I've just 'upgraded' my Cosmo from Debian to UBPorts using instructions from oesf.org.
Here is the link to the thread https://www.oesf.org/forum/index.php?topic=36413.0
Seems solid and snappy. I haven't tested telephony yet (sim card in PinePhone, also on UBPorts), but I will be testing soon.
See photo of UBPorts running on both PinePhone and Planet Cosmo, very groovy.

Has the Volla Phone been vaccinated?
Planet Cosmo Communicator with UT is a great daily driver for me.
Cosmo and UT is a super combination.
Thank you developers and community.

Thank you for all you have done for UBPorts, you have been instrumental in making Ubuntu Touch as groovy as it is, and the community such a nice place to be. Take your time, get better, 'Live long and prosper'.

I've just noticed something.
My option 'sleep when idle' is only 'sleep when idle' when I have no passcode or passphrase set. As soon as I set a passcode or passphrase the option becomes 'lock when idle'.
@AppLee
Thanks for that. Yeah, probably right, I reckon the photo pushed the spam filter over the edge. I've tried to repost without the picture but no go, so I reckon maybe my card is marked until I build up a bit of history. Shame really, it was a very groovy photo of UBPorts running on a PinePhone and Planet Cosmo side by side, very convergent.
I'm getting this same message when trying to post a reply on a thread about the Cosmo Communicator. I'm new here, and also tried uploading a photo in my post, I don't know if that's significant.

Thanks for the info. Looking at the discussions on Telegram on the 15th of August it looks like the PinePhone keyboard is not working on Ubuntu Touch. I'll keep watching the Pro1-X and the Cosmo.
Hi all,
Has anybody had a play with the PinePhone keyboard on UT, I would be interested to hear any experiences with this setup.
I'm considering replacing my Cosmo, which I have been using in a sort of PDA capacity since the radios packed in a while back, as now the hinge mechanism is failing, (I never should have dropped it onto concrete 
), and it may need to be retired to the bottom drawer.
I'm thinking my existing PinePhone with the additional keyboard may be a good (and cheap) replacement, as long as the integration of the keyboard with UT is as good as it is on my Cosmo, sort of 'Ubuntu Touch (and type)'.
Failing that I will hold out for the Pro1-X, hoping that it gets UT, and also hoping that I can convince my girlfriend I need to spend $1,500NZD 
on a new toy mobile device.
I would love to hear from anyone who has been down the PinePhone keyboard path.
Cheers,
MC

Hi @hackersarchangel
I read somewhere on the forum that there is no build of the linphone app for arm64.

@rocket2nfinity linphone doesn't exist for arm64, so not a thing on pixel
Re: Create subforum for f(x)tec Pro¹ and Pro¹-X
Someone over at the F(x)Tec forum has taken delivery of their Pro1-X and has already got UT installed on it.

@cliffcoggin
I don't know whether this might give you the permission you need to get rid of the offending item:
https://ubports.com/blog/ubports-news-1/post/terminal-chapter-3-3073
$ sudo mount -o remount,rw /
followed by the destroy command
followed by a reboot to go back to read only
Please read the article in full before you listen to me, I've used '$ sudo mount -o remount,rw /' before with no adverse effects to perform other commands, but in my case firmly under the mantra of 'a little knowledge is a dangerous thing'.
@cliffcoggin
Might be device and OS version specific.
Changes seem to stick on a quick trial on my Cosmo with up to date software currently on stable channel.
edit:
However, playing around some more, I notice that if you change the text in either the 'new photo album' or 'subtitle' field, then move the cursor out by simply tapping on the album cover, changes immediately revert, but if you change the text in either field then move the cursor to the other field, changes stick.
edit:
Also survives a reboot.

Not sure if this is relevant or helps, but hope so.

You could have a look at the last few posts on this thread below to check the size of your hosts file to help to confirm it is set up okay.
https://forums.ubports.com/topic/7377/why-uadblock-currently-no-longer-works/22
I think you should be able to see the hosts file from 'file explorer' in /mydevice/etc/, it should be a few MB in size.
I actually find it quite helpful for my use case with the Cosmo, (or maybe anything else with a real keyboard (PinePhone with the accessory, F(x)tec)). Mainly for spreadsheets (Calc).
When I'm out of the office on site it saves me carting a chopping board sized laptop around in a rucksack all day.
I installed it via instructions on this post: https://www.oesf.org/forum/index.php?topic=36599.0
