I wonder if its possible to get a port of Ubuntu phone from the nexus 4 to the OG.
And if so would you have to have the nexus conversion done.

I did this earlier today, and Ubuntu touch looks promising. It's no where near ready for daily use though. But that is to be expected with a developer preview.

....that's your personal opinion. I think that Ubuntu for phones will essentially be more powerful than android and will bring a variety of new possibilities to the table along with a cool new interface. The only negative thing I could think of is not being able to use android apps.
Wait lol was that sarcasm?
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda premium
New interface may be fun to tinker with I guess. The phone ecosystem is all about the apps, though.
All I see is a potentially more bloated os, much worse power management, less apps, etc. But I may be completely wrong.
Regardless it will be interesting to see if this and mozilla's phone os end up being worth a crap.

I don't want Windows 8 on my phone or on my computer. Win 7 rules and M$ is making a big mistake.
I would welcome WP7 or 8 as a dual boot.

I would only use it if we can dual boot it.
+1 on dual booting it. There are days that I would like an over simplified UI such as WP8, but I couldn't live with it full time. Plus the lack of customization would kill me. Also, a dual boot option would allow me to let others use my phone and actually know how to do anything at all. My Note is so streamlined for my personal use that nobody else can use it effectively.
I would like it just to try. In the end it will be the beSt OS

I themed my Ics as windows phone 7. I had an HTC surround and loved the ui. However android is still Top for me. So android with windows phone 7 ui is perfect.
Also that's clearly Photoshoped. The tip of the spen is gone and the buttons on the bottom are not angled correctly

We get it from HTC and they won't release it for 90 days. There is still a possibility that even if we get it it may not run correctly on the thunderbolt. We will see though.

The thunderbolt is the first phone on Verizon that has svdo which let's you talk and surf the internet at the same time even on 3g data. HTC and Verizon have both been protecting this technology by keeping sources closed indefinitely on the radio software for one. Since a lot of the sources are closed devs don't have interest in finding hacks and workarounds to deal with the lack of source. That's why a lot of the devs left this device. Even still though we have official ics and in a few months we should have the sources we need to build custom kernels that are needed for making a jb from.

Yeah I can understand the frustration from the devs. If we get it I'll enjoy it, if not then oh well not a big deal in my book. Still a good enough phone for my broke budget right now either way

SnowJB ROM is JB...that's the rom the guy above ran his benchmark with.
Who cares what the benchmarks are. We ALL know this phone is the fastest on the market right now. Dont need tests to prove it or reassure ourselves.

Honestly I did the n4 conversion as you can see, this phone is amazing. I like the lg stock ROM but I'm a aosp guy. So the device alone tho is great, camera is not bad once you fix it.. And sound is good. All in all love it. Had the note 2 and s3 both great devices, but this is better. The screen alone is the best

I personally am happy with the ROM I'm running, but judging from the amount of questions about "x is awesome... but where's miui?" in the Q&A section, there's plenty of interest!
Also, since I'm a flashaholic I most likely will flash it at least once :silly:

I am also interested in having miui in our phone and would like to test it if possible.

Trust me this question has popped up like 3 different threads. People want this, me myself have only heard of miui. New to this ROM bussiness so I've never actually got to use it and would love if you ported.
I have ported miui for the photon 4g and epic touch 4g but the lgog is my first gsm phone so be patient with me and I'll see what I can put together.. Any thoughts on what kernel to use ??
