I wander who can make linux OS for this amazing and cheap mobile phone
Well... if it's possible at all, it would have to be done by someone who
If that sounds like it could be you, start reading here: https://docs.ubports.com/porting/

Did anyone test ubuntu touch on cubot kinkong 9 phone ?
You can't test UT on a device that's not supported. There are no installation files for it, so there is nothing to test.
@mariogrip said in This week in development (week 52 2024):
I'd like to start posting weekly development updates here on the forums - this is a bit of an experiment, so please let me know if you find these updates useful and what could be improved.
I think it's a great idea, and I think starting a fresh weekly thread would improve things. If once a week is too much, consider a slower pace that's easier to stick to.
@Moktrull said in Sony Xperia, Model: XQ-AU51:
obviously I was hoping to port it at first, then install and use Ubuntu Touch on the above mentioned device, yes that's my goal!
Okay, all good, just making sure you know the difference between porting and installing... some people get those mixed up.
@Moktrull Okay, now please clear this up for me...
are you looking to install UT to your device, or to port it?
Porting means creating new installation files for a device that was previously not supported, so that it can be installed.
If what you want to know is:
Can the existing installation files be used on the Xperia 10 II?
Then the answer is no, they cannot. It has to be the exact same device with the same model number that is on our list.
@Moktrull said in Sony Xperia, Model: XQ-AU51:
Is it possible to port this device safely to Ubuntu Touch...?!?
If you have the skills and the time to make this new port, it's probably possible. You can start by reading the porting guide. https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/porting
@CatWithUT That might be it. I don't have dyslexia, I have discalculia. But I don't think there is a font for that! :smiling_face:
@CatWithUT Thank you for answering! It's clear that there are no easy methods to get Signal Desktop working on UT. It is what it is.
The new font is a little more readable. The old one frankly made me want to close the tab. I do realise that may be on me.
@ozcet Let's keep the conversation in the other topic 
This one is too old, I'm locking it.
@ozcet That port was abandoned ong ago and never made it to completion. Are you considering working on the port?
@CatWithUT said in Firefox Setup - Guide for near Android like usage:
Ask me if you need any help
Hello! I looked at your instructions for getting Signal Desktop to work in Libertine, but your instructions are far beyond my abilities (and to be honest I'm having trouble reading the font on your webpage).
Is there any chance you might consider an actual port of Signal Desktop to UT? Not sure if that is even possible... but you sound like you might know.
@ancientsounds said in Firefox Setup - Guide for near Android like usage:
This post looks empty to me. Is that an accident?
Yes, but one on your side. I see a screenshot.
@erikcht You cannot request a port. It's too much to ask. Anyone who wanted to make a port would need to have the device in hands, and then spend weeks, possibly months, to make it supported. That is not something you can just request.
If you feel that you need it, which is rather strong wording, you are the person who is most likely to make that happen.
Your question will now be moved to the off-topic area.
@castpixel said in Add Lenovo X605 to the UBports installer:
do you think this might work with the lenovo m11 tablet as well?
I'm not Luksus... but in general, it's a very bad idea to try to install on a different device than the one that is supported. It could easily leave you with an expensive serving tray.
Good idea, I've noticed it too, not sure how easy it would be to fix but it would definitely make sense!
@Rondarius said in VoLTE on Pinephone Pro (probably Pinephone):
the Quectel modem uses its own OS and this OS is capable of VoLTE.
In that case, it seems I spoke too soon, thank you for the correction.
Hello and welcome to the forum!
So that we're on the same page: are you aware that UT is currently, up until about now, unable to support VoLTE? The devs and volunteers have been working hard to crack this nut, and their work is beginning to come to fruition: as far as I know, it's now starting to work on a very small selection of devices. I don't think Pinephone is one of them.
In other words, no one is disabling VoLTE on Pinephone; rather, UBports is working hard to enable it.
@Luksus said in OP5T removed from device list 20.04...:
the OP5T will still be supported in the future, since I am involved in the port.
Hurray! happily waves OP5t in the air
It's such a nice device. I'm very glad that we don't have to worry about it losing support. Thank you!
This conversation has been moved to the Focal Fossa area.
@vince-vs said in OP5T removed from device list 20.04...:
my phone is no longer maintained in development, in focal
That's true, or at least: the device page gives that impression... but on the other hand there is a Noble version for it, so all may not be lost just yet.
Would you rather continue the topic here, or in the device subforum? We don't want duplicate topics.
