WARNING : This ROM is a "Work In Progress" : this ROM is experimental, Only tested in xt1021 ,flash it only if you know what you are doing

Downloads
Ubuntu Touch Condor 20-01-2016.tar.xz

How to install
Do not forget to do a NANDROID backup before flashing anything.
You need to use Ubuntu AND a Motorola Moto E (2014) Unlocked
That's only flashable on Ubuntu/Linux because the rootstock software (flashing tool) doesn't exist on Windows OS

Flash on you device,
1. Extract Ubuntu Touch Condor 20-01-2016.tar.xz to a some folder
2. Reboot the device into fastboot mode
3. Flash boot.img and recovery.img using fastboot
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
4. Boot the device back to recovery
5. Wait until adb has started (use "adb devices" to check if it has started)
6. Wipe Data partition with adb shell (recovery dont have option to wipe)
Code:
adb shell
$ mount data
$ cd data 
$ rm -rf *
$ exit
7. Flash ubuntu root system and system.img using rootstock installer
Code:
./rootstock-touch-install vivid-preinstalled-touch-armhf.tar.gz system.img --custom device_condor.tar.xz
8. After that it may boot ubuntu.

"adding android system image to installation ... simg2img: error while loading shared libraries: libselinux.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

After nearly a day installed, from one moment to another the wifi stopped working, reboot several times and simply not detected any network.

In everything else I loved it!!
waiting for a new build
enable development mode on about this phone and use this command on adb shell
Code:
$ ifconfig wlan0 up
$ service network-manager restart
