Re: Canonical releases Ubuntu Mobile

It would be foolhardy to take a keynote as anything but fluff. Why would a call company say anything other than hype for an upcoming product? When a launch is less than 2 weeks away and all the information about it is fluff the only reasonable expectation is a bomb.

hah it certainly will within the next 15 days (or less) I hope. Although the wait feels like forever how would you have felt if they announced this 12-6 months prior?

Well just because some people use android don't mean that's what they wanted... When Nokia abandoned meego over WP , what to use? Android was the closest reality to choose ..

I think it is funny that new OS'es like Ubuntu Phone and Blackberry 10 use Qt QML.. What Nokia invented for their own, but will never use :)

Yes Feb 21st !

It has been stated that it will support the

Nexus GSM & the new Nexus 4

for all you upgraders.

Touch Install img / instructions will be posted here

For all other android device users this will be good news:

“Our platform supports a wide range of screen sizes and resolutions. Developers who have experience bringing up phone environments will find it relatively easy to port Ubuntu to current handsets” said Pat McGowan
[Ubuntu Touch General] HaiKaiDo:
Where did you read that its only the GSM version of the Gnexus?

**Edit**

I went and did some digging and found this.https://lists.launchpad.net/ubuntu-phone/msg00125.html

Confirmation straight from the source. no CDMA support. That blows.
[Ubuntu Touch General] insane08:
That is based on previous reports, various interviews focused on GSM. Canonical has not said anything regarding cdma.
[Ubuntu Touch General] LiamLC:
What??? that really sucks! I have sprint :(

Do you guys think that there will be a way to get it working on CDMA??
[Ubuntu Touch General] tallnerd1985:
Re: Canonical releases Ubuntu Mobile

Like I said before in this thread, a custom RIL for CDMA/LTE will need to be compiled from the Android sourcecode to get telephony services to work. At first, I think Calls, SMS and data will get a hackjob running but I believe MMS might be a ***** to get working. But we will see after the 21st on what exactly needs to be done to get this to work on the Toro or other CDMA devices.

Clearly he asked the possibility to install the android whatsapp app on Ubuntu..that not possible

Of course if Ubuntu go in the right direction when in October will be out the first phone with Ubuntu os, after an other half year, the whatsapp team could consider to release a proper app..even if this possibility it already hard

U should consider how much time android required to become popular

TDP is meant for us Enthusiast and Developers as a preview to the upcoming new Mobile OS for us to familiarize its features and develop something early on. This will be a whole new community sharing each others sources and improving things out. As said by a friend of mine at Ubuntu community, updates are targeted to also be available at daily basis (just like CM Nightlies). If that's the case, what they would have in MWC will also get it without going there. Although I don't think the release will be prior or at same time as when they reveal it on MWC. Also I don't think lagging would be a bigger issue on the TDP, as I don't think that they would release something the prematurely on Ubuntu/Dev Community, it's their reputation on the line.

As for the availability of those said tools, I still dont have an Idea how will we flash Ubuntu. As I also been waiting for the necessary tools and sources that will be used. For installation, download info bookmark this page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TouchInstallProcess. That will be updated at February 21, 2013.

According to a thread post by an Canonical employee I believe he said that it will be flashable via twrp or any recovery system. If not they might possibly release a similar app like the ubuntu desktop installer for the Nexus 7.

on that case It will be released on 21st at 4 am lol..I honestly wouldn't mind waking up randomly at night to install this either.

I dont care about much but just worried about my contacts sync abilities. I don't want to have to manually save contacts :eek:

Re: Canonical releases Ubuntu Mobile

Without a JVM/DVM, we can expect not only better battery life but better performance, I mean VMs really screw over OSes, the fact that Android runs in a VM is just... Disturbing.

Since only the GSM version is fully open sourced, it'll take some Xda Dev work to make thus happen for the Verizon and Sprint GalNex owners, but no doubt it'll happen.

It'll become available for download at 3am PST on the 21st. How do I know? I don't, but until now you ate that up :P
[Ubuntu Touch General] amishcrusader:
If I had no interest in making phone calls work, it should be possible to put the GSM version on a sprint/verizon phone, correct? Just disable anything relating to GSM binaries and startup items?
[Ubuntu Touch General] jimmyco2008:

Well if Ubuntu for Mobile is installed the same way Boot2Gecko (Firefox OS) is, via fast boot, we should just be able to flash it, and it'll run normally minus anything radio-related.

Re: Canonical releases Ubuntu Mobile

Sorry if this question was already answered but what are the chances of the aircrack functionality to work with this Ubuntu release?
[Ubuntu Touch General] jimmyco2008:
Ooooo solid question, I don't think anyone's asked that yet. Well as you probably know, for AirCrack to work one needs Linux, a compatible WiFi chipset and the router you're trying to crack has to WEP. I'm not sure if the GalNex's WiFi chip would be supported, and even then someone would have to port AirCrack as an app for Ubuntu for Mobile.

I'm sure someone else can chime in with more/better info.

It's on their website, guys.

Ubuntu for Android is the add-on to an Android phone that runs Ubuntu when the phone is docked.

Ubuntu for Phones/Mobile is what they're releasing for the GalNex this Thursday, the mobile OS replacement to Android.

The two are unrelated more or less.

Yeah you are right... But I am not a hacker I was just wondering more possibilities..

---------- Post added at 12:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:19 AM ----------

yep the external microusb cabled Wi-Fi adapter drain battery a lot and lose all the meaning of "portable" being easier to use a laptop instead... But was good to hear about the other possibilities... I work in a company who offer some security diagnose like find holes into their system (using backtrack sometimes) so that might be useful... Anyway it's also off the topic...
[Ubuntu Touch General] jimmyco2008:
Yeah no doubt about it, it'd be cool to hack WEP APs for fun, even if one isn't a "hacker" per sé.

SixFootPigeon, I doubt it'll be flashable like CyanogenMod 10. It's not Android so one has to flash boot.img, system.img, etc. Which requires Fastboot, which requires USB :/

Of course no one knows 100% what they're going to do.

I know the PS4 is supposedly going to be announced on Wednesday, HTC is supposed to announce another 1080p phone, and there's this.

I say coincidence, though if any phone/tablet manufacturer would adopt anything other than Android, I would think it'd be HTC... Moto is owned by Google, Android only over there, Samsung is too busy with the GSIV, and LG doesn't make tablets... Maybe an HTC Ubuntu tablet?

But again, several events coincide at CES, because multiple companies hold keynotes and such at the same time in different auditoriums... Could be coincidence.

The best part of that video was the end where he went over how they view their OS working together. A phone OS, a tablet OS, connect the two and use your tablet as a phone as well.
