        @capsia Thank you for the hint. Now I have completed the edition of the data/devices/vegetahd.md but I cannot commit the changes because of the message: "! Someone edited the file the same time you did. Please check out the file and make sure your changes will not unintentionally remove theirs." I cannot find this file. How to proceed now?

          @nikfrager I'm not sure if you already did, but you should make a fork before you commit the file. Then you can make the commit and file the merge request.

            @nero355 Sorry but agree strongly with @Moem. It is of more use for people to know what devices are the most usabe as a daly driver quickly and as mentioned in the new blog https://ubports.com/blog/ubports-news-1/post/the-devices-page-recent-updates-future-development-3794 we are looking at possible groupings based around a Stable, RC and Dev rating similar to the OTA system.

              @capsia I did not find how to fork. I made a merge request instead with "replace vegetahd" and the content of the new edited file.

                    It's lovely to see the legacy BQ devices get some love! 💓

                    Is currently using an Op5t
                    Also owns an Op1, a BQ E4.5 and an Xperia X, as well as a BQ tablet and a Pinetab2. Please, someone... make it stop.

                      I agree that it should not disappear but be one of the options because of the following :

                      • A user finds out about Ubuntu Touch
                      • Goes to the https://devices.ubports.com/ page
                      • Wants to check if any of the phones he/she owns are on the list quickly!

                      At this point you want to check something like that as easy as possible like for example the LineageOS website offers : https://download.lineageos.org/
                      Or the /e/ website : https://doc.e.foundation/devices

                      Not by scrolling endlessly... 😢

                      My phones :

                      • BQ Aquaris E5 HD Ubuntu Phone Edition - Ubuntu Touch 16.04 LTS
                      • ZUK Z2 Pro - ZUI Android 8.x
                      • Xiaomi Mi 9T - Jolla SailFish 3.4.x Community Build

                      P.S. : I am NOT a developer! ;)

                        And so she types 'onep' or 'xper' or another suitable combination of letters... and the right options pop up (or there is a notice that this phone is not yet supported). It can't get quicker than that. I would not want to scroll down to Oneplus or Sony...

                        Anyway, new options are coming, and you may even like them. 😉

                          The visibility of that option is very poor in either Dark Mode Firefox of Day Mode Pale Moon 😞

                          Also sometimes Search functions don't find what I am looking for while the thing I am looking for is actually there so I have stopped trusting them a very long time ago! 😉

                          Another option : https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Adaptations/libhybris

                          • Easy to go through.
                          • Very specific overview of the stuff that works and doesn't 🙂

                          Anyway, new options are coming, and you may even like them. 😉

                          Can't wait! 😉
