[Q] Installing Ubuntu on Android (Xperia Arc LT15i) - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Searching around the web I found this ( http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/android ) interesting title and got very interested in it, unfortunately didn't find any download link or description on how to install or something similar. Please I'm very interested in this, hope others wish to install something except Android too, cause I'm really tired of stock laggy rom.

Ubuntu had stated that ubuntu for android is only available to participating OEM. So u get the feature out of the box.. Something similar to Motorola webtop os.. I am also interested in it but I guess u have to wait until the end of the year for it. Currently the are ways to install ubuntu as a virtual machine. But it look difficult to install. And I doubt think arc hardware can Handel it

read the requirement first mate..DUAL CORE
from the ARC

Thanks for quick reply guys, yea I saw that it need dual-core, but I think Arc's hardware will run Ubuntu, if my old crappy laptop can which is 1.2Ghz and 256Mb ram, I think my Arc will do too.

[PROJECT][PORT] Cyanogenmod 9 for P1010

Hi.
Let's try to port a Cyanogenmod 9 for our tab while Motafoca do other things?
Well, I did a boot.img compatible with ICS.
Download there:
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B05nAw_Xwk31VS1fbGJtazJSZ09VRks3SmpQdHRhUQ
Link for the tutorial:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/7577-ics-porting-guide-by-siulmagic/
I think that the best ROM for port is the Defy, because have the same chipset and use gingerbread kernel.
Link for download the ROM:
http://tanguy.forumdoandroid.com/ics/CM9-ICS-MR0-111213-jordan.zip
Actually, I got just status 0 (I think that is something about update-binary) but let's try!
Any news or something like this, I'll post here and a thread that I create on MADTeam forum.
Looked at something like this but there is a lot more needed to get v this working on our puppies and is not for the novice to try
Biggest issues is porting drivers and recompiling everything so no small task
Sent from my LT26i using XDA
Any progress with CM9?
I would love to have a Tab, not a big phone
Great that you initiated this!
Ow. I dont have more status 0. Now, its flashed, but when reboot it comes back to CWM.
Why no dev seems to care about this tab?

^that was true until recently, last time i talked with motofoca, he said he has a p1010 now as is working on getting cm9 to boot on it, idk about the status but since he has the tab now, he's working on it
^ Not totally really, the tab is from Beackman who lead the tab for him. :/ but is the "same"
and i'm waiting for the great news!!!!!!!!!
And here too thanks for organising that lend and hopefully making this possible.

ICS for galaxy y: Probably we're going in the wrong direction????

Hello everyone, I'm associated with custom roms for sgy. Recently I met a person, who had successfully installed an sgy custom rom in galaxy ace. These two phones are more similar than we ever thought. So, why not the other way around??? Interested devs could actually modify ace ics roms and install it on y, instead of fiddling with galaxy mini????
Fantastic idea, I know, bit not improbable ...Coz I still have the Guy's pm ....

you might be not aware the problem. here is the analogy. i have two notebook. both have x86 cpu, both have same lcd size and same resolution. my acer one use nvidia gpu and my asus one use ati. i can install windows 7 on both, but i need different set of driver to make both running without issue. and the problem not only for gpu, but almost for everything. the only one component where both can share same driver is cpu.
in phone world the situation event much worse. in pc world we have ibm-pc compatible. none in phone world. different type using different component and different soc. armv6 only cover cpu side. the other side completely different.

yes but drivers are available for your ati gpu, your soundcard..
it will be something like a 'Frankalaxy' yes, but it would definitly be a start!
btw people must be aware of this but anyway here is an article on freeyourandroid/guide/porting-android .com [remove the space pls]
maybe this could help.
and yes the galaxy ace is closer to galaxy y due to generation of production
i.e mini/gio are old phones while ace and y are in the same generation.
Would request someone to try...
I'm from a pure symbian background and still learning android dev so....
would love if someone could lead to me some heads up article

[Discussion] : do you want Firefox OS on xperia s?

As the title said, do you want Firefox OS, on sxs?
Sony released the kernel(Linux 3.0.8) and system source of firefoxOS for xperia e , so porting should be possible
What do you think?

Porting isn't possible. It's impossible to port kernel from device which has different SoC. We have dual-core when E has single core.

You read it wrong. Only the system is from xperia e. The kernel will be using xperia s kernel. And since Firefox os uses Linux kernel, I think it can be ported.

ooh.. you just dont want to say that you're wrong right? j/k.
well, the devs have source for xperia s kernel (the 3.0.8 one, from Sony, and/or cm10 kernel from fxp and others), and there is source from firefox os too. and you know, there is ubuntu touch for xperia s in the development thread right? it can be done, so why this (firefox os) is impossible?
still, i dont know for sure though, as im not a dev or anything. just using my logics

The kernel is very similar (90-95%) to the stock sony kernel , but it has firefox os patch and xperia E Soc(msm7227a) drivers .... I'll only include all the xperia s drivers and adapt the rom to xperia s hardware ... It's a dirty way , but I need first to get it booting , and next we can improve and fix it.

Yes.
It will be useless i think, you will loose your time to do it.
We already have too many great roms, what are working really good, and i think (that's my opinion) we do not need firefox os.
if its work why not
its always nice to have another new things
if you want any help pm me
It would be nice to try FirefoxOS on our phone
Firefox OS would be amazing! I heard rumors that they use the same drivers from Android. Would anyone have a clue where to begin?

FirefoxOs share a lot of part of the HAL from android.
We have to begin from the kernel, after we get it boot, lets start adapt the rom
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
It would be nice to try it out - it's always nice to have options to choose from. That being said, i doubt Firefox OS will catch on because even Ubuntu Phone OS will have wider audience and a bigger usage base.

depends on which gnex you have. i think the gsm versions are available in the ubuntu touch website. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Install
if you have the toro or toroplus (cdma) we have to wait for some good soul to port them.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think I saw on their page that nothing telephony related is really working right now, which kind of kills any chance of using the phone as a phone for daily use. Since I've switched to the HTC One though, I'm seriously looking into this (since obviously the radios aren't of much use to me at present).

agree. I tried a few times because I got curious and can't wait to see.
The first time is when It's just launched. And I got disappointed, and realize that it's just a developer preview.
Then in a few months, I try again but nothing looks changed (as a user) and I switch back to Android instantly.
Then they said it'll be usable as a daily driver by the end of May. I tried a week ago, but no luck. Still buggy, and I can't say it could be used as a daily driver.
Let's wait until it's 'finished'.
really missing the multitasking button in ubuntu
certainly ubuntu will come up much better but i badly miss the multitasking button in ubuntu hope they have a btter idea...

[Q] Any custom KitKat rom with HDMI working

Hello, I will like to know if there is any android 4.4.x rom for the xperia S/SL that has the HDMI output working as well both cameras, until now I had tried Paranoid android beta 4 and Carbon the first one works flawless but has no HDMI and the second one is given me a blurry and bad signal trough the HDMI output.
Before keep installing a reinstalling roms I will like to hear any advice about any stable 4.4.X rom out there or at least any rom with HD camera recording, 3d graphic and HDMI output working.
Thank you.
We are on the same page bro. Been looking for that too.
And maybe any rom that has the radio drivers installed. cant believe now that i don hav that i actually want to use it
HDMI and FM radio, as well as many other features depend on the chipset OEM (Qualcomm) drivers. They offer support up to some Android version (last stock JB?), but AFAIK KitKat is not and will never be supported. They could also open the source code/spec for the drivers, which will enable the community to fix those issues, but I seriously doubt they will even consider it.

Sad but hey the google nexus 5 also has a snapdragon inside, that means there will be no future support for the nexus 5? I doubt that, there must be a way to get us those drivers.
Can I ask why the drivers are so important?? Why they cant be ported or rewritten by some dev? Like the drivers on linux, all are free and open, wtirren by devs and users. Is it impossible to write a driver for a snapdragon?
Sorry for my questions, im a noob

It is not impossible.
What devs COULD do is reverse engineer the drivers from 4.1.2 to 4.4 or whatever, but that would be REALLY hard, and take a LOT of time and tries. It simply does not worth the process.
But I think HDMI and FM Radio should come from Sony, not Qualcomm, not sure.

well, so there wasour hope ;d. I bet sony already forgot that they ever made Xperia S... Thay are making so many phones now... thats just crazy, if some1 buy flagship sony just after 2-3 months he had 2nd best of their models. thats insane. They havent even made kitkat for most of their current "flagships" yet. Xperia s [*].
BTW. Love u xda Devs, you are a little star that gives us hope to use nice phone even more efficient and cool than before .
PS. God i hate that 10post req for responding in dev-s threads... i have so many questions about my pureslim kitkat ;/.
I am tempted into sell my phone to buy a new one, but is so sad because I think Xperias in general have a pretty good hardware, my next phone will be a nexus or who knows... Maybe I will end up selling my soul to Apple at least they have longer support for any older phone...
The thing is I love to hack my phones that's why I got an Android in first place.
