The UBports Project
What is The UBports Project?
Ubports team of developers and a meeting place for developers that wish to port Ubuntu Touch to as many devices as possible, This is a place where Developers can talk to other developers and learn from each other and help push Ubuntu to more devices as teams, or by yourself but with community support if you wish.
If you’re a user of a device without much developer knowledge this is also a place you can help out, you could try to link developers together if you think they could help, you could send a link, or help by throwing a bone, donate devices or money for things such as OTA (over the air) update servers, web server, CI servers and other money costing services and items!
A user can also get some help if they spot a bug or have any issues with there Ubuntu Touch Device, there are many Developers and Users that would love to help you with any problem you have!
This is a place for Users and Developers to Play, I mean Port nicely!
What is Ubuntu Touch:
Ubuntu Touch is a new OS to mobile devices, developed by canonical. The biggest problem with it now is the lack of support to different devices, that is what we want to change…
So are you interested in Ubuntu touch? Does it look like something you would use as a daily driver? or may you just be curious on what this all is about, Join us at the forum or download Ubuntu touch to your device. If the device is not listed in the device page, you can vote on your device to get ported.
What Devices do you support?
Currently we only support the OnePlus One, and we will try our best to port the new OnePlus Two as fast as it's out. That said, we are always looking to port new devices!
Device page: devices.ubports.com
Cannot find your device? send an email to [email protected] with your device, and I will add it to the list.
Are you a developer?
Join us make Ubuntu Touch available on a number of different devices, and also make it stable and safe to use as a daily driver… Instead of working alone, join our community and get your device supported as a official UBports, then your device will get OTA servers, Download servers, CI for builds and support by other UBports developers.
Any question, please let me know! comment bellow or join our forum at forums.ubports.com

Ubuntu touch a706
Can someone give a link to Lenovo a706 Ubuntu Touch ROM? I cant port it on my own( And i could't find such ROM on the Internet. And i wanted to have Ubuntu Touch on my phone.
I hope, that someone will help me with this. Cause im a big fan of Linux Ubuntu and this phone version is realy awesome
I've read porting guide, but i understood almost nothing from there
I'm developing portings for Samsung and Sony such as i9300 and Z Ultra.
Hi, is there a good guide to port ubuntu touch?
The one on ubuntu site is little bit confusing.
Thank you.

Hey everyone!
I am not so sure if this is the right place to ask but would anyone feel the need to have a site dedicated for Phablets?
:good:If you answered YES what would you personally like to see on the site?
I'm looking to create a community where people can find everything there is to know about Phablets, where developers can post up any Phablet related apps or roms they may have created.
P.S volunteers are welcomed! shoot me a PM
God I hate that word. Phablet, how stupid is that (not the op's fault). But it gets even worse. Do you know what it's called in German? Smartlet as a combination of smartphone and tablet. God, please send brain...
Back to topic: I don't really see the need for a dedicated community for the Note and Note 2 (the only devices in that class). In fact the two devices are simply bigger smartphones. They use the same os as every Android phone out there, the same apps... They don't even run in tablet mode. So since there is no need for a dedicated community for small smartphones I don't see a need for creating one for big phones. But if you think creating a community would be helpful feel free to do so. It adds another source of information which is always a good thing.

As everyone here knows the droid 4 is a great phone. For me, and I think most of you agree, it is the best QWERTY phone on the market at the moment many of us will hang on to this phone.
My idea is to have a community of developers for the droid 4. I see there are people that are developing for it, but most are doing it separately.
I myself am not a coder but I could help with testing, bug reports, etc. and I think other users would like to help too. I think that more people helping would make development better and easier.
As a suggestion a simple website for the project with status updates, links to the bug tracker, wiki, etc could be setup. It could also have donations for the project. I could help with the website if needed.
What do you guys think, do you think a community for the Droid 4 would be a good idea?
The idea it's good but right now the only active developers are @lucize and @stargo ... but who knows it would be great!
Hi Guys,
i am wondering that there is absolute no AOSP Development for the Z3+/Z4 aka "E6553". I would love to do it by myself but i dont have a Computer which would be able to deal with Compiling and so on. I think hundreds of Users would be very happy and thankful if someone would start Developing for our Device. The really strange thing is the Z5 and the Z3+/Z4 are 98% the same device, same Hardware except of the Fingerprint Sensor and the resolution of the Camera, even the Build Source from Sony is the same for both devices, there is AOSP Development for the Z5 but the Developer dont even answer to questions for other Devices. I for myself would love to Support if someone´s starting with development, with testing or a little donation.
Regards

There are dozends of requests in the cross device development section.
I think you had better complain to jerpelea, his FXP team hasn't built ROM for a long time.
UPDATE: found it, they didn't upload on androidfilehost. http://uploaded.net/f/53n94q

Really Big Thanks!
Could you tell me Who made this and perhaps a link to a thread or a webpage of the developer?

Is there any way that people can help with the compiling and stuff? cuz ide be happy to help you with alot of computing power
Hey Guys,
My name is Krupal Ashoccumar owner and part of the Dravite Team of 3 who has developed the HomeUX.
HomeUX picked up quite well and has 90k installs now with a lot of positive feedbacks from the users but because of uni commitments and budget our team were not able to finish the project and squash out all the bugs. Our team loves this launcher and we don't want to leave this project incomplete so we will like to go open source and ask other developers to join.
HomeUX will obviously be free and works on all the other devices but because we mainly tested it on OPO and more stable on this device.
Please let me know if anyone is interested and I can provide you with the access to source code and dev console.
hi @mastermind131 i have just started with android development and i have only made simple apps like calculator etc. i would like to join and try to contribute to my fullest and learn as well. thank you.
Hey Guys, Lets make the awesome launcher more awesome. Please include me in the dev list. I am interesting, i had also a sent mail through the Playstore link. Expecting to hear from you soon.

That's awesome,if the project already has some development(and was released) in the past,then can we have some screenshots of how the launcher looks like?
I would like to participate as well
Like arjun, Even I have experience only with basic android apps. But I would love the opportunity to gain some experience by trying to contribute to this.

Is there still any development for HomeUX? The Launcher looked really promising, but then I lost progress of it and now I just discovered that the Launcher got discontinued as it seems, as I can't access the Google Play Page. Is there any possibility to include me in the Dev Team or upload the Code to GitHub or any other platform so that people can help out or build forks from it?
Greetings.
Hoping I'm not disturbing anyone in this section with this thread. Sorry if I do, it's not intentional.
I was reading about SailfishOS and found out that it has been managed to be ported/adapted (?) to some classic android phones - Moto G (2014), X2, X Force, X Play, Nexus 7, Sony Xperia Z2 (pics here )
Here's one project already made available with Sailfish_OS
There is a repo (with testing and stuff) also for this kind of projects - repo.merproject.org
There is also a "Hardware Adaptation Development Kit" - link plus documentation here - plus source code here.
This is interesting - "Sailfish OS also includes the capability to run Android™ applications. It is based on Android libraries, ensuring performance comparable to the native environment."
I was just curious how this could be a potential project for our phones - can we (try to) escape the claws of "big g" and to enjoy the freedom, as stated in the "about" section here - "Independent platform - Sailfish OS is built on the premise of inclusion, cooperation and partnership. We believe that the value of mobile ecosystems is creating networks rather than exclusive monopolies. We’re set to create an ecosystem unlike others around Sailfish OS and welcomes everyone to join the voyage"
Many thanks for your time.
Have a nice day!
Just bought an n910C (exynos version) for this reason but my sailfish efforts will begin in a few weeks. Come join us at #sailfishos-porters at Freenode

dude why, Sailfish OS brings so much more to the table than LOS15.
It brings sources for other mer based ports including nemo mobile, and breaks ground for future post market OS development.
All LOS 15 brings is a slightly newer albeit slower rom that will most likely have camera issues due to the nature of exynos development.

It would be amazing to have sailfish and also the Community can have a device with Stylus supported.
Is there any advance/new ?
You needed to wait for a while, but a port is available for the Exynos variant. (Details in my signature.)
