comment Run Ubuntu from SD Card on Android Tablet
@mikethedj4 the thing is though android doesn't really have a concept of "boot from thumbdrive" the same way that normal PCs do. You'd likely have to heavily modify the android system to allow for that. Then after that you'd have to probably have an ubuntu thumbdrive that was meant specifically for running on an android device as opposed to whatever you have now which is probably meant for PCs. I'm afraid you are probably wading into un-explored territory here, so you are going to have to do a lot of the legwork yourself.

comment Run Ubuntu from SD Card on Android Tablet
I imagine what you want to do might be possible in theory. But it is going to FAR from a "plug in and go type concept". You will likely have a lot of very extensive work on your hands to even get this almost working

comment Unable to use Samsung Galaxy Y because of constant “Application has stopped Unexpectedly” messages
The app is supposed to cost money. You downloaded a free version that likely contained some sort of malware which is having adverse effects on your device. I would suggest trying to uninstall that application (and any others that you've gotten from untrustworthy sources) Are you able to get to the settings of your device? if so uninstall them from their. If not and you had debug mode turned on you could uninstall them adb. If you didn't however your only option may be to reset your device.

what was the last thing you did with your device before this started happening?

what was the last thing that happened on the device before this started? Did you install any apps? try to root it? try to install a rom?

comment Why does the new Chrome update want the permission to use my camera and audio recording?
right but at that point then it is also no longer a Google App, because it is Sony app, or Samsung app.

I don't really count the stock camera as a "Google app" since it is included in the AOSP and I can verify (by looking at its source) that it isn't doing anything malicious, unlike the rest of these google apps. Anywhoo thanks for the great answer =).

comment Is there a simple way to undo an app update?
"can manage to find" was open ended. If you have the version you want on another device you should be good to go. If you're rooted just copy it out of /data/app/ if not use My Backup Pro or some other app to pull a backup copy to the SD card and then copy it from there.

comment Wi-Fi won't stay off
My guess is that your carrier has installed some sort of "connection optimizer" onto your device with the most recent update. Which actually just means that it will use wifi when it is available because that will result in less overall traffic on their 3g/4g network. On sprint device you can go to Settings->wireless & networks->more...->-mobile networks->connection optimizer to enable / disable this. try poking around your wireless settings to see if you have something like this.
