Noted, thank you for the information.
I am looking at what it takes to create a proper port for the GS290.

(It should be noted that such port would be up-streamed of course).

I'm a bit confused with some of the docs (porting vs system apps).

Is there a doc detailing how to build UT from source (assuming I would like to work on the current port of a given phone (e.g Nexus 5, Volla, 6P, etc))?

Kind regards,
S.

Right, perfectly understood. And just to be clear, I have no intention of "robbing" Volla from all the hard work they are putting in.
I have interest in the GS290 for a corporate project I'm intending to carry on and I'm fully willing to port (or fund the porting of UT) to the GS290.

My initial question was to understand the feasibility:
My assumption is that if Volla are basing on GS290 and it works perfectly fine (or at least, reasonably fine) then it's a low-risk project which I can justify the time/budget allocation.

If, however, the GS290 and the Volla are different hardware to the point that porting may be a dead-end, I'll need to treat it as a high-risk R&D project, plan accordingly and probably find better alternatives (which I'm kind'a short on right now).

I appreciate both your answers.

I've seen some threads on the Volla and the Gigaset gs290 being identical/very-close-keen.

GS290 isn't listed under the supported device, however the general gist as I understand it is that UT can be installed on the GS290.

What's the status of this device? Can UT run on the GS290 (with manual selection).
Does the GS290 needs a formal port on it's own (following the porting guide)?

I'd appreciate any info related to the GS290 and UT.
