      @carlod

      thanks but that info should be on the page that shows how much trouble people are gonna have when trying to use it right?

      https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/device/jasmine-sprout/

      thats what the page is for yes?

      I purchased the phone and it arrives next days, I cant check who made the screen without having the device

      Im taking a risk here

          @tanos No, but uTouch allow revert to droïd or whatever was the os before uTouch on any device.

          It's marked at the bottom my device.

            @keneda ok so in the devices.ubuntutouch page I chose a2 as it seems one with the most functions working and that I can buy in my local online shops.

                @tanos lcd name should be in LCM column

                If it's something like that it should be fine

                  Installing and using custom roms is always a little risky

                    @carlod I think it is in the PRO paid version not in basic

                    do you know another program that does this?

                          @carlod I think Im gonna try installing it, reverting to regular OS will not be a problem correct? How do you revert to regular OS?

                            @tanos To view what screen panel you have you will need to revert to stock rom or any custom rom. Doing so will not cause any issues. You can further root the device with magisk and then open hw info app > 3 dot menu > allow root access and then grant the root access to app. Lastly relaunch the app and see if it's having a jdi panel or not.

                                A little offtopic question: Does somebody know, if this port also fits the Xiaomi Mi A2 lite?
