Hopefully we will be rocking Ubuntu soon!
What's everyone think about this?
I have a sneaky suspicion this is one of the main reasons Samsung went with a Smart Dock for the GN2.
Add it up - quad core system with resources, ubuntu, way to hook up peripherals....
That really makes a portable desktop short of virtualization.
you may be interested in this thread, I found through the main page portal: Linux on Android
I haven't tried it yet. Could be a nice option for those things that just aren't mobile friendly.
Big Meh from me.

I tried it and wasn't able to get it working before I gave up. I'm excited to see an app that will hopefully make it easy.

I don't think this is the same. Ubuntu for Android is a phone operating system and desktop in one OS. What you are running is Ubuntu desktop on a phone. Ubuntu for Android allows you to make phone calls, text etc....

Any ideas how we get this on our devices yet?

Agreed. Thus is why I said may be of interests.
As for the mobile ubuntu OS, I think you're going to have to wait a bit. It wasn't announced that long ago. It's only recently been shown in any kind of working format, which was on a Nexus phone. Once the code is released, then will be challenges or getting everything to work such as LTE and S pen.

Since Microsoft first released Windows Phone 7, I convinced my self to "NOT BUY" the very first release because I know and I think most of us knows that a few months or weeks, an improved version will be available.. Well probably upgrading a ROM is the answer but anyway, my few suggestions to improve some navigations.
A like to suggest in horizontal panning effect which I think is a very nice and beautiful. But to improve the navigation, here are some my suggestion.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Ok. So another one would be, in Application List navigation.
also posted in my blog site
http://jaysonragasa.net/post/A-few-suggestion-for-Windows-Phone-7.aspx
To be honest, those are nice concepts. I can easily see the Application list getting changed to allow grid support. Can't say much about the other.
FYI Windows Phone 7 is going to be very easy to update. It has a real updater unlike Windows Mobile. You wont have to flash a rom and wipe out all your apps and settings to get OS updates anymore. At least thats what Microsoft is claiming.

the question is, will it be "free" ? which I don't believe it will.
and if not .. well most of us I think will still swim around this kind of site for free upgrade, patched ROMs that we will still injecting in our phone's vains
EDIT:
-- ok, so hopefully it will be free like Windows OS
another suggestion would be
Bing search results.
Will it be nice to search inside your phone too such as Contacts, Applications, Calendar, and files? here's the preview.

it works on my trophy
won't make much use of it tho.
Not atm anyway
this works for me too. nice.
Hmmm I will move this to general.

I'll quote the article here!

Prefer to load media onto your Windows Phone 7 device the old fashioned way? Then it looks like your solution is just a simple Windows registry hack away. Coming shortly after the USB tethering hack, the folks at Mobile Tech World have now discovered that you can effectively turn your Windows Phone into a USB drive by modifying just three entries in the registry of your Windows desktop PC. Once done, you'll be able to drag and drop files to your heart's content -- albeit only on a computer that's had the registry hack done, of course. Hit up the source link below for the complete details.

Excellent news.
But what does the file structure look like? Does this break out of the isolated storage restrictions in any way?
I.e. can you create files in a general area accessible by multiple apps?
I'm thinking no, but we are now only one step away from Windows Phone 7 firmware becoming an actual operating system.
Hello y'all has anyone seen anything like this?:

As usual, a better description of your problem would be way more helpful that:
does anybody have seen this.
But I guess you are missing some displaying of icons.
Though I have not that many experiances with geh Google Nexus, I would guess it's an hardware error of the graphic chip. (If it's a stock ROM)
Else there could be a problem with the graphic driver.(of a Custom Rom)
My apologies for the vague question. But thanks for the input. Those 'black boxes' were my widgets and folders. I'm running a completely bone stock GSM phone from the Play Store with the new 4.1.1 OTA update.
Everything seems to be back to normal now that I did a reset. Should I think about doing a warranty service?

Did you try a reboot and did it change anything? Or did you go straight for a reset (=reset to default or reinstalling?)
How long did Android run? (I ask because I know of an Issue of Windows (which might not be true for any Linux/Andoid/Unix system, still.....)
e.g. there was (is (?) a problem once Windows runs out of memory. then it stops displaying Icons correctly. but in such a situation it was also very, very slow but a reboot helped

NO!
looks like a software issue.. there is nothing for warranty to repair..
@dna99 - Wrong choice of word, I performed a soft reset(reboot) not a complete reset. I'm not sure how long android was running for didn't check before I rebooted the phone. I can believe that (running low on memory).
@pdx - Thanks for the advice.

Just finished porting my windows phone app Sequencer over to Win8/WinRT. Used MonoGame and SharpDx, and the port went very smoothly. I definitely recommend those frameworks for anyone looking to convert their XNA WP7 app to Win8.
Sequencer is a beat-maker app that lets you play timed sounds to make a musical composition. It can play pre-recorded instruments like pianos, violins, or saxophones and it also has a three oscillator synthesizer so you can make your own sounds. It is essentially the same app as the on phone, except the UI is scaled up to work on tablets and desktop PCs. So if anyone liked the phone version or has Windows 8 and would like to give it a try, please check it out. Also, it would be great if anyone has any feedback or any ideas for additional features. Here's the link to the app in the store: Sequencer in Win8 Market
Thanks for taking to the time to look at the app.

Hello guys,
The NokiaZLauncher seems to be released some hours ago
Its still an pre-beta app but the launcher still doesnt allow widgets but maybe in the future.
The launcher also works with gestures and learns a bit from your actions and predict it in the future to get it easier for you,
By simply drawing a Letter like T will preview a list with apps,names with the T after 4 gesture letters it is also going through google so its pretty advanced if you ask me. Its really a troll action from Nokia to microsoft lol. Have fun with the launcher since maybe not everyone know it yet because there is also nothing in the apps forum here.:laugh:
It works properly on the Nexus4 btw, non rooted and stock for the guys who really want to know.
Video preview which i just found:

Edit: poor, just unistaled

Yeah it is still a bit a poor launcher but its still in pre-beta phase so it will be better if it is final:laugh: i just wanted to inform you guys also that the launcher even exists for the ones who didnt read the android news sites
It's telling me that it doesn't support rooted devices.
