It has been attempted but the framework is so different that until there are stable ports to different devices it will not work out.
The one in the market to me just isn't good at all. I mean they did good work but just the fact that they insist on having those onscreen buttons there and not make them option is what bugs me the most. The app drawer is going to be a chore to try to even imitate. Like I said they do good work but they don't seem to take user input very seriously.

I feel the same about all android imitated launchers in the market, froyo, GB, ICS ex... But I think Ics is ugly anyways, that's why when it comes out for our phone, I will theme the hell out of it on day #1.

On a related note, it's not impossible. It's just incredibly unlikely to ever happen anytime soon.
And incredibly pointless, in my opinion.

It's not impossible. Just extremely improbable. Windows 8 and iOS are closed OS' and if ANY person ports it to a completely different platform that person would get sued into oblivion.

Could be mistaken, but won't windows 8 only run on windows 8 certified hardware? Thus, making it impossible to run windows 8 on ARM devices?

There's are some pretty decent windows 8 launchers out there.. Some of them even get the notification bar right.. I can't tell you which ones are the best but just search the play Store and try them
Edit... I don't think they have the live tiles..But I might be wrong..

Here's the thing. You own the device, not the software.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda premium

In theory it should be possible. We are using an ARM-powered phones and so does Microsoft/Nokia. However, we will need drivers for our hardware, such as graphics, and Microsoft won't give you those. The very helpful community here needs kernel source code to write them for you and that means Microsoft has to give you kernel source code. Do you begin to see the problem?
And then, after all that, your phone does not exist in a vacuum, no, it uses services provided by Microsoft, and you have an unauthorized device consuming them. I imagine they would respond the same way as when people tried to mod their XBOXes. You will be left with a perfectly functional useless phone.
Argument is the same for running iOS on our phones: possible, but very difficult and ultimately pointless.
Wait a few months and you will be able to run Ubuntu on your phone. Maybe.

HD2 was unique in that it was a windows phone that shared the exact hardware specifications of an existing android phone. Therefore, drivers, binaries and such didn't have to be created from scratch in order to port the os.

We do appreciate the hard work developers contribute to our Hercules community. Other users preference is not a weakness.

I'm up for it. This seems to be the one rom that my phone works the best with and battery life is fantastic. I've tried several ICS roms and while I really like certain things about them, for whatever reason, they don't always play nice on my phone.

Wait I don't fully understand, will it be on new devices or can we get it on devices that we already own?

Man the possibilities with having a real desktop computer in your hands and being able to run desktop applications right off the phone and not the slimmed down apps we download from google play. Looks great too.

I wonder if they'll make it for tablets soon too. Eventhough the tablet I have has ubuntu ported already, but not for mobile. Just the plane desktop OS.

I second the dual booting idea! The Ubuntu phone looks awesome just like the Ubuntu Desktop looks awesome. But I can't help but think that like the Ubuntu desktop the phone will have a huge applications gaps to over come.

This looks interesting but when would the first alpha roms would show up? I kind of think they havent even open sourced it like open webos

Im sure it can be ported. I saw the video that was on the ubuntu website that says it runs with all the same drivers android uses. So I am preety confident that our devs here on xda can build a ubuntu rom with no hassle at all. I personally would love to see a change on my galaxy note 2. I would love to see ubuntu (my favorite os) running on it.

it wont be just flashing a rom through recovery
youll need to use some program to flash ubuntu on the nexus phones

considering the Exynos seems to be notorious as being one of the more difficult SOC's to developer for I doubt we'll see a well running version of Ubuntu right away. I would like to see it though, and look forward to flashing it on my Nexus.
