No android and Ubuntu are 2 different things. They are both Linux but different. The good think about Ubuntu OS is that it runs with arm hardware that's present in android meaning that android phones should be able to run it. I'll be waiting for it to hit and get ported to a bunch of android devices. It will run gloriously on existing android and our s3 once ported. But all we do noe is sit back, enjoy our phones and just wait

Yes, that was its Display at CES only though. During it, Ubuntu put out that it would release around 2014. I would assume many versions would be released for us to work with though before then.

For me, i think MIUI is the most user friendly ROM so far.
But I cant wait to try ubuntu, it looks pretty cool and i am sure it won't have many bugs. But u think it will work on Tmobile S3?
let's wait and see
Thanks for great news

MIUI user friendly? For US users? Visit the miui thread in the original dev section. That's not the case at all any more... Not to mention miui is old news and nowhere near as customizable as aokp.

I never liked miui, it's too iphonish, I'd rather run a stock rom than miui
Sent from Flip's S3

Definitely looking forward to this. It also states in the articles that it is the full blown operating system obviously customized appropriately for the interface but I'm looking forward to a full set of terminal commands instead of a condensed busy box.
One of the articles I think pointed to a Nexus in the next few weeks having a download available...not sure if that's true but I'm hoping our famous XDA devs can snag that and work their magic.

It's on http://ubuntu.com then goto Devices and Ubuntu for Android

Petition to XDA to approach Canonical?
What I would like to see is to see what the interest of the developers at XDA to get their hands on the Ubuntu for Android or the Ubuntu OS for the phones, and then create a petition for XDA to get in contact with Canonical see if there is a possibility to get the XDA developers involved in the forming of Ubuntu OS for the mobile. Just imagine what that could do to help getting Ubuntu out there for mobile devices. I mean. I'm pretty sure we have a bunch of power users out there that would like to beta test it for Canonical.

No offense, we have to agree IOS is more acceptable. I was Iphone user, and I love how IOS desgins its UI. You get around things much faster and easier.

Most definitely not. I used to own a number of Apple products. Their iOS setup blows. It was amazing 7 years ago or whenever the first iOS device came out, but not anymore. The only thing I still like about my old Apple devices is the click wheel for my first gen iPod Nano. Sadly though, there was a recall on them, but I got a higher capacity new one.

XobotOS

Has anyone tried XobotOS on the Gnex? I've actually never compiled a ROM before so I'm going to see if I can get the XobotOS compiled and running on my Gnex. I'll report back.
Dude if you get it working that'd be awesome. I'm very interested to hear how this goes for you.
Would be great dude !
Just read an article on engadget about this. I would like to try it if you get it to work.

Correct. If Android was written in C# it would be much better and apps would run smoother and use less battery. I think it would be beneficial for Google to move in this direction, but I highly doubt it.
The apps are still java. So it sounds to me like you can forget about application support.
how can you say that the battery would last long ?

Bounty for WebOs multitasking ported to the Galaxy s3

I am offering a $100 bounty if a developer can incorporate WebOs multitasking into a SGS3 rom. Please join in and maybe a developer will take the challenge.
For those not familiar with WebOs, it offers true multitasking and is amazing. To see what I'm talking about, watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQ30i-SqcGY&feature=youtube_gdata_player
WebOs has been ported to the Galaxy Nexus and has recently gone open source. This feature would make the sgs3 the greatest device in the world.
Again, you don't have to offer $100, but join in. I've always found that if the money is right, things get done.
Sent from my Jelly Bombed SGS3
Edit: There is a mod in root wiki that gives us webos like multitasking! It only works on AOKP though. It shouldn't be hard to port to TW or AOSP. The page has developer source codes and a road map to porting it. Come on developers, jump on this. Otherwise, I'll have to start pm'ing developers.. http://rootzwiki.com/topic/14167-mo...orizontal-app-switcher-011412build-17-update/

WebOs has gone completely open source. They have released all source codes. It has been ported to the Galaxy Nexus. It can't be too difficult to port here since it took no time for the GN port. It is all driven by Linux too.

Someone obviously never used webos before...
In the YouTube video in the OP it just shows switching back and fourth between open apps. It was a long time ago that I was on WebOS, I know there's something different about its multitasking than android and iOS multi tasking, but didn't see the difference in that one short video.
Can someone explain how it works differently, I'm just curious for my general knowledge.

Maybe a good idea would be to use something like Kickstarter or similar to build the pool of cash. That way the money is there and available for the dev or team that get this ported in...

Not the same situation at all, its like getting touchwiz on your One S, takes sooo much work with kernels and drivers just to get it to boot. Possible but most devs would rather focus on "bettering" a stable working OS.

iOS based Rom idea..?

Hi, I came from an iPhone 4, and I want to make an iOS based Rom. Probably iOS 6? I switched to android because of ios 7 lol. If anyone could comment, or pm me with any ideas. That would be much appreciated!
Also thought about an iMessage port with the Rom, I figured it could be spoofed with apples servers..
About me: I have a Sprint LG Optimus G

I have one suggestion(off topic sorry) I have a Ton of exp with the LGOG,(my thread helped nickname it and I OC the camera to the point where LG contacted me asking me how I did it) I'm so not bragging(though proud Lmao) just wanted you to know I know what I'm talking about and I would suggest you use team win recovery project(twrp) and not clockworkmod. So Much better for the lgog. Trust me,some phones love CWM like the photon but most in my tiny opinion work better and team win updates better and faster than cwm. All you have to do is use good manager click on the three little dots in the top right hand corner and hit open recovery script and it would do it for you, very very very easy

Pretty sure its impossible. iOS is closed source. MIUI is pretty much as close as you can get to iOS on an Android device. There are iOS themes available all over for instance here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=np5Rls-AneA

If iOS were that easy to decode then every bootloader for every iOS device would be unlocked and you would have jailbreaks within a day after each official release. The fact it takes 6-8 months now should tell you how much protection iOS has

You would have to write the phone drivers you're self, IPhone 4 drivers and hardware are nothing like the LS970, Which would mean even if you happened to decrypt the entire package and put out .img files (assuming thats the format they chose), If you flash it, you will brick your phone. You would honestly be better off re-writing iOS from scratch.

There are tons of things to allow the look and feel of iOS on Android.
The Android community has lots of problems porting Android OS's to Android Devices as it is because of closed source drivers. There's no reason to get your hopes up on attempting to port a completely closed source OS to a non-apple device. No disrespect or harm intended, it isn't impossible but the way to do it isnt by trying to decrypt packages. The only way I see this happening is to just start writing a new OS based on the ideas iOS has present and how it runs it apps.

Usually, unless its the GSM Galaxy Nexus or the Nexus 4, there's not too much development for Ubuntu Touch, mostly WIP that have a lot of issue with so many different phones. It looks pretty cool, but it seems like it's not as high priority as getting 4.3.1 roms out there.
dank dropped the project. i might be able to get it up and running eventually but as of right now i wouldn't expect too much. Maybe we could get a team set up to work on this? Obviously you'd need to have porting experience. Or we could just start up a thread and get the community working together on it. It seems as though there's a lot of demand for it just not enough work going into it.
That would be awesome, I was so excited for ubuntu. I don't have any porting or dev experience so idont think I could contribute that much but getting a team together sounds awesome!
