As many of you must know, Ubuntu has been officially released today, and now i was wondering how can i flash it on my Gnex with TWRP? Anyone knows? I really want make a test drive.
You have everything you need here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Install
It doesn't work with lte as far as I can tell, which makes me sad.

It's smooth, everything works pretty well, but it isn't usable as daily driver
is a bit complicated,why they didnt provide any zip file which they did for nexus 4
For God Sake someone read what he asks!

His question was literally answered in the first post. But for anyone with an aversion to links, you can't flash it with TWRP.

So does this mean I can just backup my current ROM, wipe and then flash all zips except for the recovery and then I have Ubuntu? Can I go back to my current ROM with TWRP exclusively?
I'm a bit worried about, like, everything.
Sure, no problem.
Just be sure to get rid of /data/ubuntu before your next nandroid. On my device I always fail to restore when it's in.

make sure you do wipes before install. Reboot and you are good to go. Tried that last night but wasn't impressed!

I'm really interested on Ubuntu Touch, anyone with more comments about this last update? Is working well for daily use or just for test purpose ?
Thanks

Waiting for daily use release to make a decision with native app. I think this is one of the biggest flaws of android
is it ok (not affect anything) to not install the boot, recovery, and system img file?
Just install with your recovery like itasoulas say :good:

So I thought myself fairly competent with roms and such as this is my third smartphone and i've never had that many big errors before.
I used the universal root method and FreeGee and used stock with root for a few weeks, was good. Today I downloaded the CM 10.1 unofficial rom and the gapps and did a TWRP backup. I tried to copy it from my phone to my PC and USB HD using both Linux and Windows. Whenever it got to the data part it would error, I couldn't even rename it. As far as I know, this backup may be no good. I did this backup three full times, eventually using just boot, system and data.
I wiped data, system, cache and dalvik. I installed the CM10.1 rom and tried to boot. sticks on the LG boot screen. I can get into the recovery, tried to do the restore, said successful. Still sticks on the boot screen for LG.
Did I miss some step? At this point I'd be glad going back to stock.

I'm not sure where that is. Can you provide a link? Also I can get into Recovery/twrp. I am frustrated that CM won't install for me. I checked my TWRP backup folder, there is just data and system, and I need boot to restore that, right? So frustrated that the backup is bunk and CM won't install properly. I can't find any clear instructions on the process anywhere on the forums. Just wipe, install CM and then boot, right?

If I understand correctly this would be useful if you add this as secondary ROM and use it with keyboard mouse and monitor like normal OS.

Hello, does nobody have a working Phoenix OS? Just make a TWRP backup and upload it. It will help everyone without a working USB port.
I would do it but it takes me 24 hours to download
I'm trying to download it. But it is downloading at 6kb/sec. Says it will take 19 hours. But constantly fails. I wish someone mirrored it. I am curious anyone else who downloaded, was it slow for you?

It was slow for me for a few hours. Then all of us sudden as I reached about 35%, the speed boosted to 2MB/s and it just finished downloading. Now I gotta upload a twrp backup right? I'm not sure how though

Yeah I got it slowly using 'wget' which does resume downloads. But I tried the x86/PC not arm/flo. The OS is not open-sourced and the English version still has components in Chinese. I prefer the original http://www.android-x86.org/ for PCs.

After installing the ROM, go to TWRP. Select backup, and choose system, boot and data. The backup file will be located at TWRP/BACKUPS. Upload this file. Don't hesitate to ask if you have any doubt.

But you could dual boot the way I did. First I install Phoenix. Then I install multirom. Then I install Pure Nexus as secondary ROM. The problem is, if I upload backup, I signed up with Google and other accounts on it
Just don't select data while backing up
