This is an experimental port, MAKE A BACKUP of your files before you continue.
I am not responsible if you brick your device, but I will try to help you if things go wrong.
Introduction

NOTE: Ubuntu Touch itself is still under heavy development and I cannot list all the flaws it has, since that is daily changing.
Please be aware that applications may not work as expected but the scope of this project is only the porting, not the actual operating system!
FAQ
* How to go back to stock?
Reboot into recovery. Wipe data/factory reset. Restore your backup. Reboot into flashmode and flash (with FlashTool) the kernel (kernel.sin only) from your .tft file (without wiping anything). Reboot.
* Installation stuck on "unpacking rootfs tarball to system-image ..."
Free up some space on the device.
