how to install sony pc companion on ubuntu 11.04
You can't, although if you want to try you can always use virtualization (like Wine) and see if it works, but I doubt it will.
u can use VmWare and see if it works
You'll have to install virtualbox then create a windows virtual machine then you can install SEUS or the flashtool if you want. Check this thread:

Is there a rom for Android that implements windows 7?

So what you want is to be able to boot Win 7 on your phone?
You could always use a remote desktop client and get access to your PC.
ive seen it done on windows phones where they have dual boot. where when it boots up they can choose which system they want android or windows. can someone do that for android? and no i dont want the stupid windows 7 laucher. its not the same
Installed Ubuntu via VM virtualbox.However during installation it seems Ubuntu is not recognizing my OS to work along with.How can I get it to?
Previously i'm Italian so sorry for bad english.
Hi guys, I'm new in this forum and I'd like to install Ubuntu Touch 14.10 (utopic) on my Nexus 4, but I'm confused
Before the utopic release there were 2 .zip (trusty-preinstalled-touch-armel+mako.zip and trusty-preinstalled-touch-armhf.zip) and now in the "ubuntu-touch/daily-preinstalled/current" there is a tar.gz file.
Before of this I took the zips files, upload on CWM and install from there, but now? How how can I install the utopic-preinstalled-touch-i386.tar.gz?
I want install Ubuntu Touch as THE ONLY operative system, NO DUAL BOOT.
I use Windows and Android 4.3 (I read kitkat has problems with ubuntu touch).
Thanks a lot
I don't think there is a way to do it properly from Windows. The install instructions assume you're running a recent Ubuntu version on your PC.
However, you could try to install Ubuntu using the MultiROM Manager app, then delete Android and set Ubuntu as the default ROM in the recovery to skip the ROM selection screen. I can not guarantee you can boot into Ubuntu after deleting the Android ROM though.
Another way would be to run the desktop version of Ubuntu in a VM on your Windows machine and flash Ubuntu following the steps from the link above. Or you go a step further and setup your PC to dual-boot Ubuntu and Windows.
EDIT: Sadly, the possibility to install Ubuntu using zip files was removed some time ago. They're using img files now which cannot be flashed using CWM.
On your Windows Machine, install Virtual Box. Inside Virtual Box install Ubuntu...
Run the Ubuntu installation inside VB to install Ubuntu For Devices on your Nexus 4. Follow the Wiki: http://developer.ubuntu.com/start/ubuntu-for-devices/installing-ubuntu-for-devices/

Unbelievable this is!
So many people will now not use it because they can't install it. It is such an extreme abnormal thing to install a different none mainstream operating system on your computer to flash the phone !
I was trying for 2 days now to install it but frustrations went out of control and I fist-punched the nexus 4 and as result a broken screen!
I will never ever again in my life even look at this OS!
(Sorry guys I'm so over frustrated!)
