[no VNC] Ubuntu running on Android

This is Ubuntu running on top of Android with chroot, but WITHOUT VNC. This means, all hardware-inputs and -outputs are directly token from the kerneldrivers.

known Issues:
– no battery status, wificontrol, gps etc
– no hardware-graphics-driver (draws on androids framebuffer) (this also means: no working GnomeShell 🙁 )
– not able to rotate touchscreen-interface (when screen is in landscape-mode, mouse-axes are messed up)

You can find an ARM-Ubuntu-Image at http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.10/ ( ubuntu-12.10-desktop-armhf+omap4.img )

If you wonder how i took the video: captured /dev/graphics/fb0 with ffmpeg (This is the reason for the high CPU usage)

[EDIT]
Here you can find the scripts and a short explanation what they do: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/19005544/Ubuntu-running-on-Android/ubuntu-scripts.zip
