The only downside is that canonical has said that they're looking to work with OEM's on this project, and don't have any immediate plans to release to the public.
I'm really curious what hardware they're using to make this magic happen. They show a phone docked, but how is it connected via mouse/keyboard/monitor? MHL with bluetooth peripherals? USB OTG and MHL combo on the back of the dock? I've been waiting for something like this, lucky me that ubuntu is the one that's making it happen.
would be sweet unless they some how integrate unity
"That's absolutely amazing"
Like that they planning on keep all supported phones updated to the newest Ubuntu release.
I know it's not quite the same, but there is a way already to have ubuntu on our phones.

Seems to me Unity is all but guaranteed. Hopefully we be able to apt whatever DE we want though. For that matter hopefully we will be able to switch to whatever distro we want, at least debian distros.

A similar dual os via docking comes with motorola phones. Many developers have already improved on the motorola mini-buntu.
This may take it to an even better level

correct, but the current incarnations are actual installations, and they don't Sync immediately live between the two OS
the ones we got running right now are either virtualized version of Ubuntu in our phone, or they actually replace Android, and it requires much tweaking for it to do what currently is cooking at Ubuntu Dev
Does anyone have a leak of that beta development of Ubuntu for Android?
i want to try to make it work on our phones
Also how does one even sign up as a Dev on Ubuntu to get access to the repositories for Ubuntu Android?
This is probably not going to be easily backported to other devices. Like Android itself, it needs native drivers that homebrewers aren't really going to be able to code, so don't expect to see this running on our phones, at least not well enough to be more than a novelty.
It's cool tech, though, and especially on the new generation of phones with Krait or Core A15 this is going to be a real potential desktop replacement for a lot of people who only do light computing. I think this is ultimately where computing is going to go for most people, although it might be a few years before the technology is quite good enough.

What does this mean for chances of W7S on the HD2? I'm a complete noob here. Please don't bash me too bad if this is a dumb question. It seems the i891 meets even fewer of the WP7 specifications than the HD2!!!
Sorry, cant post links
Now that's creepy. Microsoft better not be playing a bunch of people. If Windows can run on lower-grade devices, it better be released for them too.
That may be true- but I think its going to be optimised over its life before its released so it will be a different device.
WM7 is more about standards, and things have to have lots of stuff to be allowed to use it- which makes sence.
Is it possible that Microsoft are shunning HTC because they've focused more on Android than Win Mo in the past year?
i think its the same body as the i8910 HD but they might have updated the internals. i.e. processor, RAM, ROM ..

OR maybe it's HTC wanting to provide phones for the business end of the consumer spectrum and thus staying far away from WP7 and instead going with android.
The device in question is a prototype that will NOT go on sale; I wouldn't draw too many conclusions from this.

A prototype using existing hardware for an OS that should not run without a magical "video scaler"...good going M$. What a nose dive. It's all about pushing over priced phones now. Where did the pda concept go? You killed it.
I guess my point is, if it can run on this phone, why not the HD2?
The phone is hacked, the screen size is obviously different.
the fact that they look the same doesnt mean that they are the same
first of all, the bottom part of the phone shown at mix is longer
second, the distance between "samsung" label and screen is obviously bigger
they just put the hardware in a shell just to have something to demonstrate.
its like taking your hard drive and sticking it into a case to make it portable

Because they can make more money with new HD2 + new hardware buttons + 7 Series OS (this world has bad sides I know)
I accepted that the HD2 will not get 7 Series, because there really are a few good reasons. The HD2 does not meat at least 3 to 4 requirements.
BUT, then I see this...
Anyway, I am moving to Android in April/May.

The HD2 has no search button, no hardware camera button, no dedicated power button, half a gigabyte of flash memory when the minimum requirement is 8GB, and has an SD card reader which is banned on WP7S devices. In addition there is a significant question-mark over whether the touch-screen is capable of registering the necessary four independent points of contact, and some doubt as to whether it has the necessary non-GPU-based hardware image scaler.

Not that I'm a fan of it but i was wondering since android can run on the iphone is it possible to put IOS on the EVO.
No IOS is not open source
Yeah, this isn't a netbook you're talking about. You can't just put an Apple OS on it all willy-nilly.
Seriously, though, I'd bet the trouble would be nigh-insurmountable based on hardware differences. They're using their own CPU in the iPhone, for one, and beyond that I bet they're working pretty strongly to keep iOS from ever being ported like OS X is.
How dare you!!!!! Off with his head!!!

lol this is the second related thread to apple i've seen in the last 24 hours...lol
This thread made me sick to my tummy just a little bit!
the base for iOS is open(ish) source. But to my knowledge no one has tried to take Darwin down to the mobile level other than apple with iOS. In theory it should be able to be done, but that would be the only way to get a port. Hope your up for a challenge.

c'mon guys - outside of the poor taste it leaves in our mouths, the question is legit.
OP-It's highly doubtful that true iOS4 will ever be ported to android - too many challenges. The closest you might get is for a dev to build a theme that makes android look and act like iOS4 on the surface, but it would still be android.
oh yeah - and no iphone app store. ever.
Guys it was just a question so relax and stop the flaming. It probably can be done but there's too much work involved and it would also be illegal. Besides even if you were able to do it the App Store wouldn't allow your phone access so the only way to install apps would be through Installous (cracked apps) which is also illegal.
Android >>>>> apple
Android will be ported because it can and it has high enough demand..
IOS isn't ported because well... No demand <.<

Plain and simple. It won't. Hardware is to different and it closed source. But if you were looking for ios'ish look for the evo check out miui. People argue both ways saying it is and isn't close to ios but from what I see (since I'm a daily user) its pretty damn close. Have fun

You can but its illegal but sure no one is willing to plus you can get flamed
sent from my HTC evolution running a freshly baked gingerbread with the 4gs in it
I started hearing about the ROM over on some Dell Streak blogs and had a thought I was worried about...but wonder if I am just being paranoid.
Where is MIUI from? Is this in some actual consumer phone that is on a major network? Has anyone actually met these people that wrote this?
I see on their website that they are working with some of the devs here and supposedly have submitted the FM app to Cyanogen:
http://www.miui.com/thread-1687-1-1.html (Not much more than that page unless you can read Chinese which I cannot.)
I guess my paranoia sets in when I see things come out like this fully baked and being adopted blindly by the masses. We saw games just last year that were doing random calls and that was from a site people trusted.
Sorry if this seems tinfoil hatty, but really what better way to sink a trojan/backdoor into a ton of phones than to release a super cool looking bit of software that no-one is really going to dig through and vette? So my question is do people here really trust this software? Have the Dev's torn it apart enough to feel they know everything in it?
It's an AOSP-based ROM developed by some Chinese folks to make their phones into KIRF iPhones.
I at one point thought the same thing about it. I thought about where it came from, and all the jazz with the same paranoid mindset. Then I thought about it more, and realized I wouldn't be doing anything on my phone that would be of any interest to anyone. I'm sure its probably legit. There are other poeple that have had to go through and port it to English and more fun stuff. I would assume they have taken a decent look at it.
Just like that live wallpaper with the malware in it, I'm sure someone will find a rouge code. Im sure it will be viral too as apple fanboys would jump all over it discrediting Android. But to be on the safe side, I'd only use ROMs from here and other trusted dev forums, from devs with a good rep. At least you'll know its honest work.
Yes, you're being a bit "tinfoil hatty." Google MIUI dev and you'll see the english forum from xda members that are dedicated to this rom's development. I'm sure that they have broken down most of the rom and you can get more information there.

I how you' re trying (unsuccessfully) to be funny. Here's a newsflash, there are android geeks, honest ones even, all over the world!!
Really, if the Chinese were trying to gather information via some device that millions upon millions of Americans would use (and no, that would not be the MIUI on Android), they would probably tap the ipod, iphone, and ipad - all of which are made in China.

No, but it would be much appreciated! Maybe we can get the themers over in Android Themes to get it going?
I'd like to play with it but I couldn't find a leak of it.
The infinite home screen with expandable pods looks really interesting. Check out the Engadget video:

Ditto. I searched a lot for a leak.
ditto, no luck finding one either.
The best we could hope for is that one of the joojoo early adopters posts a dump. Anyone who bought the joojoo gets a grid10 for free. Not sure if the tablet/phone versions are similar.

That's probably close to impossible. But since GridOS runs an Android Kernel, more possible.

I would highly doubt it. If they wanted more open source, then they could just skin Android, instead of creating a new OS (albeit based off Android)

It doesn't hurt to ask! My P.S. was "send me the source or a system dump please."
I doubt they're going to open source it, looking at the CEO's comments on android and apple. I do hope we can get it on our incredible somehow though.
I've got a Grid10 (GridOS is still pretty buggy)
I would love to dump it so everyone could take a stab at porting it, but the device doesn't have a standard USB port. They want $30 for a proprietary USB adapter.

I haven't invested in one since I've been side-loading using the Amazon market and the microSD slot.

Well, the title says it all. (well, most of it)
Do you think our phone can handle the new android "L" Update? I mean we know the basic sacrifices we have to take to have a newer OS than ICS: No bluetooth head set support...also our CPU doesn't support NEON instructions. Aside from that it runs KitKat amazingly well! I mean its really smooth! I can remember when we first got KitKat on our Cappi. @bubor Compiled Omni ROM 4.4.1. It was so cool but so unstable! But then Came along android 4.4.2 and bubor fixed the tegra 2 support issue.After that leap of faith we now have a very very smooth,stable,and fast KitKat! So enough of me ranting on and on about how far and good our phone is, do you think theres any life and if its worth it to port 'L" when it debuts? Or will the new android "L" 5.0 have new libs so no more ROMs?
Also if you want the new android "L" 5.0 apps see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2796019
-Reserved-
Future post updates
Based on what we know now, I'd say the Cappy will run L. Don't have to worry about system libs as those are compiled from source with the instructions you specify. Main question is what changes in SurfaceFlinger / MediaServer, but based on what we know I don't think there'd be problems. Screencasting might not work, but that's not a big problem I think.
Little nitpick: Those are NEON instructions, not threads.

May Take time.
I would love nothing more than to have the latest crispiest android.
but honestly i think that .. THAT will require more developers for our phone.. i mean while i agree that we have a decen no of custom roms.
but i still think that all the pressure is mainly on bubor ... if only we could have more people.
Also i still think that development for the 4.4.x should finish before we continue on to higher upgrades.
there are still alot of bugs and we could certainly use a lil more people contributing to help out...
While i love the idea of a new upgrade i am honestly VERY VERY Satisfied with kitkat it looks good and feels smoother that ever.
while implementation of ART may help . . i think that we have already maxed out our device

Very true, I'm loving the KitKat Roms for our Cappy Glide. I'm personally using ART now with the latest CM 4.4.4 Rom Bubor makes. I'm very thankful that Bubor puts so much work into this old but still useful phone. I'm wanting to become more involved in helping where I can here. I can only do thorough testing though, I don't know how to develop roms or apps... yet. Maybe someday I'll learn.
