Raspberry Pi or Liveview

Hey guys. I am in in between these two things. Shall I buy the Sony Ericsson LiveView or shall I get the Raspberry Pi? I know these things are too different to compare but....
I will buy the raspberry pi if it supports Ubuntu. Because that's what I basically live on. If you have sources for Ubuntu for the Pi or for a new Raspberry Pi with an Arm v7 CPU and more ram, please share them here. Thanks.

Go for the Raspberry Pie. It's My personal choice, but a smart watch is something that hasn't grown alot. On the other hand the Raspberry pie has unlimited use. Personally I used it as a Linux box and then started to use it as a media player along with RaspBMC.

I have a liveview and it is awesome but i think that a pi would be a better choice
(As far as i know you cant run ubuntu on a pi D
sony xperia ray
ics 4.0.4 rooted
stock rom

Thanks to both of yall.
No Ubuntu on pi. It has armv6
And I was thinking that shall I buy the Pi B2 or shall I wait for a newer version of the Pi with better specs and armv7.
Please post any sources for a new version of the Pi if you have it .

Use Pi to compile ROM/kernel for other ARM devices

So I have my Raspberry Pi and while waiting to develop my Giant Flying Robot with it, I was wondering if we can use it to compile a kernel or ROM for one of my phones. I know it will be much slower than on Linux on x86 or the Mac, but I'm in no hurry.
I am fairly competent in building regular kernels for linux, but Android specific kernels are new to me and I want to to a few test runs.
Plus the other architectures need a cross compiler, where as the Pi is already using ARM processor. Don't know if the different versions need different compilers. I don't know where to start, so any suggestion are appreciated.

Start here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=564
Or here, because your raspberry is a real linux pc and you can use tutorials like this one:

Of cause the cpu is slow and it has a smal ram, but possible it's enough.
Try it!

Compile
if you also want to compile android:
It doesn`t work with Android, the needed time would be so high.... And you need many disk space.
By the Way:
The very Slim Linux Kernel took so many hours on my Pi. I woudn´t prefer it.

[Q] Developing apps and compiling roms on raspi

I'm thinking of buying a raspberry pi for learning programming and I wonder if it is possible to develop android apps and roms on the raspberry pi.
Probably the device is too weak but I thought that of running Quake 3 on the raspi, too.
So I am asking you if anyone has experiences with developing Android on the raspberry pi.
I hope you can help me.

Doesnt say anything about Android on the site.

Android will most likely never run on pi. As far as compiling android roms on the Linux platform. Feasible at best, with half gig ram I think it would take some time to compile, but I have no experience with that. What i have experienced.... nothing on pi is fast

OK, thanks. I think I will do a little Python programming and maybe a lego robot. Do you have suggestions what to do with GPIO exept from led?

check out the projects thread, I have one to run my charcoal smoker, reads three meats pid controller runs a fan to stoke the coals. I have one to run my sprinkler system in my garden, 4 zones on a timer,I want to add a moisture sensor to that and automate it

Either by swapping on a cheap USB 3.0 drive or by waiting a little longer, the RasPi should make a dirt-cheap nightly build server! Imagine compiling CyanogenMod overnight without spending more than 2W of power! And even faster by overclocking to 1GHz with a 3$ heatsink kit! :victory:

How close are we to running Android 5.x on the new Raspberry Pi 3 ?

Now that we've got a quad-core 64 bit processor, as well as many handset connections and do-dads, are we any closer to a serviceable Android port for current releases?

Android is able to run also on Raspberry Pi 1, it is not a problem about SoC.. As we can see there are no Devs able to port Android to Raspberry Pi.

I'm actually interested in doing that. Just got my RBP3 and I will give a try and hopefully learn something.
Anyone interested to team up?

I saw a video of a guy running 5.x on Raspberry Pi 2 https://youtu.be/aSgQDhM84Ko

yeah i'm interested in teaming up. email me at [email protected] i already started to work on this.

Do you need specifically Android 5? peyo (can't post links - search for "peyo-hd" on GitHub) is doing great work with his CM repositories for RPi2 + RPi3. We also have a working image for RPi3 based on AOSP Android N Preview (again, no links... "RTAndroid" on GitHub). We also have downloadable images at our website.

Raspberry PI 3 is going to be supported officially by Google. So someone can port it for RPi2 too hopefully. Links:
Official Raspberry Pi 3 Twitter page
Google's AOSP repository for the Raspberry Pi 3

Wow, that is very exciting. I am developing an application for use on the AndroidOS/JM for remote data collection, SalmonCam (https://twitter.com/yatrafish). I've had problems coping with the subtle variations in manufacturer Android builds and hardware specificities. I am hoping that we can create custom ROMS for the Pi that are less phone-ish and more technical. Thanks.

Based on the fact that the repository is still empty, I think it will take a while until we have an official version. Would be pretty cool though.

That sounds amazing. Becoming more technical is exactly the reasoning behind RTAndroid. Although we gave up on RPi2 as it was super slow.

I agree totally, there is a significant need for a modern technical OS.
WinCE/PocketPC is the primary option where ruggedized field terminals with hardware buttons are needed. See http://www.junipersys.com/ for an example of the industry standard device.

I'm glad I finally found somebody with a similar opinion. We did actually contact several manufacturers/resellers of rugged tablets, but only a small part of them were interested in Android in general. And those who were told us they are happy with the normal AOSP. I never understood how they don't have any other requirements for those devices. May be customers are now yet aware of what is possible.

Not sure whether it has to be Android 5. There are several working images with support for Android N.

Raspberry Pie development to communicate with smartphone

Hi,
I had one question, so I have a bit of experience with Java and Angular. Now I wanted to develop an Application for a smartphone which has to communicate with a raspberry pie in order to display a few things. After researching a bit I found out that for raspberry pie development python is the most suited one. But I kind of do not know where to start? For starters which language would you advice to use for the smartphone side and where to start for the raspberry pie? For smartphone I thought of React-native due to it being cross plattform but I do not know if it is compatible with python.
How should I start especially with the raspberry pie side?
