  • my mobile OS ERASED. how to My 2nd mobile to connect OTG Install OS

  • can it be run on samsung galaxy s2 (GTI 9100 ) ?

  • So clear!
    That worked for me. Many thanks !!!
    I think people that can't install uBuntu following your steps can't be developer's or real geek !!!

  • Very bad and short and not clear[how-to] video .. e.g where is the links!??

  • Wow, you guys saved me. tutorial was fast, but just what I needed. Thank you. 🙂

  • Please , tell me that name of the hat your wearing in this video

  • What if i want to change back to android? Is that possible?

  • Is it possible to do the same thing via TWRP itself? It's a flashable .zip I guess.

  • it's not pronounced ''ubantu'' it's pronounced ''ubountu''

  • You should change the name from tutotial to summary or better yet: Ubuntu on phone explained in 3 minutes.

  • The ASUS is more expensive than the Apple in the US? Oh, damn the prices are very different. I personally hate the Windows 8 UI, so I use startisback on my Laptop.

  • ASUS UX32VD perhaps, although they're Haswell model isn't out yet.

  • i know a gibberish hobo on smack that makes more sense than you

  • i like. but you need to slow down. im a first time user of my nexus. i like this and i want to do it please help

  • Can i install the preview on my htc one x+ or is it nexus only for now? I already rooted my phone and i installed the clock work recovery instead of TWRP. Is it possible to install the ubuntu preview as a bootcamp, so that i can choose what i want to boot when i turn on my device. I don`t really want to vipe android just for playing around with a not yet completed ubuntu.

  • Haha a Mac using an Ubuntu webiste now that's funny

  • if you manage to root your device then the rest is easy

  • Yeah obviusly I did all that without stopping the video #f_ckthis

  • Jeeeez Talk slower and cant understand and cant even catch up to you, make a tutorial for starters not for experienced users like yourself. you have to understand that there is people who are new to this and you gotta talk slower and explain everything

  • Bigger fan of TWRP myself, but yeah looking at xda forums will help if you are a noob to roms.

  • this is no tutorial, too fast and too limited. i need a real installation process.

  • Go to xda if you want to do any of the tings he said. I find clockworkmod as a better recovery menu.

  • i wish all this stuff could be much easier… i really hate how i have to open 70 different things.

  • Does it work on a PC running Windows? Not enough storage on my Mac.

  • since ill be doing a nandroid backup from twrp, can I just restore that backup once im done playing with Ubuntu (instead of downloading and flashing the factory Android)?

  • can any body tell me that is apk file is able to run by ubuntu.or which file format will it run
