        Hi again @JDee-Intl

        This gives context to my previous answer.
        In order for you to attempt helping out the porter of your device, you'll need to set a development environment and be able to build an image from sources.
        For this I highly recommend to check the porting documentation out:
        https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/porting/introduction/index.html

        This way you'll better understand how it works and what is involved in this issue.

          Greetings, @JDee-Intl, and welcome to the UBports community! 👍🏻

          How can you trust that an app really won't send some company your location data, when you tell it not to? The only way you can trust a program not to do something it isn't supposed to do is if it is free software. ~ RMS

            @AppLee Thank you! I've been reviewing the UBports site/documentation already, but have a lot to learn.

              Hello everyone,

              I am very happy to join this community, my name is Ermete, but I go by Il Dorato on here, you can call me either one. I came across Ubuntu touch because I was tired of using Android only. I wanted to free myself from any relations to corporations such as Google and liberate my phone hardware. Thanks to everyone involved in this wonderful project and I am excited to hopefully get a chance to meet and talk to some of you.

                    Hello,

                    I landed here while searching for ubuntu touch for samsung s21. Its not on the list of supported devices, but in case there are other efforts/work on this, I'd be interested.

                    Thank you

                        @gn-lin Welcome to the community!
                        It's volunteers who port devices, so unless you can port it yourself, which takes some doing, it won't happen for your device.
                        The easiest way to try out Ubuntu Touch is often to look for an affordable used device that's on the Devices list. But if you want to try your hand at porting, there's documentation available.

                          @wally Thanks. I am not sure I can do it on my own, but please point me to the documentation.

                            @gn-lin This seems to be the place to start.
