      Hey all!

      So I finally bit the bullet and decided to try out flashing a linux based phone distro onto this phone. I currently have a tuga power rom for Android Oreo. I was just wondering if anyone has had experience with these other distros and which worked the best on the oneplusone?

      Obviously if I'm posting here I'm leaning towards UT but am not sure if I could use it as a daily driver. I currently use things like the brave browser, signal texting app, google maps, camera, flashlight and a photo gallery. That is pretty much it. I'm currently using ATT towers in the US and would like 3g/4g if possible. Battery life is also something I'm interested in.

      Any feedback would be awesome! Thx

        @linuxhelmet My advise would be try both UBPorts as well as Sailfish.

        Although plasma-mobile can become a great platform currently it is not usable on the oneplus one.

        Both UBPorts as well as Sailfish run quit well. I think you have to check which apps you want to use are available and use that to decide which one to install.

        You can ofcourse install both and even, as I do, sometimes boot Android. I am using Sailfish 94% of the time.

          Thanks for the input. Is there a list of all the available apps for ubuntu touch? I may just try out both and see which I feel more comfortable with. What issues have you ran into with ubuntu touch?

              Thanks for all the help! I can pretty well use telegram instead of signal for texting, looks like it does have a gps map program similar to google maps along with other basic apps, but now my question is:

              What web browser is it using as the default?
              If it's firefox or if there's a way to get a snap version of firefox working I should be able to manage.

              Sorry if this is a lot of basic questions I haven't installed anything as of yet.

                The default Ubuntu Touch web browser is a lightweight UI on top of the Oxide browser engine based on Chromium.

                    What all security features does this browser have? I know with the brave browser it has a ad, script, and phishing blocker built in. It also has fingerprint protection and https upgrader built in. Does this browser have anything like that? Ex: (extensions that do the same?)

                    Sorry if this has turned into a lot of different questions just seeing if I can turn this into a daily given my usage. Is it even possible to port android apps over to Ubuntu Touch?

                      To my knowledge, only a Private Mode. But healthy behaviour is, in my opinion, sufficient to ensure a proper level of safety

                        @libremax There is also an advertising blocker, through an external application, that works quite well: uAdBlock

                          Thank but I can't find uAdBlock neither in https://uappexplorer.com/ nor in https://open.uappexplorer.com/.
                          No result with an internet search either

                                    Sorry for asking but what exactly are you doing? Which files are you using to flash ubports? Which files are you using to flash sailfish? What do you mean with 'when updating sailfish'? Which installed system does not start?

                                        This thread is really old. I think it may be best to start a new thread to discuss this bearing in mind the main purpose of this forum is UBports and Ubuntu Touch. Also we don't support dual boot even though a few have done this.
