I saw from Ubuntu's website that the mobile OS is capable of being installed onto Android smartphones. I have seen a few videos of people running the OS when it was in early beta stages, but nothing too recent. I was just hoping/wondering if anyone had a link/guide on how I could/if I could install Ubuntu Mobile OS onto a Samsung Galaxy S4 (T-Mobile carrier). Personally think this is an awesome concept and would take advantage of it in a heartbeat if I could do it without bricking my phone. Many thanks!
The S4 isn't supported at the moment. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices

Anyways check out this link for issues with the ROM : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices/i9505 which ultimately links to http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2564187 For any specific steps regarding flashing I9505 to your carrier check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2295557
Sorry to tell you guys, but it actually is. Not official, not working, WIP (Work-In-Progress), but still, there is.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2564187
