I've got an Android phone sitting around in a drawer. If that phone meets the minimum specs is it possible to remove Android completely and just run Ubuntu on the phone?

Ah. Well, I couldn't find any conversations about removing Android, just running Ubuntu over it.
U won't people just assume u know Ubuntu is it's own operating system not a Android customization meaning if u install it android will be gone unless dual booting is a possiblity canonical have came out with their own OS it is and simply out of their open source that they went out of there way to include support for android kernels but this is it's own OS like ios or android or windows is it's own there will be phones launching with Ubuntu

Ubuntu Phone is a full Android replacement. Will be out for the Galaxy Nexus late february. That's it.
Anything that goes beyond that you have to hope that the community ports it.

Do you know if one could build a Phone OS that behaves just like a PC in the sense that you don't have to flash anything from a recovery system for updates you just install them like you do on Linux? Maybe with the right partitions and privileges? So that we basically have a rolling release phone that installs core components through a package manager with root privileges. On Arch Linux I never have to reboot unless I want to load a newly installed kernel or maybe restart X to load the new nvidia driver modul.

Almost certainly that will be the way Ubuntu phone will work. Slightly less certainly, Ubuntu will include a standard Linux kernel configurable/compilable on the phone (better on the desktop )
As a Note II user concerned with privacy and security, I can't wait to replace this information-leaky "Android OS" (kernel, ROM, system/user apps) with a functional Linux alternative.
Research...

Duster, just go to ubuntu.com and read/watch videos. Highly recommend you read about advantages/disadvantages of Linux OS, install Linux and play around with it on your PC. I recommend Ubuntu's version for anyone new to Linux. See if it is something you can work with before even thinking of installing on your phone. I for one, LOVE Ubuntu for many reasons described in many forums all over the interwebs. I also enjoy Linux in general and playing around with it's many variations. I am one of those anti-mac/microsoft people though, so don't take my word for it. Research and develop your own opinions... I have stated this not to be a smart-a$$, but based on your question it sounds like you have never heard of Ubuntu. Please correct me if I am wrong.
wondering it would be like having dual OS on my phone.. just like having seven n ubuntu on my old laptop.. seems hardware requirement for ubuntu phone OS as minimum as nexus.. (imo)

EDIT: see post below for first example of Ubuntu Chroot on the Prime.
---------
Are there any Transformer Prime owners who have chrooted Ubuntu onto their devices?
chroot Ubuntu process for regular Asus Transformer: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1145601
I've done a search on Google and the forums, nada yet. Of course it's been on the market for only a few weeks - however Ubuntu on the Transformer Prime seems like something that might happen pretty quickly.
Ubuntu chroot on top of Android of course is a completely different approach than native Ubuntu. But it's been done on almost every Android device in existence. Not to mention - native Ubuntu takes tremendous hacking, while Ubuntu choot is pretty much a bog-standard process.
Currently waiting for mine to arrive with dock.
Anyone gone ahead and chrooted their Transformer Prime?
What hardware works - SD card? Bluetooth? WiFi? Sound?
I dont think its possible right now without root access, but im definitely looking forward to this as well.

n00b mistake
didn't realize that root hadn't been found yet. Looks like there is some thought that waiting for ICS, then rooting makes more sense: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416959&highlight=root
And it does make a whole lot more sense than mucking round with Honeycomb rooting.
Come February we'll probably see the first ICS rooting processes, then chroot soon after...
Damn it, please flag your question AS a question.
I thought you were telling us someone had already done this.
alright, done!

so am I correct in thinking this is ubuntu running virtually inside android, not a direct boot to ubuntu?
AWESOME ! This is one of the main reasons I want to root my prime. how does the backtrack GUI run over VNC? Any lag? Also are u able to interface with any wifi adapters over USB??
Edit: Has anyone tried interfacing with the wifi card on ATP? it'd be pretty sweet if u can put it on monitor mode.

yes.
There's several benefits I see:
1) if Ubuntu crashes, you simply restart it within Android. It's like a virtual machine in that way.
2) You can multi-task between full Linux programs, and have instant access to all your android apps at the same time.
3) It's a well established process.
Shoehorning direct-boot Ubuntu onto the Prime would be like trying to go to the moon - a tremendous undertaking by tons of extremely skilled folk. Just look at the amount of blood/sweat/tears it took to get native Ubuntu onto the original Transformer, and it's not even functional on *all* the hardware versions out there.
Firing up a chroot in Android and installing Linux is like getting in your car and driving to the next state- takes a few hours but well proven and relatively easy.
so how's the chroot run then? is it a bit slow or does it run nicely? can it run native linux apps?

zedklind could answer these questions (mine's not here yet)
Don't see why not - the Prime is a quad core with 1 GB of RAM, faster than any thing on the market currently.
theoilman said:

It's a *full fledged* linux install. Everything about it is like you'd find in a regular native linux install, except it's on ARM vs x86.
Everything that's compiled for ARM Linux can run on it - which is thousands of pre-compiled programs including LibreOffice etc etc. And if you can't find the one you want, simply get the source code and compile with GCC!
It's accessed through a VNC client- you "dial in" to it on your own computer.
can it connect to the internet through the built in wifi adapter?

It runs pretty well. Faster than my Tegra 2 device. Resolution is off but I think that's fixable. Haven't been able to fiddle too much. At work ATM. I can report back more when I get off work.

I haven't gotten my USB adapter yet. I don't have a dock. I would imagine it would require drivers. Maybe we can make a big deal about low wifi signal to Asus and get them to code drivers for us ;-p

Well the Ubuntu piggybacks off of the built in wifi. If we could get drivers for the external nics to work on Android I would imagine it would be relatively easy to get them to work in chroot Ubuntu. As for having the Ubuntu recognize the USB Idk yet. My adapter comes Friday. I have all weekend to fiddle with it. Maybe ics will add support. I'll have to do more research. I really want monitor mode. Grab some handshakes and send them to my desktop at home for gpu analysis ;-)

Anyway porting windows is possible however if its an ARM compiled Windows only.
Only released ARM Windows is Windows Embedded Compact 7(dumbed down version, Based on Windows 7), can be ported and im guessing that if ace even has a PC like BIOS it's in the CLOSED SOURCE, Windows heavily depends on BIOS.
The next thing is the kernel that needs to be adopted to coopers hardware in the source code(Yes the kernel source is public) of EC7 Kernel
Doing all that is an incredible waste of time and im guessing it can take an about an year or more to get it somewhat stable
Another way to run Windows IN Android is QEMU or BOCHS they are emulators that emulate software code as x86 hardware, Because this is only a simulation its not possible to achieve usable performance on our phone SLOW CPU not even when running Win95 or Win98 or ME or 2000(Have used both emus if an OS even boots it gives a random BSOD or crashes the whole phone)
And Reverse engineering any NT Based Windows wold probably take at least 5 years
Cloning Windows 20 years(ReactorOS)

Partially working:
Graphics Acceleration – Only 2D at this point.
Touchscreen – It works but every few touches are off target by 1/2 the screen.
not working or tested:
Bluetooth.
Trackpad.
Sound.
Sensors (ALS, Gyroscope, Accelerometer, GPS, magnetometer).
Shutdown, Reboot, Suspend.
Ooh this looks fun.
Hopefully in the future if Ubuntu releases the code for their Android-Ubuntu, those drivers can be integrated into builds like this for even more stable releases
I liked the linux tablet concept, thought they would be cheaper. But since HP's failure, I got skeptic.
But with this, would we see a change in pattern :
Buy an Android device, go the custom kernel way, choose to use Ubuntu or Android as you like, switch between OS's as often as you like....
Really excited. Hope someone around me decides to do this (Or decides to let me do it to their tab )

i dont think i would leave android for ubuntu but i would defintely flash for a little while to play around
Well, Well.... Ubuntu will probably be strangled in a "****storm" about closed/proprietary software and firmware.

I doubt that. Ubuntu currently does support 3rd Party proprietary drivers, such as that for Nvidia graphics cards, and codecs on its desktop OS. It has never been a 100% free (as in freedom) OS. There always was support for proprietary and people are okay with it.

Me too, currydude! I too re-he-heaallly wish Asus is doing that. BUT, I don't want it such that it becomes Linux/Ubuntu on docking the keyboard as I don't have it and I don't intend to buy it. I already have a laptop, I don't need another mini laptop/netbook. I would, however LOVE it if Asus allows me to boot into Linux/Ubuntu without even docking the keyboard and let me use my Tablet as a Ubuntu Tablet.
Alas, unless Asus supports this and releases a Linux version themselves, we may never see something working 100% efficiently due to all the Tegra 3 drivers that would be missing due to a lack of support from Asus! :/
Asus. DO. THIS. NOW!!!
some of us just need linux support (not ubuntu), and nvflash.

If people find Ubuntu good enough we finally might live to see the prophecised "year of the Linux desktop"
Go go go!

Although, I would like to see that happening one day
No my friend actually I wanted to install the os not the Launcher. . .
As I was able to install ubuntu in my mini pro. . . So I thought may be someone has ported that also. .
We can install android os in windows phone then why not windows phone os to android??
And I think mini pro also meet the minimum requirements of windows phone 7 os . .

Maybe I'm wrong but try to think about the partitions and the language like:
For the same reason that you can run java apps on Windows, you can run Android on Windows Phone(Please correct me if I'm wrong)
And the partitions in android are spread all over, system, data, cache... On windows it's one partition(Please correct me ), like a HDD
This is what i think, I have no experience with WP
I mean to say running windows phone OS from boot not by using emulator
HTC HD2 is an example for it u can google it.....
Is an interesting question. According to this wikipedia page on snapdragon "en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapdragon_(system_on_chip)" Nokia Lumia 700 and 800 both us the same MSM8255 soc as the SK17
Would it be more of a problem of getting it to boot in the first place (bootloader). Not that I would have a clue where to start but "when there's a will there's a way, and there's always an f'ing way!"
Yes my friend I knew about hardware thats the reason I was asking the question......
It is possible.....

Windows is closed-source, so, unlike Android you cant get it freely, install it and mod it. Only feasible way (IMO) would be for someone to crack it and install it on device with the same hardware platform as W7 phone
i hope too, maybe not windows 7, windows 8 is better for mobile :good:
Windows mobile 8 cannot be installed on our phones as basic requirement is a multicore processors

Yes very true. And I guess that is what brings us all to this very place, will like to mess about and have things customized the way we want

I didn't know this but I am sure that if somebody dose leak source or if it gets hacked this could be over come. Although MS use this as a stipulation for OME's to meet probable not an actual restriction on software side.

Its not that bad dude. . . my dad use Samsung focus S and its quite nice one. . . .
Sent from my SK17i
no.
You better use "Launcher 7" by play store.
I had my hands on both WP7 and iPhone... and i cant believe anyone in their right mind would dare to compare them to Android... Android is far superior in oh so many ways... But, unlike iPhone, i think there may yet be hope for WP8 (closed-source but not for close-minded folk like iPhone) (i now expect to be stoned by apple fanboys, since i dared to offend their perfect devices xD)
Speaking of porting WP7 to Android device, i dont think that would be legal, so dont expect to see it on these forums... But another question comes to mind is, why would you even do that ? Even if you're ex-WP7 users, give android a chance, i'm sure you'll like it once you get to know it
To give android chance thats the reason I bought mini pro
But as we can apple has lost there visionary. . .
iOS is not that much interesting now. . .
Steve jobs was such a great visionary. . .
Let me tell u guys a story that I read from his biography
Person came to him and shows iPod to him and told him that this is the smallest I can make. . .
Steve jobs simply throw that iPod in water and told him u can see the bubbles coming out of iPod that means it can be made smaller. . . . .
And regarding windows phone 8 they are future after 5 yrs windows going to be on top

Wrong. Ubuntu Phone has the same codebase as Ubuntu on the Cloud, Ubuntu Desktop, Ubuntu on the Nexus 7 etc. That's the whole point. There is just one Operarting System. You can dock any phone for best experience 2 GB RAM and a quad-core ARM CPU is simply recommended.
They demoed the desktop convergence on a phone with the same hardware as the Galaxy Nexus long ago.
I don't really know why they are. It sounds pretty cool at first, but I usually don't bring a desktop monitor around with me, and I do most of my work on my desktop. I don't want 2 full desktop computers.. I think it causes two problems instead of eliminating one.

They've shoved Linux on phones before there's nothing new about it.

I can understand these ideas for the consumer world, but the business world is becoming more and more demanding of this type of technology. Microsoft built W8 and now CIO's can look more closely at mobile/byod options. Canonical just slam-dunked their way into that arena with the Ubuntu phone.
How many iOS or Android data centers have you ever heard of? That would be news to me! The business world is run by MS or some form of Linux. I've seen Red Hat, Suse, and Ubuntu. . . add Ubuntu for phones and now you have the ability to narrow the number of systems management panes to a level competing directly with MS.
I think this rocks!

I agree.. and I think that it sounds like a fun concept, too. But how many times have you lost your phone/had it stolen?
Now compare that to how many times you lost your work computer. I don't want to lose all my work. You know what fixes that? Something we call "Syncing", yet canonical thinks it's the very thing that needs to be "solved" yet it's still unavoidable.. Also, most companies lock their computers down to prevent misuse. It would be pretty hard to lock down your phone as many exploits/hacks can unlock a boot loader
and you could flash a new OS onto it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But then again, I've never really been fond of Ubuntu since unity, it's changed them.. So maybe I'm just biased.

Personally, I keep my phone on my person 24/7. Never lost it, and the one time I had a phone stolen it was because I left it in my jacket but took it off. If you keep it in either your pocket or your hands, then there's no way you can lose it.
As for locking the phone down, who's to say you can't lock a phone down as securely as a computer? It's not like you can't plug computers into other devices as well. It's not that phones can't be as secure as a computer, it's just that they generally aren't. That's not to say that no-one could come in and fix that.
