** Work-In-Progress: Touch Preview is just that.. a PREVIEW. Do not complain about missing features, etc. The OS isn't nearly ready for primetime. **

Curious as to how the Ubuntu Touch Preview looks? Why not load it on your Motorola Razr and see for yourself.

Instructions:

1. Make a Titanium Backup and/or backup in of your current Android or just keep it in another RomSlot. This preview is fun to play with but not a replacement for something as developed as CM 10.1

2. Download the Motorola Razr Mini-Android base for Ubuntu Touch and place it on your device:
[03/01] (use the newest one)

3. Download the latest Ubuntu Touch Preview Filesystem . from Ubuntu:

If the above link is broken, use this link for a full listing of the current build (download the quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip .. soon to be raring-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip):

4. Reboot into Safestrap. Create a NEW ROM in the #4 slot with the 2GB data option (important as it will not work with 1GB data partition option).

IMPORTANT:
4a. Install the quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip FIRST, and then the phablet-2013xxxx.zip SECOND.

5. Reboot and Enjoy

FIRST BOOT TAKES A LONG TIME. AND THERE'S NO BOOT ANIMATION. BE PATIENT (MAYBE 3-4 MINUTES).

WHAT WORKS:
  • Display
  • Touch
  • Wifi
  • Sound
  • Phone calls
  • SMS
WHAT DOESN'T WORK:

There's so much that is still being implemented into the Touch version of Ubuntu, that this list could get pretty long.
  • Cellular data -Ubuntu WIP
  • Barely any sensors other than touchscreen work. IE: no rotation, etc. Ubuntu WIP issue.
  • No HD codecs (still being worked on) Ubuntu WIP issue.
  • No screen timeout / auto blank -- be careful when walking away from the device. Need to press the power button to turn the screen off. Ubuntu WIP issue.

I always wonder, if I unlock the bootloader, is it possible that I don't need a safestrap to install the zip file?

Unless you have the XT910 Developer edition I don't believe there is an unlock available.

Hey, I don't know what am I doing wrong, but I can't get it to boot too.

I've done all the steps: Create slot 4 with 2GB, install quantal and then phablet, and rebooted.

I left my phone all night long trying to boot, and nothing... Tried rebooting, but nothing aswell


I'm on a LATAM XT910 in ICS Kernel

To all those having trouble getting this to boot. After flashing quantal... I flashed the...ota.eng... file from Hascode's phablet folder on goo. Then it booted fine. In fact it only took about minute.. def want to see a full blown version
