Ubuntu Touch on Nexus 5X - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have Ubuntu on my laptop and it works fine and I like it. So I am wondering if there is a chance to see Ubuntu Touch for our device?
If yes, is it a big deal as a mobile OS to have instead of Android?
If no, is it possible to port it myself, as an inexperienced user?
Thank you, and sorry for my English.

Ubuntu touch still using KitKat branch as base for they OS and the lowest Android OS for Nexus 5X are Marshmallow, so it's not possible to porting that except Ubuntu are updating the base branch to Marshmallow.

There been a release for Firefox OS for galaxy S2. Is it possible to port that OS for GIO. the requirement is android 4.2. Is this worth it or will it make the phone more laggy than it already is?

Request for a custom ROM

Hi guys.....
I am nisarg shah. I just moved from moto e to lg g3 d851.
I have a question. Why we want only android based costom rom? I know its a android phone with optimus UI. But when itcomes to custom Rom, Why everyone wants cm based ROM?
Other OS still exist. There should be some group working on os like sailfish , ubuntu touch, web os, color os. Even device like moto g 1st gen is supported for sailfish OS. Your answeres will be appreciate.
Because Android is the most popular mobile OS, so there's no place for others systems

Android consumes highest power. And thats the main disadvantage of using android. While on other hand, sailfish is great at this. Along with this, it can run apks too. So sailfish would be a great choise if you consider it.

SailfishOS and Ubuntu Touch Ports

Hello everyone,
I would like to know if any developer is willing to port sailfishOS and Ubuntu Touch to Whyred. It would be awesome if we had these OS options among all Android roms we already have.
Obs. For those who are not aware about, Ubuntu touch is still on development by a open source community called Ubports.

Is it possible to trebleize Sailfish OS and/or Ubuntu touch

I was wondering if it was possible to treblize sailfish os and/or ubuntu touch. It would've been wonderful.
Nothing is impossible, but bringing ubuntu or any other OSs which aren't android based is going to be pain, don't get me wrong, it might not, im not sure, but Linux isn't Android (Except the Kernel)

I like your attitude. I think porting Linux to a treble device wouldn't be too hard just because Linux is very flexible, but I wouldn't know how to go about it. I'd like to do something similar to the op, only I want forward port Nougat to a treble device. A blast from the past kind of deal.

Thanks,
As far as i know these os'es are based on halium which is based on android 5.1 and 7.1 . It will be only possible if they upgrade their android version

Yes that is right.
I was about to ask the same question....the linux Arm64 images are available already (for Arch & Debian at least) so if we got these to become GSI that would be awesome and will give us way more freedom
