Previously on Ubuntu Planet, Matt Fischer described how to build Ubuntu Nexus7 images . It did involve using simg2img & make_ext4fs binaries which you can get from: android sdk download hand compiled binaries from Matt's http server But now, there are more usual ways as well: Ubuntu Raring archive Ubuntu Nexus7 Installer PPA for Quantal and Precise It's the same PPA used in the current Nexus7 installation instructions . sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-nexus7/ubuntu-nexus7-installer sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install android-tools-fsutils android-tools-fastboot Enjoy and happy hacking the images =)
