Note
Please note that this still is a work in progress which basically means it's a concept & idea until I get a working build.
- When I get a booting build, please note that it is considered alpha and shouldn't be for daily use.
- Also, Ubuntu Touch doesn't support CDMA as well as many other features so please note that when a build is ready.
Ubuntu Touch Developer Preview
for the Sprint Galaxy S II
The modified kernel and device tree are available on my GitHub, http://www.github.com/Ubuntu-EpicTouch. It was modified from a base AOSP/CM10.1 device tree provided by many people including chris41g, sbrissen, and many others. The device proprietary blobs used were provided by TheMuppets GitHub. Thanks to the many contributions to the kernel, this wouldn't be possible without you guys.for the Sprint Galaxy S II
Please note that this is still a Work-in-Progress and is considered a proof-of-concept until a working build is released. If you wish to try to port UbuntuTOUCH, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Porting.
Below is a list of what works in the preview and what doesn't, thanks to XDA-DEVELOPERS:
