Well this thread is dedicated about the possibilities of getting a port of ubuntu phone os. Recently displayed and would be launched around MWC 2013, Ubuntu OS will be launched for galaxy nexus! .
although there are short threads present about the topic, aim of this thread would be to provide Support/Bug-Report/F.A.Q if any port of ubuntu shows up for our phone from our great developers.
This is refreshingly new OS.
HERE IS THE LINK TO THREAD--> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2174544
I am damn sure some-one will take up this great job
Latest: Ubuntu Phone OS Porting Guide https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Porting
Some of Features of ubuntu phone:(taken from wikipedia)
OS family Unix-like
Working state Current
Source model Open source
Initial release February 2013; 30 days' time
Available language(s) Multilingual
Update method Ubuntu Software Center (+ APT, …)
Package manager dpkg
Supported platforms i386, ARM
Kernel type Monolithic (Linux kernel)
Userland GNU
Default user interface Unity shell
So what may be the hindrances:
What kernel version is it based on
will it require bootloader unlock ;-(
UBUNTU PHONE OS
since it is yet to be released this is an open discussion, if any developer takes this project for defy, this thread will be a F.A.Q/support/Bugreport thread (if ever it happens )
i'm here for tests.
i'm not a developer, but you guys can count with my defy+ for tests. I really would like to have ubuntu phone on my defy+.
I'd love to see Ubuntu Phone OS on Defy. First of all it's based on Android kernel so there wouldn't be much difficulty for it. The sources should be out next month. Also we'll need to find a method to dual boot with a custom kernel because it's less likely for someone to use it as a primary OS.

Will be very nice to see ubuntu working natively on ours Defy but the specification for minimal resources is beyond the possibilities of defy. So it can be ported but will be very laggy IMHO.

what is ubuntu's packaging method? i mean the OS image?

Not that beyond. Min specs (as stated here) only ask 4-8GB internal storage for an entry-level ubuntu phone, everything else (CPU clock, minimum RAM and multitouch capability) already cover our phone. Plus, as far as I remember (though I can easily be wrong on this, since I haven't touched an Ubuntu machine for months, now), this OS (specially considering it was specifically deployed for running on phones) doesn't take more than 2GB when installed. Again, I can be wrong, BUT... What about multiboot? A class 6 8GB card (or even a class 4, like the one included with our phones) may do the job, and we will still be able to boot CM10+ and ask silly questions to Google Now.

I may be wrong, but I think I read in more than one place it'll be available as a flashable zip. Since the folks there at Canonical were able to boot this little beauty in a Galaxy Nexus, and they intend to release the GNx version (without many workarounds needed to install) before the end of january, I think it's pretty safe to bet on a recovery-flashable zip file. Last, but not least, I think an install script (like the ones devs use in current Android flashable zips) may be slightly modified to install Ubuntu from a system image, specially if you consider Aroma-based installers are doing wonders in matter of personalizing Android installations. This not considering (and in this matter I have absolutely no idea) the possibility of the disk installer of linux distributions be already running scripts very similar to those used on Android flashable zips to install desktop OSs on computers. Devs will be better suited to tell about the latter.
P.S.: if anyone there tried Android-x86, you guys can see the installable image is very similar to an Ubuntu (or any other linux) installation zip. This might lead us in the opposite direction, looking at which modifications were made for the installer to work with Android, and reversing them for a Ubuntu installer to work in a flashable zip.

Is nice that you are very optimistic with this. I wanna be so but ... the entry level processor is a Cortex9 ! which is more powerfull than ours and Ubuntu is based on 3.4x kernel and necesitate a bigger system ROM to install (ours is ~350MB). Anyhow will wait and see and ... speculate.

It may depend on how far our devs will be able to strip down the OS for our phone, I think we may not require full fledged running desktop compatibility but it still depends by what extent we can strip down the footprint!

'm not developer but my red lens defy+ is available as a guinea pig.
Then I can make rather a system as primary OS alpha and p500 use my day-to-day
sorry my english
It would be nice if we had more one option rom. Live freedom!
are there some news? i've founded this video, but I can't understand if this is related to the thread in android development...
in youtube: watch?v=hglLF3dM8Zk (i'm not allowed to post link ^^ )
Kayant had released an alpha preview.. but the ubuntu project will be helpful iff we some how boot up 3.0.x kernel with RIL

Yeah i know you cant port MIUI but i am asking is it possible to build?
There's some x86 tablets work on MIUI; in theory it's okay. But you need to find sources for x86 and you need to develop it to work on ZF5 afaik.
Technically it is possible, but practically it probably cannot be compiled as easily as you think.
But there's a way to know, try it.
MIUI has a lot of effort from its opensource community.. It should be possible even with x86

teoreticaly yes, but only 4.4, so you need 4.4 zenfone device tree,
device tree(have some faults) https://github.com/shakalaca/android_device_asus_a500cg
and you will need miui source code: (maybe this im not sure) https://github.com/MiCode/patchrom_miui/tree/v7-android-4.4.4

Just compile AOSP :
- here are sources : https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/device-sony-pdx213
- here are instructions : https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/guides/aosp-build-instructions/
And please share some thoughts, I do not have the device yet so I could not do this myself

I managed to compile the sources but it doesn't seem to be enough.
Sony guide has a step to flash a vendor image:
Build AOSP Android 11.0 - Open Devices - Sony Developer World
developer.sony.com
There are no vendor images for 10 mark III yet.
I guess we need to wait till Sony publishes them. Please correct me if I'm wrong, it's a first time I compile Android

I guess we can create repo vendor and extract proprietary blobs from stock vendor...
I tested phh gsi lineage and its fully stable guy - in bonus green tint is fixed -
Nice
And it's good that there is no green screen in custom roms
I can't wait for DotOS or other roms. XperiaUI is boring.
@ada12 Are you also building recovery?

Hello. So is a custom ROM, or Lineageos now available for the Xperia 10 III? I know nothing about programming a phone, so this is something I may not do on my own. I really just need a new phone (still using a 2013 iPhone 5S) but refuse to use Google or Apple's ecosystem (anymore). I also refuse to use a phone made in China, nor lacks a headphone jack and the only other phones that meet these criteria are too large for me (even this one is on the large end). So does anyone have steps to degoogle this phone, as of the near future or so, so I may order this phone asap? I have Windows, Mac, and will be downloading a Devuan-based Linux distro on another computer soon. Otherwise, I know LineageOS has come out for the Xperia 10 II, but how does that one compare to this one?

At the moment, we do not have lineageOS and recovery. There are only aosp sources that we can build.
Ada12 is currently building a custom kernel.
We will have roms for sure in the future.

at the moment aosp sony custom rom boot . I have tried and its no booted Haxk20 have confirmed recently its have booted finally and guide compile sony is updated. actually they are no lineage custom rom in this devices ( need adapt trees ) but lineage GSI is already available for this phone. for recovery sources bringup its no finish.

I'm sorry I have no idea what you're saying. There are already available custom AOSP roms, no? What a "lineage gsi" and how do I compile it (on a Windows)? All I need until a custom rom is released is too remove google from the phone entirely. This is possible?

GSI is no a custom rom its a Generic System image , its update only /system ( os framework ) and use blobs,drivers from your /vendor , GSI is universal and run in all devices treble .
They are no custom rom available in public actually for this devices , source for custom rom is availlable but unstable in use ( sound only in headset , ril bug ... )
actually if you want run lineage or other custom android os use PHH GSI , or wait for custom rom ( NO ETA ).
