Hello,
I was just about to buy a cheap desktop to run ubuntu. However I thought now that my phone can be overclocked to 1.5 ghz. This makes it easily fast enough to run ubuntu when my hd2 can run ubuntu fast enough. So why couldnt we have ubuntu running on our sgs2 as well as running the phone os through kies or something similar? However we dont have the mhl cable cable but when it is released then webtop would be very useful and save people a lot of money. If you agree then please make a comment so hopefully developers will not feel like it is a waste of time developing it.
Thanks,
Billy

I guess were not getting webtop ported then

Even if somebody developed a webtop-esque environment for the SGS2, how would you control it? The one port would already be taken up by an mhl/hdmi cable and there is no Bluetooth HID profile.
I would like to see this, have seen videos of youtube of people running windows 7 / linux environments on their smartphones such as HTC HD2 & Nexus One, saw the article of the X10i getting some linux love and wouldn't mind trying it out as well.

You would need to find somebody to spend their time carrying out such a task .
Offer a $7000 reward somebody might .

So I wanted to see peoples reaction to porting android to a Xbox or wii ? I have been contemplating putting some time and money into porting a rom for the wii I think it would be really crazy! I managed to get the android live disc running on my modded Xbox but no controls yet. Would anyone be interested in a rom for the wii if I get it working? Let me now!

I'll test it on the wii. Or Xbox 360.
Hell this would give me a reason to turn my wii on

The Wii would be helped by the fact that it has a massive Linux porting community. Check out Whiite Linux. Sadly, they barely have X Window running on most implementations.
On that matter, most of the android functionality is already there, it's a matter of looking pretty. Short Of Angry Birds, they've beat you to it in a lot of ways. They've got apps and even an appstore called the Homebrew Browser. Everything is very slow, but what can you expect from it? Yes, most of the good stuff is running by putting Devkit Pro on top of a weak linux, so some improvement could be had. It's not android, but it does the same things.
So far as the 360 goes, if you could put an indie game out with an intentional bug that lets you run Androidx86 off a thumb drive, you could use the Kinect to emulate touch screen. USB keyboard is available to fill in the rest.

Thank you I'm exploring home brew I was just thinking honeycomb would be sick!

It'd be great, but considering that the Wii is running on 2001 State Of The Art, I doubt it will be able to handle much without the official devkit (Which is illegal unless you are a major label dev). Also, everything has to be put into a binary to load, so even Whiite is being done a convoluted way. I have a bit of knowledge of running homebrew on Wii, so I can get you any info or testing you need.
Start with Froyo. Honeycomb won't happen. Maybe Ice Cream Sandwich, but not Honeycomb, for this type of project, you'll NEED kernel source.
I'd be willing to test on Wii or 360. Sounds awesome.
Wow! Right up my street. My two favs mashed together. So INTERESTED! I'm new to the 'DEV', but addicted, and learning at lightspeed. Xboxs ready and waiting 2 serve! Xbox nandroid would revolutionize the world. It would be one of the most popular PCs ever, not to mention cheap.

Found A Way
Okay, so i was doing some searching and i found something called android-x86
(wwwDOTandroid-x86DOTorg) and they have full source code for a x86/PPC version of android, gingerbread currently. which is good because of the wii which has a PPC prossesor. If you do some editing im sure someone can make android for wii.
I'd be willing to test either system android TV would be cool if we could figure that out .. wii or 360 would be excellent to have android os on it I'm thinking wii would be easy for everyone to use since its so easy to mod and the hbc delivers downloads for everyone

I hate to be cynical here, but the Wii only has 88mb of ram. I dont know if thats enough to run Android. Not to mention that Android was written for the ARM platform and the Wii is PPC.
I would be happy to see android ruining on the xbox 360. Its got to be under of the best ideas I have heard yet.

Interesting read for sure. Thanks for sharing
When I saw that I got really excited and started wondering if it was possible for one of our developers to get their hands on the code.(It's open source if I'm correct) It would pretty awesome if an originally Java coded device get install a ROM in C# just like normal.
Anybody know if that would be possible?
Yes that would be great! We could get a lot more effort out of our razrs! I will be very thankful to the dev who is willing to develop something like this for the razr

If this Java thing with google and oracle continues to become more of a headache,I just wonder if this could become more a significant role with Android.... Who knows?
Sent from my DROID RAZR using XDA
The judge on the Google vs Oracle trial has expressed a lot of doubt over whether APIs are copyrightable, because they are the instructions for using a programming language.
Though there is a jury on the case it is the judges decision as to whether APUs are copyrightable.

ON{X} seems to be a similar app to Tasker or SmartActions. It gives you the ability to create your own"recipes". I was curious if anyone with some developing skill is using this app. It lets you control and extend the capabilities of your Android phone using a JavaScript API to remotely program it.
I just started using this app and it seems as though there is a lot of potential. However, I have no developing experience and there are limited "recipes" on the onx website. I was curious if there are any members with developing experience that are using/creating/willing to share their recipes with those of us less skilled to do this.

Could I request a port of Ubuntu touch? I think it would rock to see that beast in action!
Sent from my Rezound using xda app-developers app
We are all dying to try it, but we need a Dev to take on the port.
Darn... If I had more knowledge on how to do this I would totally take a wham bam whack at it. I guess reading the forums its a branch off CM 10... I could be wrong. It did say it uses a mirrored git repo and is supported for all official cm10 devices.

My tablet has a ubunto rom i have the Acer Iconia A500, its a rough build n most things dont work...itll be cool to run somethin new
From what I've heard Ubuntu touch is basically android running Ubuntu touch on top of it, but that was the tablet version so idk about the phone version. Later versions of Ubuntu touch should be full Ubuntu base though.
Sent from my Infected Rezound using xda app-developers app
Touch runs along side the android virtual machine. In about a year we should see the full Ubuntu mobile app on there own hardware running natively without an android base. The Ubuntu mobile is supoost to be one of the biggest leaps ever in terms of mobility. Its sup post to run on your phone dock with a tablet and even have the ability to use as a low end computer. In short its gonna be awesome!
