I want to Install Ubuntu Touch on my Nexus 4.
But, I don't know whether the device support Desktop Convergence.
What I heard is we cannot connect keyboard and mouse to Nexus 4 via USB.
If Desktop Convergence is possible with Nexus 4, how it can be achieved?

Thanks...

    Desktop convergence is not scheduled for the upcoming 13.10 release. Wait at least for the 14.04 release.

Yes, mostly. It supports HDMI over MHL, so you can connect your Nexus 4 to your monitor or TV. You will need a bluetooth keyboard and mouse to actually control the desktop, as the Nexus 4 has no other ports.

  • Hi Ian, do you know the supported keyboards/mice for nexus 4? Oct 13, 2013 at 17:53
  • I don't, as supported peripherals on the Nexus 4 with Android might differ when Ubuntu touch is installed.

I just posted this link on another thread, the blogger explains his experience with Desktop convergence and has a Logitech K380 keyboard and Logitech M557 mouse. https://sturmflut.github.io/ubuntu/convergence/2015/11/01/ubuntu-convergence-part-1/
