I have answered my own question... MultiROM Android App:
http://www.addictivetips.com/ubuntu-linux-tips/dual-boot-android-ubuntu-touch-or-firefox-os-on-nexus-4-7-with-multirom/
"A great thing about MultiROM is the way it doesn’t require a lot of
tweaking on the user’s part to get things to work – there are no custom
bootloaders to flash, no configuration files to manually tweak or move
around; it all just works. Even better – it also supports USB flash
drives on devices such as the Nexus 7 that support USB OTG out of the
box, and even on Nexus 4 with hardware hacks that enable it."
***
This means on a Nexus 4, 7 or any USB OTG enabled-device, we can boot a
custom Tails edition of Android or Ubuntu Touch from a USB drive. Awesome!
Open-source, as well:
