This sounds awesome. My only question is does the phone still work if someone calls? Total noob question I'm sure :-/

You know how they say that you should only say 20% of what you think. I thought the original person making comments was the same type of douchenozzle that corrects spelling errors in chats and stuff. . .not identifying that casual forms of computer mediated communication offers more allowances than . . .say an academic study. I have seen this before, and frankly did not want to call that guy out because he probably does not know better.Because it legitimately detracts from the quality of an otherwise fine thread.
yeah it pretty much runs as a virtual machine on top of android...i only tested it and everything but android is always running...it grabs data and internet from the phones 3g/4g connection.
I have a couple of questions for this mod.
- From the instructions this appears to be something that you would not be booting into but would have to launch (at least with the instructions provided). Is this correct?
- Do you have typical functionality of the phone or does this covert the device to a UPMC?
- Uninstallation is as simple as removal of the files?
EDIT: I read the thread again after posting and saw someone saying it runs as a VM on top. . .I would assume that this address question 1, minimizes questions 2 and 3. . .but I am still curious.
So I am a fool. after running through this I can see what is going on . It appears that the phone is still on and you are just in the VNC application making a local ssh connection to display the GUI.
I did make some mistakes in the creation of the .bashrc file and will have to work to open it. I did get connected to my local ubuntu and can navigate the gui (hit start button, switch desktops).
I have yet to be able to launch any applications though. I did notice that a click and hold seems different to anything else and there are some input settings that let me use the mouse with the dpad and such.
Am I doing something wrong or missing something. I also had to set the use local mouse option in the VNC settings to be able to get this far. . .but I have yet to be able to actually launch an application. nonetheless. . .this is awesome and thanks. I look forward to the new hotness.

I can't get ubuntu to boot after the install. I'm not sure the install completed correctly. Here's my command prompt interface output from the install process:

With All The "Permission Denied"... Did You Grant Superuser Permission In ADB Shell?
I too have yet to be able to launch an application. Other than mines that is. I got that running but unfortunately I don't know how to right click so I can't play haha.
Ok My First Question Is When You Set Up The "Ubuntu" Folder On Your SD Card, Did You Place The Files Directly In There, Or Did You Unzip The Folder From The Download And Place The Whole Folder In There With The Files Inside That Folder? ...If You Did, You Need To Open Ubuntu, And Pull The Files From That Folder And Put It In "Ubuntu" So When You Open Your SD Card, You Can Click On "Ubuntu" And There Are 6 Files Inside It. If That Is NOT Your Problem, Are You Sure You Put In All The "Apt-Get Update", "Apt-Get Install Tightvncserver", "Apt-Get Install Lxde", And "Apt-Get Install Openssh-server"?, Did You Get The "Root@Localhost" At All? ...Hit Me Back, I'm Looking Forward To Figuring This Out Lol.
I've had it set to automatically grant SU for a while. As you can see, it has the # prompt and not the $.
yeah the files are directly in /sdcard/ubuntu/(6 files). i didnt make it to the rest, i cant get to localhost. i put on what bootubuntu does. and it doesnt boot or anything. i read some evo forums and it was looking like a script error but i didnt read too much. im at work and limited what i can do. but im trying to change stuff around and doesnt seem to be working
