As Ubuntu 20.04 has been out for a while now, I wonder when it will come to the OnePlus3. Unfortunately, on the device page, I cannot find any related information, and when I click on "report issue", I am redirected to a Github repository for Halium for the OnePlus3 with no obvious connection to Ubuntu Touch. Is this device abandoned?

@thilov Actually, with regard to Linux smartphones, it clearly does mean that the phone can convert itself into a full desktop computer when connected to a full display & keyboard. That's also how it is being described on the Ubports website. And again, with my pinephone it works: I plug in a USB-C port and everything connected to the USB-C port - display, keyboard, mouse, ethernet etc - becomes available. I don't know whether it works with Ubuntu Touch on the pinephone, its support of the PP hardware looks incomplete for now. But with other distros, it does work.

@jro Apparently, this port is really abandoned, which is sad as the OP3 is far far better than the officially supported OP one, and in my experience, still widely available

@poVoq I had been looking forward to flashing UT on my OP3, but when I did it, I found the experience to be quite wonky and then I only then I found out that this device is essentially unmaintained, so that bug linger on unfixed and new bugs accumulate with nobody to take care of them. I have now flashed /e/ on this phone, which gives me a far superior experience.

I have right now installed OTA 25 on a OnePlus 3 (not 3T), and I'm sorry to say that rotation does not work.

@kristatos I am not sure if I correctly interpret what I see at gitlab, but if I do, nothing seems to be happening regarding the port to 20.04.

@immychan Have you found any solution to it?

@keneda that's a figure of speech. (But I actually bought the UBPorts community edition of the pinephone, btw). However, convergence was a major selling point for Ubuntu back when they fundraised for the Ubuntu Edge, that 17 million USD kickstarter, years ago... And today, it figures prominently on the UB Ports website, thus I was thinking, that it is already usable. As mentioned, I also have a pinephone, and while I have not tested with Ubuntu Touch, all the other distros I have tested on it, including Mobian, Manjaro Arm, PostMarket OS, all support convergence out of the box. Unfortunately, the Pinephone's hardware is pretty modest, so this is basically a proof of concept, so something you really want to use as a replacement for your laptop. But the hardware of the Oneplus One is reasonably powerful, thus I was hoping that convergence somehow works with it.

@flohack really? Wasn't convergence meant to be one major selling point?

I recently got me a Oneplus One, as it is one of the best supported devices. But I wasn't aware, that has no USB-C jack, so that my USB-C dock isn't compatible. Is there another way of hooking the device up to an external display?
