I've read references about getting Intel on board on some of the news articles about Project Ara. Considering Intel is working to bring x86 to the smartphone world could this be the key to getting full x86 desktop version Windows running smoothly on a smartphone?
Theres this company that is making CPUs for Ara called Rocketchip I think. They're working with Intel to make them so yeah, I guess it'll have intel

But will it specifically be the x86 architecture? Most mobile processors use mobile architectures, and while there is Windows for arm architecture it is not the same as the desktop windows we know and love. Desktop Windows is possible on mobile architecture through emulation but it will never be smooth, fast, stable, or fully functional.

Rockchip. I have a rockchip tablet. They are okay. I hope Intel gets involved. They have x64 devices already if I'm not mistaken.

It's a "because we can" scenario. There's a port of qemu for android that runs windows 9x/XP, debian/ubuntu x86, I'm sure it wouldn't be that hard to recompile it for native arm support and old chipset emulation. Just do a search on here for "android qemu"
Thanks...

Ubuntu for phones has just been announced today for mobile devices.
Ubuntu for phones website
Ubuntu for phones keynote presentation (Skip to 6:30 for the Mobile OS)
What does that mean for us? Ubuntu for phones supports the full range of ARM processors and also fully supports Android device drivers. Which means Ubuntu for phones should be easy to install on a multitude of android devices including the DINC2.
What does this mean for Devs? You can code in native C and C++ and there is no Dalvik VM to limit what you can and can't do.
We'll be getting a glimpse soon, as the Ubuntu OS will be made available for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus in the coming weeks.
That looks so sweet
I will keep my eye out for this one!

Sadly I seem to have been mistaken, the OS will only be available for phones that feature the A9 chipset and that doesn't look to include the DINC2....

Regardless it's good to something other than google os. As much as I love android, I wouldn't want google monopolizing the market furthermore. It's about time Ubuntu/Tizen and etc to shine.

is the tegra 2 a dual core A9?
is Ubuntu for phones native?
Is it just me, or does this Ubuntu release seem a lot like the Firefox Mobile project? How?
Well it seems that Canonical is trying to get mobile phone companies to actually adopt this OS rather than letting consumers install it on their devices, like what happens with Ubuntu Desktop OS.
Unless Canonical makes a really easy, simple way to install this on Android, I feel that this project will go the way of the dodo.
Unless of course, some awesome developers turn this into a custom ROM
It's going to be shown at CES (1/8-11/12), with the gnexus image being released soon. They've already said they want community members (it is open source after all) to help porting it to devices.
Now maybe a good time to get my feet wet with some of this fun stuff...the new Ubuntu and an extra One X floating around in my junk drawer.
Ubuntu for SmartPhones
I think its possible to port this in to most of the android phones after seeing the Ubuntu founder Mark Shuttleworth gives the Ubuntu phone OS demo on a GalaxyNexus which is a mainstream Android phone.

It is possible that later a developper changes it so it can be put on your phone but you will need to wait for that
Being sick of Google's and Qualcomm's disenfranchising my ARMv6 device, I am eager to try this baby. This is not an install over Android but a new OS but also Linux. I think that a Dalvik for this, such as the one for Sailfish/Meego, would be necessary for anyone to get into it. No one is going to install it in place of IOS or Windows. So our investment in the Android "ecosystem" would need protecting.
Android is opensource except for various "prebuilt" jni libraries. These are becoming increasing fatal exceptions.
So a complete opensource OS that one can compile for one's architecture would be most welcome. May Ubuntu will be this.
Minimally, the launcher (really, does anyone care what OS is under the hood?), would be a worthy port in itself!
I'm willing to port onto my HTC inc s with some help from the community.
Dead cookies leave no trails...
Same here for my LG P500 (but this phone is short on RAM for this, I am afraid).
Newer Linux Kernels should facilitate this since the Android mods have been incorporated and ARM devices explicitly supported.

Dual core processor with 1.2Ghz or 1Ghz (can't quite remember which), and at least 512MBs or RAM.
If they will port ubuntu (ROM) to all devices, that will be great! :fingers-crossed:

I don't know your phone but there is a solution that is supposed to work on every phone with Android img files available. I haven't tried it yet. Try it on your own risk! I won't be responsible for any bricks! (I recommend searching the internet about that first.) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2651425
I would suggest a phone with good UT support though. Nexus 4 for example. We don't know how long it will be supported though. They might switch to the newer Nexus 5.

it says the note 2 is supprted but only th At&t model # is listed. any ports to sprint? (i'll check as well, but i need 10 posts to ask in developer spots sadly)
---------- Post added at 06:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:28 AM ----------
yeah nvm. found it. it's still non-sprint. but there is a spot on the ubuntu website telling people how to port it, i know very little coding but i'll see if i can make heads or tails of it
Actually, a port was started here. It seems he barely got it up and running, not wanting to do any further optimization until Ubuntu Touch was further along. It appears there hasn't been much developement for quite a while. I hope development returns for the Wave I&II, but I suspect the hardware just won't be up to the task.

Arm. You can find detailed specs googling easily. Very few phones or tablets use x86 yet, not very energy efficient yet compared to ARM.
