Nexus 4 porting stuff.

Wed Jul 29, 2015 1:34 am
This is a thread that assembles all of the stuff needed to port Plasma Mobile to the Nexus 4.

What is needed(at the very least):
hybris-boot.img
.rc files for the Nexus 4 board(mako)
lxc android container for hybris

All of these should available on the Mer libhybris wiki, I don't know how they need to be assembled to get a working ROM/image.

Have you tried just flashing an unlocked Nexus 5 with ubuntu-device-flash? I'm not very privy to how this process works, but I have an N5, which as soon as I get a new phone to use, I can use to try. There are quite some N5 owners that showed interest.

I do not have a Nexus 5, I have an LG G2, which does not have a Ubuntu Touch port(and I never got the toolchain, compilers and build environment working to make one.)

For what it's worth, I meant Nexus 4 instead of 5.

I *also* have an N5, but of course we support that already, it's our reference device.

But, I don't have a Nexus 4 either ;)
