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.

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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/general/sailfish-os-coming-soon-t2620623 in this link nexus 4 has sailfish os, can you port it ? Or is that possible ? I want so badly.
can we wait for Ubuntu OS liike Meizu MX3 ?
Tcl have a new os "smart tv2" is there anything that can be done with it as far as rooting or converting to a proper android os. it is based on android but is not android and apps are extremely limited and I can't find much info on this os at all
I ove android x86 and old devices that can run lineage OS to extend time usage.
