thx for the link. None of my devices are on the list. I’m owning the Xiaomi 5s and 5s Plus but only 5 (without s or s plus) is supported 
But my Nexus10 is listet. It’s winter time, so I have some time left to give it a try 
EDIT: My bacon is also supported but in the moment I#m testing Android 10 on it
@Manoj your device is supported by this Lunix https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Xiaomi_Mi_A1_(xiaomi-tissot)
no – you can not use it like a real phone, because the baseband chip resp. RF communications isn’t supported on this device by postmarketos like in case of nearly all other existing phones.

thanks for information Wasn’t knowing. So I will try it only on my N10 Tablet
Purism is actually also developing the software for the phones. Pine64 is ‘only’ developing the hardware and the software has to be done by the community. I really love what purism has achieved on the software side… a full alternative to Ubports and plasma-mobile without inventing everything new … it is simply a modified/shrinked gnome/desktop.

I have nothing bad about Librem, but for example in city i live average monthly salary is 200$ - 400$, so i just wanna tell librem can be so widespeaded like pinephone, and to be honest most people will buy librem or pinephone not as their primary phone, in best version it will be secondary phone, but rest just wanna test lnux on phones like me and @harvey186, so we have choice pay for it 150$ or 700$, also pinephone has larger linux roms support, i think our choice is obvious. If librem price were 200$ maybe ill bought it, or bought 2 those devices, but for now for all these reasons my choice is pinephone.
Alpha version. Calls don’t work, etc. Only suitable for hackers.
Let’s wait a year and check again https://postmarketos.org/
Just gotten the shipment confirmation. My PinePhone is on the way to me

I don’t think I will use android on PinePhone. The.benefit of PinePhone is, that it should beva real linux phone

I think it would be great to see /e/ ported to PinePhone and PineTab. They are cheap, reliable and user respecting hardware and they let the user choose what OS they want to boot simply by switching SDcard.
Why wanting dual-boot only when you can have as many OS you want to boot as you get SDcard in your pocket?
Storing data in the phone and the OS in the SDcard and you can switch OS as fast as you reboot and switch SDcard.
I really hope seeing /e/ coming to Pine64 phone and tablet.

That will be an awesome combination, e on the Pinephone. Nice to see progress in the FOSS oriented mobile world.

I think e.foundation have had enough issues
The port to Pie was found to be unstable . There were some issues with the partitions as well. The team will be porting Pinephone to the Android Q / LOS 17.1 version of /e/OS. The upgrade of the /e/OS code to LOS 17.1 or Q is in progress. Expect at least 1-2 months before we have a test build.

Thanks for the update /e/ on the pinephone would 100% better than the OS’s that are in development so far. The pinephone has huge potential and the /e/ os would make a great partner for it.
