Is current Ubuntu Touch possible on Oneplus 2 ?

[computersalat]

Is it possible to port current Ubuntu Touch to Oneplus 2 or is this phone too old for this ?
Can't find any useful information ... maybe I am too new to this here.
Thanks for feedback.
Cheers

Hello.
Only devices present here are supported:

@computersalat No, as @vlad-nirky pointed out. There is a port for Xenial (16.04), but there is no sound and has not been worked on for a long time. If you want a more up to date version of Android, check out /e/OS.

There it is only supported with outdated 16.04.
So again my question: Is it possible to port current Touch to this device or not or is it impossible.
If it is impossible I would like to understand why it is impossible.
Thank you.

@computersalat I don't know for sure but the kernel might be too old. This is one of the things that could be in the way.

Other thoughts:

• There may be a technical reason why the old port was never finished. Or not, I don't know.
• A new port would be weeks or months of work, for a device that's over 10 years old, with 4 GB RAM max. That time may be better spent elsewhere.

@computersalat You miss the point, there was a port for it, but it was not complete, i.e. no sound and the porter couldn't resolve it for their reasons. I have a few devices that have UT ported to them but the port has failed, usually no sound (a bit of a necessity with a communications device), no modem, wifi and so on. Porting devices fail for many reasons, one of the main reasons is proprietary drivers (that require reverse engineering) and kernel issues which can take a lot of dedication to sort out...
