Can I make a OnePlus 7 Pro port?
-
Hi all,
I briefly read that Ubuntu Touch ports for new or unsupported devices can be made by anyone, granted they have the know-how to do so. Is this true? I am really drawn to Ubuntu Touch because I love the idea of getting away from Google. I have never developed for Linux. I only know basic C at best. However, I consider myself to be tech savvy, and I am definitely passionate about security!
Could I make a reasonable attempt at making my own port for the OnePlus 7 Pro by following the online guide? What would something like that entail? Am I better off waiting for an experienced community member to do it? Is a port for the OnePlus 7 Pro currently in the works?
Thanks!

If you feel strong enough you can try i would say, but i think it's a long way so don't start it thinking you'll succeed a full working phone in one month.
Get an eye here : https://forums.ubports.com/category/33/porting to see how it's going for others ports.

@SwankyBarbecue4 I think the main issue here maybe that the halium version for your device is not ready yet. But when it is there is plenty of help available.
