With so much news about Ubuntu Touch Preview extending to more and more devices any word on one of our dev's wanting to take the challenge?
Anyone........
:laugh:
Damnit I rushed into this thread cause the title mislead me lol. If i had more time in my life I would learn to develop and give it a shot.

CDMA does not work, it is unstable, and it has bricked some nexus 4s so the same would happen to us. It is not ready yet.

There are a lot of working updates and a lot of it is working so some one needs to get it worked on

It's getting closer, but no CDMA still, so it wouldn't be worth running for over ten minutes. Once CDMA works, I will definitely build it though.

I checked earlier and I don't seem to use CDMA so if you could maybe work on it a little bit for the people that don't have CDMA that would be so awesome!!!!!! I'll start diving and go cooking later.

If you are using this as a phone, you need CDMA to work. Otherwise, Call, Data, and Text will not work. EvDO and LTE also do not work, so you will have no service.

darn it
Canonical is also based in the UK, so CDMA will likely not be prioritized as it will be harder for them to test since they don't have access to it unless they partner with Sprint, Verizon, or another CDMA carrier.
Ubuntu Touch saucy is running pretty smooth now on the Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 with the saucy builds. Maybe we could try and port it now just for fun?

Seems like the Att version already has a clean ROM, and touch recovery.
Wondering why the sprint versions a little behind
Maybe we need to step up if no one else will. I wish I knew what I was doing more... I am doing the newbie guide in my spare time.. who knows, in another ten years we might have a rom.

I've got the Canadian version, and other than bloat apps and some carrier settings are they not the same phones for the most part? I might be talking out of my ass here, but should the devs not have too much trouble porting a custom Rom from one variant to the others.
Also, it really hasn't even been two weeks since the phone hit the market and it is already unlocked. I am making the assumption that all the variants will be getting some custom Rom love pretty soon. I'm sure it takes a bit of time.

1. Cm10.1- obvious(it is being worked on so no need to comment)
2. Cm9 im in air on this one. Its ics which we have but we should get jb very very soon.
3. Latest stock pimped out with aroma. If many dont know about aroma roms, its basically a customizable rom that lets you build your own version with tons and tons of options. I will of course be adding many many many addons to the current list.
4. Skinny revisted.

The thing I want most is CM 10.1. Now, my question is what about LTE? I know it was a massive effort to get wimax working with cm7/9 on the evo/evo 3d. If LTE won't be working then my next choice is a slimmed down stock rom with performance/battery mods, lightly themed. And a nice kernel to go with it

I obviously have no clue about any of this, but shouldn't you be able to take the gpu drivers from the nexus 4 since it's the same hardware? I would think that the camera and lte would be the biggest issues.

If the source to korean jb is close, then skip cm9 and go for option 3 (pimped out stock rom). Its faster that way right? It should keep people happy till source drops.

It would be nice to get Franco's kernel ported over from the N4. Im sure someone knows what to do.

Omg joker!! I won an s3 yesterday and decided to trade it for an optimus g instead. So happy and I did! Only because you are here! You did great with the photon I'm sure you will do fantastic with this. I just hope its not as closed as the photon was.

I did it before rohan on the sprint variant and it is mostly working, but I don't plan to release it. Flashing all n4 partitions is not a great idea and could brick your phone. Cm is coming. Just waiting on the Korean jb source.

Unless everything works like update PRL/Profile, LTE, reading all 32gb internal sdcard, etc., I wouldn't recommend going the N4 route.
Better to just wait for AOSP based roms once JB source is released.

Sorry to disappoint you guys, but I would feel guilty releasing this when I know that the repartition could kill your phone. I know the phone has been out and you guys have had to wait awhile, but you've waited this long, why screw your phone up when legitimate cm is close. With korean 3.4 kernel source, we will be able to have cm done fairly quickly. It's not up yet but will be soon. Also, I have some exciting stuff planned for after cm (sense, miui, and whatever else you guys want).

Hey, xbox, with the source would it be easy to port the Korean version of 4.1 too? I am not knocking CM. I just don't see what you gain.
I only ask because it might be a few months before we get updated from Sprint.

They're close to getting Data working for GSM devices, so CDMA will likely be soon after. Canonical says it should be a daily driver (IE: most peripherals working) by the end of the month.

It's a completely different experience. Different OS. It's like comparing ios and windows with android.
The main advantage to this though is that it is a bit easier for devs who have android app building experience to port their apps and even develop for.
It's one step closer to getting ubuntus name out there on the level of compition windows and mac have had for so long. The biggest step so far has been steam support for it's desktop version. Windows games are flooding in. Imagine this kind of support on a mobile device. Ubuntu has said that soon the same apps could be used cross platform desktop<-->mobile.
Sent from my HTCONE using xda premium
Another advantage is that officially supported quad-core phones will have Ubuntu Desktop as an option when connecting to an external display.

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!
