No________
Why would you want to downgrade to WinMo?
just to do it
As far as I know there is no way to dual boot the two.

I believe there's an Ubuntu port that can be dual booted on WinMo.

Erm, so you're going to emulate Windows mobile to emulate ubuntu. Doesn't sound like it will... work decently.
There isn't a way to get Windows Mobile on android; if you wanted windows mobile, you shouldn't of bought a android phone.

I'm pretty sure if someone is committed, they'll find a way

I was replying to someone else. Not sure why you quoted me on that one. I have no intention of ever running WinMo again, it even says so in my sig.
However if someone else wants to emulate WinMo on the hero I see no reason why they shouldn't be allowed to try. A lot of times people do things 'just to see if they'll work'....so lose the attitude.
yeah there isn't really a reason i want to just to see if there is a way and to see how it runs and such
how about throwing windows 98 up on that ***** and breaking out a nice bluetooth mouse and keyboard
after wp7 comes it will.

From what I know, w7 will stripe data across internal storage and sdcard, so you would need another sdcard for android

Running ISOs?

Is it possible to run DVD ISOs within Android? Or am I talking crazy?

Stealing someone's internet... nice.

All I want to do is run Ubuntu without playing with too much of this ROM stuff

I don't know what half of it does and I've had worse case scenarios happen before and I'm just scared lol, My asus is rooted and all .... I just wanna run Ubuntu without getting rid of my stock rom or whatever
You prettymuch have to have an nvflashable sbk1 tf101 to dual boot Ubuntu, I believe.

Which you can't with the serials b70 and after due to no nvflash.
that is correct you need sbk1(B70 or lower) to install emmc ubuntu although if you want you can always run it in a virtual machine using terminal and a vnc viewer

Is there a way of running a virtual machine on my transformer? I think I've seen something like this done with Backtrack 5 on a Xoom, but I wasn't aware of any virtualization software available for Android..
So you bought an Android tablet to run Ubuntu...
Why didn't you buy a PC?

Because of the many advantages of ARM chipsets? More efficient power consumption, less heat dissipation, etc.
You could get a net book with a decent battery, an extra gig of ram and whack ubuntu on that.
The more recent atom chips or even amd's are great for that sort of thing.
Could always put a small ssd in it too.
What sort of battery life do you expect from a TF101 with ubuntu?
Asus has promised to release a tool to unlock the Transformer bootloader (at the price of voiding your warranty). When (if?) they release it, you should be able to install Ubuntu on the newer Transformers.

Yes , but if I do this will it save files i've put on the ubuntu etc oh and btw just a quick little off topic question, i rooted my tf101 with razorckal, will i still recieve the ota update for ics?

Yes, you will get the OTA update (whichi will remove root, if you just apply it)
BTW, I could imagine creating CWM image for ARM Ubuntu, but as far as I know, nobody did that yet, so it would be a DIY job

Some b70's can some b70's can't so it is generally said that b70's are incompatible just so that people with b70 sbk2's dont complain about things saying that something is compatable with b70 and lower
makes things easier on the devs

That makes more sense. Your OP made it sound like you specifically bought it just to run Ubuntu and didn't care about Android.
hahah yeah sorry :/ it was three am hahaha, but yeah,is there a super simple way to run ubuntu , then go back to my normal android after
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1364095
if your tf has sbk_v1. takes 20mins with really just 1 click ^^
after installing in dualboot, you can switch from android to ubuntu and back as you wish...

[Q] Anyone ported nst to andriod emulator?

I was wondering if anyone has gotten NST ported to the android emulator yet, and if so, how? The main reason for this is to help programming, modding, and all around layout.
I have ran across info for the nook, but after applying it to the nst, the emulator would not boot completely.
I once tried doing that. It got to the registration screen and went, PHUT!...
But it is possible.

If you could get it to skip OOBE maybe that could be a way to get more people devving on the NST without having to have them have a NST
Not sure this is possible. Some of the preinstalled apks have native libraries installed and they probably won't run on the qemu emulated cpu which if I remember correctly is a armv5 based one.
In Reader.apk for example you'll find "lib/armeabi/libbndeviceinfo.so" which, hopefully tbh, is compiled for an armv7.

Would be nice if you could share that setup with us as there are noone else that I know of that have succeeded in getting so far.
I just modified Androidx86.

Right!
I was about to ask same question!
There is tuto for old nook – you can google it up.
NC emu you can get with NC SDK.
And there is nothing about NST emu...

Is it possible for the nexus player to run Ubuntu 14.10 on it only? Instead of android?

u may be able to shoehorn ubuntu onto it, but my question is why?

Because you could then get a fully-functional, low-cost Linux computer for the cost of Nexus Player hardware ($49).

doing a chroot would be a better idea, then u won't have to deal with possible driver problems and u can still use Android like philhachey suggested

honestly i used the crouton script, for the nexus player u WILL have to use an app to do it for u, to get sound, x11, and everything else to play nicely. im sure it could be done manually but i can imagine that would be a headache
EDIT: oh, for the usb part i did a symlink for the chroot folder
