Since I see no mention of it on our forum... I'll break the ice.
The port guide went up today on Ubuntu wiki. So, are there any devs working on it for the note 2?

+1 Ubuntu for our phones is a cm base plus the Ubuntu ui. Wish I had a box to try and port this.
Its on the Ubuntu site? I haven't been back there in a while since I formatted winblows an switched.

Then if it is really purely CM at heart it shouldn't be difficult to port

+1 on this, the ui looks very nice.......... i wish i knew how to port , i wanna learn this stuff.
I could give it a go, but I'm not sure how well it would go. best bet would be to just sit tight.

"I sent him a PM. Thanks I am glad to be here. The GN2 is an amazing phone with limitless possibilities. Today I ported ubuntu touch to the Gn2 I am going to clean it up before or if I release it. It was very easy to change it over to compile for our phones, ubuntu touch is fast sometimes and slow others. As far as I can tell those issues have nothing to do with anything I changed in porting so that would make it an upstream bug. Gonna have to wait for canonical to push out a new release.

Exactly. I made a build but I wont post it because it take far too long to go back and forth to a regular rom and there are far to many upstream bugs.
I was browsing the developer only section and saw slick_rick taking with other devs so we shouldn't be waiting to long for a build, if you're impatient there's a guide on how to build it but it's not for the faint of heart haha

Ehh probably wont release anything either. If anyone wants to use my source though, github.com/slickrick is where I have my Ubuntu Touch repos.
Seems like a vanity OS imho, I'd most definitely try a build once put out but will probably end up switching back to TW or AOSP within a week, lol

Well it seems like it turns your phone into a media device, so if you don't need signal, it should be fine since Wi-Fi and the font artifacts are gone? But I can see the issue of people not reading and complaining..

I'd like a ROM that turned into Ubuntu only when the note 2 was docked to a monitor. I'd probably stop using my laptop if I had that.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

I tried his ROM a couple weeks ago. It wouldn't even boot. It was the updated one in the toro section on goo.im. the only time I don't have a ROM boot is when there's something wrong with it.

Yeah everyone says PA.. Honestly I think the orca ROM can do what PA does then more.. I been running it since the update and my old prob is the ram usage...
Edit: also has anyone else tried that awesome auto hide navbar? I like it more then pie.. IMO its more responsive.. And pie just took to long open its nice eye candy though.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Just loaded this on.
I have to say I like a lot of the features like auto hide navbar, custom colors in messaging, phablet mode, etc.
I tried PA for the PIE mode, but wasn't impressed enough to keep it loaded.
I'll let it bake for a few days and see if I still like it at the end of the weekend.

Care substantiate such a claim which has likely deterred a bunch of people from trying this rom?
Out of all the 4.2.2 roms out right now, Orca Project in my opinion is at the top right now. I've had no problems with it, not one crash, and it's very efficient with great battery life, especially given how many customizations it's loaded with. Best of all I never had to get off my pink unicorn at TWRP riding into Orca Project.
I'm running it and I have been for a while I just tried switching to jellybro but I missed this ROM I flashed back within minutes lol. But I still wanna know what he's talking about...
Edit: actually I just realized this ROM looks a lot like carbonrom

Taking somebody's work without giving credit is just morally wrong, but doesn't mean its a good clean ROM. I was thinking like he was virus, credit card logging shady.

They made it far easier than actually cooking a ROM.
Using CM as a base and only adding a couple text lines is the most genius idea ever.
Not only that but apart from reaching out to the 95% of regular users they have reached out to root users as well

Right now its still in its early stages so i doubt we will see it for our phones anytime soon. Ive only seen it on one phone with official support from Ubuntu. That phone us the Nexus 4. However if you want to see how it looks head over to the Skyrocket thread and flash the one they have there. Ita just for UI tho so don't expect to play around with it. Also i dont know if the rotation fix will work but you will need it. Try it out but make a backup of your current ROM.

I doubt Ubuntu will be a daily driver on any device anytime soon. I tried the early release on my Nexus 7. Aside from being pretty, I was pretty meh. And without android play store integration, not gonna be very functional for a long while.

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!
