| rodayo | I know that when the ubuntu phone image comes out it'll be very tailored to the galaxy nexus. But I'm guessing I can just go and buy a nexus from my provider and expect to get ubuntu on it with a few button presses. So what exactly would I need to do to the phone to put ubuntu on it? E.g. does the phone need to unlocked? | 04:31 |

| sbward | Hey, I'm excited about Ubuntu phone and have a few questions about developing apps. | 05:40 |
| sbward | Will apps be able to run in desktop mode and mobile mode? Will this require two interfaces to be coded, or possibly even two separate programs? | 05:41 |
| sbward | Found my answer elsewhere... hmm, dead channel right now :( | 06:06 |

| arinov | where can i buy phone and how much it costs? | 07:39 |
| sbward | arinov: the phone isn't on the market yet, you will have to wait :) | 07:41 |
| arinov | how much time? | 07:41 |
| arinov | to wait | 07:41 |
| sbward | i don't know, it's actually pretty early.... sorry | 07:42 |
| sbward | there will be some sort of open source demo for developers within a few weeks, but no official releases | 07:42 |
| arinov | and may i pay now and when it will be finished take one? | 07:42 |
| arinov | or how to buy experemental device for trying? | 07:43 |
| arinov | and... | 07:43 |
| arinov | i have HTC One X+ | 07:43 |
| sbward | for one, the OS itself will be free. canonical is still looking for manufacturers to market for-purchase devices with the OS installed i think. | 07:43 |
| arinov | maybe i can use mobile ubuntu on it | 07:43 |
| arinov | dell does not want to made phones on ubuntu? | 07:44 |
| sbward | eventually you may be able to install it to your HTC One X+, however the first demo was designed for a Samsung Galaxy Nexus only.... in the future many more phones will be supported better | 07:44 |
| sbward | i don't know about dell | 07:44 |
| arinov | SGN oriented OS... hmm | 07:45 |
| sbward | no, it's not SGN oriented. they're just using it as a reference platform during this VERY early development phase. | 07:45 |
| arinov | nice | 07:46 |
| arinov | before linux i use unix (MAC) and i want migrate from iStuffs to free software \ open source | 07:47 |
| arinov | is there any mailing lists to stay informed when it will be finish | 07:47 |
| arinov | i mean Uphone | 07:47 |
| sbward | you can follow the latest news from their website, or from blogs like webupd8 or omgubuntu! | 07:48 |
| sbward | glad to hear you're coming to FOSS :) | 07:48 |
| arinov | at home i completely on free\opensource | 07:49 |
| arinov | early i wanted openmoko | 07:49 |
| arinov | but project closed | 07:49 |
| arinov | and ubuntu devices i see very good point | 07:50 |
| arinov | to use every day | 07:50 |
| arinov | anyway thanks for answers | 07:50 |
| arinov | can i stay here to read others? | 07:50 |
| sbward | of course you can stay! stay for as long as you want | 07:51 |
| arinov | ok | 07:51 |
| sbward | most the people here aren't even at their computers, lol. they stay here indefinitely. | 07:51 |
| arinov | it is normal with IRC | 07:52 |
| sbward | yes indeed. | 07:52 |
| arinov | different time at all countries and job and wifes and children | 07:52 |
| sbward | i've been idling in like 30 channels for weeks, lol | 07:52 |
| sbward | i suppose so | 07:53 |
| arinov | and 50 causes why it happened | 07:53 |
| arinov | (c) | 07:53 |
| arinov | what you think about prise? | 07:55 |
| arinov | how much cost it will be? | 07:55 |
| arinov | 1k$? | 07:55 |
| arinov | 2k$? | 07:55 |
| sbward | the ubuntu OS will be free | 07:55 |
| arinov | price | 07:55 |
| arinov | i mean ubuntu phone | 07:55 |
| sbward | its up to manufacturers to decide how much they sell phones with ubuntu for, but i think 1k - 2k is too high. it will probably be much cheaper. | 07:56 |
| arinov | with ubuntu and support program | 07:56 |
| arinov | щл | 07:57 |
| arinov | ok | 07:57 |

| doomlord | is it going to be possible to write custom phone UI's like people write alternate window-managers for desktop linux | 14:02 |
| Andy80 | doomlord, using pure QML to build your widget? sure | 14:11 |
| doomlord | what i also have in mind is the whole look and feel of the phone UI | 14:12 |
| doomlord | eg if someone in the community wanted to make an exact iphone workalike... or make "expo" on the phone.. etc | 14:13 |
| doomlord | well thats the original question actually | 14:13 |
| doomlord | i dont mean phone UI for an app - i mean the whole experience - e.g. in linux I can grab source to an alternate window manager and change .. if i want tiled/tabbed windowing or whatever | 14:14 |
| doomlord | maybe thats more a thing for ubuntu on the nexus 7 | 14:15 |
| M4rtinK | this is actually a good question | 14:18 |
| M4rtinK | in most current mobile OSes this is not possible | 14:19 |
| M4rtinK | so if you don't like how the toplevel OS GUI works - bad luck | 14:19 |
| M4rtinK | an improvement to this unfortunate situation would be welcome :) | 14:20 |
| doomlord | i imagine when it comes to screen edges there will be many opinions ... linux solution is anyone can satisfy thhemselves with a fork | 14:24 |
| doomlord | like with unity vs gnome :) | 14:24 |
| doomlord | (personally i like unity) | 14:24 |
| doomlord | as it stands though i'll have way more reasons to use abuntu phone | 14:25 |
| doomlord | ^to use ubuntu phone rather than not | 14:26 |
