But your forgetting that manufacturers are starting to offer computers with Ubuntu they've announced it in recent videos which means they are trying to broaden their demographic, which in turn means they're trying to get their foot in the door in the mainstream sense of course I've known about Ubuntu since day one. While the concept might strike you as free remember everyone has to eat. Money is always a goal and they can really excel to the next level if they just merge with Google. I know for a fact they will make Google a better company all together. Both companies care about progression in technology instead of just profits (cough ... Apple) lol Google likes to offer the latest tech advances and not the same product year after year (cough ... Apple) anyway I'm hoping something happens soon because i love options but i know I'll always be an android fanboy ;)

I think the swipes etc will be NoGo for lots of people as it seems to complicated to them.

I know this won't be a problem for anybody reading this here on xda but the jump of complicateness (does this word exist?:confused: my English isn't best) would be much larger than from ios to android.

Lots of people are using ios because it's simple and won't use android because it isn't as simple.

And Ubuntu? Seems not to be for everybody if you ask me. It's really like it is said in official video like from the future.

I definitely want to try it but I do not now: either it will be a complete fail or it will bring a new generation of smartphoning. I am hoping for the 2nd.

Consider writing text messages (SMS) with those old and cumbersome Nokia phones. I would never EVER believe that the general population would get used to writing text messages with such a limiting keypad. However, many did actually learnt to text on those old phones, and they still do. I have seen car drivers texting and driving on the highway.

If we can get the phone to do cute stuff, then people will learn to use it and love it.
[Ubuntu Touch General] TingTingin:
Manufacters have been releasing computers with Ubuntu since forever but they never do well soon they just fade away it doesn't matter really the number is nothing compared to what that same manufacter will release with windows so they haven't "got their foot in the door" or are "going mainstream" most Ubuntu users buy somewhere else and then install Ubuntu so a couple more manufacturers doesn't mean canonical is money oriented hell they still offer the operating system to the manufacters for free anyways so yeah also y whhhhy do they have to place money as there main objective I see where coming from but this isn't some random company saying their open source this canonical the people behind the most popular Linux distribution they aren't just all talk they've already proved they can do it's just a different platform now

Also this whole Google thing really think this through how will that work out Google already has chrome OS android now they'll have Ubuntu :eek:

The whole idea is that u have 1 OS that turns into a PC or smartphone or TV when u want Google already has the most popular OS in the world (chrome OS lol jk android) so switching would be crazy being a company that has two mobile oses would be confusing or they could separate them ie u have it where u have u Android then link to your PC and Ubuntu comes up but wait hold the phone the whole idea is u have the same operating system across the multiple platforms :shock: see

Problems thats what will happen if they sell not to mention what will happen to Ubuntu on your PC because keep in mind the mobile version is the exact same PC just skinned meaning Google will now own the most popular Linux distribution what will happen then??????

We can't even begin to fathom the intricacies of what your suggesting

Ubuntu as they are

Epic Win

Google Ubuntu

Epic Fail

[Ubuntu Touch General] Psionfenix:
The mobile version isn't the exact same as the desktop version with a skin.

You still end up with architecture limitation right now, and native apps for UBUNTUphoneOS are being programmed in QML, or webbased using html5. Currently you can do a bit more with ubuntu, while not being limited by a specific programming language.

Also, any apps you'd want to run on your phone will have to have touchscreen support, as well as the resolution support,
[Ubuntu Touch General] TingTingin:
It is the exact same OS it just uses arm which canonical added support for a while now so it being on a phone with a arm based CPU will obviously mean a different programming language and now a previously secondary feature becomes a main feature but thats not to say their different as the PC version has arm support it just doesn't use it save say for a couple arm based PC's being released running ubuntu any app that has support arm will work just as on a PC (in terms of stability) but you'll have obvious problems navigating as the app was intended for PC but it'll work

So they are the same just 1 uses arm and the other x86 and 64 bit

But they both were already there no editing required :)

[Ubuntu Touch General] blackout23:
Jup same OS. You can also write stuff in Python if you provide the required libraries and there are bindings in Qt for pretty much every programming language. Also you can run Libre Office on the Desktop and that still is a GTK Application. Because it IS the same OS you have all the flexiblity of Linux.

[Ubuntu Touch General] blackout23:
It doesn't need an SD Card it is just recommended. My whole Linux installation on my Desktop is just 8 GB which also contains Microsoft Office which takes up 1-2 GB alone. I could easily live with the 13-16 GB that the Nexus offers without the need for more storage through SD cards.

Ubuntu may not come with buttons, and be completely gestures currently...but, it's open source. Don't like it, make a button bar app persistant to the bottom of screen, possibly just skinning unity/gnome panels. That's the beauty of Linux/Ubuntu - make it your own. :good:

The specs for OEM phone manufacturers is relatively high, SDCard etc. But the phone is developed on GNEX, so everything will run on it. I believe they have the specs for OEM's so high so that if new users on a new pre-installed Ubuntu phone go crazy installing large Ubuntu apps they won't run out of space anytime soon.

Re: Ubuntu phone OS Epic Win? Or Epic Fail? Your Thoughts (keep it clean) vid links h

Honestly, I'll dual-boot it. I'll use it every so often. But I don't think I or many others will move away from Android for an Ubuntu phone OS. I love Ubuntu, it was my first Linux distribution, and my first true love <3.

Android and Ubuntu are two entirely different instruments that harmonize perfectly. Personally, I'd rather see Ubuntu on Android be open-sourced and implemented into AOSP+ and other custom Android ROMs. Also, Ubuntu on tablets would be terrific. I used to own a tablet PC that I ran 10.04 to 11.10 on w/ Gnome shell and I loved it.

Regardless, I can't wait to play with Ubuntu's new phone OS. Maybe one day I can run a mobile version of Bluefish and Rhythmbox on it :).

It probarly wont come for single core devices will it?

My phone is only 1,4 ghz single core

[Ubuntu Touch General] pditchev:
I think the Galaxy Nexus that they're developing it on is 1Ghz single core , so your phone should work as long as it gets a port of the OS.
[Ubuntu Touch General] blackout23:
Nexus is 1.5 Ghz Dual-Core clocked down to 1.2 Ghz.
[Ubuntu Touch General] pditchev:
Yeah , just checked it and came to correct myself . That is significantly more than 1Ghz mono-core :D

[Ubuntu Touch General] htc_tb_cricket:
I use Ubuntu on all my desktop and laptops, v 13.04 right now.

I noticed Ubuntu for andriod phones was mentioned over there. I liked the idea of wifi dlna to an HD TV, 720p or 1020p, for a monitor. I went to Target and bought a dlna wifi media hub for my $100 720p TV. Then all we would need is a bluetooth keyboard that has a touchpad like a laptop.

Then the online sync for custom scripts and browser bookmarks and documents, vid, music, contacts, sms/mms messages, great idea.

I can run Ubuntu from an 8GB microSD chip on a usb adapter. 32GB chips are only $20-$25 now. 1.2Ghz dual core would probably run 64-bit linux.

If apps are only scripts, there could be a developer view of the actual text of apps. We could look under the hood at code view mode, look at howto vids, snapshots, instead of just an icon and a few reviews for apps. That would cause more feedback and developer input into apps. Apps are crappy as it is, and open source would help.

---------- Post added at 03:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:48 AM ----------

No need. If the code runs, the package handling is done by shell or perl or python scripting, or just xml xhtml html5 script.

I would really love ubuntu on my phone, but the problem is that is I use my phone for some gaming outside and because it is going to be new less apps(especially games) are going to available, that's what I heard, do I think it is an epic win but I won't use it until it has more apps

android had almost no games when it first launched, same goes for iOS, BB, winmo, winphone, etc.

UbuntuPhoneOS will get games and apps and everything (they already have the SDK available, in an alpha or beta stage, at least). No need to worry too much, though it'll take time to port

Re: Ubuntu phone OS Epic Win? Or Epic Fail? Your Thoughts (keep it clean) vid links h

At what point do developers get fed up of making apps for OSes that may or may not succeed, before they've even been released? More importantly, when do companies stop funding such development?

Does BB even have games now?

As I said, that's what I heard. If it was stable enough and has the main apps and some time killers I will ofc use it as I love the interface (when it is ported to my phone) I am actually thinking of trying to port it myself, it will be my first port, but I will try :D

Re: Ubuntu phone OS Epic Win? Or Epic Fail? Your Thoughts (keep it clean) vid links h

My predictions are that the canonical os will take flight and it will be a game changer. Also Ubuntu os for pc has plenty of development software programs that will give devs a walk in the park to help improve canonical os. I would love to see an integration of canonical and android which I know it will be possible the possibilities are endless. New rise to open source, and dual boot to your favorite os whether Ubuntu or android which now dual boot it's in motion. I would love to run Ubuntu on my galaxy S2 and my future devices as well but for now we will have to wait for this amazing os to come our way.
[Ubuntu Touch General] Crwolv:
Re: Ubuntu phone OS Epic Win? Or Epic Fail? Your Thoughts (keep it clean) vid links h

Make it almost completely compatible with Android like a dual boot. Paid launchers and apps should be able to work on both. It looks great it looks like a funky Android launcher something I would love to use as long as the colors could change lol. Like they want to keep it completely open source in For developers in themars to be able to make a profit and help others with free versions then this will be a success.... number 2 after Android beating out windows and lowly fading iOS.:banghead::) if iOS iPhone does not expand and adapt it will fade away just like rim. The only way it will survive is to copy Android and sue Android and act like it made it the first place(like touchscreen) lmao. like it has again and again

I read that Ubuntu will be compatible with Android kernels, so that alone puts it ahead of other non-Android based OS's (think handset compatibility and stability). I also think QT is the way for mobile, maybe lighter than running Dalvik all the time.

Honestly I believe it is at a Neutral state right now, I mean, it sounds wonderful but Android has already gotten a stable development community, once Ubuntu Mobile is released, I wouldn't be surprised if someone releases a Launcher that does the exact same things as Ubuntu Mobile, it's just a matter of time, of course the no Java virtual machine means it'll be lightweight compared Android but I doubt the difference will be a whole lot.

I get what ur saying but it's not just the interface that had me enthused it's well the whole OS I love there take on notifications whereas every icon has its own notification center I can only imagine how devs will use that also it seems there pushing u interacting with the notifications right there meaning like u can reply to a message without opening another app and the gestures if implemented properly that would be epic also I agree alot of android apps utilize native code anyways it's just that with this you'd be forced to use it so I doubt you'll turn on your phone after installing this and be OMG my eyes have opened and I can see again lol but still am adopting wait and see approach unless it comes to my device in which case I'll will dive right in theres a possibility of returning to android

But if the difference of no Java will be enough to experience it someway (maybe its faster, maybe it will have longer battery life, or whatsoever) then this isn't something you can achieve with a new laucher.

And I still hope that fragmentaion will be handled better than on android and updates easier to get. Then this would mean to me a whole new level than android.
