The Nexus 7/Ubuntu Touch Transformation!

Technology:

Holy Cow! A few weeks ago I was researching Ubuntu Touch on the Nexus 7 2013 and I decided to give it a try. The only way I was able to do this was to use the App called "MultiRom." Here is the link: MultiRom Manager. I believe this app is very powerful, meaning, it can do so much without messing up your stock ROM. So, Ubuntu Touch was installed and it worked pretty good. It was a little glitchy here and there but overall, not bad. I finally decided to make a youtube video installing Ubuntu Touch (Original Video) and it was a hit. Soon after, I started receiving all kinds of responses about what it can do and how well it operates. I had no clue what I was getting into.

Lets fast forward to a couple days ago. I started to research Ubuntu Touch and get a little knowledge of its potential. I soon discovered that there was a whole different world out there and I just cracked the door to it. Apparently, there was a technology conference last week and Ubuntu launched a series of new additions to the "Touch" concept. Many of you may of heard that Ubuntu Touch quit supporting the Nexus 7 2012 models. That was just the tip of the iceberg. Right now, unofficial "nightly" releases of Ubuntu Touch have been released for the Nexus 7 2013 model. I'm so excited! I began to download and install its latest nightly. I could not believe what I saw. It was a great working edition of Ubuntu Touch version 14 with very little glitches. I could surf the net, download apps, and even run the Terminal. I just had to share my experience with others.

Now, Thanks to MultiRom Manager, Ubuntu Touch is easier than ever to download and install. The app updated with the ability to OTA Ubuntu Touch with the latest "nightly." At this point, I did a simple youtube video (Updated Video)explaining the update and how it works.

I hope you have enjoyed reading my experience with the Nexus 7 and Ubuntu Touch. Ubuntu Touch is what I do.
