No, it's an entirely different OS. Flashing ubuntu os will remove Android (unless they setup some kind of dual-boot as default). I would imagine they will be distributing .img files to flash via fastboot. Guess we'll find out soon enough.

I would love to see this ported to the HP touchpad :)

Glas I got my 16gb nexus 4 this morning just in time for tea and biscuits Ubuntu thank you.

If canonical sells ubuntu to Google i will install windows on my pc rightaway.

Also ubuntu is open-source :).

Sv: Ubuntu phone os

As you lose the ability to run Android apps you get the ability to run Windows applications it seems (in desktop mode). But still advanced Windows apps won't replace your simplified and phone optimized Android apps.
[Nexus 4 General] Moritzr1:
Hmm, i thought that Ubuntu for Android (critically not Ubuntu for phones) actually kept the phone running stock Android when not docked...? On another note, with steam releasing a version for Linux will our android phones be able to play any more serious games? I have heard that the adreno 320 has about the same graphics horsepower as the Xbox 360
[Nexus 4 General] big gulps huh?:
I could be wrong, but I do not believe that Steam is able to run on an ARM processor (like that in the Nexus 4). So no, you would not be able to run games from steam (yet).

This is different they are releasing a mobile platform and it doesn't need android to run android and Ubuntu are both Linux based it's not that hard to make a switch in fact you may be able to keep your recovery
[Nexus 4 General] jutley:
Will it work on other android phones like the note 2 or blackberry z10
[Nexus 4 General] Nuu~:
Not by default.

Also, the bb z10 runs blackberry 10 and not android (it has the ability to run absurd Asia though)

Edit:

Woah, how did manage to write absurd Asia instead of android apps?
[Nexus 4 General] speedyjay:
I can't wait for this to become available :) new to the nexus 4 btw, came from the note 2 but decided upon a change :) could someone tell me how to create a new thread?? I can't see the menu button anywhere :noob: lol
[Nexus 4 General] XupModz:
If im not mistaken they are still Linux running android is not the key it's the Linux kernel that it runs over top of so in theory any android phone and the bb z10 should be capable but conocal would have to design it for that device
[Nexus 4 General] casonswag:
Lol the menu button is the three dots that shows up on the nav bar

Hey would our android apps work on the unbuntu os?
[Nexus 4 General] heat361:
Sadly android apps won't run, but I was thinking maybe a dev could make a virtual machine that runs android apps like bb10 just better lol
[Nexus 4 General] casonswag:
Yea thatll be cool if they could i wonder how many unbuntu apps that supports it already i guess well just have to see 2 days!
[Nexus 4 General] heat361:
I think it will come with the basic apps. I don't think they made an app store yet, but it will be good to try out for a day or two, then I'll head back to android.
[Nexus 4 General] XupModz:
I don't play games on my phone or anything so I think I'll stay permanently I'm so anxious I am eating my fingers as I type
[Nexus 4 General] cYbOrG5:
was wondering if any one knows whether the ubuntu os itself comes in flashable zip via twrp of cwm? that would make my day :D
[Nexus 4 General] stormtroopercs:
Quite possibly. Some one will probably make it a zip. When it's first released it's most likely going to be fastboot
[Nexus 4 General] TECK:
Very laggy, from the video. I'll stick with Android for a very long time.
[Nexus 4 General] stormtroopercs:
Yeah.. Of course! it's still in alpha right? Should be good when finished.
[Nexus 4 General] falconrulz:
Ahh, there's another video somewhere which has no almost no lag. C'mon this is Ubuntu, they're not going to release a broken OS, even for Beta testing.
[Nexus 4 General] casonswag:
Their releasing it as a image just like our updates from google excluding the ota so well have to flash through fastboot unless someone here makes a flashable
[Nexus 4 General] kipue:
One concern I ve got, and I couldn t make certain:

Will the data be preserved? I m off course not talking about apps/sms and such, but about pictures, music etc.?

Just wondering :)
[Nexus 4 General] mrbkkt1:
As usual when flashing anything, back up important stuff first.
[Nexus 4 General] pjc123:
A lot of people keep confusing two different pieces of software being offered by Ubuntu.

The first to be released is "Ubuntu for phones" which replaces the Android OS.

The second is "Ubuntu for Android" which allows both Ubuntu and Android to run, and has the docking capabilities for Ubuntu. It is not clear if this would even work for an existing phone because Ubuntu is working with the phone designers to specify new hardware.

I have no interest in "Ubuntu for phones", but if "Ubuntu for Android" would work with my existing Nexus 4, then this would be the bomb. I see that some people have two phones (must be nice) and will try out "Ubuntu for phones", and that I could see, but losing Android on a single phone does not make much sense to me, at least until Ubuntu builds up a big app database.

See here:

http://www.ubuntu.com/devices
[Nexus 4 General] kipue:
Yeah of course :)

Well anyway we'll be able to see for ourselves soon :)

thanks
[Nexus 4 General] :
Ubuntu is one of the ****tiest Linux distro currently available, mostly due to Unity being unintuitive and broken. Also, built in ads. No other OS has this.

If you use GNOME, LXDE, KDE, whatever then Ubuntu is alright, I guess, but then you might as well just use Debian or something.

I sure hope it doesn't turn out the same way for Ubuntu Phone.
[Nexus 4 General] FatalityBoyZahy:
I switched over to Linux Mint.
[Nexus 4 General] JuannTwo3:
All of the videos I've seen have been using the GNex. Since the N4 has a better processor and more ram it should (theoretically) run smoother, right? I guess we'll find out tomorrow :D
[Nexus 4 General] juicyjones:
There's a separate forum dedicated solely to Ubuntu.

- Nexus 4 / PA 3 / Franco r83 -
[Nexus 4 General] cYbOrG5:
Have they nreleased already? Its still feb20 at my side of the planet
[Nexus 4 General] Aerys:
It will be released here tomorrow.: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TouchInstallProcess

Tomorrow cannot come fast enough!
[Nexus 4 General] XupModz:
Agreed my friend
[Nexus 4 General] DroidDavi:
This will be cool to try
[Nexus 4 General] Sebring5:
Here are some things I would like to know: will it make and receive phone calls? can I use the browser and go to websites? can I use G mail?
[Nexus 4 General] DroidDavi:
It was working at CES. I'm sure they wouldn't put it out if it had no function. If you check the videos from ces it shows some apps. There mostly HTML 5 web links. It seems to work OK. I have been wanting to try something new without getting rid of my N4 . iOS and wp8 don't interest me at all .
[Nexus 4 General] tory13579:
It wouldn't be a smartphone operating system if it didn't lol

But seriously, yes it will make/receive calls, uses Firefox as a browser I would suspect with chromium being downloadable, has a gmail client as well as probably thunderbird.

Also has an app store (not sure if that is in the initial release though)
[Nexus 4 General] Vrekk:
The main thing I want from this is some sort of sip client. Doubtful for the first release but that won't stop me from flashing it anyway!

Btw we know it is released tomorrow... but in what time zone? It will be the 21st UTC in a few hours.
[Nexus 4 General] osi13:
Yeah, I doubt there will be a SIP client, but that's not stopping me from throwing this on my Galaxy Nexus.
[Nexus 4 General] bozzykid:
There will be no app store at least not this year afaik.
[Nexus 4 General] GeniusJack:
Ubuntu seems interesting yes, but I think that the first releases will be more bugged.

I will wait a stable release and a valutation of this and then I can think about install it on my N4 :3
[Nexus 4 General] XupModz:
There will be daily updates also
[Nexus 4 General] jutley:
So will this be a full official release or just a demo tester
[Nexus 4 General] jarjar124:

[Nexus 4 General] jutley:
Will nexus 4 get a full official release what I mean will they use the nexus 4 as a Ginnie pig and then stop support when they have their own handsets out.
[Nexus 4 General] XupModz:
It will get most likely get one as well as the updates to the image that will be released tomorrow

[Nexus 4 General] singlebyte:
At least they give a release date...unlike Apple, Microsoft, or Google.
[Nexus 4 General] tory13579:
Yes but that does not mean it will be up at 12:00am GMT. I figured a more reasonable time like 6 or 7 am GMT, unless they have it automated then yes less than an hour to go!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jarude87:
It seems that half of the videos I take with my N4 give me the "cannot be played" error message when I try to view them on the phone. Then, when I try to view them on a computer, the video cannot be rendered by VLC and has a length of 0:00 despite being the size that a video file would be.

This happens with both the default camera app and others I have used. I am on the stock ROM and have not modified it in any way.

Anyone else have this problem?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mecca319:
download a video player like the mx player from the play store and try
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jarude87:
The video can't even be rendered on a PC or the native player so I don't think the player is the issue. Moreover, my issue is that I want to be able to watch them on a PC and VLC will play just about anything that isn't totally broken.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gohabs93:
Since the jelly bean update, everytime I use a headset and press the play/pause/answer call button, it removes silent/vibration and the notification sound comes out of the phone speakers instead of headset. It's really annoying and it makes it hard listening to music at work.

I have this issue on official and AKOP roms. Anyone has this issue and knows how to fix it?

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] brettsaylor87:
I hope they actually go somewhere. Because stuff like this causes innovation. Makes Android, Windows and iOS try harder if they want to stay in the race. As long as apple does not sue everyone out of business first haha
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] brettsaylor87:
And if Ubuntu is smart they will not allow carries to add their custom flair to it. Even though it is open source. It would get rid of the hectic of waiting for updates. If carries really want to have custom skin. Make it like ADW launcher where you can add it if you want it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Justinchi:
Hmm...good point. From what the guy said in the the video, it seems that the updates would be pushed straight to the device just like Ubuntu Desktop. Otherwise, he pretty much lied and it's not just like the desktop version with "frequent updates."

Eagerly waiting to get this baby on my Galaxy Nexus :P
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] AndroHero:
Canonical cannot "make" carriers do anything. The kernel and the majority of the OS will be licenced under apache. And thus open source. Networks will be free to add whatever UI tweeks the like.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] brettsaylor87:
Well it be nice if they just let it be. But you're right, they will because they want their device to stand out from the others.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Tony84:
Do you guys think this can run on note 10.1 one day? ^^
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] AndroHero:
This can run on any device, it should be easy to port aswell, as all the existing android drivers can be used :D
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Tony84:
Imagined that,so pretty good news for the future ^^
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdadevelopersmac76:
Many games with tilt feature are not working properly on Kindle Fire HD, they go backwards and upside down. For example in Stick Stunt Biker, when you move the device in order to pull or push the bike the game does the opposite. Is there some way to fix this??
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prokennexusa:
Accelerometer Noise - Games

xdadevelopersmac76,

This is normally caused by what is called "Accelerometer Noise" and the games inability to

filter through the noise. First I would go to Google Play Store, search for Accelerometer,

download and install a good Accelerometer Testing Application to make sure your

Kindle Fire's Accelerometer is working properly. If the Accelerometer test is OK,

then you will need to go to each game vendor and ask them if they offer a upgrade.

Always use the latest revision of the software and never share the software since

this will void the software warranty and keep you from upgrades.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdadevelopersmac76:
Thanks!

Thanks for your help prokennexusa!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrkhigh:

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prokennexusa:
Accelerometer Noise - Games

xdadevelopersmac76,

Were you able to resolve this problem or did it turn out to be a problem with the Kindle?

I hope you were able to resolve the problem, if not, respond and we will try a few other

tests to determine if it is just "by design".
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seanriceaz:
I'm having this same problem. Games like osmos display and jelly defense display upside down (no matter how irritate the kindle). Probably the accelerometer is inverted too. Looked for noise in an accelerometer app, and it looks pretty clean.

Seems to be a problem with the kindle...

Maybe needs a setting screen option. Some apps display fine. But it looks like full screen games without a "kindle edition" are broken.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psych0phobia:
For app rotation issues, use the Lock button on the Quick Settings bar. That will hold the app to a single orientation. I played through Osmos successfully with the help of the Lock button. Unfortunately, I'm guessing this doesn't help at all for tilt control issues (never tried it - I don't care for those kind of games at all).
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seanriceaz:
Yep, that's a good workaround. Thankfully, I don't play games that require tilt on here.

Still, a fix would me most welcome.... someday maybe!

Good observation - you're very right for that!:)

Though I found that you can still access at least the PA CM10 4.1.2 sources from @Utacka:

repo init -u git://github.com/Utacka/android.git -b jellybean

You can also try to compile any of Evervolv's devices - they are extremely good for maintaining their sources.

Thanks guys, I'm testing it.

I'm on NativeSD, MAGLDR.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] shahul_555:
I am trying to install on NativeSD, MAGLDR but after installation and reboot all I could see is only black screen. I have tried many times with various options like wipe dalvik only, wipe dalvik/factory reset, etc but still its the same. Not sure what am I missing. :(
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Ruzzichella:
Hi, i'm trying to install gapps, but no luck. when i try to run google play store it crash atopening time.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] wwchang:
You may be right for that. I just tried setting Calendar to a different dpi and it seemed to stay the same.

It could also be that permissions on system\etc\paranoid\properties.conf need to be re-set.

Also you might check in the official PA forums for any mention of related issues.

I usually use PA only & esp for the 720px tablet mode because I guess I like the notification bar that it seems like the ole' CM7 style at the bottom of screen, and also that PA relies on a good CM10 base.

And so I find that I really don't use so many of the extra feature like per apps dip though, so I may not be able to help you anymore with that.

But I think you're right.

Gapps - try using the latest Gapps for JB 4.1.2, of link in the OP for gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip .

Early Gapps than that may not work.

I happened to be running NativeSD, but in any case I was able to do like this:

Merge Gapps ./app & ./framework into your system, after install:

- Copy gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip to your sdcard via usb or wifi (can use the included total commander file mngr with windows-lan or ftp plugins to save on your usb)

- unpack ./app & ./framework from the Gapps pack using root explorer or total commander

- use root explorer to copy & merge the entire Gapps ./app & ./framework

- set permissions...by opening a terminal window

-- do su, to change to root user

-- cd to ./system/app

-- type command 'chmod 644 *' to change permissions on all the files in ./app

-- cd ../framework

-- issue the same command in ./framework,

---- ie type command 'chmod 644 *' in ./framework directory

- soft reboot (to boot ./framework) or hard reboot (to boot kernel too)

Or you can merge / copy over these files into the aroma installation zip before flashing too.

I did not copy in any *.so files from the Gapps/lib pack to keep it minimal & simple.

Though if you need any of those then do the same process for those files too.

By this I was able to run Geniewidget news, activate my gmail account, sync Calendar & Contacts, install & run Google Maps, etc.

But be sure to use the newer Gapps pack - if you use older Gapps it may not boot, from my experience.

At what step is it like 'black screen'?

Can you get past kernel booting, like to the 'HTC' symbol on black background?

Sometimes it may pause there too as it is initalizing the usb from init.rc.

Unplug your phone from usb momentarily if that happens.

If it boots past that and eventually the whole system starts, is that when you have the black screen?

If so see the OP, as the trebuchet launcher may 'blank out' on first use.

Trebuchet is working fine - just that on very first use you need to use the hard keys on your hd2 to find your way to settings > app and clear the data for trebuchet - just a once.

The screen should appear like usual after that.
