after first booting i could not phone or send sms but after rebooting it worked fine...

camera works (except filming), wifi doesnt work, adding contacts works and alltogether it works better than i thought for it being a developer preview!

Here are working links I posted earlier, the links on the first post all lead to the same file.

Does anyone know how to get to the settings?

I tried for hours to get in to settings :D
And i don't think here is the big settings, only pop up settings in the apps.

Calls, Sms- working, in and out too.
Volume button works.
Power button works.

Nexus S - GSM (Hungary)

Trying it out now, there seems to be a minor problem with two of the downloads having the same names(ubuntun), bit confusing

    Greets to the people here at XDA,

    I'm very well sure that you have already covered the news of Ubuntu for Phones going open source and the successors to Nexus S have already received the OS packed and ready to taste. But unfortunately, the Nexus S was left out of scene, quiet a disappointment, isn't it? So to cover this up, I've worked really hard and have been able to compile Ubuntu Phone OS for our EPIC Nexus S.


    About

    Ubuntu Touch is a mobile platform developed by Canonical Ltd. for smartphones and tablets. Ubuntu Phone aims to provide a similar user experience as the Ubuntu desktop edition. The OS was previewed on 2 January 2013 and it has been released as a Developer Preview in February 2013.
    Ubuntu Phone utilizes the same core technologies as the Ubuntu Desktop, so applications designed for the latter platform run on the former and vice versa. Additionally, Ubuntu Desktop components come with the Ubuntu Phone system; allowing Ubuntu phones to provide a full Ubuntu Desktop when connected to an external monitor.

    Very impressed!, I've decided to make a video on installing this, not that it's hard or anything but there's a lot of people who've been asking if installing Ubuntu touch on the Nexus is possible. Keep up the good work!.
