        @k.nacke I will try that next time as I have acquired another one. Can I add the above to the readme on your Gitlab so any one else who is interested can follow it? (I tried but it forks, so I left it and thought I had better ask). Great work on this one. I am playing with scaling as it was scaled at 16 and I thought that was scrambling text, but even at 12 some text is missing (using the Tweak tool).

          @MrT10001 I added you as developer to the repository. Feel free to change the readme. 🙂

              This is one area for which I really need feedback. This is not only my first port, it is the first time I see Ubuntu Touch on a real device. 🙂 E.g. the icons may be too large....

                @k.nacke I also had a scaling issue and set it to 12.

                The nursing chargers were fixed by reviewing. I have not had that issue since.

                  @k.nacke It seems ok after a reboot.

                          @itsjusthim Thanks for trying.
                          The kernel misses the telephony support, which causes the imei not showing up. I only own the F model, so I cannot help with this. (n case you would like to try yourself, replace akita_row_wifi with akita_row_call in the deviceinfo file, and in all overlay files, and build the all img files. This will enable the missing kernel support, but more might be missing.)
                          I am still working on the grahics issues.
