Do you ever plan on releasing the image of the Webtop version of UFA that you had running on the Atrix? As shown here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6eEDZva1W8

As I still own the Atrix I would love to be able to use that version as it had the "Mobile View" window that allowed you to run Android apps inside of Ubuntu.

Webtop also had hardware acceleration so will run better then the "Ubuntu For Android" launcher that you are working on now that uses LXC. The Webtop version also had browser sharing, so a web-page I was viewing on the device once docked would open the same web-page in Ubuntu.

And why aren't you releasing UFA? What's stopping you releasing UFA V2 as a CWM zip so people can install it onto rooted devices? I see you have it running on the S3 and Nexus 4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KU6xcvo5KC4

If you have it running on AOSP there isn't any licensing issues stopping you from releasing it.

Release the sources onto XDA and let the community port it to other devices.

I am just wondering. If the Ubuntu Edge is going to ship with Android (if they ever hit their crowdsourcing target). Whats the chances of them being able to get a license from Google as the device is dual booting with Ubuntu Touch?

I understand they could use AOSP. But would they ever be able to ship the device the Gapps? (Play Store, Google Maps, Google Now etc.)

When the Nook first came out they couldn't ship the device with the Play Store. They had to get a license from Google before they could.

The Kindle still to this day doesn't use Gapps as they haven't got a license from Google to do so.

Here's an excerpt from the WIKI:

"Even though the software is open-source, device manufacturers cannot use Google's Android trademark unless Google certifies that the device complies with their Compatibility Definition Document (CDD). Devices must also meet this definition to be eligible to license Google's closed-source applications, including Google Play."

Will we ever see a release for Ubuntu4Android? I know we will need to compile the kernel with LXC support so Ubuntu4Android will work, but there is a eager community that are willing to do the work needed to get Ubuntu4Android finished. And is there any chance of getting the Atrix2 Webtop images released? I know the Webtop images are old now but I do still own the Atrix and would love to be able to play around with the webtop images you developed.
