<![CDATA[Jelly Max]]>Guys, how likely is it to port Ubuntu Touch to the Jelly Max?
What is missing right now? I’m convinced that this very compact and convenient device deserves a port, but it’s not that simple.

With respect, tr4in33

Then there would be no Halium bits needing to be removed.

Guys, how likely is it to port Ubuntu Touch to the Jelly Max?

Does it have an unlockable bootloader?
Is the kernel source available?
Do you own the device and are you willing to risk bricking it in the process?
Do you have time and skills, or are you willing to learn?

If you can answer Yes to all of these, then it's potentially viable.
