Hello everybody!

This is the development thread of Ubuntu Touch Developer Preview build for the Samsung Galaxy R (GT-I9103). It is in a pre-alpha, preview state.

For general discussion and Q&A: head to this thread.

Links:

• My unofficial core system build: http://d-h.st/k6c
• Official chroot tarball: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch/daily-preinstalled/current/saucy-preinstalled-touch-armhf.zip
• Afterflash: http://d-h.st/80N

Installation method:

• Push the downloaded files to your SD card
• Wipe data/Do a factory reset
• Install the core system
• Install chroot system
• Install afterflash
• Reboot

Every custom modification to devices have risks. Flash this at your own risk!

Have fun and enjoy!

Much later, when all of the core functions will be implemented. It isn't a preference yet. I'm focusing on stock JB right now. Just have fixed Bluetooth.
