Hello Everybody,
Many of you must be familiar with Ubuntu Mobile, Ubuntu's latest project in the field of mobiles. Now the question is- Is Ubuntu supported on HTC HD2?
The Answer to the question is- Yes. As explained in the Linked video(See Below) by UBUNTU Co-founder, Ubuntu works on all the devices which can run Android. If you're not sure what I am saying, please see the video, seek it to 20:49 if you don't want to watch the whole video. It is based on Android Kernel only.
See the video here- http://youtu.be/cpWHJDLsqTU
(already Seeked)- http://youtu.be/cpWHJDLsqTU?t=20m49s
So, I am here with a new challenge, and that is the Porting Of Ubuntu Mobile. I hope you all are ready for it! :good:
I will be waiting for a Native SD Release!

Ubuntu is Linux, Android is Linux, nothing new there. 'Supported' is vague. I didn't see the part in the video where he said, and we will provide drivers and support for your 3 year old phone

NO my friend
Ubuntu is Linux,
Android is JAVA + Linux
it's NOT the same
Here's the toolkit they offer to app developers http://developer.ubuntu.com/get-started/gomobile/

Yes, but the kernel is similar (Android just misses out ALSA support). Java just provides the UI.

OP, i am just wondering u are porting "Ubuntu Mobile" or "Ubuntu Touch"?
You must acknowledge that "Ubuntu Mobile" is for "x86" CPUs, "Ubuntu Touch" is for "ARM" CPUs.
And currently, i want to port this, too. May be u will be faster
is Ubuntu Touch pure linux without dalvik VM? is it better for that?
Yes, currently, Ubuntu Touch is using the base android.
It uses its HAL, and dalvik VM, etc are not needed.
Ubuntu Touch is supposed to run on CM10.1, and currently, i found a source of CM10.1 for HTC HD2.
Compilation is still in progress, i met lots of errors, but lets hope we will success
I am going to update any progress here.
2013-03-11: This log has been created.
2013-03-17: After lots of tries and debugging, CM10.1 has been successfully compiled. No BCMDHD support. I'll try to port it to ubuntu tonight or tomorrow.
2013-03-22: Way to achieve ubuntu on the htc hd2 has been found. Due to my school tests start from today, development will be slow/suspended for about a week.
2013-03-24: Base android has been successfully ported into the HD2, although it is a bit slow/buggy, it is still acceptable.
2013-03-24: UbuntuTouch rootfs OK! No gui yet, need sometime for debugging.
2013-04-03: I just figured out that everything i done was wrong, i should use my custom android-init instead of the old init, debugging for the new init.
R: Ubuntu Mobile - Development
so Ubuntu mobile can't run on HD2? just x86?
are there any differences between the two distro?

You know since the departure of my old time favorite phone and platform, Nokia and Symbian, I have been forever lost. Yes, even Android despite open-ability and usability, one is still tied to Google. This Ubuntu announcement has been the most epic announcement ever. Can't wait for a port to this Desire Z and vanilla Ubuntu phone goodness. Imagine Nokia N900 next gen with linux?
Is anyone actually working on this?

Hi
I downloaded and installed Android Studio today . I installed JDK 7 befor that .
Android Studio runs , but when i click new project and compelet wizard , my computer attempts to download something from Internet and my connection speed is very low . How I can run Androd Studio without downloading exceesive materials from Internet ???
I don't know if you can use Android Studio without this download (I don't think so) but it's about 30-40 mb... Even if you have a bad connection, I think you can download it.
Did you do this?
Follow the setup wizard to install Android Studio.
Known issue: On some Windows systems, the launcher script does not find where Java is installed. If you encounter this problem, you need to set an environment variable indicating the correct location.
Select Start menu > Computer > System Properties > Advanced System Properties. Then open Advanced tab > Environment Variables and add a new system variable JAVA_HOME that points to your JDK folder, for example C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_21.

So does this now mean Android supports Java 7? If not how does android studio get around the compiler problem?

I think that it does. However, it might be compiled as Java 6 but you can use the JDK 7.

They say that they want to support both Eclipse and Android Studio. However, in my opinion Android Studio is already better than Eclipse.
And they said that they will focus on Android Studio in the next time to add all necessary features. :good:

Hi
I tried MultiROM to install Ubuntu Touch but finally i couldn't boot into ubuntu touch
i read lots of tutorials and watched some videos to find problem but i couldn't find !!!
as main tutorial;
Ubuntu touch preview
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38300214&postcount=104
i Downloaded files and installation was successfully
i Just got this error that i don't know what to do with it that says not found boot.img and try to use current boot.img
should i flash Boot.img (http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-to...ent/saucy-preinstalled-boot-armel+grouper.img) to bootloader of N7 !?!?
Or any other download link that contain boot.img or maybe thr s special thing to download and no one mentioned !!!
pls help
ThnX
---
Really silly mistake :|
i just flashed both .zip as Add ROM in multiRom
while i should flash first saucy-preinstalled-armel+grouper as Add ROM
and then Flash .zip to it through list ROMs and Add .zip to it
anyway sorry for mistake
and thnks for who read my problem
:good:
The guide didn't mention anything about flashing a kexec-hardboot kernel which I remember something about it needing... I have tried both Ubuntu Touch and Desktop on my Nexus and they are barely usable.

Ther are two main points here- Ubuntu desktop is installable as standalond AND with multirom. The latter requires kexec. Ubuntu touch is installable as standalone, but not multirom at this moment. Tasssadar has stated he will be fixing the ubuntu touch install process in his next multirom release.
As a side note, Ubuntu desktop can indeed feel very rough to use, but an otg and your basic usb peripherals will make a huge difference.

You have an older version of Ubuntu touch installed. The newer will not install as is. Refer to this post by tasssadar.

Yes, that is for the old zip installables. The newer nightlies system are in tar.gz with a different structure, not currently supported by multirom. As I said, you are using the old developer preview.
Here are the newer nightlies link

" Nah, new Ubuntu touch images gonna need some work. TWRP 2.6 should come out sometime soon (one or two weeks), so I'm gonna do it all at once when it is out - merge 2.6 into my modified TWRP and add support for new Ubuntu touch."

Hi, I recently installed Ubuntu desktop on my Nexus 7 using multirom.
It all went well and works well if you use a mouse with an OTG cable, I understand it was meant for developers but has anyone been able to install the tegra 3 drivers and keep unity/taskbar working?
When I install the drivers and reboot, it boots up and looks better but doesn't have unity or the taskbar. I can get into terminal with a keyboard and pretty much everything can open but its not exactly usable this way.
Thanks.

Which Tegra 3 drivers are you talking about? Ubuntu Desktop for Nexus 7 should already come with all the drivers it needs.
Its very slow and doesn't play videos, only sound. Also, in "about this computer" or something like that, none of the hardware or even the devices name is recognized. Here's a link to it https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/raring/armhf/nvidia-tegra3/16.0-0ubuntu3

Yes, those drivers are already included in Ubuntu Desktop for Nexus 7. They do have issues though (lots of screen tearing). Playing video shouldn't be a problem though if you have the right codecs installed.

Yes that's normal. Canonical ported Ubuntu to the Nexus 7 solely to test it and optimize it for low-spec devices. They didn't do a whole lot to polish it up and make it presentable for end users because that wasn't really their goal
Oh, let me offtop a little.

Yeah man. Multirom is an app made for nexus devices that let's you multiboot ROM and distros. I've got cm11, ubunut and active plasma installed right now. Just read the how to's on this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2011403 and download the Ubuntu 13.04 from that page. If you want a few other distros for multirom get them here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2093797. It really is the easiest way to actually dual boot. And the dev is amazingly helpful. Don't hesitate to report a bug to him.
