Now from what I've seen Ubuntu can be run on the Desire, how about the new Chrome OS? I know google haven't released there version but there are stable versions released e.g. Chrome OS Flow. I've seen it run on an iPad with great difficulty , why not on an android phone?
ubuntu can be run on a desire?!

Yes it can!
Considering that it would have to be online all the time.. Meh, but highly possible.
Probably would have to wait until the official official release though.
Oh, and since Chrome OS is going to pioneer the "disposable netbook", would chrome OS on the desire pioneer the "disposable smartphone"?

Ubuntu Natty 11.04 running on Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 with flash support. I made two videos with instructions on how to do it.
Your Tab must be rooted and you have to have a kernel with loop device support.
I use official rom XXJQ3 with CF-Root XXJQ1 kernel.

Go Launcher EX with custom Glass Sense Theme
sadly, this has been done before. not trying to sound negative though some people might find it useful.
there was a project at one point where they were trying to get it to run native, but idk where it stands anymore.
i'm more interested in getting ICS functioning like it should if they get anything other than ubuntu running natively on the tab and it runs great, i'm all for it. ubuntu is bloated to hell now and i dont like the unity interface at all. i've been using MINT as of lately and i've been liking it so far
Why would anyone try to run two Linux operating systems at the same time on the cramped little Galaxy Tab is beyond my comprehension.
Still... seeing some of you guys are keen on connecting though a socket to another OS using your Tabs, try getting into a windows using Teamviewer (anyone can do it, no skill or risk involved and free of charge!). Or, if you feel adventurous, you can set up a VNC server on Windows, Linux (any distro) and establish a VNC connection directly to your desktop/laptop over wifi or 3/4G.
That should run at least twice as fast and provide the same results without your Tab heating up and eating a lavish 1A/h...
Peace,
C.

it doesn't have a gui you have to install it yourself. I installed gnome because i hate unity too.
I'm running latest cm7.2 nightly, and can't download the new Firefox from play store. It says your device is incompatible. Is anyone able to download it.
Yeah looks like it's not compatible or restricted to some device. I'd look for an apk and try to sideload it. lol
Something's different compared to 7.1 - it works on there. Haven't figured it out yet, assume some form of market config.
Anybody got the apk?

The following devices have compatible CPUs, but may have other problems running Firefox. These bugs may be fixed in future versions:
Acer Liquid E - Firefox crashes on startup with Android 2.1 (bug 637424)
HTC Desire - Firefox causes reboots on this device (bug 757920)

Not sure why you would purchase a ONE to run Windows on it... but i guess that would be cool
If you don't like android they have some good deals on windows phones because they are not selling very well.
Who buys AN HTC ONE with ANDROID 4.2.2 and ANDROID 4.3 coming, and doesn't want Android?
HTC Sense 5.0 Android 4.2.2 is magnificent..
and Sense 5.5 Android 4.3 only got better..
The battery life is redicuulously great, "Do Not Disturb Mode" dank as all hell.
I could be wrong but besides AOSP, Sense is pretty much the only thing you will be seeing on the Verizon HTC One.
oh, prob MIUI too

Guys I just heard that razer came out with their gaming edition tablet and as much as I love using Android, I was just thinking is it possible to port the windows 8 desktop version they have running? Coz android is great but being able to play desktop games on the phone like WoW without desktop hosting software would be awesome, would really change the performance of the games and was just wondering will this be possible, thanks in advance
P. S I have seen the posts about the wp8 software port but this is the desktop version so I put up a new question, thanking u guys in advance

Guys found 2 things that could help with this dilemma, one is a Windows Linux emulator app that can emulate the Os provided we have a powerful enough phone, the other is winulator an app that allows running Windows games on Android by emulating the games. Sorry for not posting the apps but they are available on play store

Hello everyone! I just saw some news about this phone releasing tomorrow, and the Intel Atom processor caught my attention, as it has a 64-bit processor. I remember, long ago in the days of the very first Galaxy S, there was a way to run Windows 98 through emulation using QEMU and Bochs, however it was PAINFULLY slow since it was emulating the x86 architecture from ARM. Since this phone will not have that step to go through, does that mean it would be possible to run a fully-featured version of Windows on it, such as Windows 7? (or XP, 8, or 8.1, I just stated 7 for reference) I used to have one of the even older Sony Vaio UMPCs when they were cool, but they're quite slow for any modern tasks. I've dreamed of any kind of successor to it, so that I could have a device running the full Windows experience in my pocket (versus in my bookbag with a laptop or tablet).
Thanks in advance for the replies!
I am a current owner and hoping for the same thing. It does have the 64 bit Atom in it, so in theory, it should be possible!
Sent from my ASUS ZenFone 2 using XDA mobile app
in theory its possible.. except you won't have any driver support from asus whatsoever
so... basically everything wouldn't work properly..
i.e. EMMC storage
touchscreen
sensorhub
gps
cellular radio
you get the idea
Couldn't we write the drivers ourselves? I know it isn't an easy task, but it seems as though it should be possible.

For installing steam and play CS GO on my phone x'D
well.. may be it would be nice to have a working linux chroot with a working X server (with audio also) so we can use native linux programs on our little diamond. I know also that it has hdmi out, so we can use it like a pc with bt keyboard\mouse or microUSB with usb keyboard\mouse and hdmi out
I did that on my old htc ONE m7, working debian chroot on hdmi monitor, but the problem is always the X Server.. i was using VNC and it doesn't support audio
sorry for bad english

To have a way to run a full Windows installation that can fit in the pocket, without purchasing legacy UMPCs such as the: http://www.amazon.com/Sony-VGN-UX280P-4-5-inch-Laptop-Processor/dp/B000IALP88
I'm honestly pretty sad that they discontinued the UMPC concept, I wish it would have stayed.
tbh, I'm interested in seeing if we can get Wine compiled for a chroot'd linux on these beasties. If we can get that working, I could see fully working XP applications at some point.
There's a really good X Server already, XServer-XSDL, that's free on the Play store & plenty of chroot linux builds out there too.

About how fast is XServer as far as realtime applications go? Since it uses tunneling it seems like there would be some kind of delay, but I have no experience in such areas. If not, then getting Wine to run could open up a lot of possibilities!
XServer-XSDL is real-time since there's no tunneling. I've used it on a couple of my phones. Start up the chroot'd linux on the phone, start up XServer-XSDL, ssh into the chroot'd linux, export DISPLAY=:0 & start up your favorite windows manager. I like lxde or fvwm, personally.

So far have xserver-xsdl installed as the X server, installed debian Jessie to my sd card's 20 ish gig ext 4 partition using Linux deploy. Apt-get wine. Follow wine setup for first boot. I'll test some executables tomorrow.
Another thing is cpuinfo shows the vmx extension, so we could probably run qemu-kvm as well.

Edit:
Wine works fine and starts up applications okay and is pretty snappy. BUT it looks like OpenGL in Jessie may be messed up, so either need to see if Mesa has been fixed and recompile or go back to an older distro.
Edit 2:
We may not be able to get hardware accelerated wine with the proprietary powervr video card. Mesa glx shows no support and es2_info shows support but es2 gears won't run.
Well that's not looking good :/
