Sweet, thank you for your help. My main issue so far has been finding guides or videos detailing how to flash a ROM onto your phone almost invariably start with "Great, now that your phone is rooted...

I don't know how to downgrade, but thank you for your patience so far.




So, is there a guide somewhere for that? I currently have Heimdall and Heimdall-frontend installed, but from there is...

Yes.



Interesting, so you can install a custom kernel w/o having to root it? I have already have Heimdall installed so this development could be helpful. Thanks

Well, I did, and found this:

I've spent all morning trying to find clear instructions for rooting an original Galaxy S on Ubuntu, with no luck so far.

So I come to you, Ubuntu Forums, to help guide me toward the bliss of...

Probably for the best. How often does Apple mention BSD? :popcorn:

Eh, I like Unity. It does pretty much everything I need it to do and give Ubuntu its own character.

My first experience with Ubuntu was 8.10 and I liked it, but I did everything I could to make...

Good for you. EA signing on to release games for Ubuntu would be a HUGE boost for Canonical, Ubuntu, and Linux.

Yes, and bolting Unity onto Gnome 2.x was an awful idea. They should have just polished it a bit longer and premiered it in 11.10, but it is what it is.

I dont think Unity represents a failure...

Canonical has never been one for first impressions.

People will bitch about anything.

Did I cover everyone?

I approve of this thread.

1. They want there to be a 'big 3' not a 'big 2'. Canonical wants to be a player.

2. Though you say it is 'not the responsibility of Ubuntu', you may be right in the technical sense, but that...

It's going to be optional at first. Perhaps for the next few iterations of Ubuntu, but Mark wishes to do away with traditional menus.

His only obstacle really, is discoverability and the option...

I think what's happening here is that for years, Linux basically emulated the looks of 90s era Windows desktops, because that's what people knew and were used to working with.

HUD is in addition to menus. Although, I've seen speculation that if HUD takes off, menus could theoretically be phased out.

"The desktop remains central to our everyday work and play, despite all the excitement around tablets, TV’s and phones. So it’s exciting for us to innovate in the desktop too, especially when we find...

I think that is a valuable resource for Canonical, but they should not solely rely upon it.

Obviously I would want these things as long as they worked. You make a good point though, and considering that we're talking about Ubuntu, we'd probably have to work through 4 or 5 releases until...

I don't understand your argument against giving the desktop a more modern feel. Windows 7 and OSX offer this feature.

No, you missed the boat. Windows 7 is pretty solid and arguably more customizable than Ubuntu(Unity), currently. It's the first time I've used Windows and not had to throw a fit. This is coming from...

I've got my eyes on a Subaru Impreza WRX. I'd love a WRX Sti, but I'm pretty sure the bump in my insurance would be too much for my lady to tolerate :P

I understand that Mint can get away with it for various reasons, but why can't Canonical pony up the change to have it included in their own installs?

I'm looking for the reason they don't do...

Pardon me for asking, and if this has already been gone over a thousand times, I'm sure a kindly moderator will come along and sweep us into the proper sub-forum...
