*This is for Toro (VZW Galaxy Nexus) right now, may be ported later.*
I will include a Gapps download below a little later!
It is Android for right now, but contains all the Ubuntu files necessary to create the Ubuntu filesystem and boot into it.
I need help though making this part happen.
So, as a fledgling developer with not a terribly large amount of ROMs produced and some issues with my currently released versions, I decided to go back to simplicity and mod a small version of SlimBean ROM, adding in the necessary Ubuntu files to create a composite OS, containing both Android and Ubuntu. I still haven’t figured out how to get into the Ubuntu file system, but if someone would like to help me on that, it would be appreciated!
Some things to note:
• Since it is based on SlimBean, many parts of the ROM are SlimBean parts, such as the wallpaper.
• The Settings app is also very similar to the SlimBean ROM.
• It is fairly stable and does fix the issue sometimes present on 4.2.1 where activating WiFi disengages the internet capability of the device, until you re-enable just cellular data.
• I have not tested it to the fullest extent; hence, it is still in Alpha stage. I would also welcome the help of anyone who wants to beta test, and post back to this thread any breakthroughs.
• I hope this works (crossing my fingers)!
• Download links and install instructions below.
*****
• Important: I accept no responsibility to harm to your device and others (people included) from the use of this ROM. I will not settle for your yelling and screaming about your bricked device. You have been warned!!!!
*****
Installation: (very similar to SlimBean procedure)
• Boot into CWM recovery
• MAKE A NANDORID BACKUP!!!!!!!!!
• Wipe Data/Factory Reset
• Wipe Cache
• Wipe /system in Mounts and Storage
• Install using install from sdcard command in Home Screen of Recovery
• If you want, install the Gapps you downloaded below and placed with ROM zip file.
• Reboot into your new ROM!!!!
Updates and Edits will be posted later.

EDIT: I am re-posting the rom in the way kicker22004 got it to work in a minute. I will post the updated url below. Also, I am prepared to release the other file, Quantal-UI, which when combined with the ROM, should allow dual-boot and/or side-by-side booting. Again, this will take some major hacking and feats of mastery to attain. kicker22004, If you do not mind, take the Quantal file and help me find a way to dual-boot. It seems like a thing where we need a custom kernel to dual-boot and affiliated files. I am also willing to open this up to other ideas and file changes, as long as I can repost up here in OP section, giving thanks though to the people who helped out.
