3. If so, which components of LibreOffice do you use?

4. Can you report bugs when using LibreOffice with your Ubports phone?

@josele13 Thanks for your detailed answer. Your profound advices are very helpful. I have to study this in detail.

I don t have this device either, and I am not a porter as well, but I appreciate your work very much. Every contribution to the Ubuntu Touch community is helpful.

@tchan the developement of the Xiaomi Redmi 7 seems to make progress. Could you inform us, when the Ubports installer for the Redmi 7 is there?

For me personally, the winner is the port of Ubuntu Touch from Joel for the Xiaomi Poco F1 :

thanks, Joel, for your great work.

@c0n57an71n I admit, this is an advantage of the PinePhone. I also miss a dual boot option for Ubuntu Touch. Some apps only work on newer Android releases. I currently carry around three different Samsung Galaxy S5 devices with different Android versions. Each for it's on purpose. One for ANT+, one for writing capability to the SD card, and one for phone calls the latest Android apps. With Ubuntu Touch, there will be one device more. Multi boot could solve the problem.

@flohack I don't agree with flohack. Even when developers are not present in the forum, every knowledge about devices is precious. For instance, there is a problem with the different types of Xiaomi devices, which their exact model naming. A subfolder for each Xiaomi device which is ported, or generally for each device which is ported would be helpful. Every port is precous work and deserves a subfolder, a subfolder for each device someone requests. Even if there is no further developement for a device, it is good to know the different devices, their naming, and what is working, and what is not working. This can help which device to choose. Else this information is scattered everywhere.

Thank you both for your answers:

@arubislander: I I suppose Syncthing will solve my problem the easiest way. I use my phone since many years man.y for writing. There are thousands of files on my SD card which I don t want to loose. My main motivation to choose a Linux phone was that I expected an improve in file access possibilies. This is there, but mainly for progammers. Syncthing is also available for Android, and there are apps available to control mouse and keyboard in Android. Therefore I don t see a reason why to use a Ubports phone instead of an Android phone. Softmaker office on Android is as the desktop app.

The PinePhone has at least the option to write to the external SD card, and internal and external SD card can be acessed over Jumpdrive. This seems to me another easy solution.

@ pctrl : Thanks four your detailed instruction. Happy that this option works for your you. I saw some videos about SSH. It seems a bit too big for my application. It also seems that not many use their phone in that way, else it would be better implemented.

I also thought about a Rasperri Pi with Ubuntu desktop to get all the options, but it is not so handy. But I eventually will carry around such a device with an image of home assistant for sensor data acquistion, which is only available for Rasperri PI.

Thank you for your support .
