Hey fancsali, I have seen the situation of images, but no code before with the Nexus 7 deb.

I guess it would be best if you start from the porting guide: https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/phone/devices/porting-new-device/ . It should be somewhat easier to get anywhere since you're not starting from scratch completely, but the old canonical branches.

Chances are, the only way to answer the question about deal-breaker issues, is for you to try and find it out. Anyway, even if there is a deal-breaker, I'd say it is a contribution to learn how to build it, maybe get it into the ubports repository for others to build on in the future, or at least document it here. And who knows, maybe you can use the lessons learned some time on another device.

I'm at the same point with the deb, where there are some images around, but no code in the ubports repository (unless it has changed in the last months). It's on my list to try to build it myself but it keeps dropping to the bottom of my list 🙂 ... one of these days.

Good luck!

Hello again and sorry for my long absence to the forum. I've had a hdd crash and my linux os (secondary on the laptop) disappeared, so I was unable to read any messages.
I didn't figured out any new steps to make Ubuntu Touch working on my Nexus 10. It looks like there is some part missing in all the tutorials . I will reanimate my Ubuntu biulding environment to come back to the topic and will share my progress.

The dualboot part is working as far as i can see. The problem is the image for nexus 10. it is broken, and even though it still churns out versions, it just does not get fixed. Somehow nobody wants to try and fix this. Fine, maybe it's just too broken to bother, but then at least be honest and remove that 90% functionality from the website.

At least you gave a means to dualboot a device with an ubports image, which is something. Thanks for your effort.

Yougo

Sorry for bumping this thread, but has anyone gotten this working yet?
i'm still getting the "This phone needs restoring from a PC...." message.

it's really frustrating to see Nexus 10 listed as 80% operable, but installation is stuck for almost half a year now...

if somone knows how, please help out here.
