Today I’m going to show you how to run Ubuntu on your android phone the easy. No kernel flashing, or pushing wimax drivers, or WiFi drivers will be necessary. First of all, you should have your Android device “rooted” because you need root access to run Ubuntu off your Android.
First:
Download from Google Play (FREE)
(Put both apps on your main screen)
Second:
Download the ubuntu.img, ubuntu.sh, and the ubuntu.sh.md5 file from here: http://minus.com/mKGww7gIl#2
Here’s a link just to the ubunu.sh if you want it:http://minus.com/mKGww7gIl#1
OR
Torrent Link of all of the above (Faster)

OK we’re good to go:
Now make a folder named ubuntu on your SDcard and transfer the three ubuntu files there.
On your device open up terminal emulator and type “su” then hit enter
Next type “cd sdcard/ubuntu” (without the quotes)
After that type “sh ubuntu.sh” (without the quotes)
(ignore the warning) Then go and open up Android VNC.
Address: localhost (or keep empty, it may work better for some that way)
Nickname: (Leave Blank)
Password: ubuntu (lower case)
Port: 5900
24-bit-color (BPP)
You can watch the video below to guide you through it. If you’ve downloaded the files and put the ubuntu files in a ubuntu folder, skip to the 2.00 minute mark in the video.
You’re all set!!
Enjoy
