I've been wondering if anyone would want to have an ubuntu on their phones.Like you can see on the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLtcj7FdIYA&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Basically I like it'it's smooth and guy on the vid said;"it can be done for variety of devices".So I would like to see if anyone is interested in this project "Ubuntu on SXS",and do you like it?

Linux distro will be coming out with their own phones and a cellular plan from what I've heard

I like it so much & I dreaming it will be port to our Xperia S
Yes they are coming with their own line,but if we can port it,why the heck not?!Honestly I would like to see this on my Xperia S...and maybe with the dual boot option we have we could have both the Android and Ubuntu

Nah, it just uses a modded Linux kernel
I believe its very similiar not for sure tho

Android is Linux, but I guess you mean a desktop OS like Ubuntu. While you cannot replace it from my knowlededge, you can run them simultaneously, albeit slowly. I haven't tested this with the Xperia Play, but hey, it's worth a shot! Search Opensourcegangster on Youtube.
Just search backtrack for android and bam

Today, Canonical announced the Ubuntu Phone OS, which will, in the near future, will be installable on current Android devices, starting with the Galaxy Nexus I believe. Is it just me, or cam anyone else not wait for this?!
For those of you who haven't seen it yet, here's the link: www.ubuntu.com/devices/phone

Awesome the more options the merrier!
It looks pretty slick. Options are always better. Would love for our devs to be able to cook some of those features in android. Open source ftw!
I can't wait!

Really hope we can dual-boot this OS, it looks so pretty!
Does indeed look interesting .. saw it on flipboard .. cant wait til its installable

Exciting news
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.

They want to release devices, but you will also be able to put it on current devices. Conanical is trying to make there OS aio so it can be installed on phones, tablets, and computers.

Its already installable by computer. And phone/tablet but not the version that morphs like the one they are displaying.

I know it's already installable on computer, I used Ubuntu up until unity. You didn't have to correct me on that one;I was clarifying.

Besides Ubuntu was always modified, by developers to be compatible with phones and tablets.

This look nice hope it don't kill android because this look like the ios of the future.

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

Very interesting indeed, just hope they don't build amazon search into it like they have on the desktop version.

I wouldnt care to much for Ubuntu on my GNII unless it was easily (ie: switch SD cards is all it would require to dualboot into ubuntu) applicable and then when I want to go back to regular I just put back in my original SD... until then this just isnt going to be the device for that OS

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.
I am thinking about buying a nexus 4 just to run Ubuntu. I am going to install it on my nexus 7 tomorrow morning first thing.

Yes it would be nice also if they gave the hd2 treatment to the gn2 and make this phone a rom flashing monster!!! Haha those were the days lol...anyway back to flashing Ubuntu...I can only wonder how itll run with our large screens mhmm lol

Could someone with porting skills port the jelly bean ROM of lg spectrum 2 we have the same graphics and processor. Would it be easy? Or hard? I love the way lg device ui looks and I don't know how to do it myself.

Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
It's a nice idea and all, but this will likely never happen. With a ton of work you MIGHT be able to get a proof of concept that merely boots, but has zero functionality. We would need proprietary LG drivers (as well as a way to either change them to run on the S3 or rewrite them from the ground up), frameworks and someone who knows both Samsung and LG code inside and out to even have an extremely small chance of this happening.
