Man I tried so hard to do that with my galaxy S3 which had an unlocked bootloader (I don't think it even needed an exploit.)

Despite it's popularity though the ROM quality was extremely poor later in its life. I actually built my own busybox based OS for it from the GPL kernel source on Samsung's website but couldn't get most of the peripherals to work without all the Android stuff.

I've totally given up on Android. Thanks to the mobile Linux "movement" (or whatever) there are multiple better options now.
