Hi,
I own the BQ Aquaris M10 FHD (5 years now since it's been out), initially with Canonical's Ubuntu Touch, subsequently with Android 6.2 (which I'm still using to this day). I've been following the current UBPorts effort for a very long time. I never actually used UBPorts UT version since I have a daily use of the device and don't want to go through the hassle of re-configuring everything afterwards while it is working now. But I still thought that I might switch one day, probably after Anbox/Waydroid was working (I gave a bit to the crowdfunding).
Now, I've just read in Q&A 108 that it might be dropped from future supported devices when UT is ported to 20.04.
This made me remember a parallel effort from a guy (R0rtiz2) on a different forum (HTC Mania) to port it to a more recent version of Android (than 6.2) via LineageOS.
From what I read, he mostly ported it to LineageOS 15.1 which would be Android 8.1-based. Most things work, at a few exception.

This made me wonder if that work could actually help save the Aquaris M10 from being scrapped when 20.04 is up and running. You never know.
Is this useless or is this something to work on?
Thank you for the amazing work.
Even if this means I will have no use of UT, I'm still looking forward to Lomiri on the desktop (I run Manjaro and I know Marius has made a repo available at some point, but I couldn't make it work).
Cheers.
