Announcing Ubuntu and Android dual boot developer preview

When I checked last time, you could ssh to the device and basically use apt-get like on any debian like system.

Not sure if anything is planned to be implemented to actually launch commands, but some people have already found a way to do it using C++ plugins [1].

The last thing to check would be if vlc is able to use the hardware :)

Of course, but that does not guarantee that the requested library/API will be present on the final phone or that you will be allowed to go on the market.

So, if we cannot access (or are forbidden access to) alsa/pulse, OpenGL or OMX, in the final device, this would be just useless work...

Woops, sorry, didn't realize you actually were a vlc developer. I read that like you just wanted to run it on your own device.

Don't worry, my post was not that clear. I am one of the main VLC dev and I've been porting or helping to port on most mobile OSes...
