In reply to link, I love the idea of a superphone that is android then once docked it is ubuntu. Why can't all phones be like this? :rolleyes: Maybe even bring back the lapdock deal for this but make it universal to all Ubuntu capable phones and not make it device specific like the atrix....just an idea.

For those talking about a lapdock for our phone, google "clambook". No real recent news about it but it would fit all my needs easily.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tyler.durden:
Not really any reason to not switch now, I would say. I've been running Kubuntu(Ubuntu with KDE) for over three years now and I haven't missed Windows for much of anything... It's much faster and even looks more high-tech, in my opinion.

Looking forward to trying out Ubuntu for phones... I'm guessing there will be some sort of release for current Android phones, and I'll definitely be checking it out when that day comes.

This looks awesome. Runs incredible on the galaxy nexus too. Imagine it on our device :cool:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tyler.durden:
Yup, that's legit. Looks like my next phone might be running Ubuntu... Plus, they have just a bit more experience with the Linux kernel than Google does, so that could possibly equate to a better mobile OS than Android.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Wow! Nice video. I can't wait for this. Looks really fun.

At the bottom of this article, after the update tag it says no CDMA

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jkrlvgn:
Says no CDMA support yet, keyword is yet.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] luigi311:
Yet so maybe we will get it on an upcoming update "for sure" by October so they can get their phones available on Sprint and/or Verizon atleast that is what I believe I could be wrong. On another note I can't wait for tomorrow since they will release a port guide and maybe we will see some awesome devs working on it and maybe just maybe they will bring it cdma support before they can
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
I believe no CDMA support due to proprietary 'blobs'. Same reason Google can't/wont get/release/share some of the code for nexus devices going forward and removed links to CDMA files from their AOSP site. At least , that's my assumption.

Also,...wow, the Ubuntu threads have been blowing up today. I've been following them all morning. They've got the developer preview booting on VZW CDMA (toro), but no radio connectivity.

From my Evo LTE, yup.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mstrblueskys:
Just about everyone has said that they will get Ubuntu on CDMA - it's just a matter of time devs want to spend doing it. If I knew how to compile the code and had the free time, I would be working on it. I can't wait to see what they do.

Maybe this snow storm will be isolating enough that I might get the time... ;) Let's hope so!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scataldo721:
Not sure if this answers the whole CDMA thing but I believe that the sprint Galaxy nexus has it up and running

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] luigi311:
There will be cdma on ubuntu just like the nexus has it they just retain the cdma from the public. So who's porting over ubuntu and wants to share their build since my pc is down :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] joshuatcarter:
I'd love to try it out too but in don't have the time or know how to do it.

Probably gonna take a while to get it on our devices. HTC seems to be doing like Apple and sending out updates whenever somebody finds a new way to root/s-off there phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Deathsnuggle:
So it is too many or to little updates? Htc takes too long to update, xda complains, now it's too many updates? So you're complaining about updates and bug fixes. I just don't get you people
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jkrlvgn:
Not enough updates = I need to have updated drivers and android OS. Other phones have had it for months, why not mine?

Too many updates = I just did an update, and now can't get root on my phone/can't use the touchpanel/etc.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Nailed it.

From my Evo LTE, yup.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] patrick_the_fat:
i would definitely use this over the android os lol.. why not? you just have to get your comfort zone configured and then you have no limitations! look at what phones we're using.. it's like putting the engine of a geo metro into a v8 chevy and wondering why you aren't flying around corners fast.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nabour:
I have been moving music into the music player and creating playlists. I notice that there is a fairly large spinning circle at the top center of the music center that never shuts down. Even when I re-boot, as soon as I open the music player the spinning circle is whirling.

I have no idea what it is -- perhaps the circle is meant to be on at all times. Or, is it an alert? Anyone have any idea?

I noticed that using hosts file to block ads hasn't been working on my phone when on mobile data (but it works fine on WiFi).

I have had the same problem on rooted stock, stock + harsh kernel, and paranoid with harsh kernel. I have used adaway and adfree for creating hosts files and same problem on both!

Anyone have this problem or anyone know of a solution? Thanks :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asawoszc:
I've actually noticed this also recently on newer CM10.1 builds as well. Neither AdFree or AdAway are blocking the adds anymore. Doesn't bother me to much since I only have a few apps that display ads but it's curious to have only recently started. If I figure it out I'll report back.

[Atrix 4G General] thandlovsky:
So I've Been a Big fan of Ubuntu for a while and I was thrilled to see that they will be releasing a phone OS sometime hopefully soon. Since I have the laptop dock I have always wanted to try to put full ubuntu on it. However that never fully worked on and had to be done on a blur based rom. I love the new JB rom I have on my phone as It performs well. But at the end of the video 21:00 Mark Shuttleworth, the Founder of Ubuntu stated that Ubuntu Phone runs on ARM based chips and Android Kenerals and Drivers.

I'm just wondering Who else would love to see this run and be compatible on the atrix AND the dock. If we still have a decent amount of developers I'm sure this is more than possible.

Heres the Link for the video:

http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/phone

Just putting the idea out there, but if there are any developers capable of this I'd be more than happy to support.
[Atrix 4G General] tribesman:
phone spesification is enough for run and if canonical is behind this i think its possible
[Atrix 4G General] CSharpHeaven:
I was about to post this as a new thread but when I saw this thread I decided to post it in here.

Happy New Year!

According to the video below Ubuntu for Phones will be compatible with any Android designed-hardware. If I understood it correctly, Atrix last chance is with Ubuntu for Phones for sure.

http://www.androidcentral.com/canonical-announces-its-ubuntu-smartphone-os

I have already said that once before that one reason the OEMs lock the bootloader of their phones is to prevent other platforms to be installed to shorten the life of the devices.

Millions of capable Android devices have already been abandoned due to lack of software support which I blame Google directly to allow the implementation of Wild Wild West on Android platform. The only loser in Android world is and will always be the consumers. Ubuntu for Phones will be the left jab that Google didn't see coming. I personally looking forward to see what Ubuntu for Phones can bring this year.

Update: it seems Ubuntu for Phones will not be available until 2014
[Atrix 4G General] thandlovsky:
Seems BBC covered the story

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-20891868

and in the article says that it will be released for the samsung galaxy nexus. porting from that to the Atrix may be hard, but it should be like CyanogenMod a little. So thats a little boost to say the least.

I also emailed canonical and showed interest in helping with the project especially with the lapdock capabilities, so ill let you guys know what I get back from them, and If its any useful Ill be sure to forward it to every developer possible.
[Atrix 4G General] leclercqsteeven:
Yes and simply

Yes it's possible for our Atrix, jus read that :

"Easier hardware enablement

We have teams based in Taipei, Shanghai, London, Beijing and Boston to engage with your engineering and factory operations – and their sole focus is to deliver a crisp Ubuntu experience on your device.

Ubuntu has already been adapted to run on chipsets using the ARM and Intel x86 architectures relevant for mobile devices, with the core system based around a typical Android Board Support Package (BSP). So chipset vendors and hardware manufacturers do not need to invest in or maintain new hardware support packages for Ubuntu on smartphones. In short, if you already make handsets that run Android, the work needed to adopt Ubuntu will be trivial."

So alright we don't MAKE handsets that runs android but we have one, we also have the kernel drivers no ? so with that it's like port a cyanogenmod ROM I think. My quote come from canonical web-site (sorry new member so I can"t post outside links ><) so it's a truth information ;)
[Atrix 4G General] Slymayer:
Yep, we have Ubuntu drivers but we're not sure we will be able to use them. But indeed the project of having Ubuntu running as main OS on the Atrix is realistic as we have all the material (HW and SW) required for this, if our devs know how to use them, but I think a whole team would be required for a project this big. It's not just a port of Cyanogen, it's not about taking a kernel and some drivers and snap them with a more recent UI and newer apps. We only got a kernel and an X server, it's far enough but the thing is that this X server was published to run on dev platforms. But also know it can be used on an Atrix, but how to integrate it with a whole new platform ? It will require time mostly. I think. And devs. But we don't have many devs so we only have hope. But maybe the devs on XDA will look more at the Atrix and Webtop.
[Atrix 4G General] Mankey Magic:
Actually it's supposed to be available late 2013 - according to lifehacker....

http://lifehacker.com/5972559/the-ubuntu-mobile-os-introduced-today-coming-to-phones-in-2014
[Atrix 4G General] thandlovsky:
The Ubuntu Phones that ship with the OS will most likely be available in 2013 in the UK, and will clear american shores in Hopefully late 2013, but most likely will arrive around early 2014.

The OS itself will most likely clear for deployment sometime soon for the samsung galaxy nexus, as for a universal build I'm not sure If/when that will be available, so most likely we will have to see if one can be constructed for the atrix.

As far as the lack of developers, I fell that any and all developers that are still in possession of an operational atrix will want to test this, especially on a phone that isnt their daily driver and has capabilities of bringing back a strong webtop front.
[Atrix 4G General] bullghost:
absolutely possible

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzc0uMXGFBY

i like the ubuntu webtop, its run smooth and fast :good:
[Atrix 4G General] affiatic:
I think the atrix should be able to run it. just not mine unless the new bootloader gets figured out
[Atrix 4G General] das_system:
Well I really think that Ubuntu can run on the Atrix, because they share the same idea, which is killed by Google: The webtop.

We just plug the phone into a dock, connect it to a monitor and that's it. Besides, the original webtop is just a big browser without many supported applications.

Several webtop-mods have shown that it is possible to run a full Debian or Ubuntu Linux on the phone.

And having one OS for mutliple devices is the stratagy that Microsoft now tries with Windows 8 on Tablets. But other than Windows, Ubuntu really got the chance to do it right.
[Atrix 4G General] Pesky person:
Possible to run, but...

Well, I'm sure, it won't be a real problem to run the Ubuntu phone OS on Atrix 4g, IMHO, I'm really suprised, they used Atrix 2 and his adventages in testing. It's but I'm sure, HW would not work on 100%. Everyone knows, what is a problem with HWA drivers fot ICS+ even on android. Fingerprint drivers will be problem too... the best roms are (at least in my opinion) GB ones. This is the "tax" we pay for extraordinary HW in Atrix 4G.

Another problem in optimalization is the date of release (futher in future...who knows, how many devs will stay..)
[Atrix 4G General] TingTingin:
This OS already has its own section on xda and it hasn't even been released yet lol anyways u can share your thoughts on Ubuntu for phone here

Like I said If I got an email back I would let you guys know and sure enough it came and here it is

Thank you very much for your interest towards Ubuntu on smartphones. We have received an incredible response and have been overwhelmed with the general positive feedback! Responses both from the general public and the industry have been far greater that we expected.

In order to make Ubuntu a truly fantastic smartphone experience we will be initially working with manufacturers who will build Ubuntu into their hardware. We anticipate market availability of Ubuntu on smartphones towards the end of 2013.

To reach this goal, and offer a great experience for future consumers, our first priority will be to respond to industry inquiries from manufacturers/OEMs, silicon partners, developers and mobile operators. If you are a potential industry partner, we’d like to learn more about you. Please register your interest through our web form: http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/phone/contact-us

If you are a mobile apps developer, and want to learn how you can help bring Ubuntu to the phone, you can also find more information on:

http://developer.ubuntu.com/gomobile

We are all excited about Ubuntu for phones, but it will take some time to get into the marketplace. If you leave us your email and country details, we will let you know when there is further news:

https://forms.canonical.com/manhattan/

Once again, thank you for your interest in Ubuntu!

Yours sincerely,

Greetings to all on this New Year!!!(Almost late!)

Hello people.

Searching the past week about this topic, I found the "How to upload" Ubuntu for phones on Tegra Devices like our Atrix.

Here you could find some info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/TEGRA/AC100

This will help un too: http://ac100.grandou.net/nvflash#debian_ubuntu_package

https://developer.nvidia.com/linux-tegra

And here, the Ubuntu for phones. http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/quantal/release/

They recommend the Lubuntu 12:10 because it supposedly run from the box. I did not try this yet until I have all the tools(software & knowledge) ready...

It could be nice to have to opportunity to flash it like any ROM, but, sometimes I like the "hard" way in order to learn and develop myself.

Well guys, BON APPETITE !!!!!
[Atrix 4G General] lehjr:
While it's possible from a technical standpoint, I just don't see the developer interest which is a shame really, since the device's only weakness is the lack of updates.
[Atrix 4G General] Hai_Duong:
This option to install ubuntu is impossible. U would risk to delete/brick partitions or nands. We need a IMG file with the filestructure and flash it with the fastboot/CWM. I can mount ubuntu 11.04 but the problem is no UI loading. Only usable is the terminal.
[Atrix 4G General] samcripp:
No is not impossible. You partition an SD card load it up with kernel and system and use a dual boot solution to boot into the kernel on SD card. Of course some minor changes needed on the kernel. But not impossible.

also porting cyanogenmod is not as simple as grabbing a few drivers and adding a few kernel bits. It is a monumental task of trial and error with hundreds of lines of code to patch and sometimes full libraries have to be re written. Shoot the radio layer on the atrix was a quick hack job on cm for atrix.

Porting Ubuntu is tho should be quite easy. And maybe could even one day live in that juicy 750mb web top partition.
[Atrix 4G General] lehjr:
You'd probably have to have /home on the internal sdcard to use /osh for installing Ubuntu.

Funny that this is the third thread in the last few days talking about using stand-alone Ubuntu on the device.
[Atrix 4G General] Hai_Duong:
I mean like webtop in atrix just docking u phone and start Ubuntu version 12.04 and not 9.04 jaunty . And a small question: why does nobody can make it work? there are big changes to make it work I think. Dual boot is without a proof not working for me :)
[Atrix 4G General] samcripp:
Is possible, but with no current source code for the Canonical version of either Ubuntu for Android, or Ubuntu for Phones, porting this projects to the atrix can't be accomplished just yet. There is research out there by someone who compiled their own Full Ubuntu distribution and tried booting it a la webtop,but like always x11 is broken because of the driver issues, and of course none of his sound, usb, or hdmi stuff work because he did not re write the correct libraries for his new software.

The webtop is an amazing hack and slash job of its own.

First the kernel, using both android bits and the ubuntu specific patches.

Second (and most important of all), the android/ubuntu shared libraries and drivers. The drivers we can maybe find, the libraries are a monumental task to recreate, pretty much full android libraries alter to also link up with ubuntu, thus making things work together, a la webtop.

Third the webtop software itself, or if you are familiar with linux, your root folder " / " located in the osh partition!
[Atrix 4G General] Hai_Duong:
yes because of these problems we need a team is needed like canonical to make it possible. for one person this is nearly impossible like I said. I can mount Ubuntu 10.04 but it's not showing UI and vnc is not a solution.
[Atrix 4G General] lehjr:
The main difference I can see is that with Ubuntu, you would have better access to updated versions of individual packages. The downside is whatever documentation you encounter will be poorly maintained. All that said, you still need a customized kernel with drivers. The 3.8 kernel will feature some built in Tegra 2D drivers, but I haven't seen anything about 3D yet.

I think it's important to keep in mind that the only involvement that Canonical would have in porting Ubuntu Phone OS to any device would be to provide the source code, pretty much what you already get with Android, although it's likely they would offer some type of paid support.

Edit:

In contrast to what I had read elsewhere, based on what I was reading here, it sounds like Canonical would provide the OS already ported to the OEM's, although I'm sure there will be a price tag attached. It doesn't look like the OS will be much different than the desktop version, other than having the software compiled for ARM instead of x86. I'm not sure how successful it will be without an app store though.
[Atrix 4G General] AnotherBill:
Ubuntu has a an app store.
[Atrix 4G General] lehjr:
Their words, not mine. I assume that the app store they have would be different than the one for the desktop version. But in the article they said:

As many times as I've tried using their app store for the desktop, I just never found it useful and always ended up using Synaptic instead.
[Atrix 4G General] AnotherBill:
Yeah, i don't care for it either. In fact i actually prefer Debian and use synaptic but using Steam seems to have less issues in Ubuntu for now.
[Atrix 4G General] jluiscc25:
I want to install it on my atrix jojojo
[Atrix 4G General] lehjr:
Just a thought, if the UI is the only substantial difference, what about trying some type of dual boot with Linux on Android as a base, and maybe using KDE Mobile (if that's even still available) as the UI, at least until the UI source for Ubuntu Phone OS appears.
[Atrix 4G General] lehjr:
Ubuntu may roll their own display server instead of using X or Wayland to have the same display server . It's something they're currently exploring:

http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/02/canonical-working-on-new-display-server

Personally, I see them forking something that already works rather than starting from scratch considering the overhead involved. The big issue is drivers and toolkits (KDE,Gtk, etc) to support that display server across all target platforms.
[Atrix 4G General] niikko:
Will be able to install same apk that android?
[Atrix 4G General] lehjr:
No one knows for sure, but it's unlikely.
