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

 

I got tilipia to boot!  Ubuntu Touch looks great!

I added "datapart=/dev/mmcblk0p10" to the "cmdline".  This is a workaround,
but indicates that the problem is in the /dev partition.

In "initrd" , /scripts/touch , in "mountroot", it searches /dev for
""userdata UDA DATAFS USERDATA" , when it doesn't find it, it panics.  I
don't know exactly how to do fix this.
