Ubuntu and Android dual boot developer

Dual boot is not a feature suitable for regular users. It is recommended to be installed only by developers who are comfortable with flashing devices and with their partition layout. Dual boot rewrites the Android recovery partition and those installing it should be intimately familiar with re-flashing it in case something goes wrong.
Multiple Android flavours are supported (AOSP or stock, CyanogenMod) and installation of Ubuntu can be done for all versions available in the phablet-flash channels.

How To Connect Your Android Device To Ubuntu

Android now uses MTP instead of mass storage which means you can't just plug your Android device to your Linux box and access the content. Since the MTP support in Linux is bad, it could be frustrating to find that you just can't connect your Android device to your PC. Your best bet is to try to install gMTP and then try to connect. Good luck with that.
It never worked for me so I gave up on it and adopted a different route which has only one requirement and if you can fulfill it, you will love it.  The requirement is WiFi. You need WiFi so that your Android device and talk to your PC.
The solution lies in your Android device. There are couple of apps which allows you to connect your Android device with your PC. Samsung has its own app called Kies Air (it doesn't work on some devices though). I have tried couple of apps and like Air Droid the most. It is available for free of cost and has a very engaging UI.
