[Nexus 7 (2013) General] droidshadow:
keeping my fingers crossed!

Okay so i think i have this figured out...

I am transfering the ubuntu files from my computer to my tablet as we speak and then i am going to try flashing Ubuntu Touch with TWRP Recovery Manager + MultiROM. If all goes well (i really hope) i will report back. If all does go well i will be writing a small tutorial with detailed steps on how to install Ubuntu Touch.

***UPDATE***

Well i have done it! I was finally able to get Ubuntu Touch installed on my Nexus 7 2013 32GB WiFi Only Model FLO Tablet!!!

You see...when I first learned about things like Ubuntu Touch and Pwn Pad (penetration testing rom for nexus 7) -> www.pwnieexpress.com it inspired me to get the Nexus 7 tablet. I first started off getting the N7 2013 Model FLO and then I decided to purchase the Nexus 7 2013 LTE model DEB tablet from Verizon. On my FLO tablet i now have my stock (internal ROM with lots of mods) + Kali PwnPad + Ubuntu Touch. Everything I have ever wanted to do to my Nexus 7 I have finally done today! This is such a great day...i am very happy as you can see!

Now as far as my other Nexus 7 32 GB model DEB tablet I have the ROM from the great guys over at www.pwnieexpress.com which is the 2014 Pwn Pad CE ROM. Has anyone heard anything about Ubuntu Touch becoming available for the Nexus 7 DEB models yet?

So as promised I am currently working on writing up a simple tutorial on how to install Ubuntu Touch onto your Nexus 7 FLO tablet to help others that may be a bit hesitant because they don't feel comfortable (technical wise) to flash Ubuntu Touch. I do promise you that it is not that hard. I will cover everything in my small tutorial, from rooting your tablet, installing TWRP recovery, installing MultiROM, flashing the kexec-patch, and then finally flashing Ubuntu Touch.

Now for those of you who have been having issues with black screens, I think it might have to do something with not having the kexec patch flashed onto your internal ROM. I am not sure how this would affect Ubuntu Touch since I don't think that they actually share the same kernel, but I did have my internal (stock) Nexus 4.4.2 ROM flashed wit the kexec-patch and I didn't have any problems installing Ubuntu Touch. And...i do in fact remember reading somewhere that you did need to have the internal/stock ROM flashed with the kexec-patch in order to use Ubuntu Touch. I am not sure if that still applies to Ubuntu Touch now, but it seemed to work great for me.

I would love it someone else could clarify this for me a bit more...

Personal Note:

You know what is funny...two days ago I actually ordered the First Generation Nexus 7 32GB WiFi Only Model Grouper tablet from Ebay because from the research that I had done, that seemed to be the only tablet that seemed to work with decent stability with Ubuntu Touch. That is how serious and motivated I was about getting Ubuntu Touch installed!!

I am so happy to finally have this onto my tablet, and I can't wait to play with it now and see exactly what I can do with this system! So....give me a few hours to play with Ubuntu Touch so i can mention PRO's and CON's about the system in my upcoming tutorial!

Well that is it for now! I am off to play with Ubuntu Touch! I can't thank the developers enough for never giving up on this project, I know from the reading that I have done that it was NOT EASY in the beginning and I know this must have taken a lot of their personal time to have this project come to life. Thank you developers, you know who you are and we all owe you so much. Long Live the Open Source Community!
