Re: [DEV] Ubuntu Phone - Rev 0.1
Would love to give this a try, but is it simple to revert back to previous rom?
I'm hoping it's as simple as booting into recovery and using my nandroid backup.

Is this easily reverted back to Android roms via cwm/twrp? I know this isn't ready for daily but still wanna try it out and obviously want to make sure I can easily flash back to the current rom I am on now.
Update: gave it a shot and hoped for the best.
Not to keen on Ubuntu as I am so used to Android OS, but it does look nice and is very smooth.
I got the usual problem when booting up with the flickering N7100 splash screen, but after a few mins Ubuntu did load.
Simple to revert back to android with CWM.
I'll give this a proper test when more things are working.
Good work to the dev and keep it up my friend :thumbup:

sure you didnt wipe your internal sdcard instead of system in recovery? (considering how close they are and that i've done that a couple of times)

It doesnt wipe your recovery, hence you can always revert.

This is pretty unusable but it is also something new. It could be awesome fully working.

---

It does NOT wipe internal memory. I hwve tested this myself and so have 3 others so far who havent reported the internal wipe.

If it really wipes your internal all you need to do is backup nandroid and/or titanium backup folder to your computer.
