This is kind of a pull request, or a suggestion, no: a deep wish of mine!
In the legendary times of the N9 there was a game called "Heebo" by developper Mats Sjöberg. It was later ported by some people to Sailfish Os, because its totally open source. I love this game, you can download it here:
https://openrepos.net/content/hooddy/heebo
I wrote a mail to Mr. Sjöberg, and he answered that it shouldn't be too hard to port his game to Ubuntutouch. Unfortunately he doesn't own an Ubuntu Touch device, and without that it seems to be impossible to do any conversion.
He further writes: "The software and graphics are all open source, so if you know of someone who does know how to develop for Ubuntu Touch, I would naturally have no objections to anyone else porting it, and I would be glad to help in any way I can. In fact, the Sailfish and Android ports have been done by other people. I only created the original N9 (MeeGo) and Symbian versions."
So my question is: Is somebody here, who could port it? Unfortunately I'm not a developper at all, so I cannot do it, but if I could help, I would!
Thank You for listening.

There is an unofficial unlock-Tool:

which worked for me on linux.

I also had to do the Ubuntuflashing using the UbportsInstaller twice... but now its kind of great!

There was kind of an anouncement the last time, that there will be certain devices, which could replace the nexus 5 and the Opo as "flagships" - which devices do you have in mind? (I'm asking, because I wanna buy me a new one...)

Re: Halium 7.1 Test Channel

I have a general question concerning updates on the halium devel channel. There are updates almost every day - do I have to install them all the time? My system is running fine so far.... Or is ist enough to update weekly/monthly?? Sorry for my noobness...

@magnargj There seems to be an issue with certain displays see this hint:
"Note: Mi A2 devices with JDI display panels are unsupported at the moment, however work is being done to support such devices as well. To check which panel your device have, you can use Device Info HW app (requires root)." But how to find out without an android app???

@applee Is there any other possibility to find out which display the phone has - I cannot find anything about this in the advertisments of this phone. -?

@magnargj thanks
