Has *anyone* got Ubuntu Touch dual-booting from Marshmallow? - Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I see quite a few hardware specific questions on here, with people getting stuck on the Google logo, when attempting to dual boot into Ubuntu from Marshmallow.
I'm in the same boat myself, on a Nexus 7 [2013]. Trying the actual Boot to Ubuntu app just reboots to Android and trying MultiRom gets me stuck at the Google logo. So, just out of interest [as I suspect this isn't a device specific issue], has *anyone* with Marshmallow as their primary ROM managed to dual boot Ubuntu and, if so, what particular 'voodoo' worked for you?

I have a Nexus 5 and I have the same problem, I only see the Google logo.

Cm13 on N4. Same problem man

I am on chroma ROM in the nexus 4 with the latest build. I used the Ubuntu dual boot app provided from ubutu. I was able to install the 15.04 version and it booted perfectly.

Anyone had any luck with this using multirom?

Might be easier to try to flash ubuntu onto one of the stock based builds as ubuntu works on top of the android 4.2.1 and 4.2.2 just that ubuntu does not require dalvik.
Those of you who are still at this thread, look here. Basically I'm starting a port of it. I don't have an ETA at this point since I haven't built Ubuntu Touch before.

Please help a noob with my OS and Google Play

Hello all,
A little background: I recently purchased a Motorola Moto E (1st Generation) and I was very happy with my decision for the first couple weeks I had the phone. The only problem was that the OS often nagged me to update it, which I finally gave in and did. Unfortunately, after fully updating the OS and turning off all backup and sync features, the OS still sucked 40 MB of data per day! I only get 500 MB of data per month on my plan so I could not continue using that OS comfortably.
My goal is to root my phone and install a basic, no-frills OS that gives me total control. Of especial importance is that the OS does not use any background data unless I expressly permit it to. I was happy with the OS that came with the phone so I wouldn't mind using a Mod based on that older software. I enjoyed the look and feel of the newer OS too, but I can't use it with any of the bloatware or data sucking features.
I am a noob so I am asking for you to please link me to a specific OS that you recommend and please also link me to how to install Google Play on that OS. Here is what I have done so far, but I'm having problems and I'm willing to change everything.
Now I have rooted my phone as per the guide written by theunlockr (external links are disabled for me, sorry).
I installed the latest CyanogenMod on the Moto E (condor) page.
I installed Open Gapps per the CyonogenMod Wiki.
I didn't know which options to choose on the Open Gapps downloads page so I guessed and I chose ARM, 6.0, nano.
Unfortunately, my phone is definitely not in a sound working condition right now. Every time I boot (normal boot), it tries configuring Apps and then announces that installation failed and offers to send a report and there is no way to close the repeated dialogue boxes and actually use the phone.
*If* I am going to stick with my current OS, CyanogenMod, then I may need help uninstalling this incorrect Gapps software and replacing it with the correct version.
Thank you sincerely,
Bycote
I suggest you to do all the wipes,then search for a 5.1.1 ROM (Choose the one you like the most),flash it and install nano 5.1.1 open gapps package.

Installing Nougat on any device?

Hi guys, I have a question for you. I have a tablet, which is not supported above android 4.2, but it is not that old (Asus Memopad 8 K00l). Nobody even on XDA posted ROM for Android 4.4 or higher. But: I can install Android Nougat on my laptop and it surprisingly works without any issues. Why is it so difficult to install it on some random tablet device?

Every handheld device like a smartphone or tablet has its own hardware.
The kernel, for example, needs to be programmed about which drivers to load.
And most of the time, each device has its own drivers.
Each ROM is built for a particular device, that's why one ROM which works on one tablet does not work on another.
But in case of large devices, like laptops, they are designed so that any kind of OS can be installed upon them according to the concerned person's needs.
There are operating systems which work only on part of a computer chip.
These OSes help in installing almost any OS in a laptop.
The same are probably not available for handheld devices like tablets

UEFI Bootloader for Nexus 9?

Is anyone aware of a UEFI loader that could be ported to Nexus 9? EFIDroid only works on Qualcomm chips unfortunately, but perhaps another method could allow UEFI booting. I''ve been toying with the idea of using CoreBoot, but maybe there's an easier way? My endgoal is to have Windows 10 Pro running on the tablet, perhaps a RAM upgrade as well.
