Wayne, Thanks for the suggestion. I will experiment with multirom and see if that works. I did some more research on running Ubuntu Phone on a galaxy s4 and it looks like there is an abandoned version out there. I'm going to look into that further as well and see if I can at least get it stood up on my s4.
For the immediate future just to try and get Ubuntu phone working I ordered a used Nexxus 4. Should be here this week. -Dave On Fri, Sep 2, 2016 at 4:24 AM, Wayne Ward <i...@wayneward.co.uk> wrote: > i found IRC to be really handy lately! > > on the nexus i used multirom does that not install on the samsung > i looked on ubports and your phones not on the list, have you talked to > them about adding it and maybe helping out port across > > Regards > Wayne > > > > On Friday, 2 September 2016 08:52:53 BST, David Krovich < > dmkrov...@mix.wvu.edu> wrote: > >> Following up to my own post.
