Eventually, I'd imagine. I'm finishing up getting people to a reasonable Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty) base, at which point I'll take a look at what it takes to move people to 9.10, 10.04, etc. For prebuilt Ubuntu packages, 4.0 is only available for 11.04 at the moment, so the alternative would be custom-built packages.

So, I have started theming recently and I heard that Ubuntu helps a lot in this. I think I saw somewhere about a specific version of Ubuntu to get for theming. Anyone knows that? I think it was 9.10 but I'm not sure at all...
Why dont you use latest like i use 11.04 if you dont want new look just disable ubuntu unity in compiz fusion settings.
Never mind. I am installing it in an old laptop and my system properties can only run Ubuntu 9.10 and lower, so...I'm installing that one...

What and where have you heard about Ubuntu helping on theming? It depends on personal taste and choice. You also have much more tools to help you graphically on windows and mac os.
Anyway, what makes the last version of ubuntu heavier on requirements it's basically its GUI, if you start updating that older version you will get the same thing. Download xubuntu or lubunto if you want something really light.

In the android theming section. Also someone said "...Your theme will not have a preview, but this is a small trade off to get themes working if you're not on linux."
I am new in XDA developer forum. I knew java and android at the immediate level. Now I'm interested in creating my own Android smartphone ROM. After searching in google, I see that there are a thing which is called "Default ROM" released by google. Base on this ROM, different companies created different ROM in their own style such as Sense, Motoblur, TouchWiz, etc.
So where could I download such a default ROM, and how could I begin with ROM developer. It is kind from my if anybody could give me a tutorial.
(Sorry if the question is exist in the forum, because I could not find it)
Thanks a lot.
Best regards,
me too, i have the same question, can someone help? thx
Your best bet is to have a look at compiling the aosp from source which you will need a Linux os for. The android sdk is a good place to start.

Also are there no different way but Linux OS?
I still have the Android SDK, but do not know how to begin to custom a ROM via code.

Yes to build android from Google's source you will have to have a Linux os. Either stand alone Linux or a version like ubuntu

In your experience, which linux os should i used. I m also a bit confuse because i did not have to much experience with linux...

Me too, trying to learn. Just installed dual boot Ubuntu 10.1 to my comp and trying to figure it out. Big change coming from win7. Ubuntu 11 I couldn't figure out

One place you can start by checking and has a lot of good info is http://freeyourandroid.com/
I learned how to port from them although I still need to ask questions but it can get you started.
If you just want to get Ubunto going in a virtual machine for now and have NO IDEA take a look at this: http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/26/ho...om-for-android-part-1-setting-up-the-kitchen/
Old release links but Ubunto will update itself
Currently, I think that 10.04 lucid is the "official" build platform for Android. Does anyone have any insight on if/when 12.04 will become the build platform? It seems a likely candidate because of the extra long 5 year support for both desktop and server.
The Android build is routinely tested in house on recent versions of Ubuntu LTS (10.04), but most distributions should have the required build tools available. Reports of successes or failures on other distributions are welcome.

Well it should work fine, I assume Google will update there Ubuntu now 12.04 is stable and LTS
Sent from my ice cream powered Nexus S
12.04 can be easiely used to build Android without any problems, I was using it already.
You can downgrade gcc and g++ to 4.4 and everything works like on 10.04, so no problems in latest version .
It's not really a question about compiling the code, but more about testing. Do you think that google will start testing the code against 12.04 with gcc 4.7 (or whatever is current) or just keep downgrading?
Building on Ubuntu 12.04 is currently only experimentally supported and is not guaranteed to work on branches other than master.

Also from source.android.com
I thought I read something from JQB about moving to 12.04, but I don't know if this is a trivial issue or if there are major roadblocks, like java, etc. I think that 10.04 is supported until 2013 desktop/2015 server, so it might not even be this summer.
Well, I can build Android (CM9) very well with a recent Debian system.
I think what it basically comes down to is the toolchain you use (i.e. the right version of gcc, g++, etc). If your distribution doesn't have packages for the versions you need, you can always build your own ;-)
Maybe I should ask "when will JBQ upgrade his desktop machine to 12.04?"

You do know that the x86/x64 toolchain in your system is not used by the android build system ? You can't use output of that on any of the currently supported android phones. check the /prebuilt directory for the cross compile toolchains used by android which should work fine on any linux system.
This is just a general question. I dont have the know how or skill to create a port like this. Maybe DZK could use his CM10 A3 base and move from there otherwise just build from scratch. It would be nice to see Ubuntu on our device.

It depends on the structure of the files, Ubuntu moblie itself isnt running on a Jb base. The ubuntu moblie OS isnt a ROM Its an entire system its self. If someone along the line were to create some CM10 ROM that look and or acts like Ubuntu mobile then someone could port it over. But that is about all we could see on that.
P.S. it is very likely that someone will create a Ubuntu ROM on top of CM10

not exactly the code with in ubuntu touch is a lot like cm10.1. in fact it is the same just modified some with the ubuntu ui skined over it. it also uses a chroot process like you would if you felt like running full ubuntu virtually on the phone. making it slow and ineffecient. it can be done if someone is determined enough but i really see no point it doesnt support over 95% of apps and it does not support 3g data. it most likely will not be any reason to port it to the dx2/mx2 because by the time ubuntu touch be comes stable enough to use as a daily driver most developers will have stopped working on these devices and most people whod use it will have upgraded to a new phone.
Its extraordinarily hard since we have a locked boot loader and cannot flash a new kernel. SO it would have to run on top of GB 2.3.4 and have a monster set of patches just to get partial function. Not worth the effort for this phone.
For the Droid X2, it's probably unlikely you will ever see Ubuntu OS on your device. Like what was said above, the bootloader is locked so you can't simply install it like you would for phones that it is intended for (unlocked phones). Ubuntu OS is also not something just running on top of android. The only android stuff that is used is android kernel and services. They do this so they can support a variety of android phones and allow Ubuntu to run natively on a phone made for Android. But Ubuntu OS is its own OS and not a skin on top of android. But the biggest thing right now is that the version they released is not a full OS. Its a developer tool so developers can have something to test their apps and develop for. You dont want this on your device right now unless you plan on doing some development for Ubuntu. The OS is not functional as a daily driver as it is right now.
Yeah. I saw the xda developers YouTube. I was wrong. I didn't really expect the code to be like that.

Could there be a Ubuntu Touch port for Nook Tablet 8 or 16gb? I'm willing to test it if anyone planing to build.

The Adam Outler Re Flash Method uses ubuntu as a recovery program. But if you remove the recovery file from the SD card then it becomes a version of "Ubuntu Touch"
Porting Ubuntu Touch is similar to building CM10.1, so expect it to come around sometime. I personally will wait for the release version, as the current preview build is mostly non-functional except for perhaps the browser.

Then again, with a base ported over, taking drivers from the recovery, it would be simple to port the official...since the kernel is almost locked in!
IDK about you...but I'm going to make some tries at a port
