I have seen many people asking how to install it without dual booting, so I'll make things a bit easier...
You need Ubuntu on your PC!


Warning:
I'm not responsible for anything that might ever happen to your device, you must know what you are doing!

This is a beta port and it have bugs

It'll wipe all your data

STEPS:
1. Install the ubuntu-device-flash package
open terminal (ctrl+alt+t) and type:
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy universe multiverse"
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy-updates universe multiverse"
2. Add phablet tools PPAs (not needed for 14.04)
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:phablet-team/tools
3. Install the ubuntu-device-flash package
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-device-flash
4. Install phablet-tools package
sudo apt-get install phablet-tools
5. NOW BACKUP YOUR PHONE AND SAVE IT IN A SAFE PLACE
6. Reboot into bootloader
7. Unlock bootloader (if it's already unlocked just ignore)
sudo fastboot oem unlock
8. Reboot and then go back to bootloader
9. Installation, type in terminal
ubuntu-device-flash --channel="ubuntu-touch/devel-proposed" --bootstrap --server="http://system-image.tasemnice.eu"
10. Don't touch anything, it'll boot into a cwm-based recovery but it's still runing the script, wait until it completely boots into system

And thats it, enjoy!
FYI, I changed the script to install the most recent version

You can always change the channel in the script as your preference. Now, the last version is the Vivid Vervet, channel /vivid-proposed

Everything is on the link in the credits, the only known bugs are the bluetooth that doesn't work and power management. The g+ forum is here: https://plus.google.com/communities/...55463332672169
It works great (except bluetooth)

There used to be a third-party app called whosthere, but I think it's not supported anymore, considering that they're banning users for using third-party apps
