~ Ubuntu Touch ~

[117micc]

I was browsing xda and ran across quite a few devices that have ubuntu touch os in development/working on their devices! I forgot how gorgeous it looked when the developer preview came out, I was truly looking forward to a working daily driver, back when I have the vzw Samsung galaxy S3. Never happend... I was wondering, does anyone plan on working inv something like this? Is there something for the G3 already? (I Google searched, xda searched, to no avail) I would love to see this on our device! We have a big community and I know people would jump on board to get this on there phones.

Verizon (and others) and Samsung are hurting themselves by locking down the device hard which is killing developer interest so I seriously doubt it. And the developer version is unsubsidized and hard to find.

Same thing as the S3. Once Verizon locked it developers started to drop like flys...

Man I was waiting for Ubuntu Touch for forever... being a huge fan of Ubuntu I was super excited it was being ported to android devices! Wasn't it supposed to be officially released like a year ago... alongside Ubuntu 14.04?

Lol I totally forgot I started this thread... Glad to see more people agree, but yeah ubuntu on the G3 is very doubtful with a locked boot loader :'(

Bootloader isn't locked

Bootloader isn't locked

We have a workaround not an unlocked bootloader.

Thank you for letting me know the new guide is up. I'll look at it and decide if it'd be practical and possible.

This would be cool of it could be done.

I would love to try this. To bad no one will port it. Stupid Verizon stop locking our android phones.

As a long term ubuntu fan myself, I doubt I'd be able to at least contain my curiosity if touch appeared for my VS985

You and me both.

I'd be interested in working on a porting project for the Verizon G3. I'd always wanted to do some kernel-level Android development
