Ubuntu for Galaxy S5? - Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Will there be a version of the Ubuntu OS for any version of the Galaxy S5? I would like to see a version of Ubuntu for it. I, personally, have the Verizon Developer Edition of the Galaxy S5, but wanted to ask for anyone for has a Galaxy S5.

There won't be an official version developed by Canonical. If you can, however, get someone who owns a Galaxy S5 to port the OS to your device, there's no reason why it shouldn't work.

There you go. No ics for ace and s.
Well it's not, they just said which one will be upgraded first. They did not specifically say that ace won't be upgraded.
So, in short.. it's still up in the air.

if you read samsungs official things they haven't mentioned anything which cnet is saying...
if they upgrade only 2 phones then i see they will loose number 1 spot in 2012 which they gained in 2011....as most of owners would go crazy on upgrades
Samsung Electronics plan to provide the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update for GALAXY devices. The platform update for GALAXY S II and GALAXY Note will start in the first quarter 2012, and other GALAXY devices will soon follow

From what i understand it's not still up in the air. S2 and note will be the first to be upgraded but the whole list of phones to be upgraded is this one:: the Galaxy R, the Galaxy Tab 10.1, the Galaxy Tab 8.9, the Galaxy Tab 7.7, the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus (the dual-core variant of the 7.0) and the Galaxy S2 LTE
To be honest i was not hoping for an official update for the ace but it's weird that galaxy s, galaxy s plus and w won't get an update

Is it possible to port some apps from galaxy nexus ?

Hi dear,
I'm interested in getting a galaxy s3.
I want ICS apps from the galaxy nexus but don't want to use the CM9 or AOKP yet as those rom do not offer the functionality that the galaxy s3 is supposed to have.
Anyway, I want 'Phone', 'Contact' and 'Message' app from the galaxy nexus.
Is it possible? If it is please let me know how to!

Resurrect slow Galaxy Mega 5.8 I9152 using lightweight Android OS

I have an old Galaxy Mega 5.8 I9152 that I haven't used for a while but I use it when I go overseas so I dont have to take my current phone which is a Nexus 6P. But over the years the Galaxy has become really sluggish. So it is possible to install a really lightweight barebones Android like Nexus? It doesnt have to be the latest Android because I will be using it just to make calls and messaging so I need the bare minimum.
