I hoped that someone who knew how many developer hours it might take for a new UT build for a new device could estimate their initial time spent, and answer.
That may still happen. We're a bunch of volunteers, and most of us have full lives and don't read the forums every day.
@oldbutndy said in OnePlus just informed me they will NOT unlock bootloader for a device on bought on Ebay.:
Since I am newbie, I did not think of this.
That's to be expected. That's why I told you. 
It's OK to be a newcomer; that's how we all started, and we can only grow as a community by welcoming newcomers!
@oldbutndy said in OnePlus just informed me they will NOT unlock bootloader for a device on bought on Ebay.:
I really wish there were Pinned Notes, or similar solution, at top of UBPorts pages, to inform newbies such as myself of these critical details.
We very often don't know such details until one of us, like you, tries it. You could try informing your device's porter, and maybe they could make a note on the device page.

Question: How many hours / weeks / months does it take average developer to get UT working on a new phone ?
For example, Pixel 4XL ?
Exactly what level of skills are required ?
These are good questions. The answers can be found here:

@oldbutndy UBports as such has no plans, because we (including you!) are a community, a loosely connected group of volunteers. Whether a certain device gets ported depends on there being someone who
If there is no such person around, then no port is going to happen. On the other hand, it's not impossible for the Pixel 3a XL to get a new maintainer and VoLTE support.
You might have luck getting help with your Oneplus Nord N10. Maybe one of the old hands here has a trick up their sleeve. No guarantees, but who knows.
As is forum policy, your topic will now be moved to the Offtopic Area. The device areas are for supported devices. Thank you for understanding.
i need to install flatpak and instal kde plama mobile
I don't think those two are possible. Why do you 'need' those things? Maybe there is another way to get to where you want to be.
@ZZZZ said in Redmi Note 8 Pro:
Hello, can you tell me why the OpenStore app doesn't work after installing UT on the Redmi Note 8 Pro?
No, but maybe it's because the port is outdated and abandoned?
@Sander Testing testing 1. 2. 3...
YES It works! What a great app this has become. 
It's a winner!
@trynafindbhumik You just got your answer on the Telegram group, so just for completeness:
No, each device needs its own port, and there is no port for that device. That means it's not supported.
Supported devices are listed on https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/
This topic will now be moved to off-topic.
@DJac said in Welcome to UBports International!:
I'm not sure that's clear for new users...
We don't know either, it's a new thing that we are trying out. Let's give it a chance, and after a while we can evaluate and see if anything needs to be changed.
@vverve said in Pixel 3a how to migrate from UT to droidian or mobian ?:
Goal is retry to install mobian
So you're on Droidian and are trying to install Mobian.
I don't see how that's even half on topic on a forum that's only about Ubuntu Touch. Sorry!
@ZZZZ English please.
Hello, can you tell me if it is possible to install Ubuntu touch on Redmi Note 8 Pro
Yes, it's possible but the port is outdated and abandoned.

@vverve said in How to install UT on a device currently running mobian?:
Does anyone know if what AI suggest is ok ?
We don't care what AI says. I advise you to do what the device page and the installer say. The device page for your device should tell you what needs to be installed on your device prior to installation of UT, and usually that's a stock version of Android.
I must say your question is not completely clear to me. What do you have installed, and what do you wantto install?
@bgriffis said in KeePass on UT?:
would I need to grab the keepass database using a different method?
I'd use a cable.
I'll repeat myself in case it was not clear:
You can't lock the bootloader on Ubuntu Touch, it will brick the device.
What can you do? You can rest easy, knowing that this message is completely normal on Ubuntu Touch, and almost all users see something similar when their phone boots.
My strategy is to see it as a badge of honour, a visible proof that you freed the device from Google's clutches. It's not mandatory, but certainly allowed, to respond with a loud "MUHAHAHAHA!" every time you see it.
@pparent said in Signal UT: Signal-Desktop for Ubuntu Touch:
I've published the new version v7.83.0-1 that allows uploading files.
Veeeeery nice! It looks slightly hacky, but yes it works. Another sweet improvement!
