Install Ubuntu on your device — Now???

Is it just me, or does this Ubuntu release seem a lot like the Firefox Mobile project? How?
Well it seems that Canonical is trying to get mobile phone companies to actually adopt this OS rather than letting consumers install it on their devices, like what happens with Ubuntu Desktop OS.
Unless Canonical makes a really easy, simple way to install this on Android, I feel that this project will go the way of the dodo.
Unless of course, some awesome developers turn this into a custom ROM

It's going to be shown at CES (1/8-11/12), with the gnexus image being released soon. They've already said they want community members (it is open source after all) to help porting it to devices.

Now maybe a good time to get my feet wet with some of this fun stuff...the new Ubuntu and an extra One X floating around in my junk drawer.

Ubuntu for SmartPhones
I think its possible to port this in to most of the android phones after seeing the Ubuntu founder Mark Shuttleworth gives the Ubuntu phone OS demo on a GalaxyNexus which is a mainstream Android phone.

It is possible that later a developper changes it so it can be put on your phone but you will need to wait for that

Being sick of Google's and Qualcomm's disenfranchising my ARMv6 device, I am eager to try this baby. This is not an install over Android but a new OS but also Linux. I think that a Dalvik for this, such as the one for Sailfish/Meego, would be necessary for anyone to get into it. No one is going to install it in place of IOS or Windows. So our investment in the Android "ecosystem" would need protecting.
Android is opensource except for various "prebuilt" jni libraries. These are becoming increasing fatal exceptions.
So a complete opensource OS that one can compile for one's architecture would be most welcome. May Ubuntu will be this.
Minimally, the launcher (really, does anyone care what OS is under the hood?), would be a worthy port in itself!

I'm willing to port onto my HTC inc s with some help from the community.
Dead cookies leave no trails...

Same here for my LG P500 (but this phone is short on RAM for this, I am afraid).
Newer Linux Kernels should facilitate this since the Android mods have been incorporated and ARM devices explicitly supported.

Dual core processor with 1.2Ghz or 1Ghz (can't quite remember which), and at least 512MBs or RAM.

If they will port ubuntu (ROM) to all devices, that will be great! :fingers-crossed:

Compatible phones

Can any one tell ,which phones are compatible in xperia 2011 line.?
Sent from my SK17i using xda app-developers app

I think only phones with novathor chipsets are compatible
Sent from my jb atrix 2

Probably no phone is yet compatible, because there are no ROMs here. After the release of Jolla phone people will probably start porting this OS to other phones.

as far as i know the only compatible phone is the n950 at the moment.

Stop asking about that!
Sailfish compatible device == NEMO compatible device.
All devices who already can run NEMO, can run Sailfish.

Hi,
As a required prerequisite, CM 10.1 has to be ported over the device, because Ubuntu is built on top of it. As of now there are several aspects that need further work, you can check out OliverG96's device tree on github and give it a try. Most pressing would be sound and calls/sms/data, iirc

Hi there, i have been reading a bit about the new Ubuntu touch OS, and seems quite interesting. I just have one question, is Ubuntu for android the same as Ubuntu touch?
And will running ubuntu on the phone solve the sound lag issues found in most android game emulators?
Thanks in advance.

will s3 mini i8190 take ubuntu os
Because i do not understand , is it possible that s3 mini take the new operating system ubuntu os ? I really want to buy that phone , but i also search a phone that will take ubuntu os. Thank you

Well as it states we have the correct hardware requirements to run Ubuntu OS but we need a good developer to port it to our device.

Ubuntu is for pc but the team is making one for mobile devices called Ubuntu Touch

I'm talking about the Ubuntu touch. I watched in a yt video that it has a Desktop like a computer and you could use programs. Is it true?

We're not talking about a theme but an OS

Just wondering if it would be getting ported to the galaxy ace
Sent from my GT-P3110 using xda premium

there is no porting to be done unless you know how to port the emulator thing from x86 to ARM which is incredibly difficult, at the very least, wait for an ARM based image to be emulated through the SDK, or an ARM based phone to be released with it, but even then it will still be difficult.

please read other threads regarding porting, there are no ports, and there won't be until at the very earliest the first Sailfish phone to come out, which will be announced on the 20th May 2013.

I don't know your phone but there is a solution that is supposed to work on every phone with Android img files available. I haven't tried it yet. Try it on your own risk! I won't be responsible for any bricks! (I recommend searching the internet about that first.) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2651425
I would suggest a phone with good UT support though. Nexus 4 for example. We don't know how long it will be supported though. They might switch to the newer Nexus 5.

it says the note 2 is supprted but only th At&t model # is listed. any ports to sprint? (i'll check as well, but i need 10 posts to ask in developer spots sadly)
---------- Post added at 06:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:28 AM ----------
yeah nvm. found it. it's still non-sprint. but there is a spot on the ubuntu website telling people how to port it, i know very little coding but i'll see if i can make heads or tails of it

Actually, a port was started here. It seems he barely got it up and running, not wanting to do any further optimization until Ubuntu Touch was further along. It appears there hasn't been much developement for quite a while. I hope development returns for the Wave I&II, but I suspect the hardware just won't be up to the task.
