    Ubuntu touch 13.10 and Ubuntu 12.04LTS on Nexus7 2013 23GB wifi

    Does anyone know if Ubuntu touch 13.10 and Ubuntu 12.04LTS will work on a Nexus7 2013 23GB wifi?
    Ubuntu published only a procedure for the old Nexus7.

    The Nexus 7 2013 has a different CPU to the Nexus 7 2012. It is a Snapdragon instead of an ARM Cortext. The official Ubuntu Touch is being developed for the Cortext CPU. Therefore I doubt if the official image will run on the Nexus 7 2013. You will need to wait until someone decides to port Ubuntu Touch to the Snapdragon. May be someone is already trying this but it is not listed under the Nexus 7 label. May be it is a different version of the Snapdragon that the porting is being done to.

    I have just watched a video that demonstrates how to install Ubuntu Touch to a Nexus 7 and it has 2013 as part of the video title but I think that is just the year of the video not the year of the Nexus 7.

    Regards.
    It is a machine. It is more stupid than we are. It will not stop us from doing stupid things.
