It is possible, and I have successfully done it. It is not very useful though. But we are not always interested in usefulness, now are we?
Anyway, google "Desire HD Linux" and I believe it is one of the first, if not the first, links. Similar method geared toward the Desire HD, which is almost identical to our device internally. It works.
Question, but isn't that just VNC?

i'm pretty sure vnc just lets you view your computer at home, or view your screen when you're away.
Do you even know why you would want Ubuntu? Is it for the GUI, our for a better bash shell?
If you look around (I accidentally found this only a week ago) you can find Debian images for the android that they have had out since the G1. And they work on the MT4G.

now the real shocker would be if we could put windows mobile on our mt4g or dual boot either 2 android roms or windows mobile and android.

Yes, it uses VNC. It is used since there are no video drivers available for Linux on this platform, which is difficult due to the lack of code/documentation from Qualcomm. Ubuntu is actually running on the phone's hardware through a chroot shell, and VNC connects to the local host via a socket connection to provide the display. Just a way for the display to be displayed, if you will.

Is there any app available that will allow me to control my Desire from my PC (via b/tooth or usb cable connection)? I've seen VNC suggested, but can only find VNC Clients for Android that go in the opposite direction (control PC from Desire). VNC Server for Android?

i've been looking for something similar that doesn't involve installing the android jdk. if you don't mind this might be of use to you :

Search the market for droid vnc server. I know this thread is a year old but that app is handy for anyone that found this thread using google like I did.
Cheers,

Any chance we'll see a vnc of this os? I know it was done on the samsung epic which obviously is far less hardware than this beast right here . Big ubuntu fan, as I'm hoping most of us are here. I'd love to help with this project, just don't know where to start. I'm assuming that we need SD enabled first though.

On my epic, I was able to use androidvnc to boot up ubuntu with a server login and such after I placed the file on my SD. So i am quite aware what vnc is in reference to this thread. Either way, i'd be stoked. Vnc is probably easier than finding a way to partition then dual boot, but lagginess and quality will be sacrificed. I was just curious as to how to get this done. Asking for help, not snide remarks
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
A vnc client simply connects to a vnc server (running on almost any operating system) to display over the network. So I am confused as to why you would need storage space, or to 'boot up' anything on the xoom.
There are VNC apps on the market, have you tried them?
Vnc itself has nothing to do with running another OS inside another OS.

While we wait for official Ubuntu on our phones, we can experiment with other ways to get it running unofficially.
There are numerous guides to running Ubuntu using a chroot and VNC but VNC is often considered slow.
I will suggest using this app (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14816535/AndroiX-debug.apk) instead of Xvnc. It's X window made into an app.
Start your terminal and chroot normally, then launch AndroiX. Now type in your terminal:
export DISPLAY=localhost:0
xinit
and switch back to AndroiX running your Ubuntu desktop.
This sounds awesome. Can't wait to try it out
This is cool.
How much of a speed improvement have you noticed on this versus VNC
Wow, can't wait to try :victory:
Keep getting x server errors =[

If you really want to make us a favor, you should add more information. Just posting an APK from some Dropbox account is not going to help users.
What is needed:
1. There is this "AndroiX" project with a Google Group at https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/androix-users , which does not have a delivarable yet, and probably the APK you are refering to, has to do with that project. Can we get a proper picture as to what exactly that this APK support? Yeah, it's an X server, written in Java, that supports some X protocols. Can we get an APK from some official page?
2. Is what you mention related to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxats9ejrG0 ? It has even fewer information.
With a proper description, you will get dozens of Thanks. Or anyone who can pick it up.

First of all, this is Windows, not Windows Phone. But since we're on the topic, there is an app called Instapic for Windows 8 that is a full-featured Instagram client and works great on my computers (including Surface) As for Windows Phone: I have WP7, and the best I've found is #2instawithmassivelove (gotta love the name). This works, but it's pretty buggy and slow on my phone. However, there is now a quasi-official app for WP8 called Hipstamatic Oggl (again with the names) I'm upgrading soon, but I haven't had the chance to try this yet. There are also a few other apps that are supposed to do the same thing, but most of them are for WP8, so I haven't had the chance to try them yet. Personally, I'm just glad I can use Instagram now, however buggy it may be.

I have this iPhone 4 that I don't use, and I remember from something I read (probably an official Mozilla forum) about the iPhone being supported but I can't find the page again. I was wondering if anyone knew about a port of Firefox OS for the iPhone 4?
Sent from my LG-LS980 using XDA Free mobile app
I really don't see how it would be possible to run Firefox os on an I phone because i believe is based in Linux and would require a Linux kernel. I'm pretty sure that iOS devices are not based in Linux so you would need a new motherboard compatible with the I phone hardware that ran android

I think there' s no possibilty to see firefox on iPhone!
It makes sense that it wouldn't work, but I thought iOS was UNIX based?
Sent from my LG-LS980 using XDA Free mobile app
I'm really not sure if it is Unix or linux based since I don't really do anything with Firefox os but either way there's no way I would run on an iphone
sent from my nex7
Aside from needing drivers for the hardware (which I imagine isn't completely proprietary to the iOS hardware), FFXOS needs an unlocked bootloader to work.
I'm not entirely sure the bootloader on any iOS device has been successfully replaced yet.
Why dont you sell the iphone and buy a Nexus instead? Fully supported by Mozilla and a Tier 1 device.
it's impossible
