<![CDATA[New devices.]]>My question did not get answered in latest Q&A, so I thought I might ask again.
As we all know that Librem 5 will/might become a new UT device, are the plans to port to other (pre-announced or at least mentioned) phones like Opo3/3t, Opo 5 shelved and Ubports will concentrate to Librem 5 only, or you still continue to create a new ports?
Thank you.

There are many porters doing Halium ports right now, see https://github.com/Halium/projectmanagement/issues and WOW there are many good starting points for new devices already. Hopefully some of them will be great UT devices one day!

Yeah, I just don't want to spend an extra money on device that UT won't be ported to. And there is other question of availability of Opo3/3t, Opo5, as new ones are getting rare and not everyone wants a second-hand device for whatever reason.

I just hope my aged laptop can hold out until a capable converging device appears, because I'd rather use UT/Unity8 than anything else.

I know all this info, just waiting for (almost ) a year is little bit frustrating ( exciting while being developed)
So many of us are waiting for a proper Linux phone, maybe in a meantime we can have something else before Librem 5.

Newer kernel. Not restricted by Android. Fewer proprietary blobs (being worked on). Hopefully it will be a real catalyst for Linux on mobile devices, and a real opportunity for UT to shine.

First porting to Halium and then completing the porting with the UT part.

IF Librem 5 becomes a reality, it won't need the HAL (*) part, so it'll be easier to have UBports running in that device. In other words, you don't need the complex hacks to communicate with android because Librem 5 is (will be) android free.

Or as Purism says (https://puri.sm/shop/librem-5/😞

Running Free/Libre and Open Source software and a GNU+Linux Operating System designed to create an open development utopia, rather than the walled gardens from all other phone providers.
