Perfect:

• open hardware (ok, thats not the OS) from fair production (Hello, Fairphone)
• open source OS (meaning Gnu/Linux, incl. drivers and firmwares, if possible, and long term updates)
• as little dependencies on Android and vendors as possible
• convergence would be a nice-to-have

Because this does not exist atm, I do not own a smartphone. Still thinking, if I should get a Fairphone or a Neo 900 (unclear, what's happening there) or a Zerophone). Or if I should wait, if ever some crowdfunding project will offer, what I want.

@ChloeWolfieGirl said in Any news of the Oneplus 3 porting project?:

We have 3 people working on the OP3 port but they are all volunteers and Marius is focusing on the OnePlus One, FairPhone and Nexus 5 currently, though I know he's extremely excited to work on the OnePlus 3, he just wants to get those devices fully working and on the stable branch first

It would very nice, if Marius could give an update what progress he is making (I am especially interested in the Fairphone, and a lot of Fairphone user are quite interested in the Ubuntu Port, too)...

Thanks!

@NeoTheThird I have difficulties seeing this dock becoming a success, because there are way too few devices running UB, and not a single community port is feature complete. And it's difficult to say, if Android users will like this dock....

It would be a nice device. It appears that KDE wants to support it. I wonder how difficult it would be to run UB on such a device. Much easier than on any other?

@WLBI You will be able to use larger displays later on, if you want. BTW: David Hunt made a PiPhone 3 years ago ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eaiNsFhtI8 ) ... With some optimization, which the ZeroPhone does, this really is a complete handheld computer and phone. Maybe even almost entirely open source soon, because open GPU-drivers are coming along, and there are efforts for an open firmware.

@Mitu said in A vision of where to go after Ubuntu Touch's death:

Someone has already forked the Unity 8 here: https://unity8.org/

The 'someone' is Marius Gripsgård...

Move the Unity8 from Mir to Wayland

Main question to me: really to get rid of Mir (very difficult) OR make MIR Wayland-compatible (still not easy)? See also: http://voices.canonical.com/alan.griffiths/2017/04/07/the-end-of-a-dream/

@Thatoo Thanks for the link. Sound promising, as M. Gripsgard also mentions...:

@apple.muncy With regards to the FP2-problem, Marius Quabeck just answered that "it's not working atm because the adb/fastboot part is "incomplete". The port is also not really well running so I think I will remove the fairphone soon."*

"Fairphone 2 (FP2) !!May not work!!"

I guess, someone tried it, and it did not work. Don't know, if it works now...
