Edit Reason: removed random 'you' ;)

By popular demand I modified a Ubuntu Mate installer as per my instructions here to install latest pre-release Android 7.1 image to your Pinebook's eMMC (NB: disregard the message that its installing Ubuntu in the installer - it will install Android).
This is not an official image so I am just tossing it up on google drive for those who want to try it. Also, I have not tested if it works - so it may not. Do let me know if it doesn't. I have done this in the past and worked just fine so I expect there won't be any issues.
Here is the google drive link
edit 2: Removed the image because apparently the image did not work.
Follow this simple procedure:
1) Flash the ubuntu install image to SD
2) mount rootfs of the installer
3) delete the pinebook.img (please check, I cant remember if thats what its called)
4) rename A7.1 image to 'pinbook.img'
5) copy the renamed A7.1 image to the installers rootfs
6) put the SD into your Pinebook
edit: Do not update SudoSu - it breaks the installation
