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?
let's wait and see
Thanks for great news

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.

I never liked miui, it's too iphonish, I'd rather run a stock rom than miui
Sent from Flip's S3
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.
It's on http://ubuntu.com then goto Devices and Ubuntu for Android

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.

No offense, we have to agree IOS is more acceptable. I was Iphone user, and I love how IOS desgins its UI. You get around things much faster and easier.

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.

+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.

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.

Got a thread going right here, and there is already someone taking a stab at it. Come on over and help support an amazing OS, an amazing phone, and the hard work the devs put into porting something like this.
So I'm not sure but do we have any restrictions with aosp and drivers?, The reason why is I'd like to try and build Ubuntu touch for our LG OG.
Also I haven't tried anything like this and maybe would like some help from anyone willing to help.

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.

Even without custom roms I think I would keep my OG Pro for a daily driver,its just a solid phone... But the flash-a-Hollic in me is climbing the walls waiting for, CM 10.1, stock de-bloated, carbon, paranoid android, ECT..... I get all tingly just thinking about it....
When the f*ck did we get ice cream??
Problem is not many devs have this phone at all. Unfortunately on similar less than popular phones it has taken nearly a year to have a few ROMs that are worthy of being a daily driver. Happens a lot when you deviate from mainstream. I'm only interested in mods and overclocked kernals or maybe if it were really great, stock based ROMs myself. CM 10.1 is good but with any device it takes forever to have a RC, most never do. Plus the loss of the lg ir remote app would eat at me and I love love the pop up texts.
I'm doing the same thing...I keep checking around the web every few hours hoping to find some aosp to flash.

Agreed The LG software isn't AWFUL, but I wanna go back to Cyanogenmod so badly! I wish I knew how to develop ROMs...
Guys...plz be patient. CM is in the works but there are still kinks to be worked out before it'll be released. The same guys working on it are the same that dev`d for the E970. So we are in good hands. Besides....the stock Optimus UI should be plenty good to hold us down for now.

Wait so it's official that there are people working on it? That's all I care about, I was worried everyone was kinda looking at each other expecting someone else to start working on it! As long as it's in the works, I'm fine waiting as long as it takes!
Maybe the European release end of July brings some more customers (some of it being developers?)
I'm checking for Roms, too. Once in a while.
