Thanks for your suggestions!

In general i was looking into the device page for OP6. checking the features, I felt OK with it. BUT it was not correct information, especially for 20.04 (explained above). So i was wondering if either it can be fixed or not. Just wanted to get answer to if its possible.

Looking at devices pages for OP6
and OP5T I couldnt see differences. Only torchlight vs fingerprint

To be honest, i am a little disappointed not because of the lacking support of OP6 (which is ok for whatever reason) but because the information I gathered upfront was not correct. I would be thankful if devices page for OP6 20.04 would hold this information.

@drikk sooo, after 20 tries on my own without any success. I did just these steps. Its working flawlessly what did i do wrong...i dont know. Thanks man!

@ixsvf
Thank you for the answer. I saw that there something is going on at OP6 "no sound in calls".
Is there a link to some guide to flash images?

Giving the information we have. Could one experienced member give me recommendation on if I should go further and try to solve the issues (like LED, ...) or just stop from here? I am not an experienced porter myself.

What I still have is :

• some action going on for OP6 in sound problem. seems like someone is actually doing something. I might get contact to him
• one of the 3 porters gave me a link to discord server where I could ask questions to OP6, he mentioned.

If the answer is to stop from here and issues on the OP6 are "solved" by recommending different device (please read without any irony), I guess the OP6 can be marked as end of life or we could mention in the devices page that the device (currently) has no porters/developers available?

@Lakotaubp
Thank you very much for the explanation. I was actually not aware of that "strict" porters idea, thought that maybe 10-20 volunteers are porting a device somehow together part by part and that i might could have taken a small part like the LED.

Please remember that except for a very few everyone here is giving their time for free.

Totally clear, I also spend hours of testing and re-flashing (not comparable to the porters I guess). But I didn't really came further in terms of notification LED.

Notch support is being worked on and there is a basic work around linked to on the forum (use the search function to find it)

the OP6 is from 2018, which means the notch support could have come during the last 4-5 years. Not being there. I am doubting that there will be something coming soon AND it needs device specific work, which is , as we see, hard at this time.

I am coming from a company where I work in high class customer support. Main goal is always to give reliable information/timeline to our customers very fast. Maybe i am a little too pushy on free/open source project with my expectations. I am learning

@rocket2nfinity
totally understandable. Thats why i am asking if there is support availble. Even if someone stops supporting device without any reason. I am totally fine.

Is there still support/development for OP6? If not, I personally will not go for this device right now and either choose different phone or different OS.

Explanation on my question:
After struggling into specific issues (20.04) like

• calls not working
• camera crashing frequently
• time restore on reboot (including issue on browser)
• notification LED not working
• notch hiding notifier

without a solution yet, I would like to clarify one level "above" and see if there is still action on this phone.

@Lakotaubp
One developer told me he is not using OP6 anymore. and the porter SEVRALT wrote me the following statement on telegram:

Which sounds to me pretty much as a "no".

Are the porters - let's say - responsible for their device? I thought there is a bigger community than 1 person per device. Maybe I don't understand the structure very well.

@Lakotaubp

Until we know for certain that the indicator can be made to work there is little point in amending the device page.

I dont really get the point. The Notification LED on the OP6 is physically available and works on Android. On OP6 device page it says
" The device hardware does not support these features, if you need them, please consider a different device. "
Which does not fit to the notification LED. It is supported by the device hardware. But, it is not implemented. If it will be implemented we dont know yet (like for fingerprint). In my opinion, the notification definitely fits to the category "not working" but i don't want to push to hard on that.

Unless the info you found specifically states will work on Ubuntu Touch 20.04 on the OP6 that info is of little direct use to UT

It doesn't. I just proofed that the notification LED is available (by hardware) on the OP6 and i am asking if it will be possible to implement it. (which i am doubt, to be honest).

here must be a good reason why under UT it does not work on the OP6 as it works on other devices running UT 20.04

My understanding is that the notification LED support is implemented in UT System. But the "low level" or "driver" level of it, isnt it device specific (like talking to network, gps, camera modules)? I understand that LED is generally working in UT , so if not on OP6, there should be a porting issue. No?

@Lakotaubp Let me clarify here shortly:

• i asked if Notification LED can be implemented
• Keneda answering that from device page notification LED not existing
• i claim that it exists because i found info on internet
• keneda ask me to check if it really exists. I checked, it exists.

I did not mention that it should run out of box, this is why i am asking if we can implement it.

ToDo:

• contact the porters for support (Hugehead)
• correcting device page information, because clearly the notification LED is not "not existent" but "not implemented" . (Who can do that?)

@Lakotaubp I tested today in Android mode. Notifications are also using the LED. E.g. downloading an update or messages will light up in green. i can also set colors in settings.
