ubuntu-emulator and ubuntu-device-flash

 

Hello everyone; just to let you know that if you are on trusty you can install ubuntu-device-flash and ubuntu-emulator
ubuntu-device-flash is going to be replacing phablet-flash and removes 
all the old cruft and hacks set in place following all the architecture 
changes and backwards compatibility laying around; this is only useful 
for flashing image based upgradable images, I wrote about it here 
http://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/phablet-flash-in-golang/1297 and Alex 
wrote about it in 
http://developer.ubuntu.com/2014/01/installing-ubuntu-to-phones-using-mac-osx/
Except for the name change everything is the same; to get it directly 
into your go env (if you have one) do
go get launchpad.net/goget-ubtuntu-touch/ubuntu-device-flash

Additionally, there's also ubuntu-emulator which is supposed to easily help you manage your Ubuntu Touch emulator images for local use (notice that apparmor is enabled by default here). I've updated the previous instructions here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Emulator#Instructions and there's been on http://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/phablet-flash-in-golang/1297/2 for a bit.
