Due to various barriers I've changed my mind and I'm in the process of porting the trusty Pixel 3a to Halium 12. Not only am I working towards a larger system partition size, I also will help folks with VoLTE enablement, which I can't test with my carrier.
This is a little side gig but if you want to vote for higher priorization, I'll happily accept donations to let me know that you *really* want this. Further links at https://fredl.me
Why Halium 12? Android 12 was the last version supported by Google and shipped with a roaming enhancement specifically for VoLTE. I'm basically betting on better chances for VoLTE support. Also it allows for a dynamically resizeable system partition, exceeding the storage limits of the current Halium 9 port.
Of course it will be a long road because so much has changed between H9 and H12, and there is a lot to forward-port in terms of features and improvements from H9.
@fredldotme at this point I am the community manager for @iode and don't use Ubuntu touch regularly or even at all the past 2 years :-(
But I have a few P3a XL that I just replaced the batteries and screens on (broken returns from kids now on their own devices). I have 2 US Mobile sim cards (T-Mobile and Verizon mvno networks) so would be happy to do any testing if needed.
@fredldotme Thank you so much for your tremendous dedication to Ubuntu Touch and all your great apps in the OneStore. Chapeau!
VoLTE would be great and would really enhance my Pixel 3a devices. I’ve already set up a small recurring donation.
If you have the time and inclination, please create a UT app for the Nextcloud password manager. That would make my Ubuntu Touch and Nextcloud setup perfect.
