Well, I think the best way to get started is to make yourself familiar 
with the Android tree and Android build tools, especially with the repo 
command. Pick your favorite ROM for your device, preferably one that is 
close to AOSP like OmniROM, build it from source and run it on your device.

Once you have completed this and you are running your own build, get the 
AOSP-based phablet tree. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/AOSPBuild for 
more details. However, I suggest to use the phablet-4.4.2_r1 branch that 
is not yet mentioned there.

Use the device and kernel packages that worked in your first ROM build 
as a starting point and read the porting guide 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Porting for information, what you need to 
change. However mind that the porting guide needs updating too, but it 
still is a valuable resource.

If you run into any issues or have more questions, I am sure you will 
find help here in this list. Be sure to include enough details on what 
you did and what is happening.
