Firstly you most likely just cannot. Device support is very narrow.

But I have a phone I got secondhand just to play with it. I want to love it, but it feels dated. The gestures make using a lot of stuff hard. But the biggest thing is that in my country I can't even make calls due to no VoLTE support. Kinda kills even using it daily even as an experiment.

I did submit a pull request to add Colemak keyboard layout support to the keyboard though, which was accepted. So technically I'm a contributor :)

    There is some VoLTE support in UT. The problem is that "VoLTE" isn't actually a standard and needs to be implemented differently for every vendor SoC, so that makes it very difficult to support.

    Is that the reason? Skimming through dev blogs I had hoped the new ofono supported Mediatek and Snapdragon VoLTE.

    Not a bad overview, but IMO too focused on "it's not like Android" aspect, especially when talking about muscle memory and apps. I found Ubuntu Touch much smoother than phosh on PinePhone a few years back.

    Just got a cheap supported phone for Ubuntu Touch, so gonna try it out too.

    This is the directional development we need to escape Google AI I every android device and being beholden to crappy spyware devices. I hope that we start to see a flood of options. Evolution time!
