I followed the those steps:
1. Put both file on external sd card
2. in TWRP in wipe I factory reset + system + data + cache + dalvik
3, I install the cyanogen file.
4. I install the ubuntu file
5. Reboots.

I get a black screen. No sound nothing. I have been waiting for about 10-15 minutes.

Have you tried pushing your home or power button to wake it up? I thought mine wasn't working till I pressed the home button and the lock screen appeared.

It seems work on Ubuntu Touch is accelerating.
This is last weeks Changelog :

- Transition to Qt 5.0.1 complete. All apps and sdk have now been
cutover to use this latest version of Qt and packages in the ppa's have
been updated.

- New release of ubuntu-ui-toolkit landed (0.1.39~quantal1) with many
new features and bug fixes

- Work nearly finished on transition to Raring. Most packages have been
updated/rebased for Raring and uploaded to ppa. Expect a fresh Ubuntu
Touch Raring build soon!

- camera-app was simplified by Renato Filho to use the Screen component
for device rotation rather than the Sensors API. This fixed an issue
with the control layouts in landscape orientation.

- gallery-app updated by Guether Schwann
-- added support for max texture size to display photos in the highest
resolution supported by the given hardware.
-- fix for crash when opening a photo from the album view
-- enabling of pinch to zoom
-- using updated header and toolbar components from the newly released
SDK.
-- added toolbar in photos view
-- implement add, delete and start camera functionality
- gallery-app had a variety of packaging updates done by Michael Terry

- maliit-framework/plugins (osk) updated by Thomas Moenicke
-- merged with latest upstream maliit 0.94
-- maliit-keyboard UI now QML based
-- initial support added for both maliit-keyboard and nemo-keyboard
switchable by configuration. nemo is still the default until
maliit-keyboard is fully operational.

- notes-app updated by Ugo Riboni
-- Some code refactoring based on reviews
-- Update text size in the toolbar
-- Added animations to all transitions
-- Updated to work with new SDK and Qt 5.0.1

- phone-app updated by Gustavo Boiko
-- Use the updated SDK headers and toolbar components in DetailViews
-- Optimize some list delegates by using a simpler version of them and
change the tab pages to be loaded asynchronously.
-- Fixed crash during the contact search using ContactsSearchCombo by
Renato Filho
-- Fix bug with sending text with empty string
-- Fixed issue with "remove" button being too close to the edge in
Contacts Detail editing view.
-- updated unit tests to avoid potential race conditions
- phone-app packaging updated by Michael Terry

- share-app runtime dependencies updated by Olivier Tilloy to work
correctly with Qt 5.0.1 and latest SDK.

- webbrowser-app updated by Olivier Tilloy
-- Problem with progressive loading of pages identified as a regression
with qtwebkit as it's fixed in qtwebkit trunk. Work in progress to
cherry pick the fixes into 5.0.1 version.
-- Allow running with stock QtWebKit as found in Ubuntu.
-- Initial support for "smarter" address bar. Added states and updated
assets.
-- Add support for <select> dropdowns.
-- Work around the lack of support for handling hyperlinks with a
target attribute set to '_blank' in QtWebKit.
-- Allow faster scrolling, by making the maximum flick velocity of
the webview proportional to its height.

Too bad none of our devs are tacking an interest in the os. Maybe as it gets closer to maturity.

Currently I'm trying to run Ubuntu Touch Developer Preview on my Note II
So far Ubuntu touch based on cm-10.1 it is quite simple to port to any device supported by cm.

For beginning there are some useful guides:

And here we go:

First of all prepare the Build Environment
Code: 
sudo apt-get install git gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential \
  zip bzr curl libc6-dev libncurses5-dev:i386 x11proto-core-dev \
  libx11-dev:i386 libreadline6-dev:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 \
  libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib mingw32 tofrodos \
  python-markdown libxml2-utils xsltproc zlib1g-dev:i386 schedtool
Install phablet-tools
Code: 
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:phablet-team/tools
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install phablet-tools
To get the source code do bootstrap, it takes a looooong time and need about 15 GB of disk space
Code: 
phablet-dev-bootstrap -j 4 ubuntu-touch
Code: 
cd ubuntu-touch
Now we need to grab the n7100 specific git repositories.
In general we use CyanogenMode repositories with some changes made for ubuntu phone
For the moment I'm not sure whether it is all changes what we need, therefore I have fork them on git hub,
so just create a new file .repo/local_manifest.xml with content:
Code: 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
  <project name="drapalyuk/android_device_samsung_n7100" path="device/samsung/n7100" remote="github" revision="phablet-10.1" />
  <project name="drapalyuk/android_device_samsung_smdk4412-common" path="device/samsung/smdk4412-common" remote="github" revision="phablet-10.1" />
  <project name="drapalyuk/android_kernel_samsung_smdk4412" path="kernel/samsung/smdk4412" remote="github" revision="phablet-10.1" />
  <project name="drapalyuk/android_hardware_samsung" path="hardware/samsung" remote="github" revision="phablet-10.1" />
</manifest>
Code: 
repo sync -j4
Extract proprietary blobs, expected you have all ready installed CM-10 on your phone, if not Install CM for n7100
Code: 
cd device/samsung/n7100
./extract-files.sh
If you want to speed up subsequent builds after this one
Turn on caching
Code: 
export USE_CCACHE=1
Start the build
Code: 
. build/envsetup.sh
brunch n7100
After successfully build N7100 zip installer will be placed into out/target/product/n7100/cm-10.1-<date>-UNOFFICIAL-n7100.zip

Installation instructions:

DISCLAIMER: this is development preview do not install if you don't know exactly what you are doing
