That's the Atrix 2 (OMAP), and that's Ubuntu for Android rather than Ubuntu Phone OS.
Ubuntu for Android, as I understand it, is basically the Webtop that we've already had for some time now and uses the kernel already on the device, whereas Ubuntu Phone OS is a complete replacement for Android, but the details themselves are a bit sketchy, like what display server they're using, what kernel is supported. Wouldn't it be both ironic and disappointing if it required an ICS/JB kernel, especially since we still have a Froyo/GB kernel.

yea because it's not really a proof that it is working for our tegra phone. it's a lot different so u have to find a phone that has the same specs this but there is no one.
let's see if it will work for us that would be awesome

Yeah, he identifies the device about 10 seconds or so in, but admittedly if he didn't the only other way to identify it would be process of elimination, looking at the logo's and figuring it out that way.

Guys, there's a post of saiftheboss7 that he mention that he made a request to Mark Shuttleworth, Ubuntu's Guru. You can upvote that request so that the Ubuntu Kahuna sees that us Atrix users want the Ubuntu OS for our beloved A4G. I can't post links right now, too noob for the forum, but you can check it out in this section.
Upvote my friends, upvote and we can have a better functional phone!!!!!:good:

please don't force the devs to support our phone. just let the image release si the devs can see the source code and the system. After that we can ask to import the os to the atrix if it's possible.

I don't think this will be fully working without an ICS Kernel.

I think an effort like this worths a try, since we can aways update the userspace ubuntu packages, keeping the old kernel. I don't see why the old gingerbread kernel wouldn't work.

Given the amount of "non-standard" hardware in the SGS2, you'll need support libs from either an existing non-AOSP OEM firmware, or from CM7 won't you?

Lol no he can't. There isn't a FULL system dump of the Galaxy Nexus yet. There is only the dump from the SDK. He will probably theme it like Ice Cream Sandwich. Anyways good luck to the dev
source is the power, says cyanogen. wont this be useless when the sources are released? wont this feel like wasting cuz when sources is released, other devs will easily make those ICS roms, instead of porting it.
well anyway good luck to the dev!

That's not the point. Of course, a dump would be a lot better. But being the first to port and get a working SDK rom... Now that's where the fun is
It is possible, we have the full SDK ROM.

I for one don't see this working as every device seems to be getting the same LibC error at the moment (except for some reason the G2).
The best hope seems to be getting a HC rom to work then using the boot.img from that to boot the ICS sdk port. (this is what we believe happened with the G2 to get it to boot)
I would be satisfied with the new gmail application including widget
Cheers!
Looking to try .Hope you have a great ICS.

[MOD] suggestion for a webtop solution on AOSP/CM/AOKP

I found this tread that makes an install of Linux on every mobilephone, could this be usefull?? I am not a developer but I think this thing belongs to Development, if not I am sorry and ask mods to move this.
So what you want to do is install webtop as a linux OS on the atrix?
I think its not posible...but maybe Im wrong
from the (m)ATRIX...
Quote from that thread:
This projects aim is to bring a range of linux distros to your android device through a method known as 'chroot',

As far as I know, this is already available for the Atrix's webtop since forever ago, through debian chroot (and possibly webtop2sd).

Since this is a project working on also other devices w/o webtop functionality, maybe it could help in having webtop in cyanogenmod and other custom ROM builted from sources!

I know, but I posted the link here so that maybe some devs could possibly integrate it into a ROM so that when you connect the phone to tv/dock it boots automatically into linux distro!
It doesn't work like that. You have to actually start the hardware side of things on the tegra2 chip, it has nothing to do with the chroot linux distro, which is very old news (and all the devs know about it). What you essentially have to do is code the x session to send itself over the seperate hdmi output frame buffer, which also has to be triggered and deactivated properly.
No developer has been interested in really trying it. Jokersax was working on it at one point in CM9, but scrapped it due to upstream changes that broke his code.
This doesn't really belong in this section, and I've given you the actual reason why there's more to this than you think. Also, as I said, everyone knows about running linux on android in this fashion, as it's a very old project at this point.
Yup, chroot methods won't help a bit
I believe that webtop on cm is something that Samcripp is still trying to make work...

The gingerbread webtop is a hack by Motorola. Even tho is a linux distribution its tightly woven into android libraries. This libraries without source can't be added into cm7.
Cm9 is different. Ics is capable of switching to tablet mode. Offering a better option than just plain locked down linux. We shall see.

[DEV]Mozilla Boot to Gecko

Searching a dev who understand about source ... i wona build mozilla boot to Gecko for X8 :fingers-crossed: or help in this theard ..

And why..B2G is alpha stage..wait for stable ROM
Sent from my E15i using xda premium
I know.. but you wona say its not better to do it ........
Honestly, why? Why on earth would you need B2G on an X8? You're far better off trying to develop for JB or ICS. But I support you and would also like to help, but I cannot download the sources as my Internet connection sucks big time. And also you need to figure out a way to run the kernel from sd-ext if I'm not mistaken. So if the sdcard goes bust somehow, the user's screwed (for some time), right? Keeping these things in mind, I personally feel that developing for JB or ICS would be far better. Still with you, if you need any help.

You can take a look at the github.com/adfad666 .
He started on porting to LG P500. As we share the same chipset it can be used as base for x8 too.

This may help ICS development....

Our Tegra 2 is the AP20H board right? Well other than MOTO specific drivers like finger print reader/webtop shouldn't this help in making a full port with everything working like full acceleration and the like? http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i9103_galaxy_r-3967.php It has the same board and has official ICS. Sorry if this is a repost, just trying to help the cause.
We need a new kernel, the drivers alone don't help us.
Sent from my MB860 using xda app
Yeh this has been looked at already =/
We do have the drivers needed, but we don't have a compatible kernel, as I've said many times. We can only get the kernel from Motorola.
Sent from my #Motofail... No further Plans coming...
Or we can try to develop kernel from source of another AP20H devices.

Android 4.2 for Xperia 2011

I recently heard that FXP will stop developing for the whole Xperia 2011 series, when just around the corner, Android 4.2 was standing with a bag of goodies, for which FXP has a valid reason, that these devices lack ram to support features of 4.2. I decided to build 4.2 from source for 2011 devices, for those who'd want to try out the latest version of android. I can handle compiling ROM. But need some help with kernel. if you can help out, or if you wanna be a part of the project. Leave a comment at this thread or PM me. After public release, Dev's can submit their patches / fixes for the ROM to that thread....
I do this because i don't want us to be stuck with stock based ROMs forever and because 4.2 looks awesome . All in all, Thankyou FXP for your work.
one thing that our xperia 2011 devices (especially neo/v ) lack is kernel developers ,we dont have linux 3.0 kernel which which would have made the user experience of JB 4.1 or 4.2 better , linux 3.0 supports many advanced features of JB ,but due to lack of these kernels our user experience will be incomplete , building & testing out these kernels will take hell of time and patience.
i hope this doesn't disappoint's any user or dev just a suggestion
linux 3.0 kernels would be awesome on our phones
i wish you all the best for taking such a great project

I would like to help, though I'm not of that much use YET.
Right now I'm mainly into developing apps, currently learning myself the basics of Kernel Development, I'm also capable of compiling Android.
Going to mess around a bit today, haven't compiled Android for my Xperia Pro yet.
Dympy.
Ok so.. Half way through compiling it failed, because of low storage or something. I read up online and found out that I need atleast 30gigs for compiling, where as I only have around 15-20 free on my laptop, lol unlucky I guess.. So project delayed - until I get more storage for my pc or if someone compiles for me if I give them the sources (if want 4.2 faster). And as for the kernel, instead of building a kernel (which may take long). I'll be modifying the current JB kernel for 4.2
