Hey guys,

Ubuntu on mobile phones:

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

I personally think it's a win for Android. Since Android is always behind the mainline Linux kernel, now with Ubuntu being optimised for ARM devices, the kernel drivers will be in line with the main Linux kernel. That could possibly mean that phones like the Sensation could always be kept up to date as Android is a forked distribution of Linux.

This is all strictly hypothetical of course and it may not bear to fruition.

On a side note Ubuntu on mobile does seem pretty awesome, especially the gesture based controls.

So what are your thoughts guys?
[HTC Sensation] DJW6927:
The promised land indeed - the unfied and homogeneous environment from smartphone to cluster.

And it looks beautiful - fair play. Bare back Android still looks like a school project to me.

Will be interesting to see which of the OEMs get on board. But it could be just what HTC need to differentiate themselves again.

Edit: Clever so and so's, common drivers mean it shouldn't be long till we see some ports. I for one will have a phone with it on from day one. Definitely.
[HTC Sensation] topgeardave:
Apparently the source will release Q4 2013 so we could possibly build it for our sensations as the kernel is not much different to our android kernel. I honestly can not wait because there's no dalvik vm running so it could essentially work lag free.

The future is coming where everything is tied into one OS. However I doubt htc will release a phone with an unlocked bootloader. Manufacturers like Samsung and Sony will possibly capitalise on Ubuntu with their unlockable bootloaders

Edit: Eliminate lag on Android: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1987032

This confirms my thoughts about the dalvik vm. It's the Dalvik VM which is the main cause of lag on Android. Now with Ubuntu having no virtual machine, it should run with near to no lag!
[HTC Sensation] lavafire:
Ubuntu on Sensation sounds amazing, although I might not be using this phone around Q4 2013, shame really...

I personally preferred ubuntu for android (it was plug ur android phone into a dock then use it as Ubuntu computer). But I guess an Ubuntu phone is cool too, and always welcome any new platforms to the market, getting some fresh blood :)
[HTC Sensation] xrallyx:
I can't wait :)
[HTC Sensation] Pip513:
Just out of curiosity, are there any developers in the sensation world that think they'd be up to porting this when it become available? I would love to see this come to the Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] harsh.deep:
How exactly will it be diffrent from andoid in terms of performance?
[HTC Sensation] Pip513:
Tons. Expect the scrolling and general touch interface to be as smooth as an iPhone or windows phone. (To the haters, you simply cannot deny that that android has some lag to it, no matter the phone). I think this is the only OS out there that can compete with android and iPhone simply because of the desktop OS concept, which is brilliant and exactly what most people would love to have if the app market picks up for it. Only time will tell though.
[HTC Sensation] kubakrizka:
is anybody, who try it? :confused:
[HTC Sensation] topgeardave:
Exactly, Android will have some degree of lag due to the Dalvik VM. It's Ubuntu which has the possibility having little to no lag at all.

And to the poster above, Ubuntu still hasn't been released yet on any phones
[HTC Sensation] NeoSilky:
Apart from all the great and obvious advantages that this poses, I'm worried that phone networks will still try and bloat up the phone with all their branding and rubbish.
[HTC Sensation] topgeardave:
As long as you have terminal, anything is possible ;)
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
They can't put anything on a phone that I can't take off.
[HTC Sensation] Pip513:
Where's there's a will, there's a way. XDA has proven that time and again in the smartphone world
[HTC Sensation] wideasleep1:
I'm stoked for Ubuntu, but you guys saying lag for all Android devices haven't spent much time with a Nexus 4... ;)
[HTC Sensation] Apache0c:
I'm definitely going to switch to this if it becomes available for the sensation.
[HTC Sensation] Pip513:
One of my friends has it, and have played with it quite a bit. But I'm sorry, it still doesn't compare to an iPhone in terms of smoothness. The only thing that compares is a windows phone.
[HTC Sensation] realceday:
Very nice i hope bring to sensation
[HTC Sensation] wideasleep1:
Not buy'in it. I've played with 3GS, 4 and 4S, and the N4 is snappier than all 'ovem. Project Butter was a total success, and Android finally tore that smoothness monkey off its back. IOS is slow now, by comparison.
[HTC Sensation] ted619:
IPhones and Ios are for 8 year olds and under and for people over most people over 40 and android even if they say is slow guess what is not jelly bean is awesomely fast and android if for people who think outside the box the same way I hope ubuntu will be as it progresses with time just like android did from that old android platform we all remember on the g1 I think it was 1.0 or 1.5 but it didn't even have a landscape keyboard :D... ios started good I still remember my iPhone 2g but over time ios got boring they played it safe and had had no remodel of their os and that is what I think is driving most people to android and windows needs to upgrade its app store wen I had an HTC hd7 the apps where scarce just like BlackBerrys... Let's welcome UBUNTU and hope they develop better than ios and as much as android has

"HTC Sensation - viper Rom 1.6"

"HTC Amaze - speed Rom 8"

"HTC Sensation - MIUI"

"LG Thrill - Slim Stock Rom"
[HTC Sensation] jemandanders:
The sad thing is: although it looks nice now, canonical will screw it up in the long run. (Like usable Ubuntu -> unity...)
[HTC Sensation] badboy47:
i am really looking forward to this :)
[HTC Sensation] Pip513:
I had a 4S and a 5 along with a Nexus 4 side by side just two weeks. I don't like iOS, but there's simply no denying they're smoother. And if you disagree with that, your view is simply biased and there's no point in debating this further. Yes, the nexus is smooth, but it stumbles in the transitions at times, and when web browsing. And also every once in a while when performing simple tasks. There's a reason Apple is as big as they are.

On a different note, I think Ubuntu has a real chance for dominating the mobile world, if its marketed correctly and isn't launched too early. It needs to just simply work from the get go with no major bugs, otherwise it's doomed.

Edit: here's a video. There's just simply no denying it. I love android, but its still behind.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E406xXr4Mok&feature=youtube_gdata_player
[HTC Sensation] blackdarkeye:
seems cool, I will look into it
[HTC Sensation] ted619:
Even if you r correct by saying that ios is smoother its still dull and boring... they should focus more in creating a different ios not just sticking with the same boring style in every device they have... and by them being the most powerful and valuable company just means that they will fall slower just read some tech news and u will read that they had to cut production by 50% just a matter of time for them to go down just like old "myspace" did

Sent from my HTC Sensation
[HTC Sensation] Pip513:
OK. That has nothing to do with my point. There are people who don't have time to **** around with phones, and they need it for business or what ever its purpose is. The iPhone simply works, every time flawlessly. That's why it sells.

Anymore clearly android biased points you'd like to make? Do you think engineers at Ford or GM sit around and convince themselves that their product is better? No, they realize when their product sucks against the competition, and then reinvent it. Google realizes this, that's why project butter even happened. If it wasn't for iPhone, android would be absolute ****. And if you don't understand that concept, you don't know how the world works. Apple, realizes the iPhone 5 sucks and its not selling, so they're going to do something with the next one to lure customers to buy it. And Google will do the same thing, so on and so forth.
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Your entire position leaves out 2 very important factors on why the iPhone sells.

First, it has insanely good marketing. That, above absolutely everything else, is why it sells well. That is the single most important factor in sales, far above how good an product is.

Second, there is only 1 phone that runs iOS. So its distribution isn't divided up among the 30 or so new Android phones that hit the market every 6 months. When you combine this information with the fact that Android as a platform outsells iOS as a platform, you start to see that the iPhone isn't the most popular. People who Ned a working device and don't root are buying more android devices than ipones. It only looks like the iPhone is the most popular at a glance because it outsells any other single device. But the operating system is simply not the most popular or best selling.

Also, it's just factually incorrect that the iPhone works flawlessly every time. That's utter nonsense. Since inception every version of the iPhone has had major issues. And there is a big warranty unit to fix broken phones.
[HTC Sensation] Pip513:
First point, agree with mostly.

Second point, I never said it sells better than android. But it terms of glitches, bugs, incompatibility, force closes and other weird problems, the iPhone doesn't encounter anything of the sort 99.9% of the time (in terms of the OS itself). And when they appear, they are quickly fixed. Overall, it is smoother smartphone experience.

I'm not an iOS fan, I've got my android tablet and phone. But all in all, whenever I use my friends iPhones or iPads, it is much smoother than my phone and tablet. And they are both butter smooth compared to other Android devices, but when you put them up to the iPad and iPhone, there is just no denying it is smoother in general. There is no doubt in my mind Android will get there eventually, but until that day comes, they've got bragging rights.

Hopefully Ubuntu will gain a lot of interest, because honestly I would dump android for it in a heartbeat for this all in one concept. I'd be much happier dumping $400-700 into a phone knowing I'm getting two in one.
[HTC Sensation] Shindyt:
Hopefully I can run all kinds of windows .EXE on this.
[HTC Sensation] Pip513:
Supposedly the source is going to be released in February. We might see it on our phones sooner than we thought.
[HTC Sensation] Hdale85:
I'd love to put Ubuntu on my Sensation! Here's to hoping source is released soon, if I have to wait until Q4 I'll likely change phones before then.
[HTC Sensation] sy224048:
Source is released in tomorrow I think, or maybe that's just the nexus test images. I think we get source before the end of February.
[HTC Sensation] lavafire:
Love it how iphone vs android debates manged to find its way into the sensation thread, I'd thought you only get this in top spec phone thread :P

Just want to say thou: glitches, bugs, incompatibility, force closes and other weird problems are rare on stock ROMs. You can't complain if your using a 3rd party ROM. Tbh even if they are there in stock ROM, it is not android's fault, blame the manufacturer (HTC i'm looking at you).
[HTC Sensation] arkatis:
So Ubuntu on sensation and Sense 5...Great stuff! :p
[HTC Sensation] blacklabel9567:

So every opportunity is there for start porting the our beloved sensations :D
[HTC Sensation] blacklabel9567:
Nice thanks for the heads up.
[HTC Sensation] katiepea:
this is true, but so was the previous comment you responded to. android is forced to have crazy hardware thrown at it just to have a smooth OS. look at the new blackberry OS. it's incredibly smooth with minimal hardware, and it even runs the dalvik engine alongside QNX so it can run android apps. this is a side effect of porting an OS over vastly different hardware. apple and blackberry don't have to worry about that and have total control over how well their OS talks to the hardware.
[HTC Sensation] Joolz03:
Ubuntu porting guide released! Hoping for a great port from the xda developers!
[HTC Sensation] topgeardave:
Once it hits beta, I'll build a rom. At the moment it's not functional at all

[HTC Sensation] topgeardave:
They're just wasting their time. Half of the apps are placeholders and it's still buggy. I'm gonna wait for the OS to mature before I build it. And by that time Albinomans CM10.1 should be more stable so I can use it as a base if he allows.
[HTC Sensation] Wagedroid:
Ftw. I'm interested.
[HTC Sensation] topgeardave:
Here because Ubuntu does not come under Android development

Edit: Looks like Nikez from Team Evervolv is going to build it on the sensation.

[HTC Sensation] theeedy:
So, is anyone else trying to port ubuntu touch to our sensation?

I tried to but it's much more work since we don't have an official CM 10.1 Rom.
[HTC Sensation] topgeardave:
LaidbackNikez the dev from Team evervolv has akready built the images. You just need to wait got him to release it.

And I doubt it will be a daily driver. It's still alpha and ubuntu are still working on improving the source code itself.
[HTC Sensation] jokis777:
i've seen that most of the apps on ubuntu ar web-based. is it true? or maybe we could install Gplay on to it somehow and go from there? I really dont know, but I woudnt really want to use web-based apps
[HTC Sensation] topgeardave:
No android apps will work on it due to no realtime Dalvik VM.

Kind Regards

Dave
[HTC Sensation] theeedy:
I know ;)

Android apps might/will work later with custom "Roms" because we can always re-add the dalvik-vm.
[HTC Sensation] topgeardave:
Doubt it to be honest mate. Somebody will make a bluestacks similar app for ubuntu. Remember ubuntu OS is completely different to how android runs. Adding the dalvik.vm is pointless and a complete waste of man hours imo. Let the native qml based apps come out.

Kind Regards

Dave

hello XDAexpertes

I have one of this Chinese phones that looks like want to go holidays forever, specifically a Star A3 (Mtk6575)

things is, for few days, soft keys start intermittently stop working, it did got funny because as I take out the back cover they work again, also, the screen protector was little dirty, so I took it off ...

but things have become worst, and up to the point to do not respond at all, but only soft keys, touch screen works perfectly. More over, and this is happening more and more, ghost strokes of the soft keys have start to appear

so I guess, touch screen has got wet(?), fail(?), nuts(?). Anything I could be doing to repair it ?

But my main question is:

- is any way to disable the soft keys (to prevent the ghost strokes) and enable some app to emulate the menu and options soft key (maybe shaking the mobile)

I just need it to make it works for sometime, so I am not without mobile up to purchase a new one.

It is funny, as the soft keys seems to be part of the screen it self, and not separate buttons or anything else. and the touch screen works, while the soft keys do not ...

I have seen an accessory on a Youtube Video which I can no longer find.

However I will do my best to describe it.

Its basically something that is quite small and attached onto the back of the phone, in the middle or somewhere around there.

Most importantLy it allows one handed operation, or rather more comfortable one handed operation because your finger Kind of fit's through it therefore Making a more comfortable grip.

It also double's up as a stand.
