Cool! Booted it up and it seemed to run well! Pretty slick considering how young it is. It's obviously got a little ways to go with some additional polish, but this is a project I will certainly keep an eye on.
(edit: I'm referring to the Ubuntu touch project. Your work is great!! )
It's amazing how reliant I realized I am on not only my smartphone, but the specific apps I use. Trying out a custom rom is one thing buy a whole new os is a big step!

I get confused by all the variants.... This is made using a mako device tree converted to 973 with SD support. So the Canadian and at&t will work 8mp camera/SD card. If you normally can flash a Canadian or at&t ROM then this should work. Next chance I have to sit down in front of my computer I'll try to make a version for all That can't boot this.
E975ers try it and Let me know....
*Edit* just tried installing it flashed the geeb and then the Ubuntu file, and it was booting, it just stayed black because of the none existing boot animation, but it didn't get into the phone, I tried letting it boot for 30 minutes nothing happens. Tried the older geeb file that's in the same dropbox folder, same thing happens

Most likely because I'm using a different vendor repo than the 975 needs... I'll look at changing thing later
man, the 4th zip file working for me (e975)i installed with your recovery instroduction thank you so much. but last one i think it was 14th not not booting, just black screen its interesting that with your 4th zip file the ubuntu touch recognize my phone as optimus g. i thought its shown as Nexus 4. So i thougt ubuntu maybe can support us as offically but its not. it tryed update with ubuntu touch software and nothing happened. and man did you see that http://youtu.be/MaVAMGv3tI4 there is a port sailfish os on nexus 4 it is look nice too
Got it to boot, only problems for me is that it doesn't detect my sim card(it does on every other ROM), everytime I reboot I have to retype the code for wi-fi, it has a lot of freezes

The Ubuntu-geeb010814.zip needs to be flashed first, then the trusty-preinstalled zip. Both are in the same Geeb Zip link in the OP
The first is the android component, the second is the ubuntu file system/ui
With work and home I still havn't gotten around to fixing whatever broke and stopped us booting the nightlies, so we'll still have to make due with the older version for now.
Thanks! Got it to run ^__^ but found out that its still pretty far from being my daily driver ROM
Will keep on eye its development!
Yeah, not a daily driver my any means yet...still glitchy and lacking some key functions, like alarms.... It's actually a little further along than what we have currently because we're not using the nightly Ubuntu builds right now. The current nightly Ubuntu build is over 50mb larger than the one we need to flash right now, so that's really quite a few changes that would have been made.
Again i'll try to get to it as soon as i can, though i can't commit to a date to have it booting with the current nightlies again.
Still the problem with e975 not detecting sim card, and forgets wi-fi code everytime it reboots. Atleast for me

WiFi code is on the Ubuntu side, I believe....., e975 is a vendor file thing I think.... Just haven't gotten to that. Real life has me tied up lately
Unfortunately haven't had a chance to get back to it. But I'm finally free this weekend... So if all goes well we'll be back on track
That is to say I haven't abandoned this... Just lacking time..

14Better explaination of Ubuntu OS and how it relates to us.
Ubuntu OS currently run on top of an Android "shell". The android layer contains the boot.img(kernel/ramdisk), initd, vendor specific drivers etc.. This is what first boots then the ubuntu file system is loaded within this Android "shell". This is why we need flash two zips to have it working(Android and Ubuntu). Ubuntu uses CM10.1 repos for the Android shell portion of the OS. This still works for us as we had official cm 10.1, though development wasn't long lived before moving to 10.2.
There is an AOSP 4.4.2 branch Ubuntu is working on to maybe replace the CM based Android component, but it is currently less stable than the CM based. Hopefully the AOSP branch becomes more stable in the near future as the development for our device is active there.

Don't Forget to hit the Thanks!5
I will do that soon, I promise.
Good news is, I'm back to booting again. I'll fix it up a bit and put out a zip either later tonight or tomorrow.
At first glance, it's alot more snappy and screen rotation is working nicely. havn't played too much, as i need to make some changes to get network and such working properly. only wifi right now.. but i expected that.... anyways i'll have it up with network data and all soon..
New Build Is Up!!4
Ok, I'm currently building my first try at e975. I'll post it here when it is done. I do not guarantee it will work, I made changes to the kernel config based on differences between e970 and e975 from cyanogen. made some changes to the device repo also, just not sure what changes need to be made so not sure if i got them all.
if it doesn't boot i'll try again, see what else i can find.
*I cant test this myself, I think it is safe but I've never built for e975.*
Give this a try, let me know how it goes.4
Its not for sprint yet.....I'll work on that this weekend hopefully.
The geeb.zip is needed because of how Ubuntu touch works. Its currently using a mako device tree that has been converted to flash on my e973, the at&t is pretty much the exact same which is why it works for them.
First you flash a cm10.1 based Ubuntu tweaked android sysyem-- geeb.zip
Second is the Ubuntu rootfs that goes atop the android base-- Ubuntu zip3
I don't know if this thread is helpful for you, or maybe you've alreay seen it:

i tried it and it booted successful on my geehrc. Wifi worked, also keyboard and i could add an account too. Phone/SMS didn't work due no signal. The keyboard had also one severe bug: In the terminal the enter key didn't work.
It's worth a try, you can easily remove it, you just have to reflash your recovery ( in my case TWRP ).
