Root Ubuntu for our phones?

Yep - everything in this gray box below was running on an Evo 3D -

I wanted to try to kinda explain the relationships because the whole thing seems to be confusing people.

In this diagram, your user interfaces into Ubuntu are through Android's Terminal Emulator or androidVNC (or equivalent-funtion apps that may or may not exist yet) - on the phone, that's strictly how it's done.

To view it from the outside world, you network in to the Ubuntu side and still interface with the vncserver.

In both places on the diagram, VM means Virtual Machine.


Hope it's somehow helpful.


In the lime/yellow box in the upper right where Ubuntu is running in the VM, picture in your mind another arrow from the vnc server coming out of the page, through your wifi, and then to your PC to see the PC access.



You can display your Ubuntu desktop on your phone or on your PC, but not both at once due to system limitations.

You can access Ubuntu and Android at the same time, the S3 processor in the Evo 3D/V has no trouble with that, it's a beast of a processor, don't let anyone tell you any different. ;)
