The SDK has been released, will we see this on the SGS2 soon?
If not by Samsung by the rom gurus?

Nope. It's for tablets only, and I doubt anyone can manage to port it to our device.

Ahh ok, thanks, shame though
3.0 was ported to HD2, so it's possible.

You mean "could be bothered" to port it. I'm sure that someone _could_, but an OS designed for a tablet on a 4.3" screen would be a bit average.
Wait for the Cyanogen guys to port IceCream Sandwich (Android 4.0?) if/when it turns up. By that time Samsung will have dropped the SGS2 like last weeks spam sandwich and will be pushing the SGS3 instead.
Of course, that won't be until around Christmas sometime I'd be guessing.
God dammit, this is about the 3rd topic on the same thing. SDK does not equal the whole os, google have only put out the source for the gpl bits and a lot of android is apache.
And a 3.0 port wouldn't make much sense on a 4.3inch screen

this is the exact reason why Google hasn't made honeycomb open sourced.
Honeycomb is only meant for tablets. Until people learn to accept that it will remain closed. We've already seen android ruined by sub-par OEMs putting android on their **** hardware.
I hope not, honeycomb looks so messy at the moment
There really is no point putting honeycomb on a phone, the optimisations are mainly just for larger screens. If there is something nice in there it normally gets ripped out and cooked into a ROM or app anyway, its just a waste of time doing a full port IMHO.

Yeah i remember the thread in question,BUT it was practically useless most functions were not working on the phone.
Then i hope a dev could make a really good honeycomb theme in that case

Just gotta wait about 2~4 months for ice cream sandwich to release and then a bit longer for update. But it's gonna be awesome

If you been to the site lately you might have noticed the countdown clock, well it hit zero about 45 min ago. And Engadget just posted this
www.engadget.com/2013/01/02/ubuntu-for-smartphones/ which I think is pretty cool. Hope to see it action soon.
if you want to see the phone its about 6 min in the video.

And if Ubuntu is smart they will not allow carries to add their custom flair to it. Even though it is open source. It would get rid of the hectic of waiting for updates. If carries really want to have custom skin. Make it like ADW launcher where you can add it if you want it.

Hmm...good point. From what the guy said in the the video, it seems that the updates would be pushed straight to the device just like Ubuntu Desktop. Otherwise, he pretty much lied and it's not just like the desktop version with "frequent updates."

Canonical cannot "make" carriers do anything. The kernel and the majority of the OS will be licenced under apache. And thus open source. Networks will be free to add whatever UI tweeks the like.

Is there by any chance we will get to ever see the Firefox OS on the kindle fire? Firefox OS will be released on Mid-2013 and is there by any chance will a developer will work on this OS? It would Bree awesome if we get this ported to the kindle fire, after all it is made to run on ARM processors.

Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire using xda app-developers app
I was looking into it and it doesn't look hat to build it for the kindle at all. Once I he a new computer next week ill try it out. (Testers?)
And it doesn't need nearly as much power of Ubuntu. It can function on a lot less, it's made for new low end devices.
That would be very cool to see run on the kindle. Would make me thing about getting one for my self
It would be very nice to see it run, it sucks that im not good at editing kernels though

Don't be so sure about that. It has recently been discovered that Ubuntu uses CM10 as it's base for Android devices. Hashcode's kernel has made this device much faster and much more capable than it was ever intended to be so it's not too hard to imagine, after the bugs are ironed out for the official full release, that it could be ported to the Kindle Fire rather easily and without too much of a drop in performance.

Another t thing is of this is a OS for Low-End Devices(-$200), then could this have some Enhancements, I mean the Kindle Fire came from a OS(v.2.3) that was for Low-End devices, so maybe it will run smoothly.
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire using xda app-developers app
Firefox OS is being primarily developed for under developed countries and so for low end devices in mind (so I read). If this is true, I would imagine that it would be screaming fast on a Kindle Fire.
Wouldn't mind playing with it if someone could figure out how to make a ROM for it.
I'm up to see it on the Kindle also. I don't particularly care for the concept of web based apps but if they make stand alone HTML5 software w/o a data connection required, that'd be sweet.
Same here. I been trying to get the Linux on Android app to work and its not work for me. So a Ubuntu on table would be awesome.

Those are previews and they barely work. This is not Otter 2. And Officially you need at least a 1GB of RAM and a bigger processor plus a lot more memory. Its way easier to build on Otter2 but this is Otter

Getting back on topic...
Firefox OS is currently being ported to the Kindle Fire HD7 and from the looks of it, we'll start seeing alpha releases within the next week or so. I'm not sure if there are any plans to bring it to the KF1, but I imagine it wouldn't be that hard to make it happen.
The folk at Ubuntu has announced Ubuntu for Tablets.
The moment this thing is installable on our Tabs mine is getting the treatment.
I just spotted this on Google+, it looks fantastic.
I really hope this gets ported to us!!!!!!
Sent from my Galaxy Jelly Tab 10.1
Can´t wait for this to happen !
I´ve been using ubuntu for years on small netbooks and laptops, if they get it to work properly on our "tabs" then it would become a serious alternative to android ! :good:
This looks SWEET!!!
I'm curious when exactly we're going to get a download option to get this going.
Sent from my merp merp
Maybe after MWC which is the 25th of this month... Check out www.ubuntu.com is where I see that.
I would love to see this on our Tab, but considering the low-end requirements...
I don't mean to be a buzzkill, but this will probably never see the light of day on our tabs. We do have a Desktop Ubuntu ARM port, and a fully working Linux kernel for other OSes but even with everything in front of us, I doubt it will happen.
I think the only way we could get it is if someone takes the source code and probably do some crazy mods to it to get it to it to make it work for our tabs.
I am quite the optimist so here's to hoping!
They will publish a porting guide in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Porting, so there is a lot of hope!

It all looks good and sounds nice, but I don't see it becoming big.
I think Android will evolve together with Chrome OS into a really good OS.
For sure I want to try out ubuntu on my 10.1 tablet, but it will never get a big userbase. (just my oppinion
Looks pretty easy. I will do it today. Finally something interesting besides cm for tablets. Most ROMs are either cm clones or simply not tablet friendly, which is why I haven't worked on much here.

Not really. If the device supports CM 10.1 (which it does), then it supports Ubuntu. Canonical even posted a full guide. Problem is, who's going to do it?
Edit: Okay, I guess we do have someone to do it. So there's hope
Sorry. I've been trying, but it hasn't been syncing. I'll try on my build server when i get a chance. Hopefully by this weekend, I will have a chance. Not sure why the sources won't download locally but my server should have no issue.

Well, one step at a time. First get it to work, then dual boot is the next step.
Finally, it might be possible to run them "together", for example running CM apps in Ubuntu Touch.
I mean by transforming the base Android system into a fully-fledged CM and connect it up to Ubuntu.
Not sure that is feasible yet, but there might be a chance. And it is sure a while down the road.

Really disappointed that it's only a "skin" on top of CM10.1, proper ubuntu is what we need, to actually run linux apps but still, every advancement is positive but I'm not interested in another android port, I like jelly bean as it is, AOSP ftw.

It's not running on top of CM10.1 is running on top of the CM10.1 kernel (and some drivers for the hardware) and I wouldn't say it's fair to call that a "skin". That's like calling every linux distro a linux skin.
true, my frasing is wrong but it doesn't change the fact that it's not capable of running linux apps, it's just another take on android, and on a tablet such as this I'd love to be able to dual-boot into android/linux, let's see where archlinux will take us but with the way things are changing and people upgrading to newer devices this will be left behind as well eventually, and to think that since the first quad core device a year ago today we call the tegra 3 a low-powered chipset compared to the powerhouses coming out, and people still don't have a quad core cpu at their home pcs and laptops, anyway, offtopic, let's see...
as far as I heard from many different people now it is just something to show the skin as main features like wallpaper, rotation and others aren't working yet although they should... Basically I would prefer a dualboot solution with stock ubuntu and android, but just my personal opinion...
