Hi all,
I briefly read that Ubuntu Touch ports for new or unsupported devices can be made by anyone, granted they have the know-how to do so. Is this true? I am really drawn to Ubuntu Touch because I love the idea of getting away from Google. I have never developed for Linux. I only know basic C at best. However, I consider myself to be tech savvy, and I am definitely passionate about security!
Could I make a reasonable attempt at making my own port for the OnePlus 7 Pro by following the online guide? What would something like that entail? Am I better off waiting for an experienced community member to do it? Is a port for the OnePlus 7 Pro currently in the works?
Thanks!

If you feel strong enough you can try i would say, but i think it's a long way so don't start it thinking you'll succeed a full working phone in one month.
Get an eye here : https://forums.ubports.com/category/33/porting to see how it's going for others ports.

There is some documentation here:

http://docs.halium.org/en/latest/porting/first-steps.htmlI guess it is an Android9 device?

@SwankyBarbecue4 I think the main issue here maybe that the halium version for your device is not ready yet. But when it is there is plenty of help available.

Hi ,
Is there any update @SwankyBarbecue4 how far you have gone in trying to port the ubuntu touch for Oneplus 7 pro . Let me know .
Thanks -
Hey,
Ryan made a port of UBPorts to the OnePlus 7 Pro back in March. If you haven't found it yet, here's our XDA post. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/ubports-ubuntu-touch-gsi-oneplus-7-pro.4268221/. Our instructions on there are a bit outdated so I'd either skip to the last page and find my post with rootfs instructions or join our Discord for the most up-to-date information.
Have a good day! -

Wouldn't it be great to get that one in the installer? Some not-too-old devices are good to have. What would be required for that to happen?

@moem Yes that'd be great. I hope we can get it added to the installer soon but I haven't looked into it much yet.
