How to Install Ubuntu Touch Developer Preview on Nexus Devices
As many of you have been waiting, Canonical has now released the Ubuntu touch developer preview images for Nexus devices. Not all Nexus devices are supported, however. Only the Nexus 10, 7, 4, and GSM Galaxy Nexus are supported at the current time. Sorry CDMA Galaxy Nexus owners, do NOT try this. You must have a custom recovery to install this and follow the video below for install instructions. You may also install this if you have Ubuntu on your desktop, see here. To get back to Android, you can TRY and restore you Nandroid backup, but that may not work. I recommend watching my how to unroot videos found here. Any questions or comments, just leave a comment below.
