Check out the https://ubports.com/ project, they have continued Ubuntu Phone (which has officially been discontinued), and they have made really impressive progress since then. You can really run it on a phone and have all drivers working, unlike postmarketOS (but we have different goals, remember). One of our goals is packaging all sorts of user interfaces, and ubports is one of them (but it depends on individual developers, if they actually want to do it, because developers are encouraged to work on what they like most): https://github.com/postmarketOS/pmbootstrap/issues/62

No, all you need is the source code to a kernel that works on the phone. This could be from LineageOS, AOSP, TWRP, CyanogenMOD (if they didn't transfer it to LineageOS yet), or any other random repository on github with "kernel" and your device's codename in the repositories name. There are lots of those actually. Even if you can spend "only" one weekend on it, it would hep porting to your phone immensely. As we document our progress in a device specific page, someone else can pick it up from there and advance your port! https://github.com/postmarketOS/pmbootstrap/wiki/Devices Get started here: https://github.com/postmarketOS/pmbootstrap/wiki/Porting-to-...

If you have some time to spare and your oneplus one is not your day-to-day phone, you could give porting pmOS to it a try: https://github.com/postmarketOS/pmbootstrap/wiki/Porting-to-... All you need is some Linux knowledge, and we will help you with the process in the irc/matrix channel. Even if you can't get very far, it helps the next guy who picks up your work and starts from there. That's why we document our progress on a device-specific wiki page: https://github.com/postmarketOS/pmbootstrap/wiki/Devices
