauty. I am be no means or claim to be a developer but if I was Id put my skills to work and make it my priority to develop Ubuntu for the HD7.

If by MP7 you mean WP7 then no it is not Android.

It would be awesome to see any linux running on the HD7. The Maemo OS would be beautiful on it. I just wish that I had the know-how to do something like that.

I just really hope to see Ubuntu on the HD7 just like my friend has Ubuntu running on his HD2.

Isn't going to happen anytime soon, that's for sure. Agreed something like that would be nice. Just the hardware gets in the way. No hspl, no way to boot.

I need some advice...tablet construction

Alright, I am pretty well versed in the building of computers and such....and I figured it might be time to try a tablet....I mean, at least explore the options. And I thought it would be a huge challenge....and I saw that one Carbon Tablet that was coming out before the Ipod some guy built...and I've toyed around with Carbon Fiber body stuff before I thought this would be a fun project.
I have decided that theoretically it would be best to build this tablet to run on Android so that it could be upgraded to Honeycomb.
What exactly should I be looking for to run this thing? I'm thinking Capacitive screen probably, I assume Tablets run on SSD's, what type of processor etc?
I am sorry if this is the wrong forum, but I figured if anyone knows what it takes to run Android well....it's these guys.
Thanks!!

well, id have no idea how to make a tablet... but i know that they run on ARM processors, which are most of the time 'texas instrument OMAPS'
i know they usually have flash storage (of course)
But unfortunately for you, i believe that all tablets have custom designed Mobo's, and as ive never seen a "make your own tablet" kit, i dont see where youd find one... (unless you make a super-size tablet with a nano-itx mobo... but then it might be too large and you may as well make a netbook)
EDIT: heres a link to a wikipedia page about texas instrument omap processors: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_Instruments_OMAP
in fact, do look into the possibility of nano-itx boards... you might be able to make a windows 7 tablet?

(?) Dual OS for Tab!?

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.

Dave

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

iOS source code is most certainly not available!

[Q] Ubuntu for Asus padfone

Hello,
I'm looking for a new phone now, and I really want ubuntu OS on it. Either as ubuntu for android or ubuntu mobile OS.
At the moment the Asus padfone seems to me like the perfect device for Ubuntu, but it doesn't seem like anyone agrees. There is no mention of it anywhere that I can see and I can't even find the device on xda. I have contacted Asus and suggested that they work on it, but of course they cannot reveal anything to me.
Does anyone know if there are people working on it? Is it likely that the padfone infinity can run ubuntu alongside it?
Just a question about ubuntu for android: If I run the desktop OS, I will be able to run games on steam? And other games like Heroes of newerth that have a linux version. How well will these games run? I mean: How far behind are ARM than x86?
Thank you

I was really hoping somebody would bring this up... I did some research on the Padfone before and getting Ubuntu on it works like this: if you can get CM10 working on the Padfone then it can be done. The problem is I haven't seen anybody willing to port CM10 to the Padfone, but it can be rooted.

Is this only valid for Padfone "1"? Or is this the case for both of them?
Im thinking about getting the padfone infinity (nr 3). Obviously no one can answer about infinity since it hasnt been released yet, but I was hoping to see if anyone cared about the product line at all

I think for both Padfone 1 and 2.
Link here: http://www.modaco.com/topic/360416-superboot-padfone-2-root-solution/

Hi,
are you people still thinking about this because I'm really interested.
I have the PadFone 1 with phone/tab/keyboard/stylus and think the ASUS done rubbish on the latest version of the firmware.
I'd really like to go with Ubuntu but need to be sure about it as this is my only phone and don't want to brick it.
Maybe you guys should also look at www.padfoneclub.com. They have a forum and people really interested by the device.

ubuntu
Hello guys! Any updates? Did anybody manage to install ubuntu on their Padfone? As I just ordered my Padfone Infinity.

Any News
I have asus padfone infinity and i would like to have Ubuntu on it.
what i don't understand is why the phone is neglected in everything
its one of the best ones i bought.
wierd

Ubuntu Touch or Vanilla AOSP?

I've been considering getting into Android development for quite awhile now. I've read multiple tutorials/guides around the internet and would like to jump into it. I would like some input as to what my first project should be as well as any advice you guys may have. I've used the desktop version of Ubuntu multiple times in the past. Although it's not my favorite desktop Linux distribution, I'm quite interested in trying Ubuntu Touch on my N910T. On the other hand, I really like straight up Vanilla AOSP. So what do you guys think?

well i doubt you would get many users for ubuntu and aosp takes years of development to work properly on any branded devices sooooooooo lol

I vote Ubuntu touch becuase. Ive seen a million AOSP roms. Ive seen 0 ubuntu touch roms

Ubuntu!

I still want to see AOSP with the TW camera and sPen ported. I figure its near impossible otherwise someone would have done it by now but I am still hoping.

Yeah, I was leaning more toward Ubuntu Touch. There's no reason not to try at this point. As part of that, does anybody know any good tutorials for setting up the source repositories? I was able follow the CyanogenMod build guide without any issues, but I'm still trying to understand the build environment structure. Thanks for the feedback.
