It has been said we might run a custom linux version instead of google android! This is what I saw this morning on my flipboard news. What do you think?

After seeing this, it got me curious to what "Tizen", now if you guys already knew about it, please don't pick on me, but this is what I found on one of the developers test tizen phones. Kinda interesting..

If this does go big, the whole Ubuntu OS will (in my opinion) definitely be shot out of the water
It also seems like a lot of companies have woken up and realized that the smartphone market is gonna be going places and they want in on it

Well, Ubuntu seems to be much farther along than Tizen, although it does have the backing of Samsung and Intel and all of those guys

Android uses Linux for the kernels, the rest is something else I believe. This thread is talking about full Linux.
As good as this sounds, and/or Ubuntu or open WebOS, it's not all about the OS.
If other handset manu's don't "buy into the idea", then you have a single company with limited apps and limited support and no real infrastructure.
Apps are a huge deciding point when it comes to what people buy.
Phone A with android and a million apps? (apps = designed specifically for phone)
Phone B with ios and a million apps?
Phone C with ubuntu and 100 apps?
Phone D with tizen and 100 apps?
Phone E with Win Phone 8 and 20k apps?
Without the infrastructure and apps people won't come to it. Without people, developers have no desire to create apps and infrastructure. Catch 22.

Linux is the kernel. That's it. There is no "full Linux" as you put it. What you may be thinking of is GNU/Linux, which is the Linux kernel with the GNU userspace overlaid on top of it. That's what almost all Linux-based desktop operating systems (like Ubuntu, Debian, Mint, Slackware, Arch, etc.) use.

Yeah I was referring to the way Linux is on desktops, sorry about that. Thanks for correcting me.
The more options, the better. A duopoly isn't ideal for the consumer. Android is great and all, but more choices never hurt.

Not that I'm a fan of it but i was wondering since android can run on the iphone is it possible to put IOS on the EVO.
No IOS is not open source
Yeah, this isn't a netbook you're talking about. You can't just put an Apple OS on it all willy-nilly.
Seriously, though, I'd bet the trouble would be nigh-insurmountable based on hardware differences. They're using their own CPU in the iPhone, for one, and beyond that I bet they're working pretty strongly to keep iOS from ever being ported like OS X is.
How dare you!!!!! Off with his head!!!

lol this is the second related thread to apple i've seen in the last 24 hours...lol
This thread made me sick to my tummy just a little bit!
the base for iOS is open(ish) source. But to my knowledge no one has tried to take Darwin down to the mobile level other than apple with iOS. In theory it should be able to be done, but that would be the only way to get a port. Hope your up for a challenge.

c'mon guys - outside of the poor taste it leaves in our mouths, the question is legit.
OP-It's highly doubtful that true iOS4 will ever be ported to android - too many challenges. The closest you might get is for a dev to build a theme that makes android look and act like iOS4 on the surface, but it would still be android.
oh yeah - and no iphone app store. ever.
Guys it was just a question so relax and stop the flaming. It probably can be done but there's too much work involved and it would also be illegal. Besides even if you were able to do it the App Store wouldn't allow your phone access so the only way to install apps would be through Installous (cracked apps) which is also illegal.
Android >>>>> apple
Android will be ported because it can and it has high enough demand..
IOS isn't ported because well... No demand <.<

Just so you know, there is absolutely nothing wrong with being a homosexual. That being said, did you notice that the article said Linux users are violent pedophiles? Now that's bad!
Signed,
A heterosexual Linux user.
Ehm...so I'm gay because I use a Mac? Damn man.
A few quick facts acquired from that article.
Linux users: Intelligent yet violent paedophiles.
Windows Users: Typical somewhat intelligent in-between people.
Mac Users: Homosexual artists of inferior intelligence but well adjusted socially.

You know what's effective when telling off an iPhone user if he's trying to impress you? Just smile and nod. When he's done, just say "Hey, there's this song on my phone which is pretty good. Let me send it to you."
Sit back and enjoy as he tries to figure out how he can receive your file. Then smirk and chuckle when he finally realizes the supposedly best smartphone in the world can handle that simple of a task.
No need to call into question someone's sexual orientation to get back at Apple fanboys...

Apple is and has allways been fail. Now it's proven to be fail, gay and stupid. Hooray!

You don't need to have a dock necessarily. Just the MHL cable. There are some 3rd party docks already that sit it up vertically on its USB port I think.

unique problem i see for the moment is that (requirements) you need mhl AND usb and you only achieve that with special dock BUT i could imagine just hooking the mhl and the use bluetooth if it works
I want to see it on my Nexus
need some dev's to request more info!

I'm really excited about this. I need this at my home because I only use my laptop for productivity. This will make me more productive without my laptop. One step closer to getting rid of the laptop.

exactly the point i was getting at, we need something to hook up our usb wireless keyboard and mouse dongles if this is going to be something they want us to use on a monitor or big screen tv, basically we need a 2nd female mini usb port or have it give us a HDMI/USB port from the single mini usb
Sounds awesome! but only really useful if you can dual boot between Ubuntu and ICS.. or even better, quick switch between the 2 but you would have to have way more RAM than 1GB
I hate to burst everyone's bubble. Ubuntu was at ces and when I saw this live(Motorola atrix) I asked them if the source will be released? Sadly enough, they stated that it was going to be sold to OEMs as a means of funding the Ubuntu project. I don't really blame them since you have to make money somewhere. Just wanted to say that it may be a long while before your gnex has Ubuntu on it.

did you read the article? Do you understand Motorola's web top?
Basically you phone runs a small starter program all the time, this allows web top (Ubuntu) to detect when you connect the web top (MHL & USB) accessories. It then runs web top (Ubuntu) OS with android (at least in web top) in a window on the screen. This allows full access to both OS's at the same time while reducing resource demand (since they share the kernel) and not forcing a complete reboot.

The only downside is that canonical has said that they're looking to work with OEM's on this project, and don't have any immediate plans to release to the public.
I'm really curious what hardware they're using to make this magic happen. They show a phone docked, but how is it connected via mouse/keyboard/monitor? MHL with bluetooth peripherals? USB OTG and MHL combo on the back of the dock? I've been waiting for something like this, lucky me that ubuntu is the one that's making it happen.
would be sweet unless they some how integrate unity
"That's absolutely amazing"
Like that they planning on keep all supported phones updated to the newest Ubuntu release.
I know it's not quite the same, but there is a way already to have ubuntu on our phones.

correct, but the current incarnations are actual installations, and they don't Sync immediately live between the two OS
the ones we got running right now are either virtualized version of Ubuntu in our phone, or they actually replace Android, and it requires much tweaking for it to do what currently is cooking at Ubuntu Dev
Does anyone have a leak of that beta development of Ubuntu for Android?
i want to try to make it work on our phones
Also how does one even sign up as a Dev on Ubuntu to get access to the repositories for Ubuntu Android?
This is probably not going to be easily backported to other devices. Like Android itself, it needs native drivers that homebrewers aren't really going to be able to code, so don't expect to see this running on our phones, at least not well enough to be more than a novelty.
It's cool tech, though, and especially on the new generation of phones with Krait or Core A15 this is going to be a real potential desktop replacement for a lot of people who only do light computing. I think this is ultimately where computing is going to go for most people, although it might be a few years before the technology is quite good enough.

You can expect it to start learning from you. For example, after a while it can give you traffic data to home right before you leave work/school on a consistent schedule

Yep and if you check in at your fav burger joint or strip club :cyclops:, GN can tell you the traffic, if any to get to that destination. Also you can also get your fav sports team scores, local stuff happening in your area, even notifying you when a package was sent. I love the integration of google keep as well. Awesomsauce all around IMO.
You can expect to get traffic and weather notifications for every single place you Google, sometimes weeks later. But nothing for important meetings on your calendar unto 45 too late.

I think Google Now is the only thing keeping me on Android. It's just become TOO useful when I was doing things like checking Maps on my desktop and finding that a card would be added to my Now list, giving directions and ETA if I were to leave right away.
I'm definitely enjoying the way it's implemented, and it's become a tool I can't imagine using a smartphone without anymore.
