Re: Ubuntu Touch on Nexus 7 2013 (LTE)
They wouldn't need to emulate the android run-time as much as include it. as the android run-time is an engine on top of a Linux kernel. that would give them a huge application repository. I am not a fan of a number of the web-apps they have. but the native ones are really nice when you can find them. And i think i rather like the general OS navigation. I think i will endeavor to be at the sammtich tonight and bring it along for people to look at.

Re: Ubuntu Touch on Nexus 7 2013 (LTE)
That's very cool, I've wondered how usability of ubuntu touch is progressing. I'd love to put it on my old transformer infinity, maybe unity might actually be useful then. Yes, needs apps... Re: Apps, They can do what makers of devices with less produced apps attempt, emulate android runtime for importing apps (ahem, windoze and blackberry), which has always been my vote for ubuntu touch (and linux). Not sure if use of dalvik to art changes things, but there never seemed to be any good ways short of running it in qemu or like vm for hardware level abstraction under linux. And that was shoddy at best for me. There was the chrome hack for running android apps, but chrome hates amd video, and amd hates everyone to produce suitable linux drivers. It never worked for me, thanks gpu. Anyone else know if there are better ways to run native apps under linux or touch these days? Seems since the kernels aren't that different, emulation could be made to work enough for the runtimes natively, and apparently others have or are figuring it out in much more foreign waters (ew, windoze phone). -mb On 08/18/2015 10:27 AM, Stephen Partington wrote: Now if they could get some application development... --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss

Ubuntu Touch on Nexus 7 2013 (LTE)
So i was recently able to get a hold of a 2013 Nexus 7 tablet. Didn't last long before stock was no fun anymore (its an issue i know) and installed CM 12.1 this is working well for me but i then recalled how much i have been wanting to try Ubuntu Touch. so i set myself up to install today. so far it has installed nicely. Now to get into it and see what ticks. -- A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
