I have been looking at the porting guide. I know Ubuntu Touch is already ported to the Nexus 5. Looking at the wiki - https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/start/ubuntu-for-devices/porting-new-device/ - and scrolling down to the section on lunch I see that hammerhead is an option (Nexus 5 device). So I would select option 11. Is it safe to assume that boot and recovery won't change from my current Nexus 5 build, and all I'm really building is a new system image? Would I skip the Enabling a New Device and Device Specific Changes sections as there is already a build for hammerhead?
Reading further down on the Building section, it talks about push to your device using rootstock-ng and does a wget: bzr branch lp:project-rootstock-ng [rootsock_trunk_path] ROOTFS="utopic-preinstalled-touch-armhf.tar.gz" wget -c "http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch/daily-preinstalled/current/$ROOTFS"; -O "$OUT/$ROOTFS" I don't see stable, rc or rc-proposed on cdimage. If I wanted to stay within vivid vervet, would I do a wget from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch/vivid/daily-preinstalled/current/vivid-preinstalled-touch-armhf.tar.gz and change the ROOTFS to "vivid-preinstalled-touch-armhf.tar.gz"? And where the bzr branch statement above shows [rootsock trunk_path] - would that be my local path on my Ubuntu laptop where I install the tools? Or are all the steps above overdoing it, and all I really need to do is use boot my nexus into recovery, then use rootfs to push the vivid-preinstalled-touch-armhf.tar.gz to my Nexus 5?
