Is a format of userdata done or is /data/media or /sdcard/ wiped in any way? The phablet zip writes to /data, right? And doesn't format it? Still waiting on the download.

Is there any plan from canonical to release final version for galaxy nexus ?

i'm little disappointed when they just release a "preview" version
and in my opinion
if they want to promote their OS before launching any pre-installed ubuntu phone
they need to release a fully functional OS for current supported phones
well at least people will know what is ubuntu phone not only from video

I love it. I had put it on and done a backup so I can put it back on to show it off.
Its (as an alpha) amazing. The flow and simplicity of it makes scenes to me. Swipe from all sides.

I done factory reset, dalvik and cash. Installed, booted and wait for more than 10 minutes. Still nothing, just black screen. And now TWRP couldn't find my restore files... :(

    You're so special that they've been waiting for you to ask before they'd post it.

    If Cannoncial didin't release this **** like this, me and countless others wouldn't talk **** to Ubuntu. They should have waited and made sure that basic things worked fine.

    Now they have to put up with all this whining and trash talking.

    Are you a developer?

    If no, then why are you whining? It was NEVER intended to be made for you.

    If yes, then what more do you need to make apps and familiarize yourself with the OS? I really doubt you'd need a calculator for developing apps.


    Now do you understand? It's actually an amazing DEVELOPERS PREVIEW. It was never a beta and it was never stated it was a beta.

    I don't know if this has been posted yet but there are now daily builds being released for Ubuntu Touch for Galaxy Nexus.

    Go here: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch-preview/daily-preinstalled/

    Then click on the 20130226 folder and you'll find bleeding edge nightlies (similar to how they're doing it with the Nexus 7 Ubuntu desktop build)..I assume it will be regularly updated every day or almost every day (albeit without any discernable changelogs)

    I installed the Feb 26 build and performance is much better than the initial build, and more "apps" are available (like amazon ubuntu one, which are really glorified links to the web sites)


    Edit: This OS is so beautiful and smooth, it makes Android look awkward in comparison.

    Notice it says Ubuntu DEVELOPER preview? Leave it to the pros. If people think it'll suffice as a daily driver, 100% functionality, they're in for a rude awakening. This forum has turned into nothing but a bunch of self-righteous, spoon fed, whiny, impatient brats. I want, what I want, and I want it NOW!
