Has anyone used webtop much and installed much linux desktop software? Although I'm not able to get a new phone at the moment I'm wondering if it's possible to install and run an NXclient on this device. They already have a citrix client on there which achieves similar ends but in a very corporate fashion.
I'd just like to be able to access a linux cloud node or my home desktop with the super efficient nx protocol.
I really like the direction this device is pushing things. I've been waiting for this kind of convergence for a long long time. My entire computing energy footprint could be significantly reduced. Once a Quad Core Tegra3 version of this kind of device is available it will deserve the title nirvana device.
Surely I'm not such a pioneer ?
I was looking for someone that got an rdp client working. It seems that anything compiled for arm should work given you are on the full ubuntu/debian mod.

I'm really interested on finding a 7 inch version of the Prime. With or without a dock is ok with me. I'm mostly looking for the quad core tegra3 with the quality feel of the Prime.
I've seen rumors of a google collaboration, but is that the only hope that I have? Also, as much ad I would love a keyboard dock it's not required for my purposes.
I'm trying to help the opentablets.org guys get Plasma Active working on the Prime and would love to add a 7 inch version to experiment with.
Thank you all in advance for your help. And I sincerely apologize if I've overlooked this question being answered already as I've been unable to find this info.
Google.

Ubuntu Just released this video showing off their new OS for tablets. In the video, they are using what looks like a Nexus 10. But what do you guys think? Would you use this if we were able to put it on our TouchPad? Don't know if that will be possible. But just asking to see what you guys think of it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h384z7Ph0gU&hd=1
EDIT: Actually, I dont think our TouchPad meets the minimum requirements. But I guess we will see.
Good article on Engadget as well... looks promising
Just read this too, on omgubuntu.com really hoping it can be ported!

If this is running on top of the latest version of Ubuntu for ARM and seeing that there are working versions of Ubuntu out there for the Touchpad, then it seems possible we would get this assuming its source code is released and someone is willing to port it. Their requirements are a bit steep (2GB RAM and Cortex A15 processor), but seeing that they are providing a test version for the Nexus 7 which is 1GB of RAM and quad core A9, then the Touchpad may be fine (not sure if the Touchpad is A8 or A9 or if that would even matter)

I dont believe its running on the top of anything. Its its own OS. I'm hoping it could be ported to the TouchPad. I'd like to try it out.
Apps...
1. If my app isn't on Ubunto, well...
2. Webos was there...
3. But i think, windows 7 will be my last tie to Microsoft, if my app is on Ubunto.

Actually the Touchpad has an A7. Here is a link comparing versions: http://www.bdti.com/InsideDSP/2011/11/17/ARM
That said, I like the new layout and just hope the Touchpad can run it smoothly. There is already a functional alpha of Ubuntu 13.04 for the touchpad (in the Other Development forum), so I can't imagine it will not happen.

That is normal Ubuntu without the tablet interface but that alpha works really nice though. I'm an Ubuntu desktop user since 2008.
i would so love this. I want to check out this new mobile ubuntu so bad and would rather flash my touchpad than my galaxy nexus.
Here's hoping someone picks it up and makes it happen.
This is a good video of the OS running really well on the Nexus 10.

Straight from Ubuntu's website, details are coming tomorrow about porting Ubuntu Mobile to other devices:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Porting
Also of significance is a bunch of Cyanogenmod hardware code showing up on: http://phablet.ubuntu.com/gitweb
I wonder if this means it will be easier to compile for devices supported by Cyanogenmod, which would make a Touchpad port much easier.

Its the real deal. You can get this on any Nexus device right now. Just be aware, its not fully functional. Its just a preview to show off what it will feel and look like when it is done. And if your a developer, it gives you something to test your apps out on. Thats it.
Hopefully, once the OS really matures and becomes functional, someone will build it for us, seeing as its just as easy as building CM 10.1

Sent from Mr Z's HP Touchpad
The only problem with that is that we don't have CM10.1
CM10.1 is completely do-able for the TP. Many other devices using the same chip set are now into nightly builds. Its just a matter of setting it up for the TP. CN already as an alpha build in 4.2.1 for testing.

10.1
I can not wait for 10.1 will be nice to be able to port Ubuntu to the touchpad.
Oh I'm excited and love a beautiful interface!
Pretty solid so far and you never know...the dHacker29 and Hashcode have already begun work on Ubuntu for the Droid Bionic and to me this means anything is possible.
All I need now is a way to running something like Safestrap and boot multiple builds on my Touchpad with 32gb of storage. I could see running webOS, JB, and Ubuntu for Tablets on my Touchpad. Sorli...
Hi i've seen the jetson tk1 a k1 processor development board,now i know it runs linux fine but i want it for android gaming.So i am wondering if anyone own one and/or can tell me should i buy it for the sole purpose of android os gaming,i am concerned of shelling out 200 pounds for a device i may never be able to run android os on.I can't help but think there's a catch like a lack of a chip or something potentialy hindering the chances of loading an android rom on it.I'm debating getting it next fortnights time if anyone thinks it can be and definately will be done i'm sold.:laugh:

Yes, modifying the linux kernel for ubuntu to run android was quite easy, took less than an hour...
Rootfs was even easier, took 15 minutes....
booted first try...
But getting Cuda in android will have to wait for official Nvidia support.

Hi, im also interested in Android for Jetson TK1 (I already ordered one, I like Ubuntu very much but it doesnt have many games compatible with ARM). If I understood well, you have booted Android on it? You can post it maybe on Nvidia developer forums dedicated for jtk1 or make thread here on xda? Thanks

There is a noob guide on xda featuring instructions for building your first android ROM. That however doesnt mean Jetson TK1 could bave Android ROM from that guide

For all the developers on this board, what if you had...
a higher powered Mini
AOSP, let's say Marshmallow or better
all the dev tools you'd need to get to work
...what would you, could you dream to develop this computer to do?
TV box? Gaming console? Android PC? Smart home device?
Please share with us your brainstorm ideas on this. Have fun with it and don't think about what's already out on the market... think out of the box, reach for the stars, and all the other cliches you can think of. Please share in the comments below.
Thanks!
A combination of all the above!
Smart nuclear powered anti-starship laser guns.
Just kidding, possibly a wireless router or a media server.
well I like something like win 7 ultimate. with a htpc media center,good gaming and nice professional os with good look.
not the current flat look but something more 3d like seven was.
but I am sure you prefer a idea for your Android stuff...
so what about jide making intel cherry trail devices? those could be nice for TV box or computer? or good snapdragon with long term support?

Or MediaTek, but force them to give you updated kernel sources and release them to the public.
Just saying because MTK chips last longer, and perform better (except for GPU performance) than counterpart Snapdragon chips.

not mediatek they hide their resources sometime. and absolutely not Allwinner their chip are ****s... Rockchip or amilogic S is OK in the worse case scenario...
NVIDIA tegra are pricey but good for all in ones.especialy with Google support behind.
Or you can cheat on the support by using same Chips as Android one phones, nexus. or pixel..so no source hiding.

Did you not see what I had witten about forcing MediaTek to release their kernel sources?
Rockchip also hides many of their kernel sources, and are a pain to work with, (I had to use an ancient computer from over a decade ago, and had to install Windows XP, since it wouldn't work with anything newer).
Allwinner are a solid choice, since they are much more open with their sources, and are much easier to work with, it's just that not many developers work with them, but those that do, testify to them being much easier to work with.
About Amlogic, I have no idea.
Nvidia, are really good, but are even worse than MediaTek and Rockchip at releasing kernel sources, so unless it's the same chipset as the Nexus 9, it needs to be out of the question.
But please no BIG.little processors, they are great on paper, however in the real world, while they deliver, they don't deliver even close to what they should, ending up being a waste of money, since the worth:cost ratio is much farther.

the thing about big little... nowadays with the failure of TV boxes and the slow death of tablets most big company are targeting the phone market.
and big little is mostly for phones ...
but I think the only problem is not targeting the lower end or not using too old than 2 years chips and sometime it is just better to spend a lil more for higher support and better performances.
on Nvidia side almost all chips have been open sourced by Google long time ago.
the tegra x1 in pixel c the tegra 2 3 4 and k1 in nexus tablets... so yea....

Ah sorry, I had checked it.
And it looks like they have their own code repository now, so things have definitely changed.

I would build my own version of Android!
Dual boot as much as possible!
Publish my Project ROC quicker
What about using the mini along with wireless display, and use them as a home security/automation hub? Allowing many apps and already existing "connected" devices like Philips HUE, WiFi Cameras, etc to connect and be configured for automation. Then assigning older android devices to pair and be set in various rooms, to be used as wifi motion detectors.
Well as a developer, I'd improve the way I interact with my devices as an user.
Chromecast and Android Home devices are great but they're not how the future should actually look. In my opinion Google is limiting hardware on those devices to keep prices low and make them impossible to run upcoming software, more powerful software.
Okay let's say we have an AIO device (similar to Android Home) but with a few sets of functionality baked in:
- Network attached Storage: Store all the things you want to share with the family (photos, music, movies...)
- Network attached Storage: Stream whatever is hosted in the box to the "cast enabled devices around the device"
- Network attached Storage: Synced folders between family devices per user request (similar to how resilio sync works)
- Network attached Storage: Remote access for downloads (you're out of home but you start a download that will be waiting for you when you arrive)
- Assistant: Always On Keyword detection
- Assistant: Customized context-aware commands per user inside the network (If John or his devices are not connected to the Wireless network or discoverable through BLE don't suggest content that he might like)
- Assistant: TV as a remote interface of the device with a dashboard, the device microphone as a IO device of the TV.
- Assistant: Device state awareness, notify when battery is low on x device.
BRAINSTORM -- What if Jide actually focused on getting the projects they currently have out working to perfection instead of coming out with new semi broken products?! Then, when everything worked as best as possible, Jide could come out with new stuff that makes the current goodness even better!!!! Wow, what a novel concept!
If i had it, (and if i can), I'll bring the android code and libs to windows,, it's just like WINE on Ubuntu, and isn't like the ancient emulator which is kill my usage
So,, yes... I'll open the play store just when i click it in my windows PC's, installing apk just in Program Files (Android) folder, using linux or android command in cmd (like bash actually) and getting a root access with just allow the UAC
