Dual Boot Android 4.4.2 and Ubuntu for Phones
[INFO!] This only works on Nexus 7 (2012 & 2013), Nexus 4, Nexus 5, OnePlus One, Sony Xperia Z (yuga), Motorola Moto G and HTC One M7 and M8.

Install ADB (Android Debug Bridge)
Run these commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:phablet-team/tools
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-device-flash


Download TWRP 2.7.0.0 and SuperSU binary.
Copy the SuperSU binary zip to the phone's memory. Run this command to go to the bootloader:
sudo reboot bootloader

Unzip the TWRP files on your computer and install the images with the following command (replace recovery.img with the name of the file you have downloaded):
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

You now have root access in Android. Install MultiROM Manager, apply the patches, and download Ubuntu for phones. The application will ask for root access and the installation will go on smoothly. When you reboot you will be prompted with a small screen that allows you to choose what system you want to run. Choose Ubuntu and you are good to go.
