I run Ubuntu Touch on a Nexus 4, have done for about 6 months now.
It's tolerable, and refreshingly non-intrusive compared to Android. At one point I started craving Snapchat and put Android back on, but all the intrusive nag screens put me off and I went back to Ubuntu.
It crashes a lot but that might just be my Nexus 4, it used to do it on Android too.
It's a bit slow, the camera app is rubbish, there's no Snapchat, the email client has some weird bugs, there's no adblock. But it has Telegram, and it can do calls and texts, the web browser is OK, and the terminal app is good.
