        Hi, if there is no existing port of Lineage or Cyanogen, it will be harder for you to port.
        I have almost zero knowledge in porting.

        So check ou the various documentation about porting:
        https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/porting/introduction.html

        Not sure if it will help if there is no Halium port for your device:

          Hey thanks for the replay.
          am going through the documentaions and they also say take lineage os or cyanogen os source file. and it sucks for devices like mine.

            I understand.
            In order to port Ubuntu Touch to your device, we need the android AOSP kernel with all specific modifications to talk to the various hardware components.
            I don't know if there is a way to get those sources from elsewhere, but Cyanogen or Lineage guys achieve to get it, so there is a way...

            Anyhow good luck. And maybe someone here can see your post and know a better answer.
