Hi

I've got a Samsung Galaxy Nexus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galaxy_Nexus) that I would love to install Ubuntu Phone OS on. Is that possible? I see (http://developer.ubuntu.com/en/start/ubuntu-for-devices/devices/) that it is no longer actively developed and are not supported as ongoing targets for Ubuntu development. Does this mean that I cannot get the latest build?

I seriously hope someone will prove me wrong, but this (http://developer.ubuntu.com/en/start/ubuntu-for-devices/installing-ubuntu-for-devices/)the easiest way to install the phone OS? I was hoping for a click-and-flash tool.


Best

Dream on! That link to developer.ubuntu.com is up to date. What was originally called Ubuntu Touch has been called Ubuntu for Devices for a while now and that web page reflects the name change. The editing of the web page is fairly recent.

If your device is one of the three listed at the top of this page, then you can proceed. But heed the warnings.

That's really sad and not very encouraging for people that want to test the OS :(
