Ubuntu for phones has just been announced today for mobile devices.
Ubuntu for phones website
Ubuntu for phones keynote presentation (Skip to 6:30 for the Mobile OS)
What does that mean for us? Ubuntu for phones supports the full range of ARM processors and also fully supports Android device drivers. Which means Ubuntu for phones should be easy to install on a multitude of android devices including the DINC2.
What does this mean for Devs? You can code in native C and C++ and there is no Dalvik VM to limit what you can and can't do.
We'll be getting a glimpse soon, as the Ubuntu OS will be made available for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus in the coming weeks.
That looks so sweet
I will keep my eye out for this one!

I just can't wait to test it on a non nexus device. Seems very interesting.

Sadly I seem to have been mistaken, the OS will only be available for phones that feature the A9 chipset and that doesn't look to include the DINC2....

Regardless it's good to something other than google os. As much as I love android, I wouldn't want google monopolizing the market furthermore. It's about time Ubuntu/Tizen and etc to shine.

Love Ubuntu on my computer hopefully it'll be ported to my s3 ^_^

I really want to have this! Looks promising and even though I'm an AOSP fan (and android uses a Linux kernel) the possibilities with an Ubuntu phone OS really attracts me!
cool eager to try this out
Supports A9 phones? Yay!
Waiting for this to be ported to my S3 when it's out for the nexus!
Hope they will support armv6 or
Msm_7x25 phones

you all are happy that you get it for your arm devices ?
i am happy that i will get it for my intel device

I would love to give this a go on my S2 Skyrocket.

From what I understand from reading a few articles about this is that the 2014 date is for manufacturers to ship it pre-installed on the phone, whereas it is released next month for the Galaxy Nexus whether it be the source code or a prebuilt image, but as it uses the android kernel and drivers so I wouldn't be surprised to see unofficial ports in the next few months for many of the high end devices including the Note 2.
Why a fail? I'm interested in seeing it! And playing around with it! It looks pretty cool. I'm sure when Android first came out everyone thought the same thing, but look at how it flourished.
Sounds awesome to me. They are clearly struggling to get OEMs on board, so I think releasing images to let the modding community have a play is a great way to build momentum and gain feedback.
It's how MIUI got started, and I hope it works for Ubuntu.
With a phone as powerful as the Note 2, it's a shame it can't run anything more than android for docking & use with monitor/keyboard/mouse.
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda premium
Looks very nice! I have been following there progress for sometime...They really need to get this O/S on board with OEM's in 2013, but like said I am sure we will see ports soon, hopefully for the N2!

There is never going to be an official port.

I was wondering how come no one got this idea before.

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.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
as far as i know the only compatible phone is the n950 at the moment.

Well, I expect that Jolla'll release its firmware, so we all could install sailfish (meego's bastard son ) at our phones .
I believe it compatible with N9 (meego phone)
But Jolla not port into it

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

Hey folks, I'm keen to start work porting the gnexus image for Ubuntu to the N7000 when it's released later this week. Is anyone else keen to join this effort?
While very familiar with the linux commandline, servers, desktop linux, and flashing my phone, I haven't compiled much code before and am unsure where to start. I would appreciate any advice you might have.
Looking forward to getting this os running on our original notes.

Deleted sorry wrong post.
I would love to see some support here. Push!
I'm presuming you're going to need to build an unbuntu compatible kernel for the note, mobile devices don't tend to work in the same way as desktops, so the pretty much universal kernel model used on the desktops don't work too well here. (size being the major consideration).
Not really looked into what they are doing, I'm presuming they will release source under gpl, so at least you will be able to diff a standard gnex build and the ubuntu. You can then use that as a basis to rebuild for the note.
"Porting" an image if that's all they release is going to end up quite messy.
EDIT according to techradar they will release source http://www.techradar.com/news/softw...galaxy-nexus-nexus-4-coming-next-week-1131567
But doesn't it run on android kernel without any modifications?

You think every android phone runs on the same kernel? Think again.
It's always a possible that they will use an Android kernel for the gnexus or n4 builds, but it's unlikely, as Android has some features that don't play too nicely with a mainstream Linux build.
Not seen this yet, nor code for it, so can't say exactly what they are doing yet.

See what happens when it comes out then, but would seem from the information Canonical is presenting that they are using standard android kernels. Will be interesting to see.

Yes, but what he say is that Ubuntu runs from Android Kernel. The CyanogenMod 10.1 kernel. And as we have CM 10.1 on note, the kernel is not a problem
Yep, definitely looks doable now. Love cyanogenmod and ubuntu.

It's been ported to the SGS3 so provided a developer picks it up for the N7000 i can't imagine it's far off:

Is that really necessary for 1 thread?
Sent from my GT-N7000000000 using Tapastalker 2
Well... There is actually just 1 thread but in (near?) future there will be more threads for mods, roms etcpp and so they would get lost between the android threads... But I think we have time till the first port appears...
But count me in for beta! Would be pretty awesome seeing Ubuntu 4 Phones on our beloved GNote!
IMPORTANT NOTES

- Until the Release of the first build this is purely Discussion and the steps leading up to the first build.
- 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.
- I'm currently just setting up Virtual Box Configurations for Development.
Any help would be appreciated!

I don't suppose that the lot working on Ubuntu could cut out the rubbish that is comparing ARM quad core CPU's with x86 quad core CPU's?
other than that, it's nice to see another somewhat-edge oriented touch interface and will be interesting to try it on my i9305 once releases start coming, probably not gonna be a keeper though.
I'd really love to run Ubuntu Touch on GT-I9305 !!
So followed the instruction for the GT-I9300 device - but while the installation process it aborted with a message like some symlinks not working properly..
I'm ****ed up of android with google.. so I will install a native android on that device - but I'm the first who installs Ubuntu Touch ASAP!!
Thank you very very much for your work!!
eagerly awaiting first release,,Pheoxy r u compiling this or r u waiting for someone else to compile,,, if u r compiling,,,, have u made any progress
I have gotten my big computer out of storage.. I might setup Linux and see what I can do towards this project

Unfortunately no, I've had a lot of setbacks lately and getting things sorted. My phone sort of dying and not letting me install most custom Roms has set me back a bit and I'm in the middle of some courses.
So until some of that's been taken care of or someone decides to have a go themselves I'm stalled but happy to update the thread if someone does come along.
Shame just purchased this phone sad this project is stalled would love to se e this

nice I would really love to try ubuntu touch on the S3
My son tried it in his mako (officially supported). Very preliminary version. No market, apps must be installed by terminal Linux commands, even keyboard and language require terminal commands.
No apn. No sim code asked, so no network.
In fact unusable. So I can't imagine how it can be here.
hmmm cheers for that info,, ill look into it once ubuntu is setup
