That said, would the project benefit from early user adopters already? I own a nexus 5 which is my only and active phone. I could not help as dev, but I could try to install and see if I can manage my day with what there is and report bugs from a user perspective. However, only if this makes sense already.

I wish you all the best in this endeavor! It is great to see plasma go mobile. This is what I wished for in the recently conducted survey by kde.ev

How did you do it?
Maybe you could post a tutorial in the devices section(eg. [TUTORIAL]How to get Plasma Mobile working on Oneplus One.)
Oh and also post in the tutorial, what bugs did it have, I think this would help the Plasma developers to get a fully functional port.

With the help of JBB I was able to test it on a Raspberry Pi 3 with an official 7 inch touch display.
Please see the related post ...viewtopic.php?f=297&t=133683

It is far from running smooth but it is usable. Since it is a native linux environment on a 'standardized' and portable (battery-powered), 'touch-enabled' hardware, it maybe would be a good idea to support it further.
If you look on the views column related to the post you see that there is a lot of interest for this topic/device.

well,my big question here is,why put this amazing thing that is a base for gnu/linux like ubuntu or arch over another 1 ? well,so we need first to throw away the stock (i am a fan of stock as it uses all the drivers for the device,not CM that lack many of them just to bring a few more options) and install CM and after that again install plasma over CM,don't u find this kinda wierd ? why not just make it extremely simple ? install it as a stock like,completly bypass the android (ik that is very complicated coz of the drivers) or just install it over the stock,it has more beneficial things by using the original drivers
i own an Asus Z00A, and the best of this device is it's cpu,not an ARM,it is an x86_64 cpu,which i believe that would run KDE plasma much better than all ARM put together,just like a desktop PC and mine is the 4 Gb ram,so plenty for KDE Plasma to run nicely,i wish that some1 would look into this and give an answer,i believe that actually porting would be easier than on an ARM cpu
