For anybody using Ubuntu on their phone or tablet already, I've made some small improvements to my XDA app: https://plus.google.com/u/0/+MichaelHall119/posts/ef1TEbymiei
Should be available to install/update on the phones soon.

Just found out about hovernote. As a student who spends many hours researching I always dreamed of having a multi screen like the note 10.1 , unfortunately I bought the p7500 before the note came out.
Spent a few weeks trying to research onskreen cornerstone but that didn't go very far
Then I found out about floating apps. Apps that float on any screen and make multitasking so much easier
You can find it in the play store

This isn't the same kind of multi-tasking that is available on the Galaxy Note.
I thinks is better. With standout being an open source now there are many opportunities. Floating apps will take Android to the next level. There is floating videos, floating Facebook and l bet more will come. The developer who created software got hired by google recently so expect true multitasking abilities out soon .

There's actually quite a few good floating apps available
You should have a look at aircalc, darkcalc, performance monitoring (by chainfire) and popup browser. Floating notes is also great

I use both hovenote & aircalc. They make working so much easier. Only thing I am still looking for is a floating calendar (like stock Samsung).
Id the Samsung mini app bar with calculator not enough?

Its got root! Now I don't have to switch file handlers going from my Toshi to my Kindle. Also works on my GoogleTV box. Does not work on my Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator (but we all know how quirky vintage Martian tech can be).
Yeah, I like how it's set up as "root ready" or whatever... No need to go into settings and check those options. Also, lovin' the 1 - 8 page tabs and the easy access to pics and music. And much more...

Hi,
I noticed that inside the Ubuntu touch browser your not able to view/watch videos from YouTube or other website.
Is there a way to fix that ?
Or maybe the devellopement is just not there yet?

Ubuntu is in alpha stage. You can wait for 2014 for an stable version.

The Ubuntu Touch web browser will not support Flash videos, but it should support any modern site that provides HTML5 videos.
However, HTML5 video support is still in development, but if you are interested you can track the progress in this bug report: launchpad.net/bugs/1197699 (sorry for the non-clickable link, I'm too new to XDA to be able to post links).
Just wondering, is the current Ubuntu Touch supporting a full desktop when connected to a monitor like through an HDMI?
I saw videos from Ubuntu on this feature and wanted to know if it working?

It's not working yet. Canonical has proven that the concept can work by its Ubuntu for Android project. After the release of version 14.04 two weeks ago, they will start work on bringing Unity 8 (the desktop environment, current desktop version is 7 while the phone version is already Unity 8) and the Mir display server to the desktop. Afterwards, it should theoretically be possible to do that stuff. Additionally, they will continue to improve their SDK for the development of Ubuntu apps which already work on all platforms (phone, tablet and desktop) and adjust to screen size.
The whole concept is what they call Convergence.

Some of their ideas for convergence are quite awesome. The recent news has been that they have stopped the Ubuntu for Android project. I have been wondering since where their views on complete integration, their "one device to rule the all" direction, is heading.

Yep, I totally agree, full convergence will be awesome. I'm eagerly waiting for it.

It's great on both PC and mobile. However, on mobile it still has a long way to go until it reaches the state when it can be used by the average end-user. Keep in mind that it's making progress very fast though.
If you have a chromecast using xbmc then you know what a pain it is to switch players. I've developed an app that modifies the xml for you. Run the app and select the player of your choice then xbmc will stream to it. The app is functional in its current state with a predefined set of external players. Has option to select from installed apps (not yet programmed). It's ugly as sin, not polished yet.
It's very basic now but it works for me, I wanted to see if there's a demand for such an app. I'll post the alpha app soon if it's useful to anyone else.

I'd like to try your app out on my nexus 7

Only the preloaded list works currently (the populating list of apps hasn't been programmed yet). The predefined list I got from the internet so I can't guarantee all package names are correct. Let me know if you run into issues or how it's working please.

Also, I apologize for the appearance, it has no icon yet and uses a very simple layout with one button. I'm planning on creating graphics for it and a nice layout.
