This is probably old news but I just recently saw this on the Ubuntu website. Looks pretty freaking sweet! Still in development tho.

There's actually a phone made by Fujitsu that's similar in that it can be booted into the full desktop windows 7 32 bit by the switch of a button. The downside I see to it is that when you are running it the phones radio is turned off so you can't receive calls or texts also the phone UI is some proprietary Fujitsu software. Needless to say it looks pretty lame compared to Android but nevertheless it's still pretty awesome looking. Here's a few links if you guy's wanna check it out.

Would like to point out while Ubuntu are working on it, there are already a range of projects to get it running on your device (see my sig) my project is on of the more active projects, really the only big thing missing that they have working is native graphics (right now my project uses a vnc server within ubuntu to view gui within android).
Mine works on a whole host of devices (not just dual core like ubuntu project) and you can also install debian or backtrack if you wish.
We are in the process of adding more options to the app and making it far more user friendly (Although it is already pretty fool proof)
I love ubuntu on my pc. I would love it on my phone.

But im excited! I've alread click their link on their page.
Also, with the advent of ICS tgeb JB they need to kick it into gear or how else they going to keep up with the upgrades?

If you can virtualize another distribution within it, you basically have Linux within Linux within Linux.

I'm not new to android but I am new to developing. I have no experience at all. I have been reading different websites on a good way to start and each are very different. My goal is to be able to develop aosp roms. Apps is my secondary goal. I want to be able to develop/code from the source. Kitchens are not my preference. I'm hoping on a long shot for a Rom developer to teach me the ropes. From beginning to end sort of thing. We are a community here, so I'm hoping we can pass on knowledge to others who are willing (like me). Anybody willing to take me under their wings?

I know little to nothing about compiling AOSP, but I do know you need Linux (Ubuntu) and the Android source code. However, rather than branching out yet again, why don't you consider contributing to the cyanogen mod project instead? It's already rather refined but always accepts creative new ideas.
If you need help with app development, give me a pm. I do some myself at www.gundersoft.com

Linux is free, you can either set up a VM or dual boot w/ windows. Linux is the key that will open the door for ya.

Are you familiar with Java programming? You'll need Java development kit installed on your PC. I'm not sure if Eclipse IDE runs well on a window machine, but if you're familiar with Linux you can run Eclipse IDE on Ubuntu. You also will need Android SDK. This lets you write raw code and helps you get it working in the Android environment. There's more stuff, but that can be found at the thread referenced above or by Google'ing!

I am only familiar with some of the things mentioned from researching but I wasn't sure what was going to lead me to the right avenue, steady now I know what to download and focus more attention on now it's time to stick my head in a book as well as this forum any other information would be awesome thanks

Google, along with XDA will be your best resources. XDA probably more so, because you ask for help and members will do their best to answer you, as opposed to just reading links online that may be written in "Greek" as far as being understandable and easy to digest, with no real availability to get quick, useful, insightful info with.

Also, I was at Barnes & Noble (not sure where you're from) bookstore and there's a section just for Android software development there. Also wouldn't hurt to look into the "Android Cookbook" as a resource literature. If you don't have access to a large bookstore such as B&N, the Android Cookbook website is here:

Absolutely! I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 as well as Win7 on my laptop. Ubuntu is free to download:
http://www.ubuntu.com/download
Also download the Wubi package installer:
http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...p528Bg&usg=AFQjCNFFmxvY4HkumfqYoA0Nv24RfRPrrA
After downloading both, run the Wubi installer and it will load Ubuntu on your PC. You'll get the option upon restart as to which OS to boot -either Ubuntu or Windows.

Oh that is just amazing! Once I get my replacement A/C adapter for my g73 laptop ima get cracking, in your opinion what do you think is easier to work on, custom roms/kernels or apps?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Depends on the experience with the programs needed to do each, I suppose. For starting out you might stick with building .apks or work some theming on an existing rom build, just to get familiar with things.

Is it possible to run the actual Windows phone 8 OS on my note?
I've been thinking of trading this for a Windows phone since I've been running this for a while now.. but I remember hearing android users running the actual os on their device, which would be even better if that means being able to go back to android. Is this possible or am I dreaming?

what he said...
windows phone gets very boring very quick.
I owned one before, after about a week you'd regret it.
My last phone was a focus and I liked it very much. Can get boring, I agree... but that's why I'm interested to do it in here so I can go back to Jb when/if I want to.
I saw the one tutorial for basically losing the phone with apps to fully recreate win 8, but I'm sure I'll just be left with a buggy base android

The processor in the note isn't compatible with windows OS. Supposedly Microsoft will publish a version that will work with this processor.
Run launcher 8 that's the closest you will get. Quite nice. Using it now.

That is a whole nother ballgame, ubuntu touch is a pain. Lol
I've given up on working on it for now, as i really need my phone to be working 110% all the time, so im back to stock....with a handful of modifications ofc.
Using th3bills cm10.1 i was trying to just port it over without having to.build like they say in the porting guide, and no luck outside of a loop. User error really. Its best left to the trusted devs, etc round here.
Our phones can handle it great, and then some, BUT, as with anything over the stock gb, without drivers things dont work as they should. Ubuntu touch is really frikkin awesome to look st, but even if someone ports it, it is only a preview an 90% of the features wont work or are just placeholders. Id let it sit a while, not worth a damn atm. But it does give you a taste of the ui. Which, is tough getting used to as it is very gesture oriented as apposed to click here scroll here that we do on android.
-Cheers- Signed,

Thanks for share sir .. i though anyone haven't try it yet .. i follow the ubuntu touch forum every day hope that some of our great dev will port it. But i still wait it until happen.. i hope

If I can find some free time in my super-busy college schedule, I'd like to try my hand at porting it for us. Not just because it would be awesome to have it, but because I'd like to eventually do some app development for it (and it looks like a badass OS for a phone).
Can I put Ubuntu on my Photon even with 2.3.5?
I think you have to unlock the bootloader first.

Unfortunately not. Ubuntu requires it to be unlocked. (ubuntu ATM is highly reliant on cm10 still, so if you can't run cm10,which 2.3.5 can't)

What is the point? We need a decent kernel that can actually support our phone. Atrix 4G succeeded, and all development has halted here. This phone seems pretty much done. Very disappointing.
So, I'm thinking about trying to port a stock ROM for the Verizon s4 to the DNA. Why you guys think? Just an idea.
Sent from my dlx using xda app-developers app
I assume it will be hard and take lots of time and testing. More so than an HTC port since it's a Samsung device and they run different hardware. Some stuff may not ever work. The s4 has many features one would miss out on if ported to a DNA. Touchwiz would be nice to see because of it's fluidity and snapiness. That's something that sense has always lacked in my eyes.
Good luck with that.
Please do it!!!!

Yeah you are right, it will be difficult. And some stuff may not work I'm not sure. I used to have the s3 and there was actually a dude working on a sense 5 port. I didn't keep the phone long enough to see if everything worked though, so I'll just play around with it and see what I can do. Also don't anyone get their hopes up about it being available like now because I have to fit this into my schedule, I'll keep you guys updated!!
