[Nexus 10 General] teh_cANONs:
well, it seams no one is actively working on this. i guess im going to try my hands at development and see if i can get a proof of concept. ill post here again if i hit a stumbling block or make a breakthrough
[Nexus 10 General] 3DSammy:
Although the link below is an update on the release of a Ubuntu phone it also mentions tablets. "... will be available on a full range of devices, including desktop and tablet computers ...". I also like that the first target device for the Ubuntu phone is "optimized for the Galaxy Nexus handset".

From Feb 6th: http://blogs.wsj.com/cio/2013/02/06/ubuntu-smartphone-shipping-in-october/

It gives me hope that eventually we have an Ubuntu option on the Nexus 10, hopefully in a dual-boot configuration. Which is one of the reasons I am holding out for a 32GB model when/if they every become abailable in Canada.
[Nexus 10 General] styckx:
The problem with Canonical is.. I've yet to see a glimmer of hope they made Bloatbuntu into a lightweight distribution of Linux. The Nexus 7 version was a steaming pile and good for nothing except to brag about how you have Ubuntu on your tablet. They have a phone coming out in October also.

Here is my thing.. Android is portable Linux already. Yes, it's Java based but the same principles and kernel are at hand. Why would I want a desktop version of Linux hamfisted into some convoluted tablet variant? You know who else tried turning a desktop OS into a phone and Tablet OS?? Et Hem... You see how well that turned out? Get me a version of Debian, Gentoo or Arch I can install on a phone or tablet and THEN you'll peak my interest.

And that phone in October is going to be a disaster..
[Nexus 10 General] EniGmA1987:
Someone just got Unbuntu Lucid running. Unfortunately one of the moderators is removing all trace of its existence on these forums for seemingly no reason. The threads look exactly the same info as other threads on booting Ubuntu with other devices that we have here on XDA.
[Nexus 10 General] Jotokun:
Do you mean this? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2139575

If so, that's just a chrooted linux which many of us already have going. What's being discussed here is real, 100% native, no android in the background linux.
[Nexus 10 General] mymusicathome:
Just checked out WWW.ubuntu.com... Looks like a tablet announcement in 16 hours.

I know the nexus s and 4 are getting a taste... Fingers crossed the 10 gets some action too :)
[Nexus 10 General] sidthegreatest:
Whatever it is, no tablet can run it better than the N10 :)
[Nexus 10 General] Jotokun:
Definitely have my fingers crossed. I'll admit I'm not a fan of Ubuntu, but this would at least open the door to other distributions like Debian or Arch.
[Nexus 10 General] styckx:
That's the only thing I'm hoping for myself. A pure debian experience in my hands would be amazing.. I'm very skeptical though about Canonical's intentions and execution here.. If it's just a watered down Linux with locked doors in place keeping you from building on it and changing it. Then screw em..
[Nexus 10 General] espionage724:
I heard it was related to HTC (both Ubuntu and HTC have a similar counter on their pages it seems) but then I heard it was coincidence. I do hope it is just coincidence and that it'll be something for the Nexus 10 :)
[Nexus 10 General] dalingrin:
I think it has a far better chance of being for the Nexus 7 :(
[Nexus 10 General] stiggy2012:
Doesn't the N7 already have an ubuntu port?
[Nexus 10 General] dalingrin:
It barely works. We haven't seen much of the tablet work they've been doing yet.
[Nexus 10 General] 3DSammy:
Here is a podcast showing the install and some use of Ubuntu on Nexus 7.

Hak5 1220, Free your Nexus 7 - Make it run Ubuntu!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9W7E5S5YhE

What you see right away is that the interface is not tuned for a Tablet, also the Nexis 7 screen size is just too small for how it was implemented.

I fully expect that in today's announcement that we will see a much better touch-tablet tuned interface. And yes I am one of the people with fingers crossed that the Nexus 10 is a candidate target for this implementation.
[Nexus 10 General] espionage724:

[Nexus 10 General] styckx:
Edit nevermind.. That big old countdown for something we already knew about and they already showed live demos of.
[Nexus 10 General] dalingrin:
Fantastic news. I'm really glad I didn't go through with porting Linux to the Nexus 10 =)

Now we need two things:

-Boot manager to dual boot Android and Ubuntu

-Android app compatibility

My guess is Android app compatibility will be difficult for the community to make but we should be able to make a boot manager/bootloader
[Nexus 10 General] styckx:
I'll give it a whirl on the 21st but expecting disappointment. Everything I'm supposed to hate I end up liking and everything I'm supposed to like I end up hating.

Their mythology is sound. What you do on the phone or tablet you can also do on the PC.. How all that actually comes out we'll see.

I'm fully expecting a xorg and kernel update to break my tablet video drivers and boot me to just a purple screen within two days though. :laugh: :good:

Edit:

It's bloated right out of the box..
[Nexus 10 General] newellj79:
I agree and am super excited! I hope, as you mentioned, that a dual boot install is created. If you end up endeavoring to do it yourself I would be happy to test.
[Nexus 10 General] dalingrin:
If there were no challenges to using GNU Linux stack on slow embedded devices then there wouldn't have been any reason for Google to make Android in the first place.
[Nexus 10 General] Jotokun:
Wow... no desktop mode on dual-core A15s? That ruins much of the excitement I had about trying it out... I'm really hoping that information is wrong. At least being open source it should be easy to fix, and if its just too heavy then worst case scenario swap Unity for LXDE.
[Nexus 10 General] styckx:
I prefer Mate myself but LXDE would do the trick also.. Or worse comes to worse Openbox..
[Nexus 10 General] syraz:
Wow, never been a big Ubuntu fan, always enjoyed Suse/OpenSuse but I do really like the look of that Ubuntu for tablets

Well looks like this is it. May give it a go this afternoon. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Install
[Nexus 10 General] demonguard:
Has any progress been made on running some form of desktop linux on the nexus 10? Is it possible we could modify the Ubuntu Touch release to run a more standard desktop environment?

I'd love to use my 10 with keyboard/mouse as a portable development environment but the utilities available in android just don't cut it.
[Nexus 10 General] dalingrin:
I doubt the touch release will help since it relies on CyanogenMod 10.1 for bring up and doesn't use X11.
[Nexus 10 General] jshafer817:
Try this you guys..

http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/raring-desktop-armhf+omap4.img Though it says omap4, it worked on my qualcomm (touchpad).

Use that as a Root FileSystem..

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2146089

There is also a 12 and 11.10 thread.

Take a look at the kernel configs we use. And our ramdisk. You will need to use uimage-extract from moboot to seperate the kernel and ramdisk from uImage.

Look at the configs.. Ubuntu needs V4L stuff for the kernel. Look at the init in the ramdisk. Change them to work for the Nexus 10.

Good luck! Feel free to look at the touchpad rootfs.. We don't run Unity.... Though.. I should try to recompile the latest freedreno stuff.

It should at least boot.. Ours does for moboot and the touchpad. We had to alter xorg and stuff for video.. You can also create a ram console kernel. This is nice, as you can adb into ubuntu without installing adb as it's built into the kernel. Rob Clark from Freedreno taught me that.

Peace!

Something to read:

Anyhow, Ubuntu 13.04 will improve support for this latest ARM Chromebook to run Google's OS. The Ubuntu 13.04 repository just received ARM's new universal X.Org graphics driver, a.k.a. the xf86-video-armsoc DDX. This is a generic ARM SoC DDX driver for the X.Org Server originally derived from the xf86-video-omap driver.

Other then that, there seem to be only 2 open source gpu drivers other then xf86-video-armsoc... lima and freedreno.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Aranen_Zen:
Is anyone using a different launcher? What S pen features work and what do you lose....?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Astom22:
I'm using Apex, haven't lost a thing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] fprice02:
Using Nova, no loss at all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jow350:
Using Nova, everything works. The only thing I can note is that the S Pen app doesn't automatically launch after removing the pen any longer. Not sure if that can be restored, but I have not investigated that since I actually like it better this way.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Smartino666:
Apex. Only loss is when the Spen is removed the Page Buddy doesnt open automatically and the Spen icon is not displayed in the status bar.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ThaiM:
So Apex and Nova, you lose certain S Pen features. And I believe multiview will not work with 3rd party launchers as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] powerwagon:
Incorrect...multiview works perfectly on Nova and I would assume for Apex as well. Pagebuddy doesn't open on 3rd party launchers, but all the apps within Pagebuddy work fine, you just have to open them individually instead of the page automatically opening. No big deal and the advantages of the launchers far outweight that one negative. In my opinion anyway.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Xelstyle:
That's a shame to hear that Page buddy gets broken.

Sent from my GT-I9100M
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] powerwagon:
Just put the s pen widget on a screen and problem solved
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Smartino666:
Totally agree while page buddy doesnt pop up automatically all the functionality is there just put Snote on your desktop and its ready to go. The Soen itself works fine under these launchers
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] MarcianoS:
Same thing with Holo. Another mildly annoying thing with Holo is that the exposé-like animation (which shows all your screens and allows you to switch to any one of them without cycling) is slow and choppy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] futuregerald:
In my experience nova and apex aren't as smooth as the stock touchwhiz launcher is on this phone. Not saying they are laggy or anything but it is noticeable. I have the paid versions of nova and apex because in general I prefer them, but I've been using touchwhiz with 4x5 mod and perseus kernel and loving it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] powerwagon:
TW on this phone is the first stock launcher that I would consider as smooth as Nova...however, the lack of scrolling dock kills it for me. If TW had that, I would definitely stick with it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Aranen_Zen:
I could live with out the scrolling dock, I just want a fully customizable dock..... But still want s pen features... I'm sure there will be ROMs to fix this...:D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] powerwagon:
I doubt it since you lose no s pen features with Apex or Nova...those are the two launchers most used by devs when making ROMs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Aranen_Zen:
Got my note 2...:D. Using nova. Everything is working fine. Going to wait till bre is up to root just incase. I wonder how does nova react to multi Window roms?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] EskimoRuler:
It works fine for me using The Hybrid ROM. I haven't experienced any trouble with it at all
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ghetto Geeksta:
I'm loving Apex! Everything seems to work fine so far. But why can't I re-size my icons in Apex, even though the option to re-size any icon is selected?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] cmstlist:
I have posted before about how my Springboard won't connect to WIND Mobile, but it will connect on my PC Mobile SIM. According to the FCC it has the frequencies compatible for both networks.

But here's an interesting twist: I inserted an old deactivated WIND SIM, and noticed that in the About Tablet > Status screen it correctly listed under MDN the phone number attached to that SIM. I then opened Shazam which has an option to write a help e-mail that includes my IMEI and IMSI, and I noted that it listed the IMSI of the SIM card correctly as well.

Then I inserted my current, active WIND SIM, and tried the same. No phone number, and blank IMSI. My active WIND SIM works just fine in my Galaxy Nexus and Nexus One though.

So I keep testing... It happens that for the purpose of diagnostics I keep all my old SIMs around. So my old deactivated Fido SIM? Check, it sees the old phone # and IMSI just fine.

An old Bell SIM that I used to have on a tablet plan? MDN unknown, IMSI blank.

A currently active T-Mobile SIM that has a phone plan on it? MDN unknown, IMSI blank.

An inactive AT&T SIM I used to use for GoPhone? MDN is the correct phone number, IMSI correct.

An old Mobilicity SIM I used for two weeks before it was deactivated? MDN unknown, but IMSI correct. (Mobilicity had an issue at the time where active SIMs did not always have phone numbers properly stored on them, so this is consistent.)

What's the pattern? Well, I lined them up in the attached photo against the backdrop of my lovely new Nexus 7 3G. If the Springboard could read the IMSI, I put the SIM in the top row. If not, I put it in the bottom row. (The one second from the top right is the PC SIM that I cut down to micro and it's back in its original shell for the photo).

Are you seeing what I'm seeing? The five SIMs it can read appear to have four different types of contacts, but the three SIMs it can't read all have exactly the same type of contacts. Have you experienced anything like this, where a certain SIM just won't be recognized by your MediaPad or Springboard?

*edit*

It's only the second on that's broken. You RaymanFX recovery link is broken too though. The link in my signature goes where you want though.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] st0nedpenguin:
This is just linking to a nightly?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] grgmre:
If it is, it'll be the third one. ;) The previous two compile RaymanFX's changes into the cyanogen nightly line to (essentially) update his work with cyanogen's newer work. Why wouldn't you just release CM10 as is? Well, it turns out the 'official' CM10 for the TF101 is broken - it's outdated and slow, and flat out doesn't work very well. It's the reason RaymanFX has been working so hard. He's had to rebuild the cyanogen source files and update a lot to make sure it runs as well as it does. He's currently trying to 'fix' 4.2.0 which is just busted right out of the gate from Google so hats off to you Chris!

Is his work perfect? It turns out that no, it isn't. His kernel is super fast, but there's an issue with the wireless (driver?). timduru has stepped in with his own kernel that supports RaymanFX's 4.1.2 CM and together they're pretty close to perfect. timduru's kernel is almost as fast, but has an excellent wi-fi connection.

RaymanFX is also very busy working on a half dozen projects so after his initial releases, and a point upgrade or two, they tend to fall by the way-side. This is where gierdo comes into play, compiling the v6 into the 'official' nightlies once a week or so.

So.. layer upon layer, currently there are three guys taking cyanogen's work and improving it to the point where I can walk into the Apple Store while my wife's off checking out makeup at Sephora and play with their iPads and think to myself.. "this thing is kind of laggy".

lecongdon - I'm not trying to crap on your doorstep with this post, and anyone who's got the time to make the TF101 a better tablet is awesome in my eyes. This tablet isn't super high on the list as far as 'official' cyanogen releases goes and it's got a few quirks that the main line doesn't address. I'd personally love to be able to just hit that cyanogen update button and sit back and watch the magic happen, but to make this tablet sing there's a bit of work involved from several difference sources and that involves a few unofficial ideas. :)
