Greetings!
I would dearly love to install the Ubuntu OS on my cell phone,
but am aware that there are only certain models which are
currently compatible, besides the Aquaris phones available to
purchase (only available in certain countries
http://www.ubuntu.com/phone/devices).
Yes, only a few phones are compatible. Some Google Nexus devices seem the
best bet right now. But Ubuntu Phone is barely usable, there are really a
lot of issues.
Have any Lubuntu/Ubuntu users on this group had any
experience/success with this? My current phone is an LG L70
(apparently not compatible with Ubuntu or Cyanogenmod).
Also, please give feedback on experiences with rooting your
phone/workarounds, and what OSs you have had success with.
About tablets: there are some cheap i386 tablets, like the Dell Venue 8 Pro
3845, these can run linux, but there are issues with the drivers. Afaik
Ubuntu still isn't really compatible with 32bit-UEFI, so only Debian 32bit
Jessie or newer support this (I don't know other distributions which
support 32bit-UEFI out-of-the-box, but they may exist).
Apologies for this not being strictly Lubuntu related, but I
think the info would be useful as the subject of "device
convergence" is quite topical.
Thank you.
Steve
