I will build for both versions, but I can only test the device variant I receive, so I hope both will work.
The images are ready, but I won't upload them without trying them out.

Today I got the device!
And today the ubuntu touch team decided to make the switch from the "just another android shell":
Instead of booting into android and firing up the Ubuntu system after
android has booted, the new images now boot into Ubuntu and initialize
android inside an LXC container during boot.

Sounds great. My Pollux_Windy also waiting for your work.
BTW, thanks.

First images are ready for flashing.
Until Ubuntu Touch finished the container flip, we will stick to the classic layout, so no daily saucy ubuntu images.
WiFi is not working - help would be appreciated.
Tried loading the module wlan.ko in /system/lib/modules, but not sure if done right.
The boot.img you mentioned in OP can be the boot.img extracted from the Pollux_windy zip file?
WiFi feature not working is really regretted, hope you can find the solving way, I'm not dev, but I like to try new thing.
WiFi is important to me for daily usage. Perhaps next build from you?
Thank you anyway.

There is no perfectly stable dual boot for this device yet. Other thing is. Porting win rt to android device is (kinda illegal) and it's a little bit impossible to do for devs. And yeah everyone of us would like to see rt on ours XTZ, but for now it's not gonna happen that easly.

Impossible is a bit strong. It is improbable that a dev would do the needed work to make Windows RT boot.
The number one reason you touched on is legality, because you cannot just buy a Windows RT license aquiring the image to install would be illegal, and any dev who supported this would be likely to incur the wrath of Microsoft.
A dev may do it for fun though, like cotulla did with the HD2, but again like with the HD2 it would probably never see the light of day due to the above license issues.
Ty for your answer
WiFi fixed, fully working!
Uploading... Done.

This will be a tutorial for people who want to Triple Boot on their Nexus 4. I will not explain how to unlock/root or install a newer or older version of TWRP.
The tutorial is based on having an Android ROM as a base. I will be using the PSX rom as main.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step 1: Download the following files for MultiRom support on TWRP:
MultiROM: multirom-20131005-v16-mako.zip
Modified recovery (TWRP 2.6.3.0): TWRP_multirom_mako_20131006.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step 2; Flash a Kernel that supports the Kexec Hardboot patch. Or of course built your own.
Franco Kernel
Trinity Kernel
Faux Kernel
I will eventually add more
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step 3: Installing FirefoxOS
Download the following files:
System (Build September 30)
User Interface (Build October 5) FirefoxOS 1.3
Install the Mako_FFOS-20130930_system.zip as new ROM in the MultiROM interface. When it is installed go to List ROMs.
Then Flash ZIP the Mako_FFOS-20131005_UI_1.3.zip User Interface.
When you reboot your Nexus 4 you will be able to boot into FirefoxOS
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step 4: Installing Ubuntu Touchhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2324683
For Ubuntu Touch to boot you need at least the 9-10-2013 built. This can be found on the Ubuntu website: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch/daily-preinstalled/
You will need the saucy-preinstalled-touch-armhf.zip as a base.
And saucy-preinstalled-touch-armel+mako.zip as the second thing to install.
In MultiROM there is a seperate menu for adding Ubuntu Touch to the MultiROM list. This will take a while.
You will now be able to boot Ubuntu Touch when rebooting the device. Please know that the latest nighly's take a very long time to boot. At least 1,5 minutes.

Here is a Youtube video of it all. I also included a second Android ROM with a different kernel. The Main android ROM has the Franco Kernel and the second one has the NEO kernel.

Just a query, as I'm not well versed in dual booting. Will dual or triple booting cause throttling, heating or performance issues. Oh and also will it provide battery for a day's use, since it's booting three OS?

Not that I have experienced. You will boot each OS seperatly and not at the same time, so it should not cause any hardware issues.

Yes it does. When I first starting using MultiRom I used PA 3.99 too. The only problem is the kernels. If you wish so flash another kernel on a second Android rom you will get graphic problems like you would have with JSS or JWR differences.
Oh yeah, thank you for this

Just flash the ROM. The kernel with KEXEC only needs to be installed for the Primary ROM. (This allows MultiROM to ignore it when booting other ROMS)
@Zenety Tasssadar created a new test recovery img that fixes the data issue with installing UTouch as the second+ ROM. I haven't checked yet to see if he's updated his OP, but you may want to keep this in mind.

Introduction
MultiROM is one-of-a-kind multi-boot mod for Nexus 7. It can boot any Android ROM as well as other systems like Ubuntu Touch, Plasma Active, Bohdi Linux or WebOS port.Besides booting from device's internal memory, MultiROM can boot from USB drive connected to the device via OTG cable. The main part of MultiROM is a boot manager, which appears every time your device starts and lets you choose ROM to boot. You can see how it looks on the left image below and in gallery. ROMs are installed and managed via modified TWRP recovery. You can use standard ZIP files to install secondary Android ROMs, daily prebuilt image files to install Ubuntu Touch and MultiROM even has its own installer system, which can be used to ship other Linux-based systems.
Features:
* Multiboot any number of Android ROMs
* Restore nandroid backup as secondary ROM
You can also watch a video which shows it in action.

WARNING
It is dangerous. This whole thing is basically one giant hack - none of these systems are made with multibooting in mind. It is no longer messing with data partition or boot sector, but it is possible that something goes wrong and you will have to flash factory images again. Make backups. Always.

NOTES
I'm not responsible for anything.
I just compiled it, the hard work was done by the people in the credits section. Please support them.
Please post bugs

Hello and good news everybody!
Sailfish OS on Nexus 4, this is a community port!
Android-in-a-Window (sfdroid) support is now possible!
We are also working to rebase onto CM 12.1 for more goodies; you can help us by testing Backup to cloud (and restore) introduced in 2.0.2.51, as this will be needed during the CM reflash.
Status, download, installation...
Sailfish OS is a GNU/Linux based mobile operating system, which is gesture-driven for the ease of use. It runs natively as glibc (not Android's bionic), has bash and busybox (not toolbox), uses Qt for UX, and other opensource projects in its middleware -- which basically is just like a Linux on your desktop, and runs native Qt apps and cmdline apps, but doesn't run Android apps (check for Android-in-a-Window above if you need them).

Thank you for sharing this good news. Sailfish alongside lollipop is then no problem? That's great and really helpful for others!

Just encountered a problem with Clash Of Clans. The screen freezes every few seconds for milliseconds. I think it's some graphic-related problem with the old modem. (Btw there is a typo in my post.. I use the .84 one )
Maybe a hybrid modem would help but I'm to lazy to setup SailfishOS again

I used 0.48 modem and it didn't worked. I'll switch to 0.84 then. I'm on stock 5.0.1 with custom kernel.

yeah, sorry for the typo :/
I'm on self-built CM12 with the CM11-kernel from MultiROM (for the Kexec-hardboot problem).
I flashed the 0.84 modem and then installed sailfishOS with current MultiROM (CM 10.1.3 and this GREAT community sailfish-build)

Did you flash the modem all over the system or through MultiROM feature?

All over BEFORE installing sailfish OS.
Just setting it as Radio Image in MultiROM didn't work for me (couldn't use sound or WIFI..).
@carepack any suggestion for modem to set through MultiROM for WiFi, Bluetooth and sound to work? 3G data is working with stock 5.0.1 radio.

as far as I've seen, it doesn't work via MultiROM.
Bluetooth doesn't work yet anyhow.

totally right! You can track the status of working hardware on:
https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Adaptations/libhybris
gps, bluetooth, nfc not working. i recommend 0.84 modem. But you can play with it and look where you get best results. also this thread may help you:

okay good news: the graphic problem seems to be coming from the cm11 kernel. so we (we = CM12 users) just have to wait for a cm12 kernel with kexec-hardboot support
I know it's a silly question but does it has android runtime ? ( i know about the license "Problem" but just out of curiosity)
Nice to see some progress in Sailfish for N4. Could someone report on MTP or UMS? I really missed being able to copy files onto the phone.

copyin' files is no problem. ssh/sftp/scp/gnome. if you're a linux user it should be easy for you. But if you want to prefer mtp you'll have to wait. Not working atm
UMS? = UMTS

As you may know it, GALAXY Grand Prime is powered by a 64Bit Entry-Level Quad Core CPU, that makes developpment on this device VERY HARD It's like Intel Atom Processors
Anyway, I tried to make a repo for building TWRP GALAXY Grand Prime by refering to Huawei G620S' Repo by GitHub member "EloYGomeZ" BIG thanks to him.
If you're interested in building TWRP, you can use this repo. Feel free to use it, but please remember to give credits when done.
The Repo isn't yet done, it may contains many bugs and errors; plus I can't test it or test a TWRP build since I don't have my hand on that device (should have one in 2 weeks).
Update as of 18/6/2015: TWRP has been compiled for Grand Prime

Wow great,
IMO, its not about 64bit chipset, as we know, lenovo a6000/k30 have the same chipset 64bit.
But have development, we have CWM, Phillz recovery, cm11, MIUI rom
The main problem to devevelop grand prime is qualcomm secure bootloader that protect the device. We need to disable the secure bootloader first. CMIIW

I didn't see Lenovo a6000 CWM/TWRP and Custom ROMs yet.
About Bootloader on Grand Prime, I never heard about this
Maybe we should start unlocking this 1st
I can't do anything as of now, since I don't have the decice yet.
i hope i can learn somewhere how to build twrp. Anyway i will support u guys.

What's the problem with the BoardConfig ?
PS: I also don't own the device yet.
The board config should be in KK Kernel source.
I'll test extensively I have 8 sm-g530az (cricket USA)
All rooted with cwm philz recovery

I'd love to, but I don't have the device yet. That's why I even stopped the project.
Suggestion: try to find a similar device (same chipset) that have CM or a CWM ROM, download that ROM and replace your binary with the one in that ROM. I heard the Huawei G620S (with MSM8916) have a working CyanogenMod, you may want to check that out.
Suggestion 2: make sure your updater-script is well formed, I can help you with that if needed, just upload that file.
CYANOGENMOD 13.0

ROM OS Version: 6.0.x Marshmallow
ROM Firmware Required: Unlocked Bootloader
Version Information
Status: Nightly
Created 2016-02-21

In my opinion, this ROM is not ready as a daily driver. You can try it on your own, but never tell me that I have not warnt you. It is not very stable and the GooglePlay Services crash often. This ROM is mainly for people who want to try something new. I will continue making builds every 1 or 2 weeks or every time a major thing gets fixed (e.g. camera).
Good see CM 13 coming to Z2... Thank you for your efforts

I don't think the camera would work on any camera apps available due to the missing drivers, before the Aosp blobs merged with cm (before 20 Feb) cyanogenmod was...let's say, less stable than what it is now,So yea there's like 80% chance that this rom would not have a working camera.
Keep up the good work, you're the only person who's working on cm 13 for z2 so I gotta give u alot of credits :good:
