You're right. Ubuntu Touch's based on CM10.1, which isn't even stable. You can imagine that Ubuntu Touch would/will be even worse as far as performance, battery life and that stuff is concerned. But not only that... Don't forget that the WFS is a 2 year-old phone with 3,5 year-old hardware. Even if you managed to port it successfully, it would just be a... "nice-to-have", but not a daily driver.
we can't port or build ubuntu touch because we don't have sufficient NAND for it.
Guys lets not be too hostile towards poor Mahesh. He wanted to create a thread that would help us. No need to start offending his idea. I suggest that some of you apologize.
Really sorry to disappoint him,unless Ubuntu touch has the ability to boot like android on sd card,I think it would be able to work! I am not sure if Ubuntu touch will support that.

Android is good and all, but I'd like to play with WP7 on my phone, if it's possible. Are there any developers working on it?
Not that I know of. It would be a very difficult task with a completely new code base and matching the hardware drivers with it. But maybe there are brave souls attempting it. Unfortunately our device is not a popular one like htc hd2, which has all sorts of operating systems ported. So my guess is we will not see it.

No way it will be the biggest headache...the developers will comm suicide....

Good luck with this. I will be following even though I dont have any interest in having Ubuntu on my phone unless maybe in a dual boot function.
Well eventually thats what im shooting for.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=889433 <-- this is the thread for the hd2
but eventually once a stable build is created i want to have dual boot feature so.
Hoping the best for this with dual boot, thanks in advance for your efforts :thumbup:

This will be fully native right? As opposed to ones that use a vnc server/client?
Yes this will be fully native and evenually dual boot. Once a stable build is ready for release

Erm... "kernel"
why just because you can? i will follow this for knowledge but don't see the point ... isnt ubuntu making a moblie version of the os themselves with a possible hardware phone too? i dont think it really has a place ... never the less i wish you good luck
ubuntu would be best for tablets not phone imo
I'm not putting a desktop version of Ubuntu on the phones. And yes but its based on android GUI and android code. I am doing this because it becomes an option..... something different . And I had an hd2 the idea itself and the actual build was pretty interesting. But think about a mobile true Linux device. All the possabilities

Also I want to make point of this Ubuntu mobile OS will be similar to android with an effing unity interface. Personally I hate the unity interface. By porting Linux Ubuntu this opens the doors for things like idk for ex programming custom gui's. Ha aha if somebody wishes a true mobile hacking unit lol not that I support this fashion of hacking. But again its DIFFERENT. But all in due tine need to get through my exams

If I can propose something, please have the RTL8187 module already built in with USB host active!
Can't wait to see development!!!!
If you need beta testers let me know! I'm more than happy to help with this project.
Awesome idea USB functionality I already incorporated and I will let everyone know on a beta

Also, provide kernel source and headers so if anyone who wants to build new modules/drivers it will be easier!
I would look at Backtrack-ARM too. I am running it in chroot but having native would be awesome! If we can find elite engineers to convert our broadcom wifi and make it monitor/injection working would be like the n900 but with way more power and bigger/better screen for mobile pentesting!

I owned a Sony xperia x8 prior to this nexus and I loved it.. People in xda tried a lot to port sense on to x8 but failed to do it fully as lack of rom space...
Well now we have 1 gig of rom so I don't think we'll have less space or that.
Have people here tried porting sense 4.1 to our nexus?? It would look so beautiful here.
If no one has.. Please try now.
Or I have done some development in android.. Would love to learn.. Can you guide me to the place I can learn to make a sense rom?

Yes, without apparently success. Use the search in development section.
There's a couple of other threads discussing the same thing right now. The short answer, if I understand correctly, is that the technical difficulties involved are more than most devs want to tackle. Sense was never written to operate on this hardware, so the job of porting it over would be huge. In addition, Sense is closed source, so without access to any of the Sense source code the job gets even harder.

Just don't think there's enough interest.
http://www.sense4all.info somewhat got it but they said porting sense 3.5 will be easier so I think they're doing that right now. Maybe.
No offense, but why not just by a HTC device?
love my dhd , will be sad to see it go and will probably not buy htc again in protest of the ICS saga.
Anyways, seen this a good few months ago and wondering are we any closer to running ubuntu yet ?
http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/android
For me this seems to be the way forward
Multi-core req
I also love my DHD, but i seem that the ubuntu project requires a multicore (minimum dual) so I don't think this will be posible.

You seem to doubt the development team greatly. Whenever ubuntu for mobile become ever more popular or when a dev has the free time to work on a port it will be done.
There are many lower end devices that are not fully 1Ghz running android from its original (windows mobile) so relax and see;jelly bean and ics ports are still in swing

Hi,
I saw a video of Ubuntu touch on YouTube and to me it looks stable and usable as a daily.
Also, Canonical have set a date for version 1.0 release. October 17th, which isn't long to go, so...
I was curious if there was interest in getting this project going again?
If I had the knowledge to port this myself I would, but I don't, nor do I have a desktop PC that works.

I'm interested in this too.
I've tried making a build, but with no success. I'm not a developer so I don't understand kernel stuff...
I hope someone will make a working build, because Ubuntu touch looks like a really great OS.
There was a thread about this topic but they stated @ this state radio (data,bluetooth,gps) would not be functioning

i'm waiting for that moment when dual booting will be available for android Multi Core devices.
lets think only in positive way :laugh:
I am using Ubuntu OS on laptop,dekstop.I am wondering Ubuntu touch.Maybe New Phone OS will be very bugs.
Hello all,
meanwhile some time has passed and Ubuntu TOuch has reached stable on some devices. Would anyone be still interested in trying to port again to HTC One X now? I think chances are not so bad that it would be successful.
