Ubuntu OS - EVO 4G General

Just saw an article from CNET stating that Ubuntu is creating their own smartphones. I haven't had a chance of reading the article yet posted here:
http://www.cnet.com/8301-17918_1-57561644-85/ubuntu-os-smartphones-tapped-for-late-2013/?ttag=fbwp
What are the ideas on this and if it will be usable on our android smartphones. I'm just going to assume that most of the settings will be generally the same. The screenshots alone look enticing enough.

I'm sure it will be for specific phones. Its like running iOS on a nexus device.. It'll have to have heavy modification for it to be even doable.

Not necessarily. The article did state that it would be possible to run Ubuntu OS on entry level phones (low tier devices) Though, I'm not sure how true that is until I see it with my own eyes. Nevertheless, it would be pretty cool to see it running on most Android devices flawlessly; Possibly even the OG EVO.

The Evo meets the minimum system requirements.

wp7 will never happen on the evo. the devs just do not seem interested in doing it. i too wouldn't mind playing with it but i doubt it will come to light.
more soo id still love too see webos ported to the evo, even xda has a section for it now.

For sure, webos is pretty fun to play with, I owned a pre for a little then traded it for my cdma heroc.
Edit: Aren't the evo and hd2 pretty much identical? (Hardware wise)

yeah i think the hd2, hd7 and the evo are pretty similar.
Legally... porting w7 to the hd2 is just as wrong as porting it to the evo....
all those people that say i has a license, so what? its like saying i have a license to run windows vista... so i can install a hacked version of windows 7 legally.
If they are allowed to post those roms here, we can too. The only thing is finding devs to do it.

I really wish a port would come to fruition. However, no dev even seems remotely interested.
Also, windows phone 7 has been out for quite a while now on GSM carriers, but there has been no port to a GSM android device. I fear there might be more issues than just developer interest.

I just read that the HTC arrive doesn't even have wimax support. I'm sure it would have been alot easier if it did. I'm guessing it would be a full time job for someone to take along the port i.e getting wimax to work and etc. So right now I don't believe there's even a cdma wp7 phone with wimax yet. Bummer

im sure we could get this too work. if they can port it to the hd2 then we can have it also. we just need a dev here to give it a go. im thinking virus could get interested.

A lot of people are scared of android, and most of them come from iPhones that just "work" and never had to to anything. Also, those same people just want the phone to make calls, or from the time, use flash.

Can. Not. Wait. To have the NS4G, I want to be on the first wave of Google updates. Screw waiting around for ROM XX.XX to integrate it.

Welcome to the forums, and welcome to the Atrix community. Make sure to read the stickies at the top of each forum so people don't get mad at you. That said, don't let angry comments get to you. Enjoy the new phone!

Yeah, for me it will need to have more RAM and be quad core. There are new phones coming out that still don't have 1gb of RAM and are hanging around that 1.2 dual core. My ATRIX is already OCed to 1.45.

This is true BUT seeing all these devices get fully working ICS is making me somewhat regret my decision. Though I am positive that once full sources are released, we should get that soon.
But no denying that hardware wise, the Atrix is a monster and just as good as anything else on the market (especially now since Darkside just got full HDMI Mirroring as well as Webtop over HDMI).

Welcome to the land of Atrix Forums!
Where we all seem to hate each other one day, and like each other the next.
Lol, seriously though, I've been on the Atrix forums since day one of the Atrix release. I've never been a part of a community that was so....... temperamental.
Concerning WiFi Tether and Titanium backup --- those are all both pretty easy to get going... just refer to Swiftks N00B guide. He really did a great job with that thing. I find myself referring going back to it every once in a while.
Once you unlock bootloader ---- the Atrix becomes a whole different beast. You'll have so much to do, it's going to be nuts.

That's exactly what happened, but to say it was no big deal is foolish. It may not have been as awesome as building from the source that does not exist yet, but to get a bunch of noobs who don't know how to flash anything onto Jellybean and to even have the idea to extract the OTA from the I/O devices is a little bit more than "nothing special"
What I meant is that it could have been done sooner or later with all of the devs at io. What else do you expect them to do with a dev phone loaded with exclusive access to jb. Jeez I'm not trying to steal credits here look at my sig I'm not even a android user (yet). My point is it's not worth to celebrate something like that by opening a thread just keep going on existing threads.
