However it has been abonded but it proves it is infact possible.

It's abandoned because it is a dead end.
Any device ported with the "GSI" approach was not full fonctionnal and resulted in devices not daily usable unless someone debuged it and patched it.
So same amount of work, if not more, than the classic "halium" porting method.
For a device to be daily usable it needs a good port, so a porter commited to that port, not someone using "GSI" thing and going away after.

@Luksus would way better explain the GSI issue to you.

See there an example : https://forums.ubports.com/topic/4964/fairphone-3-fp3
Spoiler, Fairphone 3 final port is not the GSI way one.

that it is to bad but thanks for the reply.

I am curious at the exact issues @Luksus ?

@MrT10001 @Moem

But there was a way see this thread from a few years ago. This is truly amazing I wish this was still kept being developed.

Where can I suggest this to the powers that be?

If we have this ability to have Ubuntu touch on any android (older) device that would be amazing truly and greatly increase the range of Ubuntu touch.

What do you guys think

@Moem

Thank you for your quick reply.

So why isn't there such a thing?
U know the ability to install it on any phone?

Is there somewhere I can request such a thing?

Re: Would it be possible to make a ubports gsi

Hello world,

So i have been searching online and this forum for information about maybe a android gsi counterpart for Ubuntu touch but so far i couldn't find anything or at least recent?

Basically i want to know if it is possible to install Ubuntu touch on any device like with the android gsi?

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question. I am not a programmer or what not i just am really interested in this os. And would to like to install this on the phones and tablet i have laying around here at home. kinda like Ubuntu desktop you can install on any computer.

Thank you in advance for your reply.
