And PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE : Sort them by Brand and their Model Name !!!
No, please don't. Sorting by matureness is a lot more useful to me.

We'll have sorting options soon, so you can choose to list them alphabetically or using maturity, but to have this and the filters as well we need the data about these ports

The sooner we know, the better!
True. I can say that Halium 9 devices will stay, but that's mostly up to the porter. If they wish to add all the necessary changes needed to make the device work, it will work, otherwise not.

@capsia Thank you for the hint. Now I have completed the edition of the data/devices/vegetahd.md but I cannot commit the changes because of the message: "! Someone edited the file the same time you did. Please check out the file and make sure your changes will not unintentionally remove theirs." I cannot find this file. How to proceed now?
-
@nikfrager I'm not sure if you already did, but you should make a fork before you commit the file. Then you can make the commit and file the merge request.
-
@nero355 Sorry but agree strongly with @Moem. It is of more use for people to know what devices are the most usabe as a daly driver quickly and as mentioned in the new blog https://ubports.com/blog/ubports-news-1/post/the-devices-page-recent-updates-future-development-3794 we are looking at possible groupings based around a Stable, RC and Dev rating similar to the OTA system.

@capsia I did not find how to fork. I made a merge request instead with "replace vegetahd" and the content of the new edited file.
-
@nikfrager Good! I'm merging it. Thank you
-
@capsia Thank you!

It's lovely to see the legacy BQ devices get some love!

I agree that it should not disappear but be one of the options because of the following :
- A user finds out about Ubuntu Touch
- Goes to the https://devices.ubports.com/ page
- Wants to check if any of the phones he/she owns are on the list quickly!
At this point you want to check something like that as easy as possible like for example the LineageOS website offers : https://download.lineageos.org/
Or the /e/ website : https://doc.e.foundation/devicesNot by scrolling endlessly...

Wants to check if any of the phones he/she owns are on the list quickly!And so she types 'onep' or 'xper' or another suitable combination of letters... and the right options pop up (or there is a notice that this phone is not yet supported). It can't get quicker than that. I would not want to scroll down to Oneplus or Sony...
Anyway, new options are coming, and you may even like them.

The visibility of that option is very poor in either Dark Mode Firefox of Day Mode Pale Moon
Also sometimes Search functions don't find what I am looking for while the thing I am looking for is actually there so I have stopped trusting them a very long time ago!
I would not want to scroll down to Oneplus or Sony...
Another option : https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Adaptations/libhybris
- Easy to go through.
- Very specific overview of the stuff that works and doesn't
Anyway, new options are coming, and you may even like them.
Can't wait!
