To install dual-boot, you'll need:

  • A Nexus 4 device (other supported Nexus devices should in theory work but have not been tested at the time)
  • Android 4.2 or higher running on the device, either stock firmware or based on CyanogenMod or AOSP. Note that Android 4.4 requires additional steps to get phone calls working on the Ubuntu side
  • 2.7GB of free storage on the device to install Ubuntu
  • ADB tools running on your desktop computer
  • The device needs its bootloader to be unlocked and USB debugging enabled

Not sure where to put this as this is pretty much aimed at developers, but whatever, if you're bored with your N4 here's a fun way to brick have fun with it.
