Re: Fwd: Trying to install Ubuntu touch on "Nexus 7 3G (tilipia)"

 

Ken,

I and a few others have had the same problem, we've posted here but
unfortunately we've had no further assistance. It would appear that tilapia
is no longer a reference device despite documentation to the contrary. I'm
a little disappointed in this as I bought the tilapia with the intention of
getting ubuntu running on it and like you, I can only get earlier builds on
it and these dont really do much.

Anybody else on the list care to pick up the task of either helping tilapia
owners debug this problem or taking the stance that its no longer a
supported device otherwise other people are just going to have the same
problem and its pretty frustrating to be posting content with nobody
willing to help from the development team.
