I've attempted a port of the Ubuntu Touch smartphone/tablet operating system to my Galaxy Note i717 (quincyatt). The current state is unusable and doesn't boot to a desktop at all, but the text-mode virtual terminal does work and a USB connected keyboard can enter and run commands. If anyone has any input on where to go from here, I'd love to hear your input. The XDA Developers thread for the port is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2168987 I'm also hoping to get a desktop distro capable kernel ported so I can run Ubuntu or Debian off the external SD card and dual-boot against Android. Since it's no longer my primary phone and I don't really need another Android device, a portable Ubuntu PC that only uses a few watts of power would be great and it's Qualcomm-based so it should be able to use the Freedreno GPU driver.
