Pinephone Halium Port

[Lumpology]

I might be totally out of line by making a post like this (please correct any misunderstandings I might have). But I have been wondering about the possibility of a pinephone port using Halium. My rational being that the current pinephone UT project is not really very usable. With the success of the Halium ports on other devices I wonder about the possibility of using Halium with one of the pinephone Android projects to possibly achieve a better more stable port for pinephone then currently exists. Any thoughts on this? I am aware the GloDroid project is progressing a fair bit.

@lumpology I'm not a specialist, but it seems to me that the Halium project is a kind of abstraction layer for porting Ubuntu Touch (or other Linux OS) to a native Android device.

Halium allows/helps Ubuntu Touch to communicate with the hardware layer of Android-based devices.

Since the Pinephone is not an Android device, Halium would be useless in this case. The porting is done on the open-source hardware code provided by the manufacturer (Pine 64).

There is no problem asking things to understand better.

@stanwood answered you, but i'll add that booting process of pinephone is not the same as android devices, and even if this may be possible (i don't know) to boot an android port on pinephone, the best is to boot directly a GNU one, hardware is designed for this.

However i moved thread as it is not in the good part of forum.
