This may be a stupid question which has a simple answer (no). But I thought I'd ask anyway.
When the ubuntu for tablets comes out on Thursday, will it be possible for Kindle Fire 2 users to flash it just like how cyanogenmod is flashed (TWRP) or the method described here? - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Install
I'm guessing not, but worth a try.
Feel free to use this for discussion.
Edit: Turns out Ubuntu mobile is utilising some of cyanogenmod's code - https://plus.google.com/u/0/115049428938715274412/posts/cYtVT2pb9ZT
Well of course we would need to get the kernel integrated into it but yeah i think we could get it to work. I think it'd be amazing

I think the dual boot might be an issue as you would run out of space on the device. Must agree that Ubuntu tablet looks very cool and makes JB look slightly dated =-O

Looks like it will be possible after all. I'm quite excited to see what happens, please post updates here if you hear of any. I'd like to trial this ASAP.
Actually, I came to this forum after taking a long break from modding specifically to see if anyone had taken a look at the tablet version of Ubuntu along with the Ubuntu phone code released a few days ago. I'm in the process of setting up a machine as my modding environment right now so I can poke around a bit with both as soon as I manage to locate a copy of the tablet os.

Holy crap. This is VERY possible. Canonical uses CM10 as their base for Android, so in theory any dual core device capable of running CM10 can run Ubuntu Touch Preview without much trouble. Tomorrow night, I'll give it a try and see if I can build it using their instructions and your CM-based rom (which is what I am already running on my KF2 anyway)

Nice, can't wait to see the results. Don't even care if it's sluggish and nothing works, still pure awesomeness.
Not to be rude....but this IS the development section, and you asked a question
I legitimately believed that you were posting "Ubuntu for tablets" and not a question about it.
I'm not mad at you, like any other wrong post I wouldn't comment on, this just REALLY got my hopes up then I was just like "oh, I guess I'll wait then "
Can't wait to see it soon thought hopefully. Looks like it will be fairly easy to do.

I actually did notice the box 'are you asking a question' but I felt it sort of needed to be posted here anyways since people who'd normally frequent this part of the forums may not venture into the Q&A section and I wanted their input.

It would seem that TWRP 2.0 is the best option as a recovery for the KF because of its touch interface. 2.0 is not available to the public yet but the team is willing to help get it running on the KF. I have emailed the team and they said they just need devs whom own the device to get on board. I have enough experience to attempt a port and do some testing but not enough experience to do it alone. Anyone interested? Lets go! PM me, post here, and definately stop by the TWRP chat #[email protected] The source for twrp is available via github and there is some info on the twrp website. This seems way more realistic then trying some multi push button Clockwork port

I've put a call out you're anyone in Austin to meet up for an evening, we'll get TWRP2 working. It's currently still closed-source, so only TW members can port the GUI at present. The build tree is kinda a mess, but we've already started the effort. Just need to test and calibrate.

I use an app called Quick Boot. You can boot into recovery, bootloader, reboot or power off the unit. I think I also have it on my phone. Its a free app (might be in Google's Store, I can't remember where I got it actually.) There also is a pay version but I don't really know what the difference is.
Downloading now, any landmines we should watch for?
Looks interesting , should i do a full wipe coming from other cm10 roms?

Can i install this rom on top of the Hashcode's CM10 without losing data ?
You completely took the concept of Alien droid and made it your own. You sent us messages saying if you can post this modified ROM or make it public and we specifically said you can only use it for personal use and nothing else. Basically you took out the GUI settings and tweaked it a bit. I advise you take it down immediately. I also sent you a message of the authenticity of this rom.
I am guessing this is the ROM you wanted me to include in my video. I can't do that without any download links or an official ROM. When you have a working link message me.

You asked what android version does it work for, hence I said it's not android. There is no mention of it running a similar structure to android like firefoxOS, so if the hardware supports it, the android version won't matter at all.
The video says it might be premiered on Nokia first.
Looks like they opened a forum for this on XDA. Jolla Sailfish
To be totally honest with all,some will agree with and some wont,but i dont care how many ways you twist and turn it,ICS,JB and Sense is all the same,stacked side by side(i do mean the UI),all these new roms look the same but have different tweaks or a new theme,im guilty of it also,it continues to look all the same,thats why im gonna do some serious researching into this Sailfish OS and try to drop it on the EVO world,i think its time for a change,for us that have fallin behind.
It hasn't been released yet. There is actually a thread for it on XDA.
