That's actually no longer the case. In the very beginning of the Ubuntu Touch work, Ubuntu was indeed running in a container on top of Android but we changed that months ago. Nowadays if you look at a standard Ubuntu Touch installation, you'll notice it'll boot directly to Ubuntu and then start a minimal Android system using an LXC container. I'd recommend doing a standard Ubuntu Touch install and then look into /var/lib/lxc/android for the Android container. Running a full Android system on top of Ubuntu Touch should be relatively easy, all you'd have to do is prevent Unity8 from starting and use a full fledged version of Android in /var/lib/lxc/android/system.img instead of our stripped down version. -- Stéphane Graber Ubuntu developer http://www.ubuntu.com
