Well, as the title says, are there possibilities of an ubuntu touch port for Moto e?
I believe that some changes in kernel and device tree should be done to compile ubuntu touch.
I cannot do it myself as I lack the resourses to do so, but can someone do it?
There is a new porting guide if anyone is willing to try.
I start a study to port ubuntu touch to my moto e xt1021.
I am studying the requirements and preparing my environment to begin work.
let's see the evolution...

Thanks for trying to port Ubuntu for our phone!
I hope it can be ported without any trouble.

hi Ankit...
check this link..its from kaiser rom development...thought it might help us...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=470649
This Kaiser port don't work on Gene. They have a different hardware.
The first thing needed to run Android is a kernel that support our hardware.
A good place to start is here. They have a kernel (linwizard) that may boot on our device.
oh....very nice thought..U all r doing great job....
carry on...
@ ramersonw
is it like emulation or it will boot directly ???
r u interested in it so we can make it possible
It's a kind of emulation. The kernel will run on wimo using Haret. The linwizard project has a version of Haret that works in the Gene processor(TI OMAP850). It's like a vmware prog.
To run linux on our device we have to:
1st. we have to make the Haret work with the processor of the gene (stable)
2nd. make the Linux kernel works with the hardware of the gene (write drivers for touch screen, cellular radio , bluetooth radio, etc)
If we have it, we can run Android, Opie, GPE any flavor of linux for mobile.
I'm very interested in port linux (Android) to gene, but is not an easy task and will also consume very much time.

but i think if we use emulsion I think we cannot use or get full power of linux or android
but let's start with emulation then we think about boot diretly
so lets start with android I will start this project this week and post update
we can make it possible
anybody interested ¿???????

count me in...i am ready
hi ankit
when you say `count me in' what implications does it have...hehehe just in case...
im also VERY interested in a faster stabler gene...and i feel linux is the way to go...BUT ive recetly used windows 7 on a dual boot with my vista system and i tell you it is FAST...in fact not only faster than vista but even XP on a 512 mb ram system!!!
...also i must admit it is MUCH slicker and faster than the LinuxMint 6.0 based on ubuntu 8.10 which i had running on my system!
...what im trying to say here is that if MSoft does to WM& what they have done to Vista in Windows 7, i think we r better off using WM7 than linux...for all practical purposes!

Not necessarily. Linux is probably the most stable OS after SCO, if I am not wrong. And it is also the most light weight OS as well. I guess you can run Linux on a P II 450 MHz system with all the goodies with fair speed . So imagine what it can do to your Gene .

Ya, Uske liye thindigit forum hi kafi hai, kyun ankit?
Linux vs Windows
Ofcourse, I don't have any intention, otherwise why would own to WM Devices ?
One of them would have been Moto Ming . What I was saying is since a few you guys (the real developers) are thinking about porting Linux to Gene, there is no point arguing about sticking to WM for the heck of it, come on you people are developers, and once you get your hands on source code, may be you will make it even better than WM! Hope you are getting my point (I am not a developer though).
ubuntu can be designed from the scratch for any arm based device .
this is just a humble request to senior devs to check it out and try to port it on our wave.
even if modem would not work for arm ubuntu it would be useful in other aspects like usb hosting, full pc based firefox experience,full doc editing,and something new that our wave would have.

even android porting is on half stage. I think dev's are gonna handle the android thing. Maybe they will after android but Android has priority

Well, a working Ubuntu port can be easier than the Android, as one don't have to pay attention to the modem (however determining the battery level still would be a problem...). But I run some rounds with the current kernel to make console available and all my atepts failed, I was not able to get it work... What would you do without console?

Hmmm i think all guys are busy in porting android and making voluntas browser etc also they have their own life so let them work on other things first.
Also did u tried ubuntu through badadroid ?? Did it worked.??
Hello, I am New Here. How Should I Start?
So This is my First post on this forum.
I am Interested In Making Custom ROM for Android Devices. How Should I start? I already Have Linux (Ubuntu 13.10 x64) Set up for this and ready. And also How to Flash a phone. And does android have Dead USB Flashing method.
Device I have in mind is Sony Xperia Acro S. I don't own it yet.
I am a Symbian Developer. I am even have a Developer Status on DailyMobile Forum. I even have my own CFW (Custom Firmware). But since that Platform is Dying, I decided to Move to Android.

well you need to learn all the android basics, which can take a year to catch onto. And sense you've just started, you need to learn what root is and that sort of stuff. And to fix errors in source, you need experience with source, git, java programming and C++ coding. Also need experience with working with kernels and simple issues like fixing bootloops, and also know how to make device trees and kernel tree/repo and how to use github. And most of all you'll need a phone of your own to test builds, because the first time you build is never stable and it takes a while to fix things such as wifi, nfc, etc.
But you'll catch on Best of luck!
Was Wondering as We got All Sources and a Good Development
Why not Somebody Port Ubuntu Touch or Firefox OS
as Both the Operating Systems Sources are Available
I Myself might have done it But I'm Out of FUP ;_;

Ubuntu touch its an good idea
This is a great idea and I'd love to see Ubuntu touch and get my hands on it
I tried sailfish os to port but it fails because the cm12.1 sorce code is not fully available and this makes it difficult for ubuntu you need cm10 or 11 resources , therefore it is almost impossible
but not perhaps maybe even
Maybe it east for me too much paperwork
Actually, Ubuntu touch is great idea though. But it's complex cuz it's need older android source code like jelly bean and kitkat source. Which mean it's impossible I think (my friend said that)
PS: Firefox OS has been dead last year.
View attachment 3872464 View attachment 3872465I again sat down at my Sailfish os port and have fixed some errors and comical he it at build without breaking what was always my problem one can hope maybe it will work
Can someone manage to build a ubuntu touch rom for our xt
And now ,GSI UB ports is also available
I didn't understood about the "halium kernel patch"
So please can someone port ubuntu
Kernel just needs the correct merges/patches to boot the GSI. I agree I'd love to play around with this a bit.
So, there's no interest in this it seems? That's to bad, especially for people who don't bother using Gapps

There are what I'd consider detailed guides, but I'm no Dev. I was just reading up on Halium porting because I'd love to at least give Ubuntu Touch a test run before biting the bullet and buying the Pine Phone.
Is it possible to use Ubuntu touch as a daily driver if you don't have one of those pixel phones that are supported?
