Description
The OnePlus One has been one of the most iconic smartphones of 2014. The specs are certainly good enough with a 5.5inch 1080p display, Snapdragon 801 SoC, and good battery life. Admittedly, this is a bit of a leap from Android or Apple for a new user, but the phone flows once you get a feel for it. Keep in mind that Waydroid will never work because of its old kernel, use Anbox instead.

How to install Ubuntu Touch OS
You can install Ubuntu Touch on this device using the UBports Installer on your computer.
Unless device specific instructions are provided by the porter, please follow these general steps:
- Unlock the bootloader, please search the internet for instructions
- Install the required Android/stock rom version ¹
- Select the appropriate installer package for your computer
- Plug in your device and follow the on-screen instructions
- The installer will take it from there
¹ Devices generally require a specific version of Android/stock rom to be installed. This depends on the halium version the port is build on. For example, if the port is based on halium 9, make sure you have Android version 9 installed before running the installer.

Did the maintainer say that feature ‘works’ but you know from doing it that
it really doesn’t?
Start by searching the device issue , if you found it, hopefully the porter is on it. 'Subscribe' to the issue in case it get solved.
Couldn't find it?
Uh-oh… Well it is time to let the porter and everyone else know about the fail and send the tech magic back to the workshop for a makeover.
1. Read 'Bug Reporting' section in UBports docs on 'How to report a bug'.
2. Then (this time), head to the device repository and submit it, so the porter knows about it.
