Hii guys..
I just wanna ask ya guys, do u think the motorola xoom can be set up to drive a dual boot with win 7, when the OS is going to be optimize to tablet...?
or have i just killed my self with this thread???
i am just asking, because i am going get a xoom soon, and for my studies i need some of the MS software too.. therefore...
bless
short answer.... no
Why not? The HD2 can dual boot android and WP7, and the google cr48 is hackable to boot windows and ubuntu.

Windows just announced recently their vague plans to get Windows running on ARM processors (what runs in the Xoom and most mobile devices) with no real roadmap or idea of when this will happen (it was really just a statement that they're working on it). By the time that there is a tablet and capacitive touch optimized ARM-running version of Windows ready and shipping, I think the Xoom will be very old news. And that's only the start of trying to get this thing to dual boot this fictional OS, there's the whole deal of actually getting the Xoom to load another OS first (it just came out today!)
I don't think it will be too terribly long before someone dual boots another OS on the Xoom (there are Ubuntu ports running on some phones), but I don't think it will be windows for a long long time.
Maybe you should pickup a laptop for your schoolwork lol.
Ok, but how about some ARM distro of Linux? Maemo or something?

Seeing as android already is a distro of Linux, I would have to say yes. Some have gotten Ubuntu to work (barely) as a chroot.

I saw one guy running it and accessing through VNC, but that's unusable. So if it's running...how would one access it "normally" ? A different bootloader or configuration on the bootloader? Would it be "switchable" after boot? I'm familiar with Linux systems, but I'm just not familiar with how these devices boot and how their bootloaders work. Grub is really the only bootloader I know anything about =)
Anyone know if it is possible to get debian rolling on the home version of the 7" tablet? I know it is not supported by the SDE but I was hoping someone had hacked it up... I just picked one up off of w00t for cheap this morning

The Archos 70 Home Tablet don't have the SDElike the Internet Tablet Have, so there's no easy way to install Debian. But maybe if you look at some place about the Rockhip SoC that is inside you'll find something interesting. Sorry :s

That's the Gen7, right? Here you go:
http://dev.openaos.org/wiki/SettingUpMultiRootGen7
I don't know about the actual debian image, but this should let you multi-boot.
Nop, the 7HT is not Gen7, it's out of gen, the "GenX" tabs are with Texas Instrument SOC.
The 7HT is based on a RockChip SOC
Haha,
<,< been thinking this for a while now, but it would be epic if we had something that was able to boot up the webtop only. When we wanted if even possible I remember a while back there where some devices that were able to boot into a part of the phone. Such as dual boot via something like haret... XD being that we had the right kernel. >,> I mean come on using the webtop with the full specs instead of the 800mb toy ram allocated to it, and without the build up of the android running X3 would be insta shotgun to any net-books face. XP
Okay Venting Over x.x Had to say it
Note: I already know that the current webtop is dependent on the android parred os for many functions X3

Maybe I don't understand webtop too much, probably because I don't use it, but what does it have that maybe something like a Chromebook doesn't? Other than being able to access your phone but it seems you want to bypass that as well??
I'm not trying to give you a hard time either, I'm genuinely curious of this idea.
I thought this is already done? I could be wrong. May e its webtop on the phone itself. Anyways, first things first. Hdmi mirroring in landscape.
I voided my warranty and your mum.
Can I use my vibrant as a flash drive substitute to install Ubuntu on my PC? I currently lost my flash drive so yeah. Also I'm fully aware that It would mean that would have to wipe my SD card.
Nobody knows?
Well, you can try, anyway. It is really a question of whether your BIOS will accept the phone as a bootable device.
Another option: when I got a micro-sd card, it came with a little USB stick with a slot I can stick the card in to turn it into a thumb drive.
Hmm I'll check if it does but any people know if it does for sure?
Sounds like maybe you get to be the one to find out. Good luck.
Ight thanks And it seems like the forums are dying here lol
Maybe just the Vibrant forums. It's not a new phone, and never was the best. But it's not so bad, people will be using them for a while yet before they get turned into flash drives, mp3 players or wifi gadgets.
I've been here for a long time lol I know.
I've decided I hate Ubuntu. I recently tried Mint LMDE (Debian based, as is Ubuntu), and was impressed. Mint has Ubuntu-based versions also.
I'm just experimenting on a machine with 256mb of ram lol
Even a Vibrant has more than that.
It might be too old to run Ubuntu, but maybe Debian or Damn Small Linux or similar would work.
Also, a machine that old might not boot from USB at all. If it does, it will probably require zipdisk geometry.
Well I'm getting some disks tomorrow. I'm Aldo upgrading the ram by 512mb more. It has a 2.6ghz celeron so it should be good. And the vibrant is really old now, especial since this phone has tight ram...
With even half a gig of ram you should be able to run any Linux. The problem is the desktop. Try LXDE instead of Gnome or KDE.
Does anyone know whether it will be possible to install the new Ubuntu Phone on the HTC HD2?

I think it's very possible, it is open source. I saw in one video that they're hoping or are willing to help developers port it to other phones.
My hd2 is ready for this.
I am a lil excited about this, particularly if we will have the option to boot into desktop by docking. Considering that the Galaxy Nexus is being used as the demo phone, I'm imagining that our lil HD2 will be capable (not saying they have identical specs, but clearly ubunto are going to demo it well above the min requirements)

They mentioned somewhere they wanted to have Ubuntu running not only across devices but on budget grade hardware within a device type as well. The HD2 still performs well relative to budget phones so I dont anticipate there will be any problems with the reqs. Can't wait till someone manages to get their hands on and port this!
EDIT: Actually wait, pulled from the Ubuntu site, there will be 2 versions:
Entry level (no desktop convergence)
1ghz cortex A9
512-1gb ram
4-8gb emmc + sd
High end (desktop convergence)
Quad core A9/Intel Atom
1gb ram
32gb emmc + sd
I'm sure the talented devs here will be able to manage something to get the high end onto the HD2, looks kind of overspec'd to me

Actually no, the high end phones running Ubuntu will also have a dock which will provide full desktop functionality (mouse, keyboard and
monitor). This is because the mobile version of Ubuntu will run on two cores, and the full Ubuntu desktop will run on the other two cores.
According to the requirements, the HD2 will be able to run Ubuntu Phone itself, though.
Hope this clears things up
AW: Ubuntu Phone for the HTC HD2
Any news? How could we get a dev going for this?

I'm eagerly awaiting news on this as well!
I'd love to see Ubuntu running on the HD2. Is there anything this phone can't do? :laugh:
Yeah, I'm waiting for this too. I was able to launch GIMP using Debian on my HD2, so I'm very excited about getting usable Ubuntu:fingers-crossed:
Its very interesting for me too!:laugh:
It is available now for Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4!!!
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Install?action=show&redirect=TouchInstallProcess
We need some developers here:fingers-crossed:
I'm ready to test it on my HD2.
Believe the code in question is here. But don't think its the sorta thing that's portable. Anyone try it as it is? Can't spot in on first glance but I take it that the build model is taken from the device at some point, I guess if we can spoof that and see how far it boots.
Installed it on my gnexus today. It's nice but its just a preview . Almost nothing worked right. But it did get me excited!! Can't wait for the real deal now!
Canonical ask who has experience to help them to port Ubuntu Touch to new devices. Here's the link http://developer.ubuntu.com/2013/02/taking-ubuntu-touch-to-new-levels/
Ill be tackling this once I can get the source downloaded, so many people are trying to get it that its crashing their repo, and since its ~12gigs, it might take a little while lol
I've token the time to extract the Ubuntu Touch Nexus 4 Dev Preview core system and put it into a ext4 Image to make easier for people to see exactly what's installed and be able to configure it without having to fully install it.
You can find the Operating System Image here - www.ZenfulApps.com

Hi z3nful, I have been trying on and off all day to DL the image with varying degrees of success. The zip seems to have downloaded successfully but is only around 100mb (ranging from 79 to 130)(tried from chrome on pc and linux, and firefox). Any chance of a mirror? Thanks
Thats odd, it downloaded good on my phone, Linux, and XP. here's a direct link to it that's not run through the file manager on the site, should work fine that way (still working out some bugs lol)
UbuntuTouch-DevPreview-Mako.ext4.zip

Thanks, that link worked first time
Ok I have extracted the image to sd on fat32 renamed it UbuntuTouch.ext4.img and put it in linux-files/system
The linload app manages to mount the image, but when i try to start vnc, i get
"bash: vncserver: command not found" in terminal after some other stuff, leaving me at the prompt.
I have tried to connect using other vnc viewers but no joy yet.
I have partitioned my 32gb card with 16gb fat32, 10gb ext4, 4gb ext4(empty) and 256mb linux swap. And ideally would like to use the 3rd partition for the image. Do i just put the UbuntuTouch.ext4.img file there and point to it with linload?
Thanks again
Edit; using tytung jb 1.3a on nativeSD
The Touch preview doesn't have vnc install when you first download it, and from what I've seen looking around in it, there isn't a command to start up unity.
One thing you can try is to install vncserver, then see if you can get it to load an "ubuntu-session" from the xstartup file. I'm not sure if that will work though :/
I've almost got the source finished downloading, once thats done ill be trying for a working kernel to see if I can get this setup as its own rom

I will play around a bit more, but not sure how that works.
No worries though, as is preview.
Best of luck with it:fingers-crossed:
