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 =)
Hey all!
I'm just curious. I wanna know if it's possible to run Ubuntu (or any other GNU/Linux distribution) on our little G3 (Guess 256M ram is enough).
Greeting
Like clarkkov said, there is not mouch practicality in having it on phones (except for geekasms), though I could see the potential usefulness on tablets, especially in a dual boot state. I find it kinda odd that no manufacturer is venturing into this, I think a dual boot android/ubuntu tablet would sell big time
clarkkov said:
It is possible to run a Linux distro on any Android phone. SG3 is already running a Linux kernel, the problem is a specific linux distro needs to be ported, specifically the GUI. The desktop GUI is meant to work on different hardware, so it needs to be tweaked to work on SG3 hardware. Another problem is the installer, it is also engineered for desktop or laptop PCs and installation from DVD or USB, not for mobile platforms and ROM flashing.

Yeah, see your point there. I was thinking that maybe, if we were able to run ubuntu on our G3, we would be able to use Eclipse and code on it (imagine how cool would that be! xD). But now that you point out the size of the screen (I didn't think it through XD).

Android is basically a Linux distro - Linux kernel with Android GUI instead of Gnome/Unity/KDE/XFCE etc. GUIs.
I personally would see this as a step backwards, because Android was specifically engineered to be a phone friendly Linux distro, Google could slap Gnome onto a phone, but it would be ridiculous.
You can install Terminal and Root Explorer from Android market and have fun just like in Ubuntu.
And one more fun fact, there is Windows 95 ported to SG3 if you wan't to geek out, look for it in the black markets.

debian is really different too ubuntu. ubuntu is more ummm... userfriendly? i guess, debian is for networking freaks i dont think i got it wrong
by the way, the new version of ubuntu (cant remember if its 10.4 or 11.4, or something like that) takes up about 450MB just for the OS (gnome powered) and more for apps, obviously. we would have to use a massive swap partition, half a gig or more to be able to boot it... i dont like that idea. i can smell several sd cards burning already from it

I just watched a video on Ubuntu where the head of Canonical showed a Gnex running official Ubuntu (which I think they'll discuss at CES), but you think the N7 will get it?
The nexus 7 is the device which has ubuntu even as first...
Getting ubuntu to run on a nexus 7 is already done by canonical and you can run it yourself too: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Nexus7
Are you joking? There is already a official and a dualboot option for the nexus 7!

Yes, I think it'll come out for the Nexus 7. I'm going to try it but the only way I'd keep it as a daily driver is a noticeable increase in battery life.

countdown was for "ubuntu phone" .
But there is already full blown ubuntu for your nexus.
If you want only UI of ubuntu for phones, then you have to wait.
If you are intrested in Linux/Ubuntu OS itself, then it is already here. Just without phone friendly User Interface.
It is basically PC port. But more it is the same Ubuntu that runs on PC-s.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Nexus7
So I've Been a Big fan of Ubuntu for a while and I was thrilled to see that they will be releasing a phone OS sometime hopefully soon. Since I have the laptop dock I have always wanted to try to put full ubuntu on it. However that never fully worked on and had to be done on a blur based rom. I love the new JB rom I have on my phone as It performs well. But at the end of the video 21:00 Mark Shuttleworth, the Founder of Ubuntu stated that Ubuntu Phone runs on ARM based chips and Android Kenerals and Drivers.
I'm just wondering Who else would love to see this run and be compatible on the atrix AND the dock. If we still have a decent amount of developers I'm sure this is more than possible.
Heres the Link for the video:
http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/phone
Just putting the idea out there, but if there are any developers capable of this I'd be more than happy to support.
phone spesification is enough for run and if canonical is behind this i think its possible
I was about to post this as a new thread but when I saw this thread I decided to post it in here.
Happy New Year!
According to the video below Ubuntu for Phones will be compatible with any Android designed-hardware. If I understood it correctly, Atrix last chance is with Ubuntu for Phones for sure.
http://www.androidcentral.com/canonical-announces-its-ubuntu-smartphone-os
I have already said that once before that one reason the OEMs lock the bootloader of their phones is to prevent other platforms to be installed to shorten the life of the devices.
Millions of capable Android devices have already been abandoned due to lack of software support which I blame Google directly to allow the implementation of Wild Wild West on Android platform. The only loser in Android world is and will always be the consumers. Ubuntu for Phones will be the left jab that Google didn't see coming. I personally looking forward to see what Ubuntu for Phones can bring this year.
Update: it seems Ubuntu for Phones will not be available until 2014
Seems BBC covered the story
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-20891868
and in the article says that it will be released for the samsung galaxy nexus. porting from that to the Atrix may be hard, but it should be like CyanogenMod a little. So thats a little boost to say the least.
I also emailed canonical and showed interest in helping with the project especially with the lapdock capabilities, so ill let you guys know what I get back from them, and If its any useful Ill be sure to forward it to every developer possible.
Yes and simply
Yes it's possible for our Atrix, jus read that :
"Easier hardware enablement
We have teams based in Taipei, Shanghai, London, Beijing and Boston to engage with your engineering and factory operations – and their sole focus is to deliver a crisp Ubuntu experience on your device.
Ubuntu has already been adapted to run on chipsets using the ARM and Intel x86 architectures relevant for mobile devices, with the core system based around a typical Android Board Support Package (BSP). So chipset vendors and hardware manufacturers do not need to invest in or maintain new hardware support packages for Ubuntu on smartphones. In short, if you already make handsets that run Android, the work needed to adopt Ubuntu will be trivial."
So alright we don't MAKE handsets that runs android but we have one, we also have the kernel drivers no ? so with that it's like port a cyanogenmod ROM I think. My quote come from canonical web-site (sorry new member so I can"t post outside links ><) so it's a truth information

Yep, we have Ubuntu drivers but we're not sure we will be able to use them. But indeed the project of having Ubuntu running as main OS on the Atrix is realistic as we have all the material (HW and SW) required for this, if our devs know how to use them, but I think a whole team would be required for a project this big. It's not just a port of Cyanogen, it's not about taking a kernel and some drivers and snap them with a more recent UI and newer apps. We only got a kernel and an X server, it's far enough but the thing is that this X server was published to run on dev platforms. But also know it can be used on an Atrix, but how to integrate it with a whole new platform ? It will require time mostly. I think. And devs. But we don't have many devs so we only have hope. But maybe the devs on XDA will look more at the Atrix and Webtop.

Actually it's supposed to be available late 2013 - according to lifehacker....
http://lifehacker.com/5972559/the-ubuntu-mobile-os-introduced-today-coming-to-phones-in-2014
The Ubuntu Phones that ship with the OS will most likely be available in 2013 in the UK, and will clear american shores in Hopefully late 2013, but most likely will arrive around early 2014.
The OS itself will most likely clear for deployment sometime soon for the samsung galaxy nexus, as for a universal build I'm not sure If/when that will be available, so most likely we will have to see if one can be constructed for the atrix.
As far as the lack of developers, I fell that any and all developers that are still in possession of an operational atrix will want to test this, especially on a phone that isnt their daily driver and has capabilities of bringing back a strong webtop front.
absolutely possible
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzc0uMXGFBY
i like the ubuntu webtop, its run smooth and fast :good:
I think the atrix should be able to run it. just not mine unless the new bootloader gets figured out
Well I really think that Ubuntu can run on the Atrix, because they share the same idea, which is killed by Google: The webtop.
We just plug the phone into a dock, connect it to a monitor and that's it. Besides, the original webtop is just a big browser without many supported applications.
Several webtop-mods have shown that it is possible to run a full Debian or Ubuntu Linux on the phone.
And having one OS for mutliple devices is the stratagy that Microsoft now tries with Windows 8 on Tablets. But other than Windows, Ubuntu really got the chance to do it right.
Possible to run, but...
Well, I'm sure, it won't be a real problem to run the Ubuntu phone OS on Atrix 4g, IMHO, I'm really suprised, they used Atrix 2 and his adventages in testing. It's but I'm sure, HW would not work on 100%. Everyone knows, what is a problem with HWA drivers fot ICS+ even on android. Fingerprint drivers will be problem too... the best roms are (at least in my opinion) GB ones. This is the "tax" we pay for extraordinary HW in Atrix 4G.
Another problem in optimalization is the date of release (futher in future...who knows, how many devs will stay..)
This OS already has its own section on xda and it hasn't even been released yet lol anyways u can share your thoughts on Ubuntu for phone here

Thank you very much for your interest towards Ubuntu on smartphones. We have received an incredible response and have been overwhelmed with the general positive feedback! Responses both from the general public and the industry have been far greater that we expected.
In order to make Ubuntu a truly fantastic smartphone experience we will be initially working with manufacturers who will build Ubuntu into their hardware. We anticipate market availability of Ubuntu on smartphones towards the end of 2013.
To reach this goal, and offer a great experience for future consumers, our first priority will be to respond to industry inquiries from manufacturers/OEMs, silicon partners, developers and mobile operators. If you are a potential industry partner, we’d like to learn more about you. Please register your interest through our web form: http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/phone/contact-us
If you are a mobile apps developer, and want to learn how you can help bring Ubuntu to the phone, you can also find more information on:

Hello people.
Searching the past week about this topic, I found the "How to upload" Ubuntu for phones on Tegra Devices like our Atrix.
Here you could find some info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/TEGRA/AC100
This will help un too: http://ac100.grandou.net/nvflash#debian_ubuntu_package
https://developer.nvidia.com/linux-tegra
And here, the Ubuntu for phones. http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/quantal/release/
They recommend the Lubuntu 12:10 because it supposedly run from the box. I did not try this yet until I have all the tools(software & knowledge) ready...
It could be nice to have to opportunity to flash it like any ROM, but, sometimes I like the "hard" way in order to learn and develop myself.
Well guys, BON APPETITE !!!!!
While it's possible from a technical standpoint, I just don't see the developer interest which is a shame really, since the device's only weakness is the lack of updates.

This option to install ubuntu is impossible. U would risk to delete/brick partitions or nands. We need a IMG file with the filestructure and flash it with the fastboot/CWM. I can mount ubuntu 11.04 but the problem is no UI loading. Only usable is the terminal.

No is not impossible. You partition an SD card load it up with kernel and system and use a dual boot solution to boot into the kernel on SD card. Of course some minor changes needed on the kernel. But not impossible.
also porting cyanogenmod is not as simple as grabbing a few drivers and adding a few kernel bits. It is a monumental task of trial and error with hundreds of lines of code to patch and sometimes full libraries have to be re written. Shoot the radio layer on the atrix was a quick hack job on cm for atrix.
Porting Ubuntu is tho should be quite easy. And maybe could even one day live in that juicy 750mb web top partition.

Thx for help. I'm setting now Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on my spare laptop (Acer TimelineX 3820TG) with needed build environments.
I have no guarantees that anything what I'm trying will work, but I really hope that I can avoid bricking my gt-6800 and get the cm10.1 kernel to work with the device. After that it should be quite straight forward to get the build up and running in some shape.
Ok, now I have the environment set-up, but there are no kernel confs available. So it seems that I have to either found them somewhere or create a new one and then try to figure it out. It seems that Iocerras kernel is a bit old (3.0.xx series). We'll, as soon as I have something to show, I'll put the information available in the development section on this forum and release the first version of the platform. But currently the image build is on hold because I need to concentrate my daily work.
Will the cm10.1 not work?

There is no build for gt-p6800 available in CM10.1 with kernel sources. I'm still investigating where I might find the needed sources so that I can compile the kernel and start upgrading it towards 3.5.xx release.

Heh, anyway I think I'm getting quite close to on finishing the first ever build for ubuntu-touch for gt-p6800...
I had to create two new repositories because the kernel and device configuration that is available is so messed up. I hope I do not have many legacy kernel problems anymore when I'm making the first build here.
Are there any gt-p6800 dev's around still or has the ship sailed already from this device. I really like it because its premium build quality, but I hate it if there is no one else interested on the device anymore
YEAH, first build done.
If someone has a good idea where to dump the image for others to test, please notify me in this thread or PM me.

I use Ubuntu as my desktop OS at home. Canonical is looking to make your Ubuntu phone your only device. Android is a great mobile platform but is not a desktop platform. Ubuntu has a desktop platform and a tv platform both sitting on top of a common Linux kernel. If Ubuntu phone works as promised you'll have all three platforms in a single unified device depending on what the device is connected to. Standalone it is a phone/phablet/tablet depending on the device. Attach it to a tv and it is a media centre. Dock it to a keyboard, mouse and monitor it becomes a full desktop. Each with their own interface optimised for that use case rather than trying to make one interface that sort of works for all. If Canonical pulls this off it will be a winner.
