No. And no one will be, since it has to be implemented by the manufacturer. Ubuntu stated, that they may release source to fiddle with, but they havent until now.

Shame, would be awesome.

Main Problem is, that it would need implementation in the kernel since it runs besides Android all the time and uses the same kernel. I also would like to See a port of this, but since no units with this feature were sold till now , there is no easy way to get hold of the code (sadly)...

yep !
we will see how useful the ubuntu UI will be on phones. hopefully it gets better than the desktop unity crap
also time will tell on which devices ubuntu for phones actually can run.. the guy in the video said it could run on any android device.. i doubt that
but i'm still excited for this.. having it dual boot would be awesome i guess
So it runs alongside Android and when you connect the phone to the PC it turns into an Ubuntu system, sounds neat!

on the ubuntu homepage i the phone section there is a page where is a part where you can see what are the things which have to have the phone ...the "min" and "max" and our phone will run it good because of enough memory and good cpu ...just wait...at first they will make it avaiable on the nexus 4 and after a while for other
They will post development images for the galaxy nexus (not N4) which can be ported to other phones The whole thing already runs on an android kernel which should speed up the porting a little. I'm going to follow this closely though, especcially the thin client function looks neat. We have some BYOD rules and what we basically do is just RDP in from out own docked laptop instead of an availible thin client. With this I could just dock my phone and start working.

It's a really nice idea but you'll lose the functionality of a phone and it was pretty damn hard to use on a 7 inch screen running in gnome.
Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Ubuntu for nexus 7 require repartitioning? If that's the case then there's no way it would work for most of us.

This is made to run on a linux/android kernel..... Which should translate into an easy move..... Plus its made for mobile...
It is a mobile OS so why would we lose mobile features.
Plus as this is for mobile... It won't be hard to navigate as everything is scaled and repositioned.

Something got me thinking today "What if I could dual boot my Evo with Windows Phone 7 and Android?". I think that would make it the ultimate phone. The HD2 can run windows and android so why not the Evo also.
this is already released. there is a android 3.0/windows 7 combo rom running at 2ghz with pretty much everything working
I'm sure you can, I doubt developers who use their time on making it though

Considering that some WP7 devices will most likely use Snapdragon it really shouldn't be terribly difficult to do - but yes, it would be illegal.

Hello all,
I have just recently purchased a HTC desire z, therfore i have become a big fan (already linux geek) of android. However with windows mobile 7 phones recently released on the market i would like to know if anyones working or done a dual boot feature on the desire series with android and windows mobile 7?
ANY help would be amazing and thanks you
Impossible. Especially since there is no WM7. Windows Phone 7 on the other hand will be difficult if anything since there is no source.

If anything will get WP7, it'll be the Desire HD. With it being such a close relation and all.

This can't be true since the hardware is WP7 compatible.
My question is WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO?.
If it's to try the new OS, just go to your local dealer and play with there's for about 10 minutes, which is about how long it will take to play with all the features it comes with.
Thanks for all replies,
obviously windows mobile 7 and the desire seriers are all new products and its mostly correct that the desire hardware is compatible, this hopefully is going to be something that will be done sometime in the new year by a very clever professional programer.
so please update if you hear that someone is working on this.
the reason i want WM7 on my htc desire is because currently im iphone programming, next i will be java programming then lastly wm7 programming if all goes to plan.
The htc hd2 isnt suported for a update since it doesnt have the three hardware buttons required for wp7...im with everyone else in this thread i doubt it will get ported to android..i mean it would be nice to dual boot into wp7 but i doubt it will happen...theres not many devs for the desire z right now..well in comparison to the desire and the hero...lets just hope it may may may may happen

From what I understand, the version of WP7 that runs on the HD2 can't access any of the Live services at the moment because it hasn't got the necessary certificate. This is likely to be another barrier to this sort of thing, though I imagine someone will get over that in time.

i have had various Android smart phones in the last few Years, rooted and installed MANY many m-a-n-y ROMs and launchers. I was amazed with the 'LAUNCHER7' launcher that does not require root access. How ever, it is not the genuine Windows 7 mobile, it is the closest thing to it. It even has the 'live' tiles that you see so many times.
Go to the Android market, and search for Launcher7. I don't want to sound like an advertisement, but the author has done a good job on how it looks and feels. It even has the little fly in and out animations when you select a certain tile.
I doubt anybody even wants a wp7 port to make it worth the devs time to make it. just let that junk go... like someone else said use the launcher7 or better yet buy a windows phone! I did and took it back within two hours! Maybe if u never used a smartphone u could lke it, but anyone who is used to the freedom of android could ever backstep into that poop.

Exactly and this being said how would an Android device such as the Desire Z be able to support the Windows Mobile 7 Apps? On the other hand they have a home launcher in the market that changes your home interface to look exactly like the HTC HD7. You should check it out! Hope I helped a bit

I doubt if there were emulator that could emulate a windows 7 phone it would not be able to run movies or much in that matter. The processing power to emulate a WP7 phone would drastically slow down the G2 even over clocked.
If we are talking about WM6... i would kind of like to see that... but wouldn't use it as a daily driver.
will this be possible eventually when fully realeased ??
whaaaaa? windows 8 on the a100 or being able to use mtp/mass storage with windows 8? if its the first i want to say HA good luck with that be easier to compile ubuntu 12 arm compared to any windows os. If its the second well i have no clue.
Personally if i was gonna put windows 8 on a acer tablet i'd done it with the w500 which runs windows7 natively an has a keyboard dock (that will never mount right to a a100/a500 because its a normal usb port on the bottom of the w500 >.>)

If you are speaking the Acer A100 tablet ONLY I would say yep you are correct. However you are saying "No one will be installing W8 on their Android tablets" which is false. Yes you will be able to have an ARM device with Windows 8 and Android in a dual boot. Windows 8 is being writen for both x86 and ARM and manufacturers like Asus have already talked about releasing a dual boot.

Microsoft just aren't going to allow that... They have VERY strict requirements for the ARM version of Windows 8, one of which is a tightly locked and sealed bootloader and NO dual booting capability.
Plus, no existing tablets on the market meet the spec requirements for resolution or available RAM.

Thanks, and my previous point still stands true. You are too vague most of the time in your responses and it leads to miss informed people. It also causes you to give responses that may have some validity, but are wrong because you don't properly address what you wish to point out.
I agree with you there is actually news about ARM based tablets having to have a secured boot loader by the manufacture no if ans or butts if its a intel/amd based machine the secure boot is optional.
Hope nobody minds but here is a link on some info on that http://www.bit-tech.net/news/bits/2012/01/16/microsoft-blocks-linux-arm-hardware/1
Hi,
Still no solution to install W8 on A100?
Tnks
I wont say it'll never happen, I'll say its extremely unlikely, for a few reasons i can see.
Devs needed to work on getting w8 working on a tegra2 anything, let alone an a100
W8 itself being modified to run on the a100 specifically, there is next to no dev support for this device for android let alone another os.
Did I mention devs needed to do this stuff?
IMO i wouldn't wait on this, its extremely unrealistic to expect. But I could be wrong, it happens quite often.

I used to want a small Windows-XP/Vista/7 based phone that could idealy do everything my desktop/laptop could do. However, as I looked into it further, I realized it just wasn't an optimum OS to have on a phone type platform (even if it was possible).
Even on my Sony Vaio UX which had a similar sized screen as the Note 2, programs were just too difficult to navigate and use due to their design being model for a larger landscape. Also, the Windows Desktop OS's are resource-hungry, and do not utlize hardware efficiently enough to run smoothly on a phone.
Still it would be fun to do, just to say it can be done.

all those devices you mentioned came with windows mobile.
because windows(all versions) is closed source it's incredibly hard to get it on a device that didn't originally have a version of windows.
android has the advantage of being open source so it's much easier to port drivers from other devices to it, and to even write completely new drivers.
but even then it's not an easy task.
Wish it was possible but sadly Microsoft does not allow to. If there was a option of Dual OS Bootup then it would have been awesome.

Don't use this as it is for the original N7. You also wouldn't be able to anyway, as Canonical stopped building preinstalled images a long while ago. All effort were merged into Ubuntu Touch.
It's pointless because Ubuntu Touch is purely UI and none of the features are functional as far as I know.
It would be really awesome to be able to run a full-featured Ubuntu on the Nexus 7.

I'm pretty sure that I saw a post from a developer (maybe on launchpad in reply to a bug report or something, can't find it now) that said that we can rest assured that someone will build it. I couldn't find a timeline though.
The op link is referring to the Ubuntu core for N7 2012, and not Ubuntu touch. They are separate systems. It is the desktop os, for Nexus 7. As someone else already mentioned, this version (13.04 from April 24th) was the last made before it was discontinued. I still run it on my N7 2012 model, and love it. Of course, otg, kb and mouse required.
