Changelog​

Remember Ubuntu is already in pre-alpha build....

• Alpha 2
  Fixed boot without adb.
• Alpha 1
  Initial release.

How to build​

Pre-requirements:

• A linux machine with about 20gb of free storage
• Ability to read

Follow The Official Ubuntu Touch Porting Guide it's updated sometimes...

Then we have to patch /build/main.mk :
Add "external/wpasupplicant_8_ti \" to build without wpa libs errors.
Also we have to add our vendor path : "vendor/htc \"
And this in alphabetical order...
You have also to check building rules...
Enjoy

It's a developer preview, most of the stuff is broken. Not even nearly a daily driver.

Allright that's great!! I'm curious, it would be nice if dual boot is possible. But it's a great start

Unfortunately no dual boot without S-OFF.
