Ubuntu Phone OS on N7000

tillum · Feb 16, 2013

Hey folks, I'm keen to start work porting the gnexus image for Ubuntu to the N7000 when it's released later this week. Is anyone else keen to join this effort?

While very familiar with the linux commandline, servers, desktop linux, and flashing my phone, I haven't compiled much code before and am unsure where to start. I would appreciate any advice you might have.

Looking forward to getting this os running on our original notes.

I would love to see some support here. Push!

I'm presuming you're going to need to build an unbuntu compatible kernel for the note, mobile devices don't tend to work in the same way as desktops, so the pretty much universal kernel model used on the desktops don't work too well here. (size being the major consideration).

Not really looked into what they are doing, I'm presuming they will release source under gpl, so at least you will be able to diff a standard gnex build and the ubuntu. You can then use that as a basis to rebuild for the note.

"Porting" an image if that's all they release is going to end up quite messy.
EDIT according to techradar they will release source http://www.techradar.com/news/softw...galaxy-nexus-nexus-4-coming-next-week-1131567

But doesn't it run on android kernel without any modifications?

You think every android phone runs on the same kernel? Think again.

It's always a possible that they will use an Android kernel for the gnexus or n4 builds, but it's unlikely, as Android has some features that don't play too nicely with a mainstream Linux build.

Not seen this yet, nor code for it, so can't say exactly what they are doing yet.

See what happens when it comes out then, but would seem from the information Canonical is presenting that they are using standard android kernels. Will be interesting to see.

Yes, but what he say is that Ubuntu runs from Android Kernel. The CyanogenMod 10.1 kernel. And as we have CM 10.1 on note, the kernel is not a problem

tillum · Feb 22, 2013

Yep, definitely looks doable now. Love cyanogenmod and ubuntu.

It's been ported to the SGS3 so provided a developer picks it up for the N7000 i can't imagine it's far off:

Mods, can you please create a section in the N7000 forums for Ubuntu phone os? Thanks.

Is that really necessary for 1 thread?

Well... There is actually just 1 thread but in (near?) future there will be more threads for mods, roms etcpp and so they would get lost between the android threads... But I think we have time till the first port appears...

But count me in for beta! Would be pretty awesome seeing Ubuntu 4 Phones on our beloved GNote!
