Hi All.

I would like to Test Ubuntu Touch on a new till yet unsupported Android 
Device.

From what i see there are several Images called phablet-armelhf that 
can be downloaded.

What i would like to know and Ask is if it is possible somehow to
extract the content of such a Image into a existing Android System 
Partition and Modify the init Startup Script to see how Ubuntu Toouch 
would work on such a device ?

If yes what would be the Steps to to do this especially what would be 
needed to be downloaded and modifiyed?

The Vendor does not Provide the Sources to recompile the Kernel and a 
Device Tree does also not exist.

Best Option becouse of this is somehow just to replace the System Image 
with the Ubuntu System Image and try to boot this way into Ubuntu Touch.

My Android Device has the MTK6577 SoC

ro.mediatek.platform=MT6577
ro.mediatek.chip_ver=S01
ro.mediatek.version.branch=ALPS.ICS2.6577.SP

ro.product.cpu.abi=armeabi-v7a
ro.product.cpu.abi2=armeabi

and this are the Kernel Modules that are Loaded.

It would be really great to see Ubuntu Touch booting on this Device.
Thanks in advance for the Help.
