Good luck with this. I will be following even though I dont have any interest in having Ubuntu on my phone unless maybe in a dual boot function.

Well eventually thats what im shooting for.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=889433 <-- this is the thread for the hd2
but eventually once a stable build is created i want to have dual boot feature so.

Hoping the best for this with dual boot, thanks in advance for your efforts :thumbup:

This will be fully native right? As opposed to ones that use a vnc server/client?

Yes this will be fully native and evenually dual boot. Once a stable build is ready for release

Erm... "kernel"

why just because you can? i will follow this for knowledge but don't see the point ... isnt ubuntu making a moblie version of the os themselves with a possible hardware phone too? i dont think it really has a place ... never the less i wish you good luck
ubuntu would be best for tablets not phone imo

I'm not putting a desktop version of Ubuntu on the phones. And yes but its based on android GUI and android code. I am doing this because it becomes an option..... something different . And I had an hd2 the idea itself and the actual build was pretty interesting. But think about a mobile true Linux device. All the possabilities

Also I want to make point of this Ubuntu mobile OS will be similar to android with an effing unity interface. Personally I hate the unity interface. By porting Linux Ubuntu this opens the doors for things like idk for ex programming custom gui's. Ha aha if somebody wishes a true mobile hacking unit lol not that I support this fashion of hacking. But again its DIFFERENT. But all in due tine need to get through my exams

If I can propose something, please have the RTL8187 module already built in with USB host active!
Can't wait to see development!!!!

If you need beta testers let me know! I'm more than happy to help with this project.

Awesome idea USB functionality I already incorporated and I will let everyone know on a beta

Also, provide kernel source and headers so if anyone who wants to build new modules/drivers it will be easier!
I would look at Backtrack-ARM too. I am running it in chroot but having native would be awesome! If we can find elite engineers to convert our broadcom wifi and make it monitor/injection working would be like the n900 but with way more power and bigger/better screen for mobile pentesting!

[DEV REQUEST] Ubuntu Touch port to N7100?

Hi everyone,
As you probably have heard, the Ubuntu Touch (alpha) image has been released for the Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, 7 and 10.
I would like to request porting it to our N7100 devices!
If I could I would do it myself but I have never ported anything.. However, if I can help in any way I will gladly do what I can!
For reference:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Porting

Since Galaxy S3 was one of the best-selling smartphone, I hope will be a port for it and consequentially for note 2 that has the same hardware platform

its not the place to Request a port.

big boooi no need to request, the porting instructions just came online and seem as "easy" as building CM from source.
its only natural that ports will be available on most devices.

There is no point of porting it currently, as most things don't work very well..
This is for devs, to test their apps. Not for users.. (yet )

I am aware of this.. But porting also has it's own malfunctions and problems. By porting an alpha release some of these problems can be solved before the stable release, was my thought

I am building a Ubuntu ROM now, as it was said before, don't expect much the ROM, as it is still being developed. But I am pretty sure you guys like me, just want a taste of it.

Hi Dev,
Ubuntu Touch is fabulous and it looks great.
I see you were working hardly last month in porting Ubuntu touch in SGN2.
But this month no update, not a single post. Is this project ALIVE or being DISCONTINUED or DEAD???
Dev pl work on it, we have lots of hope on you.
Thanks

[Q] Illusion ROM Port to maguro - Possible? Help wanted?

Hey everyone,
So I've been using PA roms for a while now, and the best thing about them (in my opinion) is the Hybrid Settings.
Only problem is, PA sometimes tenses to lag a bit. So Slim Bean would be a good alternative, but sadly this rom doesn't have Hybrid Settings.
Well, here is the rom perfect for the people like me: Based on Slim Bean, with the best of AOSPA and some AOKP features (and many more!), this rom is amazingly fast and has a lot of customization.
I would love to get this rom on my Galaxy Nexus maguro, but I myself have absolutely no idea how to port a rom, so I asked one of the people who develope the rom, $droyd$, if they were planning to port it to our beloved maguro, and he said:
As of now its not planned for the galaxy nexus but it is open source. That being said if you can build it for the galaxy nexus or know someone who can have them contact us and we can see.
Click to expand...

So this is where I need your help! If there is someone, who knows how to port this rom to our Galaxy Nexus, please help me (and other people). Currently the rom is still in development, so not all the final features are there. It has had it's first official release (sadly without the Hybrid Settings, but they plan to add it back soon) and version 2.0 is on its way, so we have no hurry. But it would be awesome if there would be someone willing to help port this rom to our Galaxy Nexus!
If you want to know more about the rom, here are some links and a video:
Google Nexus 4: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2338448
Google + $droyd$: Mike Williams
YouTube Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gf-9S1WRxQg
I hope I convinced some of you enough so we can make this happen! Anyway, thanks for listening

Questions should be in Q&A section! Mod should move this into right section soon!
Why you want it to be ported if you may be able to build it from sources?
I'm not sure if that ROM is open sourced to be able build it for maguro,if it is open sourced then just set up building environment on Linux and download sources and then Maguro properiatry files and start building it for Maguro!
No sense to port it because then most of the things wouldn't work!

Thread moved to Q&A section - for future questions please use this section. Android Development is for Development
Thanks for your coop

yep!

Sorry for posting in the wrong place, it was not my intention.
Also, sorry for not knowing the difference between 'porting a rom' and 'compiling it from source', I don't really know much about that.
That being said, I don't know how to compile a rom from source.
So if there is someone willing to compile this rom for our Galaxy Nexus, please let me know!
If not, is there someone who can link me to a good tutorial, so I can try it myself?
Thanks again

Want Illusion Rom
Love the illusion rom !!
The feature list is endless
Can someone please build this ROM !!!!!

Good News
Hey guys,
So the developer of the Nexus 4 Illusion rom just posted this on his Google +:
So I'm debating notice I said debating on supporting galaxy nexus for illusion.. I need to know if there's anyone I can count on to test builds and do it right. providing I can build it..

This is good news! It means he is going to try to support the Galaxy Nexus, given that there are enough people to test the builds, and if he manages to get it working in the fist place. So if you're interested please let me/him know!

I'd test out a toro build!

Happy with the development so far?

Hey guys
I have this amazing tablet since a couple of week now..
I think the development has been kind of slow for a "nexus" device
what do you guys think?

Hard to get a lot of development going without a stable platform.
It's been through 3 updates since being shipped.
Remember, the first generation had a month or so head start, as there were a few hundred in the wild and the factory images released 30 or so days in advance of the retail launch.
There's stuff popping up... Just takes a bit of time...

Yeah I guess .. sooner or later roms like AOKP should pop up ..plus the European release just happened

Yeah it's not officially launched in Sweden yet, I had to import which is no problem anyway.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4

Yep so we might start seeing better development in coming weeks
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2

Maybe it's not related with a stable platform
the nexus 7 has lots of hardware/software problems (wich have not been solved yet) maybe that's why.
and please dont ask for development, they wont hurry to make a kernel/rom just bec you make this thread
sorry if i look rude :angel: but that's my opinion.
when i get mi nexus 7 2013 in september i wont start making a rom since first hours, i will first try it, enjoy it and when i get bored of the jelly bean 4.3 then i will make a rom.
maybe i am not the only one who thinks like this and that's why there aren't lots of projects so far.
--
and please, you have 4.3 android jelly bean, you want someone to make a port from a higher device? from a higher android version? wich one?
the devices who always have lots of development are for example an older device who gets a port from a higher one. or a good device wich has not many features.
anyway, you may be waiting for AOKP,CM,PA,etc.. just wait the good developers will release them soon.

Learn to do it yourself. Or shut up about it?

There are official CyanogenMod nightlies on CyanogenMods webpage if you want to try something new.

Hello! Glad to have another dev for this device! This phone is smoking hot! As for your questions.. Yes it should be all right! But a test will obviously be in order As for Cm roms.. Non yet! Would be nice, but the features on TW are so nice and this phone can run it amazingly. And for my opinion on a rom would be maybe a highly themed/customizable rom. Kinda like chameleon or avatar rom.

All I can say right now is thank goodness for Wanam's Exposed, that app covers so many things all by its lonesome. I'd be rocking Darthstalker but it changes something that keeps me from visiting most sites via tethering, if your familiar with Team Venom Viper rom for the HTC One that was the best rom I ever used as far as the customization and all the addons and such accessible from the hub they add in, I was so spoiled by that rom it's hard to imagine using anything with less feature rich. I'm sure something like that takes a group effort whereas some of you guys work alone but I would donate my left one for Venom on this phone.
