      So, i decided to port my first OS, and what better to do Ubuntu Touch. i was wondering if it would be easier, since the galaxy S9 i have is Snapdragon (SDM845) Based, and there's a droidian port. what should i do? i've tested the droidian port and that works well, so i'd like to know my next steps.

      Port: https://github.com/droidian-starqlte (This provides the kernel and other useful goodies)

      Thanks,
      Woolium

        Check if your device is treble-compatible using this app:
        https://f-droid.org/packages/tk.hack5.treblecheck
        Run from stock ROM. Also report the VNDK version. This would decide further actions

          Treble is supported. (system-arm64-ab.img.xz) the VNDK is 29.0 ( android Q based vendor 😭)
          so will it still work?

            This should work for you:
            https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/porting/build_and_boot/standalone_kernel_build.html
            Use halium 10 as base.
            Deviceinfo values can probably be reused from the Droidian port:
