https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Porting
Guide for porting Ubuntu touch has just been published. It uses CM 10.1 as base(drives and stuff) so since we have CM port for our devices it should be relatively easy to port Ubuntu touch to HTC Evo 3D
Let the porting begin
I'm going to go to my warehouse today and grab me my extra Evo, and the porting will begin.
I just installed linux, I'm going to see what I can do aswell

What's ubuntu?
Looks like every ones doing this
Running a vm right now and getting my sources
After reading this , I'm not that interest anymore to try Ubuntu touch.
I watch the video and assumed that all shown there is already working, now I'm a little disappointed.
But hopefully in time they'll make it better. This is a developer preview after all.

Yea, that's pretty disappointing.
As the saying goes, the demo is always better than the real thing.

Someone should actually do this : P I have my old evo 3d that I am not doing anything with and would at least like to try out Ubuntu since there is no dualboot yet for Nexus 4.
I'm partly through the porting. I've gotten quite a bit of bootloops, like, random ones. Sometimes the phone would boot up normally, then sometimes it will hang and then just go to a, what I call, recovery brick, in which I need to recover from it by running adb reboot. Once I get this all figured out, expect it to be available to CDMA users. I don't have a GSM 3vo, don't have the money for that! Hopefully I can get a friend of mine to donate to me for it, and I can work on that. I know for a fact that when I'm finished, the ROM will work with at least Virgin Mobile, I'll get my extra 3vo on Sprint for a month to see what I need to do, if anything to get it working through their network.

I would Love to give this a try when you get it done!
I would be more than willing to test this as well. As I foresee myself diving into Dev work for the EVO 3D. I'm learning so much from all yew awesome Developers here on XDA. I myself come from PC/Console modding/hacking/Overclocking & once I found XDA and bought an OV as my first smartphone I became hooked I love linux as its my goto OS so I would love to see this actually work!! If its based off 10.1 everything in theory should work except 3D...unless Canonical came up with a fix. Now that I think about it..if they did we could implement said fix into JB roms that have 3D borked. Sorry strayed from OP; I will test this for ya!!! CDMA EVO V 4g(3D) fully hacked down to HBoot S-off etc. Post a link or PM me
Bumping because I can
The beta's are now live, this includes GSM, texting and so forth. is someone already looking into this? I'm a GSM user so I will be looking into this for GSM user (looking into means private intrest, I won't be releasing anything to the community as of yet)
btw Im in no way a kernel developer so if someone is up to checking out the kernel stuff would be nice
As of the specs, we will be able to run it since this is from ubuntu themselfs:
Entry-level Ubuntu phones will require a 1Ghz Cortex A9 processor and between 512MB and 1GB of memory, while the high-end superphones that double as PCs will require a quad-core A9 or Intel Atom processor and at least 1GB RAM.
Note: These specs were found under the operators and OEMs section of canonicals website and may not reflect the requirements for installation on a android phone

As we all know that there is not many developers for this photon 4g like other mobile phones ..
so i think that if there are not developers for the photon 4g then photon will die soon
what u say about this ??????
only way my photon is dying is if i forget to plug it in
I Just want to know what the hell it is you people expect?
20, 30 Roms? That all use a slightly different deodexed base? and have a different set of icons or themes? And all introduce a new set of crap that only partially works?
I mean really - there are only so many things you can do to a rom before they all become the same damn thing with a different name and "dev".
Most of what I see out there is a guy tweaking his phone, removing bloat ware,claiming "ZOMG Battery and Speed!", dumping /system into a Zip file and that someone else made and posting it for someone else to flash to their phone
Want to learn how to do it?
Flash aliens rom, tweak it how you like it, add some icons and themeing (the brunt of the work).
adb pull /system/ C:\Users\Username\Desktop
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Copy all of that into Aliens Zip file, post it is a rom for people to flash - almost 0 effort to do anything but the art - which you can steal from just about anyone online and call it a "port".
/rant
That was just rude. .. this is best phone but when you compare Bionic and stupid 3d threads...well i see what he means ...and Roms are not usually the same.. Some have performance tweaks...like 4g on unlocked bootloader. Speed increase, themes and mods.. Nothing wrong with him trying to get or rally development support like some of the inferior phones have. Remember, this is a development site...

Not a function of the Rom - Lockfish (I think?) has just been able to figure out how to fix it outside of the issue with the bootloader.
I'm not being rude - I was being honest, but there is a thread at least every other day talking about how lack luster our dev section is. This IS a development forum - and I showed him (really basically) how to make a rom. No?
Honestly, when you get 5 or 6 different roms out there - there are enough similarities between them and not enough differences that there really isn't much of a point. 99% of what most people experience from ROM to ROM is placebo.
It appears both the OP and Kcarp were both in the wrong on this one, and for this reason:
OP - Phone development will progress only as fast as sources are released. This phone is still new enough to where developers are still waiting on critical components to really be able to customize this phone. Do not expect this forum to jump off like an HTC (insert model here) forum, but instead, anticipate seasoned developers finding and introducing mods, tweaks and more efficient ways to unlock the bootloader over the coming weeks/months.
Kcarp - C'monnnn man, you're better than that rant. You've been around long enough (hell, I remember ya from the Hero days) to know that these types of threads pop up weekly, and sometimes it's best just to ignore them. I know you meant well, but the last thing we want to do is scare off future developers from posting here as this phone gets older, when so many are leaving XDA as it is.
I am also getting sick of these whiny threads. This phone gets close to the battery life of my evo shift running a cm7 clone, locks gps about 100x's faster and gets a better data and call signal everywhere. My phone is stock rooted with no bloatware touched. It may take some time but even IF development never goes far with this phone, i'd still be happy with it.

Established developers will get to this phone eventually. CWM will add the phone into the ROM Manager database, and Cyanogen and others will eventually port their versions to ours. Have patience or be prepared to sell your phone on Ebay/Craigslist if you just can't wait.

This phone is Damn near the Best you are going to get out of the box. All those other phones NEED Rom's to run as good as our phone does Out Of The Box. Moto has updated this phone 3x in less than 2 months ALREADY (it would take Sammy 2 years to update the SGS2 3x). There is a rumor I have seen that Moto is working on ANOTHER update for this Amazing phone.
I could careless if I get ROM's or not. It works Great for me as is. I was lucky enough to get Grand Fathered into Unlimited Mobile Hotspot Data since I have been a customer since 1997 and spoke with a Retentions Manager (Politely) and she took care of me). No 5G Cap for me and my area is 4G Saturated. Use the Hotspot for my Xoom, HP Touchpad and Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0. I am Very, Very Happy with this phone.
Had the OG EVO before this phone and was putting ROM's/Kernels on it all the time (last one was Synergy SC2). Got tired of that. It's nice to just have a phone that WORKS like it's supposed to without ROM's.

Big +1 here. Epic 4g needed roms just to last a day on battery and to be fast enough to keep up with certain applications. Problem with the ROMs is that even journaled, they'd get buggy after a few weeks, or there would be just something about a ROM that would annoy me. Once it got dual boot capability I was flashing ROMs left and right. It got to be where I was flashing ROMs just to flash ROMs, like I forgot other ways to kill boredom.
I don't feel an immediate need to flash ROMs. If CM7 comes stable to the photon I'll probably try it just to see what the fuss is about. However, I'm more interested in eventual ICS. I'm happy for root because of Titanium backup and other such things that you need root to run. The battery is great, and it's plenty fast enough. There is one thing about this phone that no ROM could give me on the Epic 4g... the ability to make a phone call at work. The antenna is far superior.
the only thing I'd like to see dying Is this troll thread

good to see you around here again
Thank you! I tried using a Sense 4.0 rom and I loved it but the only problem was no 4G so I had to go back to 3.6. I knew about the lack of 3D and that was ok with me, but WiMAX sometimes is the only way I can get decent data so it will be nice to get go back to Sense 4.0. Unfortunately I don't think 3D has much of a chance, but that would just perfect the phone, why HTC decided to go with Sense 3.6 over the much better Sense 4.0 is beyond me...
Newt! U R Back !!!
This ROM got me interested in this whole thing in the first place...

Oh, cool! I tried this ROM when it first came out and really liked it, but since 3g is completely unusable I couldn't use it for more than several hours at a time (mainly while I was at work). I vowed to really make this my daily once it was complete (4g).
I had actually kinda forgotten about it since then.
4g in a sense 4 rom would be awesome.

I'm going to propose a controversial theory. Let me preface it by saying I believe newtoroot to be an excelent if not the best actual developer on our device. He brought Sense 4.0 before anyone and it was nearly flawless on the first drop. That being said, I think one of two things:
1. Newtoroot was playing us. (I doubt it, but someone suggested this and anything is possible.)
2. Newtoroot had high hopes, but it was more difficult than anticipated and is either taking longer or has been given up on.
Those being said. In his thread elsewhere he has stated that he is out of work and trying to find some. As well as dealing with the things that being out of work bring. So lots of personal stuff may indeed have gotten in the way.
I would say that if it were possible, or at least easier, one of the several other developers working on Sense 4.0+ roms would have attempted of done it already. I don't personally use WiMax often so it is not a big deal. I do appreactiate all the devs that work on our device. I usually swap phones every few months, but have kept my EVO 3D since the day it came out. Next summer when my 2 years is up I will upgrade to something with LTE hopefully, but till then I can still feed my flashing adiction and gets lots of performance out of this still powerful phone.
I do think it's a tough nut to crack. My theory is that's why we have Sense 3.6 and not Sense 4 - even HTC had trouble getting WiMAX and 3d working on 4 (or didn't want to put the resources behind it since both are relatively dead, at least for now).
It would have been nice to have 4G on it, although I don't even get 4G in my area..

Has anyone tried porting the stock, rooted, or otherwise Rom from the Nexus 4?
If no one has I will give it a shot. The two phones aren't all that different ours has the LTE on the chip set activated but I believe they have basically the same Qualcomm chip set.
Also if anyone knows more about it than I do feel free to inform me. I'm always up for a hacking adventure but I don't want to start something I'll never be able to finish.

I believe I've found a sort of attempt at what I'm looking to do.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2099784
This essentially turns the phone into a Nexus 4 so that essentially the firmware is tricked into thinking that our phone is the Nexus 4. It appears as if in order to put vanilla android on here I'll need to take pieces of this hack, and sort of finish it. Like getting the Capacitive buttons working, which will require a bit of kernel hacking. It appears as if reflashing the modem, which I think after I take apart the original firmware I can sort of shove in there, will fix the LTE, so says the post, and the issue of the SD card. This method may be more intensive than is necessary. However it's looking like this is all I've got to work with as of right now.
I'm going to try and make a Rom that's still ICS and as close to Vanilla as is possible, then I'll give moving it up to Jelly Bean a shot. Also this may take a while as I am in college, and I've only got a small amount of experience so this will sort of be a learning experience for me.
Also I'm not too familiar with using IRC. I'm used to doing stuff on my own. For my original Android phone, the HTC Inspire. The dev community over there was awesome, they're probably still going, but I'm more used to taking a base like CM 9 or CM 10 nightlies and making them my own for my phone. So this will be a hacking adventure. A hackventure if you will.

I've ported it to the 3d just to see, evervolv also i believe ported it, but it is very pre-alpha. No cmda, no calls. texts, or data. It is a huge ram hog.
it runs a stripped down version of cm-10 as a base then you flash the ubuntu touch to the sd. Theres a ton of work to do to even make this an alpha. If you can read the porting guide is very easy to follow.
you can follow the progress of all the devices as they are updated here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices#Work_in_progress
The CDMA Evo will probably get the ROM first. Development on the GSM evo is very slow.
I doubt we'll see a stable Ubuntu for this phone for a while.
I would love to see this but I am also unsure if I want to leave the Google play store entirely

Cpu too slow imo
I've seen some work going on here with CM 10.1, since the process of porting Ubuntu Touch is supposed to be the same (according to them) I figured I'd drop the link and hopefully gather some support for some work on a Ubuntu Touch Rom.
Here's the XDA article http://www.xda-developers.com/android/porting-ubuntu-touch-is-as-simple-as-building-cm/

I'm no dev by any means but I can help with some of my remedial skills if necessary.

Sounds like a fun project, just started working on it. I also recommend you read this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/ReleaseNotes
Keep in mind that it has no CDMA support at all(No data, calling, sms),has poor wifi support, and looking at the nexus 4 bugs; requires replacing the battery if it dies.
would be awesome but without having cdma its a bust for me i wouldn't use it... now on my tablet that is wi-fi only most definitely

A rom with no cdma support is like having a car without an engine, it's probably why a dev here hasn't picked it up yet either. But if someone does get it running, I'd play with it for like an hour and likely not touch it again.

This is exactly why I'm doing it, make a nandroid and call it a day.
Wrong forum, should be in Q/A
Isn't AT&T GSM? Why would CDMA matter for our device?
