Excuse me, but I've been searching for a while in the web AND in the XDA forums and I didn't find anything about putting Google's Android on Artemis.
Is there anyone working on this?
What exactly are the needs to run it on Artemis? Is it even possible?
I read a lot about the QTopia project...Is there a problem on GSM network on Android too?
Also, Google's Android was already ported to Vogue...Is that good news for us, users of Artemis?
I know it's a lot of questions, but I'm urging to run Android on my Artemis...
thanks a lot to whoever answers this!
also interessting for me !!!!
its such a great os,that we could use with our phones.
all the people try to work on manilla 2d but nobody interessted in android?
??????????????????????????????
Too bad no one is up to help us out....
It would be particularly interesting to see it working...
why nobody answer???
???????????????????
What is the advantage of having Android on your phone?
The advantage would be all the advantages of using the Android...
Like free apps, good stuff AND no more windows mobile...LOL
I have tried many different versions of andriod that i have found at the forum, but I have just succed to boot up to the red dot moving, but after some minutes it stops and I have to remove the battery and put it back to restart my Artemis
//Drakfisken
so you mean its should develop better to use it? sorry for my english
Dunno what need to be done to get it working

advantage of having linux is not having windoze
we'll have to wait a bit,but windows will hopefully be overcame
Depends on the price manufacturers pay for WinMo licenses, if the price is high enough they might change to Linux in the future. Same thing has happend with servers.
On desktop computers it's still not very popular because it's difficult to use for beginners, demands too much to know. But on mobile phones it could be a lot easier since they do very little compared to full sized computers.
On the other hand, I'd still prefer WinMo devices since it's a lot easier to install apps. I don't want to open a console on my mobile just to install an application.

hehe yeah stick out the terminal and sudo apt
but there are also synaptic package managers...which are GREAT
i'd prefer that linux being as close to WM as it can (to have a real pc in pocket) unlike android which is closer to the iphone and has limited functionality (at least for now)
why simple if it can go complicated

What linux are you using in your Artemis? Wherte can i download it? It´s full functional?
The Qtopia Version, don't remember the link but it's in the forum. Didn't use it for some time now since it's not fully working (phone, bluetooth,...).

Yeah... Qtopia i already used. But since there is no functional phone operation, i quit using it.
Is there another version full functional with Artemis, or some kind of Deadline to realease a new version of Qtopia?
Hi all,
I 2 am wondering if it's possible to run android on my artemis. I would love to get rid of WM.
Any news on this front since last post in feb 2009?

Hi Every one,
I was thinking, why there is no android or ubuntu on leo?
Is it about the Snapdragon processor,but XPERIA X10 runs android.
and ubuntu is just an os it`s not ported from any device.
Is it Lack of developers?
They work on many devices but not leo
Can anyone explain to me why
Thank you
There are dozens of threads on Android on the HD2. Use search and you'll find them.
Installing a different OS on a phone designed to work with a specific platform isn't exactly like installing Linux on a computer that shipped with Windows.
Getting Android to boot on the HD2 is one thing, getting it to interact with every piece of hardware is quite another. HD2 is designed for Windows Mobile so development on porting Android starts from the ground up.
Yes there are plenty working on a port but such a port won't come overnight and will take time to actually be 'usable' to the average person.
Edit: and ubuntu is a desktop OS so hardly the most practical solution on a handheld device. Win95/98 etc. can be run 'within' Windows Mobile though via emulation, so of course there's always a chance it can be emulated too, if someone works on it. Though I imagine it'd be very sluggish and impractical

And i hope they make it
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:

Greetings to all on this New Year!!!(Almost late!)
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.

You'd probably have to have /home on the internal sdcard to use /osh for installing Ubuntu.
Funny that this is the third thread in the last few days talking about using stand-alone Ubuntu on the device.

Everyone knows Ubuntu Phone OS will make debut soon! SO far I've been highly amazed by Ubuntu Phone OS. It's the ideal phone OS. Heart of a desktop PC & look of a phone OS My question is are our developers interested enough to work on this OS to port? If not, then I've the following idea. Ubuntu OS will work by default with a wide range of devices. (Just like every PCs can run Ubuntu..Their target is to give the option for every Android users to install Ubuntu on their device). But Atrix has some disadvantages for nvidia tegra 2 ap20h chipset.
I've made a request to Mark Shuttleworth to not to overlook our Atrix 4G here.As we are now stuck & little hope of ICS/JB, option of Ubuntu OS will be great for us. But as Atrix 4G uses an unique Nvidia Tegra 2 AP20H chipset, Ubuntu Phone OS may not work by default. The Ubuntu Phone OS developers may need to write additional codes to support our Atrix.

In terms of hardware, we're just above what they consider "entry level" (see http://9to5google.com/2013/01/02/ub...cted-to-ship-in-early-2014-based-off-android/)
So far we know that the OS is based in Android but without Dalvik and that it will use Android kernels. While that's great in terms of porting to existing devices, that may be an issue in terms of updates, as the Achilles heal of updates for Android is the kernel more than anything else.
Edit: Somewhat more detailed specs here
The Tegra 2 is classified as the 1Ghz Cortex A9, but our device does have more memory. The part that may be cause for concern is that the minimum requirements for Ubuntu Phone OS suspiciously fall in line with ICS minimum requirements.
I was thinking the same thing, we don't have fully stable ics-jb but maybe we can get fully stable ubuntu.

Depends on what the kernel requirements are. The thing is, the display server can have a minimum kernel requirement, yet there is no information regarding what display server is going to be used. This makes it impossible to know if any applications written will be compatible, and without applications, your smartphone is just a dumbphone with an expensive data plan.

You may have better luck in the Ubuntu Phone OS section of the forums. What you need is a thriving hub of activity, but what we have here is more like a retirement community.
However, I think that you'll find that if we want the OS on our phones, it's going to be a community effort that gets it there. If they'll be releasing readily install-able images, it's more likely that they'll target devices still in production rather than devices that have been out of production as long as ours has, especially considering the increasing number of hardware failures. To put it in perspective, Ubuntu's Unity DE currently relies on Compiz, which in turn is maintained by 1 guy, Sam Spilsbury, who left to pursue his education.

So, with the recent news of a port of Sailfish to the Nexus 4, I've been thinking. Does anyone know what it would take to port this OS? Does anyone here know the system well enough to be able to describe what it would entail to port this to another Nexus device, like the Nexus 5?
To clarify, I'm not asking anyone else to port the OS (though if someone would like to, that's fine), because I'm more than happy to do the work for it. I've just never actually ported anything like a completely new OS, so I don't know what it would involve and I'd like it if someone explained or even gave a rough outline of what would need to be done.

I tried to do that a few weeks back but didn't have time to hunt down all the problems I had.
Check out this blog:
http://martinbrook.blogspot.com/?m=1
There's a rough guide in one entry. Basically you need to build CM from source, apply libhybris patches and then set up Mer on top of it. When you get Mer running it should be easy to install Sailfish packages. Libhybris is a compatibility layer for Android drivers to work on normal linux. Good luck and let us know how it goes. I had troubles with building Mer image for my device. In the video you mentioned it looks like the whole patch+Mer+ sailfish packages is this second prepared zip he flashes.

Not yet; I've been busy working with other things. Though it looks like we're in pretty good shape so far because the recent Ubuntu Touch builds have been getting doing some good work for Mer on the Nexus 5, so hopefully we can use that progress. I just haven't found the time to work on this yet, unfortunately.

I think SF is a really promising OS more so than Firefox is, tizen, and I think more polished than Ubuntu phone. I can't wait to start developing for it so I really want to port it when I get my laptop back. Nice thing is if you use Qt you can basically just write one app that will natively run on Ubuntu and SailFish

I agree completely. It's sad that it hasn't seen a bigger leap in development, but I hope that it'll pick up sooner rather than later. I was just reading earlier today about Qt, which is pretty nifty if you ask me. Hopefully I'll find some time this week to actually make progress on it.

I tweeted Jolla asking if there was now an arm image within the SDK instead of just a x86 one and they told me that there is so that will take care of one major issue.
Android One port
Hi there! I'm not sure if this is where I can ask but I will, just to make sure. Could it be possible for someone to please port Sailfish OS to the Android One devices? They share nearly identical hardware (only differences are in storage).
Here are the specs:
Processor: Mediatek MT6582M 1.3GHz Quad Core ARM Cortex-A7 CPU
GPU: Mali-400 MP2
RAM: 1GB
Camera: 5.0 MP Autofocus Back Camera with LED Flash; 2.0 MP Front Camera
Storage: 4/8 GB (varies; categorized into sprout4 and sprout8 devices, respectively)
MicroSD: 32 GB max caapacity
Sim: Dual Micro
Network: 3G HSPA+, 2G EDGE and GPRS; Wi-Fi
Bluetooth: 4.0 with LE support
Location sensor: GPS with A-GPS
FM Radio
Ports: MicroUSB 2.0, 3.5mm audio jack
Other sensors: Gyroscope, Accelerometer, Ambient Light Sensor
Battery: 1,780mAh Li-ion
Don't worry about the MediaTek processor hampering sources, check Google repos for code. Also sources are updated frequently.
I want to experience Sailfish on my phone and likely other fellow Android One users. Minimal modifications necessary for sprout8-specific patches.
