Can someone please link me to the dual boot, also do I need to wipe for it to work and what is the process on the dual boot?

What you are looking for is MultiROM.
You will not need to wipe anything.
Once installed whenever you reboot your tablet it will boot to a menu where you choose which of your installed ROMs it boots to.

Not dual boot, but multi ROM. I'm pretty sure the only restriction on the amount of ROMs is your storage size.
Yes, you can run Ubuntu Linux.

Yeah, MultiRom is your only choice for booting more than one OS on the nexus 7.

The new OS mobile UBUNTU is coming: http://www.pcworld.fr/telephonie/actualites,ubuntu-phone-os-pour-smartphones,534641,1.htm
Hope to see that fast port on our Nexus 7!!
We already have Ubuntu for our Device... Ubuntu OS Mobile looks more to adapt The screen of phones like The Galaxy Nexus...

This thing is going to be completely amazing, can't wait for it.
I can't wait for this. I won't be putting it on my N7 though. It'll be going on my N4. Gotta keep some Android in my life.

have you considered Multiboot? it allows you to dual (or triple, quadruple, whatever) boot android and ubuntu (or anything else). i haven't gotten it working yet, but many others have.

I have Multiboot working on my Nexus 7, it's quite easy actually:
- First flash an working rom to your Nexus
- Flash the modified recovery using fastboot flash recovery xxxxx.img
- Flash the Multiboot ZIP using the recovery
- Flash the modified kernel ZIP using the recovery
Reboot and you will see the Multiboot boot selector
Currently I have JB and Ubuntu installed on my Nexus 7, trying to get WebOS and Bodhi working as well
Hi, since no one has linked to this, I thought I should make a topic to make it more visible.
Check the link below to find Flashable zips of Ubuntu touch dev preview on your specific Nexus device.

I'm guessing this still wipes the sd card as well

The zips for the Toro version don't wipe the sd card, so I'll assume these won't.
Do you not require the Ubuntu boot IMG for this?

Thank you for the link.
I was able to install Ubuntu with CWM.
Installation works great, no issue.
Doesn't work with my Nexus 4 8GB. Keeps @ the bootingscreen, even after 20 Minutes.
Followed the complete instructions.

You should factory reset. You need to wipe data. System will already be wiped in the flash.
Also, there are 2 zips to install. You gotta do the mako one and then the generic one.

at first I thought that was the UI add on or something. Thanks for that mate.
Just curious. Is anyone working on a port of Ubuntu Touch for the RAZR i? If the answer is yes then awesome, if not then I'm gonna give it a shot. Would you guys be interested in using it?

I'd be interested in using it.

I was just reading up on it and officially they use cm10 as a base but they say you can also use an aosp ROM as a base. That means I could theoretically use the retail EU ROM for the RAZR i as the base and make porting a lot easier
Sent from my XT890 using Tapatalk 2
I'd be interested if it's installable as a dual-boot (and yes, that's possible; look at the HP Touchpad (which I also have) which now dual-boots Ubuntu Touch and webOS).
Dual booting would totally be possible. Just have to use a boot loader that can handle it. Don't think there exists a custom boot loader for the RAZR i yet though. Although I don't think it would be too difficult to install syslinux for example.
Sent from my XT890 using Tapatalk 2
Maybe we could use moboot like the HP Touchpad? It's open source so in theory we could compile it for the Razr i.

It's definitely possible. And even easier than porting an android rom. You can use any aosp ROM as a base. Ubuntu just needs the kernel the drivers, and the radio. That's it. There are step by step instructions in the Ubuntu wiki on how to "plug in" these files into Ubuntu touch, then you compile, and flash using adb. It's fairly straight forward. Once it's working, I'll work on porting a boot loader that supports multiple partitions. I know that's possible because I'm currently dual booting cm10 and Arch Linux on my evo 3D.
Sent from my XT890 using Tapatalk 2
I'd be interested in trying it out, but I also want to encourage this because it sounds like it would give us a good AOSP base to work off of for other Android ROMs.
I've been searching for an explanation to this, haven't had any luck. I used ROMToolbox on my Nexus 10 to change recoveries (TWRP 2.5.0.0 > 2.3.3.0) and it worked without any problem. I tried the same thing with my Vivid and got an "illegal instruction" error.
I was on CM ROM at the time, so I switched to PAC to see if that made any difference. It didn't. I finally got it installed using flash_image. I'm under the impression ROMToolbox's script uses flash_image, so I'm wondering if anyone knows why it didn't work that way
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk HD
I would assume ROM toolbox tried to flash your recovery to the wrong partition...
Sent from my Vivid 4G using Tapatalk 2
Thanks. But that seems like a fairly large glitch on ROMToolbox's part. Wouldn't all Android devices have the same partition structure? Or is there something unique about HTC devices?
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk HD
Not all phones are partitioned in the same manor... hence the guess
