Pixel 3 (will 3a installer work?)

droddy

is it worth trying? or should I just start learning how to and create a new port? Both?

flohack

@droddy No, please dont try, device images are device specific, and you would need a new port for this.

You can go to https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/porting/index.html and start familiarizing yourself with how to port, things you will need:

A desktop PC with Linux
C and C++ skills, at least basic understanding of what a compiler + linker do
How to configure a kernel, basic understanding of what it does and how its structured on disk
Git and how to work with branches, patches, commits etc.
Basic understanding of shell scripts, various config files
Any Android knowledge helps a lot

@flohack Thanks! I have a lot of that but am missing probably the key essentials. Meh, I'll dive in head first and see how far I get.
Is this thread an alright place to ask for help with the port or should I look to another forum or start a new thread?

Hi @droddy
You can ask here, it's fine.
And there is also a porting sub-forum where porters can help you.

I don't know which one will drag more readers able to help, but if it doesn't work here you can try and open a new thread in "Porting"

Did a port attempt get somewhere on the Pixel 3?

If someone sends me a device for a few months I can try. I cannot however keep buying devices, even if they are used and cheap, I did this already too often

@Flohack I have a Pixel 3 that I can send to you for a couple of months if you'd like. As long as I can get it back and use Ubuntu Touch on it
