I was made aware of the Halium 9 porting guide on GitHub, so I'm trying to follow that right now.

Hey I've been trying to port Ubuntu touch to the A10 following the official guide located here. I've found the device repository for the a10 here, and vendor blobs here. So the XML manifest file I ended up with is this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
        <remote name="a10_remote" fetch = "https://github.com/geckyn" revision="lineage-16.0"/>
        <project path="device/samsung/a10" name="android_device_samsung_a10" remote="a10_remote"/>
        <project path="kernel/samsung/a10" name="android_kernel_samsung_exynos7885" remote="a10_remote"/>
        <project path = "vendor/samsung/a10" name="proprietary_vendor_samsung_a10" remote="a10_remote"/>
</manifest>

The ./halium/devices/setup a10 command exits with no errors. But then when I run breakfast a10, I get the following output:

build/core/product_config.mk:249: *** Can not locate config makefile for product "lineage_a10".  Stop.
build/core/product_config.mk:249: *** Can not locate config makefile for product "cm_a10".  Stop.

** Don't have a product spec for: 'lineage_a10'
** Do you have the right repo manifest?

The A10 doesn't have an official Lineage OS port, in my knowledge, so I understand that there would be no reference to it on Lineage's GitHub. And I don't mention this repository in my manifest. Why do I get this error then?

These errors above were generated when using Halium 7.1 with unofficial Lineage OS 16.0 sources, because the A10 shipped with Android 9. I tried to use this command:

repo init -u https://github.com/Halium/android -b halium-9.0 --depth=1

instead to match the Hallium version with the Lineage OS version. However, I can't find the Halium directory mentioned in the docs when executing the command with this version of Halium. How can I find a work around for this issue?

The A10 is a project Treble enabled device, so would the GSI be the only way to get Ubuntu touch working?

@UBportsNews Hello!
I'd love to contribute to Ubuntu touch, but I don't have a compatible device. I do Qt and QML. Any one device would be very helpful.
