Hello XDA
I know that you are waiting for ports on your favourite devices, however there is none yet, simply because the SDK release comes with an X86 image, while most phones runs on ARM. But some developers started to port the image of the simulator into some X86 based tablets (that are actually computers).
On an Exo PC
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEgdW3KSxkM
On an Acer Iconia tab W500
https://vimeo.com/album/2201203/video/62061963
Right now it is impossible to do a port on most phones and tablets (ARM devices). Don't even ask about a port for the N9. When the ARM image will be released, it will technically be possible to do a port to your favourite phone, assuming that
You have a way to boot on SD card / write on the rootfs of the phone
You have HW adaptation bits (Graphical drivers for Linux are very important)
HW adaptation is hard to find because most of them are for Android and not for pure Linux, so I don't know (yet) how it will be managed.
Cheers
Sailfish OS based on Mer Project which available for long time.
in Sailfish os emulator there is 133 rpm package that come from Jolla, remaining 400 is from Mer
Jolla provide home screen, dialer app, all UI.
There is another shell Nemo Mobile, it`s not so cool but it open and you can already install it on phone
Porting already can be started, all you need is to port Mer core on device and then when Jolla release their phone it will just a metter of installing rpm packages.
There is videos of Nemo Mobile running on Galaxy Nexus, Snowball, RasberryPi, N950, an N9
I think this is a good thread to start off with Lucien, good work.
I've been having some fun with the SDK lately, and am super excited to see the final OS and devices Jolla bring out

Welcome Michael ! Hope that you will make Sailfish rock as well !
Is there a live image that can be found for Sailfish on x86? I have an extra tablet (Samsung Slate, Sandy Bridge) that I have been using to try the emerging touch-based OSes and provide feedback.
https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Nemo/Installing
That has information on how to install Nemo on your device, but Sailfish is different.

Sailfish is very close to nemo actually, but you cannot get a live image right now. You can boot an image on an usb drive easily, however.
Try that Wiki page (that should work rather well) https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Sailfish/Exopc

Photos/videos or it never happened. Regarding legality - so long as you redistribute neither binaries nor source code (which you would have to have in order to port x86/amd64 exclusive code to ARM unless you employ some kind of LLVM black voodoo magic) you should be fine. So yeah, photos/videos, preferably videos, or it never happened. Oh, and please tame down your signature a bit, it takes half the screen on my tablet, no exaggeration.

Wasn't referring to Canonical supporting us... That's kind of why I was hoping devs would see this. Maybe it could be modified for our device after/if we get a proper kernel/drivers and regardless it's pretty interesting even if you don't own the device.

There are drivers for Linux but it would be a huge work from our devs to manage booting on a kernel that supports these drivers.

It's for the tegra 2, but I believe it's either the harmony/ventena board, so it's similar but different from ours.
EDIT: and I know this has been discussed before, but would this http://www.nvidia.com/content/devzone/linux-for-tegra.html assist at all in native port?
From what i learned lately. Android kernel works differently in some aspects than linux. I think we could we could replace safetly any kernel with that from nvidia with ventana support(of course without gsm, gps support). Someone said that android kernel doesn't probe hardware just directly connects to it. On the other hand linux kernel does probe hardware so if anything would be not supported it wouldn't use it, so instead generic drivers would be used (like on x86). Or am i totally wrong?

Hey guys, today was announced the Ubuntu version for tablets! The system looks amazing! Watch the presentation video bellow

Canonical already launched a release for Nexus devices. Do you guys think we could see a Rom soon for our beloved device? What did you think about Ubuntu for tablets?
Look at this link for further information: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/02/...by-canonical-nexus-7-download-coming-thursday
And this one too: http://www.webupd8.org/2013/02/canonical-unveils-new-ubuntu-tablet.html
I just can't stop imagining me having this amazing system without onscreen buttons and docking it, turning it magically into the desktop OS...

Will be interesting to see what comes out of it for out part. The Arch port is being worked on by one dev only, but he has done a pretty darn good job on his own hah. Let's hope this will somehow boost the work of getting a good *nix port to out device!
Well, we could make a petition that they should support TF300
But the first impression seems really good, especially that you get normal ubuntu if you plug in a dock! :good:
I already use Ubuntu on my laptop, it will be WONDERFUL to use it on my TF300T too!!!!:laugh::laugh:

Splitscreen to have like 2 apps active at the same time is awesome! Something I miss on Android since I have a tablet
Guess it'd be fantastic to have ubuntu on the tf300t - but I wouldn't dare to flash it without having nvflash as a "super" backup ^^
Two points to make: A) ubuntu mobile its not the same as ubuntu desktop, its framework is based on qt/qml which isnt used at all on unity/ubuntu desktop so its a completely new project.
this its not necessarely a bad thing as a lot of people loathe unity but probably means also that its a bit raw.
B) what they displayed is just a developer preview, far to be ready for shipping to final users so its a given that only a little selection of hardware its supported at this time.
this said I dont see any reason that people shouldnt start working at hacking it for other platforms, and as tf300 is really similar to n7 it shouldnt be extremely complex.
Canonical just released images for Nexus devices. I added a link to the main thread!

He didn't say he wouldn't ever, just that it wasn't worth his time yet, and it isn't. It's currently a very alpha product, with zero developer support yet. He'd basically be porting it for the novelty factor, which isn't much of a motivation. Perhaps when it's in an RC or RTM state, he'd be more willing

The porting guide is up. It says there that it uses Cyanogenmod as the base for the system (using the kernel and some drivers, no android specific) so devices officially supported by Cyanogenmod should be easy to port to. So if someone is brave enough to try this on their Transformer all the information needed is in the link.

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.

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...

- I'm new to the Android Development side of things as all I've ever done was install Mods/ROMS/Recoveries and change a few settings here and there.
- I am in the process of trying to pick up all the skills needed to start this undertaking so it will be a while before you see any sort of real progress.
- If you can list things you think I ought to know please either send me a PM or post.
