[RELEASE][WIP] Ubuntu touch port

Hi everyone,
I want to share with you my port of Ubuntu touch for Nexus S.

For now it's a uncomplete port, most things doesn't work or doesn't work properly.

What works:

• Graphics acceleration
• Backlight control
• Calls (but no audio) and SMS

What doesn't work:

• Camera
• Wifi
• Audio (no sounds at all)
• Other things maybe

The ubuntu image is more like a demo than a preview, most of the apps installed won't work, but it's cool

How to install it:
Download the ubuntu image and the base system from this post
Unpack ubuntu.zip and move the 'ubuntu' folder into the root of sd card
Flash base-system-R(release number).zip with your recovery
At the beginning it may be a bit slow, but later the system will work smoothly

Downloads:

Ubuntu Image -> h**p://www.4shared.com/zip/rPKJTNZi/ubuntu.html

Base System:

R2 (Backlight control fix): h**p://www.4shared.com/zip/mmoso7ob/base-system-R2.html

What works:

• Graphics acceleration
• Wifi
• Calls (but no audio) and SMS

What doesn't work:

• Camera
• Audio (no sounds at all)
• Almost everything xD

The ubuntu image is more like a demo than a preview, most of the apps installed won't work, but it's cool

How to install it:
Download the zip from this post
Unpack it: you'll find 2 zips:

1. ubuntu.zip -> Contains the Ubuntu touch image
2. ubuntu-crespo-flash.zip -> Contains the base system

Unpack ubuntu.zip and move the 'ubuntu' folder into the root of sd card
Flash ubuntu-crespo-flash.zip with your recovery
At the beginning it may be a bit slow, but later it'll work smoothly

Download:
R1 -> https://dl.dropbox.com/u/9686412/ubu...sca09-port.zip
(I can't post links for now, so you have to complete the link )

maybe this will make it clickable by quoting it

going to download and try on my ns4g just to see how it works. I don't use my ns4g as my main phone anymore

I don't have used the CM sources: I've adapted the Galaxy Nexus image in order to run on Nexus S
