The new ubuntu dualboot by Canonical - G2 General

This looks pretty interesting as nexus 5 should be supported: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/developer-preview-lets-you-dual-boot-ubuntu-and-android/
I'll take a good look at this and possibly even try the dualboot in a few hours when I get home. But I'd like to know if anyone else has already tried it.
Thanks and merry christmas

Not to be the bearer of Bad news but isn't this ONLY for Nexus 4?

It's only tested by the time of release with nexus 4

Quick discussion. Nexus 7 or Kindle Fire HD

I know there are no "door buster" deals with either of these tablets, but I don't work tomorrow and want to buy one. Was hoping there were people in the rezound community who own one of these and can chime in with their own personal feelings. I've done a fair amount of research and I'm torn. The locked bootloader if the kfhd is the main thing making me lean towards the N7.
Discuss!!

I would go for the nexus 7. Everybody I know loves their N7. You get a great JellyBean experience and guaranteed updates.
Nexus 7. Period.

I picked up a Nexus 7 32gb about two and a half weeks ago at Wal-Mart and couldn't be happier. I debated about the Kindle HD and Samsung Galaxy tabs but after much research I decided to go with the Nexus 7. I'm already running JB 4.2 and get awesome battery life.
I sync my N7 with Calibre on my PC for my daily news feeds. I used to use my Kindle keyboard but that's being gifted to mom for Christmas.
When I'm out I tether to my Galaxy S3 so no worries about searching for Wi-Fi.

Definitely the nexus 7. The development available is amazing, and everything else about it is just perfect. I wasn't that excited about it. I honestly only bought it because I heard it was such a big deal and saw the preorder people ripping google a new one so I went to staples and they had them in stock so I bought it.
I have an iPad 2 and a nice transformer prime and do some development on the prime, but I accidentally fell in love with the nexus 7 because of the device itself, the convenience, and especially the development.

The best thing I did to my wife's Kindle Fire was root it and install JB on it. Being stuck on that Amazon app store sucks. I know you can sideload apps, it's easier just being able to pull up the Play store and be done with it.

Personally, I think its perfect. I got it to mount on my treadmill so I can watch movies while running. And for that I think its the perfect size. After using it for a day I think I prefer the 7 over the 10.

Well, it's of course an improvement, but I wouldn't say a vast one, at least compared to a nexus 7 which has a 1280x800 on a 7"!
If you consider, for instance, another android tablet with 10" and a resolution of 1280x800 then it's a vast improvement!

I wonder if its possible to get a port of Ubuntu phone from the nexus 4 to the OG.
And if so would you have to have the nexus conversion done.

I did this earlier today, and Ubuntu touch looks promising. It's no where near ready for daily use though. But that is to be expected with a developer preview.

....that's your personal opinion. I think that Ubuntu for phones will essentially be more powerful than android and will bring a variety of new possibilities to the table along with a cool new interface. The only negative thing I could think of is not being able to use android apps.
Wait lol was that sarcasm?
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda premium
New interface may be fun to tinker with I guess. The phone ecosystem is all about the apps, though.
All I see is a potentially more bloated os, much worse power management, less apps, etc. But I may be completely wrong.
Regardless it will be interesting to see if this and mozilla's phone os end up being worth a crap.

[ROM] [TEST] [AOKP] [4.2.2] Windroid 8

Closed
Getting "Error install aborted". Finding a fix now. Release 1 might get delayed.
Pushing Release 1 til finished. Getting errors on flash.
Turns out that it's Ubuntu that's causing issues with compression. I am going to complie on my sisters laptop later. So check tonight for the file.
Heres the dealo. First release is going to combine apps from play store. Second release is changing boot animation and Ringtones. Third is change font and default system sounds. Forth is going to be bug fixes and change it to a stable. Fifth is going to add a change of first boot looks to make my rom special and different then a Modded AOKP. Sixth I add a custom status bar to make us special. Seventh bug fixes and stable it. Eighth is settings menu is going to be changed to Windows 8 phone. Ninth is bug squashing. And that's the planned minium by ideas.
Update! Gonna combine all first 3 releases into 1. That way less flashing. Follow my Google + account: [email protected] for updates on the project. First release in 7 days (9.27). Loving the support!

Your opinion. I posted this around 2 hours ago so people want it as you can see. Lots of responces in a short time
340 views in 9 hours! Impressive. Seems like people like Windows 8 phone. So because of the interest, if anyone will like to donate to expand support to multiple devices. I'll set up PayPal later. Next device to buy is Nexus 5. I'll preorder the device when it's announced and complile on there as well. I want this rom to be as popular as CM! Ambitious but will happen with your support.

It's going to start as a themed AOKP rom and turn into an epic rom with original status bar to settings menu. You have to start somewhere. It's my first rom as well. So first few releases are themed AOKP then turns into a great and original rom. I want this to turn into a perfect and original rom like CM. Starting small.

I'm poor man lol. The thing is I need a windows phone to match the ROM 100 percent accurately. Goal is 85 for a low end unlocked phone. I'm setting up a kick Starter later tonight. First release of the rom is set for 9.27. It's early but I'm committed to providing a rom made for accuracy. 85 is needed to make it original because I am coding parts of the ROM and I want a windows phone for a base start. Kickstarter link come in later.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
This is the dealo for real. The ROM can go as far as pre made things put together. Without a windows phone for a base, I can't code my stuff. I'm going to get a windows phone soon so until then first release is just pre-made stuff. Kickstarter is to hard to put my rom on it (they want to much info). So I need to buy the phone when I get into some money. Sorry but thats the only way. If anyone have a windows phone laying round they mind giving, then perfect. But Yup. The project is still going. But can only go so far. Love ya XDA!

Most demos are real phones but in a special mode. If you can hand one off to me then I can start coding if not then I need to wait for christmas. Any Windows 8 phone will do. Testing a bunch of apps and setting now. So far going well for a 1 man thing (My other friend is busy with work)
