Earlier we have shown you how to install MeeGo 1.1 on Nexus S. Now its time for Ubuntu. Steve Straughton Smith, an Irish iPhone, Mac Developer & XDA Forum member, has managed to port Ubuntu OS on Nexus S. Smith also has given how to for installing Ubuntu on Nexus S.
Warning installing customise kernel can void cellphone warranty, so do it on your risk.
What doesn’t work currently
Touchscreen
STEPS
- Download a copy of Ubuntu for HD2, and take just the rootfs.ext2 file and drag it to Nexus S by creating a folder ‘ubuntu’
- Then use fastboot to boot with this image
- You will need to do one minor edit once the device is booted; you will see the screen output is very weird; ADB push this file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and then reboot Ubuntu
