I'm not sure why I got locked out if you didn't flag my response as inappropriate, I'll try to find out why.



That's fantastic news!

As freemangordon stated in his post in the Maemo Leste thread, Maemo Leste requires an upstream Linux kernel (so kernel version 4+ I presume) and the ability to access (open source) GPU drivers, not just through the android/libhybris layers. Will that become a possibility?

Again, thanks for responding. Good to hear from you again
No worries! I guess that's probably Twitter mistakenly thought your account was bot or something and wrongly locked it, I didn't notice anything on my side.

As for your questions, the Linux kernel will be 4.4+ for sure (tested 4.9). The update and driver is down to Qualcomm's support. But we will do our best.

As far as I know the GPU should work under hybris. We don't have the access of the code of drivers but Hybris looks working well.

The parts that better controlled in our hands are the customised parts, such as the camera and its algorithm; fingerprint etc. I will also provide these parts in up-to-date states to the devs. And the basic needs to rely on hybris.

Already know a few Lineage OS developers and will engage with them as early as we can, and provide them with our supports, in terms of hardware and driver. In the meantime I will also provide support of device and info for our great SFOS developer, you must know him.
