Port Asus ZenFone 2 (ze551ml, Intel Atom Z3580, PowerVR G6430) - Ubuntu Touch Ports to Android

Any ideas for Ubuntu Touch porting for Asus Zenfone 2 ?
x86 processor is ideally suited to run Linux programs , + 4gb ram
I think will be a very powerful ubuntu phone

Dual Boot possible ???

hi all
Is it possible to do dual boot on the Galaxy Note ???
i mean dual boot with one Windows and one Android...
i could find some threads in S2 forum with dual boot having a AOSP based and custom ROM, but both are android only...
But with so much capable hardware, isnt it possible to have both windows and android in our phablet(Phone and Tablet ) ???
thanks
No.
Windows doesn't support ARM platform.

if i am correct, now windows supports ARM architecture too...!!!
Well, I suppose he's referring to windows phone that does support arm and not windows 8 that will support arm but it's not available yet. .
In principle is possible but likely difficult to do since it requires a lot of work and reverse engineering from developers because windows phone is not open source software no access to the code (as far as I know).

Full OS or just Shell?

Pardon me,
Noobs hereBut i seem confused with Canonical statement, does Ubuntu Phone OS full fledged OS? or it's just running as shell (like Flyme OS or Miui?
Since canonical said that Ubuntu Phone OS will be available for all (almost) Android phone when it released, do they just release the source code and instruction for porting? or they will release an improved and completed version of Ubuntu for Android seen here:
http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/android
It's a full-fledged os. Not a launcher or modified android rom.

what he said was true..but could android device fully support on ubuntu os..or it has similar specification as android phone?

there are two versions of ubuntu
one: ubuntu on adroid
this run ubuntu Desktop UI from android and run with android at the same time....
so it can posibly run on any android device that have enough CPU power and RAM
and maybe it need special modified android to run propertly
if that will be released for some devices .... devs will port it to other android devices
PS. to run ubuntu desktop from android you need to connect device to TV or monitor and to keyboard and mouse, so devices that can't connect to TV will be not supported
destkop apps usulally need much more space than android apps
and second
Ubunto for phones
thats complitly new OS that posibly run android on kernel(i'm not sure so correct mi if a'm wrong)
and it can problably run on any device that runs android (if that device have enough CPU power, RAM and strorage)
sorry for my poor english ... I hope you can understand this
It doesn't even matter what kernel Ubuntu Phone is based on because they're gonna release the source by the end of this month so we can port it to whatever we want (theoratically).

Yes we will be able to install ubuntu phone os in all android devices. Ububtu is build on the same linux kernel which android uses. So all drivers are available for android devices. How ever it won't be a single image like like ubuntu for pc. There will be separate images for different devices.

[Sprout 16] Infinix Hot 2 X510

Hey guys I just got the android one varient Infinix hot 2 X510. It cpu is the same as other sprout 4 and 8 devices.
1.3GHz quad-core Cortex-A7 CPU, MediaTek MT6582 chipset, Mali-400MP2 GPU
However it has 16gb internal storage a a 2gb ram.
Would this be considered sprout 16 and how would I port cm12.1 and other roms to this device.
-----------------------------
I have stumbled to what seems like source code for the MT6580.
Any one with experience could you look into this and see if we can compile aosp to this android one device

It says MT6580 though

I missed that, all the spec websites said it has MT6582
Could you cpuz your processor so I can see the difference.
Do you think this would mean I couldnt port Android One Sprout 4/8 roms to this device?

Yesterday I stumbled upon what seems to be like the source code for the motherboard mt6580

What do you think now?
MT6580 for some reason uses a single-core version of the Mali-400 GPU. It's curious how it can handle 720p when there's another MTK chipset with MP2 GPU configuration but can only handle qHD screens.

Will we have Android 8 Roms?

For a long waiting, Android 8 is finally here.
And ZR has working for 4 years
I wonder if our phone will have an Oreo update?
It would be cool, and a chance to revive our phone.
Thanks.
I read somewhere that it will only be available for devices with 64bit processors, so i highly doubt it

Dogo will get Oreo update.Android support both 32 and 64 Bit Architecture.

64 bit OS for SM T715?

Hello to all,
For t715 with Exynos processor, it is a 64 bit ROM on XDA?
I don't find any thread with...
Anyone know about this?
I appreciate any feedback.
Hello,
While the Exynos processor is compatible with 64bit instructions, Samsung never enabled it from the kernel. No device with this processor was ever released with a 64bit version of the kernel, thus, all custom ROMs are forced to use what's currently available: 32bit ARM instructions.
Since the processor first got used inside the Galaxy Note 4 (which was launched on Android 4.4, before Android supported 64bit instructions) Samsung had to use a 32bit kernel. It was not worth the extra effort in rewriting the entire kernel from the ground up just to make it compatbile with 64bit instructions. And now here we are, 6 years later.
Hope that cleared up any question you might have had left. Have a nice day!
