Nice. So AFAICT, this improves over the 'usual' way of running linux on android as it shares the filesystem instead of using a chroot, meaning the linux side has access to everything. But X still can't run via android so it uses a remote desktop server/viewer. I guess this means that when connecting via HDMI the resolution of the external display will be limited to what the phone does? (because it will just be showing an android RDP app) is there a way around this? AFAICT the linux system is fully functional (native performance, latest browsers etc should work fine?), but unaware of android's presence. What is holding us back from doing the whole ubuntu-for-android-esq experience? - ie, linux boots when HDMI connected, android then lives inside an app in linux, and android notifications are shared to the desktop linux? and no RDP limitations. FYI this system is available to users of motorola phones of a certain age (atrix-d.razr)[1], with issues (at least the ubuntu version i tried; old ubuntu and unable to install eg. the latest browser versions). The polished version of concurrent linux+android has massive potential, IMO.. although this looks like a good step forward, subject to ubuntu still not releasing anything of their u4a! 1. ubuntu: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1281528 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1281528 gentoo: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1617684 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1617684
