        Hi, I am new here and am not sure if this is the right place to post this because I am having a hard time finding my way around here, but here it goes:

        I bought a #Samsung Galaxy S10+ with the Exynos chipset to install Lineage OS on. I installed it and bought a cell plan for it, but had problems. The problem is that Samsung devices with LineageOS cannot use #VoLTE 4G, something that had I known beforehand, I wouldn't have installed Lineage since VoLTE is the only voice service available to me where I am (USA). But it was my fault, I didn't read all the documentation, and didn't ask the right questions. So now I know. I am now looking at installing Ubuntu Touch, but I am having a hard time navigating the Ubuntu site, and the forum here, and want to ask some questions about it, so I don't make the same mistakes.

        1.) Can Ubuntu Touch be installed on a Samsung Galaxy S10+ (Exynos) phone?
        2.) If Ubuntu Touch can be installed, what documentation do I need to read (wikis, site pages, etc.) LINKS PLEASE, NO BLANKET DESCRIPTIONS LIKE "IT'S OVER THERE IN THE WIKI"
        3.) Can a Samsung Galaxy S10+ phone with Ubuntu Touch use VoLTE 4G? What network bandwidths can that phone use?
        4.) Is there anything else I should know regarding any limitations Ubuntu Touch may impose on the phone?

          Can Ubuntu Touch be installed on a Samsung Galaxy S10+ (Exynos) phone?

          Yes-but-no. There was a port, but it's outdated and the porter has abandoned it. You can find the information here:
          https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/device/beyond2lte/release/xenial/

          Can a Samsung Galaxy S10+ phone with Ubuntu Touch use VoLTE 4G?

          No. Ubuntu Touch does not yet support VoLTE on any device (with a tiny number of exceptions).

          Now I'm going to move this topic, because it's not about Waydroid. Welcome, by the way, and sorry that I don't have better news!
