Hi,

I am not aware of any fully functional port of Ubuntu to the Samsung S3. 
I tried porting Ubuntu to my S3 around a year ago, but did not succeed. 
As far as I know, others have succeeded, at least partially. A lot has 
happened over the past year, it seems, so maybe now is a good time to 
try again? I don't know.

Anyway, I recommend you take a look at the Ubuntu Porting Guide 
<https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/phone/devices/porting-new-device/> and 
this thread <http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2603802> 
from the XDA-forums. It should give you an idea of the state of things. 
Then you can decide whether you wish to roll your sleeves up and solve 
the problem yourself. Good luck!

Regards,
Ari
