I am wondering how did Jolla modify Android to have the Sailfish UI? Also when you install the Sailfish image on top of the Cyanogenmod image what are the scripts doing to change the cm image?
It's cannibalising device drivers from the CM image. It's not using the OS at all. OS is Sailfish.
Oh ok thank you. Does anybody know then how they run android apps on Sailfish? Do they have Android Run Time or Dalvik and their own for native apps or a special combo one?

Hello Everybody,
Many of you must be familiar with Ubuntu Mobile, Ubuntu's latest project in the field of mobiles. Now the question is- Is Ubuntu supported on HTC HD2?
The Answer to the question is- Yes. As explained in the Linked video(See Below) by UBUNTU Co-founder, Ubuntu works on all the devices which can run Android. If you're not sure what I am saying, please see the video, seek it to 20:49 if you don't want to watch the whole video. It is based on Android Kernel only.
See the video here- http://youtu.be/cpWHJDLsqTU
(already Seeked)- http://youtu.be/cpWHJDLsqTU?t=20m49s
So, I am here with a new challenge, and that is the Porting Of Ubuntu Mobile. I hope you all are ready for it! :good:
I will be waiting for a Native SD Release!

Ubuntu is Linux, Android is Linux, nothing new there. 'Supported' is vague. I didn't see the part in the video where he said, and we will provide drivers and support for your 3 year old phone

NO my friend
Ubuntu is Linux,
Android is JAVA + Linux
it's NOT the same

Yes, but the kernel is similar (Android just misses out ALSA support). Java just provides the UI.

OP, i am just wondering u are porting "Ubuntu Mobile" or "Ubuntu Touch"?
You must acknowledge that "Ubuntu Mobile" is for "x86" CPUs, "Ubuntu Touch" is for "ARM" CPUs.
And currently, i want to port this, too. May be u will be faster
is Ubuntu Touch pure linux without dalvik VM? is it better for that?
Yes, currently, Ubuntu Touch is using the base android.
It uses its HAL, and dalvik VM, etc are not needed.
Ubuntu Touch is supposed to run on CM10.1, and currently, i found a source of CM10.1 for HTC HD2.
Compilation is still in progress, i met lots of errors, but lets hope we will success
I am going to update any progress here.
2013-03-11: This log has been created.
2013-03-17: After lots of tries and debugging, CM10.1 has been successfully compiled. No BCMDHD support. I'll try to port it to ubuntu tonight or tomorrow.
2013-03-22: Way to achieve ubuntu on the htc hd2 has been found. Due to my school tests start from today, development will be slow/suspended for about a week.
2013-03-24: Base android has been successfully ported into the HD2, although it is a bit slow/buggy, it is still acceptable.
2013-03-24: UbuntuTouch rootfs OK! No gui yet, need sometime for debugging.
2013-04-03: I just figured out that everything i done was wrong, i should use my custom android-init instead of the old init, debugging for the new init.
R: Ubuntu Mobile - Development
so Ubuntu mobile can't run on HD2? just x86?
are there any differences between the two distro?

Hi
I downloaded and installed Android Studio today . I installed JDK 7 befor that .
Android Studio runs , but when i click new project and compelet wizard , my computer attempts to download something from Internet and my connection speed is very low . How I can run Androd Studio without downloading exceesive materials from Internet ???
I don't know if you can use Android Studio without this download (I don't think so) but it's about 30-40 mb... Even if you have a bad connection, I think you can download it.
Did you do this?
Follow the setup wizard to install Android Studio.
Known issue: On some Windows systems, the launcher script does not find where Java is installed. If you encounter this problem, you need to set an environment variable indicating the correct location.
Select Start menu > Computer > System Properties > Advanced System Properties. Then open Advanced tab > Environment Variables and add a new system variable JAVA_HOME that points to your JDK folder, for example C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_21.

So does this now mean Android supports Java 7? If not how does android studio get around the compiler problem?

I think that it does. However, it might be compiled as Java 6 but you can use the JDK 7.

They say that they want to support both Eclipse and Android Studio. However, in my opinion Android Studio is already better than Eclipse.
And they said that they will focus on Android Studio in the next time to add all necessary features. :good:

I tried to install an application for a raspberry pi on my nexus 7. I extracted it, but when I tried to run it, it failed with:
No such file or directory
Any solutions?
Sounds like it is meant to be run on the pi. Not the Nexus 7.

you can't just arbitrarily run any application. it needs to be an android app.

What he said, and usually the system says that when the file is not marked as an executable.
Even if the binary was designed to run on ARM-based processors, it needs to be compiled for that operating system.
For example you cannot take a console binary made for Mac OSX (identifier Mach-O), and run it on a FreeBSD system even though OSX was originally based on FreeBSD4 (much the same as how Android was originally based on linux variations, and is still technically linux, but technically not).
I mean unless someone wants to write some kind of binary compatibility setup, much like how I can run *some* linux binaries on FreeBSD using the Linux Binary Compatibility port. But out of the box, not going to happen unless it was written for Android.
PS: Easier Analogy... trying to run a windows EXE on Android.
So how do I install the proper libraries? My device has the stock rom and it is rooted.
You learn how to code and port it.

Wtf? You should read up on how applications work. Installing libraries is the least of your concerns. If the application had not been compiled to run on android it won't run. Period. Its not a difficult concept to comprehend.

Doesn't work that way, differnet binary code won't run on a system it's not compiled for, choice is to recode I yourself or hope someone has a battery sucking emulator for android.

You call it dirty, i call this awesome! are you trying to get it to work better? I'm overly excited about the sailfish os and i'd love to already see it or have it running right now
Hi guys,
which alternative os could be installed on the Nexus 7 (2013)?
Actually i would be glad to install Ubuntu on my device, but thats not possible because of a different cpu architecture...
So i ask you for a list of possible operating systems which not based on android like cyanogon...
Why? Just want to free from google and test it...

Actually you can install lots of different versions of linux on your Nexus 7, including Ubuntu and Backtrack. Check this app. The Nexus 7 is on the supported list.

Actually cyanogenMod is just a customized version of Android, it's not a different OS. So i take that what you meant is installing a different ROM on your Nexus 7. Anyway you should start from here
This app seems to be an emulator for different linux distros, don't?
I would prefer a full flash and boot right into linux e.g ubuntu...

He was just trying to help you. May be you should use search in the forums or use google. I typed linux on nexus 7 and found tons of results. Also there is a thread for Firefox OS in the Development forums. You would be much safer doing the linux inside android from the play store.

Okay - I will give it a try. But I realy can't imagine it's fast and stable enough for continuous running (what I am looking for)...

The complete Linux installer says it only works on certain supported kernels. I'm no expert, so is the stock kernel supported? I'd like to try Ubuntu on my rooted stock Nexus 7 2013. (32G)
