I know that Ubuntu doesn't really have any plans for any devices, but I was wondering, what are the chances we get ubuntu available as a dual boot for our tablet ? Since it's an open tablet that would be good and since it's a pretty strong device it might work no? Anyone know how we would find out about this or be able to request it/donate to the cause?
I think there are already ways to do that, make a search, I've heard that it was possible

i've heard of installing some linux on it, but the ubuntu team wants to sideload ubuntu onto our phones (or tablets) so that when we dock it it will display the ubuntu desktop UI and it would have all our installed apps and messages and such on it running from the phone/tablet

There you go thank me if I helped!

Seeing the development going on I think it might be possible. If someone can get it working we can put Bodhi Linux (bodhilinux.org) on it with its great tablet interface.

Buddy wait for sometime for other's to respond.
your post was on weekend.
Regarding Debian / Ubuntu / BT / Bodhi is concerned,
I am trying to do something missing one critical component i.e. KF.
as soon as i get my hands on it, will help you all in doing the bootup (atleast chroot)
in the mean time what exactly do you mean when you say ( its great tablet interface.)
Look on their website. www.bodhilinux.com/gallerysystem.php#6

Ooh I use E17 on my netbook
I would love to see it on my tablet
Hello playmobot, i try the article you provided the link, but it does not work on my Kindle Fire ...
The link should just bring up a picture of what Bodhi Linux's tablet interface looks like.
I would love Ubuntu on my kindle. That would change everything (again)

for Ubuntu http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1028464
try these scripts marked as x10i only but they should work seemlessly on any android device.
for backtrack also you can refer
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074169 (BT checked and found to be working atleast by one kindle owner.)
I must admit as much as I do not like the Unity interface that Ubuntu has moved to on my desktop or laptop it does look like it would be amazing on a tablet.
I am sure this is what they had in mind with it when they designed it.
I will wait for the future after phones start doing the whole dual boot Android and Ubuntu and go to Ubuntu when you dock them.
I am sure this will make running Ubuntu on phones/tablets a lot more common, but only time will tell.
I heard that Canniocal is working on a version of Ubuntu for tablets. But its stand alone for OEMs so it may take some time to get it working on an android device

Curious as to how hard it would be to get XBMC running on Android or a Ubuntu build on our TF101s or something of that nature.
From what I understand for Android it needs a rom built from the ground up to make XBMC work with it. I know its possible to run Ubuntu on our TFs, and XBMC is available in an Ubuntu build, so in theory we should be able to get this going I would think.
I'm a noob, not a dev or anyone remotely capable of pulling this off. I'm just someone who sees the amazing potential of XBMC and android devices.
Well that isn't going to happen, or you're willing to pay for it.
This is an good alternative :

I currently have Backtrack 5 running, I'm trying another build of it...just waiting for adb to finish pushing the files.

Not at all!
There are several methods available, I used this:
Check out "Backtrack Installer Free" - http://bit.ly/KCR9N9
This method requires 3 - 4 gigs of space on the SD card directions are straight forward.
Once started it will ask you for the desired screen resolution. I found 1280x745 to be the best fit.
That way BT fits on the screen with no need to scroll its desktop to see top and bottom dock bars.
If you go directly to the BT website you can download another image of BT that seems to be only a gig!
You have to select the arm version, gnome, and img file to get it.
But it is designed to work with the Xoom and needs tweaks to run.
I'm still working on getting this version to boot.....when I have time....

If you install a hide bar app like gesture control you can run it at the full 1280x800

True, but I like having my bar at the bottom. Its my own personal tweak
I'm going to hack the script so I don't even have to enter a resolution.

BT seems very interesting but what does it have to do with XMBC? Could it be run on that?

Well, from the original post:
"Curious as to how hard it would be to get XBMC running on Android or a Ubuntu build on our TF101s or something of that nature."
Backtrack is based off Ubuntu, its running on the TF101. So my response was more on the lines of providing the "something of that nature" option to be explored.

XBMC would need to be compiled for the ARM architecture.

I was just about to post that, I'm so stoked to see how it turns out!
Here's the Amazon-provided Kindle Fire HD drivers. This is for anyone having problems finding them. It helped me at least sideload a few apps on this Fire HD. I'm not sure if you can find them anywhere other than using the Android SDK Manager. I figured I'd just make it easier for those who don't have the traditional SDK setup.
You can turn on ADB in Settings>Security>Enable ADB
Attached is the installer from the Amazon repository found using these instructions.

Now we just need to find a way to root the damn thing.
This is true.
I'm no developer so all I can do is try methods that already exist. I'd rather not jump off of any cliffs with this HD yet until I can fix my screw-ups.

I was thinking the same thing, but dont want to brick it. I just got flash, you tube, Dolphin, and Netflix working perfect. I love the screen on this thing. Only one thing left to make it perfect. Rooting, then full gapps!!!
Thank you. Another alternative is to load apks to box.com and install from there.

We have a existing ADB thread.
I have a Nexus 7, and I want to do video tutorials to show other people how to do certain things on the Nexus 7. I don't want to root, and I've tried doing the ADB/[email protected] thing on a Windows XP computer, then plugging my Nexus in. On the devices list, nothing shows up. Is there a better tutorial out there, or a better way to record screen? I'd really appreciate help. Thanks!
ATM screencast in the android market doesn't support the nexus line yet. If you have a digital camera you can use that. Your smart phone will work too.

Just found a solution
This isn't perfect, but it's the best thing I've found so far:
I can't post a link because I'm new here as a member, but search the Play store for MirrorOP Sender.
It's called MirrorOP Sender, and it pushes a video feed of the screen. Get MirrorOP Receiver for Windows or another android device and you can get the video feed there, and control the device from it. You could do a "proxy screen caster", perhaps, but not a direct one.
There are some apps int the market but none of them works on Tegra2 or Tegra3...
You can still give a try...

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
sent from my nex7
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
