I got help from mamenyaka and he told me he would only help if I adder the device officially to Ubuntu page and did the project under my name.

I heard you and him had some discussion and fight about Ubuntu Touch etc..

sure we did had some fights and overall he did help me too... just because I had exams and did not had time to work on it that does not means I should not any credits for creating the first version of the port... it is very low that I get seen as nothing when I spent sleepless nights trying to figure out and running around for help..

I don't care who starts or finishes the project. I will thank, and donate to ANYONE who gets it working as a daily driver. :thumbup:

Can somebody tell me if its necessary to have an unlocked bootloader?
Probably a stupid question... sorry.

Thanks in advance!

Of course it is. Everything in this section requires an unlocked bootloader.

But the community needs the help of all devs. Why dont you work together. Or may be individual builds.

I'm not going to comment on this anymore here. I don't wanna start a fight or whatever about something not worth fighting about.

Did he use your source? If he did then he should give you some credits for it. I think it's a XDA rule regarding using other peoples work. I did see his comments on your thread but not sure if he actually used your source from github or built from the scratch.
Anyways I hope you two can work together on this project and give us users the ultimate Ubuntu Touch experience. Thanks for all your hard work
