There’s new version with lots more files to flash with? Can give a new instruction? http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch-preview/daily-preinstalled/20130421/

Was it a really long boot for anyone? flashed on my N7 but after trying to boot it has been sitting with the backlight on and a blank screen for almost 5 minutes.

Didn’t Blur ship on the Milestone though?

So rather than be specific you’d rather be wrong?

Well, I suppose that’s your choice.

(FYI: AS Stephen pointed out, I was incorrect anyway. There have apparently been a very few devices released without locked bootloaders. Amusingly…none of them Nexus.)

Why does DroidLife never link to the source? I see a link like “Ubuntu Touch” I expect it to go to….UBUNTU TOUCH, not to a tag cloud of nonsense on the site I’m already on. Just saying. I just read this article, but now I have to google for “ubuntu touch” to get more information, rather than just clicking a link here.

Sure, but that’s like saying cars don’t come unlocked when you buy them.

Difference is, with a nexus, you have a key. With the rest of the fleet you have a brick.

Poor OG, was a perfect specimen, how did blur spawn from it? And after several Generations of bad stock it will bring us a new king, the X. Kind of like star wars Annikan to darth vadar and the empire ruled and now it’s spawn shall bring peace to the Android universe. Yeah that was stretching it. Just listened to a Mark Hamill interview today.

Installed it on my Galaxy Nexus and while it does look good, it’s barely usable. I was able to receive calls and text messages (headset doesn’t work), and the camera and wifi work fine. Not an every day rom to use just yet.

they hype is having desktop like computing on a mobile. i had been hoping for this since before OSX was abandoned for ios on that pad-paper weight. android has been the only real contender and option for versatility/openness on a mobile platform. with android and ubuntu playing nice together and possible dual boot scenarios and quick desktop replacements by using a simple hub running alongside android, this is a big step. now to pray for powerlaces and mattel hoverboards by 2015.

Swipe from most right of the screen to the left to unlock.
