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.
Just my 2 cents.

Can Someone make a Froyo Rom for the epic touch

the reason I would want to go back to an old version is because of the sound bug. I can not game on the current os version. most of the game that I play crash on me. It just crash and go back to the home screen without any errors. I was thinking that the Froyo version might not have the sound bug. I don't want to wait for ICS because my old games might not be compatible with it.
Yeah, what the hell make a CM6 one while your at it! lol
I don't think it's a Gingerbread thing, I think it's a Samsung Galaxy S II thing.
How about a cupcake rom? Then we won't have Google maps support or jit! No seriously, why would you want to downgrade the os? How about just a fix on our current software? This would have been relevant on a g1, but not our dual core super phone.

Wow this is a first. I've never seen a request to downgrade Android. As far as games go I've never had any issues with them and I play quite a few on mine. Can you name a few of the games that give you issues?
If u want ill trade u a htc hero for the epic touch... Lol

Your logic isn't sound. What reason do you have to believe this has anything to do with Gingerbread? Considering our phone has plenty of other bugs unique to it, the obvious assumption is this is a bug with our phone. One that's likely to be fixed in the next update. A FroYo ROM would just add several hundred more bugs into the mix since it wouldn't be officially supported and fully tested.
No one is gonna make a ROM just for 1 specific issue. I play games all the time no issues here.
This is the funniest request I have seen in a long time. I do give the op props though. At least he didn't post this in development section.

Better yet any way to get a greyscale LCD theme?
It'd be easier for a dev to fix our current ROM than to make a Froyo rom...
And i want some doughnut wait ios 5 would be even more of a downgrade so ill take that instead

OK... So I don't ever want to flash a LGOG ROM again lol

Did anyone see on our AT&T variant forum that they found a way to flash all Nexus 4 partitions, (bootloader, recovery, kernel, and system) to convert your LGOG to a Nexus 4!!! I am so waiting for them to try this out on our device so I can do it and flash N4 ROMs from then on
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
Just saw that thread. Lol, there's a team working on it for us too but that is insanity at its finest. Looking forward to that in the future!
I cannot wait, the N4 has a bunch of roms, mods and everything else I want to get my hands on lol this really makes me happy that I got this phone

Finally.
Someone in that thread said all we would have to do is change the partitions to Sprint and it should work. Which seems weird, but i guess it could work. But their device is the GSM and ours isn't...? So who knows. But I have a feeling xboxfanj will have something for us soon.

Well unless the SOC's are similar or the drivers are multipurpose and it already has the CDMA drivers built in.. which I highly doubt we could use it but..

Yea I was very tempted to try something lol but I'll hold off, I don't think everybody understands how big this is tho, this opens up the door to so much more with this phone, ROMs, MODs, newer versions of android, etc... This means we'll have the best nexus phone now

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.

I trust my man xboxfanj, he always kept my epic in better than new condition with his ROMs. If he says not a good idea, I will take his word no matter how depressed I become.

As soon as the Korean jb sources are out, cm10-10.1 will be fairly easy. I highly recommend waiting until then. It should be very soon.

Yea I feel the same, even tho I would rather turn my phone to a nexus 4, if he says its not a good idea then I'll take his word also. That definitely caused some major excitement in the community tho, I couldnt stop looking at xda to see if we got a thread to do that with our phones lol

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).
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
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.
Thanks

Ubuntu (yeah I know...)

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.

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.

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!
