This is Ubuntu Touch
Disclaimer: Don't touch if your not experienced! You are responsible for what happens not me understand you agree that im not responsible in any way when you download!

Justsueme has been working on this rom for a while and now I bring it to a locked bootloader! Not possible Ubuntu says but im good a scrips, so test it out let us know READ EVERYTHING BEFORE FLASHNG...its not a normal rom!
Link to his threadhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2564187

instructions:
New Experimental method

Wipe device ready for new rom
Flash Rom : Rom
Reboot device

IF no wifi on boot you may need set
chmod +x /data/local/userinit.sh

(pm or comment if you need with terminals)

I didn't add reverse tether by default so head to manual fixes section to find how to.(buggy fixes soon with gsm)

this is not an update to functionality its just a quick knock-up putting both .zips into one and adding fix for no PC to boot.

Old Method(outdated) use if not working

At this point youll have a black screen and no activity except ADB
plug phone into pc
grab this file : (70-jfltexx.rules) http://www.datafilehost.com/d/17d6dd77
now open terminal
$ su
$ adb push 70-jfltexx.rules /usr/lib/lxc-android-config/
$ adb shell "reboot"
phone will look like its doing nothing for a bit, but wait.
now it will boot back up like normal but you will have a ubuntu touch gui

BUGS:
celluar
BT
IR?
no sound (works with headphones)
camera (maybe needs libjnigraphics ?)
frame jump
app not loading
adb or ssh for cli

Manual Fixes:

now have connectivity via reverse tether:
adb root
adb shell setprop sys.usb.config rndis,adb

ubuntu network manager will show that samsung android is connecting.
open network settings edit that connection and change auto DHCP to shared

run this command (logged into phone)

dhclient usb0 -v

now on phone open webbrowser or ping 8.8.8.8 to test connection

just got WIFI !

make it auto load at boot

touch userinit.sh
nano userinit.sh
add to the file :

-
#!/bin/bash
insmod /system/lib/modules/dhd.ko firmware_path=/system/etc/wifi/bcmdhd_sta.bin nvram_path=/system/etc/wifi/nvram_net.txt

-
adb push userinit.sh /data/local/userinit.sh
adb shell
chmod +x /data/local/userinit.sh

Yeah, I'm stuck on splash screen. Can't even get to boot animation. Possibly a kernel problem?

You need to link his thread to this one. And give him proper credit. He is the one that has worked hard on this. Not being mean but I'm just saying.

Is anyone actively working on this? Will it work with AT&T phones, or do I need to be concerned with the whole Loki Doki thing here as well? Until it is working with the cellular radio, I fear there is no reason to even play with this for now. :( Unfortunately, I don't think I have the skills to help out.

Subscribing.

Edit: Just tried to load this rom via TWRP v2.5.0.2 and it failed.

You do need Loki and such. I think development on this was merged into the international S4, if you check the Ubuntu wiki for Ubuntu touch you'll find the thread listed.

EDIT: It links to the same thread as OP, so I don't know if anyone is continuing it but I don't think so.
